Abigail Blyg: Hogwarts AU

Abigail Blyg is a Muggleborn witch that was born on the 15th of August 1986 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1997, being sorted into Ravenclaw House.

She has a Pear wand with a Unicorn Hair core.

Her Patronus is non-corporeal.

Her favorite subject is Charms and her least favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Abigail is described by her classmates as shy, artistic, and indecisive.

Abigail is introverted and has difficulty socializing, which lead those close around her to advise her to work on it by joining the Art Club. She is indecisive as seen during the Truth or Dare game or when teased by a feverish Emma. Abigail is reluctant to break rules. She is kind-hearted, innocent and sensible, thus can easily feel guilty if she feels she had done something wrong or if others points out her misdoings, like accidentally killing a squirrel or abandoning Nick, and the latter blames her for this. She seems to lack courage as she didn't act on her crush on Nick.

Her artistic mind makes her quickly forget the world around her, as she ignores Nick if he acts playful in order to draw the sunset. Despite her shyness, Abigail seems to be a good art teacher as Nick remarks the first years listen to her if they ask for art lessons.

Her friends describes her as socially awkward but sweet and sincere, she seems to be interested in finding love while she still has time during her school years. Her awkward nature may lead to her being seen as weird or shy around people more sociable than her but others might find it more endearing.

Josh Washington: Hogwarts AU

Josh Washington is a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 25th of May 1986 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1997, being sorted into Slytherin house.

He has a Spruce wand with a Dragon Heartstring Core.

He has a Non-Corporeal Patronus.

His favorite subject is Charms and his least favorite is Arithmancy.

He was one of the Slytherin Prefects of his year.

Josh is described as thoughtful, loving, and complex. Josh's interactions with his friends tend to be humorous. He cares for his friends, acts as a brotherly figure to Chris, and likes to make sure everyone is having a good time. He goes to Sam for support after the loss of his sisters.

His dreams of following his father's footsteps in becoming a theater producer make him very knowledgeable about special effects and stage props and as such, he constantly uses phrases and words from muggle movies.

Josh struggles to come to terms with the disappearance of his sisters. The event triggered depression, which became more and more severe a year before the events of his seventh year. He appears to have psychosis, which was caused by this depression, and schizophrenia: a mental illness characterized by a disconnection from reality.

The Psychiatric Report that Sam finds in the Hospital Wing, reveals that Josh has been diagnosed as mentally ill since he was 11 years old. However, all medications that are listed in the record are solely for depression treatment. It is also implied he has a fear of isolation.

The Phoenix Resistance

Cheers to @kathrynalicemc for the #PhoenixResistance 

After returning to Britain from Romania, and helping Ollivander craft her current wand, she took up a position in the Phoenix Resistance, doing odd jobs, such as courier and helping muggleborn families move through, via her family home in Aldershot, as the war picked up in intensity. (More 👇🏼⬇)↓

She worked out of a muggle coffee shop near the Leaky Cauldron, only identifiable by a particular drink order specific to the shop. And a particularly charmed Galleon. She frequented it between classes and observation periods, and varying weather conditions, so as to keep her actions unpredictable.

Having Order of the Phoenix protection was difficult, so she mostly coordinated with base security, using codewords for unusual activity. She used her old bedroom for her room, lending out her siblings rooms and the master for the transitioning families to use in between moves.

She carried messages in her school books, transfigured to look like school materials, which she tagged with a certain emblem to help her identify who it was for. She also kept to majority muggle transportation, knowing the ministry could track any magical means. It meant getting anywhere took longer, but she recognised the benefits of being nigh undetectable.

Teddy’s year was very small. There were only 16 students in his year, about the same size as Harry’s class had been.They were the children of desperate Death Eaters, Muggle-Borns, and “accidents.”

It broke Headmistress McGonagall’s heart to see them walk in to the Great Hall, led by Deputy Headmaster, Neville Longbottom, who was equally sad. It was exactly like when Neville’s class walked in that September first years twenty years before. 

And to see young, orphaned Teddy Lupin, walk in looking strikingly like Harry Potter, well it didn’t help her. She couldn’t help but draw the similarities, and it wasn’t just him. There were other kids in situations like Teddy’s, that Susan Bones, Neville, and Harry had all been in when they walked in.

Despite the size of the class, the group had a lot of fun. They were extremely close, as there were so few of them, and could count on each other.
