BIOGRAPHY

Genevieve was born on the Nott family estate and lived there until she was five. She has vague memories of the expansive gardens and long hallways that opened into large rooms. She remembers the pretty dresses her mother made her wear and the smiles her spinning around in them brought to the face of her usually reserved father. Her first signs of magic were also in the estate. A rather bad temper tantrum at dinner sent her plate of food flying across the room. It was also the birthplace of her younger brother. She wasn’t fond of the strange new wrinkly addition to the family at first, but soon grew to love him.

The bubble of her life couldn’t last forever. Her father still had the remnants of war stuck to him. The once respected Nott family was cast into the muck of society. She was mostly shielded from the influence of her grandfather’s actions, but it was only getting harder as she got older. The looks she never noticed as an infant, upset her as a toddler and young child who didn’t understand. People said such mean things about her father, the man she only knew for loving her and her mother and brother. It reached the point where she didn’t want to leave the house. She didn’t like strangers. Her parents could no longer let her be affected. They packed up their belongings and moved to the United States, her mother’s home, for a fresh start.

New York became her home. Genevieve thrived in the bustling city. She learned independence and the need to be assertive. She also learned the need for secrecy. The wizarding community was far more integrated with the muggle population, or no-maj population as she soon learned was the American term. All it took was another child laughing at her once over the term muggle for her to adopt it. The integration fueled her views of love and tolerance. Her father had kept his opinions neutral, allowing Genevieve to draw her own conclusions. Her friends were often a mix of both no-maj and wixen. It still took her family by surprise when her first boyfriend was a no-maj even if it only lasted a summer.

School was a mixed basket for Genevieve. She loved Ilvermorny, and the freedom to use magic, and learning everything she could. She didn’t like being away from her family, and the city, and her no-maj friends. It was a delicate and bittersweet balance. She excelled in academics, but struggled making friends. People often found her intimidating, and she never fully understood that. She had no problem speaking her mind, and was fiercely stubborn. It didn’t help that she had a knack for dueling magic. She had a few close friends, and learned to not care about being popular. School was also the time for experimenting, and she was known to go through boyfriends and girlfriends, refusing to settle with anyone for more than a couple of months at a time.

Genevieve discovered a love of politics when she was thirteen. She picked up interest in the world around her and it bled into an interest in the powers that governed it. She wanted to know all about the laws and lawmakers that dictated her life. It led her to activism, pushing to make a difference for the greater good, and inspired her to write. It wasn’t long before she turned the writing into a self-published blog and freelance journalism. She lived on her own after graduating and supported herself through her writing.

It was on a whim that she applied for the open position at The Daily Prophet. She had only been to England for a few holidays since the move when she five. Still, she had kept herself informed on English wizarding politics, and occasionally wrote about it. She was surprised when they asked her for an interview, and hired her on the spot. They had gained quite the reputation during the war, and her fresh, and progressive perspective was wanted to help the paper stay with the times.

The Nott estate once more became filled with life. She had originally wanted to rent a flat in the city, but her parents insisted she stay at the family home. It would be easy enough to apparate, or floo into the city. They saw no sense in her spending her money on a flat when she already had a home. Genevieve drew the line at them sending a house elf with her. She was perfectly capable of doing her own cleaning and cooking. The live-in caretaker that moved into the estate upon their departure could stay to continue with the upkeep of the grounds and estate. She wouldn’t be using the whole house after all. One wing was more than enough for the twenty-one year old.

She had to prove herself. Years of experience in the United States meant nothing to her advisor. He gave her puff pieces for months, much to her annoyance, before she convinced him that she could handle larger stories. She fought tooth and nail to be a correspondent at the Ministry, and to be allowed to do more research heavy pieces. It took a couple years, but she established herself. She earned a reputation for being direct in her questioning, and pulling no punches in her writing. She was thorough in her research, making her trustworthy. She also had the ability to explain even the most complex of issues in a way that anyone could understand. She was formidable, and she knew it. Nothing would hold her back.

FACTS

She is obsessed with coffee. Her day does not truly begin until she has had a cup of coffee. She usually has several throughout the day. She takes her coffee black. Despite her love of coffee, she does not like coffee flavored things.

Her accent is a mix. She spent the first five years picking up a British accent, but her time in the States got rid of most of it. Still, her father was a huge influence on her. She kept some of the accent because of hearing how he spoke, and she picked up plenty of his terms. Her accent was mostly American when she moved back five years ago, but it has been becoming more British over the years.

Genevieve loves to paint. She has a room dedicated to painting, filled with supplies and used to store all her paintings. She does often paint outside as well. It is her favorite hobby besides creative writing and reading

Potential connections can be found here. However, they are only a few suggestions and I am always open to other suggestions, or figuring out something new together through plotting. The best place to reach out to me for plotting is discord - Meg#4550 - since I prefer it on mobile. Of course, I am still available on this blog as well. I look forward to plotting and writing with everyone!

[ofhesperus]

heyo it me, bonnie out here finally writing his intro after watching below deck: mediterranean. anyways, i’m 9teen, in the est, i use she/her pronouns ! this is my trash son edward ( who only goes by eddie okay ), and what a mess he is ! read about him below the cut & like this if ur interested in plotting ! 

「 daniel sharman, thirty, cismale + he/him 」 ☆ is that EDWARD SKEETER spotted in DIAGON ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite SELFLESS, but also SNARKY, it makes sense given they are a JOURNALIST. their patronus is a RAVEN. morning tea, knowing smiles & the sound of a violin. + FOREIGNER’S GOD by HOZIER make me think of them.

background 

born the grandson of legendary journalist rita skeeter only a year before the battle of hogwarts ( if i did my math correctly - i probably didn’t ) it’s no surprise that he inherited his grandmother’s...curiosity let’s call it to be polite.

he never had a father figure around growing as a kid, never knowing who his father even was, and frankly, he never cared. his mum was just enough for him, and believe me when i say he ADORES his mother + grandmother 

anyways, he had a great childhood and from a young age, his grandparents were heavily involved and when his mother was out of town for work and whatnot, he spent his years on their farm where he would run about, investigating anything and everything he could

and then of course he attended hogwarts and to his mother’s surprise, he was sorted into slytherin ( she was convinced her son would be in ravenclaw tbh ) and after the war? slytherin wasn’t necessarily the best house to be sorted in, but he frankly did not care. he was proud of it tbh

also not gonna front, he most likely was a Little Shit at hogwarts, causing all sorts of problems in class, thinking he was smarter than the professors bc of all the reading he had done in his spare time ( he most definitely said “well i am smarter than you, professor” a couple times )

i can also see him getting into a bunch of fights, maybe he was pressing too hard in some situations, wanting to know the scoop but also he wouldn’t take any type of slander about the people / things he cared about. someone said something about his house? he’d throw a quick, harmless lil hex. but if someone said something about his family? he’d throw hands on SIGHT. 

anyways, after hogwarts, ofc eddie followed his grandmother’s + mother’s footsteps and became a reporter at the daily prophet. he wasn’t in the gossip column like rita, but he became moreso of an investigative journalist. so if something went on and there wasn’t a lot of news about it but there should have been, you bet eddie was around there somewhere with a quill and paper

fast forward to now, and he’s still being a lil shit, bothering people for the inside scoops of situations, and he’s charismatic, so so charismatic and he just ... uses that to get what he wants most of the time

tl;dr: eddie skeeter is annoying pos. that’s it, that’s the tweet. 

wanted connections

people he went to school with ! give me ppl he most likely got into a fight with one time, old housemates, whatever u feel

probably some coworkers

and i love me some messy exes ! this is open to all genders and just give me someone that maybe broke his heart/he broke theirs ( probably he broke theirs i’m so sorry )

also i feel like he’d probably live with a flatmate so??? do with that what u will

basically anything and everything, just like this & i’ll message u for plots 

my d*scord is the jo bros photoshoot™#2933 in case that works best for u <3

「 haley lu richardson, twenty - six, cisfemale + she/her 」 ☆ is that EVELYN “EVIE” WOOD spotted in DIAGON ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite TALKATIVE, but also PROBLEMATIC, it makes sense given they are PROFESSIONAL QUIDDITCH PLAYER and their patronus is a WILD RABBIT. your sibling cackling at the first time you’re flung off your broom —- knees scraped and eyes brimming with tears. of blurting out answers and lacking the right words ; honesty spewing out like a broken faucet. the first time you get it right and your team hoists you onto their shoulders chanting your name over and over and over. + SAINT HONESTY by SARA BAREILLES make me think of them.

BOY HOWDY ! if u haven’t Bullied me in the discord yet , i’m jo nd im eggcited 2 write w y’all !!!!!!! i’m gonna start with my homegirl ... EVIE WOOD ( - :

A B O U T

evelyn puddlemere wood -- yes , you did read that right -- was born to oliver and hera wood. well , her mum goes by mclaggen again , but that’s neither here nor there. the divorce comes up later. see , growing up , her family was happy. the proof is on the walls. there’s a framed issue of spella weekly hung in her dad’s country house ; the cover is a paparazzi shot of her dad , carrying her off the pitch in a babybjörn. QUIDDITCH STAR , OLIVER WOOD : A FAMILY MAN ! it’s picturesque. until it isn’t. 

evie remembers the summer she turns eleven , her mom taking her shopping in diagon alley. that’s the year it all changes. bright eyes spy her dad on the cover of the daily prophet : OLIVER WOOD & EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE SORDID LOVE AFFAIR ! her mom grabs her hand tighter , pulling her into madam malkin’s without another word. people forget about it eventually , the “ affair , ” or so it was. she never bothers asking for the truth. 

the thing is , true or not : it never stops being about her dad. when she makes the team in her third year , the other gryffindors roll their eyes , saying , “ i would be that good if my dad were oliver bloody wood , too ! ” and again , in sixth year , when she finally gets to pin that shiny C to her robes , when they try to praise her , it’s about him again : “ nothing less from a wood ! ” and then , after seventh year concludes and she’s got an offer from the appleby arrows , she hears someone whisper , “ wasn’t their old coach with puddlemere before ? ”

it sort of goes downhill from there. her time with the arrows doesn’t last too long -- after a year , she’s traded off to the chudley cannons. they make it pretty close to representing england in the world cup , but lose out. sometime after , her parents get divorced. you would think if they managed to work past the said “ sordid love affair , ” they’d manage to work out whatever the blip was , but no dice. things start to look up eventually , but it hits its peak when she gets an offer from the harpies. this season , evie is on the starting line - up for the harpies as a beater.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

evie’s the type of gal to give you a toothache , or a headache , or just a general ache bc she’s a lot to deal with. she’s the kind of person you only want in doses because she can be Kind of Dumb bc her head is filled with quidditch

she’s all laughter and grins and making sure it’s all a good time. she’s not a party girl , per se , but she’s a fun girl. 

more often than not , evie finds herself rambling and going on tangent after tangent. unfortunately , evie doesn’t usually Think before she speaks and sometimes can be overly harsh or say the wrong thing and then she just feels so bad she doesn’t stop apologizing

CONNECTIONS

( 1 ) SIBLING ; preferably named oliver wood jr. , ofc its up to you. i will love our last edition to the woods regardless 

TEAMMATES !!!!!!!!! AKA OTHER HARPIES !!!! GIRLS SUPPORTING GIRLS ? A SPICY RIVALRY ? I WANT IT ALL!

EXES IDK I WANT SOMETHING SPICY

BF !!!!!! IDK I WANT A CUTE AND SOFT CUDDLE BUG 

OH DID I MENTION I JUST WANNA PLOT ? COME THRU N TALK 2 ME !

[orionxstrix]

「 richard harmon, twenty-five, trans man + he/him 」 ☆ is that ORION STRIX spotted in KNOCKTURN ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite INDEPENDENT, but also CAUTIOUS, it makes sense given they are a CURSE BREAKER and their patronus is a RAVEN. the sound of thunder keeping you up at night, morning sun gently waking you up, dancing to old music as if no one is watching + IF I HAD A HEART by FEVER RAY makes me think of them.

𝐼𝒻 𝐼 𝒽𝒶𝒹 𝒶 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝐼 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊....

+ Orion Strix was born in Siglufjörður, a small fishing village in the north of Iceland. It was a really small and an isolated village, with no wizarding family anywhere near him or his family.

+ His family had never really been particularly good nor strong wizards. His parents translated runes in ancient texts from some of the great Icelandic wizards. While his older brother was born as a squib and went into a muggle school. 

+ It became quite obvious early in his life that he was absolutely nothing like his family. He was a powerful wizard that could potentially do something with his life other than staying in the old fishing village translating scripts. 

+ Since the moment his parents figured out about his magic they planned out his life for him. He was supposed to go to a good wizarding school and then he was supposed to work as a wandmaker, curse breaker or even a professional Quidditch player. It didn’t really matter what he wanted to do. It didn’t matter that he would much rather run his very own bookstore. No his fate were set in stone according to his parents. 

+ Then, of course, there was the biggest difference between them that seemed to be the last nail in the coffin of their family. His gender and sexuality. The fact that he was born a girl but knew that it wasn’t right, that he should have been born as a guy. 

+ He never really came out to his parents, at least not officially. He had been insisting that he was NOT a girl since he was a little child and he would throw a fit whenever his parents would try to push him to wear dresses or grow his hair long and beautiful. Eventually, he would physically transition with magic without properly informing his parents about it because he simply knew they wouldn’t let him do it if they had any choice because having a gay transgender son wasn’t part of the great plan they had made for him. 

+ Even if he always seemed to do exactly the opposite of what his parents wanted for him he still wanted to please them, he still wanted to make them proud of him. So after he graduated from Durmstrang he became a spell breaker as a last-ditch of effort of being able to make them proud.

+ But of course it wasn’t enough, nothing was ever enough for them and finally, he accepted that and when he was 22 years old he moved to England. For the first time in his life, he felt all the weight on his shoulders lifted and now that he’s away from his family can finally be free. He could even potentially open his own bookstore! 

𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓎

+ Orion truthfully can be bit rough around the edges. When you first meet him he could seem like a cocky asshole but when you get to know him you can tell that he’s nothing like that. 

+ He’s actually pretty shy and insecure and he would much rather spend his time locked up in the library reading than going out. 

𝒲𝒶𝓃𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓃𝑒𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈

+ Roommate/s: Orion has been living in England for 3 years and even if he probably could afford his own place he feels safer sharing an apartment with a friend of his.

+ Friends: He literally adores his friends so he needs plenty of them!

+ Ex friends/ Ex boyfriends: Something that could have ended really badly and perhaps they’re not completely over it yet?

 + ANYTHING!! I’m literally open to everything so please if you have any ideas let me know!!

「 wong yukhei, twenty, cismale + he/him 」 ☆ is that IVAN GREYBACK spotted in KNOCKTURN ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite JOCULAR, but also WITHDRAWN, it makes sense given they are a TATTOO ARTIST and their patronus is a HYENA. the light of a full moon disappearing behind some clouds, when your boggart manifests as yourself,  nodding your head yes but screaming on the inside, wearing a leather jacket in any kind of weather, working with a cigarette braced in between your lips  + KILLING IN THE NAME OF by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE make me think of them. mala, 20, cst, she/her.

hellooo!! i’m mala and this is my slightly messed up but secretly has a heart of gold baby, ivan. below is just some basic info about him and possible connections. if you’re feeling up to plotting anything feel free to give this a like or hmu! 

the basics; 

name: ivan greyback

birthplace: hong kong

birthdate: june 27th 

zodiac sign: cancer 

ethnicity: half chinese, half thai 

occupation: tattoo artist at markus scarrs indelible tattoos 

hogwarts house: slytherin

patronus: hyena

languages spoken: cantonese, mandarin, thai, english 

backstory; 

ivan was a very small child when he was bitten by a werewolf that happened to be turned by fenrir greyback. his maker followed fenrir’s philosophies to the tee, believing werewolves should be turned young and brought up to hate wizards. the only major problem was, ivan was a wizard himself. 

as time went on, raising a child who possessed both magical and wolf-like abilities became too much. there really was no controlling ivan. left with no other choice, ivan’s parents did whatever they could to contact his maker and pleaded with them to take him. 

ivan’s maker was more than happy to take him into the greyback pack, but for none of the right reasons. they kind of treated him like an experiment and often used the fact that ivan’s parents had given him up against him. it’s like they wanted him to hate wizard-kind even though he was one.  it was all very fucked up. but ivan was given food, a place to rest his head, and guidance during his unbearable transitions. so, he stayed. 

currently;  

depending on the situation, ivan can be very mixed in his personality. he often feels trapped, like a prisoner to his own body and living situation. this causes him to be more withdrawn, more hesitant around people he’s just met. he knows these are different times, but being a werewolf still comes with a stigma. not to mention, he comes from a pack that was “descended” from one of the most notorious werewolves of all time. he constantly lives in fear of what people will say or do once they find out.

 he currently works as a tattoo artist in a shop in knockturn alley. it’s ideal for now, as knockturn alley usually draws in a more undesirable and outcasted crowd. there, he feels like he can be more of himself and often jokes around and has fun with customers. he loves getting creative, putting his own flair and his own personal struggles into his artwork. 

however, when a full moon is coming he’s often nowhere to be found. he fears his wolf-like nature and often hides away during his changes, fearful of what he might do to others and what they might do to him. 

he really wishes he could just be comfortable with who he is. he faces judgement in the wizarding world for being a werewolf and judgement by his own pack for being a wizard. there are very few people for him to look to for guidance and reassurance. remus lupin would’ve been nice, but ivan still feels guilty considering it was fenrir greyback who turned him. to this day, ivan’s boggart still manifests as himself. 

quirks; 

loves rare meats and steaks, but is kind of embarrassed about it. always sits in the back corners of pubs or restaurants, likes to be hidden from view

was almost sorted into hufflepuff, but his sense of self-preservation won out so he was placed into slytherin instead 

most magical creatures do not like him since he’s kind of seen as a predator. so, he spends a lot of time in the magical menagerie, trying to improve his relationship with some of the creatures and gain their trust. there’s only a select few that will tolerate him, but it’s a start. 

his patronus is a hyena. it’s symbolic because he is always laughing and joking around the ones he trusts, but there is a dangerous edge to him. aka being a werewolf and all. 

connections; 

childhood friends (open) - ivan was very reserved even back in his hogwarts days. these two weren’t necessarily the best of friends, but they sat together during meals, worked together in classes, etc. might’ve drifted apart after graduation 

regular (open) - someone who ivan’s done lots of tattoos on, they’ve probably developed a sort of bond by now, might even go for drinks together sometimes 

bad reputation (open) - things might be a little awkward and hostile between these characters due to all the past atrocities fenrir greyback has committed, not that ivan is anything like him, despite belonging to his pack

unlikely friends (open) - kind of a spin off of the bad reputation wc, you’d expect these two to have bad blood or some kind of like family rivalry, but instead they’ve looked past it and become friends

hook up (open) - ivan’s normally pretty shy when it comes to these things, but when there’s a full moon coming,  we all know how that goes

「 reese witherspoon, 45, female + she/her 」 ☆ is that ASTORIA MALFOY spotted in DIAGON ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite DETERMINED, but also MANIPULATIVE, it makes sense given they are a HEALER and their patronus is a HEDGEHOG. mint ice cream in summer, dirt under manicured nails, pressed flowers in classic literature + JACK AND JILL by KATIE HERZIG make me think of them.

Bullet Bio

Family comes before all for Astoria. She was raised with a strong sense of duty and loyalty. Friends come and go, but family is forever. The motto has been etched into her.

Her parents put pressure on their daughters to be the ideal pureblood specimens. They were raised with impeccable manners, and private tutoring, pushed to excel in everything.

However, they never encouraged her to pursue anything. Her role in life would be that of a supportive wife to a pureblood husband. She had aspirations to be a healer, but would never defy her parents. It created self-doubt, and inner-conflict, as she doesn’t see herself in her parent’s image.

She loves singing as an outlet for any mood. It is not uncommon to find her quietly singing to herself. She was too timid to sing in front of people outside family and close friends.

The gardens were often where she was found. All the plants were put to memory. She greatly prefered being in the gardens, barefoot and in a summer dress, to being in her lessons, or dressed up for an event.

The sorting hat wanted to put her into Hufflepuff, but she pleaded to be in the same house as her sister and parents. He conceded to her wishes.

Her family held the ideals of pureblood superiority. They were tolerant of everyone as polite society requires. It almost creates an air of acceptance, but don’t be fooled. Astoria held these views when she arrived at Hogwarts, but they have evolved. She has seen the strength of half-bloods, and muggleborns, and could no longer justify looking down on them. Her parents were unaware of this evolution of thought.

Astoria was in the dungeons during the battle of Hogwarts. She could not bring herself to fight with the death eaters, but would not betray her family and fight with the order.

She did not have many close friends. It was hard to get to really know her. She lacked the confidence to reach out to people, and was too reserved. It often was mistaken as being cold, or elitist. Her friends told the story of a girl who cared deeply for others, but had trouble expressing herself.

Immediately after the was she was brought home to help restore the image of her family. It was a summer of  playing messenger between business connections, attending social gatherings, and aiding in rebuilding the war-torn world to be the perfect advertisement for their brand image.

Astoria was much happier getting back to school. She had the freedom to do as she liked and continue to pursue the studies she needed to become a healer. Everyone around her was pushing back for what they wanted and it inspired her to do the same.

Once she completed her schooling she went behind her parents’ backs to apply for healer training and find a place to stay. It was only when it was all lined up that she told them. It didn’t go over well, but there was little they could do to stop her.

Her mother decided the best way to handle this was to start setting up dates for Astoria in hopes that the right guy and a marriage would be able to pull her back. It had no hope of working as Astoria was so determined to prove herself.

However, it did result in her formally meeting Draco. He’d been a family friend, someone she knew of in school, but never a close friend. So while she was completely unreceptive to it all, it did end well for her. It started as a friendship and slowly turned into a romance that was not at all what their parents imagined. Neither wanted the other to conform. They could pursue their own lives while still sharing their lives. She feels blessed to have found a supportive relationship.

It wasn’t long before they were engaged and throwing a huge wedding. It was an absolute mandate that the joining of two prominent families would be the social event of the year. However, Astoria much preferred the second, smaller and more intimate ceremony they had for themselves.

Astoria never wavered from the goals she set. She worked hard to become a healer and specialized in plants and potions. It’s been the major focus of her adult life and she’s never regretted the decision. Though it has made for long and inconsistent hours.

She still doesn’t have a large group of friends, but she’s more true to herself. She’s more genuine and while her attitude has become more present so has her kinder nature.

However, she has earned a more fiery reputation among some now as she refuses to ignore anyone who dares to insult her husband. She can accept the mistakes their families, and they themselves, made in the past. She can’t accept the judgement being carried on to present day. Her family is off limits.

Scorpius was a surprise. He wasn’t unwanted, but Astoria had recently found out that she would have a hard time conceiving. They were planning an adoption when they found out that she was pregnant, leaving them with two children to love.

Even though she was often busy with work she always found time for her family. She was determined to be present and loving and supportive for them. She limited their time spent with her parents. Her children did not need to be subjected to the judgement.

Astoria had grown so accustomed to the liveliness of her home that when both her children were leaving home it left her heart aching. It wasn’t a hard decision to adopt again. A beautiful baby girl, Eurydice, was brought into the family.

Eurydice is recently three and Astoria is back to balancing career and family time. At least she’s finding it easier this time now that she is more established in her career. She’s pouring her heart into Eurydice just as she did with her older two children.

It would be rare to see Astoria outside of work without Eurydice. However, she is quite the homebody, preferring her own gardens to being in town. Though she encourages friends to visit often.

 ♫ here we go yo, here we go yo, so what, so what so what so what’s the scenario?? ♫

hello all!!! my name is tj and I spent my entire summer in a place where I didn’t have wifi or electricity ( woo we love a good camp counselor ) and then when I did have it- I was either on a boat in the middle of nowhere or in a theme park themed around a mouse and didn’t have the time to look at my phone! so- when else would I apply than the week before I start my last semester of college! I’m brilliant I know. here’s the product of not being able to hang after 9:30, a little delusion and complete exhaustion! hope you like him!!

「 herman tommeraas, 22, cis male + he/him 」☆ is that RHYSAND LESTRANGE spotted in DIAGON ALLEY ?! as they walk along the cobblestone ground they seem to be quite CHARMING , but also SHORT-TEMPERED, it makes sense given they are a BOOK SHOP OWNER & BULGARIAN NATIONAL QUIDDITCH PLAYER and their patronus is a DRAGON. Black nail polish on short nails & busted knuckles that never seem to fully heal, the smell of sandalwood and old book, books with scribbles in the margins and random items like a coffee reciept or a candy wrapper as a bookmark and a small leather journal tucked away in a leather jacket+ LUCKY STRIKE by TROYE SIVAN makes me think of them.

Oh, I wanna know just how to love you...

♕ Rhysand Lestrange was born in Sofia, Bulgaria- a beautiful city where his mother had settled shortly after the war had ended, after wanting to distance herself from her idiot elder sister’s actions. His mother- Vivienne Lestrange is the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and Rudolphus Lestrange. His father, an unknown man from the Vane family who he doesn’t know, as he disappeared from his mother’s life shortly after she became pregnant with him.

♕ Being a Lestrange brought his mother plenty of issues as she grew up- the first being she was the first Lestrange to be sorted into Gryffindor much to the horror of her mother and father, and branded as some kind of disgrace to the family name. His mother never let that negative attitude to get to her- and went on with her life, with the support of her cousins in the Tonks, Rosier and Black families. 

♕ Rhys always heard stories from his mother about his cousin Sirius, whom his mother called Uncle. The two were very close up to his passing in the second wizarding war- when his mother was rather young. It is said that he reminds her a lot of him.

♕ He wasn’t really the type to be fixated on being an Auror or a Healer, he loved to read and he loved quidditch and with his family’s fortune, it was possible for him to get started easily, which he is always grateful for. 

♕ He was scouted for the Bulgarian National Team in his 7th year, much to his delight and went on to play. He still manages his own book shop because although it paid nicely, he didn’t like to rely on just his money- because you never know when that luck might run out. 

♕ He lives in London now, traveling with the Bulgarian team to matches but almost always port keying home because he can’t bear to be away from his shop and sleep in a different bed for too long. 

Personality

♕ He can seem like a complete ass at times because when he’s working in the shop or reading he just can’t be bothered to be interrupted from the task at hand. He also has the reputation solely on his last name, because most people assume Lestranges are far from the friendly sort, which suits him fine since he likes to be alone. 

♕ He’s a big team player with a huge heart and plenty of great book recommendations if you want them, of course. Makes a really mean cup of coffee or tea and has been told his baking skills are on par with someone who went to culinary school. 

Wanted Connections

♕ Roommate: Since he lives in London and is always traveling with his team, it would make sense to have a roommate who is still there when he’s away to keep things running! His roommate would also be a big help in his book shop!

♕ Best Friend/ Friends: People who understand his weird history, and can keep up with his unusual lifestyle and personality!!! 

♕Ex-boyfriend/ girlfriend: Someone who broke his heart in pieces and is the main reason why he’s not always super upfront about his feelings unless he feels them very strongly 

♕ Family: Look if they’re from the Black, Rosier, Tonks or Vane Family- they’re welcome to be a connection! Just message me so we can work out if they’re close or what! Bare in mind- his father is a Vane, so he doesn’t know that side very well so you could really use that to your advantage to make some coollllll ass plots!!
