⧼ sean teale, cis man, he/him / achilles come down by gang of youths + viktor - latin origin meaning 'champion' you were named with the intention that no matter what the situation you're in you'll always come out on top. it's a heavy burden to place on someone's shoulder, and you felt the weight at a very young age. lucky for you you've always shown promise and talent. the sky blessed you with the innate ability to fly across it with ease, to do what many non-magical men can only dream of. it's a blessing and you've taken it with stride. it fills you in ways nothing else seems to do. with a broom and golden in your hand you've become victorious; family - a sacred bond. the reason you exist and the collection of hands that molded you into the man you are now. in an environment where the pull of darkness is like a siren song they are the reason you have not been led astray. the past, the people you've lost have become the guiding light in your life. friends - the family you make. the reason you know that sometimes some bonds are just as strong as the pull of the blood coursing through your veins. blood you would readily spill if those bonds were ever endangered. fiercely loyal to a fault. you'd put your life on the line for anyone that earned a spot within your heart; love - old english, german, latin or ancient greek. to love is to care. filial, platonic or romantic. the latter... for you? unknown. more elusive than a golden snitch. it is something you dream about, to have what so many before you were able to obtain. the path of a victor is lonely it seems. ⧽ ━━ hey, isn’t that VIKTOR KRUM? i read a daily prophet article on them, once ; the THIRTY TWO year old pure blood WIZARD is a DURMSTRANG INSTITUTE alumnus who has gone on to be a WORLD CLASS QUIDDITCH PLAYER & TEMPORARY HOGWARTS CO-COACH. i’ve heard they can be quite LOYAL & HONORABLE, but i don’t know… they came off very CLOSED OFF & SHORT TEMPERED in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isn’t it?

he's an only child and it shows. his parents ( aleksander and stefania krum ) spoiled him quite a bit, but that love also came with very high expectations for viktor. their affection seemed to be a little bit transactional, though i don't believe they did it intentionally and had his best interest at hand... but he realized at a young age that if he got good grades then soon after he would get a new broom, or the toys he'd been eyeing at the store on their last outing. it was sort of a 'win-win' situation but also an incredibly heavy burden. though it was also partially self-imposed. ( he was a little bit too proud to not strive to be the best in everything he was involved in )

he's very much an example of 'only child syndrome' with certain traits ( most of them not good ) though mainly the difficulty to socialize, the inability to share, the perfectionism, introversion, sensitivity to criticism, and as he grew up... the loneliness. which honestly didn't get any better once he started to show some real talent for quidditch, but it seemed like besides his teammates everyone only wanted to get close to him for their five seconds of fame and he honestly hated that.

the fact that he seemed to be a bit of an outlier in durmstrang, a dark arts institute with igor karkaroff as a headmaster during his schooling, also didn't make things any easier. the people he actually trusted were very few, he was able to count them with one hand. his short temper made him very ... use fists first, ask questions later ... so you know, not the best way to make meaningful connections !

then his last year came and we all know how that turned out, but basically: visiting hogwarts ( good ), meeting hermione ( very good ), befriending harry ( also very good ), being selected for the triwizard tournament ( not in his plans but why not ? new experiences and all ), being manipulated like a puppet with the imperius curse by a death eater, forced to torture cedric diggory with the cruciatus curse and then getting stunned and disqualified ? ( 0 / 10 quite frankly very awful, would NOT recommend, still have nightmares about it ).

after that i like to imagine he graduated and started trying to live his best life as a quidditch player then fast forward to fleur's wedding ... someone he ✨ trauma bonded ✨ and kept in contact with ... getting ambushed and attacked by even more death eaters ? click here for his reaction !

feeling that attack a little bit too personal he decided to stay in britain and help the order of the phoenix as much as he could. i don't think he was heavily involved in the second wizarding war, not in the front lines and definitely not nearly as much as he would have wanted to be. but he did provide aid, and a safe heaven to those that needed to get out of britain and had gotten hurt somehow. ( he was a pretty good healer, almost had to be with how accident prone quidditch players are ) but he did his best to help as much as possible. i have more Thoughts here and Possibilities but i still need to unravel them some more. him not being heavily involved also meant he didn't find out about many things until way after the fact ( mainly harry's "death" ) he only stayed until the funeral and then promptly went back to bulgaria to try to keep on living despite everything that happened.

back in bulgaria... home doesn't feel like home anymore. so he dives into his passion full time, not being one too in tune with his emotions he decides to do his utmost to ignore and move on. and it does work for a few years at least, but the universe has a funny way of repeating events and he gets word of what's happening again. and so he takes a "break" from his quidditch career and contacts professor mcgonagall for a position as a temporary co-coach... though his intention is more being involved, actually helping this time and hopefully protecting those he holds dear.

aaaaand... this is where we are now ♡

SUMMARY

secondborn daughter and third child to chang yongjian and zhu xiang. her father is an author, he makes the family fortunes with his books about the different magical creatures found in each continent. her mother is a homemaker, forever doting on all three of her children. her mother and father are deeply in love, and it’s all chloe ever wants in life.

the spoiled youngest child, she’s doted on by her siblings. she wants to play quidditch? her brother drops everything to teach her. she wants to see the fairies that lounge in the garden? her sister knows the perfect spot to find them. she’s heartbroken when they go to hogwarts without her.

she’s kěyíng to her parents, chloe to her siblings, cho to the rest of the world. it’s her first year in hogwarts and she’s sorted into ravenclaw, she feels kind of upset as neither of her siblings are in the same house as her. still, she’s cho, her mother always says she could make a friend in an empty room. and make friends she does. she finds it easy to collect friends and acquaintances, she’s smart, very pretty and kind ( and it also helps that her brother has taught her a couple of tricks on the train on the way to school ). nobody means as much as marietta, her very best friend.

her first few years are majorly uneventful; she performs well in all of her classes, joins the quidditch team as the seeker and even develops a crush on a boy called cedric diggory when they have to share a telescope in astronomy in third year. she rolls her eyes and flicks her hair haughtily when her group of ravenclaw girls ask, but late at night, with her and marietta lounging on her bed, curtains drawn and silencing charm up she admits it. he’s the one, i’ll have him if it’s the last thing i do.

fourth year is when she meets harry potter. she can tell straight away he likes her, he has that look on his face that all the boys get when she smiles at them. he’s cute, but young, and she still has her sights on cedric.

cedric and cho get together when they meet up at the quidditch world cup. her fifth year is going to be the best of her life. they go to the yule ball together and she is the thing he will miss most. what could possibly go wrong?

harry potter appears with her cedric’s body, he’s lifeless and staring and she breaks down right there on the quidditch stands. she’s given a draught of peace and something to sedate her and she spends four days crying in her bed with the curtains drawn. cedric’s family give her some of their photos and their letters back. she can’t bring herself to look.

it’s her fifth year and cho’s family tell her to be careful this year, something is happening, everything is changing. almost all of her friends abandon her, she’s no longer the fun-loving, happy cho that they knew last year. marietta is the only friend that stands beside her, and she couldn’t be more grateful. still, she joins dumbledore's army with absolutely no second thoughts. it’s what cedric would do. she drags marietta along with her, she knows marietta doesn’t want to but she can’t face it alone. she’s just not brave enough.

sneak appears on marietta’s face, and no matter how upset she is with her, she cannot bring herself to kick her while she is down. it’s her turn to be a good friend. she spends the night while marietta is in the hospital wing pouring through books, searching for a way to reverse it. her budding romance with harry is destroyed when he defends hermione granger, and she’s so full of rage and upset she could scream.

she spends her seventh and final year waiting for it to be over, she’s dating michael corner for a while until she leaves him for someone else. and someone else after that, and someone else after that. she has come to hate hogwarts over the last few years. it has brought her nothing but sadness. so when she leaves she doesn’t look back, though she keeps the da coin in her pocket, just in case.

she’s working at the ministry in the archives. it’s interesting, keeps her mind busy, and stops her thinking about the nightmare that is going on around her. she’s the only one left one night when she feels the coin burn. and she’s apparating into the hog's head before she can think twice.

the battle goes to shit and her ex is dead. 2 dead romantic interests? she’s somewhat of a black widow. her life goes on. until bellatrix lestrange comes back. and then she’s pulled into the da again because it’s the right thing to do. because cedric would do it. harry would too.

she feels awful for dragging marietta back in again, but she doesn’t know who else she could turn to. it works out for the best. then she hears a prophecy. and she’s terrified and anxious and feels like she’s constantly on edge. but she’ll keep going. because it’s the right thing to do.

STATS / PINTEREST.

born as the youngest in a set of twins, lainey was separated from her sister at birth and surrendered to an orphanage, where she would eventually be adopted by the talkalot family. she would never be reunited with her twin, but that didn’t seem to bother her much. she enjoyed having the spotlight all to herself throughout childhood — even if it meant she had to steal it from her adoptive siblings.

though they could be crafty and cunning, when meeting the sorting hat they were undoubtedly a ravenclaw. their creativity and cleverness was unparalleled and made them a perfect fit.

she was only a first year whenever the war came to an end, so she didn’t have to endure the trauma most other students did and spent most of her time at hogwarts helping rebuild and focusing on her classes.

particularly skilled in wandless / nonverbal magic, they were placed on probation multiple times and nearly expelled once for their antics which had remained harmless but were still deemed unnecessary and a potential threat to others.

it wasn’t until she graduated that things began to pick up for lainey; she was accepted into the wizarding academy of the dramatic arts, where she began studying theatre with a focus on stage management (as she does have some control issues.) and broadening her horizons while new conflicts began brewing on the home front.

they haven’t chosen a side in the battle yet, though in their heart they know that if they must — they’ll do whatever it takes to protect the people that are closest to them.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 !

her favorite class was always potions, which she studied at N.E.W.T. level. she briefly considered a career in the subject before deciding on dramatic arts instead, where she felt she better fit in

you can still catch them cooking flawless remedies in a cauldron at their loft in diagon alley, though

if she hadn’t chosen stage management, she would’ve embarked into the muggle world and studied film to become a director instead

they carry a vintage super 8 with them wherever they go, interviewing people they find interesting, both wix and non-wix alike

her odd-eyed white cat ‘psyche’ that she chose at the beginning of her schooling is often let out of the house to find ingredients for potions. sometimes she just brings back rats instead

𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 :

statistics

𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 : ( trigger warnings for suicide mention )

marietta edgecombe is born to isolde edgecombe & anthony mei on august 28th, 1995. her mother is a pureblooded junior wizengamot member who had secured her position through much blood, sweat & tears and her father is a muggleborn historian who spent much of his time lost within the stacks of the ministry archive room. at the time, they are madly in love, but crucially, unmarried - isolde’s parents insist that marietta’s surname be registered as edgecombe, and later, when anthony finally pops the question & the two are married, he also adopts it.

her earliest years set a precedent that she will never quite manage to change. marietta is a daddy’s girl, through and through, and isolde resents it ; she was the one who had carried her for nine months, done all of the gruelling night feeds, had taken the maternity leave required and felt it a sacrifice of her crucial career building time, and still, marietta lit up the brightest in anthony’s presence. he tries to explain that children are fickle and marietta only seems as if she loves him more because she doesn’t get to see him as much as she does her mother, but isolde takes it to heart as a personal slight.

when marietta, at six years of age, announces to her father that she wants to be a ballerina, isolde senses an opportunity to endear herself all the more to her daughter. as a child, she had been put through piano lessons that she insists she learned to love through perseverence. here is her chance to bond with their daughter, to show her unwavering support, lift her up when she falters and teach her the importance of being tireless in the pursuit of greatness. for a few, wonderous years, they are bonded at the hip. anthony doesn’t have the same skilled fingers when it comes to delicate updos ; he can’t teach marietta how to apply the makeup she starts wearing before she ever hits double digits ; doesn’t cry at the end of the recital, though he never fails to applaud with all his heart. isolde delights in finally being the ‘favorite’ parent, and marietta is too caught up in the early wonderment of her hobby to notice that she and her father are drifting apart.

beyond early stardom, marietta has a fairly routine gifted kid upbringing. she’s smart enough that she gets good grades at her muggle primary school fairly consistently, and these become expected of her all the time ; back then, that’s an easy mark to hit. she’s comfortable in the knowledge of being loved by both her parents and a huge source of pride for them, but everyone with half a brain can sense where this is going - the pressure on her shoulders to live up to their already set expectations grows the older that she gets, and marietta never quite figures out how to carry that burden. she wants to be perfect, and she never learns the fact that people very rarely are.

she gets bored of ballet the summer before she’s set to attend hogwarts and asks whether she can trade her hobby for something different ; self defense classes, maybe ? my friend’s are all going- isolde refuses to allow it, and marietta bites her tongue as she receives the first of many speeches about how quitters never prosper.

she’s sorted into ravenclaw on her first night at hogwarts, and while her mother sings her praises and sends her very own ravenclaw scarf by owl the very next day, she doesn’t share her excitement. in fact, for a while, marietta would’ve given anything to have been able to join the hufflepuff table her father always spoke so highly of. she’s growing up, now, away from the environment she had come to know so well, and for the first time marietta is actually aware of the cross that she’s carrying - isolde sees herself in her, and marietta is no longer confident in her ability to live up to that point of view.

things get easier when she meets cho, the truest of her inner house friends. at the very least, she no longer wishes to be anywhere but where she is, which is definitely a step in the right direction. for a long time, marietta’s life at hogwarts is uneventful - she’s not top of her class but she manages to maintain good enough grades to earn passing praise, and though each summer she returns home and begs to quit ballet, she’s never given permission. slowly, marietta learns to resent her mother, and isolde is far from unaware to the attitude that she begins to direct towards her, which curiously seems reserved to her. anthony never earns the same ire, and as these stories go, it soon started to feel as if mother & daughter had gone to war with one another, and no one really knew when either was going to wave the white flag.

cedric diggory is killed during the final task of the triwizard tournament, and marietta has more to contend with than just being a good friend to cho, now grieving a loss she can’t quite fathom. the summer before her sixth year, isolde sits her down and informs her that there are going to be some changes at hogwarts, this year. the ministry of magic are tightening the reins, she’s told, and it’s important to trust in them. she’s one of the few people actually prepared for professor umbridge, but then again ... is there a way to properly prepare yourself for a woman like her ?

cautioned against making waves with the new inquisitor lest it cause trouble for isolde herself as a senior wizengamot member, marietta is not exactly a willing participant with dumbledore’s army. she agrees to attend the first meeting with cho because no one else does, and she wants to be a supportive friend. she’s reluctant to sign her name on hermione granger’s scroll of parchment, but she still does it. she never actually wants to sneak around and find more and more convoluted ways to get to the room of requirement, but she still does that, too. meanwhile, umbridge is terrorising the school and marietta’s mother sends weekly letters warning her not to get involved in whatever is going on. her betrayal of the da was not an overnight decision. it was something that was bubbling underneath the surface for a while - fear of getting into trouble and ruining her perfect record, fear of her mother losing her job if it came out that she had been running with harry potter, fear of losing cho if she decided to stop showing up to meetings. she was making herself sick with worry, and when umbridge began threatening the use of veritaserum, marietta thought she was doing the right thing by going to her before she comes knocking for her. obviously, she’s wrong.

in a single night, marietta ruins her own life. sneak rises across her cheeks in huge, red boils, and under the guise of saving her from umbridge manhandling her, kingsley shacklebolt manages to perform a small but still incredibly invasive memory charm on her - to stop her from revealing more of dumbledore’s army, he removes her more shining memories of the group, and later, when marietta is lying in the hospital wing while madam pomfrey and her mother fuss over her ruined face, she struggles to recall what was so good about the da that she kept going back there at all. it’s a difficult position to be in, and it makes her even MORE resentful.

that summer, marietta and her mother come to worse blows than ever before. isolde can barely stand to look at her, and marietta hates her for it ; if nothing else, she knows that it’s her fault that she ended up in this position. she’s the one that told her not to make trouble. she’s the one that terrified her about the idea of umbridge robbing her of her job, and most damning, she’s the one who raised her to be the way she is in the first place. marietta can’t help but feel that maybe if her voice hadn’t been inside of her head all these years, things would’ve turned out differently.

marietta edgecombe, well liked by most within her house before now, vaguely popular by virtue of who she hung out with alone, returns for her seventh year a social pariah. she’s on the outs, and no one wants to be seen with her no matter how thick she applies her foundation. cho is the only one who actually forgives her, and marietta can’t understand why no one else will even hear her out - what happened wasn’t fair, hermione granger’s scroll of parchment was a dirty sort of trick, but nobody seems to agree. after weeks of trying to salvage something for herself, she gives up, though it’s not done happily. the last few months she spends at school are miserable and lonely, and that sets the tone for the next few years.

she exits hogwarts, and the war is heating up. everybody knows it. marietta continues on to st mungo’s, where she begins training as a healer on the spell damage ward, but though she resolves to keep her head down as voldemort and his followers begin to grow more and more active, her parents don’t have the same luxury. the ministry coup forces her father to fake his status, managed only with thanks to a neighbour who agrees to claim him as a cousin, and this keeps him safe from what’s happening to other muggleborns - but it puts isolde in the position of not being able to make waves. anthony wants to go on the run, correctly deducing that he’ll never actually be safe, but she refuses to leave the wizengamot now that she has moved all the further up their ranks ( at the cost of amelia bones’ life ). she’s helping the ministry round up other wix and actively working beneath voldemort and his shadow cabinet, and though marietta and her father understand that this is olsde’s you have to do what you have to do to survive, they are also keenly aware that she NEVER even considered the alternative, never even tried to do any good with her position of power before giving up, entirely.

marietta doesn’t return to hogwarts for the battle ; the coin that she has kept despite herself burns at the back of the drawer she tossed it in while she works straight through the end of a sixteen hour shift and keeps going. everyone outside of the school knows what’s happening, and everyone knows that the winners of the battle dictate how the rest of their lives will proceed - every radio station in the hospital is tuned to the wwn and potterwatch, healers and patients alike listening with bated breath for that first bit of news that is beaten to the punch by the coworkers who had left to help during the armistice beginning to transport the injured onto the wards, one by one. the war is won. marietta picks up bits and pieces from the people she bustles around and fusses over : harry potter is dead. the da killed lord voldemort. the weasley’s lost a brother- no, not ron, one of the ones with the fireworks, i think, i don’t know which. headmaster snape disappeared. headmaster snape was killed, too. he mightn’t have been a villain after all ? it’s hard to say. kingsley shacklebolt is going to be named minister. cho’s alright. i saw her, after. she survived.

two days after the battle, she goes home to shower and get some sleep somewhere other than the lumpy couch in the staff room. seven hours later, she’s back on the ward. to begin with, marietta helped in the emergency department - there was plenty of reversible spell damage, after all, and she had enough training to be of assistance with the physically injured. then the raids began. kidnapped wix, tortured wix, found in the basements of stately homes, taken immediately to st mungo’s for their care and marietta was given the horrible job of informing their family that they were, as no one said direct but everyone knew was meant, broken beyond repair. time passes in a blur. the hospital - her department, especially - isn’t equipped to deal with the influx of patients. marietta pulls more and more sixteen hour shifts, nineteen hour shifts, twenty four hour shifts. she sleeps on the lumpy couch and she eats whatever is left over in the fridges and she fields phone calls from her mother and assures her father that she’s fine, except she’s not, really, but plenty of people have it worse.

[ TRIGGER WARNING ( SUICIDE MENTION / IMPLIED ) ] she doesn’t really remember the leadup to the decision, anymore. she’s not even sure there was one. it was the dead of summer and she had returned to an empty apartment and a flickering street lamp after another one of those ungodly shifts, and she was meant to be resting up for the next one. she woke up on a muggle hospital ward. her mother can’t believe she would be so selfish, her father just sits there and cries. it’ll be many more months before they find the words to tell her that they’ve decided to separate. [ END TRIGGER ]

it goes without saying, really, that the stress of st mungo’s was too great for her ; she can’t cut it, so she leaves. for a while she lives at home, but after they finally find the words to say that they’ll be divorcing, marietta finds it within herself to tell them that she’ll be moving out again, too. the only thing she accepts from her mother is the offer to put in a good word at the ministry of magic - the rest she’ll do herself, she tells her, though she’s not foolish enough to think that she got her obliviation job based off her own merit, alone.

she never goes back to ballet, never regrets leaving st mungo’s, never wonders if she should’ve made a break for the battle of hogwarts when news reached her of what was happening. slowly, she settles into level three and comes around to the idea of her parents being separate entities from this point onward - she’s too old for the idea of two christmases to excite her, but there’s something to be said about the fact that she no longer needs to see her mother when catching up over tea with anthony. the sneak scar never goes away, but she gets better, at hiding it, and the therapy she starts in the years between the end and the sixth annual battle memorial does wonders for the thoughts and feelings that she struggles most with. a coworker on level three broaches the subject of the order of the phoenix to her, unawares to the tangled web of history marietta has with underground rebellion groups. she doesn’t intend to join, really, but it’s nice to have her options open. it’s nice to be wanted, even. trusted, again.

by the time that the death eaters as led by bellatrix lestrange become a serious threat, again, and cho seeks her out as the only healer she knows that won’t tell a secret after the diggory sibling is attacked, marietta was actually CONTENT with life as she knew it. but she’d do anything for cho, no questions, and when it led down the road of becoming a contact, she barely hesitated. it’s not that marietta wants to be a hero, this time, or that she thinks she’s the best person for the job. it’s not even that she cares about the da and the part they’re playing in the war, or the order and the part they want them to play. really, it’s that unwavering loyalty to her best friend that drives her - and the spiteful little part of her delighted in becoming a thorn in the side of a select few wix who can’t afford to pull her out.

𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 :

marietta’s mother, isolde edgecombe, was herself a ravenclaw alumnus best known for a smart mouth and lofty aspirations, when at hogwarts. she ran with the same group as lavinia lacefield and considered them to be her dearest friends, though being a few years older than the majority of them put her in a slightly different position after graduation. she was ... over her head, back then. she didn’t understand how serious blood purism was to begin with, and when she started dating anthony mei, began putting distance between herself and her old friends - a distance solidified all the more by the birth of their daughter. she was always scared of the things she had said and done as a part of their circle coming back and biting her as she went into the ministry of magic as a junior wizengamot member, and then 1997 rolled around and lavinia took the fall for manslaughter for the entire group. she was in a position of saying or doing something, but she chose the good of the many over the good of lavinia, and rather than outing herself as having known more than was presented on paper, she let the other woman go to azkaban.

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 :

fairweather hogwarts based friendships - the ones she had as well as cho, but who she lost post da betrayal. alternate spin on this would be the people who didn’t turn their backs on her as she’d like to believe but were pushed away without even realising, but they’re probably few and far between.

anthony & isolde, her parents, are now separated and divorce is imminent. her dad is dating somebody’s single parent, which has thrown marietta and your character together often as they try and navigate impending step sibling hood.

friends for this point in time ! people who weren’t from hogwarts or who were there but in slytherin / not a part of the da, and have met and befriended her in the past eight years through her ministry job or forced socialisation.

order of the phoenix recruitor. someone went out on a limb and invited / allowed marietta to join the ootp, which was a weird turn of events. she’s quite fond of them, and they should maybe be the same amount of fond over here - if they’re that bit older, i think it’d be fun for them to be even vaguely protective over her.

enemies :) there are many. both from hogwarts and post hogwarts - marietta was much different pre da, but after it people just straight up did not like her, and she has definitely cultivated a pretty unlikable persona in the last few years so ... it’s fair.

she lives alone, but i want her to still have those kind of connects ! neighbours , maybe ? they live beside each other in a shitty apartment complex and the two of them might as well just live together for how often they’re over at each others palces, using each others showers and things depending on who’s is broken that day and who’s isn’t.

cousins via the pureblood edgecombe line would be neat !

rapidfire : yule ball date, ex study pals, flings, one night stands, crushes marietta had at school, connell & marianne inspired dynamic or little freak by harry styles inspired dynamic. i will add more as they come to me.

Backstory

Childhood:

Circe had what others would think was a pretty lavish childhood. Her family were maybe one of the only pureblood families that still upheld the Sacred 28 values and held her to them. Circe, however, didn’t particularly care what kind of blood you had. It was all the same to her. Everyone still bleeds red in her mind. But when she was seven and brought home a friend who her parents somehow knew was half blood, her mother fainted, and her father was furious. While her friend was sent home, Circe was sent to her room for the remainder of the weekend. Only allowed out when it was family dinner and only then. By the time she was ten she had learned that she had to act the part her parents wanted or suffer the consequences. They would never physically strike her (aside from the time when she was fourteen and her mother backhanded her across the face) but they would lock her away in her room for days on end.

She was also the youngest of the two Gallows children. Her brother was a bit older than she was. Her senior by about five years, Wyvern was made for greatness, or so she heard her father say on repeat. As a matter of fact, he was made for such greatness that at the age of ten he managed to sweet talk their father into letting him stay with their uncle in Bulgaria where he would then attend Durmstrang. Their father was proud. She would attend Hogwarts and be sorted into Ravenclaw where she could put her wits to use (as her mother had put it.)

Education:

At school, she was an absolute asset to have. Her mind knew no measure and Circe was top of her class by the time she was in her second year. There were the times when the odd Slytherin would make fun of her, but they learned quickly that the Gallows girl was not to be trifled with. Circe may be as pretty as she was intelligent, but she was also as tough as they come. Growing up with a brother who liked to fist fight you at any given opportunity taught her many a thing. Such as how to look for someone’s weak point. However, that was a last resort. Circe would much rather fight someone with her words. Which was something she was familiar with. She was born with a silver tongue, and she knew how to use it well. Even in school, she was expected to follow her parents’ word and only befriend (or date) those who were pure of blood. But Circe didn’t really care while she was in school. It wasn’t as if they could see who she was talking to and spending her time with while she was there. Even in letters she could lie.

Important person(s): Wyvern Gallows, Oliver Wood

Important event(s): It was two years post her graduation when she caught her brother three sheets to the wind and trying to fight another wizard he was grossly ill prepared for in the Three Broomsticks. Circe was able to sweet talk the other down and calm them enough to leave Wyvern alone but as soon as they were outside of the pub, her brother started trying to attack her. Circe now was strong, but she was little and weighted much less than Wyvern. In a turn and act of unusual cruelty, he left a long gash in the side of her leg, starting at her hip. Still to this day he doesn’t talk to her about it (or at all) and it leaves Circe to believe that there may have been something sinister at work that her brother had no control over.

Relationships:

Bad habit(s): Nail picking (particularly when nervous or anxious)

Partner(s): Oliver Wood - past

Family:

Pet(s)/animal(s): A pure white barn owl named Ghost and a pure black cat named Nox

Parent(s): Maureen & Thomas Gallows

They are not fast to warm up to anyone, but once they do they will protect you with all that they have.

hello hello !! i’m kuromi, i’m 21 and go by she/her, and in the cst !! i’m excited to get to know all of you and your lovely muses !!

all connections welcome <3

STATS / PINTEREST.

muggleborn, hermione jean granger grew up in a quiet house on the outskirts of london. she was always a bright little girl; if you asked her parents, they would say she was the light of their lives, and disregard any concerns brought up about her... idiosyncrasies. it didn’t matter to them. she was their daughter and nothing could be said or done to change the way they felt about her.

at age eleven she received her letter to hogwarts and couldn’t have been more thrilled. always having been academically inclined, she studied the coursework before attending school in the early fall. she quickly befriended harry potter and ron weasley, a trio that would last throughout all their years spent at hogwarts as they were sorted into gryffindor together.

the ongoing war during her time at school was mentally and physically draining, but hermione was hellbent on not letting it drag her down anymore than she thought was appropriate. she stuck to her studies as much as she could and received excellent marks in every class she attended.

she found she had a certain soft spot for house elves in her fourth year and created S.P.E.W. as a means of raising awareness toward the mistreatment of them.

as the war worsened, hermione helped found dumbledore’s army alongside her best friends in an effort to defeat voldemort once and for all. for some reason, logic preceded her and she couldn’t imagine a fate that wouldn’t include harry; however, the final battle that took place between the two had proven fatal for both.

despite losing one of her closest friends, she persevered as best as she could, the only remnant of the battle having been losing hearing in her right ear. she attended her final year of school and graduated at the top of her class. after this, she would receive multiple letters from various wizarding organizations that were impressed by her intellect, ultimately choosing a job at the being division at the department for regulation and control of magical creatures, where she’s been working ever since.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 !

mione’s subject of choice is arithmancy, and she’s been known to visit hogwarts as a tutor for the few that choose to take the class

she’s also given multiple lectures for S.P.E.W. in the past

her best friend in the entire world is a now elderly crookshanks. no questions asked

cold brew is what wakes her in the morning and chamomile tea (and a good book) is what lulls her to sleep at night

she checks up on her parents semi-regularly and leaves gifts at the door for them for each of their birthdays and christmas

can’t lie for the life of her and will be brutally honest even when she means well, and she typically does

knows bsl
