Hphm characters and do they want kids/how they would be as a parent?

chiara: is open to the idea of kids! since she's such a nurturer, it just seems natural to her. if she had one... she would be the kind of mom that is constantly scared for their child's safety, like baby-proofing everything and only feeding them organic, natural food

bill: would love to have a kid of two, look at his family! if he had one... he'd tell them stories every night about all of his adventures through life- finding cursed vaults with his friends at hogwarts, visiting egypt while working as a curse-breaker, etc.

diego: doesn't want kids, it's just not his thing! i mean, snot? grubby hands? a physical reminder of the loss of his playboy image?? if he had one... he would be the kind of dad that can't help but take a million pictures of their kid and show them to everyone all of the time

merula: doesn't want them now, might not even change her mind later. babysitting draco that one day was bad enough. if she had one... it would be hard not to pressure them to succeed and do well, but she knows deep down she'd love them no matter what... even if they weren't sorted into slytherin

penny: is planning on having kids in the future, at least a couple. she LOVES babies and is obsessed with how tiny they are! if she had one... she would be the type of mom to color-code and organize their kids, especially all of their lunchboxes and backpacks for school

barnaby: can't wait to be a dad, seriously. since he grew up so lonely and with little love in his house, he just wants a huge family with a million kids and pets running around. if he had one... he would carry them around with him everywhere- literally everywhere. he loves to swaddle and wear his little one

rowan: undecided whether they would like to have children or not, and if they did, it would likely be through adoption. if they had one... they would be the best tutor ever- no crying at the kitchen table over muggle math

orion: is apprehensive about the reality of it, especially because he lost his parents at a young age. if he did have one... he would never leave their side. orion would be the dad who dedicates his life to being an active parent even if he has the support of a partner. no love is too much for his child

tonks: would like to have one, maybe two if the first one isn't too much to handle. parenthood seems a little stressful! if she had one... they would become her partner in crime. it would be pretty funny to use her metamorphmagus abilities to become a toddler best friend for her child.

skye: doesn't feel the need or desire for a child, but wouldn't be opposed to one or two if her partner felt strongly enough. if she had one... they would get her surname- for sure. she'd want her kid to follow the parkin quidditch legacy, naming traditions be damned!

talbott: despite what people might think, talbott actually wants to be a father some day. yeah, he knows kids don't seem like his cup of tea but he thinks they could heal his childhood. if he had one... they would be the most precious thing in the world to him. he would finally have a family again, and this one he wouldn't lose

ben: isn't planning to have, or not have, children. he is a little nervous about the idea of raising a child, especially knowing how anxious he was as a kid. if he had one... ben would be forever changed just by looking at his baby, realizing that he is strong enough to take care of and protect a little one

murphy: would absolutely love to be a dad, no matter how many kids he has! if he had one... he would make them a quidditch themed nursery, complete with a golden snitch mobile and an enchanted mural of the pitch (painted by badeea, of course)

badeea: could see herself being a mother in the future, though she would prefer for it to be later in life. if she had one... her baby would become the center of all of her paintings, a true muse for her work. badeea would make portraits of the child every year on their birthday

tulip: isn't fond of the idea of kids, and isn't planning on having any. if she had one... they would bring some unexpected fun into her life. you know she'd do things like draw eyebrows on her baby and teach them naughty words out of context. why not!

jae: wouldn't mind a couple of kiddos once he decides to settle down, definitely not any time soon. if he had one... he would make sure to hustle and keep a steady income so he can provide his kid with the world. jae would do anything to make sure that his child is set up for their future

charlie: loves the idea of having a full house full of mini charlies- those weasley genetics are pretty strong. if he had one... he would constantly be bringing them over to the burrow to spend time with their cousins and grandparents. there's nothing better than seeing his own kids in his childhood home

Alma the Creator of Magical Chess

1975-????

Alma Sharp is the daughter of Esteban Sharp and his Muggle lover. While her mother was pregnant with her, she found out about the existence of magic and took the news very negatively. Thus, Esteban had to obliviate her immediately after Alma's birth and raise the girl on his own.

Born on December 13th, 1974, she is a Ravenclaw like her father, whom she adores and looks up to.

Alma has a keen and strategic mind, which she uses while playing her favourite game, chess, as well as Quidditch in the position of Chaser. She's also very headstrong and competitive, beating her opponents smartly. Many consider her irritating due to her snarky attitude.

Alma participates in many chess tournaments and eventually decides to design chess boards and pieces for a living. Her passion is what put her together with her husband, Murphy McNully. Together, they have two children, Castiel and Caissa McNully.

Murphy McNully Appreciation Post

(because he’s super underrated in the Hogwarts Mystery fandom fr)

Here’s a list of all the cool stuff I like about him:

1. He beat Minerva McGonagall (and her brother) at Wizard’s chess, her specialty subject. As a student! In a chess tournament that he won! She was a literal teacher, and he still beat her! Which is pretty impressive, I think.

2. Murphy is a statistical/mathematical genius. Who else can calculate incredibly precise stats in a moments notice and constantly incorporate them into speech all the time… for fun? Total nerd, I know, but still. His potential is definitely wasted being a Quidditch commentator. Should’ve been a statistician or something.

3. He has a near encyclopaedic knowledge of Quidditch. In one of the TLSQ’s, he mentioned reading Quidditch Through the Ages 78 times. Even I haven’t read the Harry Potter series that many times. Also, he pretty much knows everything about the sport, despite (probably) never have played it himself.

4. Murphy is a genuinely kind person also. Always offering to help Lyds (MC) with training, learning manoeuvres, and generally just hanging out. He also really loves his mother, mentioning her quite a few times and saying she’s his favourite witch. That’s sweet. Murphy can be vulnerable too, as he was to Lyds in the first Quidditch season over a chess game.

5. Hot as fuck

Ship Week Day 2: Summer, Creatures

💙🦅 m!Rowan/Murphy, post Fifth Year

@hphm-fandom-events

Despite what his parents might tell you, Murphy is not panicking.

Sure, it may look like he’s panicking. He’s brushed Kneil about six more times than necessary, and he can admit that the only reason he hasn’t done it a seventh time is that Kneil extends his claws whenever Murphy gets near him now. His room is immaculate with how much he’s tidied it. He is, in fact, currently wheeling back and forth around the house in what may be considered “pacing.” He’s not panicking, though. It’s excitement. Not nerves.

Maybe if he keeps telling himself that, he’ll start believing it.

See, all his parents know is that a friend from school is bringing his cat over for a playdate with Kneil, and thus they have no idea what’s got Murphy all up in a tizzy. The truth is that Rowan is coming over for the first time. You know, Rowan Khanna. Murphy’s boyfriend. The boyfriend who’s never seen him outside of school before.

And sure, they share a dorm at school. It’s not like they’ve never seen each other out of uniform or anything (not that that stopped Murphy from changing outfits four times already, and he’s considering making it a nice five). They’ve been dating a decent amount of time, too - two months, eighteen days, twenty one hours, forty six minutes, and nine seconds - so realistically, this isn’t an “early in the relationship” type of date where Rowan could decide that actually, never mind, he’s not interested. Although...

They haven’t physically seen each other since school let out. The 30th of June to now, the 22nd of August, rounding up to a full twenty four hours for simplicity, is fifty days out of the seventy seven that they’ve officially been dating, which means they’ve only actually been in contact about thirty five point one percent of the time they’ve been together. And while it’s true that Rowan hasn’t missed a single day of consecutive letters that are absolutely not in a box at the back of Murphy’s closet, fifty days (or roughly sixty four point nine percent of their total relationship) is a long time to not see someone in person. It’s completely possible that the spark is gone. Rowan might see him today and realize he would rather just be friends. Which is something that Murphy would respect, of course, but, well. It’d hurt.

At this point he’s just going to accept that he’s panicking. It seems like the logical course of action here. Of course, right as he’s accepted his nerves and decided that he should probably try breathing, the doorbell chimes.

Unfortunately, Murphy is at the wrong end of the house, so it’s his mother who opens the door to greet Rowan and - oh, wow, that is quite possibly the fluffiest cat Murphy has ever seen. Majestic, really. It’s almost enough to distract him from Rowan in a t-shirt and shorts and oh wow, breathing is important. Where Murphy decided to take a smart-casual approach with a nice polo, Rowan is clearly dressed for pure comfort; for some reason it’s doing things to Murphy’s head.

Kneil is entirely unaffected. He confidently struts up to his fuzzy home invader for a greeting, which Fuzzclaw (very aptly named) cheerfully accepts, and thank Merlin for that, because if their pets had disliked each other Murphy had calculated a twenty two point eight percent chance of a break up, so that’s no longer something he needs to worry about.

He hears his mother exclaim about how cute the cats are - well, cat and kneazle, technically speaking, though they are adorable - before excusing herself to the back garden. He hears Rowan cooing, sees Rowan kneel down to pet the two fluffy new friends, sees the brilliant grin Rowan flashes him. He’s fully aware of what’s happening. It’s just that, well... embarrassingly enough, Murphy is pretty sure his jaw is hanging open. Despite being more of the practical type, there’s nothing but domestic daydreams in his head right now of him and Rowan in a nice house similar to this one but much further into the countryside, with their three cats because of course they would need one together and oh god now he’s picturing kids -

Two months, eighteen days, twenty one hours, fifty two minutes, and thirty three seconds. He’s definitely jumping the starting whistle a bit, which is a foul in Quidditch and usually a bad idea in dating. Murphy finally closes his mouth and enters the room fully instead of lingering in the hall like a crazy person.

Rowan is staring by now, still smiling but likely confused as to why Murphy hasn’t said anything, which is fair, and Murphy definitely should say something, though he can’t quite seem to manage it. A "hello" would be a good start. Although: there are ways to greet people without words, and they are dating...

When his boyfriend giggles into the kiss, Murphy almost sighs in relief.
