☄ HOMENUM REVELIO ╱ is that CORA GOYLE? the HOGWARTS SLYTHERIN alumni is the TWENTY FIVE year old child of GREGORY AND LEEANE GOYLE. with the rumours of political unrest, it’s not surprising that the ministry is keeping a close eye on everyone, but especially the HIT WITCH, considering that they are known to be quite MANIPULATIVE. but if you ask their friends, you might hear that they have a PROTECTIVE side to them. according to our records they identify as FEMALE (SHE/HER), they HAVE lost their magic.
CW: ABUSE MENTION
name: Cora Lenae Goyle
age: 25
sexuality: Bisexual
former house: Slytherin
patronus: Bat
pet(s): Black Male Cat (Nyx)
occupation: Hit Witch
Being Gregory’s daughter was never an easy thing. Cora grew up in an abusive household because her parents never really wanted to be parents in the first place and they only stayed together because divorce was never an option. Cora had to learn to be a chameleon from a young age. This taught her how to be manipulative as well and figure out ways to get what she wanted when she wanted. Her relationship with her parents can easily be described in one word. Fake. Cora has always believed both of her parents are extremists and bigots. She doesn’t share the same ideals they do but she knew better than to speak against them while growing up in their household. She did once when she was younger and she remembers not being able to sit for three days and she had a busted lip for a week from the slap she also got from her mother. Her parents relationship is odd since her mother is an extremely intelligent woman and her father is not intelligent at all and she believed her mother only married her father to get out of her own abusive household but she doesn’t understand why she was the way she was to her if she knew how it felt like to live in such a household. She always strove to be the ideal daughter but Cora has always been everything her parents hate.
She was meant to be sorted into Gryffindor but begged the hat to place her in Slytherin out of fear. She knew it was only a matter of time before she got out of there and focused instead on being the best witch she could be. Cora studied hard which in turn kept her parents eyes away from her. She stayed under radar as best she could but it was hard when people had this pre-existing idea of who she was simply because of her last name. Cora had to endure abuse at home and she wasn’t going to deal with it at Hogwarts too. This caused a lot of fighting when she was in school and duels because she always stood up to people. Despite this, Cora did try to keep an open mind that not everyone was bigoted and once people proved to be trusted, she was an open book.
After Cora graduated, it proved a bit difficult to pull away from her parents despite the fact that she was capable of being on her own. They disagreed with her choice of career as they weren’t fond of the idea of their daughter getting her hands dirty. She was able to pass the tests required to go into being a Hit Witch and soon started off her career as such. The loss of magic hit her harder than she expected since it happened right in the middle of a duel with catching a criminal. She woke up in the hospital 3 days after. Cora was confused and when she asked if her parents had been notified, she was informed that they had refused to come see her.
She had lost her magic but in turn gained her freedom. It’s taken some time to adjust but Cora is slowly learning how to enjoy her life away from the abuse and away from her parents but still, a part of her misses them as strange as it is. She is lost without her job though and has been trying very hard to keep herself busy one way or another.
The ministry requests the appearance of Louis Weasley immediately! the twenty-year-old alumni from Hogwarts is now working as a travel blogger. the ministry seeks knowledge about their loss of magic. be cautious for they are naive and innocent, but also compassionate and easy-going.
Louis Arthur Weasley is the youngest of three children and the only son of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. He grew up in a very large family, surrounded by cousins
So when it finally came to his turn to go to Hogwarts, to say he was excited was an understatement. He had been watching his sisters and cousins get to go every year and eagerly got on the train before he was sorted into Gryffindor, played for the house quidditch team, and generally loved most of his time at the school
However, Louis can be a tad gullible and naive and this absolutely came into light in a way it never had before leaving for school. He was a loving kid, very gentle and caring without a mean bone in his body, but he also was never good at defending or taking care of himself. Friends hadn’t come easily to him, being pushed away by anyone other than his family and a select few others because his soft and bubbly personality wasn’t for most people. Some bullied him endlessly, while others were quick to take advantage of his trusting nature and invited him into some bad crowds, using him as their scapegoat to keep out of trouble when doing things they weren’t supposed to.
But anytime Louis expressed his concerns with their behaviors or the excessive drug use they’d gang up on him, tearing him down and claiming they were his friends and would never do anything to harm him. That he was the one in the wrong for ever assuming they would and he would join in for a long time. These were his friends, and one of the boys who had been two years above him was giving him special attention that Louis didn’t fully understand, but he thought he might like it?
And while now Louis wants absolutely nothing to do with any of those people who had treated him so poorly in school, he credits them for his love of travel. His mother had suggested the trip seeing how down he was the summer they all graduated, and Louis spent the better part of July in France with family, documenting the entire trip. He had never expected anyone to actually take interest in his crummy photos or captions, but he got comments daily asking for recommendations of places to go in Paris and London. And so a small blog louistravels was born. It was somewhere to channel his thoughts and distract him from his hurt having lost the people he thought were his friends and it had grown to the point that he was able to make a living off of his writing and traveling. It wasn’t enough to support himself forever, but it was something he loved to do while he figured out his next steps in life.
He had been in Dublin when the first hints appeared something might be wrong with his magic. He had tried to apparate back to the hotel he had been staying in and couldn’t manage it, although hadn’t thought too much of it. He was awful at it anyway, failed his test the first time around. But other things became more difficult until he had no choice but to accept this virus spreading the community had taken away his ability to perform magic as well.
Louis doesn’t know what he is going to do now. He works in the muggle world for now, but he has no clue how long that will last, and if he’ll ever regain his magic. He’s really more scared of people’s reactions to him now than anything.
the ministry requests the appearance of HALCYON MCLAGGEN immediately ! the TWENTY-SIX year old alumni from HOGWARTS is now working as a BARTENDER. the ministry seeks knowledge about their involvement with the disappearance of magic. be cautious for they are DRAMATIC and MASKED, but also FRIENDLY and ALTRUISTIC.
Meet my beloved, dramatic boy Halcyon:
He was born to Cormac McLaggen and a squib woman named Sylvia McLaggen (née Hume). While many of Cormac’s Hogwarts classmates would have described him as arrogant, entitled, rude, insensitive, and over-assertive, much of these traits softened and sweetened when he met Sylvia. He’d met her at a dance party one night where she was dancing alone. The colored lights lit up her platinum hair with red and blues and purples, and when the light when white, it gave her something of a halo. Cormac was immediately smitten. Sylvia was quick and self-assured, and would expect nothing better than the best, and in return Cormac became that. She helped him uproot all the emptiness he’d felt inside for so long. While it took the two a rather a long time to start dating, once they did, it wasn’t long before they got married and moved to the Scottish countryside together. The two of them have five happy years together before Halcyon came along.
However, it wasn’t long after Halcyon turned two that Cormac came down with a cold that only got worse and worse and worse. The sickness, unexplained but fast-acting, stole Cormac from this world, and stole Sylvia’s sense of safety. After that, Sylvia became an agoraphobic. She was a complete shut-in and sheltered Halcyon from everything. He spent a lot of time alone with no friends to speak of, taking care of his mam as best he could.
The only friend he really had was a mooncalf he befriended one night when he was eight, which he named Winter (after the season in which they met). His mam let him keep the pet, seeing how happy it made him.
Halcyon’s parents always knew that he’d be getting a message from Hogwarts, as from the second he was born, Halcyon could, without any effort, shift his features, his hair color...all of it. He was a metamorphmagus. This excited Cormac, who would tell the young child all about Hogwarts and his adventures there (not that Halcyon remembers much of what he said, given his age), but after Cormac’s death, it only gave his mother great anxiety. How could she send her only child away to a place that seemed, from her husband’s stories, to be not as safe as a school should be?
So when Halcyon got his letter, he and his mam sat down for a long talk. Which ended in this: Halcyon would not be going to Hogwarts. Instead he would continue to be homeschooled by her. While she was a squib, she’d grown up surrounded by magic and decided that she could teach him what he needed. The conclusion was a great disappointment to the young child, who craved social interaction and excitement, but even at that age he understood. He understood that his mom wasn’t quite like other moms. He understood she needed him. So he stayed. And he learned what he could.
But it couldn’t last long. Halcyon’s abilities far surpassed what Sylvia could teach him, and she knew that it could have dangerous results if he didn’t get a proper education. So the summer before what would have been Halcyon’s fourth year it was decided that he would transfer into Hogwarts. Halcyon was beyond ecstatic. He craved friends, he craved to be well-liked. He looked in the mirror and he wondered how he could ensure that his loneliness wouldn’t follow him to school. Not having a lot of friends growing up, and not having a lot to do, Halcyon spent a lot of time watching movies. This lead him to one conclusion: people liked people who were attractive. So he worked on his metamorphmagus abilities until he was easily able to hold them all day long without any thought. Halcyon gave himself a new face--one that he thought was more attractive than his own, and one that he felt assured he would make friends with.
Self-assured, excited for adventure, and willing to befriend anyone he came across, Halcyon was sorted into Gryffindor and made many friends. Because he was homeschooled by his mother, who, while grew up with magic, didn’t have any practical magic experience, he quick fell behind the other students in his year. He didn’t mind much. He had friends, and was experiencing so much more than he was before.
After graduating, Halcyon continued to live with his mom and take care of her. No one knows much about his home life, and he likes to keep it that way. He has a small place in the city for bringing friends and other guests back to, so that no one questions where he lives, but he rarely spends time there without someone else. No one he knows has ever seen what his real face looks like, and no one even knows he’s a metamorphmagus.
Halcyon flirts a lot and has a lot of hook-ups and the like, but he’s never been in love. His mind doesn’t really connect sex and romance in his mind, and it’s not unlikely from him to be good friends with those he’s had a one-night stand with, or to try and set his hook-ups up with someone else. Very much shows platonic love--lots of hugs and kisses on the head/cheek/etc. and hand-holding for his friends.
He LOVES playing cupid. Although he’s never felt romantic love, he believes in it so much and just wants everyone to find the one for them. He will set people up on dates and act as a wing-man or middle man for pretty much any one he meets. If he knows you have a crush on someone, he will be your biggest supporter.
One dramatic hoe. Like over the top about everything honestly. Pretend swooning and melodramatic WOE IS ME~!
“Meteroseuxal” might be used to describe him. He takes great care of his appearance, and it’s not usual to see him dress up with eyeliner or nail polish and lots of jewelry.
Halcyon is so friendly and warm and smooth that he makes everyone he meets feel like they know him so well, but the truth is that no one really knows him. They don’t know about his past, about his abilities, and he’s never had anyone spend the night at his place. He’s masked, but no one notices it or questions it because he’s curated the façade of some who is open and inviting.
Literally had no idea what to do with his life. He isn’t sure where his passion is and, anyway, he never got very good grades in school. He’s currently a bartender, but he used to work as a stripper and has done some modeling.
I know this is such a long intro guys lol if you actually read the whole thing kudos to you tbh
Potential connections:
Friends
FWB (This plot is taken by two people currently, but is still considered open!)
Past hook-ups, flings, one-night stands
Someone who is annoyed by him bc he’s just a dramatic hoe
co-workers
Someone who used to tutor him in school
Gossip buddies (bc Halcyon likes to gossip like hell)
Someone he can play cupid with/give love advice
Maybe a childhood friend? Someone who lived near him in Scotland?? This would really have to be plotted out of course. Could just be someone he met once a long time ago.
( jessie, 24, eastern time zone, she/her & nicole maines ) the ministry requests the appearance of DANIELLE BURKE immediately ! the TWENTY FOUR year old alumni from HOGWARTS is now working as ST. MUNGO'S WELCOME WITCH. the ministry seeks knowledge about their loss of magic. be cautious for they are INSECURE and STUBBORN, but also ADAPTABLE and RESILIENT. ( she/her & trans female )
hello! i’m jessie and i’m super excited to be here! here’s my child~ let me know if you’d like to plot!
danielle is far from what her family is like and that was one of the main reasons she was disowned by them at such a young age. she kept their last name mostly as a slap to the face because she knows how much they hate that.
proud former gryffindor.
when they disowned her, she moved in with her nanny (who she now sees as her mother) who took her in after her parents had left her on the streets to fend for herself. they had been tolerant to her sorting (at first) but the more she began to act out against what they wanted from her, the more conflict there was between her and her parents. pureblood extremists to the end, arrogant and closed minded, dani could never force herself to be as such and despite their abuse and beatings, she refused to stand down and become their puppet.
she was loud yes and sometimes a little too blunt but she was never mean without reason and when she was then it’s always been provoked. she came out as transgender officially in her 3rd year but her transition didn’t officially begin until the end of her 6th. her mother being a muggleborn, helped her discover herself, it wasn’t easy as there was a lot of internal hatred for herself considering what her birth parents had put her through but her mother was always there through the dysphoria and the doctor visits.
she’s can be ruthless with her words and isn’t afraid to tear someone down if they provoke her. she’s as brutal as she is kind but really all she wants is to make the best of her life and be the best version of herself as possible.
she has her off days as does everyone but she’s a fighter and she’s not one to give up and let herself stay in the dark for very long.
she’s never really had a calling for anything so when she graduated hogwarts, she jumped between jobs often and didn’t know where life would lead her but she embraced the adventure of it with open arms. soon enough, she found herself working as a welcome witch at st. mungos. she helps out with paperwork and to help people with the anxiety of losing their magic as she herself understands what it is like.
being her mother is a muggleborn, the moment she lost her magic, she knew exactly who to go to for help. she is concerned about what is happening and if there is any way to get her magic back but dani is confident that with time, there’ll be a solution.
( hunter, 24, mountain time zone, he/him & sofia carson ) the ministry requests the appearance of XIMENA VANE immediately ! the TWENTY SIX year old alumni from HOGWARTS is now working as a WRITER FOR THE DAILY PROPHET. the ministry seeks knowledge about their loss of magic. be cautious for they are GUARDED and HARSH, but also PASSIONATE and DEPENDABLE. ( she/her & cisfemale )
Ximena is the only daughter of Romilda Vane. Being raised by a single mother who constantly had men in and out of her life made Ximena weary of relationships. She never understood when she was little why everyone had a mother and a father and she barely had a mother as Romilda was an important journalist, this meant she traveled often. It only seemed fit for her mother to be among the gossip and write about it.
She hated it, she hated having to travel so often. She often wished she just had a stable home. Ximena doesn’t know her father as her mother believes she was a result after a wild week visiting the United States. Ximena doesn’t hate her mother but she often finds herself trying not to judge her too harshly but it’s hard when there’s lingering anger for never having a stable home. Romilda often tends to live in the past, reminding Ximena how good she has it not having to deal with war. She also used to speak so much about the Chosen One, Harry Potter. Her mother spoke of him so often that Ximena can’t even stand his name and she didn’t even know him until after she graduated Hogwarts.
Being homeschooled and taken care of by care-givers made it a little harder to adapt once she started attending Hogwarts. She was sorted into Slytherin which didn’t surprise her mother as she had a way of getting whatever it was she wanted from her caregivers when she was younger. Ximena was in the top of her year with her marks and although many people know of her, she doesn’t have many friends. Friendship and respect is something to be earned– both ways – and Ximena finds it hard to let down her walls and be civil enough to let people in.
During Hogwarts, Ximena was Slytherin’s chaser as well as a Prefect.
After Hogwarts, went on to become a hit witch as she had that dream for as long as she could remember. She was pretty good at what she did and often helped in training others.
Loves animals. All animals. Cats especially. She has her own cat named, Oliver or Ollie.
People often think someone broke her heart and that’s the reason behind why she is so anti relationships or anti love but truthfully it’s because of everything she’s seen her mother go through including abuse. The truth is she rather keep to herself than be around people because often times people see her as ‘mean’. She knows she can be over bearing and she knows she can be too much and she is trying very hard to change that because she knows people are not at fault for how her life turned out but again change is hard and sometimes she cares so much and doesn’t quite know how to show it.
The few people who she does consider friends, she is very loving and loyal to.
She is constantly exhausted and she knows it’s because of all the anger she holds however she doesn’t quite know how to let it go nor how to forgive even years later. It’s something she is trying to learn.
When she began to notice traces of her magic weakening, she went into a panic. Magic was all she knew. Magic was all she felt she was good at. She tried to pretend it wasn’t happening until one day during training new recruits, she couldn’t cast a simple defense spell and ended up with a concussion. Her magic was gone.
She didn’t hesitate to quit after that. She was useless. She could be no help and she refused to drag people down when there was such an immense issue at hand. She wasn’t that selfish. Romilda pulled some strings with some former colleagues and got her a job helping write for The Daily Prophet.
It’s a job and she’s thankful for it but regardless, she feels more empty and lost than before. Ximena has switched herself to autopilot and she knows it. She tends to keep up to date with the news events going on since she now works for the Prophet but she mostly writes about other things to help people keep their minds off what is happening, like Quidditch and news about creatures and so on.
( lia, twenty five, pacific time zone, she/her & keith powers ) the ministry requests the appearance of TOBIAS SHACKLEBOLT immediately ! the TWENTY FOUR year old alumni from HOGWARTS is now working as a HEALER. the ministry seeks knowledge about their involvement with the disappearance of magic. be cautious for they are HASTY and STUBBORN, but also HONEST and COMPASSIONATE. ( he/him & cis male )
tw: death mention
Small Facts:
name: tobias shacklebolt
former house: ravenclaw
sexuality: bisexual
age: 24
occupation: healer
Tobias is the grandson of Kingsley Shacklebolt. So growing up, there was already a giant weight on his shoulders to stand out and be different, be great.
At the age of 14, Tobias had to move in with his grandparents which didn’t make things any easier or better. Tobias’ parents were both well known and powerful Aurors. They two died on a mission together. They were hit with the killing curse. Although Voldemort and blood purity was no longer as well accepted as it used to be, the beliefs still lingered long after his death. They’re just more subtle than before. Tobias’ parents always made sure to remind him of that.
When his parents passed away, Tobias became very withdrawn from everyone. He quit Quidditch and began to just stay out of everyone’s way which in turn made him feel alone. He was angry all the time and he tended to snap being as he had just barely turned 14, death was not something he knew how to deal with. The anger just grew when he learned the name of the person that killed his parents and the fact that they were not caught and to this day, they were never found. Thankfully, his grandfather was a patient man and his grandmother very loving. They understood that Tobias was angry that he had lost his parents so soon and they allowed their grandson time to cope.
It took a very long time for Tobias to go back to his normal self and even so afterwards, there was evident differences in the boy. After Hogwarts, he attempted to become an Auror but his grandfather had let his intentions for doing so slip and in so, he was denied.
Tobias didn’t know what to do but spending time accompanying his grandmother who liked to volunteer at St. Mungos awakened something in him. He liked helping and he liked being able to be the reason that someone had hope. This led him to become a healer which ironically, helped him heal himself. It also took years for him to let go of the grudge he held against the person who was never found who was guilty of his parents’ early demise but the more he helped people, the more his anger slipped away.
Tobias didn’t know what to do the first time someone rushed into the hospital in a panic of no longer being able to perform magic. He tried his very best to help ease them but then it was starting to become a regular thing. Tobias doesn’t quite know what is going on but he is working hard to help figure it out in any way he can.
the ministry requests the appearance of ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER immediately ! the TWENTY-ONE year old alumni from HOGWARTS is now working as an ASTRONOMER. the ministry seeks knowledge about their involvement with the disappearance of magic. be cautious for they are SARCASTIC and AFRAID OF VULNERABILITY, but also CLEVER and WARM. ( he/him, trans male )
About the boyo:
Hates being called Al. Jot that down. His name is so important to him that he just doesn’t do nicknames. Sorry.
Is a big ol’ philosophy snob…like honestly he will get super deep with you about the universe and the uncertainty of reality and all that junk and go on tangents about philosophy. Hates Plato.
BUT that’s the only time he’ll get deep with you. If you try to get emotional on him or ask him personal stuff…he’s all like nah and runs away. He get uncomfy with emotions. He tries. He’s got a good heart. He just doesn’t know what to say or do. He’s better at giving advice than being a shoulder to cry on--which isn’t always ideal since sometimes all people want to do is complain a little and vent. Albus doesn’t quite realize that. He is, however, better with other’s emotions than his own, so...that’s good, right?
He was a Slytherin at Hogwarts but honestly…he should have been in Ravenclaw. He asked the sorting hat to put him in Slytherin bc he thought that being around people who were so ambitious and resourceful and determined would rub off on him and it’d make coming into his own easier.
Albus always got good grades, but he was particularly gifted in Transfiguration
Also super into Astronomy. He loves the night and the stars and loves thinking about the universe and how it ties into philosophy and the world at large.
He currently works at an observatory that is open to Muggles and wizarding folks alike. The observatory has designated rooms for the magical side of Astronomy.
So Albus is trans, but he fought it for a long time. He didn’t accept himself until about halfway through his 5th year. His plan was to graduate and then run away from everyone he knew in order to get a fresh start, but...once he started seeing himself--really seeing himself--he couldn’t masquerade any longer. He started T and had top surgery the summer before his 6th year. He only told his family and very, very, very close friends. Everyone else found out when he just showed up for the Start of Year Feast.
5th year held some of the worst moments of Albus’s life. The longer he held himself in, the more frigid and brittle and snappish he got. He became very distant from everyone that year, and, in some cases, he’s still working on mending those bridges. During 5th year, he felt so isolated and bitter. He let his health go--hardly showering, barely brushing his hair...he still did amazing in school, but his heart was always sinking. He only did well because schoolwork was a distraction from everything else. If he ever found himself with nothing to do...if he ever stopped...he started to think. And Albus didn’t like when he started to think.
Happily, everyone in his family took his transition really well.
Albus chose the name Albus Severus for one main reason: Harry saw Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape as some of the bravest people he had ever met. He told his kids stories of them, painting them in a wondrous light that instilled itself in Albus’s young mind. He thought that by taking on their names, he would get an extra burst of strength and confidence
Overall, Albus is a warm, friendly guy. He’ll talk with anyone, be friends with anyone…so long as they can handle a little bit of teasing, a little bit of banter, and a whole lot of sarcasm
Albus is gay
He’s still a bit shy about his surgery scars
Is 5′5
He was Seeker for Slytherin team during his 6th/7th year. Being a Seeker--who, let’s face it, got a lot of glory--gave Albus so much confidence. Being small as a Seeker was a good thing--it helped you be quicker, helped you be a better Seeker--which helped Albus come to terms with his height and body.
Wanted Connections:
Ex-boyfriend from pre-transition: A guy Albus dated throughout his fifth year until Albus abruptly broke it off without giving much reason to why
Old roommates: Albus used to be in the girl’s dorm until his fifth year, so any female or male Slytherins his age would have been his roommate at some point
Astronomy buddies
Philosophy buddies
Someone who doesn’t like him bc he was insensitive to them at one point in time
Friend from pre-transition: Albus didn’t have a lot of friends before he transitioned bc he was v reclusive, but this person was there for him
Prank buddies
Someone he’s still mending bridges with from his 5th year dark days
Quidditch pals--they play pick-up Quidditch games together
Academic rivals--they were both good in school, always seemingly competing for higher marks and that rivalry has continued even now that they’re graduated
