( YOON JEONGHAN, DEMIBOY, HE/HIM ) — LUCIUS MALFOY ? oh, you mean the EIGHTEEN year old PUREBLOOD. they’re a SEVENTH year SLYTHERIN, aren’t they ? i’ve heard they’re really RESOURCEFUL, but i know for a fact that they can be CALLOUS at times. rumor has it that after graduation they'll SIDE WITH THE DEATH EATERS.

born to abraxas and anais malfoy, lucius grew up pampered. a prince in his own right — the prince of the house of malfoy. abraxas, while tough on him, did what he did out of love. lucius knew it too, for his father wouldn’t have given that amount of effort searching for only the best tutors and schooling him on wand works and potions from such an early age if he wasn’t doing it for love. all he wanted was the best for his heir. lucius isn’t blind; he sees it too. he sees why it’s necessary and never once has he voiced out a complaint.

yet those who work in the malfoy manor know that he grew up too fast. by the time he turned ten he could easily hold a conversation with someone four years his senior. a prodigy, the young prince is, they whisper. but at what cost?

abraxas loves him, and lucius couldn’t be any more thankful for the schooling his father put him through, but both father and son are blinded by love that they do not see what’s become of the young malfoy. he could ask for anything he wishes in this world, yet, there’s one thing that lucius abraxas malfoy never could have: a childhood.

but his mother loves him too. oh, does she love him. abraxas might be her heart, but lucius is her entire life. she dotes on him in her own quiet little way. nobody expected anais to be the mother that she is, but she is. and lucius too, loves his mother. where his father is hard on all his edges, anais is where lucius turns to when he’s in need of solace.

anyways this is long already and i’m trying to be poetic but it’s Not Working and i’ve only touched on his childhood but those are my headcanon based stuff so i figured they were necessary. tldr; lucius grew up loved. there are a lot of dysfunctional pureblood families out there, and though yes, abraxas might have “fucked up” lucius’ childhood, so to speak, family is everything to lucius and that wasn’t born out of duty or fear. it is his duty, but above all, love is what drives him. he wants to make his parents proud, and he will stand tall to see what his father and mother wished for him to accomplish.

moving on, lucius is cold yes, but he’s not an unnecessary asshole. he looks down on most of everyone and carries himself as though he is king already, but would he waste time to stop a muggleborn on his way to classes to insult them? nah. he probably wouldn’t even spare a moment to look at them. he’s very guarded too, and probably prefers the term allies over friends bc he’s a Pretentious Bitch. that aside though, he is somewhat cordial towards most purebloods in his circle, if not to be all political and shit. he’s not kind, no, but he knows when diplomacy is required of him.

yeah so anyways what i said about his hair in my opening paragraph? that’s only half a joke. he cares a lot about his appearances, and puts a lot of stock into it. he doesn’t dress to impress, but he does dress to intimidate. appearances make a bold statement, and lucius thinks any politician should know the power they have. i imagine at this age his hair isn’t particularly long yet, — probably shoulder length — but remember that in the movies when he has his long blonde hair he has it tied back with a green ribbon and well, that’s the most lucius malfoy thing i’ve ever seen.

silver snake, iron king, golden heir — you name it. he’s one hell of a pretentious bitch and if u see me referring to the elements and giving him titles like that, that’s because he sees it fit. trust me, he gives me a headache to write too with how pretentious he is but I Love Him.

his birthday is on december 22, making him a winter baby and a capricorn, which also means he just recently turned eighteen during their winter holidays.

oh, one last thing! honestly, he really doesn’t care how people see his gender and he doesn’t exactly advertise that he’s a demiboy, but he knows what he is and is confident in both his gender identity and expression. he’s not a man, and for lucius, what anyone else says doesn’t matter. also quick additional hc i have but i hc abraxas is also demifluid so transphobia is most definitely Not Something that happens in the malfoy household.

i have more useless facts and headcanons about lucius too such as his boggart, wand, etc etc but since this is already Long™, i’ll save that for later.

uhhh here is lucius’ pinterest board btw and that quote in the desc is him af too!

to finish this off, have a lucius malfoy af quote: “ do not mistake me for my mask. you see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, dark cold beneath. ”

a few facts about Alice;

( GRANT GUSTIN, HE/HIM ) — REMUS LUPIN ? oh, you mean the SEVENTEEN year old HALF-BLOOD. they’re a SEVENTH year GRYFFINDOR, aren’t they ? i’ve heard they’re really WHOLEHEARTED, but i know for a fact that they can be SURREPTITIOUS at times. rumor has it that after graduation they’ll SIDE WITH THE ORDER. // ( abby. she/her. sixteen. eastern time zone. emetophobia/child neglect and abuse )

Remus Lupin was born to his pureblood father and muggle mother, his father conviently having the last name Lupin and mothers maiden name being Howell

Remus' childhood wasn't exactly the best. He was born with all the parental love and support a child could want, but it all changed when his father spoke out about lycanthropes. With his authority and power amongst elite wizards, this statement shaped and sent even more hatred towards the lycanthropes, causing a want for retaliation and in the end being the leading cause of Remus' attack

after that, his father became disgusted with his own son. The taste of his own medicine was too sour, so out of frustration he became completely unsympathetic. And with his mother hardly even able to wrap her head around wizards, the idea of a werewolf son made her practically lose her marbles

though not completely heartless, they decided to move to another quiet village to give Remus a better chance at life. He was forbidden to see other kids in the neighborhood, forbidden from even leaving his room on the days leading up to and after the full moon, and even almost forbidden from hogwarts

it really damaged him growing up. He always felt unwanted and recluse, alone in his room for up to a whole week with breaks only to go to the bathroom or run downstairs to get some food. it hurt him that his own mother wouldn't comfort him after the transformation process had completely drained him. He hated being left alone to read over his books a million times or sing Beatles songs to himself to pass the time

once he came to hogwarts however, he became a bit more happier than the sad child he used to be. He found happiness in the freedom of the grounds. The library filled him with awe the first time he saw it because finally it was a chance to read something other than his cowboy adventure stories for the hundredth time in a row. When other kids showed him new music it made his heart swell, even if they did laugh at him a bit when he asked if they'd ever heard "sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band" or "yellow submarine" before

despite his lack of social interaction as a child, he is a great person to talk to. He always has just the right thing to say and knows how to comfort anyone. He had to spend so much time comforting himself that he became almost a pro at it

he's also a giant nerd. He loves going to the library and picking out books or jamming out by himself to music. You would think that coming to hogwarts would allow him to become the social butterfly he always dreamed of being as he watched kids play out his bedroom window, but no. instead he just enjoys it more, seeing as he is in control of when he is left alone now

Remus is a giant self-deprecator. It's his form of humor, to tear himself down to make others laugh. and most of the time he's only joking anyways. everything he's gone through has given him a thick skin, and so insults and other things like that hardly even phase him. plus he's too busy reading a book to notice anyways

he's like also hella pan but he'd never tell anyone that. he doesn't need another reason for his parents to lock him away for weeks on end

( SEO KANG JOON, CISMALE, HE/HIM ) — JAMES POTTER ? oh, you mean the SEVENTEEN year old PUREBLOOD. they’re a SEVENTH year GRYFFINDOR, aren’t they ? i’ve heard they’re really CLEVER, but i know for a fact that they can be REBELLIOUS at times. rumor has it that after graduation they'll SIDE WITH THE ORDER. // ( naz. he/him. 22. cst. )

james potter was born to fleamont and euphemia potter. he was, and still is, the brightest star in their lives. his whole life , especially when he was younger, he was given all of the love any parents could give their child and pampered him a great deal. but despite being as spoiled as he was, james was taught manners as well. though, if he were to split up (which he definitely did), more often than not, his parents would lecture him but soon let it slide. rarely was he ever punished. 

james spent most of his childhood in adventures. no matter where he was or what he was supposed to be doing, curiosity would always win above everything else and he’d find himself in places he shouldn’t be. it didn’t help that he never backed down from a dare from the other kids, and these traits would follow him through his years and worsen once he attended hogwarts. 

upon arriving at hogwarts, it was no surprise to anyone that james was sorted into gryffindor; it was the house his father had been in during his school years, and james was proud of his sorting. he wore the house colors like armor. 

he had known about hogwarts his whole life and had been prepped for it, and yet, seeing and being in the castle was like a dream for james. there were just so many possibilities and he was determined to find anything and everything he could in it. forbidden floors and rooms? curfews? these words didn’t mean anything to him. and for this reason alone, it has landed james in detention many times (and counting). 

despite his rebellious nature, james does do well in his studies (surprising, i know). he might wait until the last minutes sometimes, but he makes sure to get his work completed. his best classes are astronomy, charms, potions, and transfiguration. how unfortunate it is for mcgonagall that one of her best students is also a known troublemaker. (he gives her the biggest headaches out of everyone else, i just know it)

Quidditch Boi. he is obsessed with quidditch and probably could talk about it nonstop for hours. he got his first training broomstick when he was only four years old and no one has been able to take it away from him since (of course, it’s bigger and more advanced now). 

personality wise, james is Very Loud and Out There. he prefers jokes and doesn’t really take things seriously. though, he is when he absolutely needs to be. an actual teddy bear. if he’s friends with you, he will hug and comfort you if you’re sad or upset. like legit, despite his Loud and obnoxious appearance that everyone sees, he’s actually really soft. he doesn’t really like for people to see just how soft he really is (who knows why), but it does come out sometimes...especially if it’s past 2am. 

( sophie turner, cisfemale, she/her ) — lily evans ? oh, you mean the seventeen year old muggleborn. they’re a seventh year gryffindor, aren’t they ? i’ve heard they’re really altruistic, but i know for a fact that they can be obdurate at times. rumor has it that after graduation they'll side with the order.

muggleborn and proud!! she’s honestly so, so proud of her heritage and the way she was raised and i honestly just feel bad for anyone that tries to shame her for it because she can go from 0 to 100 REAL QUICK.

though to some she may perhaps be seen as innocent and somewhat of a professor’s pet, these are mostly the people that merely know of her in passing. anyone that takes the time to get to know lily learns that she is anything but. she’s fiery and stubborn and ambitious and at times even self-righteous.

she’s not afraid to speak her mind, whether that’s to some oblivious peer swearing by their pureblood elitism, to professors or anyone in a place of power, even to friends and family she cares dearly for. lily is not afraid to raise her voice, and she will fight to the ends of the earth for what she believes is just and fair.

though she’s an open-minded and caring individual, she can sometimes be a bit oblivious to others if she’s fighting for something she wholeheartedly believes in. she very much believes that people can change, but at times, just like any other person, she can get stuck on first impressions and relies on her gut instincts. occasionally this can lead to her being stubborn and obstinate in her perceptions of some individuals.

lily’s got a record player set up in the dorm, a little something to remind her of home, that is enchanted and is almost always playing a beatles song. hey jude is her all-time favourite song and she’s a little bit in love with john lennon.

LOVES MUGGLE FILMS SO MUCH. she’s definitely a hardcore cinephile and will go on and on about her favourite films to everyone and anyone that’s willing to listen. these rants have been known to go on for several hours, so many try to ward her off the subject as soon as possible, or else there’s really no stopping her.

contrary to popular belief, lily actually does love to fly. though the muggleborn in her will never truly be used to the sensation of being so far above ground, she really does enjoy the way the wind blows through her hair and whistles in her ears. however, she isn’t nearly confident enough in her flying skills to be on a broom by herself, so if she’s in the air it’s usually her clinging on tightly to someone else that has their hands on the broom.

FEMINIST AF. lily is known to fight for the causes she believes in without fail, and there is none she believes in more than the fight for equality. both of the worlds she’s grown into — the wizarding world and the muggle world — still struggle with the concept of equality, and its something that has affected her from day one, and something she refuses to accept. she will fight for equality until her dying breath if she must, and she’ll do it with pride.

fun fact: she’s actually allergic to lilies lmao.

(trigger warning for mentions of abuse)

josephine is my lil trash can and i love her so. she’s sixteen and lived in a muggle household until coming to hogwarts. both of her parents are muggles, though she never knew her mother. she did however have a happy life with her and her father, spending their days together in a small town just outside of manchester. it wasn’t until she received her letter, inviting her to hogwarts, did things start to turn south for her. in the mist of gathering her surprise and figuring out about her powers, her relationship with her father turned toxic. her now only escape from his abuse was hogwarts, still having to go back to him during the summer and winter holiday.
