Kyojuro Rengoku: Hogwarts AU

Kyojuro Rengoku was a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 10th of May 1972 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1983, being sorted into Gryffindor House.

He had a Spruce wand with a Phoenix Feather core.

His Patronus was a Horned Owl.

His favorite subject was Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite subject was Astronomy.

He was one of the Gryffindor Beaters from his fourth year onward and Quidditch Captain in his final year.

Kyojuro was greatly enthusiastic in regard to his duties as a member of the Werewolf Control Department, and often came across as cheerfully eccentric. He was amiable, pure of heart, and boasted extraordinary technique and duelling skills stemming from strict practice and discipline. He was an honorable wizard who adhered to his code of morals and principles that was instilled into him by his mother at a young age; the most significant being his belief that those who were born strong have a duty to protect the weak.

Kyojuro also loved his family immensely, displaying great respect and worry towards his father, Shinjuro Rengoku, despite him growing slowly more aggressive and apathetic towards Kyojuro. He was incredibly encouraging and optimistic towards his little brother, Senjuro Rengoku, believing in him and wishing him the best no matter what. This was further accentuated during his death where his final words for his father and his little brother were "take care of your body" and "follow your dreams no matter what". Kyojuro also believed that if someone lacks immense skill, their hard work towards their dreams and desire to help people doesn't count for nothing.

Beneath his enthusiastic demeanor, Kyojuro was very logical and tactically intelligent, acting quickly and precisely in battle, especially when the lives of others are on the line. Kyojuro was also great in seeing talent in others, even in Nezuko Kamado, a werewolf which he wanted to force to registrate beforehand, after seeing her risk her lives to fight and protect others. Though he was extremely optimistic, Kyojuro did sometimes have a sense of foreboding that those he believed in might die, especially his friends who he cared deeply for. He, like most of his coworkers, absolutely detested unregistered vampires and werewolves, usually because of their heinous deeds or because of their clashing moral values. Despite this, Kyojuro recognized and accepted Nezuko as a comrade after seeing her risk her life to protect innocents, showing that Kyojuro was capable of not letting his hatred for them cloud his judgement.

Tetsurou Kuroo: Hogwarts AU

Tetsurou Kuroo is a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 17th of November 1971 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1983, being sorted into Ravenclaw House.

He has a Rowan wand with a Dragon Heartstring core.

His Patronus is a Black Cat.

His favorite subject is Potions and his least favorite subject is Herbology.

He was one of the Ravenclaw Prefects of his year and one of their Beaters from his fourth year onward with him becoming the captain in his sixth year.

Kuroo has a laid-back yet scheming personality and is considered a "provocation expert" by many. He would actively provoke others and is unrelenting when dishing out snide remarks. This is demonstrated in the way he angers Tsukishima when the younger Ravenclaw maintained a nonchalant attitude toward quidditch during training. However, Kuroo is kinder and more genuine than what his exterior image conveys. After realizing he has overstepped a line, Kuroo seeks out and apologizes to Daichi about the provocation. Later on, proving that while he is a "provocation expert," sportsmanship is still important to him. He also cares and respects the Flying professor, Keishin Ukai, immensely.

According to Kenma, Kuroo was a shy and withdrawn kid who first moved into his neighborhood when he was eight years old. He was quiet in front of strangers and awkward around Kenma at first, despite the two being close in age. Both of them bonded over video games and eventually practiced quidditch together. Slowly, Kuroo began to come out of his shell as the two got increasingly involved in the sport. He became a much louder and energetic person, made new friends at school, and started going out to play soccer with the other kids.

Kuroo is also shown to be a highly observant and intuitive person when it comes to both quidditch and other people. Even as a kid, he was incredibly mindful of Kenma's quiet, withdrawn personality, and had the sense to not drag him out to do something the boy didn't have any fun in doing. In matches, his attentive nature as a Beater proves to be extremely lethal for Ravenclaw's opponents. He quickly tracks down and analyzes every move of the Chasers, allowing him to hit the bludger at a successful angle and destroy the momentum of the opposing team.

Around his teammates, Kuroo is a reliable, strong captain, often responsible for lifting the spirits of the team when they are feeling down using sly quips. He seems to derive enjoyment from facing strong opponents and hides his frustration with sharp smirks and boisterous remarks, all the while scheming strategies to break down the opposing team.

Despite seeming sly and cool on the outside, Kuroo possesses a silly side that is on display when he belts out in loud obnoxious laughter and engages in frivolous conversation with his best friend Bokuto. Kuroo also seems to either see himself as more of an old man or people only a year or two younger than him as children, as shown when he proclaims "Ah, youth" after seeing Inuoka and Hinata interact together and talking with Tsukishima.
