charles yaxley - 41 - grindelwald era - man of leisure pleasure - edgar ramirez
( tw: suicide, alcoholism )
the man you should never take home to your parents. charlie yaxley is a hot mess. the second son of the prominent constantine yaxley and his venezuelan born wife, charlie never expected to be anything but the half forgotten spare in his family. all the family expectation and promise was lain upon the shoulders of his older brother, christopher; the charming, intelligent and kind heir of the yaxley family. but the yaxley dream all came tumbling down when christopher killed himself at the age of 22, and suddenly, all the familyâs expectations were dumped on charles. but even then, at the tender age of 18, charles had acquired quite a reputation for himself.
charlie is anything but a respectable pureblood male. he may have been sorted into slytherin, but charlie was always something of a rogue, even in school. by the time he unexpectedly became his familyâs heir, charlie was already known to be a casanova with unusual tastes and a love of strong liquor. most expected him to settle down with his new responsibilities, but in fact, charlie did the opposite.
he is a figure of scandal and the subject of much gossip. he is known to have had relations with goblins, veelas, werewolves and various other creatures and half-breeds. his love of drink has now developed into full blown alcoholism, but he is somewhat infamous for his brash wit and cutting sense of humour. yet, after over two decades of familial humiliation, his parents decided to hitch him up with a much younger and still virginal pureblood witch. the marriage was arranged, and the unlikely couple wed, and after ten months of married life, charlie has actually found himself falling in love with his young wife...
quick facts: charlie is an extremely skilled linguist, being able to speak fluent spanish, french, german, goblin, troll, merish, and giantish. he has an extensive knowledge of goblin culture and history. his mother usually refers to him as carlos. if youâre from the marauders era, thereâs a good chance charlie has slept with your mother.
henrietta âhettyâ slughorn - 36 - marauders era - healer - alison sudol
if sugar plums and candy canes had a human form, they would be hetty slughorn. hetty is rather like a less ambitious version of her uncle horace; sweet natured, kind but also a little ditzy. hetty was the middle daughter of a younger branch of the slughorn family. her father was horace slughornâs brother, and hettyâs childhood was something of a quiet, retiring sort until the age of six when hetty was struck down with a case of dragon pox.
hetty spent a whole year shut away in her bedroom, almost succumbing to the disease at one point, and she would have done if it werenât for her uncleâs potion skills. it took her a long time to recuperate, and during her convalescence, hetty became a voracious reader, particularly of books to do with potions. it became something of a tradition for hetty to send her uncle letters at least twice a week, picking his brains about numerous potions and draughts she had read. she grew closer to her uncle than she ever had been with her father, but when hetty entered hogwarts, it was hufflepuff and not slytherin who welcomed her with open arms, much to everyoneâs surprise.
she would go on to become the most skilled potioneer in her year, and it was this love of potions which lead her to pursue a career as a healer. hetty is extremely passionate about her work, to the point that she doesnât have much of a social life. she is an extremely caring and lovable person, but most people will only see her in her work guise; the private hetty is something of an enigma, waiting to be discovered.
quick facts: hetty is extremely self conscious about the dragon pox scars she bares on her stomach; very few people have seen her midriff and she intends to keep it that way. she has a pet natterjack toad called albert.Â
