I've read some good fic with Minerva and others from Hogwarts fighting in Europe after D-Day against Grindelwald and his supporters--I'll have to see if I can find it
I would love to see links to these (maybe over on the fic thread? As we're wandering OT for this one). I am weirdly uninterested in Marauder-era stuff, but I love the idea of McGonagall fighting Grindelwald.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
slytherin in the 60s?
Oh, the velvet frock coats they must have had.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Side note: Lily and James graduated in '78, and Bill Weasley started in '82. So there's not much of a gap there. Charlie Weasley and Tonks were also in that same generational cohort (Tonks and Charlie entering the same year).
Charlie never married, perhaps being a candidate for Ple's short list of Neurotypical Asexuals. He was also an exceptional seeker on the Quidditch team.
The only Quidditch players we know that went pro, though, were Krum, Wood and Ginny (who played briefly for the Hollyhead Harpies before becoming a journalist).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Further info...
****
M. G. McGonagall was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early 1970s. They played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, winning an award for it in 1971, which was displayed at Hogwarts on a plaque that also bore the names of James Potter and R. J. H. King.
McGonagall may have been related to Transfiguration teacher Minerva McGonagall.
* The name M. G. McGonagall appears only in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. M. G. McGonagall cannot have been the same person as Minerva McGonagall, as Minerva attended Hogwarts as a student circa 1937 to 1944, and taught there beginning in December 1956.
*******
So M.G. McGonagall was on the same team when James was the seeker. Probably related to Minerva (a nephew, perhaps?) One reason she's such an ardent Gryffindor Quidditch supporter and buys Harry his first broom?
We won't know until Rowling publishes her encyclopedia.
