biography:
born march 10th, 1960, the only child of hope and lyall lupin, who initially met when wizard lyall rescued muggle hope from a boggart. the pair had remus a year after their marriage, and as a child he showed a strong connection to magic, leading both of his parents to believe that he’d grow up to attend hogwarts like his father.
when remus was just four, nearly five, years old, his father - while in court for the trial of fenrir greyback ; a werewolf on trial for the murder of two children, branded greyback a monster, stating that he believed him to deserve nothing but death. deciding to enact some sort of revenge against lyall lupin for this outrage, forced his way into the lupin home and attacked remus, subsequently infecting him with lycanthropy.
over time, desperate for some sort of a cure, his parents took him to various healers and tried their best to make him a normal boy, but there was no cure for his condition. when it came to recieving his hogwarts letter, dumbledore had made special accommodations in order to allow remus to attend the school.
early on in his time at hogwarts, remus befriended james potter, sirius black and peter pettigrew, the three boys who would over time go on to become the best friends that he’d ever have. though renowned troublemakers, remus knows that they’ll always be there for him, they’ve proven it enough times over the years, and he’ll always do the same for them.
while he’s an amazing student who maintains good grades, he’s by no means mr. perfect. oftentimes when it comes to marauders spectacle pranks he’s acting as the brains behind the operation, and he never hesitates to lend a hand to james, sirius or peter when it comes to causing trouble.

name: alecto amaltheia carrow
birthday: june 14th, 1959
blood status: pureblood
sexuality: homosexual
affiliation: death eaters
spoken languages: english, turkish, latin, french
perhaps alecto carrow could’ve been someone else. as a little girl she was soft-spoken, gentle & loved to read. not a mean bone in her body, the carrow’s friends would say. she would spend her free time playing with the house elves or keep herself up all night so she could finish yet another story at the carrow library. her parents thought it was pathetic.
the carrow household was devoid of any warmth or affection. it was a cold, soulless place. what the carrows considered disclipline would often border with punishment.. and even more often with abuse, both physical and verbal. amycus was her anchor, alecto would say. she couldn’t even imagine surviving any of that without her brother.
there’s a saying that goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. that wasn’t the case with alecto carrow. she grew to be full of hatred; spiteful, possessive. she felt the need to be in control of everyone and everything around her; she would switch between aloofness, attempting to bottle up her feelings until.. she couldn’t anymore and simply exploded. slow to forgive & one to never forget anyone who has ever wronged her. her wrath has no bounds.
her parents have never expected anything more of her than keeping her mouth shut & to find herself a nice, proper pureblooded husband. a good match has been in the search for quite some time now; the carrows would throw dinner parties, introduce their daughter to family friends and their sons. being with boys.. it felt wrong. for some time, alecto thought there had to be something wrong with her, or that love had been yet another book trope that only existed in fantasy. that was, until she got her first girlfriend.
alecto despises her parents. she has always craved power; power of her own. being in the position to hurt someone has always made alecto feel good, even if it’s a short rush. which is why alecto has taken the dark mark; she does believe in the cause, but it’s not her main motivation.
it’s hard to be alecto carrow’s friend or lover; some failed relationships have caused her to close off even more when it comes to letting herself be vulnerable with someone. vulerability equals weakness in her mind.
wanted connections:
best friend/s. i imagine they’d be quite the toxic bunch.
past flings. nothing too serious.
most recent ex. alecto actually ended up falling for this girl. their relationship was messy, but passionate - it made alecto feel alive. the break up was the messiest of them all, though and now these two can barely stand to be in each other’s presence.
partner in crime. someone who’s always down to break the rules or dabble in the dark.
fake boyfriend. most likely a friend that alecto drags along to family dinner so her parents can get off her back about betrothals. or this person and alecto owe each other favours.
( cismale | he/him | lorenzo zurzolo ) —— isn’t that ÉRIC ALLAIRE? yeah that is them, sitting there at the RAVENCLAW table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees an imperfection in a glass that skews the view, middle fingers aimed at authority figures, unopened letters from home shoved under a mattress, the tingle in your fingers from a burn running under cool water, the side stream smoke from a cigarette causing a secondhand burn, and the scent of fall spices and dark wood. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty GLOOMY, SANCTIMONIOUS, and INCISIVE. apparently they’re a VENIT TEMPESTAS and PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
basics
full name: éric sébastien allaire
nicknames: honestly whatever kgfjds try anything and we’ll see how he reacts in the moment
birthday: 1 april, 1960
sun/moon/rising sign: aries sun, gemini moon, leo rising
age: seventeen
gender: cismale
sexual orientation: doesn’t care for labels
parents: henri allaire, 61, ambassador from wizarding france. cassandra franco, 40, socialite.
éric, the long awaited, and true, heir to allaire name. you were wanted so badly even before you were conceived that when it finally happened, when a boy was finally brought into the world, you could never disappoint them. but what if that’s all you want to do ?
the troublemaking began the first instant he realized he could get away with it, and that started at an age that even éric himself doesn’t remember. you’d think a boy growing up in a household with six other sisters would result in a boy donning the proper communication skills or even empathy, but you couldn’t be more wrong. you’re mommy’s boy and you could never do wrong in her eyes, it must’ve been someone else’s fault…
speaking of those sisters, there’s only so much of a relationship you can create with those you would never have anything in common with — an age gap being the only thing. the relationship with milène & aveline was one that was civil when it needed to be. he was probably seen as a nuisance, a boy with no goals or desire to work a day in his life. but with ellie ? a relationship that seemed more like destruction than any. maybe he found it amusing how much the two were alike, and how vastly different they were treated. his antics were cute, and, after all, boys will be boys. but ellie ? there were unspeakable things their mother did in retaliation. maybe that’s why they hate to speak.
éric is selfish, he doesn’t look out for anyone but himself and had the tiniest of dreams when first attending hogwarts that he’d finally be left alone by his family. he wished for any placement other than slytherin in order to keenly avoid aveline, and since he was called before ophélie, the hat roared ravenclaw and he felt free. that is, for the few moments before his twin sisters name was called and she was given the same blue to adorn as him. a childish grudge he’d still hold.
by now it’s obvious that the boy doesn’t like to follow rules. he doesn’t always play fairly, something quite evident on the quidditch pitch, especially with his sister being captain. maybe he’d let her win that round.
aries sun: those with the sun in aries are gifted with a direct, fiery nature that makes them one step ahead of the crowd. they take charge of a situation, and their sense of certainty usually makes others fall in line. this makes the sun in aries a born leader.
gemini moon: lunar geminis are usually pleasant, witty, and charming people. at home and with family, however, they can be moody and irritable at times. people with moon in gemini are always interesting people–they have a finger in every pie, are curious to a fault, and are generally well-informed.
leo rising: leo rising people are generally demonstrative, and given to grand gestures. drama comes naturally to these natives. in fact, some are so caught up in fiction, they’re a little blind to fact. they have an unusual need to be admired. they are given to rash decisions, temper tantrums, and excesses. however, they have plenty of staying power, drive, and their idealism keeps them from getting into too much trouble.
( cis woman | she/her | Lulu Antariksa ) —— isn’t that HILDE CROUCH? yeah that is them, sitting there at the GRYFFINDOR table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees fire whiskey burning her throat, a roaring fire both warm and dangerous, cold shoulders from those who should love you most, lightning cracking and lighting up a darkened sky of angry clouds, a stolen glance that lasts a split second too long, slammed doors, hiding behind reckless behaviour, hiding a heart that keeps being broken. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty OUTSPOKEN, RECKLESS, and COURAGEOUS. apparently they’re a FOR THE LIGHT MEMBER and HALFBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
Born less than two years after the elder twins, Hilde seemed to follow the trend of her parents’ relationship moving quickly. Little did anyone but her mother know at the time, she was proof of the deterioration of their marriage. Bartemius Crouch was not her father.
He found this out when Hilde was a young child, further putting a wedge between the couple, and between parents and child.
She was privately viewed as a cause, not a symptom, of a failing relationship.
But Hilde never knew.
What she did know was that Barty Jnr was favoured by their mother, and Alice by their father. Both seemed to disapprove of her.
No one’s favourite, but no one’s least favourite either.
Without knowing the true cause of the rift, Hilde made her own conclusions.
She was always a rambunctious child, getting in trouble for talking or not paying attention.
She was impulsive, often forgetful, emotional. All things that seemed to irritate her father to no end. And therefore her mother, for upsetting the house’s mood.
It got worse the year her siblings went to Hogwarts, with no one else around to distract from her.
Hilde was glad to get to Hogwarts, to get away from her family home.
It was not too surprising that she was sorted into Gryffindor--she didn’t seem to really fit with her siblings’ house.
But she found a home in Gryffindor, where her mischief and impulsivity seemed less out of place.
And it didn’t slow down either, with Hilde often getting in trouble with teachers throughout her years.
She’s not stupid--in fact, she’s rather intelligent--but she’s easily distracted unless something grabs her attention and holds it.
She’s an avid partier, never afraid to get wild, and falling into trouble that it often takes her friends to help get her out of.
But she’s also fiercely loyal, never afraid to go to bat for a friend, nor to speak out against perceived injustices, consequences be damned. She’s stubborn and reckless, but she has a good heart and a strong moral compass.
Wanted/Suggested Connections:
Friends!
People in her year or house (or both) especially! Hilde is a warm person, and will strike up conversation with anyone to try and make friends. She can be awkward about it sometimes, but she means well
Mentor (1/1) Dorcas Meadows
Someone who keeps an eye out for her, and tries to pull back from the worst ideas she has
Enemies
Her outspoken manner and willingness to stand not just her ground, but fight for others too, won’t be popular with everyone. Maybe Hilde and your character had a particular disagreement, or maybe they just rub each other the wrong way. Maybe her moral compass clashes with theirs, and she’s not afraid to say so
Hilde is not as straight as she thought. Not even a little bit. She’s always kissed boys because it seemed to be what was expected and it was fun. But she’s never felt like this before and, oh Godric, did it have to be her/them?
The Friend-Turned-Crush (1/1) Dianna Hooch
Hilde is mildly terrified of her feelings for this person and while she did break up with her boyfriend--realising that what she felt for him just wasn’t love--she can’t bring herself to admit anything. What if she/they don’t feel the same?
The Ex Boyfriend (1/1) SIRIUS BLACK
They were dating for maybe a year when Hilde broke them off. This could’ve gone one of two ways
ONE: it went well. They’d always been friends before they were dating, and really... the signs had been there. He was understanding and agreed to stay friends. Maybe Hilde even admitted to him about the real reason, making him the first and only person to know
TWO: It went poorly. Break ups are never easy. Hilde didn’t handle it particularly well, and ended up hurting him, though she never meant to. She wishes she could explain, that she could mend the friendship they once had, but it feels like the distance between them is too great now.
Flings
Hilde wants distractions. So, especially at parties, she does what she does best: acts impulsively. Mostly just kisses, often fueled by a bit of underage drinking.
( cis man | he/him/his | alex fitzalan ) —— isn’t that ANTONIN DOLOHOV? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other SEVENTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees dust collecting on photo albums of happy memories, the anguished silence after a heart break, clay hardening after it’s been shaped by an artist, the art of deflection, dirt washing away after a summer’s rain, and the serenity that only the night can bring. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty CONCEITED, DESTRUCTIVE, and FORTHRIGHT. apparently they’re a DEATH EATER and PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related. —— [ rai : EST : 20 : she/hers ]
name: antonin dolohov
birthday: april 20, 1959
parents: dimitri and katina dolohov
OWLS / NEWTS: in his fifth year, he sat for a total of nine OWLs; five outstandings, three exceeds expectations and one acceptable. he went on to sit for six NEWT exams with the hopes of getting at least five high marks.
HEADCANNONS
the only son to the dolohovs, he’s the pristine image of his father. shaped to be the notable successor of the estate, the conservative pureblood ideals have been ingrained to him to the point that they have become his own beliefs. to others, it may serve as an insult that he’s an almost replica of the older dolohov but it seemed like the only path in a world that seemed so black or white. it made sense to him as a child that they were on the winning side ; fear and intimidation always worked against him, anyway.
while known to be quite social, antonin is particularly gifted with his academics but he’s not the type to brag. instead, he quietly receives the high marks though it’s partly due to impress his parents and feed his own ego. it’s not through the kindness of his heart that he’ll tutor someone but if it will directly impact his own marks, he’ll lend a helping hand.
the dark mark somehow compliments the inner skin of his left forearm. it’s a stance that now even his own father could do , but it makes the most sense. there’s the attraction to power and he-who-must-not-be-named is simply the most mesmerizing right now. this marks the change in antonin - his father is a coward . it’s one thing to spew venom and the other to be the snake.
hogwarts is some parts constricting to the potential antonin sees for his life. he knows that there is more to life than studying, blindly following politicians or bringing a front to those not like him. his eyes are set on getting a position with the ministry, but for now, he’ll continue reading those textbooks and schmoozing his professors until it’s all but a simple memory.
bad boi with some feelings aesthetic </3 he truly reeks of privilege and is actual trash as a human being. but he’s more sophisticated with his insults.
character inspirations: steven hyde (the 70′s show) , blake carrington (dynasty) , john bender ( the breakfast club )
( cis woman | she/they | belissa escobedo ) —— isn’t that ALTHEA POVERLY? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other FIFTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees an abundant amount of records, books scattered, cigarettes lit, an eye for the dark arts, a stony expression, and tear dried cheeks. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty CALCULATED, COMPASSIONATE, and HONEST. apparently they’re 'FOR THE LIGHT’ and HALFBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
If she had the choice, Althea thinks she probably would have rather lived with her mum. It’s not like her father was a bad person, he just didn’t understand what was happening. The terror that was occurring in the wizarding world was only getting worse as time went on and Althea had no one to talk to about it. Not only was her dad a muggle, but her witch mother had wanted nothing to do with her. She never would have thought blood purity would mean more than a persons own child. As much as Althea wishes she could hate her mother, she doesn’t think she ever will.
All she wants is for it all to be over. Why does it matter whether you’re pureblood or halfblood? It still baffles her that the people she’s known for over three years still feel the need to belittle her just for her blood status. She just wants to be accepted, to feel like she belongs. Time and time again she’s proven herself worthy, excelling in the dark arts and being a prodigy in charms but its never enough.
Althea soon realizes that there’s no point in trying to prove herself. It’s better for her to stay quiet, stay cold and calculated, and to watch her back. Often, you will find her in the back of the library or in an empty corridor alone, silent, just hoping to make it through to the end.
( cis male | he/him | rudy pankow ) —— isn’t that ARTHUR WEASLEY? yeah that is them, sitting there at the GRYFFINDOR table with those other SEVENTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees floppy hair that always falls in different directions, a mischievous grin behind an innocent smile, a tie never quite tied properly, peaked curiosity for the unknown, calloused hands, & a laugh always bellowing at their own jokes. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty PECULIAR, ADROIT, and JOCULAR. apparently they’re FOR THE LIGHT and PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
arthur grew up in a small home with his 2 brothers and his parents
while being a pureblood, his family is considered blood traitors as arthurs father believed in the equality between wizards and muggles
having grown up with this ideology, arthur has always been curious as to how muggles live and what they have/do that’s different to those in the wizarding world
very skilled in charms & is always working with his hands on something new
arthur isn’t much of a trouble maker as he is good at bending the rules. for instance, he can’t seem to get in proper trouble since he always finds loopholes in things he shouldn’t be meddling with. this makes him a great planner
while he may be an oddball, he is fun to be around and tends to make people laugh (even if it’s mostly at him)
arthur is harmless unless pushed to protect his family or friends. he rarely sticks up for himself as he sees it silly, but will gladly do whatever it takes for someone else
aquarius sun: he isn’t afraid to break the rules. he is an innovative soul who is always searching for ways to improve himself and the community around him. he’s driven by the freedom to do things his own way, and often surprise others with his unpredictability.
pisces moon: he’s a deeply spiritual, idealistic dreamer — and perhaps even a bit psychic. he puts his closest relationships on a pedestal and see the world through rose-colored glasses. he is constantly picking up on the feelings of others, along with the mood of the atmosphere around him.
sagittarius rising: he is courageous, clever, and self-confident individual. he has a strong sense of intuition and is deeply philosophical in nature. in fact, he is often over-optimistic about life.
( cisfemale | she/her | kristine frøseth ) —— isn’t that GRISELDA ‘ ZELDA’ BURKE? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees a girl too often green with envy, a hat stall deciding the route of a snake or an eagle, long hair tied out of her face, ink smudges and dirt on delicate hands, a sharp mind demanding more, and an internal conflict breaking external walls. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty ADROIT, RELIANT, and DIVERGENT. apparently they’re a VENIT TEMPESTAS and PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
as the second eldest of four, zelda is the first daughter of laertes and desdemona burke, with cleon burke as her older brother and two younger siblings.
while spoiled and sheltered during her upbringing, zelda has learned to be incredibly sneaky and seems to know a lot more than she could ever let on. however, she is an incredibly jealous person. this is because she was never involved in the things cleon was and she felt left out. however – she knows it was her parents doing and doesn’t blame cleon.
cleon is her best friend and someone she has always looked up to. blinded by his harmful ways, zelda has relied on cleon for most things during their upbringing. especially for safety.
she supports the venit tempestas and the death eater ideology, but however is not allowed to receive the dark mark per her parents request. they see it as too dangerous and want to continue to shelter zelda as much as they can.
zelda realizes that without the dark mark, she doesn’t receive as much “protection” which is why she has started to practice dueling on the lowdown. she wants to be stronger and smarter and tougher than people think she is. it’s almost as if it’s to prove to herself and to others that she is worth it and doesn’t need as much protection as she used to. it’s something she is working on.
she is incredibly talented in the realm of potions and is one of the go-to’s for a good potion. she can be found in the dungeons conjuring up something new and spends a lot of her time studying with professor slughorn who invited her to be a member of the slug club.
she’s also a prefect! having positons and being in clubs/working hard on school work helps to distract her from the things she can’t be part of or can’t control.
gemini sun: she is a chameleon, which makes her personality hard to describe since it changes all the time. those born under the sign of the "twins" have at least two personalities, but often many more. her insatiable curiosity keeps her learning new things, and this makes her like a walking encyclopedias of knowledge.
capricorn moon: she wants a steady home base and may be tradition-minded. she is determined and disciplined. she wants self-mastery, and carries a sense of the loner with her, for that reason.
scorpio rising: she has strong, churning emotions that are often kept concealed. others find her mysterious and secretive; for them, she seems to turn on the charm strategically.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
a dueling tutor! someone who is skilled at DADA possibly & can help her gain more skills
zelda has never been in a relationship before but has come to the realization that she does like girls more than guys so something playing off her realizations/coming to terms with her sexuality 👀
another figure she happens to look up to that isn’t her brother
