I still laugh when I think about the fact that the Ministry of Magic employs people to come up with explanations for magic-related incidents for Muggles.

I need a mockumentary in the style of Parks & Rec about the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee sitting around a table brainstorming excuses as a floating quill and roll of parchment record everything. The Muggleborns on the committee constantly look into the camera like they’re on The Office.

I don’t think you understand how much I want to be magical just so I could work for this office

“Oh yes, ma’am, you were hallucinating. Giants don’t exist.”

“No, no, you simply saw a man riding a horse, don’t be preposterous. A man can’t be a horse.”

“Come now, be reasonable. Everybody knows a Ford Anglia can’t… can’t fly…… Excuse me, I need to call a colleague of mine to ask him about, ah, something entirely unrelated.”

Addition: imagine being the cousin of a muggle-born wizard or witch who works for this office. You work at HuffPo or CNN and every so often you get a text saying “just say it was northern lights”

and your stress migraine kicks in, because whatever just happened, it’s definitely not going to pass for northern lights

I WANT THIS AS A FIVE-SEASON NETFLIX SERIES

For like two seconds I forgot Real Life and thought HuffPo was going to be the wizarding internet startup that we all need, staffed by earnest but hardworking ex Hufflepuffs

Matilda McDuck is blind, and due to Druid magic can see people’s auras.

As you can tell, this is most likely where Hortense’s photograph came from. In DR’s style she’s known for her curly, red hair. DT17 takes inspiration from numerous Duck artists/lore, not limited to Barks and Rosa.

Matilda’s swank glasses, if they were to appear, could be explained beyond fashion choice but that she was blinded from illness at a young age. 

When Scrooge bought those cheap Druid stones, she managed to soothe their frustrations, and they decided to bless her when they were ready to curse her brother.

An aura represents a person’s personality and values in a color scheme. These auras are usually invisible to the average human eye. Matilda can not only see these auras but accurately interpret them in regards to the person’s personality. 

But this is just a headcanon.
