Answers:
Who?
1. Who believed that Minerva was suffering from unrequited love during the summer before her sixth year?
b. Morgan.
“Morgan’s opinion, when he came for a visit in late July, was that ‘the girl’s suffering from unrequited love.’ Malcolm’s thought was that she was just growing up. Murdoch expressed the belief that she was simply being Minerva, only more so. Her mother was afraid that she had come under some bad influence and was reading Dark Magic texts and corresponding with someone unsavoury; her father had dismissed that notion as being as unlikely as Morgan’s.” (From “A Father Worried, a Father Reassured”)
2. Who is Poppy interested in after meeting him at Minerva’s tea party?
d. Murdoch McGonagall.
“Poppy grabbed Minerva’s arm, then looked around quickly.
“‘Why didn’t you introduce me to your brother years ago?’ she hissed. ‘You were holding out on me, Minerva!’
“Minerva was flabbergasted. ‘What? What are you talking about?’
“‘I mean Murdoch! You hardly ever even talked about him, and I just assumed he was a bit . . . peculiar, like Malcolm. Well, not like Malcolm, since Murdoch obviously married and had Melina, and runs the apothecary, but odd, anyway. You never told me that he was so, so, so absolutely . . .’ At a loss for words, Poppy just sighed dramatically. ‘I swear, I felt like a giggly teenager with him. It was all I could do to remain sensible.’” (From “Poppy and Potions.”)
3. With whom does Albus send Minerva on a date?
b. Filius Flitwick.
See the chapter, “A Date for Minerva.” (Chapter 68; ffnet chapter 87)
4. Who taught both Albus Dumbledore and Merwyn McGonagall?
a. Finn Futhark
Both Albus and Merwyn mention Finn Futhark at various points, and in the chapter, “Jeremiah was a Jarvey,” Albus says, “Oh, no one had used those in years. They were something of a sentimental choice on my part, actually; your rooms and your classroom had been used when I was a student by my favourite teacher, Professor Finn Futhark. They hadn’t been occupied since he retired, which was a good many years ago, and so before you moved in, I refurbished them some.”
Minerva responds, “Finn Futhark? My father talked about him - he was his Ancient Runes teacher, I think.”
5. Who woke up in the mud after a duel?
c. Albus Dumbledore
In the chapter, “The Sorrows of a Young Wizard,” Albus says, “We duelled, and when I woke up, hours later, I was lying in the mud, my bag beside me, far from his house and nowhere near any wizarding folk.”
6. Who has a crush on Gertrude, according to Quin?
b. Johannes Birnbaum.
See the chapter, “An Evening in Hogsmeade.”
7. Who cast curses on Rufus Scrimgeour?
c. Albus Dumbledore
See the chapter, “Defeating Darkness.”
8. Who died in France?
b. Carson Murphy
See the chapter, “Hiding.”
9. Who first tells Minerva that Albus loves her?
d. Egeria McGonagall
In the chapter, “Of Altruism and Magical Accidents,” Egeria says, “It wouldn’t have mattered how he [Albus] ‘viewed’ you, as you put it. The instinctive staunching originates at a visceral level; it was his feeling toward you that was operative, not his conscious thoughts about you. The person has to feel love toward the other person in order for the instinct to be triggered.
10. Who is marrying in August 1957?
c. Melina and Brennan.
See the chapter “Mates.”
Hope you enjoyed this game! Everyone did really well! There will be another one up very soon -- "When they were kids . . ." which may be tricky, but which should be fun. :-)
