Note
The next owl arrives with a letter that seems to have been hastily written, with several spots scratched out towards the end.
It's quite all right, Garreth. I understand all too well that one needs to take time away for themselves. I only hope that you're doing okay.
And as it turns out, I am free on Valentine's Day. I heard from a certain Slytherin good friend that Hogsmeade is throwing a festival, if you'd like to attend together?
Your friend, Yours,
- Aileen

Dear Sebastian,
I have recently come to the realization that I have an infatuation for someone. However, I am unsure of his own feelings. I can't say I've ever felt this way for another person before. Therefore, I am unaccustomed to understanding other's hearts and intentions.
Though he did offer to make a special brew to make me think of him. I don't suppose you know what that might be?
Aileen Berwick
Aileen,
Barring the use of nonconsensual Legilimency, I cannot say with any certainty how the lad in question feels or begin to understand the motives behind his actions.
However I shall say this:
Never.
Ever.
Accept brews of unknown contents or effects.
--Sebastian
P.S. Perhaps ask him?

Maker’s name: Aileen Davidson
Petition sheet number: 130
Person honouring: Hannah Fowler
Relationship to maker: Unknown
Hannah Young was born in December 1853 at Stonefold Brae, Berwick, Scotland. Her parents were Hannah Mossman and James Skeddon Young, a farmer.
She arrived at Port Chalmers aboard the Lord Worsley in October 1858, with her parents and seven siblings. The family settled in the Palmerston area, in north Otago. Hannah is on the list of first day pupils who were enrolled at the Palmerston District High School in January 1866.
Hannah married William Fowler in Dunedin in 1873 and lived for most of her married life in Palmerston.
She and William had three sons and five daughters: John (born 1874), Norman Alexander (1883), William Booth (1887), Mary Anne (1873), Jessie Sparks (1876), Lilian Jane (1878), Rosea Mary (1880) and Jane (1889). Hannah and her family were very involved with the Salvation Army in Palmerston.
Hannah signed the petition and enrolled for the 1893 election.
The family moved to Dunedin in November 1895. Shortly after, in April 1896, Hannah died from tuberculosis, aged 42, at their home in Cumberland Street. Four daughters also died from tuberculosis – two in 1895, another in 1897, and one in 1902. It is said they became infected by milk from the family’s cow.
Hannah was buried at the Northern Cemetery, Dunedin, with her husband and three of her daughters.

About Aileen Berwick
Aileen's character sheet
Warnings: everything said in this is said as if it's from Aileen's perspective; mentions verbal abuse; short instant of physical abuse resulting in a scar; pureblood supremacy beliefs (not from Aileen)
Blood status: half-blood
Father: Torence Berwick (PUREBLOOD)
Mother: Natasa Cosmatos (DECEASED MUGGLE)
Home: Irondale
Additional notes: metamorphmagus
Key points in her life:
Aileen’s father came from a strict pureblood family. His family formed an union with the Black family via Iola Black. The two never had any children together, much to the dismay of both families.
He was sent to Greece for work where he met a young muggle woman whom he fell in love with. By the time he completed his assignment, she was pregnant with Aileen.
Not wanting to abandon her, he brought her home to Scotland. Understandably, his parents and the Black family were upset with him. The families become more upset upon learning that Iola had been messing around with a muggle man. Eventually Iola moved out of her shared home with him and married Bob Hitchens and was disowned from the Black family. The Berwicks were soon to follow with their son.
Forced out of the Berwick vacation home, he and his lover are forced to find a new home. They settled down in Lancaster, where they planned on raising their child together.
However, Aileen’s mother wasn’t able to survive giving birth to her. This devastated her father greatly. He tried his best to raise her on his own but every time he looked at her, he was reminded of his love. The townspeople that he grew acquainted with prior to Aileen’s birth grew concerned when they noticed him hardly leaving his home and would constantly hear baby Aileen crying.
On Aileen’s first birthday, he couldn’t deal with the pain any longer. He took her to Irondale and dropped her off on his sister’s doorstep. He returned to his parents’ estate to beg for forgiveness.
Aileen’s aunt had also been disowned by their parents, but it was due to her being a squib. Despite the strange circumstances, she did take in Aileen. As she grew healthier, her hair changed from the chestnut color that her mother gifted her to carnation pink. This greatly shocked her aunt.
Aileen’s aunt finally received a letter from her brother explaining the family situation. This greatly infuriated her but she tried not to take it out on Aileen. It was hard for her, though. Especially when Aileen reached ten and still hadn’t shown any magical abilities. Yet another disgrace to the Berwick name. She became more bitter with each passing year.
The way her aunt treated her caused Aileen to become reserved. This translated into her hair as it slowly returned to the chestnut color she was born with.
Aileen started spending more time outside, often not returning home until well past dark. It always ended in a fight but it was better than dealing with the verbal abuse all day.
She mostly spent her time observing all of the witches and wizards, often mimicking their wand movements with a random stick she found. Every time nothing happened, she felt even worse about herself.
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, as she sat at the riverbank, she threw a rock in frustration. The impact of it was much harder than it should’ve been for a simple throw. When she glanced at her reflection in the water, her eyes were glowing a much lighter shade of blue than her natural eye color.
She panicked and rushed home. Her aunt was ready to reprimand her until she, too, noticed Aileen’s eyes. She placed her hands on Aileen’s cheeks and wiped away the tears.
After calming Aileen down, she sent an owl to both the ministry and her brother regarding what happened. Aileen’s father surprisingly left the Berwick estate as soon as he read the letter.
Aileen is surprised to see her own father, the man that had abandoned her as an infant. She wasn’t sure how to feel about seeing him after all these years, especially when the first thing he told her was that her grandparents were willing to take her in. While she wasn’t happy living with her aunt, she knew that her grandparents would likely be far worse.
“They’d be willing to look past your blood status as long as you renounce Natasa and claim to be Iola’s daughter.”
“They’d forgive my past sins if you agree.”
“My sister has told me about your ability to change your appearance. I’ll show you how Iola looked before she disappeared.”
Seeing Aileen hesitate confused her father. He began berating her until it grew to a head by him comparing her to his “good for nothing sister.” Aileen tried standing up for herself and her aunt but was met with a harsh slap across the face. The stones from the family ring adorning his finger dragged across her face.
Overwhelmed, Aileen left the home and didn’t look back. She followed the river, completely disoriented and her cheek bleeding. As she walked by one of the many floo flames she’d witnessed witches and wizards use for travel, an older man appeared from it. It startled her so much she screamed.
Eleazar Fig became her tutor for the remainder of the summer as she remained in Irondale. At first, her aunt wasn’t keen on the stranger constantly entering her home. But as time wore on, she grew used to his presence. Aileen’s hair even returned to the carnation pink from her early childhood. It was an emotional day when she had to bid farewell to Aileen so she could go buy her school supplies and attend Hogwarts for her fifth year.
The mark on her cheek served as a constant reminder of how much of a disgrace she was. She hid it behind her hair constantly.
Combat: defensive. She isn’t the best when it comes to aim, as she’s still adjusting to her magic and using a wand. Once adrenaline takes over, her aim improves significantly.
Relationships:
Sebastian Sallow: positive. He was the first of her peers to show her kindness and she feels indebted to him.
Anne Sallow: positive. She can see herself in Anne and only wishes the best for her.
Ominis Gaunt: very positive. Despite how much she cares for Sebastian, she sympathizes with Ominis’ hesitancy and disdain for the Dark Arts.
Imelda Reyes: neutral. She likes Imelda’s competitive attitude.
Duncan Hobhouse: hates. She holds the venomous tentacula stunt over his head.
Amit Thakkar: positive. If it weren’t for him, she would’ve failed astronomy.
Everett Clopton: negative. She believed they could be good friends until she witnessed him bullying others. It reminded her too much of her aunt when she was younger.
Natsai Onai: positive. She quickly became one of Aileen’s best friends.
Garreth Weasley: very positive. What started as a loyal friendship quickly blossomed into something deeper in her heart. They constantly collaborated on his new ideas.
Leander Prewett: neutral. She doesn’t know Leander all that well but he seemed decent enough.
Lucan Brattleby: positive. He was very helpful in teaching her better dueling techniques.
Poppy Sweeting: positive. She started off being nervous around beasts, especially large ones, but Poppy helped with her fear.
Professor Sharp: negative. He doesn’t appreciate her encouraging and helping Garreth.
Professor Weasley: positive. She sees her as a mother figure.
Headmaster Black: very negative. This is due to both her blood and her father's betrayal of his sister.

Hey guys, I know I said that I'd work on Aileen's backstory today. And I have. I've just had to do a lot more research on lore for her. At least with Victoria, it was more easily accessible history.
(This is coming from someone that had never really known wizarding world lore until the last year because she finally decided to delve into it in her early 20s, and still hasn't read the books but really enjoys HL...)
#cc speaks#hogwarts legacy mc#hogwarts legacy aileen berwick#i've had to do so much research on pureblood families to try to tie in the last name berwick and how it can be eradicated#AND i've had to delve more into metamorphmagus lore (spoilers lmao)

Update on my two MC's backstory
I started work on it. It's just an incomprehensible rambling at this point-
But I probably won't be able to finish it up until next week? Idk it's midterm week for my graphic arts class, as well as trying to get my second certification. Then spring break!
...And I don't think I'm going anywhere for it? My family is so disorganized when it comes to breaks like this so I never really know.

Meet Aileen Berwick
And finally, we have my second character! Once again, I need to clarify her club affiliation. Enchanting Elixirs is what I choose to call the potions club. And while she isn't the best at it, it gives her a chance to see more of a certain Gryffindor 👀
#hogwarts legacy mc#hogwarts legacy#cc shares her oc#i'm bursting at the seams trying not to share more about her because holy shit i have so much more passion put behind her creation ddhfhwkgu

This blog is for people 18+ so MDNI.
With that out of the way, I'm CC. Nice to meet ya. Maybe you recognize this blog from my cringey senior year fanfic days, maybe you're new. Who knows? It's the internet.
Currently a graphic arts student, and working on the GUI for Spellbound, a fan-made Hogwarts Legacy dating simulator.
Anyways, this blog will be mostly for reblogging fanworks that I enjoy and maybe some other random things. I'm just warning now that it's a hot mess but I try my best to categorize with my tags.
