12 or 15 for Jackmon? 🥺

15. watching their oblivious s/o lovingly (Jackmon)

Montelimar Bloom was widely considered to be one of the smartest students in his year. He was always ahead of his classmates in just about every academic subject, having already memorized the Transfiguration alphabet at the beginning of his first year and perfectly sidestepping Chameleon Ghouls while still preparing for his OWLs. He often showcased his intelligence in other ways, though, and one of those types of intelligence was the emotional kind -- most notably, his own emotions. Monty always knew who he was and what he felt, and even in those times he had difficulty expressing what he felt, especially for other people, that didn't change that he still knew what it was he wanted to express.

And oh, and in this moment...he really, really wanted to tell Jackson Knightly that he was the most beautiful man he had ever seen, surrounded by and holding several worn old books on top of a tall ladder with his collar undone, his sleeves rolled up, and his hair lightly tousled.

"Isn't it marvelous, Bloom?!" Jackson called over to Monty excitedly, as he swung gleefully off the ladder with the one hand not holding the stack of books against his chest. "All these books, covered in dust -- likely unread since the owners of these portraits were still living -- !"

"Get down from there before you break your neck!" one of the female Headmistress portraits told Jackson anxiously.

"If he did break his neck, it'd serve him right," growled the portrait beside her, "sneaking into the Headmaster's office like some petty thief -- "

Jackson rather coolly blew the dust off the book he'd taken off the shelf right at the portrait, making the man inside sputter indignantly.

"Bleh -- ptoo! The nerve!" he blustered. "You'll regret this, you little churl! When Headmaster Black hears about this -- !"

"'When he hears about it?' Good sir, I'll look forward to the conversation," said Jackson with a suave smile. "Why, it's positively shameful that Professor Black treats his books so poorly. Take these histories, for instance -- I could see quite a few magical historians being appalled, by the amount of dust they've accumulated, especially when they could be so useful to their research. All these books of spells -- how helpful these could be to the staff, for their lessons -- or perhaps the Ministry, these look a touch dangerous for a school. Even these here -- they must be more personal to the Headmaster, for them to be as earmarked as they are. The Mudblood Menace -- Defanged: The Virtue of Vampire Hunting -- Power for Power's Sake: How to Get What You Want Without Working Too Hard...Professor Black really should be more open with his disgusting world views, rather than just hide them away on such grand old bookshelves..."

A lot of the portraits around the books looked visibly uncomfortable. One or two, however, including the portrait who'd expressed concern for Jackson's safety early, was having trouble biting back a smile, and so was Monty, despite himself.

"'Power for Power's Sake?'" the Ravenclaw recurred. "Well, I must say, that certainly explains Professor Black taking on the Headmaster position in the first place. I had trouble believing it was solely due to masochism."

Jackson laughed. "Indeed, my good Frenchman! I suppose when selling one's soul for power, being surrounded by bratty whiffets is the price one pays!"

Monty came over to help take the books from Jackson before he either dropped them or fell climbing down. With his other hand restored to him, Jackson was able to swing down leisurely, clapping Monty on the back before bustling across the bookshelf to the other side to look over the titles on the other side.

"Why, look here, Bloom! One of the Headmasters actually collected the works of Lord Byron!"

Monty couldn't help but smile fondly as Jackson immediately whipped out the book, blowing off some of the dust before eagerly, but tenderly opening it.

"'O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free'..." Jackson sighed through a bright, beaming smile. "Oh, how evil such an archivist is, to start with 'Corsair!' My breath is stolen away, and I've just opened the book."

Monty's eyes became softer and glassier as he silently watched Jackson. The Ravenclaw could feel his cheeks had gotten very warm and hoped beyond reason Jackson wouldn't take notice as he gently put the stack of books he'd taken from Jackson down on a side table.

"Lord Byron is a very talented poet," Monty said slowly.

"Isn't he?" said Jackson excitedly. "I knew you had good taste, my brilliant Frenchman."

Fortunately, to Monty's immense relief, the Slytherin was too distracted with gently parsing through the old book of poems to look up, leaving Monty to happily stand back and watch in peace as he continued to read passages aloud.

"Here we are! Here's my favorite -- 'So, we'll go no more a roving, so late into the night, though the heart be still as loving, and the moon be still as bright...'"

Relationship Prompts!

May I ask for some Jackson headcanons? It's mainly bc I miss him and so does Orla

Ohhhh, my sweet, gay Minister showman!! I really haven't done much for him lately -- I so need to fix that! If nothing else, Jacko and Lala’s friendship owns my heart!! 🥰💚

In the meantime, though...headcanons for my dear Jackson!

Resident charmer Jackson had his fair share of admirers at Hogwarts, many of them female. Jackson's first real crush, however, ended up being on his future husband and one true love, Montelimar "Monty" Bloom -- all of Jackson's friends can testify that Jackson is absolutely insufferable, when it comes to expressing that affection. Jackson would gush about Monty's talents, accomplishments, and best traits quite frequently even before he came out of the closet, and once Jackson and Monty became a thing, all gloves were off. Jackson never fails to verbally express his complete adoration and respect for his significant other, however much he still feels self-conscious showing physical affection in public. @cursebreakerfarrier

At school Jackson was a very popular Quidditch commentator. He had such a flair for it that several scouts from the Quidditch League actually approached him about going professional after school, but by then, Jackson had already grown up enough that he knew he would do far more good at the Ministry of Magic. Jackson's favorable impression with the Quidditch League, though, later served him very well as a member of Minister Venusia Crickerly's support staff, whenever he'd have to work with the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

Jackson's mother Cassandra -- not unlike Arthur Weasley -- finds a lot of charm in Muggle trinkets and baubles. One of her favorite things to collect are Muggle music boxes.

Jackson absolutely loathes American-style hot dogs. Even as Minister, he silently refused to indulge in any even when offered one at a meeting with the MACUSA's president, though of course he merely feigned lack of hunger and smiled and charmed his way through the entire press conference to try to draw attention away from his disdain for the food being served.

Jackson never got to meet Gellert Grindelwald in person, but he did actually receive a note from Grindelwald at one point during the war against him, "appealing" to Jackson that they were more alike than he thought -- that the world had both done them wrong, and they could remake the world anew much more easily if they worked together, rather than against each other. Grindwelwald even ended the note by cheekily inviting Jackson to attend his upcoming rally in Paris. Jackson was so offended by the message that he strode across the sitting room to the fireplace, chucked the letter in the roaring fire, and then settled himself down into his husband Montelimar's lap so he could cuddle with him for the next hour.

After Jackson was returned home to his mother after being kidnapped by his father, his maternal grandfather Everard took a very strong liking to Jackson. Being a Slytherin himself, Everard passed down an old class ring of his emblazoned with the Slytherin serpent down to Jackson, as both a graduation gift and a blessing of his relationship with Monty. Everard also thinks very highly of Jackson's best friend, Adelia Selwyn -- he solely credits her for Jackson being rescued from his Muggle conman father and returned to his family, which is a debt he thinks will never be fully repaid. @thatravenpuffwitch

Even if Jackson is very charming and by and large dislikes violence, that doesn't mean he can't be kind of immature, when it comes to dealing with fights. He will absolutely sass someone's face off or give them a good verbal lashing, even if they're about ready to blast a wall open, whether out of flat-out amusement or just to "stick it" to them. This is especially true if the person is someone Jackson already doesn't like -- it doesn't matter if that person is twice Jackson's size with muscles the size of melons; Jackson's going to dance around them taunting them anyway, just to rile them up. There have been more than a few times where either husband Monty has had to play knight in shining armor and come to Jackson's rescue or friend Orla Atkinson has had to swoop in to kick the person's arse before they murder Jackson in cold blood. @nightmaresart

Jackson's first familiar was a black cat named Lenore, named after the poem by one of his favorite authors, Edgar Allen Poe. After Lenore died, Jackson was so utterly heartbroken that a week or so later, Adelia surprised him with a brand-new, bright-white kitten, who Jackson named Odo. Odo is a male version of the name "Odette," the main character from the ballet Swan Lake.

As Minister, Jackson developed a very good relationship with the French Ministry of Magic, thanks in part to his knowledge of French through his husband Monty and in part to his overall charm and charisma. The French Ministry was incredibly disappointed by Jackson's successor, Hector Fawley, who they considered both far less talented and far more boring.

One of Jackson's happiest memories working for the Ministry was being able to visit the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary and actually being able to handle and feed some of their residents. Jackson was even able to ride one of them -- a one-eyed Antipodean Opal Eye there called Lukas -- much to his ever-lasting glee. He even sent a picture of himself with the dragon in question to his old school friend Siobhan Llewellyn, just to share how over the moon he was about finally being able to ride a dragon. @kc-and-co

Jackson loves spoiling his friends with gifts, but he also will sometimes express his generous nature in softer ways, such as magically mending some of Orla's injuries after a fight or offering to pin up Siobhan's hair before she enters a formal school event. He's particularly prone to fixing his male friends' ascots or collars -- when he does it with his husband Monty, the gesture is always rather sexually charged, since Jackson often can't help himself from whispering about how much he can look forward to helping Monty "loosen up" later.

After Jackson's death, a collection of the poetry he wrote is found in his husband Monty's old file cabinet. That collection of poetry is eventually reprinted and published post-mortem, under the title of one of Jackson's earliest poems -- Forever in Bloom.

(Outdated) Hogwarts Legacy MC: Daniel Roy “Danny” Gibson

Hello everyone, it’s Cato! I worked all throughout the past week on the profile for my new Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy MC, Daniel! You can call him Danny! I did my best to flesh him out as much as I could, so I hope you all enjoy and have fun reading this as much as I did writing it! I’d like to thank my amazing friends @hphm-rhia and @nightrhea-hphm for their great help coming up with ideas and supporting me as I put this together! I can never be more grateful!

The amazing drawing of Danny below was done by the awesome @nightrhea-hphm! (Again, thank you so much!)

IDENTITY

Name: Daniel Roy Gibson

Gender: Male

Age: Varies depending on the headcanon

Birth Date: March 12, 1878 (Canon birthdate, year depends on the headcanon)

Myer Briggs Personality Type: INTJ - The Architect

THE MAGE

Wand: 11 3/4′’, Cedar, Unicorn hair, Solid

Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them.

Animagus: TBD

Misc Magical Abilities: (Legilimen, Seer, Parselmouth, Obscurial, ect)

TBD

Boggart Form: His brother either dead or a dark wizard

Riddikulus Form: Danny’s father sitting on a stool, wearing a dunce cap

Amortentia: (What do they smell like?)

Wildflowers, mountain air and pine trees

Amortentia: (What do they smell?)

Sweet, warm tea, maple syrup and parchment

Patronus: Wolf

Patronus Memory:

As a result of having a very rough early childhood facing abuse from his father and having to be the man of the house, Danny had very little free time. He didn’t socialize much with other kids his age as he and his brother found some of them weird with their boasts about being pure-blood. As such, he doesn’t have many significant happy memories until he enters Hogwarts. Before this, the best Danny had was spending his free time playing with his brother in the woods around their home in West Virginia.

Mirror of Erised:

Younger: His father is still a normal, healthy man as he was when he first became a Unspeakable. Phil is a sweet, funny and caring dad who likes to tell Daniel and his brother all about the cool stuff he works on at the Department of Mysteries. The family lives together and happy without any cares.

Older: Daniel and his brother are together as students at Hogwarts. He doesn’t mind if they were in different houses; he just wants to be able to be close to him and help him out if he gets into any trouble. They run up to each other and immediately get into a big bear hug, both in tears and expressing how much they missed each other, and that they will never leave each other’s side again.

Specialized/Favourite Spells:

Fashion:

Danny often wore a button-up shirt with suspenders, trousers and boots before he became a teenager. When he did chores, he rolled up his sleeves. As a teen and adult, when not in his robes, or out on the street, a navy blue vest/waistcoat was usually part of Danny’s ensemble.

RELATIONSHIPS

Brother: Casey Wendell Gibson

He is two years younger than Danny who is very protective of him. When their father became more abusive, Casey was beaten more often, and his older brother often had to step in to shield him, taking blows that were meant for the younger boy. He was adopted by an American family after Rue divorced her husband because she was only capable of raising one child on her own. Casey as a result went to Ilvermorny while Daniel studied at Hogwarts, living in England with Rue. Even though nothing could done about it, Danny still was very worried for Casey, as he went to a school with a very different culture, rules, faculty and group of friends. Their relationship grew more distant even though they never meant it, and this caused much stress for both brothers.

Misc Siblings: TBD

Father: John Philip “Phil” Gibson

An Unspeakable working for the MACUSA’s Department of Mysteries, Phil was originally a healthy, normal man when he started working there. However, the bizarre nature of the research he helped conduct fueled a hot temper that was aggravated by an increased consumption of alcohol in order to cope with the burdening stress of work. His mental health gradually worsened which led to a deteriorated relationship with his family. This was marked by Phil becoming more abusive toward his wife and two sons. Danny took the responsibility of becoming the man of the house as there were many times Phil mysteriously disappeared, only returning home without any explanation and never shedding any light on why since he was drunk. He frequently argued with and yelled at his wife, and beat his sons for the smallest mistakes, Many times Danny had to take his heat in order to protect his little brother Casey, who was more beaten more often by Phil. When his wife and children left the home, Phil lived alone, continuing his work as an Unspeakable. He eventually snapped and murdered one of his colleagues on the job, being sentenced to death for his crime. Phil passed out and died in his cell while awaiting execution.

Mother: Prudence Charlotte “Rue” Gibson (neé Goldfleece)

Prudence, more commonly known as “Rue,” was a diligent and hardworking lady born in Britain who lived in America; both of her parents were British. She was a Gryffindor in Hogwarts who almost ended up in Hufflepuff. Rue was a homemaker and potioneer who never favored either of her sons and treated them equally. She became more involved in the temperance movement after she became suspicious that her husband’s drinking problem was causing him to be more abusive and put strain on the family. Rue solely blamed this on Phil’s habits because she had no idea he was an Unspeakable; they were strictly forbidden from disclosing details about their work, even to their own family. She wanted to divorce with Phil, however it moved along very slowly because he was out of the house most of the time, and when he was home, he was intoxicated or otherwise unresponsive when Rue tried to progress with the divorce. After they split up, Rue moved with Danny back to England, while her younger son was adopted by an American family because she could only handle raising one child on her own. Rue chose to move to England as she felt the country would be a better and safer environment for her son to grow up in as he made it through his education at Hogwarts.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Pre Hogwarts:

Daniel Roy “Danny” Gibson was born on March 15, 1878 to John and Prudence Gibson. His brother Casey came almost two years later on Feburary 13, 1880. They were very close and spent more time with each other than with the neighbors, even before their dad “Phil” went haywire. Growing up in the mountains of West Virginia, the boys were always in touch with nature and preferred the peace and quiet of the woods rather than the company of the other kids, who for some reason they saw as “rather rowdy and too wild” for their own good. Something about how they all boasted they were pure-bloods and better than the “no-good No-majs.” They seemed to be obsessed about it and talked of nothing but that, while Danny and Casey wisely stayed out of their banter.

When Danny was around 8 years old, his father for some reason became less of the cheerful, funny dad he used to be, and more of a brute. He only got more worse, and the shouts and yells turned into whiplashes and beatings. Phil started drinking more and his two sons found themselves always facing his wrath even when they never did anything to upset him. Danny started taking blows meant for his younger brother in order to protect Casey, and their mother “Rue” got more on Phil’s case. They argued when he was sober, and he always denied harming the kids, even though Rue many times caught him drunk and laying about when he was supposed to be helping out. After many times trying to get to Phil, Rue made her oldest Danny the new man of the house, and started proceedings to divorce with Phil.

Meanwhile, Danny kept busy with housework a fully adult human would’ve been more capable of handling. The heavy lifting, repairs and other grown-up chores were very intensive and back-breaking for the poor boy. Not only that, he also had to help Rue look after Casey and shield him from Phil’s attacks. Danny continued to find sanctuary with his brother in the mountain woods when he wasn’t busy around the house or dealing with his abusive father. Their mum was making very little progress with Phil; he always seemed uncooperative and his speech was full of unintelligible slurs. She suspected her husband’s drinking was the culprit and became involved in temperance marches and rallies to ban the brewing and sale of alcohol.

Phil’s beatings only got worse, and his rambles were not showing any signs of slowing down. The divorce took two years to finalize, with the last straw being a little showdown between Phil and Danny. The boy caught his dad again beating his little brother as usual, but this time it was much more severe. Daniel had finally had it putting up with his dad’s abuse. He grabbed a skillet and got Phil’s attention away from Casey. Extensive drinking, overwhelming work and burnout from beating his sons had done their toll on Phil’s body, leaving him a weak fighter. The brawl ended with him knocked out cold. Danny surely had thought he had killed Phil, only until Casey proved that the father was still breathing and alive. By the time he woke up, he was all alone. Rue and her two sons were gone, and she was more than happy to no longer be married to Phil.

Knowing she could only handle raising one child on her own, Rue very reluctantly allowed a family she knew she could trust to adopt Casey. She and Danny then boarded a big steamship bound for England. She felt that her son would have a better and happier late childhood living a country with less strict laws then America, as at the time, the Rappaport’s Law still dominated all aspects of life there. The potential low diversity of children Danny’s age as a result of wizard-muggle relationships being outlawed, and the requirement to be a certain age (17) plus owning permit to have a wand outside of school were major influences on Rue’s choice. She was concerned that if her son stayed in America, he’d eventually be killed, without a means to defend himself. This possibility was also reinforced by the strong negative stigma No-majs at the time had against wizards - they were very hostile to them and things often turned violent when the two groups interacted.

Mother and son moved into their new home in the town of Exeter within the county of Devon, England in November 1888. Most of Rue’s relatives lived in Great Britain, their manor being in neighboring Somerset. With Danny going to Hogwarts the following year, they helped he and Rue adjust to their new surroundings and purchase supplies at Diagon Alley for school. Danny got his acceptance letter following his eleventh birthday. On August 31, 1889, he and his mum took a muggle steam train to London. He caught the Hogwarts Express right on time at King’s Cross after spending the night at a local inn. Consumed by both tears and happiness, Rue waved goodbye to her son as the train got underway, Danny bound to begin his first year.

1st Year: TBD

2nd Year:

Danny exchanges letters with his mum over the year about a new baby she is having. Eventually, she tells him he has a sister. He was excited to meet her once he returns home from Hogwarts over the summer.

3rd Year: TBD

4th Year: TBD

5th Year: TBD

6th Year: TBD

7th Year: TBD

Adulthood: TBD

Old Age & Death: TBD

PERSONALITY

Danny at first appears to be a serious, stern individual who seems uninterested and apathetic in the affairs of others, not someone you’d enjoy hanging out with. However in reality, he is a rather reserved and guarded boy who has trouble interacting with others and forming bonds because of his childhood abuse and trauma and having to be the main one to support his family at such a young age. Danny shields his emotions and memories behind his demeanor, which may at times seem cold, when really, it is not.

Once you earn his trust, you find out that Danny is at heart, a sweet and gentle soul who cares deeply about his friends. He keeps a group of close friends that he’d give his life to protect, and slowly opens up as he matures. Daniel discovers many new hobbies along the way, such as a love for nature and magical creatures, which is where his soft and caring side shines outside the company of his friends.

At times though, even in the company of his friends, Danny is quiet, and cries a lot sometimes in private, hesitant to speak about what bothers him. He really misses his brother since he had to stay in America and attend Ilvermorny on his own. He worries about him a lot, even though there is nothing Danny can do, nor can his mother (Owls can’t fly across the Atlantic.). After much persistence by his friends and a howler from his mom, he finally confides to them that he really misses his brother.

He is fiercely loyal and protective of those he cares about, and worries about how well he is good in a fight due to how many times he has had to take blows from his father trying to protect his little brother. Danny is proficient at dueling, but he eventually also came to have a good grasp of physical combat thanks to his rough childhood.

Daniel has a strong sense of justice and is against any form of alcohol and other controlled substances, both wizarding and magical due his father’s drinking and his mother’s teachings, her being involved in the temperance movement. Although he is pure-blood and inside, proud of it, he does not stand for any kind of racial injustice against muggle-borns and other minorities such as werewolves and squibs. Due to his imposing physique and serious demeanor, Daniel can at times seem scary and rude when he doesn’t mean it, driving off other people even though there is nothing wrong with him, nor did he do anything bad.

Being the man of the house due to the incompetence of his father, Daniel grew to be rather intelligent and perceptive as he learned the skills necessary to effectively look after the household and his little brother. Although he never really had much experiences to become adept socially early on, being too busy taking care of family to spend time with kids his age, Danny in fact became more compassionate and empathetic, as his experiences dealing with his bad father and the strain it put on him, Casey and his mother allowed him to relate to people who underwent similar hardships in their lives.

MISC

His grandfather, Reginald Gibson was a pioneer on the Oregon Trail during the 1840s. He was a pure-blood wizard, and kept his identity a secret from his companions during the trek west. During most of the 19th century, many wizards like Reginald joined the No-maj settlers on their migration west from the east coast of the United Sates to escape the MACUSA’s segregation laws. Along the way, Reginald fell in love with a Native American guide, who happened to be a pure-blood witch as well. They both told each other they were wizards when they confessed their feelings for each other, and later married after settling down.

Danny is the great-uncle of Cato Reese on his mother’s side of the family. Casey, Daniel’s brother, was the grandfather of Sheila Windberth, the mother of Cato.

He is affectionately nicknamed “Danny” by his friends and family, while he goes by “Dan” in a professional setting by those who know him.

Danny discovered a natural aptitude for the piano only when his uncle and aunt on Rue’s side of the family invited him to play for their Christmas party at their manor in December 1888. Casey shared this with his brother. This talent ran through the family, all the way down to Cato’s generation, which was also passed down to his son.

At Hogwarts, he found himself out to be a rather skilled chef. Danny often volunteered in the kitchens, preferring frying or baking, and he was good with a skillet. He understood the merits of it not only as a cooking utensil, but as a weapon for self-defense as well!

Danny grew some sympathy for house-elves while working in the kitchens as a result of his childhood trauma. As much as he’d wanted to speak and advocate for their rights, the nature of wizarding society at the time meant that he only could keep it as a secret only among him and his closest friends.

(Author’s note: I’m sorry if this may seem long, or if information in this contradicts with the details of others’ MCs. Again, the years shown are not set in stone; they just give you an idea of the general time period Danny lives in. We know Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 19th century, however the actual years the game takes place in have yet to be announced.)
