Wanted to include a photo of the parents alongside the kids, so here's my take on their appearances as of 2008. Knowing me, some stuff might get changed up later on, but for now I'm happy with these results.
The Copper Family
Well before the first Beyond Hogwarts leaks, I've always envisioned Ben becoming an Auror and growing a full-on dad beard once the kids were born. While he's mellowed down considerably from his edgy teen days, he's still more than capable of getting dangerous if he has to.
Ismelda herself would use her Doll Magic and make a business out of selling custom dolls. True to her roots, she'd also use them to scare off any rude kids and annoying neighbors. She especially enjoys messing with the local Karens.
Sometimes people around them are left wondering how the two ever got together given how drastically different they appear to be.
Info on their kids will be here
The Celestia-Winger Family
So fun fact, Talbott's height actually stops at Reina's shoulders, but I made him taller for the pic cuz otherwise it'd look really funny to me.
Sometime after getting married, they considered having no more than two kids to see how things would pan out. The universe had other plans and they instead had their quads lol It was a nice surprise, and they cherish their baby birds.
Reina works at her bakery and after the Battle of Hogwarts, Talbott switched from being an Auror himself to becoming a Healer. Wanting to be there for his family, he wanted to have a career that wouldn't put his life at risk anymore.
Info on their kids will be here
Ricardo De Los Santos and Naomi McDaniels
The two didn't really get the chance to become a family as Naomi had Ascended into an Angel and had to reach the Departure shortly after Rel was born. As it marked the end of her human lifespan, she was essentially dead.
The pair met in Las Vegas in 1993. Ricardo went there to get over Chester dumping him, while Naomi had been there with her group of "friends" that quickly ditched her. Deep down she knew that her time was coming to an end, so she was there to live out her final days as much as possible.
The two enjoyed each other's company and hooked up almost instantly. Thanks to some drunken shenanigans, they find out they were expecting. They decided to confide in each other and told their biggest secrets, with Naomi learning that he was a Wizard, and Ricardo realizing she had Ascended and was on her final days as a human.
Her Departure gets delayed due to her pregnancy, and they're aware she'll pass on once the baby is born. In the year they got to know each other, they grew very close. She got the chance to hold their daughter and gave Ricardo the idea to name her after his late older sister Rel. Ricardo would see her off once the Departure was initiated.
He always remembers her fondly and has a memorial for her at his home. Rel was told about her mom once she was old enough, and loves her all the same.
While most of their core details remain the same, I gave them an overdue update to reflect the current changes to the au. As a whole:
The kids were born in the Three Broomsticks during the Battle of Hogwarts (long story lol)
Because of their vast Magic, they were approved to start Hogwarts one year early, so they're a year younger than most of their classmates during the events of Magic Awakened.
Like Reina, they're dual enrolled at Vytaria, so they only take core classes at Hogwarts.
They inherited their mother's ability to detect people's true emotions and intentions, so they're well aware of who to avoid.
Their individual info will be below.
Corvo Winger
He/Him
Slytherin
The music kid
Oldest of the four. Due to the Chimerism that runs in his mother's side of the family, he fused with what would've been their 5th sibling.
He's known to give of a very cool kid vibe, is usually calm and collected and easy to get along with.
Corvo is Narcoleptic and prone to sleeping a lot. He can still retain info while asleep, which proves to be a big help during classes.
From an early age he has always loved music, and manifests Symphony Magic when he's older. His spells are said to have a musical beat to them.
His signature green discs are created from Magic, allowing him to create beats that enhance the spells of his own as well as allies, and can disorient opponents.
Explored different musical instruments, and his favorites are the violin and piano.
Ava Winger
She/Her
Gryffindor
The athletic kid
Second oldest of the four
Loves food and is almost always snacking on something in between meals. Would manifest Food Magic as one of her types.
Was always the most energetic of her siblings, and was already fast as soon as she could crawl.
During early childhood, she played all kinds of sports. Her top favorite is skating, and she was taught by her mom how to transfigure her shoes into skates. Ava is usually seen skating around the castle.
Bonded with Robyn almost immediately. The two would then try out for Quidditch in their second year, and Ava herself becomes a Chaser.
Raven Winger
She/Her
Ravenclaw
The baking kid
Second youngest of the four.
Raven was born on the Autism Spectrum and her biggest focus at an early age was baking. She often helped her mom out in the kitchen as soon as she was old enough to, and would manifest Food Magic.
At Hogwarts, she often spends most of her downtime in the kitchens baking.
Thanks to her quiet and reserved nature, she found herself becoming good friends with Daniel. She'd often give him sweets during times he'd stay up late brewing potions.
She often sells her sweets to any classmate or staff member interested, much like Reina once did during her school days. Named her mini business The Witching Flour.
Altair Winger
He/Him
Hufflepuff
The art kid
The youngest of the four
The most sensitive of his siblings, and was always prone to crying whether he was sad or happy.
Always loved drawing for as long as he could remember, and his favorites were markers. As he gets older, he loves to work with all kinds of inks, manifesting Ink Magic.
He's often seen with his sketchbook and ink case. At school, he becomes fast friends with Lottie thanks to their shared love of art.
Combines Ink and Paper Magic to create colorful paper sculptures. He'll sometimes leave smaller creations around the castle and grounds for folks to find.
Behold! Talbott and Reina's adorable little babies, with slight upgrades to their designs. From left to right, oldest to youngest: Corvo, Ava, Raven and Altair. They're 2-3 years old here.
The munchkins were born in Hogsmeade during the Battle of Hogwarts (long story). They're an energetic bunch of happy and healthy kiddos. All of them inherited Reina's Empathic Sense and Talbott's love of bird puns. The colorful pins they're wearing is a protective charm known as an Aegis.
In addition to keeping them safe from danger and letting the parents know where they're at, the Aegis also keeps their developing Magic under control, preventing potential outbursts when out in public. Individual profiles will be below.
Corvo Winger
The oldest of the four. Per Caelestis tradition, he fused with their original 5th sibling in the womb, resulting in his heterochromia and skin tone. The calmest and most levelheaded of his siblings, he’s often seen as the problem-solver. Corvo is prone to sleeping a lot due to being Narcoleptic. He enjoys creating music and his favorite color is green.
Ava Winger
The second oldest of the four. The most headstrong and courageous of her siblings, Ava has no problem fighting back against anyone she feels has wronged her and her family, be it other kids and even adults. She’s also the most honest and proud of it. She enjoys sports and her favorite color is red.
Raven Winger
The second youngest of the four. The quietest and most independent of her siblings, Raven often prefers to do things her way. Raven is on the Autism Spectrum, and therefore avoids making eye contact with most people, and is sensitive to loud noises. Her Familiar Archimedes takes the form of an owl plush that has a satin texture. She enjoys puzzles, history, and baking and her favorite color is blue.
Altair Winger
The youngest of the four. The most empathic and sensitive of his siblings, Altair is prone to crying a lot whether he’s sad or happy. Altair isn’t fond of confrontation and prefers if things could be resolved as peacefully as possible. He will fight back if he truly needs to. He enjoys creating art, especially with ink, and his favorite color is yellow.
Behold my lousy attempt at depicting Talbott in his 40s. LMAO Depressed Jesus looking bitchass.
Part of the Winger family 2020-2021 quarantine shenanigans. After being severely injured on a mission, Talbott's been at home resting for several months now. One of his hobbies was to give social media a chance. He regretted it shortly afterward. Pic was taken by his oldest son Corvo.
I had to draw this the moment the idea formed or otherwise I'd forget about it entirely lol
Talbott: All of this technology and all of these scientific advancements that prove otherwise, yet there are people out there that think the Earth is FLAT???
-As a Ravenclaw, this hurts me.
-As a human with a functioning brain, this hurts me.
As I wasn't able to get around to drawing a new pic to celebrate the quads' birthday (May 9), I figured I'd at least compile some past drawings of them I made into one post. They've gone through a few tweaks over time, and their latest designs to date are on the fourth pic. Their adult look above is also outdated now, and their updated appearances are in the works. A brief profile of each one will be under the break below!
Altogether
They were born in May 9, 1998, seven days after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Rowan is their favorite aunt, and they lovingly call her Auntie Rowan.
All of them inherited the same Empath abilities as Reina, allowing them to read the emotions of those around them. Like their mother, all of them can see through deception.
Like Reina, none of them eat poultry as it makes them nauseous.
All of them are LGBT+, discovering their respective orientations during their teens. The family's love is unconditional, and they're happily supportive.
All of them are Animagus, however they didn't go through the steps to become one. As Reina became an Animagus thanks to her grandmother's experimental potion (which skipped all the steps and granted the form immediately), it was believed the trait was passed along to the quads. Their respective forms manifested when they were 8, all being a type of bird.
Like their parents, the quads were among those that received Sacrificial Protection from Harry during the Battle of Hogwarts.
They also inherited the birthmark of their ancestral clan, the Mark of the Celestial.
They attended Muggle school during early childhood, and soon began displaying higher levels of magic than most magic children their age. Because of this, they were approved to attend Hogwarts one year early, starting their first year on September 1st, 2008.
Corvo Winger
Oldest of the four.
Animagus form is a crow with the same heterochromia.
Often slept a lot when he was younger, more than usual for a kid. Later on it was discovered that he has Narcolepsy, and has been on treatment since then.
While in Hogwarts, he works with several other classmates in creating a spell to allow muggle objects to function inside Hogwarts.
Often described as a cool and chill person, and is the easiest to get along with. Just don't mess with his siblings or his friends, and don't try stealing his things.
Discovered he was Bi during his 4th year. He's quite proud of it.
Loving music from a young age, he aspired to have a future career as a musician. Throughout his time at Hogwarts, he often hosted rave-like parties that became a hit with other students.
After Hogwarts, he became a well known DJ and music producer, being a hit the magic and muggle communities. He takes on the stage name of Talon.
His shows are very spectacular, as he secretly combines his magic with his music to create some highly amazing visuals.
His music is a mix of New Age and Hardstyle.
His favorite instrument is the piano.
Has a beautiful singing voice but is very shy about it.
Ava Winger
Second oldest.
Her Animagus form is a Golden Eagle like Talbott.
From a young age she proved to be very athletic. She was always the most energetic of the quads, and getting into sports proved to be a very good outlet for her.
Was the one that physically fought bullies during their childhood years at a muggle school. Classmates hailed her as a hero.
This carried over to Hogwarts, where she often fought anyone that dared to mess with her siblings and friends.
Don't touch her hair without her permission or you'll be on the receiving end of a beatdown.
She's something of a daredevil, and enjoys taking high risks in sports, such as pulling off very tricky moves. No risk, no reward, right? After Hogwarts she took up skydiving as a hobby during her downtime.
Attempted to try out for Quidditch as a first year but was declined. She wasted no time and tried again the following year, and makes it onto the Gryffindor team as one of their Chasers. She remained part of the team for the entirety of her time at school.
Realized she was a lesbian when the time came for the Celestial Ball.
Realizing how much she truly loved Quidditch, when the time came to consider future careers as the O.W.L.s were approaching, Ava was dead set on becoming a professional Quidditch player.
Near the end of her final year, her talents got the attention of the Montrose Magpies, who were looking for a new Chaser. Not only were they Ava's favorite team, but she was ecstatic when learning she made the team. She was officially a member by the summer of 2015, and continues to play in the present.
Jena Winger
Second youngest.
Her Animagus form is a Raven.
Never responded to her name when she was younger. It was later discovered that Jena was born on the Autism Spectrum.
Finds loud noises to be overwhelming. Has since gotten around it by wearing noise cancelling headphones when necessary. She eventually adapts as she gets older.
Loves her owl plushie Princess Feathers, which doubles as a ventriloquist puppet. She received it as a gift from Talbott for her 6th birthday.
Developed an interest in ventriloquism around this time, and after enough practice and dedication, she became very skilled at it before the age of 10. She preferred to keep it as a hobby rather than entering contests and such.
While incredibly sweet and polite, Jena is also very honest and straightforward. She also has a snarky sense of humor, and likes bringing fun laughs to her classmates.
Loves to explore new things, and briefly took up Quidditch in her 3rd year, playing as Ravenclaw's temporary Seeker for that year's final 2 matches. While she enjoyed it, she was fine stepping down from the team afterward.
Realized she enjoyed baking during 4th year, and began to help her brother Altair in running the school's mini baking business, much like Reina did back then.
Discovered she was Pan during 5th year, and dated a few folks during her remaining time at school.
Jena took an interest in working alongside her mother in the family's bakery, and did just that after graduating from Hogwarts. She still works there in the present with Reina.
Altair Winger
The youngest.
His Animagus form is a Magpie that retains his eye color. His earring contains one of his feathers.
As a child he was always the most sensitive and the most prone to crying, and much of it still lingers in the present. He's a guy not afraid to show his emotions, and tries to encourage his male students to do the same.
Although he's the youngest, he's always looked out for his siblings, especially Jena as kids liked picking on her during their childhood. This protection remains during their time at Hogwarts.
He's a fierce duelist and displays great skill in Dark Magic. He was taught to use it ethically and only as a last resort.
He's equally skilled when it comes to Jinxes, Hexes and certain Curses, and was not above using them against bullies if the situation called for it.
Like Reina, he baked a lot for classmates and started up the same mini baking business she once had during her school years. He was joined by Jena later on, and they ran it together until graduation.
Discovered he was gay some time before the Celestial Ball took place in his 4th year. When the time for O.W.L.s rolled around, Altair realized he wanted to become an Auror like his father. After Hogwarts he reached his goal. He was often paired up with Talbott on quite a handful of missions, helping take down the remaining Death Eaters that were still in hiding.
In 2019, Altair developed an interest in becoming a teacher, specifically in Defense Against the Dark Arts, as he felt he could use his experiences an an Auror to teach the students more efficiently.
He soon met all of the requirements and became a professor, taking over for Ricardo (the Jacob of this AU) after the latter stepped down.
if you were to continue past part 3, what would reina's role be in parts 4, 5, and 6?
(Sent 5 months ago...lol sorry!)
Pictured above (left to right):
Reina in Stardust Crusaders - Age 15 (1989)
Reina in Diamond Is Unbreakable - Age 25 (1999)
Reina in Golden Wind - Age 27 (2001)
JJBA Pt. 4 - Diamond Is Unbreakable
Taking place in summer 1999 and by then she’d not only be running her bakery, but her quads would’ve just turned 1 year old a bit prior to that. She’s a very busy mama by then XD If she truly needed to be in Morioh, she’d bring her entire family with her. She'd be so motherly to Josuke and friends. Expect some babysitting shenanigans if the Morioh crew has to watch the quads for a few hours.
JJBA Pt. 5 - Golden Wind
For Part 5, I like the idea that she’s just travelling to Italy with her family for vacation, but is secretly meeting up with Polnareff and the others to deal with the stuff going on there. Their paths would eventually cross with the Bucciarati Gang, leading to different outcomes, being an AU and all.
As for Part 6, I have absolutely 0 idea at this point in time.
When your girl’s birthday is also on Valentine’s Day. It’s all good tho cuz just spending time together is perfect enough. The cute gift was the best part.
BONUS:
Their kiddos love that story so much. They’re like 3-4 here, so it’s around the year 2001.
Of course she’d still have the gift. It’s one of her absolute favorites, after all. I didn’t even plan to add these last 2 parts. They just happened on their own XD
So yesterday May 9th was the birthday of the Bird Quads, Reina and Talbott’s future children, and I was determined enough to make something for it that it broke me out of my current art block. The kiddos were born exactly one week after the Battle of Hogwarts, so as of yesterday they’d be 22. You can learn more about them here if interested!
So what would they be up to after Hogwarts?
💚Corvo💚: Though he had quite a knack for coming up with spells, including a Conversion Charm that allowed Muggle tech to function within the school, his career path became the most non-magic of the 4. Sticking to his passion for music, after graduating he became a DJ and music producer under the name Talon, specializing in hardstyle music. His shows are often said to be one of the most spectacular thanks to him incorporating his magic into awesome visual effects. He’s a huge hit with Muggles and Muggleborns.
❤️Ava❤️: Always the most athletic of the quads, she played almost every sport at school during their early childhood. At Hogwarts, she immediately took up Quidditch and joined the team in her Second Year as a Chaser much like her mom Reina did. Thanks to lots of encouragement from friends and family, Ava took up Quidditch professionally after graduating Hogwarts by playing as Chaser for the Dominican Quidditch Team.
💙Jena💙: She didn’t have huge career goals like her siblings did, going as far as not caring much for her O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s, doing just well enough to take the classes she was still interested in. After graduating, she decided to work in the family bakery, and remains perfectly content there. She doesn’t mind interacting with customers, but likes working in the kitchens better. She likes inventing new recipes in her down time.
💛Altair💛: Followed in his father Talbott’s footsteps and became an Auror himself. Having a talent for Dark Magic (ethically), he would often be assigned to do undercover as well as the more dangerous missions that involved tracking down and arresting Death Eaters still out in hiding. Every now and then he would serve as a substitute teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts when Lupin wasn’t available.
