( cis man | he/him | fionn whitehead / aneurin barnard ) —— isn’t that ANTAINE TRAVERS? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in SLYTHERIN but apparently they now work as a JOB in/at the PLACE. sybil once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit CHARISMATIC, SHREWD and BROODING, they’re TWENTY-FOUR now but some things never change! i wonder how being a PUREBLOOD is affecting them after school, especially now they’re a MARKED DEATH EATER? i guess only time will tell…

the heir apparent of the travers legacy, antaine’s name would likely carry a lot more weight if the rest of his family was not so deeply mired in scandal. between his father’s extremely public divorce, his mother’s reputation for tackiness, and finn’s flagrant disregard for the pureblood way of life, it’s a wonder he’s managed to secure himself any kind of future at all. still, a well-placed betrothal to the daughter of a foreign official, a head for strategy, and a commitment to maintaining blood purity have earned him many friends and admirers amongst his fellow death eaters. if only this sentiment was shared by antaine’s father, whose approval he desires above all else, in spite of his hatred for the man.

connections

finn travers: once they were thick as thieves, but growing up changes many things, and antaine’s relationship with his younger sibling is one of them. though they were both sorted into slytherin house, each of the travers siblings got something very different out of the experience: antaine some new friends and a troubling set of core beliefs, and finn the absolute certainty that they were never going to fit in with their pureblooded peers. finn misses the way their relationship used to be, and often wishes things could go back to the way things were, though there’s little chance of that now. they don’t know that their brother has sold his soul to the dark lord - or maybe they just don’t want to know.

arden conway: it wasn’t what she had planned for her life but as arden has recently taken up the dark mark she has also taken up a betrothed within the travers family after her parents have told her it was a good idea. unfortunate for antaine, the girl hasn’t made it easy being a submissive fiancé she holds a lot of reservations about the the eldest son, a secret feeling for their sibling finn, and an uncertainty about the future of their marriage. depending how antaine and arden play their cards this could be a wonderful or disastrous marriage.

( cis man | he/him | max irons / utp ) —— isn’t that MORGAN MACDONALD? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in UTP but apparently they now work as a AUROR with the MINISTRY OF MAGIC. sybill once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit STOIC, COLD and OBSESSIVE they’re TWENTY NINE - THIRTY THREE now but some things never change! i wonder how being a HALFBLOOD is affecting them after hogwarts, especially now they’re a AGENT with the ORDER OF THE PHOENIX? i guess only time will tell…

mary isn’t the first wix in their family line, not by a long shot. unbeknownst to her and her parents, the branch of their family stemming from her father’s uncle iain, which long had a reputation for being interesting where all that and more. iain being a muggleborn wizard that started the new halfblood macdonald family. the side of the family that gave rise to magnus ‘dent-head’ macdonald, long known to mary as MAD COUSIN MAGNUS.

eldest child of magnus, where his younger brother malcolm inherited their father’s temper, morgan took more after their mother in most regards. too often consigned to being the peacekeeper, the level headed one when tempers inevitably flared the fact morgan took to that as his work shocked no one. less still when he joined the order of the phoenix when it was nothing but a fledgling. but with age comes an exasperation, for his dent-headed father and also for how the war has rooted deep in his family. the tensions in the wider macdonald family are nearing boiling point and morgan has been the one trying to keep things merely simmering for too long. a younger brother and a cousin just as wild as each other with a sister tired of them both, morgan swears he’s going grey early over his one common ground with his brother putting him at odds with his sister. what he sees as the natural desire to protect their family, even their cousin mary who some days seems to seek out trouble.

connections

mary macdonald: a silly little childish thing, in mary's youth morgan had been the least favourite of the two cousins that came by in the summer to babysit them, if only because morgan did the job properly, not letting mary get into their usual scrapes that malcolm was usually right behind mary in. but being the least favourite does not bely any lack of affection between the two, even if its something they both express in ways that might seem a little foreign to the other. a staunch supporter and loyal member of the order mary's desire to fight is something morgan deeply understands even if he lacks the same fire behind his actions as the younger wix does but it's his work as an auror that has brought the two closer than they'd ever been in mary's youth. advocating for a case that too many wrote off as a prank gone wrong, mary's case. pushing his department to look deeper and when his efforts to investigate himself were stopped due to his closeness to the matter, insisting his cousin got nothing but the very best the department had to offer. and its something mary can never repay him for... though morgan says just keeping their head down from now on would be more than enough.

malcolm macdonald: it is a rare sight to see the brothers in a room together these days that doesn’t end with one storming out, rarer still when you add their father into the mix, but things had never been smooth sailings between morgan and malcolm. morgan the elder and more sensible of the pair to malcolm’s loose cannon of an approach to life things have only been exasperated by what’s become an open secret between the pair: their vastly differing stances on the war they’ve both found themselves in. but that division also plays into the common ground that sometimes seems the only thing they can agree on. that that secret stays between them and that they’ll both do anything to protect their family. both little jeannie who keeps her head down and little mary who they both played a part in babysitting summers home from hogwarts.

jeannie macdonald: jeannie and morgan’s closeness is something that’s waned a little of late. a sister once proud of her brother being a man of the law growing exasperated at the risks he deems as simply necessary. a brother once glad to see his sister keeping her head down now near pulling his hair out at how single minded she’s becoming. its a testament to how well both preserve that things have never sunk to the level of vitriol things often reach with other members of the macdonald clan.

isaiah brinan: as the eldest in the line of cousins, and furthest in age from isaiah, especially having been fostered by the macdonalds so late in life — morgan is easily the biggest enigma to the student. he wouldn’t go as far as to say morgan scared him... aloud. but he’s certainly prone to keeping more quiet, more of a distance with morgan than he does malcolm or jeannie. still, he is vaguely aware that morgan is a stable feature in the macdonald lives, and would align much more closely with the man than he would either sibling, should the chance to get to know him enough to do so truly arise.

( cis man | he/him | richard madden / utp ) —— isn’t that MALCOLM MACDONALD? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in UTP but apparently they now work as a SQUAD LEADER  with the ACCIDENTAL MAGICAL REVERSAL SQUAD. sybill once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit RECKLESS, CRUEL and JOVIAL they’re TWENTY SEVEN - THIRTY TWO (YOUNGER THAN MORGAN) now but some things never change! i wonder how being a HALFBLOOD is affecting them after hogwarts, especially now they’re a DEATH EATER? i guess only time will tell…

mary isn’t the first wix in their family line, not by a long shot. unbeknownst to her and her parents, the branch of their family stemming from her father’s uncle iain, which long had a reputation for being interesting where all that and more. iain being a muggleborn wizard that started the new halfblood macdonald family when he took a pureblood wife. the side of the family that gave rise to magnus ‘dent-head’ macdonald, long known to mary as MAD COUSIN MAGNUS.

malcolm is magnus’s second child and youngest son, a hot headed scot like his father its little surprise the two often find themselves at odds. perhaps what would be surprising, if it was widely known, would be just how far that division cuts — maybe not to the bone but to the dark mark malcolm bears. stuck between an older brother who’s an auror, and staunchly with the order, and a younger sister clinging to neutrality,  the tensions in the wider macdonald family are nearing boiling point. helped in no small part by malcolm’s equally wild thing of a cousin, mary. a person his sister couldn’t care less about but who malcolm, morgan and magnus find a rare common ground — the need to protect them from this war that’s already hit a little too close.

connections

mary macdonald: mary and malcolm get on like a house on fire, are highly likely to set a house on fire if left together unsupervised for too long but such a thing serves only to drive a close bond between the two. a shared coarseness between the pair (that could be called an acquired taste by a charitable soul) leads both to their closeness in personality and nature and yet also is the source of a secret that if unveiled would force the cousins apart. while malcolm might be a death eater, he also believes there should be an exception to every rule and his exception is his muggleborn cousin. the young wix he baby sat as a wean, who’s first big show of accidental magic he was witness to, who’s fire he thinks should never be extinguished — maybe just hidden away for a spell? if mary could just make themself less of a target his job would be a lot easier, and yet what would he do in the same situation...

morgan macdonald: it is a rare sight to see the brothers in a room together these days that doesn’t end with one storming out, rarer still when you add their father into the mix, but things had never been smooth sailings between morgan and malcolm. morgan the elder and more sensible of the pair to malcolm’s loose cannon of an approach to life things have only been exasperated by what’s become an open secret between the pair: their vastly differing stances on the war they’ve both found themselves in. but that division also plays into the common ground that sometimes seems the only thing they can agree on. that that secret stays between them and that they’ll both do anything to protect their family. both little jeannie who keeps her head down and little mary who they both played a part in babysitting summers home from hogwarts.

jeannie macdonald: to ask jeannie, malcolm was the kind of brother that was fun to have as a kid but who really is well past growing up. malcolm on the other hand would claim jeannie has grown into being a right stick in the mud. but while there might be an undercurrent of tension between the two they’re still siblings, still have each other’s backs. even if jeannie might wish malcolm didn’t extend the same courtesy to their cousin mary, and if malcolm wished that jeannie would show a little compassion.

isaiah brinan: malcolm is, by all accounts, one of the biggest storms to shake up isaiah’s life under the foster care of the macdonalds. and malcolm's always been the fun one, sure. eager from day one to tell isaiah how excited he was to have a little brother figure in his life -- and maybe that shows too much at times. isaiah is nothing like malcolm, he's patient and reserved and eager to make others happy. but malcolm seems to forget that, bringing isaiah in on schemes or events isaiah'd otherwise be the voice of reason against if it were anyone but malcolm. but because it is him, and he is, to most extents, a positive figure in both his and mary’s lives, isaiah’s not finding himself eager to draw a line between them any time soon.

( cis woman | she/her | sophie turner / abigail cowen / utp redhead ) —— isn’t that JEANNIE MACDONALD? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in UTP but apparently they now work as a APPRENTICE with the DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES. sybill once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit JUDGEMENTAL, PROUD and SENTIMENTAL they’re TWENTY TWO now but some things never change! i wonder how being a HALFBLOOD is affecting them after hogwarts, especially now they’re a NEUTRAL? i guess only time will tell…

mary isn’t the first wix in their family line, not by a long shot. unbeknownst to her and her parents, the branch of their family stemming from her father’s uncle iain, which long had a reputation for being interesting where all that and more. iain being a muggleborn wizard that started the new halfblood macdonald family when he took a pureblood wife. the side of the family that gave rise to magnus ‘dent-head’ macdonald, long known to mary as MAD COUSIN MAGNUS.

jeannie is magnus’ youngest child, grown up in the magical world but with ties to their muggle family still though less pronounced than with her older brothers who often found themselves babysitting muggle cousins...  and one muggleborn wix cousin. with her older siblings now stuck on different sides of the war and she herself staying neutral the tensions in the wider macdonald family are nearing boiling point. both brother’s and her father united by wanting to protect everyone in their extended family, what sets jeannie apart is her dislike for her younger cousin.

connections

mary macdonald: mary and jeannie should’ve been close. should’ve. but the reckless fire that drives mary has become nought but a bane to jeannie in their overlapping years in hogwarts. where is her younger cousins common sense? where is their sense of self preservation? where is the care for how their actions impact others? their family? jeannie herself?  in her eyes mary’s shown that they don’t care about the family in their repeated antics so why should that same care be extended to mary. the apparent resemblance between the two (something both wix claim not to see) only adding fuel to the fire, jeannie a few times catching jinxes meant for mary.

morgan macdonald: jeannie and morgan’s closeness is something that’s waned a little of late. a sister once proud of her brother being a man of the law growing exasperated at the risks he deems as simply necessary. a brother once glad to see his sister keeping her head down now near pulling his hair out at how single minded she’s becoming. its a testament to how well both preserve that things have never sunk to the level of vitriol things often reach with other members of the macdonald clan.

malcolm macdonald: to ask jeannie, malcolm was the kind of brother that was fun to have as a kid but who really is well past growing up. malcolm on the other hand would claim jeannie has grown into being a right stick in the mud. but while there might be an undercurrent of tension between the two they’re still siblings, still have each other’s backs. even if jeannie might wish malcolm didn’t extend the same courtesy to their cousin mary, and if malcolm wished that jeannie would show a little compassion.

isaiah brinan: it was almost a breath of fresh air, for jeannie, to have someone like isaiah become the official staple to the muggleborn macdonald line when he became an official foster sibling to mary. there was a need for someone with the sense, control and calm nature he had, and jeannie hoped like nothing else that it would rub off. much to jeannie’s dismay, it didn’t. while isaiah would often act like the middle ground to both mary and jeannie, being close to them both — he was often more a means of mitigation than anything.

ISMERELDA ZABINI (savannah lee smith) is looking for their BETROTHED in hogsmeade. they should be EIGHTTEEN - TWENTY-TWO and look a lot like UTP. you DO need to contact them before applying.

additional details: i have too many contradicting ideas for this one so we will definitely have to work out the plot together because i have never been able to make a decision ever!!

[beforedawnrps]

DAVEY GUDGEON (chase stokes) is looking for their YOUNGER SISTER (GLADYS) in hogsmeade. they should be EIGHTTEEN - NINETEEN (sixth/seventh) and look a lot like natalie alyn lind, olivia holt / utp. you DON’T need to contact them before applying.

additional details: davey was never quite as good at anything as he was at being used for an example. just as similar to her brother as she is different, gladys and davey have always had a close relationship. both gudgeon children share a wild sense of self-confidence that comes with knowing they’re pretty and a strong willingness to use their voices whether people want to hear them or not. on top of that gladys tends to be a strong student with good grades and amiable relationships with the professors. then there’s the tendency towards slightly obsessive behavior - fixations on people or subjects or hobbies, whatever thing had caught her attention most recently. (note - you don’t need to reach out to me but you are very welcome to if you want to plot or discuss anything first!)

( cis man / utp | utp | max thieriot, sean teale, luke pasqualino, liam hemsworth, derek theler, giacomo gianniotti, utp ) —— isn’t that AMOS DIGGORY? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in HUFFLEPUFF / GRYFFINDOR / UTP but apparently they now work as a UTP at the MINISTRY OF MAGIC. sybill once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit TRAIT, TRAIT and TRAIT, they’re TWENTY-SIX - THIRTY now but some things never change! i wonder how being a PUREBLOOD / HALFBLOOD is affecting them after school, especially now they’re a UTP? i guess only time will tell…

a loving husband and expectant father, amos diggory is described by most to be a loudly expressive man with a warm heart and paternal nature. he puts his whole self into everything he does, and has been that way since his days at hogwarts. his work with the ministry may be monotonous at times, but it also provides the security and comfort of a job that is stable and comes with few surprises in terms of extra hours spent away from his newly growing family.

connections

ALECTO CARROW: amos and alecto met in school and were fast friends, in a way that was honestly unsurprising. both were loud in their own ways, the sort that were impossible to ignore. they stayed close after school, and while there had once been rumors that there was more to their relationship than friendship, no one was more loudly supportive of amos marriage than alecto. now that his son is almost here, he’s still discussing with his wife whether or not he can name alecto godmother.

( cis woman / non binary | she/her / utp | synnove karlsen / benedetta porcaroli / martina cariddi / utp ) —— isn’t that THERESA “THEA”  FITZROY-HOWARD? yeah that is them, sitting there at the HOUSE table with those other SEVENTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees at least four aesthetics which seems about right for that NINETEEN year old. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty NAIVE, FLIPPANT, and SINCERE. apparently they’re a NEUTRAL and MUGGLEBORN but i’m sure that’s not related…

it’s rare enough for wix to be born to a muggle family, rarer still for one to be born to a titled family, and rarer even still for said family to produce two witches. but such improbabilities was just a fact of life for theresa growing up. the youngest in a family of six, a twin and the second daughter — she’d always been special so what was a little more? she’s followed her sister josie into the wixen world, the two girls so drastically different in personality and yet even at a glance unmistakably sisters. where ones taken to politics the other still sees little to life beyond one big party even as war creeps ever nearer. but there’s one thing that binds the two, a love of magic so deep that no matter what storms the world might hurl into their paths neither would turn their back on this world they’ve been let into.

CONNECTIONS

josephine fitzroy-howard: elder sister by five years (and two siblings) its an undeniable fact that the two are the closest of their family, bound together by their shared wixen nature. while their ambitions and nature might be different, josie will always claim that in everything she does it’s not only to make a better world for herself but for thea too. that’s why josie fights so hard to keep thea free from the war, to keep her quiet and from knowing just how bad things are going to be. there's one thing josie fights for above all else: for thea to keep her hands clean. the sleepless nights and the damned soul will all be worth it in the end if it means her sister is safe and free of that burden. if in the end all she can do is watch over her sister from the other side it’ll be worth it as long as she’s safe.

evan rosier: after josie and evan started dating he had been introduced to her younger sister thea who reminded him all too much of his own younger sister. he had easily took her under his wing and cared for her like another sister, letting her know that he would always be available had she ever needed him for anything. even after the breakup his relationship with the girl hasn’t changed, he still sees her and still considers her family. that won’t ever change.
