SALLY-ANNE PERKS completes the St Mungo's Healing Apprenticeship programme. After a few years of working as a Healer (and getting steadily more irritated by whingey patients) she realises that this job is making her miserable, changes tracks, and goes into Healing/Medical research. One of the books she borrowed from Dolohov years ago involved some U.S.-based research where brain imaging was used to study people who were under the influence of the Imperius curse, to understand better what exactly was going on; she found the journal article about this nearly completely impenetrable but the idea of researching at the intersection of magic and science to be totally fascinating. That sort of research becomes her real life's work.

Sally-Anne and Ron live next door to Pansy and George and as their lives get busier, Pansy and Sally-Anne arrange for either a weekly breakfast date or a weekly lunch date, to avoid losing touch.

Sally-Anne holds off a decade before agreeing to have kids, initially only wants three, then agrees to a fourth since Ron would prefer to have seven. All have flaming red hair. One gets Sorted into Gryffindor like Dad, one into Slytherin like Mum, one into Ravenclaw like Nana, and one into Hufflepuff because a plague on both your houses, Mum and Dad, really.

On New Year's Eve of 2000, she stands outside with Pansy at midnight, and they watch as a muggle aeroplane buzzes her house just before the fireworks go off. The aeroplane from the potions-induced vision (which she's dreamed of several times since) is piloted by George.
