Regulus Black - There was a time where Pandora would have thought marrying Regulus Black could be considered tolerable at best. The option of a betrothal never came about but the two were close during their school days. Getting disowned should have thrown a wrench into the two’s friendship. If anything, it just forced them into meeting in secret after several years spent appreciating each other’s company in the library.

Lilavati Greengrass - There was a time where Pandora and Lilavati were close - even inseparable at times but that quickly changed the day Pandora’s parents realized their youngest child was a bit more open minded than their heir. They made a point to choose Pandora’s friends and Lilavati didn’t meet their standards, thus fracturing that friendship before it got the chance to begin.

Gideon Prewett - When in need of a laugh at pureblood events, Pandora could usually count on Gideon or Fabian to do something entertaining. Although subdued, Pandora is still hoping to get the occasional smile from Gideon.

Regulus Black - On thin ice. As one of two additional names that Bellatrix tossed out while throwing people under the bus for the attack, it is incredibly alarming that Regulus avoided jail time. They may be related but that isn’t going to stop Bellatrix from keeping a close eye on the Black family’s heir, searching for any sort of hints toward Regulus’ failing to keep up with familial expectations. 

Alice Longbottom - If asked, Bellatrix would specify that the grudge is against the Longbottom family as a whole - not just the one that ruined the betrothal to Rabastan. A blood traitor is a blood traitor. This one just happens to be personal since they’re cousins.

Ted Tonks - The universe would be doing Bellatrix a favor if some freak accident caused Ted’s demise. Prejudiced views have Bellatrix unwilling to try to see any good in the relationship between Edward and Andromeda, believing it best that Andromeda’s indiscretion be wiped out completely.

Ezra Tonks - Being forced to become roommates with muggleborns was one of the downsides to Hogwarts for Barty. He was no fool though, Barty would play nice for appearances sake. Unfortunately, this had given the impression to Ezra that they were actually friends. Having to defend himself to his pureblood friends, Barty began playing pranks on Ezra. Having to hold back laughter when he would later pretend to feel sorry for him.  

Gilderoy Lockhart - Barty is one of the few purebloods that does not feel a need to mock Gilderoy. There have been times where they were sorely tempted to do so but something about having known Gilderoy during their school years keeps them from being mean.

Regulus Black - If Barty was somewhere, there was no doubt that Regulus was nearby. The two have been close since toddlerhood and don’t quite understand the concept of giving the other personal space. Their friendship strengthened when they opted for taking the dark mark the summer before their sixth year. One didn’t have a choice on the matter and the other took it to serve as moral support (and used it as an excuse to upset their father).

Rodolphus Lestrange - The older sibling Amycus never asked for. Rodolphus took Amycus under their wing once at school and paved the way for Amycus’ success in navigating the expectations that were set upon them.

Regulus Black - It makes little sense to Amycus that Regulus is able to walk free from being falsely accused by Bellatrix while Alecto is locked up. The very thought is enough to leave Amycus feeling angry. Toss in discovering Regulus was never in the cause for the right reasons, and there’s a grudge that needs to end.

Minerva McGonagall - On good terms with oddly enough. Minerva is one of a very few to spot some good in Amycus. They didn’t try to sway Amycus to switch sides but did plant the seed that Amycus’ talents could be used for something better.

James Potter, 23, Gryffindor Alum, Alberto Rosende FC, TAKEN.

Birthday: March 27 Blood Status: Pureblood Gender & Pronouns: cis-male, he/him Occupation: independently wealthy, Sports Healer Sided with: Order of the Phoenix

Personality

Positive Traits: Passionate, Intelligent, Loyal Negative Traits: Stubborn, Impulsive, Judgemental Summary: James is the kind of man everyone wants to be around, he is the one that is always the life of the party and is always offering a helping hand. He is quick to judge and thinks he knows better than most, but he has learnt with time that his gut is not always right and he needs to be more open minded. He used to be one of the most mischievous of his group, but life hard lessons have made James grow and mature. Hoping to be a good father and husband.

Growing up:

James Potter was born to Euphemia and Fleamont Potter, an elderly couple that wished for nothing but a child. This made him be the most spoiled child ever, however, with elderly parent James lacked a bit of companion of his own age.

He had a few scattered family members, and he learned so much talking to the portraits on the walls at Potter manor, but what he enjoyed the most was learning from his parents, the people that encourage him to be and do whatever he wanted, explore within safety boundaries, and just expand her curiosity in many things.

The only strong opinions that James grew up around with was: Slytherins are the worse of the Hogwarts houses, they think they are high and mighty and adore dark arts. Probably something to do with his father rivalry with the house since his school days.

And always judge a person for their actions, not anything else. Which it might be somewhat colliding, because everything seemed great and dandy, until little James Potter found some Slytherins and no matter what they did, they deserved every bit of terrible thoughts he had to offer.

The Potters tried to be the best parents for a rampant boy like James, and he was spoiled, and well bread, which led him to be prideful and obnoxious at times. But deep down James had learnt the most important thing and that was the love you had to extend the people around you.

Meeting the boys was like destiny, Sirius seemed like his better half, always knowing what to say and do, they almost didn't have to speak to communicate. Then became Remus, at first quiet, but wise beyond his years, and so wittily funny that had James cracking up. And last, but not least, Peter.

Peter was a wild card, at first James would think they were just friends because they were roommates, but the longer they lived together and shared their school life with, the more he become to love Peter and he funny stories, and ideas for the jokes they played on people. Peter was smarter than people gave him credit for, and James thought that maybe he could make Pete see that, as he sometimes felt his friend doubted himself. Little did he know how much this would impact both of their lives.

During the war:

The war came while he was at Hogwarts, and rumours about it reaching the walls of the castle were too many. He knew Dumbledore would protect them, that things will improve eventually, that the grown ups would figure it out and they would get to keep being kids for a little longer.

However, James found himself being wrong, the war reached them, even if not physically. The things that happened behind the castle's walls were beginning to be dark and far from innocent to be ignored.

He never felt he had much chance to change things, more than hexing the ones causing harm, but then he became Head Boy.

The Gryffindor was no stranger to authority, he had been captain of the Quidditch team for a while, but this was different. First, he believe he had broken some sort of record of being the Head Boy with most detentions, and second, he actually had ideas that he wanted to change. That he wanted to make students feel safe again at their school.

What he didn't expect was the change that came with his attitude. After years of fancying Evans, they finally saw eye to eye on things. He thought he had at least managed to be on the friendly side, but what surprised him was that they were more than that by the end of the first trimester, and even more so by the end of the school year.

Leaving Hogwarts was though, he wasn't leaving just walls and classrooms, he was leaving his childhood and a second home, where he found his new family. However, it was time to move on and do the right thing.

Joining the Order was a hard decision, he wasn't sure if someone so inexperienced could be helpful, but aside from that he wasn't going to be sitting on his arse while other people fixed the world. It was up to him and his generation to face the wrong things in the world and fix them, letting the other side that they wouldn't stand for that injustice.

The war was hard on everyone in different ways, but it brought wonderful things as well. Harry was a blessing neither him nor Lily were expecting, it was something they saw each other have at the end of the war, where things were calmer. But looking into those green eyes, James knew, that it was all worth it.

That was until it was almost all taken away by a treason that broke James' heart. He couldn't believe when it happened, he still had a hard time thinking about it, he thought that maybe they didn't see how hard it was on Peter this whole time, when they were running in all directions trying to safe the world and have a productive life that didn't involve the war.

It has been hard to see how the treason chipped his remaining family away, but he has to be strong for them, to keep them afloat, and remind them that they still had each other.

No time like the present:

James thought it would be helpful to become a healer, first because Remus needed someone that cared about him and actually knew how to heal him after full moons, but then he really loved the idea of fixing people and making them feel better.

He tried not to drag to much attention to himself, yet his passion for Quidditch ended up making him the healer for the Quidditch League, a job that was not only rewarding, but allowed him to be with his family.

He won't say it out-loud but Dumbledore's actions seem more suspicious by the day. After Peter he has learned to keep an eye on everyone, making sure that he is not missing the hidden agendas. He hopes he is wrong about his former Headmaster, but the road and decisions seemed to say otherwise.

Connections

Regulus Black - The surprising acquaintance that only recently entered James’ life. The two get along nearly as well as James and Sirius do with the only regret having been not trying to get the youngest Black sibling into the friend group sooner.

Hestia Jones - Hestia served as a distraction from Lily, with the two dating briefly before James cut Hestia out altogether and ended up seeing Lily. It’s been over five years since James simply stopped acknowledging Hestia’s existence. Feeling embarrassed about never apologizing has had James in no rush to make amends.

Doris Purkiss - When it came to marrying Lily, Doris was the one to give James a stern talking to about treating Lily right or facing consequences. If it weren’t for knowing how serious Doris can be, James would have tried laughing things off. It was something James would have expected to come from Petunia but Doris was more protective of the then future spouse than Petunia ever would have been.

Regulus Black - Unbeknownst to Peter, the Black siblings had an okay enough relationship during the war to be on speaking terms. Regulus is the reason Peter had no chance to have second thoughts on the mark. Hogwarts was spent questioning James, Sirius, and Remus’ loyalty to them, with one conversation between Regulus and Sirius proving just how quickly a person could be cast aside. News that Peter took the mark spread rapidly among the small friend group and Regulus Black was the one to blame for that knowledge being shared. If there is one thing Peter is certain of, it’s that Regulus is lucky they have yet to be alone together. It’s just a matter of time before hexes and swear words get thrown at the youngest Black.

Alastor Moody - Doesn’t trust. Initially, Peter would have bet Alastor would be the one to see right through the attempts at keeping a neutral face during Order meetings. Peter kept Alastor at a distance but was pleasant enough to make small talk, barely trusting so much as giving a hello.

Narcissa Malfoy - Amidst the chaos of losing friendships and striving to prove the Dark Lord thought right in gifting the mark was Narcissa Malfoy. Peter had very little to do with the Malfoys and intended to keep it that way until being thrown at Narcissa during a get together the Lestranges were holding. Narcissa was kinder than most and made a point to show they noticed Peter. Doing that was enough to keep Peter from feeling truly lost to the war.

Sirius Black, 24, Gryffindor Alum, Luke Pasqualino, CLOSED.

Birthday: November 3 Blood Status: Pure-Blood. Gender & Pronouns: Cis Male, He/Him. Occupation: Bartender & Owner of The Lion’s Den, a magical pub located in London. Sided with: Order of the Phoenix.

Personality

Positive Traits: Loyal, Intelligent, Charming, Courageous. Negative Traits: Impulsive, Short tempered, Arrogant, Volatile. Summary:  The disgraced Black heir has always wanted one thing: freedom. Growing up, it was freedom from the expectations and ideals that were forced upon him by his family. Sirius was always too loud, too energetic, and too curious for the likes of Walburga and Orion Black. He was exceptionally bright, demonstrating his magical talents from a young age, even if he often put them to mischievous use. Life changed for the young heir as soon as he became a Gryffindor. It was then that Sirius tasted what real, true rebellion was– and he knew he was never turning back. Sirius soon became everything his parents opposed: a troublemaker, a sympathizer with anyone of muggle ancestry, and loyal to a group of boys of whom he had no blood connection. As the years passed and the first flames of war were ignited, Sirius wanted a whole new freedom altogether: the freedom to live, not just for himself, but for others as well. Sirius threw himself headfirst into the war, applying his outstanding magical abilities and often reckless bravery into every situation he ran into. In moments of joy, Sirius can be the life of a room, charming and funny and passionate. However, he can easily shift into someone else entirely, in times of trouble becoming withdrawn, short tempered, and impulsive to the point of causing damage to himself or others.

Growing up:

The Black family hasn’t been the same since the day Sirius was born. In the beginning, it was due to the fact that he was the first male heir in several years, placing his parents in a position of utmost power within the Black family and Sirius in a position that demanded nothing short of perfection. The expectations of an heir were drilled into Sirius’ mind from day one and he was raised to be obedient and loyal to the Blacks. However, named after the brightest star, Sirius was exactly that, igniting the dismal and dark halls of Grimmauld Place with an energy that far outshone those of his relatives and the portraits of his ancestors. It was hard to reign Sirius in, intelligent and energetic as he was, with a curiosity that was bursting to get outside of the walls of Number 12. In spite of the marked differences between him and the rest of his family, Sirius went into Hogwarts fully believing that he would be carrying on the duties his parents had placed on him. He was to go into Slytherin, he was to follow his father’s footsteps, and he was to carry on the Black family name as noble as all the generations before him had done. How very wrong he was.

Sirius can contribute to Hogwarts as the biggest turning point of his life. It did not happen overnight; he struggled initially with his Sorting, believing he had somehow betrayed his parents and brother by joining Gryffindor House. He had to unlearn the purist ideals he was raised with. But it was within those castle walls that Sirius met the people that would have the most profound effect on him: the Marauders. Through them, he found an understanding and love he had never experienced before, and knew he had found brothers to call his own. Sirius not only learned how to become an animagus or how to raise the most chaos– he learned what things in life actually mattered and what real loyalty was.

It didn’t take long for Sirius to become one of the most popular boys in school, with his charm, good looks, and rebellious reputation only aiding him further. Yet despite this front he put on for everyone, Sirius struggled greatly with his life at home. Tension with his parents grew worse with every passing year. Everything Sirius did was met with disapproval as he took his heir duties less seriously. What once was just disagreements with his close-minded parents soon escalated into explosive shouting matches, with Sirius often having to take refuge in the home of his best mate. His decision to run away was not an easy one, especially since he knew he would be leaving Regulus behind. It took years for Sirius to not feel guilt over it and to realize he made the right decision for himself.  

During the war:

As soon as Sirius heard the whispers of a resistance forming during the war, he knew he wanted to join. Sirius did not show any apprehension to how dangerous it could be or how he would be risking his life every single day. He believed that dying for such a cause was an honorable and heroic way to go, that fighting for his loved ones was the only way he wished to die. Despite pledging loyalty immediately upon his graduation, others within the Order, the elders especially, did not see Sirius as trustworthy. His Black surname followed him like a disease, with many within the ranks pointing out that half his relatives were Death Eaters. This only gave Sirius a deep thirst to prove himself as committed to the cause as possible. Sirius volunteered for the most dangerous tasks, the most risky missions, all with a reckless grin on his lips. He not only survived the war– he thrived during it.

It wasn’t until the war touched the people most dear to him did it all come crashing down for Sirius. Upon learning that James, Lily and his godson had a target on their backs, Sirius was willing to do anything to keep them safe. His terrible decision to make Peter the Secret Keeper could have resulted in consequences that Sirius would rather not think about. Though he is relieved beyond words that the Potters survived, Peter’s betrayal has cut Sirius deep. The former heir already had enough trust issues as it was and he did not leave the war unscathed.

No time like the present:

Sirius wants to live life to the fullest. After spending years not knowing if he’d live to see another day, or even see his friends again, Sirius plans on taking every opportunity he can get to move forward. He has worked over the years as a bartender and recently acquired a pub of his own to manage, The Lion’s Den, with the help of some wealth left to him by the late Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. Sirius enjoys being his own boss and having nobody else to answer to. He sees the pub as a meeting place for people like him, who’ve survived the war and need a place they can go and ask for a bottle of firewhisky without questions asked. However, The Lion’s Den’s doors are open to everyone, whether Sirius may personally like them or not. When he is not busy running his pub, Sirius is happily fulfilling his role as godfather or connecting with the friends that remained from the war.

However eager he is to see a brighter future, Sirius remains wary of wizarding society. Peter’s betrayal has demonstrated to him that nobody is who they may seem, and that even the most harmless of figures may have their ulterior motives. Dumbledore’s rise to power has certainly made Sirius question what the wizard’s motives were from the very beginning of the war. Sirius is no stranger to questioning authority and will not hesitate to voice his opinion on the matter. Though he has faith that Dumbledore was the only one who could have defeated Voldemort, he knows that the evil did not disappear overnight. His Death Eater relatives run free from the consequences of their crimes during the war, keeping Sirius looking over his shoulder despite the war being ‘over.’

Connections

James Potter, Remus Lupin - The best friends anyone could ask for. Sirius trusts the two with everything and is usually found pestering one or both of them. Extended by player: Inseparable. If there was one word to describe James Potter and Sirius Black’s friendship, it would be that. At the center of Sirius’ chosen family is James, with Sirius considering James’ wife and son as much his family as anybody else. The two have matured over the years from their schoolboy antics, with the war forcing them into situations they never would have imagined. However at the heart of their relationship remains the same unconditional loyalty that Sirius cherishes more than anything else in the world. They hardly have any secrets that haven’t been shared, can read each other like a book, and can’t go longer than a few days without feeling like a part of them is missing. Sirius would have gladly died in the war to keep James and his family safe. Now that the impending threat of Voldemort no longer hangs over them, Sirius wants to enjoy the Potters as much as he can, being the godfather to James’ child and a brother to James.

Peter Pettigrew - Who? The once friend turned enemy has meant nothing to Sirius ever since the day Regulus let slip Peter had the mark and was working closely with the Lestranges. Threats were exchanged between the two but Sirius has yet to follow through on them.

Regulus Black - It took several years for Regulus and Sirius to get back on speaking terms. The two were inseparable siblings during their early years, with Regulus holding a grudge the moment Sirius ran away without taking him. Things are still awkward between the two but their relationship is in better shape than when they were decidedly not talking to each other. Extended by player: As of now, the Black brothers’ relationship is complicated, to say the least. Prior to Hogwarts, the two were closely knit, with Sirius often dragging Regulus along into his adventurous games and tricks. Sirius felt responsible for his younger brother, often taking the blame when they got into trouble so as to spare his brother from their parents’ treatment. Despite the fierce protectiveness he felt, there was always a touch of envy to the fraternal love Sirius had. Orion and Walburga made it clear to Sirius as often as they could that he needed to be more like his obedient brother who acted like a proper Black should. That jealousy only grew over the years as Sirius became more and more rebellious and Regulus grew more like their parents. A rift went up between the brothers, one that became solid concrete as the war began and threw them on opposite sides of it. Despite it all, Sirius loved his brother in his own way, though he did not expect to speak to Regulus ever again. That was until Regulus single handedly saved Sirius’ best friends from a terrible fate. In light of Regulus’ actions, Sirius is trying to adjust to the new dynamic, because even if Sirius is eternally grateful for Regulus, he is still his annoying little brother.
