✥ LYSANDER CAERWYN ✥ — Task #2: Mischief Managed

WAND

Ebony “This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. In my experience the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.”

Dragon Heartstring “As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.”

11 ½ in. Long “Most wands range from 9 to 14 inches, and those in between 10.5 and 12.5 inches are considered averagely sized. In contrast to what many think, owning a wand with average length does not mean the wizard or witch have average powers and would never triumph in life. Most accomplished figures in history of magic were paired to averagely sized wands. It is because these wands usually seek owners who control their instincts and calculate their acts, which makes them use their magic in appropriate ways.”

Slightly Springy “'Stable wands' include those characterized as slightly yielding, slightly springy, reasonably supple, and all swishy wands. These tend to choose owners who seek perfection in their magic and try to plan things for a long-run. Slightly yielding or springy wands can cast spells faster than most wands, so they pair well with wizards and witches of quick thinking.”

HOGWARTS HOUSE

Gryffindor — brave, courageous, chivalrous, daring, bold

As much as Gryffindors might like to pretend otherwise, their house is not free from the possibility of turning out some bad eggs. Lysander may be a chaotic, dark angel of sin, but no one can reasonably call him a coward. His whole life has been about pushing boundaries, challenging people and ideas with reckless abandon, and experimenting in bold new ways to find what makes him happiest. The last thing he thinks about is other people—if someone else is hurt by something he’s done, oh well. He doesn’t use his courage for good, but the way in which he dives head-first into his interests and passions is far more in line with Gryffindor sensibilities than those of Slytherin. And not many angels, fallen or otherwise, would be so daring as to directly challenge The Almighty and his will as frequently as Lys does. If he’d never fallen from heaven, it’s easy to see how Lys might have been a fearless warrior for the light. As it is, his fearlessness is put to use against the forces of light and in pursuit of his own selfish desires. Not like something as petty as morality would ever stop him.

PATRONUS

Husky

“Huskies are fast, energetic, and athletic - they are also adorably cute. If your Patronus is a husky, you’re likely thought of as lovable and cuddly by those who know you. Inside, though, you are a ball of energy, eager to prove yourself. At Quidditch tryouts, you’re the player who says, 'Put me anywhere you need me! I got this.' Nothing can hold you back. But despite your natural abilities, you don’t strut. You’d rather hang with friends playing frisbee than show off your trophy collection.”

Lys would probably never need to cast a patronus, but if he did, it would take a form as striking as he is himself. It might seem odd for someone like him to have a dog patronus and not, say, a peacock. But Lys and this gregarious beast go well together. Huskies are impossible to ignore: their stunning appearance turns heads wherever they go, and their boisterous personalities win them friends daily. Even experienced owners find huskies to be a handful at times. They have a lot of energy that needs to be worked off and they can easily get bored without enough attention or stimulation. If left to their own devices, they can be downright miscreants. But thoroughly sated, they are loyal dogs with bold natures who make very faithful companions. And while “faithful” isn’t ever a word one would use to describe Lys, he is loyal to the cause of the fallen angels and more than happy to put his talents to use for them.

OTHER

Amortentia — Winter Warmth Lys has never quite been able to explain why the scents of winter are so appealing to him. He’s a summer boy through and through, but for all that he loves the hottest season of the year, it’s the smells of cinnamon, cranberries, citrus, and pine that would draw him in to the love potion most, evoking images of falling snow and a warm fire, furs bundled around him and his lover. Hidden in between those cool but relaxing notes would, of course, be the scent of heavy sex. How could it not be?

Boggart — Ugliness There are very few things in the world that genuinely scare Lysander. Not bloodshed or death or gore or any of the things that would scare most people. At best, they might just gross him out a little. So of course the only thing that would genuinely reduce him to tears, force him to his knees in terror, would be something as petty as appearance. All a boggart would have to do to get to Lys would be to show himself... but as ugly and unattractive as it is possible for a living being to be. The very thought is inconceivable to the fallen angel, so seeing it right before his eyes would probably destroy him on sight.

grayson clemonte – task #2: mischief managed

house: ravenclaw 

Ravenclaws are creative and independent. They value logic and can find innovative solutions to problems. They observe and take in all that they see.

Ravenclaw House prizes learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members.[4] Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. They also pride themselves on being original in their ideas, and methods. It's not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practising especially different types of magic that other houses might shun. 

wand: 10 1/2″ hazel wood with a unicorn hair core and hard flexibility

hazel wood:

A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.

unicorn hair core:

Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

hard flexibility:

A wand of this flexibility is very difficult to work with and its loyalty is not won easily. Hard wands are great for complex and advanced levels of magic, so beginning wizards and witches may find extra difficulty with this wand when it doesn’t perform well for simple magic. As such, this type of wand is best suited for wizards and witches who are gifted, stubborn, and never give up. Owners of this wand also have a tendency to view things in absolutes; black or white. Some people may find them intimidating or difficult to approach.

patronus: husky

Huskies are fast, energetic, and athletic - they are also adorably cute. If your Patronus is a husky, you’re likely thought of as lovable and cuddly by those who know you. Inside, though, you are a ball of energy, eager to prove yourself. At Quidditch tryouts, you’re the player who says, “Put me anywhere you need me! I got this.” Nothing can hold you back. But despite your natural abilities, you don’t strut. You’d rather hang with friends playing frisbee than show off your trophy collection.

“Or perhaps in Slytherin, you’ll make your real friends,  those cunning folk use any means,  to achieve their ends,” - The Sorting Hat

WAND: EBONY WOOD + DRAGON HEARTSTRING  14 1/4″ & SUPPLE FLEXIBILITY

EBONY WOOD; This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. In my experience the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.” — Garrick Ollivander

DRAGON HEARTSTRING: As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.”  — Garrick Ollivander

14 1/4  INCHES - The wands measuring more than 14 inches are very unusual. Wizards and witches who have great self-esteem are preferred for these wands, because these owners mostly seek recognition and like to exhibit their prowess, being very honest about their personalities to everyone around them. They may, however, not consider their own points to be amended in some cases. If these wizards and witches come to accept some characteristics as flaws and learn how to hold them back eventually, the wand will increase in magical efficiency.. — Garrick Ollivander

SUPPLE FLEXIBILITY; “The wands characterized as brittle, quite or fairly bendy, quite or fairly flexible, pliant, supple, and whippy, are considered “flexible wands”. These usually fall in the hands of owners who like to progress quickly in life and face changes without hesitation.  Pliant wands can adapt to new situations quicker than others, being favoured by owners who seek for new methods of using magic. The wizards and witches best suited for supple and whippy wands are adaptive in a more cautiously manner, and even if the supple wand and its owner may take a little longer to learn from each other, their results are usually the most reliable.” — Garrick Ollivander

PATRONUS : BLACK MAMBA 

BLACK MAMBA - Widely considered to be the world’s deadliest and most feared snake, the black mamba has an impressive reputation. As the world’s fastest land snake, it can outrun most people. However, its incredible speed is not attributed to hunting but rather escaping threats. Surprisingly, the black mamba shies away from confrontation due to its nervous nature; however, when threatened, it becomes the ultimate force to be reckoned with.

✦ ELVYRA RAMOS — Task #2: Mischief Managed

HOUSE: Slytherin

“or perhaps in slytherin, you’ll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends”

WAND: Spruce wood, dragon heartstring core, 12 1/2" and quite bendy

SPRUCE WOOD: “Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude. It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. The spruce wand requires a firm hand, because it often appears to have its own ideas about what magic it ought to be called upon to produce. However, when a spruce wand meets its match – which, in my experience, is a bold spell-caster with a good sense of humour – it becomes a superb helper, intensely loyal to their owners and capable of producing particularly flamboyant and dramatic effects.”

DRAGON CORE: “As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.”

12 1/2 INCHES: “Wands which length is between 12.5 and 14 inches are larger than average, yet not rare to be seen. Wizards and witches who own commonly big wands usually perform louder and brighter spells than others, for their magic style and personality is of dramatic inclination, and they are moved by emotions on most cases. These wands work well for selfless owners, whose magic is preferably directed to serving others.”

QUITE BENDY: “The wands characterized as brittle, quite or fairly bendy, quite or fairly flexible, pliant, supple, and whippy, are considered “flexible wands”. These usually fall in the hands of owners who like to progress quickly in life and face changes without hesitation. Brittle, fairly bendy and very flexible wands may seem fragile but the flexibility of their wood allow the magic of the user to assume considerable power, yet they tend to pair with wizards and witches who have doubts about their abilities.”

PATRONUS: Cheetah

“Those with a cheetah patronus can be incredibly ambitious and, at times, very impatient. They, like their animal, have the tendency to rush into things or want to get things done quickly. They often look at the big picture rather than the small details, and focus on this in everything they do. Those who are tedious test their patience and annoy them greatly. They are always looking to have a good time or jump into the next activity of their choosing. The most common house for a cheetah patronus is Slytherin. The most common signs are Gemini and Aquarius.”

WAND: 14 1/2″ hazel wood with a dragon heartstring core and unbending flexibility

HAZEL WOOD; “A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably.

Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells. ” — Garrick Ollivander

DRAGON HEARTSTRING CORE; “As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.” — Garrick Ollivander

14 1/2 INCHES; “Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. While I have sold extremely short wands (eight inches and under) and very long wands (over fifteen inches), these are exceptionally rare. In the latter case, a physical peculiarity demanded the excessive wand length. However, abnormally short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than because they are physically undersized (many small witches and wizards are chosen by longer wands).” *wand length is large, but not exceptionally so. — Garrick Ollivander

UNBENDING FLEXIBILITY; “Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair - although, again, this factor ought not to be considered separately from the wand wood, core and length, nor of the owner’s life experience and style of magic, all of which will combine to make the wand in question unique.” *wand is fiercely loyal and unbending to anyone but its current master, Alexander. — Garrick Ollivander

PATRONUS: Thestral

THESTRAL; “Being able to see Thestrals is a sign that the beholder has witnessed death, and gained an emotional understanding of what death means. Thestrals get a bad reputation as unlucky omens, probably due to their spooky appearance and association with death. The reality is that these intriguing creatures, which are only visible to people who have witnessed death and accepted its significance, are gentle and kind. Thestrals can fly at incredibly fast speeds and have a keen sense of direction. If the herd that lives in the Forbidden Forest is any indication, Thestrals can be extremely loyal to their human friends and will fiercely attack their enemies. This makes the Thestral an intimidating and powerful Patronus. ” — MuggleNet

ADA RHODES - Task #2: Mischief Managed. (PURE BLOOD)

HOUSE: Slytherin. 

Slytherins are associated with cunning, ambition and a tendency to look after their own. They have a aptness to be strong leaders, and are rather achievement-oriented. Slytherins also have a highly developed senses of self-preservation. This means that they tend to hesitate before acting, so as to weigh all possible outcomes before deciding exactly what should be done. Despite this, Slytherins show a great deal of loyalty towards others associated with their house, and will never leave one of their own behind.

WAND: 13″ beech wood with a dragon heartstring core and unbending flexibility.

Beech wood: “The most important thing about a Beech wand is that they perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. The beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, if matched with the right partner. The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. Such wizards and witches, having obtained a beech wand without having been suitably matched (yet coveting this most desirable, richly hued and highly prized wand wood), have often presented themselves at the homes of learned wandmakers such as myself, demanding to know the reason for their handsome wand’s lack of power. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation.” - Garrick Ollivander.

Dragon Heartstring: “As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.” - Garrick Ollivander.

Unbending Flexibility: ‘The wands described as hard, rigid, solid, stiff, unbending, and unyielding, are regarded as “rigid wands”. Most wizards and witches who use magic in a more traditional way and are rigorous when taking decisions are chosen by these wands. Hard wands are usually the most difficult to adapt to the user, and the wizards and witches who succeed with these wands are of enviable determination. The owner of an unbending wand is usually a selective wizard or witch. In many cases, the best wands for duels present unbending or unyielding rigidity, and the magic produced by these wands are the hardest to be undone.” - Tiago

PATRONUS: Dragon.

One of the most powerful and formidable creatures of the magical world, dragons are ambitious and dominant. With the ability to breathe fire, they quickly assert themselves, garnering both fear and respect from those around them. They are unafraid to take risks and prefer to live by their own set of rules. They are quick to lead and do not back down from a challenge. Dragons are strong in their convictions and will stand for what they believe is right. Those with a dragon for a Patronus are sure to be fierce fighters, and the Dementors better be ready for a challenge!

Wand: Ebony Wood with a Pheonix Feather Core, 13″ and Supple Flexibility

EBONY WOOD: “This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves.

In my experience, the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.” --  Garrick Ollivander

PHOENIX FEATHER CORE: “This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.” --  Garrick Ollivander

Patronus: Sparrowhawk 

“Sparrowhawks, long used in falconry, make tenacious Patronuses that will send Dementors flying in the other direction. The sparrowhawk will shoot from the caster’s wand, come in close for an attack, and return to ensure its safety. Once committed to an attack, sparrowhawks will never stop pursuing their target. A witch or wizard would have a hard time finding a more ferocious friend!” -- MuggleNet

House: Ravenclaw

Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, intellectual ability and creativity. Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird, as well as their outstanding intelligence. They can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. While others may be inclined to shun and ridicule such people, Ravenclaws generally accept and celebrate these eccentrics. Though they are often called stuck up, that is not the case.

Patronus: Black Mare

This animal is typical for people who show strong motivation in life and usually represents passion, determination, and an appetite for freedom. Black is a relatively uncommon coat color, so this could represent a part of your personality that you'd rather keep hidden or just reveal to your personal circle. This specific color could also refer to instinctual urges of your mind for the unknown and mysterious.
