The Delacour’s were a long line of powerful pureblood wizards, sitting amongst the top of the hierarchy of wizards in French. They were not quite to the level of the actual Minister, but rare were those who never heard of that name before. And as the oldest and only son, Francis was expected to follow into the family’s footsteps.

Raised to believe in the elitist views, and that his family and families closely connected to his were superior to any other wizards in the Wizarding World, he actually never quite believed in those views. Of course, when he was younger, he did, but growing older changed those views.

What positively made him change his way of thinking was the day his baby sister was born, and it was later discovered she was a squib. He was still rather young, but he understood the way his parents and family members were treating her were wrong. Taking a stand for her and protecting her, Francis created a dent in his family.

His Beauxbâtons years went by rather well, despite the fact he spent far too much time away from his sister, during which it was impossible for him to keep her safe. For this reason, he started putting most of his focus and attention to his studies, so his mind could stay distracted.

With all the effort and time put on his studies, Francis ended up getting outstanding grades for quite a few classes. However, his true passion remained potions, making it very unsurprising when he decided to become a potioneer.

Sometime during his school years or shortly after, his parents arranged a marriage for him. They grew scared he would run off with someone how lower status, and wanted to keep the line pure. He hated every second of that engagement, including the person he was forced to marry.

However, it was during that time that Francis met Apolline. If it wasn’t love at first sight, it was very close to it. It became rather evident neither would be able to just let go. Maybe it was a rushed decision, but they ran off together, finding safety in England, and getting married along the way.

SOME HEADCANONS

As a potioneer, Francis mostly sells potions he brews. He usually has countless potions ready to be sold, and will take commissions as well if he doesn’t have it already. He is really passionate about potions, and is often willing to brew any potion people want.

He does not really go anywhere near that war people are talking about. Not actually from this country, he doesn’t believe it truly concerns him. However, if it puts his friends in danger, he will do as much as he can to help them, as long as it doesn’t put him or Apolline in danger.

Chiranjay, or as he prefers, Jay, was born in India, the oldest of 4, only having sisters. Out of this parents and sisters, he was the only one showing magical abilities.

When he was 8, his parents moved to England, where they opened up a shop selling various good(mostly food) imported from India. Despite having no interest in owning the shop once he grew up, Jay would still spend time in the shop, helping his parents as much as he could despite being a kid.

They were all in the living room, playing board games, when they received a peculiar visit. Once they finally accepted what the stranger was telling them about magic and a wizarding school, it took his parents quite a lot before finally accepting to let him enroll there. Of course, they made him promise to visit and write as much as possible, and to never get into troubles.

Jay was then taken to go shop his school supplies, before embarking on the train for Hogwarts. Which, once he got there, discovered magic was even more fabulous than what he’d read in books. The hat sorted him into Gryffindor, and upon hearing what that house usually was like, he knew his parents would not approve. But the hat decided, there was nothing he could do about it.

Still, his years went by quite alright. Of course, there was a bunch of other students discriminating him due to his blood status, but he made friends in his house, and other houses, who stood by his side.

During his years, Jay discovered a keen interest for magical creatures, and found himself seeking more and more knowledge about all of them. One particularly fascinated him, the dragons. So once he graduated, not only did he decide to study magical creatures, he decided to specialize in dragons.

Hearing the rumors about a war, and what it was for, Jay knew he could not just stand to the side. He had to help. It was sometime during the time he was 21 that he fully joined the Order of the Phoenix, knowing the more numbers they had, the stronger they would be. Of course, none of that, or his job, he ever mentioned to his parents.

It was sometime after joining the Order that Chiranjay met a girl, and while it might not have been love at first sight, it did end up developing into something more. Now, despite the brewing war, they’ve decided they should at least try to have good times as much as possible, which is mostly how they ended up getting married a few months ago. And also because he loved her too much to just remain in the dating state of a relationship.

SOME HEADCANONS

Sometimes, he wonders how different his life would’ve been if his sisters were witches as well. But he’s almost glad they’re not, since he would never want them to go through what he had to, or to even get tangled in a war.

He still often goes to his parents’ place, and always finds a new way to avoid talking about his job or anything regarding the Wizarding World. Obviously, they know this isn’t good news, but they’re not pushing it.

Colleen was born the second and youngest daughter of the pureblood Prince family, younger than Eileen by 10 years. Since they had no other siblings, it was only the girls, and they were rather close despite the age difference.

However, their parents were not that happy in marriage. While kids, the girls would often hear them scream at each other late during evenings. And as they grew up, they could sense the tension between their parents. Eileen was the one to find a way for Colleen to endure those times, giving her her very first book. That was when her love for books started.

Although with their 10 years age gap, Eileen left the familial house as soon as she graduated to get married with a muggle. She later gave birth to a son, Severus, when Colleen was 10. Even though still young, Colleen knew she would grow to love her nephew.

After that, every time her parents would scream, she’d pick up a book and read, getting lost in that world. When it came the time for her to join Hogwarts in the Ravenclaw house, Colleen found a place for herself, where she could discuss with like minded students. At that point, she didn’t read to escape the real world, she read because she enjoyed reading and discovering new worlds.

As a student, Colleen excelled in almost everything, although she wasn’t so good with magical creatures and herbology. But when it came to spells and charms, and even ancient runes, she was one of the best of her year. Another distinction she received during her Hogwarts years was being named a prefect, and later on Head Girl, a job she took very seriously.

After graduating, since she never lost her love for books, and it in fact grew, Colleen decided to become a librarian. Severus was 8 by then, and as expected, she did grow to love the child, often giving him books she thought he would enjoy.

There was, however, an issue at the first library she was employed. They possessed an old, particularly rare book about the Dark Arts. There was an attack at the library, a group of radicals, and they destroyed everything, trying to find the damn book. Colleen knew it was this book, so before they got to her, she grabbed the object and apparated far away. It was then that she decided to change her name to Irma Pince, knowing well enough she could’ve been tracked down if she kept using her real name.

Unsure what to do next, Irma showed up on Hogwarts doors with the book, requesting to talk to headmaster DIppet. She explained everything to him, told him how she believed the book would be much safer in the restricted area of the Hogwarts Library. He agreed, but it wasn’t the only thing he added to the library that day, hiring her as the new librarian at Hogwarts. And she has ever since been working at the school, taking serious care in every single books on those shelves.

Due to changing identity, Irma got less and less in contact with her family. She, however, made sure to contact her sister once in a while, to get news about her and her family. The last time they met, it was the summer before Severus started Hogwarts. And that night, Irma made a promise to her sister, that she would keep an eye on her son, and protect him if needed.

She believes books are better friends than people. This is one of the reasons why she’s so mean to students: they don’t understand how she feels towards those book, and don’t take much care when it comes to them.

Irma does, however, appreciate some students. She might not show it, but she actually sees every student as someone she should help and protect if the time came. Only few students have ever been able to break her shell.

Irma Pince is an anagram for I am Prince, which she hopes her nephew picks on with time. When she disappeared, he was still too young to remember her face, particularly considering he hadn’t seen her for over three years. She does not want to actually reveal herself to him, but rather want him to find it for himself.

With Severus disappeared, Irma fears she has failed her sister. She promised to protect him, and what good did it do? This will, of course, make her act out in ways people who were students while she was a librarian might not have seen before.
