They are natural-born leaders with an unparalleled drive to turn their visions into reality.

Description: Robin Ames was not a typical Slytherin, he would sacrifice his ambitions for his brothers and friends and often did. He was a horrible, horrible liar, no one ever believed his lies and he was overall considered a disgrace as a Slytherin.

That being said, Robin was not nice but he was kind and treated people well, he made no distinction between class or blood Status, which was unusual at the time.

✧ MAGIC ✧

Wand: Pear Wood, 11 inches, and Flexible.

This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in my experience, usually popular and well-respected. I do not know of a single instance where a pear wand has been discovered in the possession of a Dark witch or wizard. Pear wands are among the most resilient, and I have often observed that they may still present a remarkable appearance of newness, even after many years of hard use.

Other Magical Abilities: None

Patronus: A hare.

Patronus Memory: Holding Benny for the first time after he was born.

Boggart: The Dark Wizard that attacked him and his family

Riddikulus: The Wizard trips and breaks his nose.

Amortentia:

Robin  smells like Old books, fir trees, pears, something sweet yet sharp, and ink.

Robin smells apples, fresh air, and hay.

Mirror of Erised: The Dark Wizard dead and his family safe. After it's discovered the man died at sea, he sees Benny and River happy and his parents gravestones.

✧ FAMILY ✧

Father: Donald Alexander Ames.

Born in 1850, he was the only child of Jacob and Alice Ames, who belong to the 'off' branch of the Ames family. He grew up in an inn in an isolated wizarding Hamlet called The Wedge. His parents had a nasty habit of murdering muggles and lone half-bloods and stealing their belongings.

Eventually they were caught by Muggle Authorities and were allowed to be executed by them and Donald was sent to live with his uncle Robert at the age of seven.

Unfortunately, his parents had left their mark, Donald was a cruel and conniving man and the Sorting Hat barely touched his head before sorting him into Slytherin, where he met Lucy.

Oddly enough, he has one good quality: he finds Blood Purism and bigotry to be distasteful, the aspect of his parents targeting innocent muggles (especially children) always deeply bothered him and he feels they got what they deserved.

He's a terrible father though, he does not like his children, having them was an unpleasant surprise, and the only one that's a Slytherin (Robin) is really bad at being Slytherin.

Donald made his parents Inn into a reputable bed and breakfast. He died of Dragonpox complications in 1928.

Robin doesn't like his father much and generally ignores him whenever possible.

Mother: Lucy Jeanne, Morgan

Born in Wizarding Cardiff to James and Agnes Morgan in 1850. Agnes was a witch and worked as a midwife and James was a muggle, he worked as a pharmacist.

Lucy was the oldest of three children, the younger two being twins, Glynis and Glenn, both of whom were also magically inclined She was a peevish and unpleasant child but otherwise not remarkable.

She sorted into Slytherin after being a Hatstall between Ravenclaw and Slytherin for eight minutes.

Lucy married Donald after he was established in the Inn (they were both 23) and she had River a year later in 1874. In 1875, she had Robin and in 1883 she had Benjamin.

She wasn't as openly disdainful as her husband but she treated her children like dolls and didn't really know what to do once they gained opinions and general sentience. She does love them in her own way though and keep all their Hogwarts letters in frames.

Lucy died of old age at the age of 84 in 1934.

Robin likes his mother as a person but not as a mother.

Brother: River Edmund Ames.

Born on October 31st, 1874. River was the first child , a Ravenclaw, and was expected to run his parents Inn as they aged. He Did Not Do That and became a train driver for the Hogwarts Express. He married Natty Onai and had two sons Samuel and Kian.

He was very quiet and very serious as a student and excelled in Care of Magical Creatures and Ghoul Studies, the latter due to living in a very haunted Inn.

Robin loves his brother and they're very close.

River has a strange dislike for Leander Weasley, it is on sight if he even thinks he glimpses the other boy.

Faceclaim: Toby Regbo

Brother: Benjamin Matthew Ames AKA Benny.

Born on June 3rd, 1883. He was the baby of the family, was sorted into Hufflepuff, and wasn't expected to be much by his parents.

He became a wandmaker and owned his own Wand Shop in Nova Scotia, Canada, called Ames Wandwoods (Still exists today). Benny was often in the Hogsmede Ollivander's and had a million questions for poor Gerbold Ollivander.

He married his childhood sweetheart Molly Cash and they had four children: Jack, Acacia, Letty, and Mark.

He was very cheerful and hardworking, most people liked him at Hogwarts. He was a perfect and head boy while there.

Robin adores Benny and is very protective over him and Benny loves Robin. He follows him everywhere when he can get away with it.

Benny was very fond of Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt, the latter of whom pretended to be annoyed by it.

Faceclaim: Young Freddie Highmore

Cousin: Dylan John Wright

Born on January 3rd 1875 to Glynis Morgan, Lucy's little sister. No one knew who the father was and Glynis was quickly married off to a Pureblood named Thomas Wright. Thomas was the only father Dylan ever knew and was an overall good father to him, adopting him at two years old.

Dylan and Glynis came to live and work at the Inn after Thomas was killed in his work as an Unspeakable when Dylan was eight.

Dylan was sorted into Slytherin after being a Hatstall between Slytherin and Gryffindor. He's cunning, a bit ruthless, and a fierce fighter.

He joins Robin in his Cursebreaking ventures after several failed attempts at business, including a general store in America.

Robin and Dylan are thick as thieves and consider the other their best friend.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Childhood: 

Robin and River spent a lot of their childhood staying out of their father's way and dealing with their mother's oddities while helping in the Inn. After Dylan moved in they spent hours exploring the countryside and hiding from their parents.

Benny's birth was the one bright spot in Robin' life.

Hogwarts Years:

Robin ended up entering Hogwarts in his Fifth year due to an attack by a Dark Wizard (that his father had offended) nearly rendering him, his brother, and his cousin into Squibs. Professor Fig managed to coax them out of their shells and back into Magic.

Adulthood:

After graduating from Hogwarts, Robin worked as a Cursebreaker for Gringotts Bank and met Katherine Weeks, an American Witch and consultant on unique American cursed artifacts.

They fell in love, to the annoyance of Robin's parents and to the delight of Katherine's, both were the children of Purebloods but Katherine's mother Em was a Squib and her father Frank was not gifted at magic, both becoming apple farmers rather than entering any strictly magical field as a result.

They got married , left Gringotts, and started their own Cursebreaking business with the help of Dylan Wright.

Old Age:

Robin spends time with his surviving immediate family (Benny, Katherine, and Dylan, River dies in his late forties) and friends. He gets very good at muggle chess.

Death: 

Robin died of old age in 1970 while sleeping in his favorite chair. He was 95 years old and left two surviving children, four grandchildren , and eight great grandchildren: Rubin Orn, Wren Ames, Fiadah O'Faud, Jacob 'Danny' Ames, Bryn Ames, Hecate Ames, Sean Ames, and Evangeline Baker-Ames.

Trivia:

Robin is the great-grandfather of the Ames children. He met Rubin, Wren, Fiadah, and Danny but died before the others were born. He was particularly fond of Fiadah and would have loved Sean and Hecate.

He and River burned down his parents Inn after their death and freed many of the trapped spirits of his grandparents victims.

He loved the invention of the Television and was very fond of the Twilight Zone and Doctor Who.

Robin once killed an early version of a death eater. He was tried but found innocent.

His favorite movie was Snow White and The Seven Dwarves.

Hates Wizard's Chess but loves Muggle Chess, because the latter is sensible and the pieces do not Move About or Have Opinions On People's Outfits.

Voldemort’s Assistant, Kevin

[everything-narrative]

From Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky:

“Yes,” said Professor Quirrell. “I know.” The Defense Professor was wearing a very odd smile. “I really should have thought of that myself, all things considered. Tell me, Mr. Potter, if you wanted to lose something where no one would ever find it again, where would you put it?”

Harry considered this question. “I suppose I shouldn’t ask what you’ve found that needs losing -“

“Quite,” said Professor Quirrell, as Harry had expected; and then, “Perhaps you will be told when you are older,” which Harry hadn’t.

“Well,” said Harry, “besides trying to get it into the molten core of the planet, you could bury it in solid rock a kilometer underground in a randomly selected location - maybe teleport it in, if there’s some way to do that blindly, or drill a hole and repair the hole afterward; the important thing would be not to leave any traces leading there, so it’s just an anonymous cubic meter somewhere in the Earth’s crust. You could drop it into the Mariana Trench, that’s the deepest depth of ocean on the planet - or just pick some random other ocean trench, to make it less obvious. If you could make it buoyant and invisible, then you could throw it into the stratosphere. Or ideally you would launch it into space, with a cloak against detection, and a randomly fluctuating acceleration factor that would take it out of the Solar System. And afterward, of course, you’d Obliviate yourself, so even you didn’t know exactly where it was.”

The Defense Professor was laughing, and it sounded even odder than his smile.

“Professor Quirrell?” Harry said.

“All excellent suggestions,” said Professor Quirrell. “But tell me, Mr. Potter, why those exact five?”

“Huh?” said Harry. “They just seemed like the obvious sorts of ideas.”

[ozymandias314-deactivated201404]

You know the entire problem is solved if Horcruxes have to be made from something important to the person making them. In fact, I think that that’s such an easy solution to the problem that it is now canon in my head.
