“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE DARK KNIGHT get what he deserves?” He is in THE DEATH EATERS & is CLOSED to finding out.

— he walks through the world as ;

name → rabstan lestrange pronouns → he/him identification → cis male year of birth → september 1957 - september 1958 face claim → dylan o’brien blood status → pure-blood sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → socialite amongst high society in wizarding london future information → n/a

— he is best described as ;

BROODING & MYSTERIOUS he is the swirling RAGEFUL WATERS presented as a CALM & QUIET STREAM. He encaptures what’s WRONG with SOCIETY, another PREETY FACE with a TWISTED MOUTH breathing CURSES under their BREATH. He is UNPREDICTABLE & DANGEROUS, a pale SNAKE slithering through the upper-classes, BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE and ready to strike with their DEADLY venom at whoever dares to TOUCH their skin.

— his story starts with ;

The youngest of two boys, Rabstan and his older brother RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE [sibling], were born in Lestrange Manor in Gloucestershire to their doing parents Marlie and Thiebuat Lestrange. From a long lineage of French and British sorcerers, their family commanded respect from the wizarding community, as key figures in their community. Marie Lestranged adored him and his brother unlike any other and his childhood was nothing less than romantic. Although told to them in indylic setting, Rabstan and his brother knew that their family legacy was incredibly important and that his parents had done a great deal to protect it, a job which would one day pass to him and Rodolphus. Raised as perfect gentlemen, on the arm of his mother, Rabastan attended glittering balls and parties held by his parents and their families, watching as they all vied for attention from his parents and the Black’s. Rabastan’s eyes were always carefully trained on those around him, watching every quirk and quiver. His quiet disposition helped with that. It was clear that even amongst The Twenty-Eight, there was a very clear hierarchy.

As such, Rabastan made it a priority to befriend the younger Black sisters. ANDROMEDA BLACK [friend] was in his year at school and when he was sorted into Slytherin alongside her. Other names made the list of great importance, including ADRASTEIA GREENGRASS [friend], ROSALIE FLINT [friend], XERXES ZABINI [best friend], CAIUS BURKE [close friend] and KERVENS BORGIN [close friend]. To the surprise of those who had known him in childhood, Rabastan gained a bit of a reputation as a bully whilst at Hogwarts, slyly letting his opinions on Muggle-Borns, Half-Blood and creatures be known, He was intelligent, making sure that when he targeted the likes of EDWARD TONKS [adversary] and his band of blood traitors like AMELIA BONES [victim/former adversary], it was in a way that had no merit for him to be turned in. Amongst the safety of his friendship group he would remark that he had much rather gone to Durmstrang, much to the enthusiasm of some of his friends, including AURELIA ROOKWOOD [close friend/potential romantic laison] and the silent disgust of others like LUCINDA TALKALOT [former friend/acquaintence].

Overhearing his opinions whilst at school, Rodolphus was always careful to pull his brother aside and speak with him. Although they were raised purists, his mother and father had worked very hard to maintain a neutral public facing image due to his father’s political career, that he wanted for Rabastan and Rodolphus. The idea of staying silent about their beliefs was a difficult one for Rabastan, who watched his brother’s friends BELLATRIX BLACK [close friend/mentor] and EVAN ROSIER [close friend] speak their minds and publicly humiliate those who dared to speak out of turn. That was when the rage started. Despite their lineage and their influence they were made to attend muggle studies, pretend that people with pure-blood were as brilliant as them, it was almost too much to stomach some days for Rabastan. Bellatrix took notice of this, approaching him with an important task. A wizard known only to her as THE DARK LORD [leader] had tasked her with spreading his message and gathering followers. It was the calling Rabastan had waited for and slowly he began selecting people to spread his message to, starting with his best friend Xerxes and his close friend Walden.

Rabastan became quite closed off in his later years and friends would remark that he had now become irritable and someone they no longer recognised. Upon graduating, Rabastan declined his father’s offer to help him get a job at the Ministry. Though he couldn’t tell him his plans, he needed to be out in society making connections and told his parents it was under the guise of finding him a partner to marry. Having previusly dated ROSALINE DAVIS [former partner] which ended swiftly after school ended, he was encouraged to court NARCISSA BLACK [close friend] when she had entered society, she was close friend of his. Rabastan wondered if a man of his aspirations would be enough for a woman who longed to be adored. To society, he played the role of a quiet eligible bachelor, always attending the best parties with the most attractive people and knowing he would be photographed. Then through the back he would slip away, down the alley to The White Wyvern where he, Bellatrix and Evan would be deep in conversation about The Dark Lord’s plans. Years of devotion to Bellartrix and the cause had paid off who had risen through the ranks to become Bellatrix’s right hand man.

The Dark Lord’s plan to turn sorcerers and creatures against one another to strengthen their ranks was of great importance, but Rabastan’s temper and enthusiasm for the cause have marked him in the ranks as someone who is a bit of a loose cannon. It was his idea to recruit werewolf SILAS CRUMP [adversary] without doing some stricter background checks that would have found he’d never abandon his partner and child. Him losing his temper at BOOKER BAGNOLD [victim] at Halloween on 1982, was not part of their overarching plan, but even he was impressed at how he and Bellatrix managed to frame Silas for Booker’s murder, playing off to The Dark Lord it had been their plan all along to create mass panic. Rabastan’s issue however, was that as the Booker Bagnold incident was not pre-planned, it left a lot of holes for people to catch him out, with the pressure mounting as people began to suspect Silas’ innocence. Amelia Bones was a constant pain in Rabastan’s side, a nosey little witch he’d hated since school who refused to let the events of Halloween go.

When she finally accused him at The Summer Solstice ball in 1983, Rabastan knew her time had come. JAE MULICBER [friend] turning into CLAUDETTE TREMBLAY [person of interest] to kill her was the best way it could have ended, but even Rabastan was ashamed he had let the anger get the better of him. When Rodolphus cornered him about his involvment in her death, he didn’t have the heart to lie. Despite not liking the pressure it put his brother under, Rabastan was relieved to have him in corner- watching him actively throwing the case of Silas Crump and getting him sent to Azkaban for the killing of Booker and he and REGULUS BLACK [friend] frame MASON TREMBLAY [person of interest] for the death of Amelia. Seemingly having gotten away with his violence, Rabastan has been trying to lie low and has prove to Bellatrix he can keep his anger in check. Ready to be entrusted with the next mission, Rabastan is ready to move on with his life, conscious that his brother might make an excellent addition to their enterprise and a trained eye out for anyone who might begin to suspect Rodolphus has already made a leap to the dark side.

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE DOUBLE AGENT get what he deserves?” He is in THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX & CLOSED to finding out.

— he walks through the world as ;

name → gorkem polat pronouns → he/him identification → cis male year of birth → september 1951 - september 1952 face claim → kerem bürsin blood status → pure-blood sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → associate at quality quidditch supplies in diagon alley future information → uncle of fred, george, ronald, and ginvera weasley further information → based on gideon prewett

— he is best described as ;

The LIFE of any party. The LAUGHTER that fills the air with a good JOKE. He is a PROTECTOR of the pack, ready to SECURE the safety of his loved ones. A STAR shooting through the sky but HUMBLE enough to know he could not do it alone. Arms up prepared to FIGHT the injustice that surrounds him, SEVERING the bond of parentage in favor of a family created in UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

— his story starts with ;

Despite only minutes between them, Gorkem is the older of the Polat brothers. He was followed up by his brother and destined best friend, FURKAN POLAT [brother]. Born the eldest son of the Polat family they were thrust into the lap of luxury. Though neither boy cared much for the prestige that came from their family name, they were still taught all there was to being in the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Gorkem was the mischievous one, the one who came up with the pranks and executed them perfectly, while Furkan did all the prep and planning. He was the one getting scolded for ruining his best robes or causing mayhem in the kitchen with the house elves. The world was Gideon’s playground and there were no limits, as long as Furkan had his back, things would be okay. With their parents away, galavanting in society, Gideon and Furkan were often left watching over their little sister MIRAY WEASLEY [sister] though no one complained as Miray was the perfect addition to their antics. The twins never let Miray feel lonely, always including her in all their tricks. Gorkem found that the three of them fit well, they were as close as siblings could be and Gorkem appreciated the connection they had.

Wherever one of them went, the other wasn’t far behind. When they were together they would often be found with heads bent down, planning their next prank on the unsuspecting neighboring kids. But even identical twins find ways to be different, while Furkan preferred his books and the greenhouse, Gorkem preferred to take to the skies when they weren’t pulling pranks. He was a natural on a broom, always reading up on the latest league scores in the Prophet or attempting all the tricks he’d heard the professionals did. He had become obsessed with it when he would often be ripping the Daily Prophet out of his father’s hands during breakfast so he could read up on the latest league scores. His love for the game often had the family of five making various trips to Quality Quidditch Supplies every time they visited Diagon Alley. It was an afternoon full of dramatics when Gorkem found out he wouldn’t be allowed to bring his broom to Hogwarts during his first year, he had dreamed of making his house team and becoming a star player. But the moment passed quickly the longer Gideon thought about the new friends he would make that weren't his siblings or other Twenty-Eight members.

It was no surprise to see his brother sorted into Hufflepuff and Gorkem took pride in how quickly the hat had announced the same house for him shortly after. A small part of nerves now settled within him as he realized he wouldn’t have to be rooming away from his brother. At first Furkan and Gorkem stuck together as they navigated the new terrain, but soon enough Gorkem, being the social guy he was, began extending his hand towards those who may get him some credit with the Quidditch team. He grew close to JORDANNA O’MALLEY [best friend], NOLAN WILLIAMS [close friend], and KOA TANAKA [close friend], all of whom enjoyed Quidditch as much as he did. When he wasn’t socializing with his friends, he was off practicing his flying or pulling pranks on unsuspecting students with Furkan. He trained long and hard to make the Hufflepuff team by his second year, excelling in his position as a chaser even at the young age of twelve. Thankfully with Furkan at his side, his grades remained good despite his disinterest in his classes.

In the later years of school, Gorkem quickly learned that parties were the best way to network outside of your house and soon enough everyone knew about the Polat parties. Students from all ages and houses would find their way attending whenever Gorkem would announce the date, Furkan being the one to always make sure Miray would tag along with her friends as the twins knew she needed to let loose occasionally. It was through these parties that Gorkem met LINA KLEIN [close friend] and DOMINIC TRAVERS [close friend], who he had only started to grow close to in the last years at school. The more he hung out with them the more his extended friend circle grew to consist of Slytherins and Ravenclaws. Many of the people in the group had strong opinions about blood purity, which Gorkem tended to ignore as he was on the fence about those opinions. He wasn’t sure if he believed it wholeheartedly or simply because it was what he had been taught by his parents. He instead focused on the good times he’d have with them at parties. When Furkan began distancing himself to focus on his studies their last year, Gorkem attempted to do the same knowing that a great Quidditch reputation accompanied by good grades would open doors for him.

Graduating Hogwarts had meant a new path for Gorkem, he had applied to a few teams in the British and Irish league and had been accepted for a tryout for a few. But when faced with the reality of a Quidditch career, Gorkem found his heart just wasn’t in it like it had been in his childhood. He witnessed how politics had seeped into the cores of the teams and how many only worked together for the sake of their fans. That wasn’t the dream Gorkem had so he instead applied at Quality Quidditch Supplies in hopes to keep his love of Quidditch still close. It was during this time that their parents had made it known they disowned Miray for marrying her longtime boyfriend ARTHUR WEASLEY [close friend/brother-in-law]. It had been then and there Gorkem’s eyes were opened as he yelled at his own parents for kicking his sister aside for marrying the man she loves. Miray and Furkan had been his people, the ones always supporting him in anything he did, to lose one of them was like losing a piece of himself and Gorkem wouldn’t have it. Even if it meant losing his parents. Together with Furkan, they sent a letter of support to Arthur and Miray only to get one in return requesting their presence at an elopement ceremony.

During a celebratory dinner after the ceremony, Arthur let Furkan and Gorkem in on the secret of the Order of the Phoenix. A secret organization that had come together to fight the injustice that was growing in the community. Gorkem immediately threw his hat into the ring, still angry at their parents, and Furkan quickly followed. It had been during a conversation later with Arthur’s friend LILAS ROSMERTA [friend] that Furkan approached the topic of Gorkem potentially acting as a spy for the Order. Furkan argued that with his connections to Lina and Dominic, it would be easy. And so far it has been. Gorkem had been tasked by the Dark Lord to accompany KERVENS BORGIN [acquaintance] and CAIUS BURKE [acquaintance] on a mission to retrieve a prophecy from the Ministry. It had been unsuccessful for the Death Eaters but the Order came out victorious. The night he was punished for his failure is a night he had never spoken about, not even to Furkan. Even after the fiasco that was the year 1983, he does his best to keep his roles in this war separate but the closer his family gets to the front lines, the less Gorkem believes he’ll be able to withstand being hidden amongst the Death Eater Army when his heart belongs with the Order.

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE ENCHANTRESS get what she deserves?” She is in THE DEATH EATERS & OPEN to finding out.

name → evangeline selwyn pronouns → she/her identification → cis female year of birth → september 1954 - september 1955 face claim → kiki layne blood status → pure-blood sexual orientation → homosexual occupation → unspeakable in the hall of prophecy at the ministry of magic future information → married to lachesis malfoy

— she is best described as ;

Dreams STOLEN by stars, she the COLD uncertainty of a tide highlighted by crystal visions yet the ALOOF fragments of a TURBULENT SOUL captive in ice waters . A LUNAR ECLIPSE, MYTHICAL in its undiscovered eternity, she is the INTRICACY of an optical illusion with two undisclosed sides masking her true image from a keen observer. As UNDECIDED as a FLIPPING COIN, she is the grey hue of MELANCHOLY living in shadows of jade euphoria.

— her story starts with ;

tw: abuse

Born to callous people, the Selwyn’s cared more for the legacy they were leaving than the children they spawned. Notorious for being volatile, it was only to be expected for a family rumored to hold the heirloom of none other than Salazar Slytherin. Each as manipulative and deadly as the next; the family were known for holding power in the ministry and using it to their advantage. Harrelson worked in the International Confederation of Wizards while Saffron acted as a crowning gem on his arm. Possessing bitter distaste for anyone challenging traditionalist views, the couple forced sorcerers to bend under their whim; disposing discreetly of anyone who dared not comply. One of the most powerful and noteworthy families in the country, the lineage was filled with atrocities better left as rumors uttered by skeletons at the backs of locked closets. Eva turned a blind eye knowing it was better to be withdrawn than to partake in the nightmares her parents conjured. Not seeing the world as strictly black and white, she saw the souls behind their father’s disgust. Creeping at midnight to heal wounds inflicted by her parents on elves and EDRICK SELWYN [brother] who was a frequent victim.

Compared to her brother who grew to mimic their father’s behaviors, Eva grew inwardly. Typically a loner, she developed a distaste for people among the Twenty-Eight who cared more for appearances than self discipline. With crystals and astronomy maps for company, the witch grew obstinate. Worn to a cold exterior from years of forceful opinions, Eva grew more concerned with safeguarding her own heart than how her blunt comments could leave others with bruises. Renowned around Hogwarts halls for predicting disasters, many saw her as a bad omen. While her professor expressed their admiration in divination and suspicion she could be gifted with the inner eye, she rejected it. Harbored with dread, for if true her talents could lead to peril should her father become aware. Though solitude fated for her. Perched alone by the black lake, when she heard the voices of sisters SAGE BOSWELL [close friend] and ROWAN BOSWELL [close friend] who sang into the night like sirens luring their prey. Accompanied by OPAL GREY [friend] and RIVER NORWOOD [friend], they were equally as strange and unlike the Slytherin’s she was used to associating with. The group began to feel like home. Marveling at hidden objects and sharing tales with tower ghosts all with her family unaware of who she was associating herself with.

While playing the idealistic product of a Twenty-Eight, she craved a moment of sanctum away from the snobbery. Escaping London, what had meant to be a two week holiday turned into a summer romance and the best four years of her life. Brought to Paris following Boswell's band, Eva longed to find peace for her troubled soul; never did she imagine she’d find love instead. CLAUDETTE DELACOUR [former partner/potential love interest] felt like coming up for air. A complex woman, Evangeline found herself quickly captivated by her. Exchanged glances turned to drinking with the night ending wrapped under sheets in each other’s arms. Encapsulated with one another, from that night they never spent a day apart. They cherished one another and it wasn’t long before Eva had moved in with Claude and her best friend JACQUELINE LEJEUNE [former friend]. Claude’s social circle became hers, with GABRIEL DUMONT [former friend] and RAPHAEL FRANCOIS [former friend] the five became extremely close. With her friends visiting from England when they could, Paris was idealist and offered a life Eva had only ever dreamed of.

Letters and howlers from home were burned on arrival in an attempt to distance herself from the Selwyn’s by any means necessary. The exceptions were rare letters from Erik who consistently pleaded with her to see reason and return. Not heeding his warning, Eva was prepared to disown her family while Claudette held reservations to sacrifice the same. Left exasperated and hurt at being kept a secret from people that meant so much to the French woman, the topic was a continuous sour point. With the desire to love openly and freely, they’d planned to flee Paris once Claude had visited home to leave a mere note for her parents before reuniting so they could disappear into the night. Never did Eva consider their simple goodbye would be their last farewell. Hours and days passed with no word, leading her to assume Claude had gotten cold feet and chosen her family rather than facing her again. Abandoned and left by the one person she’d truly loved, her heart ached with betrayal and broken promises. The rejection forged walls back around her heart, plans to stay in Paris were quickly torn and with owls from Opal and Sage informing her that Rowan had passed suddenly and under suspicious circumstances Eva flead back to the past and the rainy streets of london.

Influenced back into the grasp of their father, his fury upon her return could have burned the manor to the ground. Adamant she brought shame onto the family name, his ‘teachings’ had been ill in comparison to the torment she faced upon return. Long sleeves hiding scars from cursed quills, Eva fell back in line. Distancing herself from her friends to prove loyalty to her family, she took a job within the Ministry under her father’s guidance that having sorcerers hold Ministry positions would come in use. While skeptical about the world her family envisioned with THE DARK LORD [leader], she knew her alliance to them would mean safety. Immersing herself amongst the wizarding aristocracy again was no small feat. The people she grew up despising for their flippant nature were the few she found herself reluctantly making small talk with in order to appease. Though one that captured her unexpectedly was LACHESIS MALFOY [fiancé]. Articulate with a mind as sharp as a crafted blade; they were as captivating as a lit flame. Finding herself unarmed by their intellect and unwavering gaze at her callous words, Lachesis deemed her cold nature like devotion; with Eva baring her soul only for a selective handful. If Eva was the dark side of a moon filled with mysticism, they were the sun burning a heart she’d long forgotten she’d had.

Devoting two years to one another, their engagement was celebrated amongst the elite for the uniting of two noble houses. Influenced by Lachesis and Edrik to hold a stronger hand in the movements of The Death Eaters; she finds herself in the exact position she’d always feared. Proving her worth by decoding a prophecy stolen during the Solstice of 1983, Eva has confirmed its meaning to be about CAIUS BURKE [acquaintance] and KERVENS BORGIN’s [friend] mission to gather objects for the Dark Lord’s quest for horcruxes and their prophesied success. Gaining trust amongst The Death Eaters, she has it on good word that MASON TREMBLAY [acquaintance] while trapped in Azkaban is gathering followers from the inside. While Evangline believes The Dark Lord means safety, she can’t help the paranoia still when it comes to a particular french woman. Cursed into silence to not betray her loyalties, instead of worrying for Claude she is focusing on rebuilding the bonds of her old friendships. Creature recruitment heavily on the mind of The Dark Lord, Evangline is seeking out River, Sage and Opal in hopes of entrusting them; promising a world where creatures didn’t live in fear or discrimination. However with Sage’s cold shoulder and River’s reclusive behavior; Evangeline can’t help but feel there is more to the death of Rowan than she was once privy to.

"Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE LOVER get what he deserves?” He is NEUTRAL & CLOSED to finding out.”

SALT TAFFEY, as he passes by, the strong SWEET smell fills your nostrils which can only be associated with the pure HAPPINESS he brings, like a piece of whitby rock in all of it’s twiriling BRIGHT COLOURS, combined with the SALT of the SEA which reminds you he’s not one to be UNDERESTIMIATED. He is the COLOURS of the SKY, CHANGING & TRANSFORMING with the day, showing off it’s BEAUTY & INDIVIDUALITY even during a CALM MORNING or a STORMY NIGHT.

— his story starts with ;

tw: death

Edward Tonks lived what muggles would consider a normal life, until strange things began to happen. Growing up in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, Ted spent his childhood down by the sea with friends, his memories stuck lovingly on his bedroom walls, taken on the polaroid camera his parents carried at all times. The extra family member in Ted’s life, The Little Mermaid Inn was owned by his parents and sat proudly by the seafront. The most popular spot for fish and chips in the town and tourists far and wide travelled the country just to taste their famous dish. Nothing in the world had made his parents wonder if their child was anything more than their perfect normal little boy. Until unusual things began to plague The Little Mermaid. Sliver trouts rained from the ceiling in the kitchen, crabs began to sing as they moved around in their tank and one day he miraculously transformed his head into a codfish as he was eating fish fingers with a girl from his school he’d had a crush on at table twenty-three, which caused her to run away and scream in terror.

The word at The Little Mermaid was that a sea witch’s curse had been placed on the building or that the noise of the fryer late into the night had disturbed sirens that were rumoured to sing by the rocks just beyond the sea front. When his letter arrived to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, both he and his parents thought it was a joke, but the more they read the letter and the more they considered the strange goings on that had occurred, it seemed less and less like a clever practical joke. He was grateful they tried their best to understand his new world, giving his hand a squeeze as they ventured to Diagon Alley and telling friends he’d been accepted to a culinary school for gifted children to explain why he’d ever have left the only home he adored. Hogwarts School was incredibly different to Whitby, though thankfully they did at least serve fish and chips. The strange names for things were incredibly confusing and when he was sorted into Hufflepuff he was glad of the sorting due to the people around him, but he had little idea what the hell a Huffepuff was or how it differed from any other houses everyone seemed to be so passionate about.

GORKEM POLAT [close friend] and his twin brother FURKAN POLAT [close friend] were more than happy to show him the ropes at Hogwarts, explaining what needed to be explained, though he found them to unreliable narrators about anything other than quidditch. Life in Hufflepuff was easy and relaxing for Ted, cleaning up on the quidditch pitch and attending parties in the common room, all under the nose of hopeful head girl and prefect AMELIA BONES [former best friend]. Aside from his BOOKER BAGNOLD [former close friend] who he’d met in his dorm, Ted’s main group of friends he found at The Hogwarts Gazette where he got a position in third year as the school’s photographer, being the best at working a camera due to his many years playing with his parent’s. The paper felt like the best environment for him to stretch himself creatively and his photo essays did not go announced by those around him. Younger Ravenclaw EMILIA GREY [close friend/colleague/housemate], quickly became quite jealous of his talents and upon realising he was able to transform himself into different forms to help get better pictures and better contacts, she changed her tune and demanded they work together on most of her stories.

Ted was happy to oblige, he was always in the business of making friends rather than being divisive, which lead to him forming long lasting bonds with ELIZABETH BRAITHWATE [close friend/colleague/housemate], BENEDICT MISSLETHORPE [close friend/colleague/housemate], QUIRINUS QUIRRELL [close friend/colleague/housemate] and IRIS HOOKUM [close friend/housemate] whilst working at the paper. His friends came from various backgrounds and whilst people like Amelia and Iris came from established pure-blood families within the wizarding world, Ted soon discovered not everyone was like them. Ted had the displeasure of being in the same year group as RABASTAN LESTRANGE [adversary] and his group of friends, CAIUS BURKE [adversary], XERXES ZABINI [adversary], AURELIA ROOKWOOD [adversary] and KERVENS BORGIN [adversary] who thought they were entitled to everyone’s time and attention because they were pure-bloods, which to Ted just meant their parents were more interested in furthering pointless long standing agreements than their children’s happiness. There was one pure-blood in their group who intrigued him however, who seemed different from her friends. Ted had noticed ANDROMEDA BLACK [potential love interest] when he was seated behind her in a Potions lesson.

A quiet witch, she was easily the smartest person in the room, which he suspected was why Amelia was so adamant he kept away from her, though he knew it was because she longed to simply protect him. But Ted was a curious soul and somewhere between talking in class and bumping into her at random they established some form of friendship. Ted was very fond of Andromeda and although he had meaningful relationships with other witches she was always the constant crush in his life. Leaving school and having made Head Boy in his final year to Amelia’s Head Girl, Ted moved to London and secured a job at The Daily Prophet, moving in with the friends he had made at school. A talented boy who was quick on his feet, Ted quickly made an enemy of fellow photographer ADRIAN CAVERLEY [rival] who had gone for a job in Investigative Reporting working under ELIAS SPENCER-MOON [boss] that ultimately went to Ted. Working with Elias has been a huge step in Ted’s career, though it has come at the expense of his personal life as it meant long hours and taking constant owls from the very demanding Elias. Working under such a big name, Ted has managed to stay out of the spotlight, until his job suddenly threw him into it. The night Booker died, Ted had been taking pictures of the event as a favour when it suddenly turned into a crime scene.

Working during the period was incredibly hard for him, due to his close relatiosnhip with Booker and Ted was invested in finding his killer. When SILAS CRUMP [person of interest] was discovered and imprisoned Elias couldn’t have been happier but the verdict didn’t sit right with Ted, he had been reseraching the werewolves of London for some time and a family man down on his luck didn’t seem like the right person to attack a known advovate for creature equality. Though Booker’s death had rocked Ted, it was the passing of Amelia that broke his heart. Grief stricken, Ted took a leave of abscence to return to his hometown but the more he was away the more he was consumed in her’s and Booker’s case. Back in London, Ted is adamant he will proove if MASON TREMBLEY [person of interest] and Silas Crump conspired to kill two known advocates for justice and their motive behind the attacks. With his photo evidence on his side, Ted plans to use the photos and the word of the people who knew the defendants. The person who put Mason away, CLARICE FARIBAULT [person of interest] and an old friend of his who defended Silas, Andromeda Black.

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE ADVOCATE get what he deserves?” He was NEUTRAL & is sadly DECEASED.“

— he walked through the world as ;

name → Booker Bagnold pronouns → he/him identification → cis-male year of birth → 1957-1958 face claim → jordan bolger blood status → pure-blood sexual orientation → heterosexual occupation → representative for the department for the regulation and control of magical creatures future information → n/a deceased → 31st October 1982

— he was best described as ;

The EARTHY smell of heavy RAIN hitting dirt, mixed with SWEETNESS of freshly cut FLOWERS and the warm secent of PARCHEMENT. He is the ECLECTIC music playing from a RECORD as an echoing laugh brings joy to the room. He is the CARING & LOYAL shoulder to cry on, offering SUPPORT & ENCOURGEMENT. The OPTIMISM of those ready to break the mould, INSPIRING those around him to strive for GREATNESS.

— his story started with ;

Booker Bagnold was a truly remarkable individual, whose kind and loyal nature endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His heart was so deep and giving that it was impossible for him to stop spreading inspiration wherever he went. The younger child of MILLICENT BAGNOLD [mother], the then-Senior Undersecretary to The Minister for Magic, and Rutherford Bagnold, a wizarding tech genius, Booker's childhood was one of pure bliss. Although his older brother, HARRISON BAGNOLD [sibling], was a bit of a brooder and didn't spend much time with him, Booker still held him in high regard. They lived in a modern home in Wimbledon, and Booker cherished his room – his safe space – which had a breathtaking view of the green belt that ran behind their house. He would spend hours gazing out the window, watching the animals frolic in the forest and occasionally catching sight of a magical creature. The Bagnold family had a penchant for travel, and they frequently embarked on adventures to international Quidditch games and Millicent's birthplace in Ireland.

During the summer holiday before Booker was set to embark on his first year at Hogwarts, he vividly recalled a conversation with Harrison. The latter was preparing for an event, and let out a heavy sigh before revealing that when he was Booker's age, their parents were hardly ever present in his life. Unlike Booker, he was compelled to attend numerous events and they never went on any trips together. However, Harrison pointed out that their parents had a complete change of heart after Booker's birth. Booker, being the compassionate person he was, tried to consolidate him, but despite his efforts Harrison vehemently disagreed, insisting that their parents simply loved Booker more. Unfortunately, this remark struck a chord with Booker, and he began to feel guilty for how his parents treated him. Booker began to blame himself for Harrison not having the same childhood experiences as him and became more in on himself in their presence, declining their offers to enjoy himself instead standing by his brother’s side dutifully in the hope to make it up to him.

Sorted into Hufflepuff, he was ushered to his dorm deep within the castle. It was there that he met his soon-to-be best friend, EDWARD TONKS [best friend], they connected instantly and their friendship stayed strong throughout Hogwarts and into adulthood. Being a loyal friend, along with his disliking of injustice, Booker often found himself standing up for Ted against bullies like RABASTAN LESTRANGE [adversary] and his group of friends, CAIUS BURKE [adversary], XERXES ZABINI [adversary], AURELIA ROOKWOOD [adversary] and KERVENS BORGIN [adversary]. His stance and advocacy lead to him making other friends along the way including ELIZABETH BRAITHWAITE [close friend], MARIANNE MACMILLAN [friend], LAURENCE ABBOTT [friend], and CELIA ABBOTT [friend/potential love interest]. But he found a real friend in LANA CROUCH [best friend] though his interests. He saw a lot of himself in Lana, she was a bright girl lost in a big family trying to find her way, which he noticed she did when she began taking an interest in magical creatures, much to Booker’s delight. When he wasn’t caring for magical creatures in the forest with Hagrid or reading up on them in the library with Lana, he was pouring himself over Celia, their relationship blossoming into something more than just a friendship.

Booker Bagnold's infatuation with Celia lingered beyond the walls of Hogwarts, and into their twenties. Meanwhile, Booker's passion for magical creatures had paid off, and he landed a position in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures alongside Lana, and it wasn’t long before Booker found himself in the being division which dealt with magical creatures that possessed human-like intellect, including werewolves, vampires, giants, and centaurs. However, Booker was quickly disillusioned by the rampant discrimination he encountered in the wizarding community towards these creatures. He was appalled by the way his colleagues, like WALDEN MCNAIR [adversary] treated injured werewolves and altered centaur testimonies to fit the wizarding community's expectations. These creatures were sentient beings who deserved to be treated with respect and dignity, and Booker reported these incidents to Aurors such as HESTIA JONES [acquaintance] and barristers like RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE [acquaintance]. Unfortunately, their responses were unsatisfactory, always too busy to listen to him and tied up in other projects. Soon Booker realised that he needed to take more drastic measures to aid magical beings in the wizarding community.

Fortunately, his mother had been appointed Minister for Magic at this time, and he arranged a meeting with her to voice his concerns and suggestions. While she was receptive, she requested that Booker gather the signatures required for the Wizengamot to consider a law that prohibited the discrimination of magical beings in the wizarding community. She warned him that not everyone would share his views, and he would need to gather a significant number of signatures. Booker began by approaching his colleagues, but while some refused to sign, such as Walden, while others signed without hesitation. He then turned to his friends, including Celia. To his surprise, Celia disagreed with his views, which caused their budding romance to falter. Despite this setback, Booker remained committed to his mission to make the wizarding community more inclusive, collecting as many signatures as he could. The night of the Halloween ball in 1982 is when Booker's tale came to its tragic end. Booker moved through the ballroom with vigour, trying to persuade as many guests as possible to sign his petition. The pure-bloods snarled at him, and those who were aware of his intentions avoided him. His brother, was particularly angry at Booker bringing his petition, snatching it from him and ripping it up in front of his very eyes.

Enraged, Booker fled the ballroom, smacking into Rabastan Lestrange upon his exit to the balcony by mistake. Always game for a fight, Rabastan quickly dug his teeth into Booker, mocking him and his cause and a wand battle broke out between the two. As Rabastan wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, Booker noticed something change in his face. Before Booker could even call for help, Rabastan cast a spell that tore a ferocious, werewolf-like gash through his chest. The world fell silent as he tumbled over the balcony railing, with the wind rushing past him and screams echoing through the air, narrowly missing MARLENE MCKINNON [potential love interest] who he had hoped to meet later that evening for a kiss and a dance in the darkness. After his untimely death, Rabastan framed SILAS CRUMP [acquaintance] for the murder. As the mystery surrounding Booker's death unfolded, his petition lay neglected on Harrison’s desk, pieced back together, gathering dust as the ink slowly faded from its pages. Would his legacy perish with him, or would someone pick up the mantle of his cause, fighting for the rights and equality of creatures in the wizarding world?

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE COQUETTE get what she deserves?” She is in THE DEATH EATERS & OPEN to finding out.“

— she walks through the world as ;

name → aurelia rookwood pronouns → she/her identification → cis-female year of birth → september 1957 - september 1958 face claim → naomi scott blood status → half-blood sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → contributing editor for witch weekly future information → n/a

— she is best described as ;

Manicure SHARP enough to KILL a MAN, she will RIP out your EGO with her fresh nails. She’s the LINGERING stare at a PARTY, the GRIP on your ARM she holds tightly through your SUIT. Berry LIPS slightly parted, she is the words that all HANG on to DESPERATELY. She’s pure SEDUCTION, she’s HELL on HEELS, with a mind just as DEADLY to achieve her every whim and want.

— her story starts with ;

Aurelia Rookwood is the kind of witch who has always known her worth, an attribute that has gained her many admirers, but twice as many enemies. The only daughter of Sarika and Francis Rookwood, Aurelia was born of two affluent families who adored her dearly. Her mother Sarika had worked for the Indian Council of Magic as an Unspeakable and had been stationed in London where she had met her father, a high society wizard who was looking to be intellectually challenged. The two were silent but devoted followers of Gellert Grindelwald, sucked into his rhetoric that they pushed onto Aurelia and her older brother AUGUSTUS ROOKWOOD [sibling]. Living in solitude by the seaside in Cornwall, their family home perched on top of a cliff, Aurelia and her brother lived a charmed life of reading by the coast, outside of their very rigid lessons. Half-bloods due to their trace of veela blood on their father’s side, Aurelia and her brother learned from a very early age that life would be very diffiuclt and despite their wealth and beauty, they would not be afforded the same respect as others who associated with them.

Their parents instead tried to ready their minds, insisting they learn all there was to know about British and Indian Wizarding politics, who was important throughout history and how to control the magic that raged away inside of them. As a result Aurelia considered herself to be more disciplined than the average child. Despite the bullying from fellow children and the snide comments from parents, Aurelia was proud of her heritage. She had something that wizards for generations had attempted to bottle and sell- she and her brother were so beautiful, that despite the matter of their blood, Aurelia knew they would never truly struggle and that was what she told herself. Her resillance was rewarded by her parents, proud of the young woman she was becoming, and aged eleven she was packed away to Hogwarts with three trunks full of made to measure dresses by Madam Malkin herself she had earned due to her intelligence, her wit and cunning. Sorted into Ravenclaw, Aurelia had assumed she’d be a better fit for Slytherin, but as the hat debated back and forth before finally placing her with her fellow eagles, she knew it had made the right choice.

Aurelia disliked people who were stuck up, though she knew everyone with power in their society was incredibly invested in themselves. She needed to be in a house where she could feel at her most dominant and strong arming a bunch of nerds into doing what she wanted was pleasing to her. Unpacking her trunk, Aurelia proudly collected up all of ELIZABETH BRAITHWATE’s [rival] clothing and dumped them on the floor to allow Aurelia more space for her outfits. Extension charms in wardrobes did tend to create a crease. Then she threw DANAE ALTON [rival] off her own bed becuse it had better light and ended the evening telling KERVENS BORGIN [best friend/potential romantic liaison] to move out of her chair at dinner, sparking a friendship between the pair. Aurelia had always gotten along better with boys, possibly because of her beauty, maybe because of her manners, but Kervens really tried to fight her corner when it came to the group of friends they’d established. She knew ROSALIE FLINT [acquaintance], ADRASTEIA GREENGRASS [acquaintance], ANDROMEDA BLACK [acquaintance] and LUCINDA TALKALOT [acquaintance] merely tolorated her. Never asking her to come and get ready before parties, or out for a cigarette during the evening.

At one point, it did bother her- after all she was only human. But her mother educated her on the ways of teenage girls much later in life, and by the time she had turned eighteen- Aurelia was truly ready to own the thing that made her different. What Aurelia had always wanted in life was power, but enjoyed sitting on the sidelines, taking joy in puppeteering those to do her bidding for her. Becoming friends weith Kervens, RABASTAN LESTRANGE [close friend/potential romantic laison], XERXES ZABINI [close friend], and dating CAIUS BURKE [close friend/former partner/potential romantic liaison/] really helped with these plans. Despite being a half-blood girl, not from a sacred Twenty-Eight family, Aurelia had established herself as the most popular girl in her year. Famous for taking your boyfriend and making you cry in the toilets, everyoned feared her or wanted her and that was how she liked it. Upon leaving school, Aurelia flirted her way into a job at WItch Weekly- though it really didn’t take a lot. One look at her face and she was booked for modelling, her face appearing on the covers of the magazine, walking runways for Madam Malkin and Twillfit and Tattlings.

The occasional trip over to Paris to model and speak with Enchantée for a contributing editor job, became her leverage WItch Weekly. Forcing them into giving her the same deal. As a contributing editor she decided who was on the cover, who was hot and who was not and whose wedding got photographed, it was power like no other and even those who hated her when she was on the way up, how had to kiss the ring or risk being on the way down. It also meant she made friends in incredibly high places including ANDRESSA PARKINSON [friend] and her boyfriend LUCIUS MALFOY [friend]. It was after seeing them go public to distract from a scandal that Aurelia saw the benefit in being in a power couple and what that could mean. Her brother had connections due to his work, but no heavy hitters. She needed a man on the inside and she’d already spotted him. Aurelia had noticed AJAX DAVIS [partner] staring at her for seven years at school, but now he had a purpose. His family owned Moribund’s, his sister ROSALINE DAVIS [acquaintance] was dating the minister’s son HARRISON BAGNOLD [acquaintance] and he had a very high paying job in The British and Irish Quidditch Leauge, which everyone knew had more to do with politics that anyone else cared to admit.

Dating a Twenty-Eight in this climate was almost out of the question but in current society Ajax was the next best thing and she enjoyed luring him away from his pitiful girlfriend Adrasteia. Ajax would do anything to please her, even take a blind eye to her constant romantic laisons and flirtation which are on the up since she’s found her latest calling. Whispers of THE DARK LORD [leader] had long echoed the streets, but when her brother became a follower he confirmed to Aurelia they were real and their time was truly here. Confident she may now no longer have to ride on the coatails of Ajax to be respected, Aurelia will do anything to ensure that in The Dark Lord’s new society she will have a seat at the table. The taste for power is sweet and as she is relatively new to the movement, it has meant sucking up to her former friends from school who now have fairly influential positions. Back to her old flirtatious ways, Aurelia spends long nights at secret meetings, drinking with her school friends and setting her eyes on who could possibly advance her career, namely Rabastan, who, if judging by her eye seems to have the ear of their new leader.

The scent of FRESH GRASS packaged in a FITTED SUIT, he is what every former JOCK longs to become in the CORPORATE WORLD. He is BOYISH CHARM & the DIMPLES when he SMILES and sheer INNOCENCE masked with a FIRM HANDSHAKE. He belives in TRUE LOVE’S KISS & HAPPILY EVER AFTERS rather than opening his eyes to DANGER & DARKNESS.

— his story starts with ;

Ajax Davis has always been a strong character, though as he’s grown older, his once admirable trait has become a cause of concern for his family. The middle child of his family Ajax has always felt shielded by his older sister CORDELIA DAVIS [sibling] who has felt the majority of their parents expectations. The Davis family own Moribund’s, an exclusive club in Knockturn Alley, their grandparents had founded when they moved over from Ireland. Moribund’s was their trump card, placing them a head and shoulders above other pure-blood families that weren’t in the Sacred Twenty-Eight and ensuring those who were, respected them. For as long as Ajax could remember, his sister was groomed to take over the club. For Ajax, their plans were simple. Find himself a fine partner, preferably from the Twenty Eight to strengthen the Davis bloodline and produce an heir. Whilst Cordelia was expected to work to keep their family in credit, Ajax was to live off the money and strengthen them socially, which of course sounded fun to most young boys. His path in life was somewhat enviable, though Cordelia never spoke out of turn and did everything their family asked.

His younger sister ROSALINE DAVIS [sibling] had full ownership of being the difficult family member. Like Ajax, Rosaline was expected to marry well and become a socialite, but it was quite clear she wasn’t going to tow the line. His sister had great plans of being an artist and under blanket forts and in quiet moments between lessons she’d urge him to think bigger. She’d ask him where he wanted to go and what he wanted to see, but the truth of the matter was Ajax didn’t know. Like most young boys he loved Quidditch, a career in sports seemed dreamlike to him, but with his parents standing he knew they’d never go for him having a job at all let alone one in Quidditch. A departure from family tradition, Ajax was sorted into Ravenclaw, a blessing in disguise as he was away from the watchful eye of his older sister. Ajax quickly found his footing in Ravenclaw, befriending fellow Quidditch enthusiasts, TARAN POWELL [best friend], ZAFIR JAMEEL [best friend] and DANAE ALTON [best friend/potential love interest]. The group were known for being attractive and jock-like, with a light air of snobbery that only seemed dimmed due to a rival Ravenclaw group in their year who believed they ruled the roost.

KERVENS BORGIN [rival] was also part of the Ravenclaw team, though he spent all of his time with CAIUS BURKE [rival], RABASTAN LESTRANGE [rival] and XERXES ZABINI [rival], which irritated him. Although being friends with other houses was acceptable, as the future captain of the team, Ajax wanted some level of solidarity between the team and was conscious that Kerevens was the kind of person with loose lips that might leak their strategies. Danae in particular believed he was paranoid and that his suspicions were rooted in jealousy, due to a long standing candle he held for Kerevens close friend. AURELIA ROOKWOOD [partner] had been the object of Ajax’s affection for as long as he could remember. Aurelia was the most beautiful girl he had ever met and Ajax had accepted long ago she probably wouldn’t want anything to do with him. Although he thought incredibly highly of himself, Aurelia carried herself in such a way people had suspected she might have Veela blood. She made him nervous, uncomfortable and excited, the only person to ever throw him off his game and make him suspect that perhaps relationships and marriage did not have to be advantageous after all.

Despite being a half-blood, he was confident there was no better woman on earth than her and not even the most reasonable person could make him reconsider. His best friends of course hated her. Aurelia, like Kerevens, spent the majority of her time with the popular Slytherin group and regularly partook in putting other people down and the occasional wicked prank. Danae in particular despised her, which was incredibly hurtful for him. Entering into the world as a gentleman, Ajax was forced to hang up his broom and captain’s badge to join society, rubbing shoulders with all the people he didn’t care much for at school. His mother would regularly try and set him up with the likes of ANDROMEDA BLACK [acquaintance] and ROSALIE FLINT [acquaintance] but none of them quite seemed to stick. To get his mother off his back, he enjoyed a long courtship with ADRASTEIA GREENGRASS [former partner], whom he had known from school and did in fact find her to be quite pleasant. Adrasteia had big ideas of leaving society and starting her own bar, secretly mixing drinks for Moribund’s rival Eternelle's Elixir of Refreshment behind her family’s back. Over dinner they’d sit and discuss what their life could be like together.

Now his older sister Cordelia had run off, they’d be running Moribund’s together and Ajax could even maybe try out for a Quidditch team while he was still young and talented. He could have been happy with Adrasteia had he really truly tried, but Ajax found the siren’s call all too loud and sadly for them both he was powerless to ignore it. For Ajax falling in love with Aurelia was like diving into the ocean, tentative at first but then all in. They began dating under Adreasteia’s nose, sneaking around with one another in a scandalous sordid affair. Adrasteia soon became suspicious and called off their engagement. Her leaving was something of a relief to him, with his family already in tatters as it was. His sister had run off to follow her dreams and his father had run off to be with a twenty-five year old. Everyone in his family was finally trying to live their lives according to themselves and it was about time he did also. She convinced him to follow his passions, past the age of being able to play Quidditch he was best off working for The British and Irish League at the Ministry.

Ajax applied and secured his current position, managing all the paper work of the award and scholarship programs that are held in the association. Though it didn’t seem all that impressive, he was fairly senior for his first job and enjoyed working with hopeful players. His mother wasn’t happy he’d gotten a job and she was even less happy when his engagement to a beautiful girl from the sacred Twenty-Eight went up in smoke. Single with his own money Ajax decided to take the leap and go public with Aurelia. He was happy, his mother was outraged and his sister Rosaline was even less happy now that the family name was squarely on her shoulders. Ignoring his family wishes was liberating and despite alienating himself from his mother and most of his friends who thought he was an idiot, he was happy with Aurelia. But old habits die hard and Ajax isn’t positive she’s quit her old ways. A former flirtatious girl with a man’s heart always firm in her grip, Aurelia isn’t a stranger to coming home late and often she doesn’t smell of her own perfume. Ajax is suspicious that the love of his life might be straying from him, but little does he know - an affair is the least of his worries.

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE BENEVOLENT get what they deserve?” They are in THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX & OPEN to finding out.

— they walk through the world as ;

name → mary macdonald pronouns → they/he identification → nonbinary year of birth → september 1959 - september 1960 face claim → quintessa swindell blood status → muggle-born sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → bartender at the hopping pot in carkitt market future information → married to reginald cattermole, parent of maisie, ellie and alfred cattermole

— they are best described as ;

A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY among caterpillars, they are pockets of love heart sweets with the promise of ROMANCE lingering in sweet admirations. VANILLA PERFUME laced with GIGGLE WATER, they are the spring day dreams of floral patterns yet fresh blooms PLUCKED BARE from callous lovers. While broken loneliness masked by KINDHEARTED BRAVERY concealed ANXIOUS FEAR, harrowing torment lurks in the waters depths of their eyes haunting their troubled dreams.

— their story starts with ;

tw: blood

Born an only child to a young single mother, the pair lived comfortably in their home in Nottingham with only each other to hold. A summer romance had led to Mary, with news of a child their father left as quickly as Autumn came; slipping into the thick of night without a word of goodbye. Harboring questions of why, their curiosity was merely avoided accompanied with their mother’s face of displeasure. Adamant not to recall a man that had left her broken hearted. While Mary’s father had been absent, their mother had been anything but. Lifting them up and showing them the love held in the world if only they had the bravery to seek it. It was the determination to stand tall again after being hurt that counted the most. Trying despite the odds and having the courage of heart to get back up if you fall. They learnt that asking for help held its own bravery and was never something to be ashamed of and above all, to always offer your own hand to anyone who may need it. Their mother’s compassion was mirrored in Mary, finding that people would always be the best part of any given day.

With their mother working for a high end fashion company, Mary longed for the buzz of the city and thrived in the vibrancy. Capturing diversity through their vintage camera, they craved the feeling of belonging. Colourful folk from all walks of life filled their film reels, delighting in the fact that in London, anyone could be anything. Predominantly, their times in the city revolved around glamour. Accompanying their mother to offices, events and photoshoots, Mary was exposed to the complexities of the fashion industry and subsequently the lifestyle from a young age. Seeing slim models fixate on appearances, subconsciously Mary started mimicking behaviors. For an insecure youth, being surrounded by subjectively beautiful people made them over analytical of their own appearance. Combined with their mother’s need for high presentation at social affairs, it instilled deep rooted self scrutiny in an attempt to fit into a box of idealized beauty. Mary tried to be the personification of perfection. Behaving how they thought others wanted them to rather than being their own person. Vanity rooted from insecurity, painted nails and the perfect accessory acted as their shield to mask the uncertainty and loneliness behind.

Thankfully normality dashed when they started to receive their letters to Hogwarts. Overwhelmed with a sense of relief in knowing their differences didn’t make them odd. It made them unique, literal magic. In the wizarding world, Mary came to life. Sorted into Gryffindor, they found kinship in LILY EVANS [best friend], MARLENE MCKINNON [best friend] and DORCAS MEADOWES [best friend], friendships that would last a lifetime. Unlike their friends, Mary wasn’t the most outstanding student. Often in trouble gossiping to ORLAITH MACMILLAN [close friend/roommate] or from dozing off on a text book after dancing and drinking the night away at one of the Marauders famous parties.They were often passed off without a second thought by their peers, appearing unthreatening as they hummed muggle pop music in the corridors and doodling hearts on the corners of parchments with whichever boy had accidentally brushed their hand in the hallway that week. Captivated by romances, Mary dreamed in soft pinks, whispered moments and a summer breeze. While some considered them naive, for others Mary became a confidant entrusted with secrets; namely in Doe’s affection for Marlene. Offering kindness a soft hand squeeze in moments of dismay, a shoulder and hand full of love heart sweets to distract from heart ache.

Hopelessly romantic, they fell hard and often for people who never fully appreciated them. Taken advantage of more than once, tears stained their cheeks as they cried into their dormmate’s arms. Offers of hot chocolates from Lily, help finding someone new from Marlene and the threat to teach them a lesson from Doe, they would all mourn together. While Dorcas warned maybe finding themselves was a better solution, Mary passed off the comments deeming it in ridicule. Knowing the value of connections, there was never a scenario where Mary would miss a party; unwilling to squander their chance of meeting someone over a beverage. Though, there was one connection they wished they could rewind and cut; infamous Slytherin LARKIN MULCIBER [former partner/adversary]. Things didn’t start out as sinister as many like to believe. None of them had expected for Mary to fall as hard for Mulciber as they did. Cautious words came from all their best friends' lips the moment they’d alluded to their romance. Concern that a purist had bothered giving them the time of day when there were plenty of purebloods lined up to take their place. Still Mary fell hard. Convincing themselves they could fix whatever was broken in his heart, they saw him as a lost soul rather than Lucifer himself.

Swept by stolen moments, his insistence to keep their relationship a secret was prevalent so they obeyed. Besides Lily, Doe and Marlene, no one knew of their love affair. At least that’s what they had thought. One moment they were encapsulated in his arms, taken by that smirk until it had turned devilish. Lips trailed to their ear the only thing they remember is an uttered ‘Imperio’ before everything went dark. The next? Found screaming in the Black Lake with blood stained hands. Lily’s attempts to sooth them fell short. Spending the following weeks in the infirmary, too shaken and betrayed to deal with the twisted actions Mulicber has inflicted; fragments only coming back in nightmares. They’d been a fool. Shame followed them like a shadow as they caught the pity lingering in everyone’s eyes. Graduating, they longed for a fresh start and people that weren’t so familiar with their past. Still dealing with the trauma that was forced upon them, the idea of that torment becoming widespread was sickening. When ALBUS DUMBLEDORE [former headmaster/leader] came into the tavern to inform them about The Order Of The Phoenix and others involvement, Mary was extremely hesitant. Having seen first hand the horrors of the Unforgivable curses, the fear of being subjected to more torture was terrifying. But worse was standing ideally while others faced the same fate.

Entrusted to find a prophecy that would aid them in the war, together with SIRIUS BLACK [close friend] and PETER PETTIGREW [close friend] they fought in arm to fend off KERVENS BORGIN [rival] and CAIUS BURKE [rival] who too were in search of the prophecy. Victorious in the duel, it exhilarated Mary to make a feasible difference in a world crumbling. That was until the Summer Solstice of 1983. What had started as a wholesome event turned to riots as The Death Eaters announced their claim on the wizarding world leaving them petrified with Unforgivables tormenting citizens. While still wary and worried for their friends, Mary is trying to come to terms with having to face Larkin again in due course. Knowing he is a valued member among the Death Eaters, they want to bring karma as justifications of the pain he caused them. While they fear the repercussions it could hold, facing their past is inevitable and something they hope could stop Mulciber inflicting the same nightmares on others for good. All they need is one thing, proof. Assisted by double agent GORKEN POLAT [friend], Mary wants to trick the king of the underworld at his own games. If only they don’t get caught in the process.
