headcanon : longbottom estate & family history.
the longbottoms have an ancestral house that has been passed down for generations called ' the oak's point '
to give a very brief overview, the longbottoms had a massive start as one of the few families to mass-produce and introduce wand productions across britain and scotland as far back as the 14th century
this was a possibility in part due to one of the longbottoms having been gifted a massive land by the royalty at the time as well as a title that had allowed him to cultivate the land — which was rich of the magical substances that made the wands
of course, knowing they would never surpass ollivander's influence in wandmaking, the longbottoms remained one of their main suppliers; a business partnership they carry well into the twentieth century
the longbottoms have also been involved in other industries such as providing materials and clothes for the mass production of robes, and aiding the royal family in supplying magical wood for the heightened interest in magical sailing back in the 15th century
in the 16th century, the longbottoms were already quite well-known as a family with inherited generational wealth, with the heir at the time amounting to ( in today's calculation ) half a million net worth.
today, augusta longbottom sits as the head to the longbottom fortune, with neville as her sole heir. she is worth around 7.4 million pound, while neville's net worth is expected to rise to 10.3 million pound by the time he leads the longbottom house as head.
oak's point belonged to neville's ancestor who built the estate around the 15th century.
the estate encompassed around 12 acres of land, with the whole house being able to provide up to two hundreds occupant at the same time, if need be.
at present, it is with residents : housing augusta, enid, algie, and neville.
neville grew up in oak's point at the main residence ( called 'chestnut mansion' ) where he is watched closely by his grandmother, a governess, and a specially appointed house-elf, orla.
up until he's eleven, the year he goes to hogwarts, neville is homeschooled and is thus, quite sheltered.
neville was supposed to live at another part of oak's point, called the 'bur's cottage', because it was specially dedicated and gifted to frank and alice and it was where they plan to raise their family. as an adult, augusta gifted the cottage for neville to use, which he does — though sparingly, when he ended up mainly living at hogwarts.
the whole of oak's point now housed three main house-elves: totts, margie, and orla. they are being treated quite fondly and fairly by all members of the longbottom ( that is, if uncle algie isn't being annoying ) , though given the traditional view still practised by augusta, they aren't considered as free creatures at all.
