“Gentlemen!” Sirius proclaimed importantly, strutting through the first year dorm entrance like he already owned the place, James right behind him – too polite to overtake him, too eager to hang back like Remus and Peter did. Sirius stopped in the middle of the room and took a measured look around before turning around to face them. “This shall be our residence for the rest of time! Our home, our base, our bastille if you will! We must celebrate by creating the biggest, most impressive fort this school has ever seen!”

These three characters are all OC and represent the first and second branch of the Lupin family. 

As of reference, Bathsheba is Remus’ great grandmother; John Lupin, Jr., is Remus’ grandfather; and Elin Lupin is Remus’ grandmother. 

THE LUPIN FAMILY

Bathsheba Llywelyn (1852 - 1971)

Bathsheba Llywelyn was born in Anglesey in 1852, in the 19th of December. She was orphan but had, at least, one magical parent. 

Bathsheba is the mother of John Lupin, Jr.

Bathseba had a long term relationship with a widowed Muggle named John Lupin, Squire, to whom she never revealed her magical abilities and never married.

In the early days of young John Lupin’s life, when he started to show signs of magical powers, Bathsheba was forced to Obliviate John Sr. multiple times, which ended up causing him early signs of dementia. 

At Hogwarts, she was sorted into Ravenclaw.

She was Professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts from 1890 to 1950 and Ravenclaw Head of House from 1918 until 1950.

She is also the author of the Rune Dictionary still used at Hogwarts by those who attend the Ancient Runes course.

Bathsheba died at the age of 119.

John Lupin, Jr. (1879 - 1970)

John Lupin, Jr., was born in Cwmbran in Wales in the 14th of April, 1879. He spent his childhood in his father’s Estate as a ward, because he was born out of wedlock. He was taught by his mother until he received his Hogwarts’ letter. From then on he only visited his father during the Summer breaks. 

At Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw, like his mother. He excelled in Memory Charms - like his mother, John used it on his Muggle father everytime he needed to cast magic in front of him. 

After Hogwarts he went to work for the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, a division of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes of the British Ministry of Magic. John Lupin, Jr. was an Obliviator. 

John Lupin, Jr. later married a renowed Arithmancer named Elin Cadwallader, member of a wealthy Welsh wizarding family. 

Their love story emerged from an eventful situation in which John Lupin was called to the Royal Opera House in London to reverse the effect of magical mishaps caused by Elin’s younger sister who, deeply moved by the opera piece she was watching, provoked the continuous breaking of all the glass and crystals in the building.

John Lupin, Jr. and Elin Lupin married and had two children, Gytha Lupin and Lyall Lupin. 

Died at the age of 91 in his family house.

Elin Lupin, née Cadwallader (1892 - 1990)

Elin Cadwallader was born on the 3rd of April of 1892 at her family’s Manor in Swansea, Wales. The Cadwalladers were a wealthy Welsh wizarding family with so many sons and daughters that, eventually, their wealth dissipated.  

At the age of eleven years-old, Elin was sorted into Hufflepuff, like the majority of her relatives. She was one of the best Arithmancers of her time.

Elin was an overprotective mother and sent daily owls to her daughter and son while they were at Hogwarts. Not only she was overprotective, she was also said to be a very controlling mother, particularly in relation to her children’s grades.

She died at the age of 98 in her family house.

John Quartinus Lupin

Caucasian male. Date of Birth: February 29th 1940 (Celebrates his birthday on March 1st) Date of Death: July 29th 1978 Place of Birth: Salcombe, Devon, England Blood Status: Pureblood Siblings: One brother (deceased) Spouse: Emma Lupin (née Colbert) Issue: One son, Remus, born 1960. Hair Colour: Auburn, red Eye Colour: Dark blue House: Ravenclaw Profession: General dogsbody in the Werewolf Capture Unit, later Head of Werewolf Registration

Etymology: (English, Biblical) God is gracious                    (Ancient Roman) Fourth

Suave and charming when he wants to be and often ornery and brooding when he doesn’t, John Lupin could be something of a loose canon. He is, however, generally, a logical thinker and strategic planner. These traits have given him a tendency to be over-confident which can lead to occasional recklessness.

His parents are ageing Anglican purebloods whose first-born son, also named John, died of cot death (now referred to as SIDS) after only ten days. He is given the name Quartinus as he is the fourth John Lupin, his late brother being the third. As such, they have high expectations of their surviving son (born seven years later) and John is raised in an environment of intense pressure. This leads to him developing a dark sense of humour which, in order to rebel, he hones into razor sharp wit.

At seventeen, he meets his wife, who is having some difficulty with her mother’s car. Her presence in his life causes his parents severe discomfort and so he sees her as often as possible. They date for eighteen months before they have a physical relationship and within two weeks, she falls pregnant. Forced to grow up, John is at first resentful of the child, happy to blame the baby for his own mistakes, but as his son grows, so does John’s love for him, until they are far more like brothers than father and son, making it increasingly hard for John (as the disciplinarian) to rein him in.

His Patronus is a fox - a creature known for its mischievousness and cunning. They can be both a good or a bad omen and, depending on the folklore you consult, they can bring either success or ruin.

He is killed in the summer of 1978 by a curse which hit him in 1976, intended to slow the processing power of the brain. Its effects almost mimic dementia. By the end of his life, John cannot recognise the faces of the family who provide him with constant care. 

His parents meet their grandson for the first time at his funeral.

So in an update due on Tuesday, John is about to make his Thicker than Water debut and I'm so looking forward to it. I can't tell you how much I enjoy writing him - especially because when I plucked him out of my fanfiction and stuck him in my novel, he became rather serious and deeply troubled. John Lupin hides his pain so much better than John Barnes.

But zero angst. Even if he only appears in one of Lupin's many painful memories, it's still a happy chapter, I promise.

The prompt, if you hadn't guessed by the date it's due up, is "28: Birthday".
