Of age in the wizarding world

May 02, 2009 18:28

I am working on my sas fic, which implies a Potter/Malfoy pairing with Harry or Draco and Scorpius, James or Al.I was thinking of the age difference and how their relationships might be affected, and then I realised that there might be an extra factor.

The wizards live longer than Muggles, and if we consider that at 120 they can function quite normally (judging by Dumbledore and how he'd be like if he hadn't put on the ring) a difference of 20 years between two wizards doesn't seem quite as big. Of course, that is a lot of time, and the fact that they have children that age can have a big influence, but overall, and from a social point of view, an age difference of 20 years wouldn't be as big as it would be for Muggles.

What do you think?
