RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE ( ben barnes ) is looking for their FIRST LOVE in diagon alley. they should be THIRTY-TWO to THIRTY-THREE in letters and look a lot like jon berthnal, simu liu, richard madden, rahul kohli, charlie cox, sebastian stan, anthony mackie, rami malek, rege jean page, lee pace / utp. you don’t need to contact jake before applying, but you can at @rodolphvslestrange​

additional details: they were best friends growing up, you couldn’t see one without the other, and when they both got accepted into hogwarts it was impossible to break the two apart. when you grow up in the world like they did status had meant everything, but when it came to the pair it had never mattered much- they were just excited about what kind of adventures they could get up to together. there was a special bond there, and it would only take a couple of years to realize that rodolphus had felt something more for the other man, and not long after for the other to feel the same. but in the world that they had grown up they knew that whatever they had between each other would never be possible—in the world of betrotheds it was to be expected, but that didn’t mean rodolphus had wanted it. their relationship had been a private thing, only those closest would have known, and it may not have been what rodolphus had expected but he would have done anything for him. but when it came down to it, family had meant everything and more, and when they graduated they had tried to keep whatever was left of their relationship alive before it inevitably tore the two apart, rodolphus was eventually on his way to be head of the department of law enforcement and then soon to be married. rod had stopped all communication, not because he wanted to, but because he had to. they run into each other from time to time at the ministry, and rod always shares a secret glance when they think they aren’t looking, and they might not ever get back what was lost, but as someone once said, it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, and rod was finding that to be true. completely open to interpretation this is just a very brief layover and can be expand upon if needed !

( elizabeth olsen, phoebe tonkin, shelley hennig, crystal reed, leighton meester, kaya scodelario, utp | cis woman / non-binary | utp ) — was that BELLATRIX LESTRANGE passing through diagon alley? yes, i think so… people around them say they remind them of between four and six aesthetics, which i suppose seems to fit that SLYTHERIN alumni. they’re actually pretty TRAIT, TRAIT, and TRAIT for TWENTY-EIGHT to THIRTY-THREE year old, but i wonder if it serves them well when working as a OCCUPATION at/in/for the PLACE/TEAM. have you heard that rumor has it that PUREBLOOD is MARKED with the DEATH EATERS? i wouldn’t have guessed… but this is a conversation we should be having somewhere else.

you’re the eldest sister of the noble house of black with all the responsibilities and the world on your shoulders your parents and sisters adore and look up to you. they know that one day you’re going to make them so proud. where your sisters fall short you take up the mantle with grace because it’s in your blood and name to do so, and if you falter? well, who would ever know? 

bellatrix is the eldest sister of the noble house of black with a personality to match. she had been the golden girl in the family and at school, whatever she had put her mind to she conquered and made it look easy to do. there’s a certain kind of expectation when it comes to being the eldest, and while she loved the house that she had grown up in, she couldn’t wait to be free and live a life of her own. 

it’s late night sleepovers with her sisters in her room, her gentle fingers running through her sister’s hair, making up stories that have the girls ever so intrigued—bellatrix may have been a hard woman to get to know or please but there was one thing that she knew was true: she loved her sisters and her family and would do anything for them. 

even if it meant a betrothal. it may be the curse with being the oldest, someone has to make the path for you to walk down, someone has to be the one to do the things that most wouldn’t ever want to, but like with most things, she took it in stride. 

bellatrix and rodolphus had met in hogwarts, their families had always been close, and while their parents had been pining for them to get married they had done their best to try and push it as much as they could. they both were at different places in their lives, both wanting to be their own people and create their own legacy. there might have been a friendship, this one close bond of being the eldest siblings, the ones that feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, it’s what made them connect. it wouldn’t be a horrible marriage, just a marriage that neither of them had wanted. 

but bellatrix was moving up in her job and rod was on his way to becoming head of the department of law enforcement and they knew that they couldn’t wait it out anymore. their marriage had been a big ceremony, anyone who was anyone had attended, rodolophus had bought the house that he had intended for other reasons but they made it their home. together as a team.

with regulus black gone missing there’s tensions within both parties of their families and where their loyalties lie and the rest? well, that’s up to bellatrix. 

NARCISSA BLACK: as the youngest black sibling it’s easy to admire your older sisters, it was practically in her blood to idolize both of them as a child because they were everything that she had wanted to be growing up. though narcissa wouldn’t lie and say that it was easy to also be envious while understanding the sacrifices that bellatrix had made for her family. despite everything–-narcissa loves her sister and would do just about anything for her if she asked. 

RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE: after his siblings, bellatrix had been the person that he had come out to knowing that one day, at some point, they would eventually be married. rodolphus may be a lot of things but he has a level of respect for bellatrix and while their situation isn’t exactly ideal he would do whatever it takes to keep her safe because while they were a betrothed marriage they’re family now and it’s not something that rodolphus takes lightly. he considers bellatrix his biggest ally in this war. 

ANDROMEDA BLACK: andromeda could mirror bella on the outside to any unfamiliar eye, but their personalities are drastically different. where bellatrix took charge, andromeda cowered in her shadow. bellatrix took on everything the eldest sibling does, and she did so with power. the matriarch that would take the place of any ordinary son a family so prestigious would normally make the winner of it all. andie continues to look up to her sister so much for her drive and confidence, something she still lacks even in adulthood.

( joe dempsie / liam hemsworth / max irons / utp | cis male | he/him ) — was that ALASDAIR WOOD passing through diagon alley? yes, i think so… people around him say he reminds them of four to six aesthetics, which i suppose seems fitting for a HUFFLEPUFF. he’s actually pretty JOCULAR, BRASH, and COWARDLY for a TWENTY-SIX to TWENTY-EIGHT year old, but i wonder if it serves him well when working as a PROFESSIONAL QUIDDITCH PLAYER for the QUIDDITCH TEAM OF YOUR CHOICE. rumour has it that that PUREBLOOD has stayed NEUTRAL? i wouldn’t have guessed… but this is a conversation we should be having somewhere else.

tw for death mention, bullying mention

As the eldest of the Wood children, Alasdair is the only one that can truly remember a time before their mother passed. Things were better then, he's sure - their father's words were kinder, the house was warmer, they actually enjoyed spending time together. When Maude Wood died, it was like everything else died with her.

It was Alasdair who could best observe the changes in his father, being the only way with something to compare them to. Lachlan had always been a domineering sort of man, but suddenly it was if he only saw things in black and white. There were those who were weak, and those who were strong, and it was a matter of choosing which one you wanted to be.

Lachlan saw his next eldest son, Jamie, as weak. He was a sensitive little boy, lacking the Wood family's proclivity for quidditch, and he'd frequently let him have it for being such a sissy. Alasdair looked at the way Lachlan treated his brother, and he saw that it was eat or be eaten. He took to teasing him, and then bullying him, a facade of masculinity for the sake of his father's hard-earned approval.

When the time came, Hogwarts was easy for him - he was a clever young man, more-so than people gave him credit for, and by now he knew how best to install himself at the top of a social hierarchy. It was about establishing himself as strong, and picking on the weak, and doing so in a way that isn't strictly obvious. He joined the Hufflepuff quidditch team, becoming captain in his fifth year, and also served as a prefect, eventually becoming head boy. The world was his, and still it wasn't good enough for his father.

Out of school, he joined up with the professional quidditch league, as it was always expected he would. He's a fixture in Witch Weekly, a regular fan favourite, but the pressure he feels is starting to weigh heavily on his shoulders. The trouble is, he doesn't know how to be anything other than what he is - hell, it's probably too late for him to change.

JAMIE WOOD ( connor swindells ) is looking for their YOUNGER SISTER in diagon alley. they should be TWENTY to TWENTY-ONE and look a lot like kaitlyn dever, jessica barden, utp. you don’t need to contact emily before applying.

additional details: the youngest of the three wood siblings and the only girl, bridie wood was largely spared from the worst of her father's mercurial temperament. her outgoing personality and natural prowess on the quidditch field firmly cemented her status as lachlan's favourite, while keeping her naive to the complexities of his relationships with both of her brothers. as the youngest seeker in a century for [a quidditch team of your choice], she continues to make her father proud with each trophy she brings home.
