Welcome to Hogwarts Aria, you have been accepted as Astoria Greengrass.

We’re delighted to see an application for Astoria that doesn’t fall victim to the fannish tropes of “perfect little princess” and your feisty Ravenclaw looks liks she’s going to be a lot of fun to play (and argue!) with. We are especially interested to see how you develop the inevitable culture clash between her pure-blood upbringing and her interest in Muggle things like jeans and space-travel, that’s a wonderfully unique and very Ravenclaw-appropriate direction to push her astronomical interests toward!

Welcome to Hogwarts Megan, you have been accepted as Ernie Macmillan.

We love your thoughts about how Ernie’s personality was affected by his placement in Hufflepuff in canon, and how that contrasts to how his being sorted into Ravenclaw will have made him different in this world. I’m also very excited that you’ve chosen to incorporate the prejudices and entitlement inherent in pure-blood society; it’s so rare to see that dealt with in regards to one of the “good” pure-blood characters in this world, thank you!

WHO ARE THEY? There are a few major elements that define Ernie: academia, blood status, and loyalty. Even before he could read, Ernie wanted to know everything. He was above and beyond most children who continuously ask “why” to their parents. He also needed to know the how, and he mostly would just watch. Once he could read, he did exactly that. Ernie would read and observe no matter the occasion. He just wanted to learn. Naturally, his parents were not in the slightest surprised when Ernie was placed into Ravenclaw, and this placement has only strengthened his desire to know everything. It doesn’t particularly help that Ernie has a consistent need to always be right either. He will argue with those that tell him otherwise, and he will use past observations or knowledge from literature to do so. As a pure-blood, Ernie has never been outside of the wizarding world. He has only read about it in his books, but with that in mind, all of his interactions have been with other wizards or witches. His closest friends before Hogwarts were other pure-bloods, naturally. While he has made a few friends in school that do not belong in the same category, Ernie still has a natural tendency to cling to older traditions and those who were also raised with the same mindset. If he were to ever discover that he was potentially not a pure-blood, Ernie would feel as if he was being stripped of a membership to an extremely elite club, not to mention exiled from his own family. While it is difficult for Ernie to make new friends, as he is very specific to the criteria one must meet to be considered of having such an honor, a friend of Ernie’s is a friend for life. He becomes so loyal that some people consider it overbearing and potentially possessive. Of course, he would never believe that he was capable of those emotions and argues with whomever may try to confront him about it. It is certainly a blessing and a curse for both Ernie and those he befriends.

Welcome to Hogwarts Becky, you have been accepted as Draco Malfoy.

We were excited to see how much thought you put into not just how being in Ravenclaw would have affected Draco, but how much it will continue to affect him as the more dramatic and polarizing events of the future unfold, and we can’t wait to see how he develops -- and who he develops into!

FAMILY: Father: Lucius Malfoy has a demanding, authoritative presence and wrongly assumes himself as more player than pawn in the intricate rise of the Dark Lord. With Draco as his only child, sole heir to the Malfoy Mansion and the influence it carries, he knew he had to mould him to be a carbon copy of himself: ruthless, cunning, and able to tell which way the wind is blowing. It was all going well until Draco was sorted into Ravenclaw, the house of snotty know-it-alls with increasingly perverse ideas of dismantling tradition. Nowadays Lucius recognises that he will have to be more severe in his parenting: strict teachings on the right ways of wizarding etiquette and an appreciation of the aristocracy, hands-on practice of dark magic, introducing Draco to the more dangerous of his colleagues. If his son can’t be a Slytherin, he will certainly learn to appreciate what it means to be a part of the House. Away from his role as a parent he is an influential member of the Ministry of Magic, most notably within the Department of Mysteries, and a Governor of Hogwart’s School. Numerous incidents - such as being embarrassed by Albus Dumbledore and getting caught (though not officially) planting Tom Riddle’s diary on Ginny Weasley - and with speculation surrounding his involvement in the humiliation of a muggle family during the Quidditch World Cup, have led to Lucius being very careful about his position. He is on thin ice and Draco’s success may shape everything. Mother: Narcissa Malfoy, though just as cunning and elegant in her charm and appearance, is more forgiving of Draco’s current position. She loves her son regardless of house and her only qualm comes with the danger the situation presents; she is aware that her husband is a difficult man and fears the constant pressure will have a hazardous effect on Draco. Throughout it all she hopes her son will have as little participation in the Dark Lord’s rise as possible, but she knows this is unlikely – whatever the case, she will protect him. (Aunt Bella: though she’s yet to appear, Bellatrix is sure to be malicious in her mockery of itty-bitty Draco – “this is exactly what happened to Sirius,” she would say, “before his family disowned him and he went mad.” Narcissa is reluctant for them to ever meet, warning Draco that whatever her sister may say, if such a time arises, he is always welcome home.)

DIFFERENT HISTORY: Born into the affluent and infamous Malfoy family shaped Draco into the sort of brattish, pompous and selfish eleven-year-old boy that only his parents could love. His childhood was spent being pampered by his Mother and his nanny, Polly, and moulded by his father through evening tutorage in the history of pureblood wizarding families, the importance of an authoritative, unmoving presence when socializing with those of a lower status than you, and the loyalty one must have for their family and for those that wish to make the world better, purer, once more. He met people that scared him, celebrated him and, by the time he was headed to Hogwarts there was no doubt in his mind – or the minds of his parents and their ‘friends’ – that he wouldn’t be sorted into Slytherin like the rest of them. When the sorting hat said ‘Ravenclaw,’ Draco remained seated, snorting dismissively. Of course it wasn’t being serious, it was joking, playing on the absurdity of Draco not going to sit with his rightful peers. But then Professor McGonagall removed the hat and sent him on his way to the table shrouded in blue and bronze, surrounded by the claps of the oblivious and the stunned silence of those who recognised his name and where he should be placed. First year was difficult; he was constantly reminded of the life he was cruelly denied by the presence of one Harry Potter, parading through the school with his green and silver tie, a flurry of admirers following his every step. Famous Harry Potter, powerful Harry Potter, Slytherin Harry Potter. It was sickening and he was consumed with envy, acting out more than usual: shouting insults down the corridor and blatantly disrespecting the large majority of his own house that were half-blood or worse. Though his mother assured him that they were still ‘proud of their darling,’ Lucius was not afraid to make clear his disgust: ‘you have disrespected a long withstanding Malfoy family tradition, dirtied our reputation with your allegiance to a group of people adamant in discounting the importance of history in their pursuit of an ignorant future. You will prove yourself loyal to us, Draco, or face the consequences.’ From thereon, he became ruthless in his desire to prove himself as a worthy candidate for the clique of elitist friends his father had been introducing him to (though Lucius still kept many things private, however much Draco liked to pretend he knew everything about the Dark Lord). In second year he badgered his father into bribing the Ravenclaw Quidditch team with new ‘Nimbus 2001’ brooms under the promise that he would dominate over the other teams and demonstrate himself as someone to fear, even after being sorted into the ‘den of geeks.’ With rumours circulating about the heir of Slytherin, Draco became reclusive and bitter – it should have been him – wishing death upon muggleborns unashamedly, desperately. All this was to no avail; Draco spun himself into a withering mess of stress and expectation – he would spend hours upon hours in the library trying to reach top of the class, to beat that insufferable Granger, only to return to his dormitory and violently ignore his peers. Any time he wasn’t studying he was flying and, despite the braver of his teammates attempting to create some camaraderie between them, Draco made it clear that he was only there to win, to excel, not to make friends. The Triwizard Tournament was the perfect opportunity to raise Draco from isolated Ravenclaw to celebrated wizard – he tried everything, aging potions, transfiguration, bribing older students, but this only lead to more time than he thought necessary stuck in the Hospital Wing. Of course, Harry bloody Potter somehow wheedled his way in, and Draco wouldn’t be surprised if it was his Father (so fond of Slytherin Potter) that made it so. Now, going into his fifth year, Draco is finally being introduced to the reality of his family’s involvement in the Dark Arts and the rise of the Dark Lord; his mansion, though not yet headquarters, is a strong base for discussion and scheming. Draco, not old enough or ‘Slytherin’ enough, is not privy to extensive details, but there are whispers that the Dark Lord is not completely dismissive of his worth – Peter Pettigrew, his loyal servant, was not Slytherin after all. He knows that if he does something big, focusses all his energy on putting his Ravenclaw mind towards expanding He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s power, he may finally find the acceptance he craves, the love he once had.

Welcome to Hogwarts Lissa, you have been accepted as Katie Bell.

We were very impressed with how much detail you put into her background and her family, and we’re excited to see how excited you are to explore Katie outside of her usual social circle! We also think it’s a fantastic idea to make her the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain; given how Katie is so often portrayed as a “follower” within the fandom it’ll be a lot of fun to see her take charge!

Relationships: Katie has never been lacking in the friendship department - in part due to her outgoing attitude, the assistance of her brother during her first year, and her kindness towards others. She definitely has her enemies as well - particularly those who have spoken against her family or cause harm to those Katie is close to, whether it be physically or emotionally. She is very competitive so I’d imagine that rival quidditch players would either love her or hate her for it. Where Katie is lacking is the romantic relationships department. She had a crush on her first quidditch captain, a friend and mentor of her brother’s, for the longest time. In terms of anyone showing any interest in her Katie is as dense as they come. She’s never picked up on anyone having feelings for her and as a result has never had a romantic relationship with anybody. She definitely acknowledges when a man is attractive and tends to find the athletically talented attractive for their talent alone, but she would never do anything to pursue anybody unless they gave her a very obvious sign first. I don’t want to put too much attention on relationships without discussing it with others. However I have come up with the following ideas after reading the other bios: - Katie would be close with Dean Thomas due to their mutual love of football and shared house affiliation. - I think Cho could be someone Katie used to be close to in their earlier years and that she wants to reach back out to after Cedric’s death. - Roger Davies would be a ton of fun to plot with as an opposing chaser and a flirt. I think it could be an interesting rivalry to play out. Not particularly as romantic interests but as having some sort of competitive tension between them. - Marietta would be one of those people that always kind of intimidated Katie from day one at Hogwarts. - Katie would see Gregory Goyle as someone to watch over and take care of, even if it did annoy him. She wouldn’t like that people made fun of him and as a member of her team he’s automatically considered family. - Ginny is also family through the team. I don’t know how close they’d wind up being but I can definitely see a friendship forming since they’ll be on the team together and they have a shared love of their house.

Different History: Katie Bell was born in a small town to a small family, but she loved her life growing up. She was a daddy’s girl through and through but loved her mom as well. She had a big brother that she looked up to like nobody else and the family was rounded out by their golden retriever Noah. Katie didn’t want for much growing up. She had Garrett and his friends to play with during the day and snacks waiting for her when she got home in the afternoons. She attended a muggle school for the primary grades and played youth football until she left for Hogwarts at age eleven. When Katie arrived at Hogwarts she was sorted into Hufflepuff after about a minute and a half of the sorting hat deliberating. It had been torn between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff but Katie’s work ethic and desire to go her own way, despite her adoration for her big brother, found her sorted into the latter house. Katie was nervous about being on her own but quickly made friends with some of the older boys who knew who she was through Garrett and clicked with a couple of her roommates within the first week. Nothing extraordinary happened during Katie’s first year. It was the typical making friends and getting to know her new school and subjects. She made the Hufflepuff quidditch team in her second year and got lost in Hogsmeade with some friends during her third. Katie has known that there were dramatic and sometimes dangerous things happening within the castle walls but she always tries to turn a blind eye towards them. Katie was successful until the end of her fifth year - which was when she witnessed Harry Potter returning from the final task of the Triwizard Tournament with Cedric Diggory’s dead body. Now it is becoming much harder for Katie to ignore that there are things going on beyond her social life and quidditch career. Before the Triwizard Tournament there was a clear favorite for Hufflepuff’s quidditch captain. He had been on the team for five years and was a seventh year during Katie’s fifth. No one could have guessed that quidditch wouldn’t be happening, but then again at Hogwarts one always has to expect the unexpected. Before she knew it Katie was tasked with juggling the role of Hufflepuff quidditch captain in a rebuilding year, studying on a NEWT level, and deciding what she was going to do after Hogwarts - all while coming to terms with the fact that the wizarding world wasn’t as magical as she’d thought it was.

Welcome to Hogwarts Ann, you have been accepted as Fred Weasley.

I love that you decided to challenge yourself with Fred. Your decision to focus on his feelings of inferiority compared to his more academically talented older brothers should make for a great base for his sorting and your choice to have Molly be supportive of his, George, and Percy’s sorting at first is very interesting and I look forward to seeing how that changes the family dynamic. Also we’re delighted to be your first tumblr roleplay!

DIFFERENT HISTORY: When Fred arrived at Hogwarts, he had big plans, he wanted to be different that the other three older brothers and not just for having a twin and doing tricks. He wanted to show his mother that him and George were more than just tricksters and that being a trickster wasn’t something just for fun so being sorted in Slytherin helped him achieve one of his plans. From the beginning of his life, he lived in the shadow just because he wasn’t that good at academics as his eldest brothers that were Prefects and so on, but he always found a way to sparkle in a way along with his twin, they had big dreams - dreams to prove themselves and eventually that dreams came true. He didn’t care that he was a pure-blood too much because in his opinion, all this pure-blood supremacy was just a waste of time. In his first year, during detention he found the Marauders Map into Filch’s office and stole it. That’s how the twins, with the help of Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail, and Moony, could walk at night on some corridors Flich didn’t even know about. As Fred liked to say, they were the Kings of Hogwarts. Growing up didn’t mean to be mature and forget about tricks, how his mother hoped. Growing up in Slytherin house meant doing even more tricks, being even more confident of their big plans and caring about academics less than at the beginning. He had lots of fights with certain people because sometimes he would take a joke too far, but everybody eventually got used to him. During his years at Hogwarts, he didn’t planned anything to get them expelled, living by his mother wish of finishing Hogwarts, but he was tired of experimenting inventions on himself - they promised to try study harder after they got a few O.W.L.S. but now that new exams are coming, he has no intention to do so. He and George have started their mail-order joke shop. They have been making prototypes for a while - the way they did in canon because this idea is flawless and I can’t ‘erase’ it. [unless an applying Harry player wishes to change what he did with the Triwizard gold, in which case you will need to come up with a scenario for how they accumulated enough money to start the shop--which honestly should be easier with them in Slytherin with lots of other ambitious children who might be talked into investing, or they could easily do something unscrupulous, or simply not have bet their money with Ludo Bagman in the first place, etc.--this all works fine]

Welcome to Hogwarts Beth, you have been accepted as Hermione Granger.

We were delighted by the way you’ve adjusted Hermione’s personality and history for this resorted world, particularly the way you skirted the edges of canon without letting her plunge in. And the idea that she was home schooled before she went to Hogwarts is absolute perfection! We expect you won’t have any trouble gathering that gaggle of friends you want and look forward to seeing how she matures and changes through the game.

FAMILY: Hermione is an only child to her parents, Harriet and Patrick Granger, whom are well respected and qualified dentists at the local dentistry in the small town that they all grew up in. Hermione is close with both of her parents, but is particularly close to her mother, who still to this day sits with her on a night whenever the witch is home and talks for hours seemingly about nothing, but everything all at once. Other than her mum and dad, Hermione doesn’t have a lot of other immediate family, other than a godfather (Alan Woods), and two sets of aunts and uncles (Jennifer & Micheal Bradley and Lucy & Norbert Masters) who both have no children. Every Christmas and special occasion they all get together and it is all in all a very enjoyable experience for all, and more often than not, Hermione gets spoiled by all of them, being their ‘prized’ child as she is the only young one around out of them all. Her mother (Harriet)’s parents, both do not speak with her, for reasons they are too protective over telling Hermione about yet, and as for her father’s parents (Patrick), they are very much alive but only ever see them around once a year, being very self-righteous they like to keep themselves to themselves. This only brings Hermione closer to them as they all have time for each other. Finding out Hermione was a witch, Hermione’s parents had always been very supportive over her, not having any problems with it and even priding themselves on how lucky they are to have such a gifted daughter, it was just hard for them to see her go every year. Hermione takes after her mother for her wittiness and self preservation in a lot of ways, having watched her mother as a role model for a lot of years, quite a lot of the shaping in her personality comes from her, the way she holds herself, speaks, and treats other people. Harriet had always been very hard shelled, but her and Hermione both know they are warm and quite charming when they want to be underneath. Hermione takes after her father for intelligence but also for her stubbornness, him being very clever himself, he taught Hermione a lot of what she knows today - not so much the wizarding stuff, for obvious reasons, but he was there to teach her how to read and write, to spell and to calculate, to walk and to swim. Both of her parents are her rock, and their relationship could be envied by a lot of others.

DIFFERENT HISTORY: Growing up Hermione had a very happy and lucky life, being home schooled up until she received her Hogwarts acceptance letter, she had read all the books and any information she could find, setting her sights on being placed in Gryffindor, but once there, the Sorting Hat had different ideas, and placed her in Ravenclaw. At first Hermione was disappointed, but soon learned to love it and realise it is just as good a house as any of the others. During 1991/92, Hermione had just arrived at school and very much wanted to be a part of everything, and to in all, be the best a student could be, and hearing whispering rumours about the Philosopher’s Stone and it’s history, she of course wanted to get stuck in and help. Although, she found it hard finding ways in to the mystery without getting into trouble, which she did not want, and spent a lot of time making plans and retracting them just in case something bad happened, collecting information only to throw it away. Once it was revealed it was Proffesor Quirrell who tried to steal the stone, she did try and foil his attempt by letting various teachers and people around her know, but was set back with the line of 'don’t talk such stupidity’, and she was sent away, only to watch the actual person who solved the mystery in the end take her limelight. After that, it dampened her spirits in taking part in Hogwarts’ mishaps like the opening of the Chamber of Secrets and people being petrified around her, therefore she focused on her studies instead, gaining a lot of knowledge in nearly everything and watching the bad events pass by with knowing she, herself, was succeeding in lessons, so did not need to get involved in any mystery solving. This was, up until her third year when Buckbeak was about to be slayed, she did not want to stand for that in any right, so she used her time turner to go back and correct these events, saving him and also befriending Hagrid in the process, glad to of done something to help in a subject she firmly believed in. Although she was not solely involved in the freeing of Sirius Black, she liked to believe she played her part by letting Buckbeak go and leading him to a place it was easy for Sirius to ride away with no other damage done to him. She saw others around the man, and only let Buckbeak off whilst hiding in the shadows, so to this day the students involved and Sirius himself do not know who helped him escape, only her. [ADMIN NOTE: it will be up to Draco Malfoy’s player to decide whether or not he still was attacked by Buckbeak but regardless we like your plan of having Hermione and her Time Turner on the sidelines of Sirius’s escape for other reasons, so we will totally find some way to incorporate that if/when we get a Draco player who prefers a different PoA history] As for the canon roles of Harry and Ron, with them all being in respective different houses, they have only seen eye to eye a few occasions, but she is silently jealous of their status most of the time, all in all, she is just too self reserved to try and talk to either of them, but this is very much open for change in the future.

Welcome to Hogwarts Jan, you have been accepted as Susan Bones.

We especially love your thoughts about Susan’s relationship with her Aunt Amelia and the way you’ve juxtaposed these two ladies’ personalities and aesthetics. We’re also very keen to see you explore the connection that Susan, Harry, and Neville all share due to their families’ losses in the War. Susan seems poised to be exactly the sort of “spark” you want her to be!

DIFFERENT HISTORY: Susan Bones didn’t know that she came from a family of dead folks right away; it was something that obvioiusly colored how the whole family (what was left of it) acted but they didn’t want to scar Susan by talking about it when she was too young. When they finally did sit her down and tell little Suz all about the war and how she’d had a lot more relatives once upon a time when she’d been a baby, it explained a lot even though she was still pretty young and didn’t fully grasp everything for a few more years. But she went along when her parents and her aunt visited the graves and she dutifully listened to the stories of people she didn’t know and tried to pretend she remembered them. She doesn’t remember living in America either, because she was so little, but she’s got the pictures to prove it happened. That’s all she’s got of most of her family too, which she didn’t realize was weird until she went to Hogwarts and heard people talk about their living relatives. At Hogwarts she was Sorted into Ravenclaw, which made her aunt happy because Amelia had been a Ravenclaw herself and she thought that her old house of weirdos and swots was the perfect place to encourage Susan to come out of her shell. She told Suz as much when she wrote to tell her auntie where she’d been sorted and to ask for tips in dealing with that darn riddle. (Riddles are not Susan’s strength but she does okay now after a few years of practice.) Life was pretty similar overall for Susan to what it was in canon, although being in Ravenclaw meant that she had to try harder to be seen as normal because folks just tend to assume that Ravenclaws are strange whereas Hufflepuffs pass under the radar habitually. She’s learned to embrace her own swottiness a little bit more and being around so many eccentric folk is making her loosen up. The main differences for Susan between being a Hufflepuff and being a Ravenclaw are yet to come. Now that Umbridge is here and Voldemort is back, she’s gonna have to come to terms with a lot of stuff that she could put-off, and being in Ravenclaw means she’s gonna be less content to follow other folks’ lead with that. She’s gonna be too curious and she’s gonna stick her nose into things that maybe she shouldn’t. And she’s gonna want to talk to peeps like Harry and Neville about what the war did to them. Maybe even peeps like Draco? That might be stretching it but then again curiosity is a dangerous vice so she might just stick her neck out too far and get in some trouble for it lol!

Welcome to Hogwarts Rebekah, you have been accepted as Alicia Spinnet.

The passion you’ve put into developing both who Alicia is and what she could be in the future have us very excited to meet her on the dash. We were especially taken by your brilliant ideas behind Alicia’s boggart and her motivating history of being a reserve player on the Slytherin team. It’s clear you’re keen on exploring not just her changes from her resorting but everybody’s, and we’re very eager to join you in doing so!

TALENTS: Alicia is bright in some regards, but not any better than the average student as a whole. She excels in Charms, where she enjoys the creativity in presentation. Her enthusiasm with wand-waving while practicing has led to some questionable results, which she has dutifully shared with Fred and George in case they find her most interesting mistakes useful. Her skill in charms perhaps comes from her willingness to keep trying in spite of failure. And although she is not quite sure what she will do with it after graduation, she is one of the odd students happy to continue for an Astronomy N.E.W.T.. Alicia remembers her star charts astonishingly well, and prides herself on never getting lost at night. A fair hand at Transfiguration, she did well in class and on her O.W.L.s, and continued the N.E.W.T. because she could not think of anything better. It did not have quite the same appeal as Charms, but it is at least more of a challenge. Initially, Alicia took on Arithmancy because of the promises of it being intriguing, and she feels “stuck” continuing it into her N.E.W.T. years. It is the subject that she wishes that she could drop since the other ones come so easily, but she imagines that a good score in Arithmancy will secure her success. Four N.E.W.T.s seemed like a good number to handle, so she dropped everything else without any bad feelings. It is only because her Head of House is Snape that she is relatively competent at potions, but she did not put quite the same determination into succeeding at the subject than her others. It was a subject she was happy to drop. History of Magic made her uncharacteristically anxious, and she spent the majority of those lessons wide awake and concerned about why everyone else was sleeping when she could not figure out what in the world was going on. Divination always felt like a joke, Herbology was okay but not worth the extra effort, Defense Against the Dark Arts too difficult to comprehend with the revolving door of teachers, and she got the heck out of Muggle Studies after fourth year anyway. Flying is where her heart is, and she is at her best and happiest when she gets to do that. Her quidditch friends are her greatest, and she does her best to succeed at it.
