Remus Lupin Headcannon

he totally had this snoopy plush from 1968, he brought it with him to his first year at school and kept it hidden under his pillows from the other boys seeing it. At night he would take it out and cuddle with it under the blanket. His only prized possession

Hippocampus' Short and Important History

The Hippocampus is a species of half-fish half-horse, and is a waterbound creature native to Greece in the Mediterranean sea. The Hippocampus takes its name after the muggle term for the part of the brain that is involved in memory, learning, and emotion. This particular part of the brain resembles a seahorse, which I think is quite clever on muggles' part. “The term water horse was originally a name given to the kelpie, a creature similar to the hippocamp, which has the head, neck and mane of a normal horse, front legs like a horse, webbed feet, and a long, two-lobed, whale-like tail.” (Huges, 1915)

The Kelpie is known in muggle terms as the lochness monster in Irish society, as it can easily transform between its chosen shapeshifting state. Kelpies are extremely similar to the other well known half-horse half-fish, and it is known as its extremely dangerous and brutal cousin. “A kelpie is a shape-changing aquatic spirit of Scottish legend. Its name may derive from the Scottish Gaelic words 'cailpeach' or 'colpach', meaning heifer or colt. Kelpies are said to haunt rivers and streams, usually in the shape of a horse.” (Scott, 1964).

Kelpies and Hippocampus do derive from the same ancestor of horses given the similarities, but branched apart from each other during the early 12th century due to changes in preference of bodies of water. The things that set the two apart in the evolution process are simple, aggression levels and tail formation. The Hippocampus shows a forked twin-tail formation, while the Kelpie’s tail is a simple formation but rare in the way that its tail is literally made up of Kelp (Hall, 1897). The aggression levels are more complex however, Hippocampus are level 3 which contain that competent wizards must cope and be knowledgeable before handling, kelpies on the other hand you’d need to be cautious as they are dangerous (Scrimgeour, 1974). Slight differences in appearance are seen between the two, as Hippocampus’ can appear blue & red, its hair appears in the form of fins, and appear as less of a threat to humans. Kelpies however appear darker in color, the hair growth appears as actual kelp, and they are demonic in nature and can be a threat to humans.

Hippocampus’ were brought to Australia during the columbian exchange in 1492. They were used as a form of labor work for wizards exclusively as a means of transportation across the seas, and particularly over the mediterranean sea to Africa. Things that were delivered were mainly iron bars, pigs, and a ton of Baneberry. Baneberry (Actaea spp.) is native to Greece, and became exceptionally important to wizards at the time to create potions to ward off the plague. Wizards also saw this as a key role for getting muggles to purchase their wares, marketing the Baneberry as a relief for the plague. They did manage to keep it a well hidden secret to maintain the idea of its “rarity” to further mark up the price for its warding powers. Obviously superstition levels were way higher in the 15th century, so this was an extremely successful market to partake in. Baneberry is also known today in Muggle society as Herb Christopher, and is known as an arthritis helper. (Budge, 1543)

By the Hippocampus’ involvement in the columbian exchange, we were able to make wizard society the economic success that it stands as today with the trade involvement of Baneberry, as apparitions had not existed yet.
