( cis man | he&him | charles melton ) โโ isnโt that ANTONIN DOLOHOV? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN ย table with those other SEVENTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees an empty manor filled with secrets and ghosts of the past, the sound of a snowstorm outside, cigarette smoke twirling in the air, taste of firewhiskey on your tongue, bruised knuckles and split lips, a jaw clenched so hard it could cut grass, an arrogant smirk masking oneโs true emotions, feeding into your anger to forget just how hollow you are, the thrill of putting yourself in danger, going to class right after a party. anyway iโve heard theyโre pretty AUDACIOUS, RECKLESS, and AMBITIOUS. apparently theyโre a VENIT TEMPESTAS/DEATH EATER and PUREBLOOD but iโm sure thatโs not related. โโ [ azzy : gmt+2 : 21 : she&her ]ย

antonin was born on august 18th, 1959 in moscow, ussr. heโs the second oldest out of five children. his father, dimitri dolohov is the russian minister of magic -- the dolohovi are an old, noble family and have been in the ministry for centuries. his mother, seong min is the daughter of the head of the auror headquarters in south. the seong family has held that position for generations as well. dimitri and minโs marriage has been nothing but political and their influence is strong all throughout eurasia. min ended up passing away shortly after antoninโs birth due to health complications. dimitri didnโt wait much before he remarried -- to him, marriage was nothing but political. he didnโt grieve.
antonin has always been a problematic child. his older brother artem has been groomed to take their fatherโs position as soon as he was born. his younger brothers had their positions in the french ministry secured, while his younger sisterโs marriage to one of the sacred twenty-eight families has been planned as soon as she was born. antonin, however, refused to cooperate and was nothing but a huge pain in the arse for his father. no matter what kind of punishment his father came up with, it only made antonin act out even more.
when antonin was ten, he and his younger sister were sent to live with their uncle mikhail and aunt svetlana in london, england. his sister had to get to know her future husband and antonin was supposed to look after her. though shortly before their leave, dimitri pulled his son aside and let him know that he just wanted to get rid of him for good and that was his main reason for sending him to london.
the sorting hat yelled outย โslytherinโ as soon as it touched antoninโs head. he fit in well among his housemates, though he has certainly cost his house numerous points thanks to antoninโs knack for trouble. pranks, parties, hooking up in the broom closet -- anything that broke the rules, antonin would do. he was also notorious for picking fights; he straight up decked one of the prefects for catching him after curfew.
antonin got interested in the dark arts somewhere during his third year. he was good at them -- he loved the feeling of power they gave him, he loved the fact that they were forbidden. although he wasnโt interested in serving or being a follower, he thought joining the ranks of the death eaters would be a good opportunity for him. the fact that his parents would be horrified by the idea only made it better. they were hypocrites, antonin thought. blood purity was important for both the dolohov and the devereux families, only they werenโt willing to get their hands dirty and do something about it.ย
while antonin doesnโt care much for blood purity, he isnโt exactly concerned with muggleborns either. he still believes others are beneath him, but itโs more of a defense mechanism for the life long cruel criticism heโs received from his parents. heโs in with the death eaters for the thrill of it. antonin got his dark mark the summer after sixth year.
โoh, i plan to shout it from the top of the astronomy tower.ย โshe teased, allowing her lips to brush against his for a moment in return. there was something about him lately, and maybe this was new for him, she wouldnโt know as sheโd distanced herself from him for some time leading up to them getting back together, but he wasโ softer. for her at least. there wasnโt anything wrong with having loyalty seeping out of the veins of her boyfriend, sheโd just never had it presented in such a way.ย she smiled back at him, eyes brushing over his almost sculpted features.ย โoh? that is interesting information to have.โ she mused, leaning back into the soft pillows lightly, eyes locked on his.ย โall this because you challenged me to kiss you?โ she let a smile delicately weave over her lips, hand moving over his own on the bed next to them before her fingers curled around his.ย โyouโd do anything for me?โ
โdo it.โ antonin whispered, brushing his fingers through her hair.ย โi want every single prick in this castle to know that youโre mine.โ a part of him was still scared that alecto would just one day decide she was bored of him or choose one of her many other suitors. but the slytherin tried his best to supress all of these thoughts. she was here with him right now and thatโs all that mattered.ย โiโd do anything for you, love. anything. you ask of it, and i will do it.โ antonin whispered, placing a kiss on her forehead. he started to wonder if he really would do truly anything. would alecto test him? were there limits to his loyalty after all?
โmy brother has a heart somewhere.โ she shrugged, not actually knowing if it were true when it came to others, but it was with her at least.ย โitโs his choice if he shows it or not. heโs very layered and deep and shitโฆ like onions. and as for shagging half the castle, firstly, ew I didnโt need a reminder of that and secondly, hasnโt your girlfriend done the same?โ she cocked a brow at him, waiting to see if sheโd struck a nerve.ย โit doesnโt matter anyway, carrow can sleep with who she pleases and unfortunately, so can my brother. the world is changing, dolohov, better keep up!โ
โyour brother, a heart? thatโs a funny joke, ophi. i donโt know if youโre defending him because you have to or youโre really that clueless, but heโs a monster. but i suppose heโs nice to you so it doesnโt matter how many people heโs hurt, right?โ antonin raised an eyebrow at her. the mention of alectoโs numerous past lovers made the dolohov clench his jaw; heโs had his fair share of hook-ups, but he didnโt like to think of alectoโs. she belonged to him now and he - to her.ย โwhen you love someone, youโd only want to be with that person. be loyal and devoted to them. wouldnโt it be funny if i claimed to love alecto and still shagged every random girl that came onto me? itโd be ridiculous.โ
most of the time rita didnโt even mean to snoop. she just happened to be in the right place, at the right time. for all she knew, she was trying to watch the game when she couldnโt help but overhear the argument taking place on the seats in front of her, raising an eyebrow at the exchange of words. when one of the people got up and left after things got a little bit too heated, she got up and moved to the now free sit.ย โinteresting..โ she noted, almost feeling bad for the person and what theyโd just had to endure.ย โthat you just put with that. they canโt speak to you that way.โ
antonin got startled when rita skeeter showed up out of nowhere, but that seemed to be her thing. heโd never spoken that much to the girl -- there was certainly something strange about her but he didnโt mind her presence either. apparently, sheโd overheard his argument with cleon too.ย โyou must not know cleon very well, then.โ the dolohov remarked.ย โand iโm not putting up with anything.โ antonin was.. tired, really. he just wanted to spend time with his girlfriend and enjoy the peace of it.ย โiโm just done with him. i want that little slimey arsehole out of my li-- wait, why am i telling you all of this?โย
โi suppose it never meant anything to you, after all.โ antonin began, carefully watching the other. he wanted to see her true reaction to his words, the answer to something he had been wondering for a long time.ย โyou were happy shagging longbottom the entire time. werenโt you? i was your cover up, your distraction.โ
indignant was the right word for it as his gaze shot up โ lips twisting into a sign of weariness and disdain,ย โlast i checked dolohov, i donโt take orders from you and i donโt owe you anything โโ the boy shrugged easily,ย โyou wanted an easy mark? go pair up with someone who cares for your attitudeย โโ
โno, buddy, hereโs the thing--โ antonin began speaking, putting his hand on frankโs shoulder quite threatengly.ย โyouโre going to do it or youโre going to be in big trouble. your choice.โย
โall hail the queen, right?โ she hummed looking over him. she knew he hadnโt been in her brothers life recently, for what reason he wasnโt sure, but it couldโve had something to do with the fact there were rumours he was now with the only person her brother gave a shit about outside of family.ย โ I heard alecto had uh, called it quits with the gryffindor guy and rumour has it that she crawled right back to you. lucky guy.โย
antonin couldnโt help but roll his eyes. rumours in this castle really did travel fast, but he also took immense pride in having won alecto. she chose him and no one else.ย โi am lucky, yes. and alecto made a wise choice. she knew who truly loved her. i suppose your brother isnโt taking it well, though who wonders if he really does care. if he did, he wouldnโt have shagged half the castle, right?โ the dolohov mused, raising an eyebrow at the blonde. if anyone knew cleonโs true intentions, that would be his sister. sometimes antonin thought she was the only person in the world who cleon truly cared about.
learning from her last lesson, alecto had been sure to keep the curtains around the bed drawn until she was certain cleon had left, luckily for her, she hadnโt seen or heard from him all night. perhaps moving to her dorm was a better option. the others would merely have to make do. sheโd donned one of his old quidditch jerseys in an attempt to keep her a little warmer while she rested, it was cooler than she predicted it to be, but maybe that was just the gods tempting fate. her lips pulled up into a smile as she saw him, sitting up in the bed and reaching her arms out towards him.ย โyou are the sweetest man alive.โ she hummed, letting her fingers weave into the collar of his shirt to pull him close enough for their lips to meet softly.ย โyou didnโt need to do this. I wouldโve wandered down eventually.โ
โdonโt tell anyone -- i have a reputation to mantain.โ antonin joked, pressing his lips against hers and letting out a laugh. for the first time in a long time, he was happy. content. he realized he didnโt need anyone else but alecto.ย โyou donโt have to do anything, babe. iโve got it all covered. always.โ he couldnโt contain himself from giving her that stupid, big grin. he was such a happy fool right now.ย โyou seriously have no idea how happy you make me. crazy, but happy. youโve got me wrapped around your finger, alecto carrow.โ
โWell, we know that if Slytherin is throwing the party itโll be a good one. Canโt say Iโm much into knitting groups and bongo drum circles so letโs leave the party planning to the experts, shall we puffs?โ
@petrificusstarterโ
although antonin wasnโt in the mood for any burkes in particular, he didnโt really have anything against ophelia. for all he knew, she was just cleonโs little sister and the two hadnโt talked much.ย โitโs not like they get a say in it. alecto has it handled.โย
tessomancy was a load of utter shit โย ย his mind rang out as he stared at the teacup rather frustrated, this was his third time giving it a goย with the remnants of his tea and yet all he saw was blob of nothingย ย โ he didnโt care for divination, it wasnโt going to put him on the path of being an auror, no but it was going to open his mind to other possibilities - thatโs what his father had argued.ย frank couldnโt simply be narrow-minded, no he had to open up his mind to all areas of magic, โjust tell me itโs not a GRIMย or a FALCONโ really, i donโt have time for a deadly enemyโโย

antonin rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. heโd never been fond of the longbottom, especially considering the fact that his ex had a thing for him while they were still together. he did everything in his power to ruin the relationship he had with alice and a part of him regretted it.ย โshut it, longbottom and do your part. i thought you ravenclaws were supposed to be smart, but apparently i was wrong.โ
โwell, i donโt know.โ they say with a shrug.ย โi have nothing else to do. this seemed like it would be somewhat entertaining, gotta try and experience new things even if you donโt know whatโs going on half the time, right?โ they say looking at him. there was something that seemed tense about him, why was everyone so goddamn tense these days? itโs like everyone had their knickers in a twist. โdo you know anyone out on the field right now?โ they ask making conversation as they lean their forearms on the railing staying focused on the players in the field.
antonin did feel a little bit guilty for being so hostile towards the borgin at first, but another part of him told him not to trust them.ย โof course i do. theyโre all my teammates.โ the dolohov responded.ย โwell, you could learn a thing or two by watching the game right now. watching me, specifically.โย
antonin had been desperate to get his life on order lately and for the most part, he was good at pretending he did. alecto was the only thing that kept him going right now. after all this time, she had finally returned his feelings and that was good enough for him. heโd lost enough friends as it is, but the girl was more than enough to fill the hole in his heart. heโs sneaked out of the slytherin doorms early in the morning, went to class for the first time in a while then stopped by the kitchens to steal some snacks and drinks. after that, the dolohov made his way back to his dorms. he was delighted to see an empty room with no one but alecto in his bed.ย โmorning, beautiful. i brought you some breakfast.โ
โokay wait, so you get the balls through the hoop and the little golden thingโฆ eh, what was that called, a finch? thatโs a type of bird isnโt it? snizzle??? stitch????ย finishes off the entire game, but only the two fastest people can go after it? iโm confused, i think i mght just be too old for this game.โ they say furrowing their brows.ย โemma has tried to explain it to me before but when i watched it for her i had a hard time even keeping up, it looks like a bunch of people are just getting beat up with a bunch of bats voluntarily if you ask me.โ they say with a shrug.ย โi donโt see where the fun in that is.โย
antonin had a few minutes left until the game and he was already on edge. his mind was elsewhere and not on the game. he rolled his eyes when a familiar face spoke. needless to be said, he wasnโt too fond of the borgin and burke families at the moment -- they were both as shady as their shop.ย โwhat even are you doing here if you donโt know shit about the game and obviously, not interested in it?โย
โi think youโre better off asking another prefect, or youโll have to wait for me to look up the answer for you, which you could really just do yourself.โ she eyed the other, hoping theyโd choose the common sense choice of doing it themself.
@petrificusstarterโ
โyou heard her, arsehole. fuck off.โ antonin watched as the kid scurried off and let out a sigh. he hadnโt been sleeping well for a while now and was having a hard time. all he needed right now was to spend some time with his sister.ย โhey, kat. are you up for abandoning your prefect duties for a bit?โ
โyouโฆ didnโt mean for things to go this way, but youโฆ. did the moment you started showing up and working for my dad.โ he says, his voice oddly calm. almost scarily calm as his eyes scanned antoninโs features. those were tears. that was something that amos did not see often from young antonin. god he lovedโ lovesโ antoninโ obviously the different kind of love. the kind that canโt be broken but once it is, it fucking hurts. he hated it. he had to remember that cleon only came to talk to him just to ruin antonin. but amos and his father were a different story. antonin was there that night that had forced amos to change for the better. antonin knew how much pain amos had been in physically and emotionally. his face was expressionless as he looked at his brother and he tilted his head to the side, bringing his thumb up to antoninโs eyes and gently brushed away the tears that had rimmed his eyes.ย
โi knew my father had always loved you more.โ his own voice almost sounded hurt. he was hurt and it felt like that his throat was closing up at he spoke but he forced himself to speak. but you could tell he was holding in his own tears by how stern his facial expression was.ย โi know my father wants me dead.โ he breaths out nervously letting his hands fall down to his side and leans against the brick wall. he is keeping himself together oddly well. who knew that friendship was so painful? clearly not amos. โsince you are.. his messenger, you can tell him that i will not be coming home with you. i love you antonin butโฆ. if i am home with you, he will eventually make you do something that you donโt want to do and i wonโt be around to help you anymore. i donโt want that to happen.โย
finally, that was when amosโ bottom lip quivered: the first sign of emotion this entire time.ย โdid you ever care about me?โ he asks mostly to himself not really expecting an answer from antonin. his voice cracked and tears had finally rimmed his chocolate brown hues.ย โdid i waste my love for someone that didnโt love me back? when i could have put that love towards someone else that actually wouldโฆโ he breathed out heavily furiously rubbing his eyes to get him to stop before he stood up taller and sucked in the pain.ย โi loved youโ love you. but he told me you laughed about me when you realized how easy it was to get close to me. was that true?โ he asked his brows furrowing. โdoes anyone know that i was tortured? you only know that. you know the scars that were left behind. what have you told my father?โ he gritted his teeth as he mindlessly stared at the ground.ย
antonin turned around and nervously ran his fingers through his hard; he didnโt want to be seen in that condition. he wiped away the few tears that spilled out and took a deep breath, trying to somewhat compose himself. showing any kind of emotion besides anger made him feel pathetic. mother and father never cried. cleon and cassius never cried. luke diggory never cried. it was a sign of weakness and he needed to stop doing it. he was weak. he wasnโt strong. he certainly didnโt feel strong right now, but he had to try his best to be so. finally after composing himself a bit, antonin turned back around.
luke was the father he never had and antonin knew how terrible the man was to his own son, but heโd never treated antonin like this. he taught him so much about what a death eater is supposed to be like, he took him in his home, showed him kindness that dimitri dolohov never did. how the hell was he supposed to turn his back on that man?ย โhe just.. he wants you to follow his path. i donโt.. i donโt like what he did to you. i never will. but amos, heโs-- heโs my mentor. heโs like a father to me.โ antonin muttered, knowing deep inside that no matter what excuse he made for luke diggory, he couldnโt excuse his actions. just like he couldnโt excuse his own.ย โamos, please. where are you even going to go?โ the thought of staying at the diggoryโs without amos being there was.. strange.
the hufflepuffโs next question took antonin by surprise. he kept silent for a few moments. as much as he didnโt like to admit it when he cared for others, he cared for amos. he loved him more than his own brothers.ย โi only said that.. so cleon and cassius wouldnโt think our friendship meant anything.โ antonin admitted, avoiding amosโ gaze. he was so desperate for the two boysโ approval when he was younger and for what? cass didnโt give a shit and cleon ended up ruining his life anyway. just what the hell did he get himself involved into? all antonin knew, though, was that alecto was worth every bit of it. but was his friendship with amos beyond repair?ย โand.. i didnโt at first. i was just doing what luke told me to. but i do care about you now. i mean it, amos.โ the reminder of amosโ scars was like a dagger in his heart.ย โi-- i havenโt told anyone.โ
โi need to have fun, black.โ antonin admitted. all he needed right now was a good distraction.ย โbut something tells me you canโt offer this to me.โย
