FATHER: reginald kwame johnson. warm but complicated relationship: growing up, angelina didn't see too much of her father. she got birthday presents and christmas cards and all the little things that people get from their fathers, but she never saw him. day to day, it was just her and her mum. now she'll say it doesn't matter, they didn't have any room for him, really, or any need, but the part of her that's still a child aches for the one relationship she never truly had. things have been getting better. slowly.

MOTHER: corina elizabeth meadowes. incredibly close with: her mother was her entire world growing up. despite the lack of magic pouring from her fingertips, her mum was always the most magical thing in the world to her - no if, ands or buts about it. she absorbed her mothers love of quidditch, her penchant for double layering and always wearing her braids piled high atop her head. there is very little in her that her mother isn't responsible for - the good, and the bad. they correspond daily and are as close as mum and daughter can be.

SIBLINGS: harry james potter (non biological, obviously, but spiritually so). he was eighteen, skinny as a literal garden rake the first time she saw him. it doesn't matter that they're not biologically related - that he tends to burn in the sun while she seems to glow, that he grew up surrounded by muggles, deprived of what he should have gotten, while she got cobbled streets and honeydukes weekly. quidditch brought them together - but it was choice that solidified her place in his life, and his place in hers. and if anybody knows angelina, they know that she's not taking that choice back, not for all the money in the world.

EXTENDED FAMILY: yao johnson (paternal grandfather), rhea johnson nee tuft (paternal grandmother), leonidas meadowes (maternal grandfather, deceased), avigail meadowes nee figg (maternal grandmother, deceased), dorcas meadowes (maternal aunt, deceased), rosmerta meadowes (maternal aunt via marriage), arabella figg (cousin some times removed).

PETS: several adders and grass snakes, owl named albright.

ORIENTATION: panromantic, pansexual.

LOYALTY: her mother. harry. her fellow gryffindors. the order of the phoenix. albus dumbledore, though she's cross with him at the minute.

#𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜.

HOUSE: gryffindor. expect stamina, incredible courage, intense and stormy emotions, burning idealism and indomitable will. gryffindor scorpios are never drawn in shades of pastel; they are always blood red and mesmerizing gold. there are few followers born under this aspect; scorpio born into this house tend to be either leaders or loners. they are well placed on the quidditch field, where their natural competitive streak and their great store of personal energy make them natural beaters (or, really, naturals at any position on the field). expect them to get into frequent duels, and expect them to gravitate naturally to defence against the dark arts, for all scorpios are fascinated with anything dark and forbidden, and gryffindor scorpios will want to take their place as defenders as early in their careers as possible. expect passion. expect wisdom. but don't expect a lot of time to take a breather. many people born under this aspect also end up as aurors; they're the perfect 'bad cop' to the 'good cop' libra wizards.

BLOOD STATUS: half-blood, daughter of a well known squib. the johnson family have always flown under the radar - never pure enough to be purebloods, not muggle enough to be muggleborn, just smack bang in the middle of the road. they've never been history makers, just quietly plodding along. the meadowes, though, they were vibrant, bright and bold - making waves, for which they were all slaughtered.

AMORTENTIA: tba.

WAND: aspen, dragon heartstring core, 13 3/4 inches, brittle. garrick ollivander ii often found that aspen wand owners were generally strong-minded and determined, more likely than most to be attracted by quests and new orders: this was a wand for revolutionaries. the proper owner of the aspen wand was often an accomplished duelist, or destined to be so, for the aspen wand was one of those particularly suited to martial magic; it usually displayed outstanding charmwork as well. aspen wands were particularly prized by the notorious and secretive club called the silver spears from the 18th century - whether this club still exists in some form to date is unknown. angelina's reputation in the dueling circle is well warranted - not only for her wand, but for her own indomitable will. well, that and her win record - which ranks her as the second most successful member. m dragon heartstring wands produced the most powerful and flamboyant magic and they learned spells faster and easier, however they were more prone to accidents. (see: angelina accidentally turning alicia's hair and skin a patchy purple instead of turning the rat on her desk green.) they were the most likely to change loyalty, but would always bond strongly with its current owner. it was also the easiest to turn to the dark arts, though it would not do so on its own. comparatively, angelina's loyalty is very much a firm, static thing: her wand chose her to balance itself.

AREA OF STUDY: sports magic and herbology. sports magic is fairly obvious: the study of magical sports, the most famous of which is quidditch, and it's management. herbology was selected as her second major - she knows she won't be a quidditch player forever, and the chances of her actually wanting to manage rather than play are slim. so, she has a built in back up plan, as well as what is now a lucrative side business.

CLUBS: chaser on the gryffindor quidditch team, member of the dueling club and president of the herbology club. the current iteration of the gryffindor quidditch team is one that makes angelina proud to still make the cut, even if she is halfway out the door to a professional contract with the holyhead harpies. the dueling club is mostly self explanatory - her magic is martially inclined, even if her majors are not, and she excels in spaces where she gets to do work that is physical, not just theory. (it's why her practicals always scored higher than her written tests, even during her owls - after which she dropped most of her basic subjects.) the current formation of the herbology club means that she hosts many of the meetings in the greenhouses or within her own private space, the expanded greenhouse trunk (yes, this was inspired by bedtime stories of newt scamander and his traveling suitcase).

PATRONUS: golden eagle. the golden eagle patronus means you are strong-willed and free, and aren't afraid to try new things and soar to new heights. the whole world is about you, you cannot fence yourself in, and you long to see new things, but still take comfort in home and familiarity. you can be grounded when necessary, but take every opportunity to test the impossible. you are a natural born leader, and perhaps you can be bossy sometimes, but you like to be in control. though you may not be overly social, you certainly have close friends you can count on in times of need.the eagle is a popular symbol in many cultures, but particularly native american cultures. eagles hold a position of strength, leadership and vision. they can spot prey from miles up in the sky, dive at striking speeds and soar for long periods at a time. to the natives, the eagle was the chief of all winged creatures, and conveyed power and majesty from animal to animal, man to bird.

BOGGART: her mother (and later harry) as inferi, voldemort's glorified puppets. inferi are the stuff of mightmares for wizarding children. it certainly was the case for her mother as a child, something that was unintentionally handed down - compacted by the fact that her mother's sister had been turned into an inferi shortly after her murder at the hands of voldemort himself. this fear has not changed, but it has darkened and become more defined and realistic.

#𝚙𝚑𝚢𝚜𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚜.

ETHNICITY: black.

NATIONALITY: british ghanian.

HAIR: black. braided most of the time in box braids or triangle box braids, often styled into either two buns or a single bun at the top of her head. has previously used blonde extensions with her braids. typical party outfits mean she lets down her braids or styles them into elaborate up-do's. senegalese twists are also common. naturally tightly coiled. natural hair can be cut very short between braiding sessions or kept long, with one section braided at the front on either side.

EYES: dark brown.

SKIN: umber, fairly unblemished. moisturising is something she does daily and takes great care to touch every inch of her skin, whether it is normally visible or not. wears spf daily.

HEIGHT: 5’7”.

BUILD: somewhere between an ectomorph and a mesomorph - 'fitness model' look, slim, not much body fat, fast metabolism but can and does gain muscle, v-shaped torsos, wide upper back, developed chest and shoulders, narrow waist, lean and agile, strong-looking but toned and not bulky arms and legs.

FACECLAIM: alyah chanelle scott.

VOICE CLAIM: merida, brave.

TRAITS: + self-assured, + passionate, + dauntless, = overprotective, = intense, = tough, - opinionated, - narrow minded, - abrasive.

STRENGTHS: charms, herbology, transfiguration, defense against the dark arts, flying, non verbal magic, can cook, has a driving license.

WEAKNESSES: history of magic, astronomy, ancient runes (fell asleep in class.. sorry professor), essay writing, intolerant of differing opinions (i.e. bigotry).

#𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗.

born in hogsmeade, scotland — it was an idyllic upbringing, until one considered that she was being raised by a single mother who had no magic with little to no support from her birth father.

used to visit honeydukes on a weekly basis - was a well known customer until she discovered zonko's and became somewhat of a little troublemaker on the cobbled streets. of course, nobody could be too mad because she was just adorable. 

attended primary school with other children from the area and surrounding hamlets. her first proper birthday party was held in the primary schoools assembly hall.

attended her first quidditch match at the age of seven and promptly fell head over heels with the real thing. she had been listening to it on the radio, of course, but had been deemed too young for the chaos of live sports -- which was not an incorrect decision, considering the match she attended actually devolved into rioting. 

she used to visit her grandparents and aunts graves twice a week with her mum. the engraving always made her mum so sad, though, and she decided a long time ago that she hated visiting them. 

always been an active person - loved to run, play football, chase after snitch toys some kid from down the street had brought out because the town was theirs again after the school year ended. 

received her expanded trunk when she settled on her majors from her mum as a celebratory gift. it's old, and faded, chipped a bit in the corners but still holding together - an obvious hand-me-down, though the fixture of an enchanted artificial sun within was an addition. 

she uses her trunk to grow ingredients for the ever popular weasley twins new business venture - www - and takes her payment in the form of discounted products and occasional meals. 

has a 0 tolerance policy for bigotry in any form -- whether it be creature based, blood based or based on the colour of your skin or the gender you identify as, she simply won't have it. this has led to her hot head getting her into hot water before. 

tends to consider her own opinion to be the right one, even if it's not necessarily the case, and as a result has the tendency to bulldoze right over people irrespective of their arguments. rare is it that someone can get her to change her mind - and usually only those on a very short list can do so short of smacking her around the head with the consequences. 

burned all the 'potter stinks' badges in possession of the gryffindor students in the fireplace in the common room last year and she may have gone too far in yelling at students who didn't really know any better, having not interacted with harry all that much. 

regularly sneaks out of the gryffindor dorms via the window. sometimes she simply climbs to the top of the pyre to sit and watch the sunset or sunrise on slanted tiles, or she flies. the latter is more common. 

her mum is a member of the order of the phoenix and quietly a very good friend of aberforth dumbledore. ange has always suspected there's something there that reminds him of the girl in the portrait he has.

is not against using tactics in games that are considered violent. once stole one of the twins beaters bats to ensure that a player that had been trailing and grasping at katie's broom wouldn't be able to bother them for the rest of the match (read: she knocked his ass for six and he ended up in the hospital wing). 

her mum is a squib, the last living meadowes family member. back when she found out she was having angelina, she refused to get married - she's now the only surviving meadowes left, having been deemed less than a threat by voldemort. the fact that she owns several shotguns has never seemed to occur to him - nor the fact that she would blow his little noseless face to pieces, and ange would help. 

had a handful of relationships that were ultimately meaningless, all fizzling out before it could reach any consideration for seriousness. there have been only a couple that she thinks of with true fondness - and one of them never even got off the ground. 

has been having nightmares about having put her name in the goblet of fire. cedric's fate could have been hers, and she can't stop thinking about it. 

she tends to her grudges like they're little pets, unfortunately. or fortunately if you've never had the misfortune of being on her shitlist. 

turned down the position of quidditch captain after a lengthy consideration. her schedule was already packed to bursting and she was ultimately unwilling to part with her membership of the duelling club or the herbology club, both of which are vital to keeping her sane and alive. 

she has snakes. originally it was because she heard that they might be beneficial for the plants she grows, and now it's just because she kind of likes them a lot, despite their obvious dark connotations within the wizarding world.

FULL NAME: ernest cyneweard macmillan

NAME MEANING: ernest | serious and vigour. / cyneweard | royal guard. / macmillan | son of the bald one.

NICKNAME(S): ernie, ern, mac

DATE OF BIRTH: may 30th.

AGE: 23.

GENDER + PRONOUNS: cis man + he/him.

RELIGION: atheist.

#𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚙𝚜.

FATHER: cyneweard maximillian macmillan. newly strained relationship: cyneweard instilled a deep, almost dangerous, level of pride in his son. after all, they were macmillans: sacred, long-lived, survivors and protectors. it is this that is his downfall. he refuses to see that voldemort has returned, whether out of fear or just disbelief - an opinion that, for possibly the first time in his life, that ernie doesn't share. it's resulted in a chasm opening up between them and there's only a matter of time before they'll have it out.

MOTHER: andromache florence macmillan nee fawley. loving but distant: andromache was a good mother to her only child. she couldn't have anymore children after him, and even though that wasn't a rarity, she doted upon him -- sending care packages and money under the not always so watchful eyes of his father. they're somewhat strained at the minute, as she, most definitively out of terror, has taken her husbands side in believing that voldemort is not dead, but he's still in more contact with her than he is his father.

SIBLINGS: none applicable.

EXTENDED FAMILY: maximilian macmillan (paternal grandfather), briar macmillan nee fudge (paternal grandmother), alcott macmillan (paternal uncle, godfather), dorothea macmillan nee fawley (paternal aunt via marriage, godmother), edmund macmillan (cousin), perseus black (paternal uncle via marriage, deceased), elladora black nee macmillan (paternal aunt), dorea ollivander nee macmillan (paternal aunt), garrick ollivander iii (paternal uncle via marriage), osric fawley (maternal grandfather, deceased), winnifred fawley nee gamp (maternal grandmother, deceased), aeson macdougal (maternal uncle via marriage), isabella fawley macdougal (maternal aunt), morag macdougal (cousin), adira smith (maternal aunt via marriage, godmother), calliope smith nee fawley (maternal aunt, godmother), zacharias smith (cousin), deimos burke (maternal uncle via marriage, estranged), araminta burke nee fawley (maternal aunt, estranged), elspeth burke (cousin), octavian burke (cousin).

PETS: owl named peter, pygmy puff named wendy and a therapy kneazle named lily. 

ORIENTATION: demiromantic, closeted bisexual.

LOYALTY: hufflepuffs, mainly. the light.

#𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚏𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜.

HOUSE: hufflepuff. hufflepuff geminis stand out for being geniuses at what muggles like to call 'multitasking'. they can't just work on one project - they need to have eight or nine things going all at once, usually as close to the deadline as possible. they also tend to be a little more outspoken and extraverted than the average hufflepuff, who would rather sit near the back of the classroom and quietly take notes to study later. because they often bite off more than they can chew, they are always complaining of various ailments related to stress.

BLOOD STATUS: pureblood, member of the sacred 28. consists of at least nine generations of purebloods. the macmillan family are closely connected to the following pureblood families: blacks, burkes, smiths, fawleys, ollivanders and the macdougals. a noted entry must also be the fudges, who have been considered pedigreed purebloods for only two generations.

AMORTENTIA: tba.

WAND: acacia, phoenix feather core, 11 1/2 inches, flexible. acacia is a very unusual wand wood which created tricky wands that often refused to produce magic for anyone other than their rightful owner, it also withhelld its best effects from all but the most gifted witches and wizards. this sensitivity rendered them difficult to place. garrick ollivander ii kept only a small stock for those witches or wizards of sufficient subtlety, for acacia was not suited to what was commonly known as 'bangs-and-smells- magic. when well matched, an acacia wand matched any for power, though it was often underrated due to the peculiarity of its temperament. acacia wands were not used often, as in the wrong hands, it would either be overpowered or extremely weak. case in point: ernie's father once took ernie's wand to show him how to perform a spell, and the wand practically revolted from his touch and refused to emit even a singular spark. phoenix feather wands were capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer to reveal this. they showed the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards disliked. they were most picky about potential owners, their allegiance was hard won and they were the most difficult to tame and personalise. ernie has only ever felt his wand act of it's own accord once, and that was to save his life - he has never managed to feel even the slightest bit upset about this fact.

AREA OF STUDY: healing and medicine. the focus of magical healing practices and muggle medicine. ernie is most drawn to muggle surgical methods and devising ways to make them more effectively used as part of magical healing practices, as well as potion inventing.

CLUBS: member of the slug club and the wizarding wireless. ernie has been a member of the slug club since he first started at hogwarts. the wizarding wireless is new, though, something that came about after cedric passed. he couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and well, he needed something productive to do and the wireless gave him that.

PATRONUS: boar. the wild boar is usually produced by those who are incredibly strong and noble. many who conjure the wild boar are normally down to earth and very reserved, but very dangerous and fierce when threatened. they are quick thinking, clever, and very competitive in battle, making these witches or wizards very confident when challenged. those who conjure the wild boar are incredibly honorable. they are excellent warriors and end to follow closely to tradition. the wild boar patronus normally belongs to those who are willing to fight for their beliefs and who are incredibly loyal. in short, it symbolises strength, power, athleticism, independence, avoidance of unnecessary conflict and defence.

BOGGART: voldemort over his friends corpse. he's never seen voldemort. there aren't any photos printed in newspapers, not even the old ones. just fear, hysteria disguised as normality. he doesn't need to, though. his nightmares provide him more than enough to be able to picture the man himself. the first time he saw his boggart after that lesson in third year - where it was a stone justin, by the way - he threw up.

#𝚙𝚑𝚢𝚜𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚜.

ETHNICITY: white.

NATIONALITY: british.

HAIR: blonde. short, heavily textured with added volume. low fade on the sides. product use is obvious - volumising mousse and matt pomade are preferred. gel is a no-go (what, you think he wants to look like a malfoy?)

EYES: blue.

SKIN: fair, unblemished. ernie takes very good care of his skin. people could call him vain, but he just considers it self-care and a normal part of his routine. okay, yeah, i'll admit the LED light he uses sometimes is a bit much, but who doesn't enjoy their skin looking good?

HEIGHT: 5’10”.

BUILD: mesomorph - athletic, heavy, naturally high muscle to fat ratio, medium bone structure, wide shoulders, narrow hips, ability to easily gain muscle mass, almost appears square. kibbe is natural - romantic.

FACECLAIM: leo woodall.

VOICE CLAIM: leo woodall.

WEAKNESSES: transfiguration, divination, natural disinclination to dark magics, has panic attacks, flying.

#𝚒𝚗𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗.

born in norwich, norfolk — he is very much a stereotypical southern posh boy for a good chunk of his life, as well as being the only child and heir to his fathers ‘empire’. 

home schooled until the age of 11 when he was dumped head first into private school (the same one his father attended, no less), where he thrived. 

hit a growth spurt at age 13 and was nigh unrecognisable if not for the same blue of his eyes to the school staff at the beginning of the next term. 

signed a contract at the age of 14 that dictates the terms upon which he is, as the eldest and only son, to inherit the family fortune. one of the terms was that he find a pure or halfblooded wife with whom to have at least one child. 

his family has many hands in many pots — though they keep their hands much cleaner than the malfoy’s do, despite being just as proud as them of their status in society. 

was rather a stout child, and some would say he still is as an adult. but he’s mostly filled out the soft edges with muscle. 

tends to talk about himself when he’s nervous — which comes across as him being arrogant and a bit of a braggart. he comforts himself with possibly mind numbing facts about his long family history. 

he had no interest in choosing magical law for his area of study, much to his father’s chagrin. he instead chose healing — a profession his father had to be reminded is just as impressive. 

often distributes snacks from his care packages around his fellow hufflepuffs. he hates seeing others go hungry, even if they, like him, are too prideful to accept charity. 

suffers from panic attacks and a probably undiagnosed anxiety disorder, which he is unlikely to actually get diagnosed so long as he is under his father’s proverbial thumb. 

regrets his - in retrospect very hasty - actions in calling potter a cheat last year. he could not get out of bed for two days after he came back with cedric’s body, and only did so after hearing how scared one of his best friends sounded. 

he has taken up running when he cannot sleep. read: he has taken up running at any available moment. it clears his mind, gives him room to simply breathe again. rugby helps, too, though that’s more about the bruises left afterwards. 

he’s known about the entrance to the hogwarts kitchens since his first year — whenever the hufflepuffs have anything even small to celebrate, he’ll often be put in charge of putting all the food and drinks together.

his father was approached by voldemort’s followers back before ernie was born. ever since, they’ve been monitored near constantly and everyone who comes to their family home is subject to rigorous background checks. they’ve had their heads forcibly in the sand on the issue of voldemort’s return. 

believes voldemort is back, much to his parents irritation. he has been instructed to keep his head down, to ensure the family name is not muddied by the potter boy’s ‘delusions’. (yes, they know he is 23. no, they do not care that the average 23 year old is not being instructed on how to behave by their parents.) 

he hasn’t been disowned over this but tensions have risen. he spent the last three weeks of the summer holidays with justin rather than stay at home. 

went through a history of magic phase in first year — the boys in his dorm can still recite the names of the trolls in alphabetical order thanks to him jabbering on about it. 

feels incredibly lost, if we’re being honest with each other. he doesn’t like to let it show because he thinks it’s a weakness. the world is turning back to war again and he’s honestly terrified - for himself, for his family, for his friends. 

has had a series of failed relationships that ended in disaster. he, a big believer in the concept of true love, is known as a bit of a bleeding heart despite being, well. ernie. 

producer for the wizarding wireless club, often takes the night shift with luna but is known to show up at 4am for the morning shift, the maniac, bright eyed and bushy tailed to get to work. he has allotted slots to talk about therapy and remind people of the importance of attending your doctor/healer appointments regularly.
