BIO

With a fairly normal upbringing, one would ask why Remus is so sad all the time? Born to two perfectly fine parents in a perfectly normal household. He had a pretty good childhood. He was free to roam about his neighborhood as long as he wanted. Or at least until sundown. He even had a gang of perfectly fine and normal friends he could lean on and play with. As a matter of fact, they had a habit of playing Truth or Dare every Friday night before going home. It was in one of these times that he met a boy who would later become one of his best friends for the rest of his life, Peter. His friends had dared him to go ding dong ditch a house that was just a little way down the road from Remus’s own. It was shabby and breaking down. Screaming could be heard at all hours of the day and because of that it left the kids of the neighborhood scared of it. But when Remus knocked on the door, he couldn’t run away. Not after what he found when the door swung open. 

A boy about his age who looked beaten and abused and scared had opened the door. Without another thought, Remus introduced himself and dragged him out to play with the rest of the neighborhood kids. Despite being only eight or nine years old, he knew that what was going on in that house was not good and his intuition told him that he needed to save Peter. After that the two were inseparable and Peter spent most nights at Remus’s house. But it was another Friday night that led to the very thing that altered his life forever. His mom and signaled for Remus to come home but they were right in the middle of a game of Truth or Dare. He told himself a few more minutes wouldn’t hurt and then there came a deafening howl. 

The boys sat in fear at it hit their ears and even though they were terrified of where that howl came from, Peter dared Remus to follow it and find out. He was never one to back down from a dare and immediately did as he was dared to do. But when he finally found it, ten year old Remus was met with a werewolf. Angered to have been followed the thing turned and despite the fact that he tried to get away...he was bitten. Leaving him with a life he didn’t want or ask for. He never blamed Peter for what happened to him, it was his choice to follow through with the dare after all. But after his first full moon he was disgusted with himself. He turned right in front of his friends and all of them but Peter ran away. In a fit of disgust and anger, Remus turned on his only remaining friend and bit at him. Though upon realizing what he had just done felt guilt that swept over him like a plague.

Upon entering school, Peter stayed beside Remus even though they were separated by house placement. Remus was placed in Ravenclaw and Peter in Hufflepuff. When they exited school and found themselves in the middle of a war the only logical choice for them was to follow their mutual friend James in joining the Order of the Phoenix. But then their life long friendship was shattered when Peter was killed as he sacrificed himself at James’ wedding. Remus was devastated. His best friend--no--his brother and the only person to have never been afraid of him after his turning  was now gone. He was there every full moon to help Remus with his transformation and had taught him that chocolate soothed the beast inside of him. What was he to do now?

TIDBITS

Remus is still reeling from Peter’s death and struggling to come to terms with it. It was his idea to try and pull him from the Veil.

He met Lily in their third year and was the one who introduced her to James in the first place.

BIO

Her birth was overshadowed by the birth of her cousin and the Black family heir. While as children the Black cousins were all very close, it was obvious that Andromeda and Bellatrix were sort of outcasts. Being the middle child left her in a strange sort of limbo in regard to her relationship with her parents. While she wasn’t treated as harshly as her older sister, she certainly wasn’t favored and adored like her younger sister. But this never really bothered her. Andromeda liked being on her own and minding her own business. It was calm and peaceful in her otherwise chaotic life. Though she had to admit that it was nice to have her older sister to lean on when it came to the mistreatment of their parents. It was nice to know that she wasn’t so alone in feeling neglected and shorted in attention. Even if it wasn’t as severe as it was with her sister. Andromeda would much rather be left to her own devices.

Once she was placed into Ravenclaw, things got a little worse for her. Andromeda was given even less attention and somehow her sister was still in good standing being placed in Hufflepuff. She was confused and a little hurt but once she entered her fifth year she started to see the silver lining in her mistreatment and lack of attention. This newfound freedom allowed Andromeda to focus on her studies and eventually she became a Prefect. She was top of her class and given special privileges by her professors. She had to world at her fingertips and free to become her own person and form her own opinions. Which is what led her to start talking to and eventually dating Ted. In her sixth year they finally took things a step further and started dating and even though he was a muggleborn, her parents paid so little attention to her that her love life flew under their radar.

Andromeda married Ted right out of school and disappeared from her family without a trace. Not even Bellatrix reached out to her after a couple of years. It was known that she was wed and that she had nothing to do with her family afterwards. Andromeda watched her named being burned from the family tapestry and took that as her sign to leave. It was sort of like a breath of fresh air for her. She was free of her familial ties and soon after that she was free of the name itself. She was no longer a Black and looked upon as if she was the plague. Once the war started it was like everyone had their memory wiped that Black had even been her maiden name. Andromeda made sure that everyone knew that they were welcome to hide in her home if need be. But with the rise of this new powerful being, she finds herself wondering if it was worth joining them and their cause. Maybe they could finally defeat Riddle and his followers.

TIDBITS

Andromeda doesn’t miss any of her family. Least of all, her cousin, Sirius. One would think that since they were born around the same time that they would be close. But they were not. Sirius’ birth made Andromeda nearly invisible.

Bio

The middle child syndrome isn’t as applicable when you’re the only daughter. Sandwiched between two brothers, in birth order and in every family photo, Helena Scamander never actually felt like she had to fight for attention. She could be a princess if she wanted, but that meant she had to act like one too. A real princess, not those spoiled brats on TV. She learned to be kind from her father. She learned to be generous from her mother. She learned patience and consideration for others from her older brother. Most of all she learned to fight for what she believed in from her little brother. Horatio had been born with trisomy 21. Though he was loved deeply by his immediate family, there was still cruelty in the world. Helena and Humphrey spent most of their childhoods looking out for him.

There were many things about Helena that ran true to her family name. She was sorted into Hufflepuff like her forefathers. She was a skilled witch but had a penchant for magizoology, growing into an obsession as her years at Hogwarts progressed. There were things about her that were different though. How she felt about girls the way they felt about guys. How disinterested she was in working for the ministry. How she dressed. All of these things set her apart, made her different. She didn't mind being different as long as she was herself and that’s what she always wanted for everyone else. For them to be themselves, not afraid to be different, not oppressed by fear or hatred. In the early days of the war, she thought she understood why people followed Voldemort but Helena found herself horrified when violence broke out.

Kindness was the answer. Hope was the answer. Couldn’t people see that? As time marched on, Helena withdrew more from the wide world. The rotation of part time jobs she usually worked to support herself and the animals she rescued were all given up to spend time at home with her family and those animals. She found comfort and security in caring for them and soon enough the plot of land her parents had given her was housing dozens of stray creatures. Necessity was the mother of invention and Helena set about turning her property into a proper sanctuary. She lives modestly herself now, in a small cottage at the back of the plot. Most of the money she makes from ticket sales and donations to the sanctuary go right back into helping the animals. Two other zookeepers, Horatio and unpaid interns keep the place going.

It’s hard a lot of the time and she gets lonely on occasion but her priority is the sanctuary. She’s created her own corner of paradise, a place of hope and smiling faces. Somewhere people can escape from their troubles to a surreal, beautiful adventure; where she is still a princess upholding the rights of kindness, generosity and most of all hope. It’s a place where people appreciate her brother. A place where they can see beautiful animals and be inspired to protect them as well. Although she’s been able to keep out of the war, pressure seems to be rising. Helena doesn’t know what to think anymore, she supports the order but has no desire to fight. No one wins a war after all. She wants to keep her animals safe. She just can’t help but feel like she has to make a choice and it is the last thing she wants to do.

BIO

His family never really had a lot of anything. While they never left their son wanting for anything they also didn’t have a lot of money to spare of frivolous things. Frank was an easy-going child and could make friends wherever he went. He was easy to get along with and easy to talk to. Others would just seem to gravitate towards him. By the time he was ten he was giving advice to other kids and playing therapist for others. For being only ten years old, Frank made some pretty good points and had valid advice to give. Eventually older kids started to go to him as well and despite the fact that Frank was still a kid, he never seemed to get overwhelmed or frustrated with anyone he spoke to or helped. As a matter of fact, he sort of missed his life when his parents moved them from Wales to London. But then he met their neighbors and time seemed to cease to exist.

Their neighbors were a little wealthier than they were but they were a humble family. Made up just the same way his family was. Except instead of having one son, they had one daughter: Alice. It was love at first sight at ten years old for Frank and he knew immediately that he had to marry her. For the next year he spent trying to spend as much time with Alice as he could. Trying to get to know her and know her like the back of his hand. A year later he got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts and was placed in Hufflepuff. Frank was devastated where he should be thrilled that he wasn’t a squib. He wanted to stay where he was and hang out with Alice. But then he saw her in be sorted and it was like a weight lifted from his chest. She was just like him: magic.

With both of them at the same school year-round now that meant that Frank could spend more time with her than he had before. He was fairly decent at his studies and kept up his grades well. Alice wasn’t his main focus, after all. He even made the Hufflepuff Quidditch team as the Keeper. Eventually he started paying attention to the crowd and all the cheers they were getting in the stands and that was when he saw her. She had gone to his game and was cheering for him. After the last game of the season in their fifth year, Frank found her and from there they talked for hours. Alice agreed to go on a date with him and it was history in the making from there on out. Once they left school everything changed and while they remained together romantically, they began to fight a little more. Life became a little more strained than it was before. Frank blamed the war.

When the war began everything shifted. He had strong beliefs and ideals. Knew exactly how he felt and where he stood. He knew what he wanted to do and what he wanted to do was make a difference. So, when an old friend from school sought him out to help the rebel cause, Frank agreed immediately. But Alice didn’t seem to think the same way. It was dangerous and it caused them to have a fight so bad that they called off their engagement. But maybe that was for the best since James and Lily’s wedding was attacked.

BIO

No one is entirely sure when the snap happened or why. But one day sweet little Edgar wasn’t so sweet anymore. He had a normal upbringing with normal parents and lived a fairly normal life. Nothing of significance happened to him as a child or even a teen. His family was pureblood but none of them really bought into the pureblood ideals. They wanted equality for everyone and believed that everyone deserved the same treatment. His parents passed the same ideals onto their children. Or at least they tried to. Edgar was a sweet boy when he was younger. Caring for everyone and everything. He would find hurt birds and nurse them back to health. Once his little sister was born, he spent most of his time playing with her and teaching her new things. Just generally being a big brother.

As he was accepted into Hogwarts, he was placed in Hufflepuff. Which seemed very fitting for the kind of boy he was at the time. Edgar was kind, helpful and true to his friends. But somewhere along the lines it was like a switch went off within him. Almost every day for two years in school he was bullied for being “too soft.” Eventually he was even bullied to the point where he didn’t want to go back to school. Coming up with different excuses as to why he shouldn’t or couldn’t go back. His parents were confused. It wasn’t like he was failing or anything. Edgar was exceptionally good with his wand and could master nearly every subject they through at him. It was Amelia, his little sister, who outed him for his reasoning one summer.

Their parents were heartbroken for their sweet son. Getting him into therapy during the summers to help him cope and battle the oncoming issues that arose with being bullied at a place that was supposed to be a safe haven for all walks of life. But when Edgar hit his fifth year at Hogwarts and his second year of therapy, something happened. One group of boys came up and shoved him hard in the back. When he turned around to face them, he wasn’t sweet little Edgar anymore. That switch had flipped, and he drew his wand, firing a curse at the boy who had shoved him. The curse hit him square in the chest and the boy ended up in the infirmary for a week after that.

When it came time to leave the school and the war came upon them, Edgar knew exactly what path he was choosing. His little sister, Amelia, had already chosen before he had even considered the Dark Lord an option, so it was only natural that he followed her into the ranks. After all, after he had sent that boy flying in school, he realized one thing. That hurting others felt good.

BIO

It was always somewhat of a disappointment that she was born first. Despite the fact that even as a small child she was exceptional and talented. Bellatrix knew from a young age that she was unwanted. It was in the way her family looked at her because she wasn’t a boy and in the way her father treated her. While her mother wasn’t the most warm and affectionate woman, she was certainly better than her husband when it came to their children. Bellatrix tried her hardest to make her father love and adore her the way he eventually would her younger sister. But nothing she ever did was enough. Even at a young age she was a natural at most things she tried. Especially when it came to magic. None of that mattered though and she was left wanting more than she would ever get from her father. Or the rest of the Black family for that matter. She wasn’t the heir and that was all that mattered to them all.

When she was two her mother gave her a little sister, Andromeda. As they grew older they were rather close. Doing most things together and keeping each other’s secrets. They were proper sisters and Bellatrix vowed to always keep her sister safe from harm. In the end, it was the fact that neither of them were the heir that brought them together. But when Andromeda was two their parents had one more child and this would be their last. Another girl they named Narcissa. As time wore on, Bellatrix and Andromeda grew distant from one another. It didn’t take long for the two girls to see that their baby sister was favored more than they would ever be. But that didn’t matter as Bellatrix went off to school at Hogwarts. There she would focus on her studies and trying to become better than her father ever dreamed she could be. However, there was a kink in her plan. Bellatrix was placed in Hufflepuff whereas everyone else in her family was placed in Slytherin.

Trying as hard as she could to gain approval but always falling flat. There was one thing that kept Bellatrix in her families’ good graces and that was the fact that Sirius, her cousin who was the heir, was placed in Gryffindor and made friends with the wrong lot. But it didn’t take long for him to come to her for help. As much as she hated her cousin, she opted to help him. After all, she could understand desperately wanting a parents’ love and approval. If it was anyone who could understand him, it was Bellatrix. The summer after she left school it became known that she was arranged to marry Rodolphus. Neither of them wanted this marriage to be but they knew that her family needed it. After a year of marriage Bellatrix came in contact with a man who went by the name of Voldemort. While she agreed with his ideals, she wasn’t so sure of his tactics in the war he was waging. She brought them to her family nonetheless and they all eagerly agreed to side with the mysterious man. 

Another year in the war and it was clear to all who knew her intimately that Bellatrix was unwell. Her mental health was declining, and her psyche was beginning to break. Unfortunately, the list of all who knew her well enough was shortened to Rodolphus. A man who she hated to admit that she was beginning to grow fond of and lean on. Now, in the heat of war, Bellatrix is uncertain of where her loyalties truly are. Though she is beginning to see more and more of Riddle’s ways.

Bellatrix has mastered many magics and is able to easily perform wandless magic.

BIO

Being an only child of a very wealthy family, life was pretty easy on James. He was never left wanting for anything and if he ever needed anything he had it before he could even think it. James was the product of pure love and trust. His parents were the poster children for what a happy, healthy marriage looked like and their son was the epitome of the perfect child. Or at least that’s what it looked like from the outside looking in. The Potters may have had a perfect marriage, but their child was far from what they thought he was. James was overall not that bad of a kid. Growing up he was a little cherub. Always shared his toys and minded his manners. He did everything his parents asked of him without an argument. Which left everyone wondering what happened once he entered school?

Hogwarts was his kingdom. It was no wonder that the boy was placed into Gryffindor. James was the unsung hero for the weak and those without a voice. But only if you were in the same house. Or any other house other than Slytherin. It was common knowledge that the two houses had a rivalry. But James took it to the next level. Hazing and bullying some so much that they nearly dropped out. By his second year, he had met who would soon become his brother; Sirius. It didn’t take long for James to figure out that Sirius was more like him than met the eye. They were both a bold and strong personality. They were both rebellious and playful. They shared a lot of the same interests. They were both from wealthy and powerful pureblood families. It made sense for James to befriend the Black heir. Within months he was spending every holiday at the Potter residence.

James learned everything about Sirius’ living situation and how all about his family issues. He learned how much pressure his best friend was under to be the proper heir and how his mother had all but disowned him. How much he was hurting and how he wanted to do right by his parents. At the end of the day, James thought that his friend’s best interests were against his family beliefs. But he was very wrong. In his sixth year he was enthralled with a girl that another of his friends, Remus, had introduced him to. Lily was fun and smart and confidant. She was everything he was looking for in a girl. But she made it clear she wasn’t interested. Until she was...sort of. By their seventh and final year at Hogwarts he and Lily had a flirtationship and even though he always got his hopes up that this time would be different, James knew better. She would be in his bed at nightfall and by morning she would be gone. So, in the meantime, James found himself chasing after others that caught his eye.

Eventually, he did win Lily over and after a few months of being exclusive and official he asked her to marry him. James already knew that she was the one for him. He was just waiting for her to realize it too. Years later and she finally said yes. He had been willing to wait a lifetime for that answer but she finally caved. When the war broke out it was James who gathered family and friends into a rebellion he called the Order of the Phoenix. Together they would all fight as one against Voldemort. Or so he thought. Once his wedding with Lily was attacked it was clear that there was liar in their wake. There was a prophecy that James was familiar with that Voldemort was after. He and Lily had already discussed children and they knew that they wanted to have a child at the end of summer. It seemed like the perfect timing. 

When he learned that it was his best friend--no--his brother that had let the information slip, he was heartbroken. If this wasn’t enough another of his close friends, Peter, had sacrificed himself. After months of searching for an answer on how he was going to bring Peter back, he found it; the Veil. James’ plan was to bring him back through the Veil and then everything would be back to normal (with the exception of his best friend’s betrayal.) But he failed and could not bring Peter back with him upon exiting.

James became an animagus with Sirius in their sixth year.

It is assumed that James also has the love protection that Lily has. But he does not.

BIO

Growing up with five brothers it made sense that she was a little rough around the edges. Her childhood was filled with wonder and splendor. Being that she was the only girl among her siblings, Marlene was granted whatever her little heart desired. But what she desired most was freedom. She wanted to roam free and do whatever she damn well pleased. Which she did for her entire childhood. All the way up until she received her Hogwarts letter when she was forced to adhere to rules. From the moment she stepped foot in the school, she was a hellion. Authority and Marlene just didn’t vibe and almost every time she challenged it, she won. 

By the time she was in her third year, Marlene had really made a name for herself among her peers. Making not only Head Girl in her class but causing riots in the Great Hall while she was at it. She was exceptional at most of her studies, but divination was where she really found her calling. Before she knew it, she was the Slytherin psychic and nearly every girl in her class was lining up to have a tarot reading and their tea leaves read. Thought it was in one of these times that she met the infamous Sirius Black. At first glance, Marlene thought he wasn’t much. Nothing in particular stood out about him and he wasn’t anything special. But they clicked. Marlene could tell just by looking at the boy that he needed someone. A little guidance here and a push there and he would find his footing. She could do that for him.

The pair were inseparable in no time, and she was no stranger to feigning friendliness. Soon she had wiggled her way into his friend group. Marlene was the first in the gaggle of friends to start rebelling a little more than just pulling the occasional prank. She had a silver tongue and convinced them all to join her in her riots. Soon enough they were all challenging authority. It made her proud to know that it was her doing that got them this far. Her movement had begun and when it came time to leave the school her footprints were there. Marlene had left her mark. However, it didn’t go without saying that she was a natual born leader. 

There were rumors that she and Sirius would part ways once school was over, but it was far from the truth. Marlene stayed close with the Black heir all the way through his rise into the Dark Lord’s praises. When he went into hiding it was she who would help his run and she who would help him hide. Still to this day she goes out of her way to help him. While the rest of her family sides with the Dark Lord, she had other plans. Initially, she thought his ideals was superb. They were top tier and she agreed with them whole heartedly. Now, it’s not that she disagrees, but rather than she thinks the grass is always greener on the other side.

TIDBITS

Marlene is the third child of the McKinnon family. Leaving her with two older brothers and three younger.

No one knows that she isn’t in favor of the Dark Lord anymore. Everyone thinks that she’s simply taken a step back. 

There are rumors that Marlene and Sirius are betrothed but no one has confirmed or denied these rumors for her. Not that she would mind. He isn’t hard to look at.

BIO

A weight was dropped upon his shoulders from the moment he was born. While he wasn’t the first Black grandchild, he was the first boy and that made him the heir. Growing up in the Black family wasn’t what it cracked up to be. It may have seemed like a cake walk but when it came down to it, Sirius could say otherwise. He would attend every ball and every occasion with his cousins and make small talk. But he never really meant a word he said. Sirius was just going through the motions and reiterating anything he had ever heard his parents talk about. He never had any intention of being a true heir for his family. That was meant for his older cousin, Bellatrix. But since she wasn’t born a boy, she had to live in his shadow.

Getting his letter was to be expected being a pureblood and all. But what wasn’t expected was being placed in Gryffindor. Sirius wasn’t the only one in the Black family to be placed differently than the rest. He was just the one who had been told he would do great things and they couldn’t wait for him to bring the Black family name back to nobility. Instead, he found himself making friends with the likes of James Potter. The two had become so close that most of the time Sirius spent holidays with the Potters instead of going home with his cousins. They might as well have been brothers. But it was this that made his family turn their backs on him and Sirius realized how desperate he was for his mother’s love and his father’s pride. It was his fifth year that he buckled down and asked for Bellatrix’s guidance. While she may not have been sorted into Slytherin, but she was still in their families’ good graces. 

When he turned eighteen and left the school, his mother bought him a motorcycle and from there he was free to do as he pleased. As long as he set the Black family name back on track. It was something he could make his peace with and from there he spent most of his time with James. Sirius got all the dirty little details of the Potter family and spun them to his father. What he didn’t know was that he was being sold to the Dark Lord. All his information was being whispered to Voldemort and when Sirius caught wind from his cousin, Narcissa, he stepped up. Everyone had heard that there was a prophecy their Dark Lord was looking for and seeking to eradicate. It was Sirius who offered the information on where the Potter and Evans wedding was being held. He knew that it was only a matter of time before everyone he considered a friend once found out about his indiscretion and thus went on the run.

Sirius met Marlene in third year and has been best friends ever since.

In sixth year, he learned about becoming an animagus on his own and underwent the journey with James.
