This account is not active (for now). I will occasionally be posting on my main blog. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and my ideas. I love the HP fandom very much, but it's time to focus on my schooling.
Porfiry Dolohov (b. 1904) was the father of Fyodor, Sergei, and Efrosina. He was largely absent from his children’s lives, particularly after the death of his wife. According to family accounts, Porfiry's wife, Lady Dolohov, was murdered during an attempted robbery, when a thief tried to steal a valuable necklace she was wearing. The incident left Porfiry increasingly withdrawn and distant from his children in the years that followed. Fyodor once remarked that the necklace his mother wore on the day she died was cursed, for anyone who wore it always met their demise in a gruesome manner while having it in their possession.
Fyodor Dolohov (b. 1925) was the eldest sibling of Sergei and Efrosina. After Natasha Volkova finished her schooling, Fyodor married her. For a short time, however, his parents considered arranging a different match for him. They discussed the possibility of marrying Fyodor to a witch from a prominent Anglo-Saxon wizarding family in order to expand the Dolohov family’s influence beyond Russia. He became the guardian of his niece, Serafima, after the girl's mother died when she was ten.
Natasha Volkova (b. 1926) was the wife of Fyodor Dolohov. She attended Koldovstoretz from 1937 to 1944 and was a year or two below her future husband. As a member of the Russian aristocracy, Natasha was expected to marry a well-bred wizard soon after graduating. For years, society assumed she would marry her sweetheart, Fyodor. However, the Dolohov family’s reputation was damaged in 1943 when Sergei Dolohov was expelled from Koldovstoretz. After this scandal, Natasha’s parents became hesitant about allowing their daughter to continue her relationship with the Dolohov heir.
Sergei Dolohov (b. 1927) was the younger brother of Fyodor, as well as the elder brother of Efrosina. He was expelled from Koldovstoretz in his sixth year for endangering a fellow classmate while trying to perfect his purple flame curse. Sergei would continue his education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he would befriend Tom Riddle. Not too long after his transition to a new school, Sergei became a Knight of Walpurgis. Unlike his two other siblings, Sergei did not have any children of his own and refused to marry.
Efrosina Dolohova (b. 1929) was the youngest child of Porfiry Dolohov. She had always been a troublesome child and often acted impulsively, doing reckless things that damaged her family’s reputation. At some point, Porfiry sent his daughter away to live with a relative, hoping that she might learn discipline and improve her behavior away from the pressures and influences of her home environment. Efrosina doesn't remember her mother, as Lady Dolohov died when the witch was only two years old. Later on, Efrosina would become the mother of Serafima, but she refused to name who her child's father was.
Vasilii Dolohov (b. 1955) was the eldest son of Fyodor Dolohov and Natasha Volkova. As the firstborn, he was the heir to the Dolohov family and was expected to carry on the family name and bloodline. From a young age, he was raised with the responsibilities and expectations that came with his position within the prominent wizarding family. Tragically, Vasilii was accidentally killed by his brother Antonin after being caught in the crossfire during a fight between Antonin and Fabian Prewett.
Antonin Dolohov (b. 1957) was the younger son of Fyodor Dolohov and Natasha Volkova. He had been the classmate of the Black sisters, Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, and many other second-generation Death Eaters eager to follow in the footsteps of their fathers. Antonin's father encouraged him to join the Voldemort's elite force, requesting that he be sent to live with Sergei in England so that he could be more closely connected to the Dark Lord's followers and become involved with their activities. In 1974, Antonin was forced into an arranged marriage with Iryna Rosanova, a member of the Rosier family's Russian branch. Shortly after the birth of their youngest daughter, the two separated from one another after a dreadfully long and unhappy marriage.
Iryna Rosanova (b. 1956) was the wife of Antonin Dolohov. She came from the Russian branch of the Rosier family, though she had little contact with her French relatives. Iryna and her family strongly supported Voldemort’s cause, and her parents arranged for her to marry Antonin, one of the Dark Lord’s followers. Through this marriage, Iryna became involved with the Death Eaters as well, eager to serve the Dark Lord and support his agenda. Despite their shared allegiance, Iryna did not care for her husband, and their marriage was largely one of convenience and political ambition rather than affection. The two maintained a cold and distant relationship, bound more by loyalty to Voldemort and their families’ expectations than by any genuine attachment to one another.
Serafima Dolohova (b. 1950) was a Russian pure-blood witch born out of wedlock to Efrosina Dolohova, the younger sister of the Death Eater Sergei Dolohov. She was the elder cousin of Antonin Dolohov, who was six years younger than her. Both were raised in environments influenced by Lord Voldemort during their adolescence, though Antonin remained loyal to the Dark Lord while Serafima’s loyalties later became more complicated. In 1972, Serafima was assigned to act as a spy within the Order of the Phoenix, gathering information and secretly passing it to Voldemort. During this time, she grew close to Gideon Prewett, the older brother of Molly Weasley, and the two eventually developed romantic feelings for one another. However, when her true allegiance was discovered, Serafima ultimately betrayed Gideon by revealing his location to Antonin and several other Death Eaters. The resulting attack led to the deaths of Gideon and his twin brother Fabian, both killed by Antonin. The betrayal weighed heavily on Serafima, and in the final months of her life she defected from the Death Eaters and sought refuge with the Order of the Phoenix. She confronted Molly Weasley and offered her own life in atonement for the deaths of her brothers, but Molly refused to take revenge and instead urged her to seek redemption by helping their cause. Serafima chose to fight alongside the Order, but she was killed in battle by the Death Eater Thorfinn Rowle. Before dying, she managed to strike Rowle with a powerful purple-flame incantation, leaving him permanently scarred.

Tatiana Dolohova (b. 1975) was the eldest daughter of Antonin Dolohov and Iryna Rosanova. From an early age, she was largely neglected by both of her parents, as they were far more devoted to serving the Dark Lord than to raising their children. As a result, Tatiana spent much of her childhood in the care of relatives and household staff, growing up in a cold and distant family environment. Things became even more complicated when Antonin was imprisoned when she was only six years old, leaving her without any real parental guidance. After Voldemort and his forces were defeated, Tatiana’s mother sent her to live with Lord and Lady Rosanov, Iryna’s brother and sister-in-law. There, Tatiana was introduced to a stricter household and a more rigid sense of discipline, but she also gained stability and access to a proper magical education that her own parents had never provided.
Klavdiya Dolohova (b. 1978) was the second-eldest daughter of Antonin Dolohov and Iryna Rosanova. She was her mother’s favorite child and enjoyed a vastly different childhood compared to her older sister Tatiana. While Tatiana experienced neglect and distance from their parents, Klavdiya was pampered and given far more attention, often indulged in her mother’s ambitions and pride. It was rumored that Klavdiya wasn't Antonin's biological daughter, which is possibly why she was so beloved by her mother, having been the living embodiment of Iryna's disdain towards her husband. Nevertheless, she was still recognized as a legitimate child of her father.
Elena Dolohova (b. 1981) was born shortly after her father’s imprisonment. She was the youngest of the Dolohov siblings and had a twin brother who was stillborn. Because of this, her father saw her as a disappointment, lamenting that he could not trade her life for that of his lost son. Her mother, Iryna, also harbored some disdain toward Elena, seeing her as less important since she was not the heir her husband had wanted. As a result, Elena grew up largely neglected and emotionally isolated, struggling to find affection or recognition within her family.
