Title: Choices
Rating: G
Characters: Minerva McGonagall and Eileen Snape
Summary: Minerva has called on a childhood acquaintance to see how she is doing after her wedding and the difference between them could not be greater - one is a witch at the height of her power, the other had to make a lot of uncomfortable compromises for her new life. The choices both witches had to make to get where they are were not easy for either of them.
Credits: =Lileya's great floral and foliar brush set, ~gvalkyrie's suddenly spring brush set, as well as *redheadstock's light brushes, another favourite.





"Well, you made your choice, Eileen."

I absolutely adore Eileen's hairdo. So typical of the choices she's had to make.

And the whole is simply brilliant. The disapparating, too. Another glorious Mothwing Special!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. :) I always secretly suspected that you'd need magical powers to get that kind of hairdo to behave.

Oh, Eileen looks so perfectly the 1950s housewife! Love the apparating effect. Great job.

Thanks, I'm really glad you like the apparating effect. :D As I said to TRS above, I think magic doesn't come amiss while you're trying to maintain that particular look. I'm not sure how these women did it without magic, at least.

Wonderful! It makes much sense to have the two of them knowing each other, and reacting to each other in that way. You show so well and so clearly which choice each made! ♥

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :) I'm always curious how Minerva would react to this kind of scandal, but I'm quite sure that her approach would be more direct than gossipping behind a person's back.

I like how there is so much details in the shadows! Not just the leaves and flowers, but strands of hair and Min's glasses!

Heh, I'm flattered to deserve such an approving Minerva icon! :D Glad you like the picture. :)
