BIOGRAPHY

01 . 1950 — 1961.

kingsley was born in the dark of night, and where one might expect a scream, there was quiet. the definition of an easy baby, he observed and whimpered but never wailed. his parents, nathaniel and dea, could not believe their luck. he grew up in a household that spoke highly of his nigerian heritage yet lowly of muggle-borns and half-bloods. from a young age, he struggled to understand why, for a life was a life. he didn’t remember a time in his life without his sister, spitfire that she was. when kingsley stepped back to observe a situation, she dove headlong into it. he was always rescuing her from her adventures gone awry, and yet… she seemed to be one of a very small handful of people with whom he felt entirely himself. his parents were the opposite; he felt as if he could not open up to them at all. instead, he played the obliging son in the first eleven years of his life, nodding along with them as they ranted and raved about the state of britain’s wizarding community and threatened to pack up their family for nigeria near weekly.

02 . 1961 — 1968.

his acceptance to hogwarts was a welcome reprieve, a chance to escape the suffocating expectations of his parents. nathaniel and dea were disappointed that he didn’t get an acceptance from their shared alma mater, uagadou, but kingsley felt a spark of hope for the first time in years. hogwarts represented a new beginning, a place where he could carve out his own identity. the moment he was sorted into ravenclaw, he felt a sense of belonging he had never felt before. he quickly gained a reputation as a dedicated student and a skilled duelist, excelling in defence against the dark arts, charms, and transfiguration. with each spell mastered, each challenge overcome, he felt a growing sense of pride and independence. his natural leadership abilities earned him the role of prefect in his fifth year and later head boy in his seventh year. the responsibilities were demanding, but he thrived under the pressure, finding joy in helping others and making a difference. his involvement in the duelling club further honed his combat skills, and he decided to become an auror after he left hogwarts.

03 . 1968 — 1971.

upon graduating from hogwarts with top marks, kingsley began his auror training. the auror training was grueling, both physically and mentally, but kingsley embraced the challenge with unwavering resolve. his skills and dedication quickly distinguished him as one of the most respected students in his class, despite there being many with better pedigree and experience. he became known for his calm demeanour and strategic thinking, qualities that earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. nathaniel and dea, despite their pride in kingsley's accomplishments, were far from supportive of his decision to pursue auror training. their vision for his future had always involved a prestigious, safe position within the ministry, one that would allow him to uphold the shacklebolt name without risking his life. they voiced their concerns often, mainly grumbling about the "unsuitable" company he kept. the tension between their expectations and his ambitions created a rift, making family gatherings fraught with unspoken disapproval and barely concealed disappointment. despite their lack of support, kingsley remained resolute in his decision.

04 . 1971 — PRESENT.

kingsley's career flourished when he joined the auror department after his training. the dangerous missions, the late nights, the constant threat of dark wizards—it all took a toll, but kingsley remained steadfast. he played a pivotal role in capturing several dark wizards and dismantling numerous dark arts operations, each victory a testament to his hard work and sacrifice. his career path took a sharp turn away from his parents' beliefs in blood purity as he worked alongside wizards and witches from many backgrounds, their ire often driving him further from them and their concept of who he should be. drawing on his nigerian heritage, kingsley integrated traditional magical techniques into his auror work, often giving him an advantage in challenging situations. the pride he felt in these moments was profound, a quiet defiance against the prejudices he was raised with. the weight of his responsibilities was heavy, but he carried it with grace and determination. each victory, each setback, shaped him into a more formidable and compassionate leader. his relationship with his sister only grew stronger; as he pulled away from their parents, their connection tethered him during the difficult times. when she gave birth to his nephew, he found true joy in life. for the first time, he began to question whether he wanted a family of his own.

“ every human life is worth the same, and worth saving. ”

𝙁𝘼𝙈𝙄𝙇𝙔 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙐𝙋𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙂 ;;   The youngest of three daughters, Narcissa was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and an appearance that would instantly set her apart from the rest of her immediate family. With her golden locks and piercing blue eyes, she was destined to stand out in photographs, contrasting the raven hair and dark features that were commonly associated with the Black family. At no point did this ever put her at a disadvantage however. Only a moment spent in her company is enough to see that the Black blood runs deep in her veins.

As a child, she was the princess of the family, in her fathers eyes especially, and it was from a very young age that she started being taught all that there was to know about how to be the perfect young woman. Narcissa picked everything up easily, whilst continuing to enjoy the finer things in life, and that was exactly what Cygnus and Druella wanted for their daughter - to become a respected Pureblood woman with the world at her disposal.

Growing up as part of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was, of course, not all sunshine and rainbows. Like many of the other families in their society, the Black home is full of secrets, scandal and betrayal. You name it, and chances are at least one of them have been accused of it. Of course they have their own way of dealing with it - Narcissa has already lived to witness one of her cousins and her own sister be disowned completely and she knows it is not the first time that it has happened. The fear of this happening to her for not being good enough, or for doing something wrong was instilled early in her life and it continues to hang over her to this very day.

𝘼𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝙊𝙂𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙎 ;;   When it came to attending Hogwarts, there was no doubt that Narcissa would be sorted in to Slytherin House. The Sorting Hat barely touched her head before making its decision, and it was with her fellow snakes that she thrived. She worked hard to achieve good grades, and being away from the watchful eyes of her parents, she was able to find her own independence and sense of identity. Of course it never strayed far from what her parents wanted for her, but she was determined to ensure things were done on her terms as well.

𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀𝙀𝙍 ;;   Although Narcissa is unemployed and has no need to find herself a job, she has always had a passion for dark artefacts and cursed objects, and has found herself to be somewhat of a collector of both. Only a small handful of people know about her collection, but it is something she takes pride in expanding. She has also been known to source and sell on a few objects here or there. When she is not expanding her collection, Narcissa considers herself as a proud socialite and philanthropist, publicly supporting a number of causes.

Key Information/Biography:

Davina Isobel Wilkes was born in the early morning of one of the hottest days of the summer to Poppy and Hawthorn Wilkes. Poppy was overjoyed with the birth of a daughter, already having their heir and son, and Poppy immediately set about spoiling and molding her daughter into what she wanted, rather than what Davina wanted. Growing up, Davina loved being spoiled, dressing up, and her ballet lessons. Her mother poured everything into nurturing Davina into being a well-bred and well-brought-up Pureblood daughter, and Davina never resisted, enjoying being spoiled and having her mothers undivided attention, especially when her younger brother was born.

Her childhood was rather unremarkable, passing by with Pureblood parties, spending time with her brothers and the other children of Pureblood couples, and etiquette classes. She was taught to speak French and Latin, and her mother insisted that she take ballet and piano lessons. Davina would say that she had a worry free childhood and that she was a happy child.

That all changed when Davina and her brothers were sat down at the dining room table in late August by their parents and told that their fortune was gone. The tension between her parents had been palpable for months, and Davina didn't think that she would ever forget the look of loathing on her mother's face and the shame in her father's words. Hawthorn Wilkes had always been a prideful man and having to tell his children that the money was gone changed him. Her brother's inheritances were gone, and any money that Davina would have for a marriage was gone too.  He had many excuses for what had happened, blaming a muggleborn for the bad dealings, but Davina secretly thought that he just didn't want to admit what had truly happened.

Going to Hogwarts should have been her happiest moment, but armed with the knowledge that she was broke, but expected to keep up appearances that nothing would change made her time at Hogwarts difficult. She was sorted into Slytherin, as was expected, but Davina never felt completely comfortable among her peers. Constant worry about keeping up with the others, about someone finding out the truth took its toll and sometimes it seemed like Davina was trying too hard. She got very good at charming her clothes so it never looked like she was wearing the same things, and she started to dabble in fashion designing as a way to hide that she didn’t have the money to buy new gowns from Paris or Italy like some of the other girls.

BIOGRAPHY:

In a grand old state with weathered dark stone and thin green ivies stood the evergreen Parkinson estate, located outside Somerset. Malcolm was the sole heir born to a quiet yet powerful and prestigious family. The Parkinson family was a popular family that seemed pristine and perfect to the core. Their name was just as telling as they handled the land that most wizarding families had established housing on. Malcom’s father was a well-respected businessman and tax collector for estates, knowing who the best families were and which ones to avoid. Mostly because of their impediment to offer his father money. At a young age, Malcolm was being taught to listen and smile pleasantly. There had been many meetings he observed and lessons he remembered about the importance of value. It was not a secret about his father’s involvement with deception when handling money and Malcolm watched a stern man fall to the mercy of gambling. Prejudice was not an earned trait, but for Malcolm, it was a despising term used when his mother had an affair with a muggleborn. It was quick work cutting ties from her and Malcolm’s father, ingrained in him to revere Pureblood ancestry and disdain those who were Muggleborns or nonmagical folk. As he grew up, Malcolm became a more entitled, ignorant, hot-tempered young boy. Though his relationship with his mother had been destroyed due in part to a muggle, Malcolm wasn’t close with his father either. He might have been ignorant, but he wasn’t blind to see his father was cold and devious at best. It was when Malcolm was eleven, he was sent to Hogwarts, the family name following him, his greatest ambition was to become a man who his father could be proud of. Even if he scored high marks on exams, it never seemed to amount to his father’s expectations. He was always two steps behind and the rage only fueled him more to determine his worth.

Though he didn’t get the recognition from his father that he wanted, found it in his schoolmates specifically the ones who he shared the dorm with for seven years. Holidays were full to the brim of bitterness when he shared it with his father. Around his time at Hogwarts, he dated Serra Borgin, a fellow Slytherin who was also close with his family. There had been many times it felt like their families had tried setting them up, but eventually, they got together on their own terms. For once, everything seemed right. But then, it all came crumbling down when his father was exposed as a fraudulent man, embezzling money as if it were common money. When the Aurors found him out, Malcolm exploded with rage and grief, swearing to protect the rest of the family’s name and not let it be more fractured. It all had reached a boiling point and his father was disgraced and carted off to a cell he presumed. The Parkinson family name was stale, but Malcolm planned to change everything. The tides were sure to shift and change direction, picking up the shattered pieces of a once collected and strong family name. Malcolm continued his last year at Hogwarts with the newfound reputation following him. It was also during his last year that he came across a contract that was arranged before his father's incarceration that pledged Malcolm and Serra to already be engaged. Now that he was the head of the family and the company, he arranged lawyers to look it over and annul it immediately. The news was shocking to Malcolm and he assumed it would be too much for Serra. Instead of doing the right thing and telling his girlfriend, he needed them to break up and the only solution that came to his mind was sabotaging it himself by having an affair with Charity Burbage.

When it came time for Malcolm to overhear another Dark Lord, it was in his honor and belief to harbor the identity of being a follower.  Malcolm stepped forward into the role eagerly and submitted himself to the Dark Lord. He wanted to be seen as someone important in the eyes of Lord Voldemort. At least someone of value could consider Malcolm as someone worth listening to. He fully intended not disgrace his family name. To recover the extreme circumstances his mother and father brought onto the name, Malcolm began resurrecting the house, putting more house elves to maintain the house and hiring a handful of mannered to handle the finances. Once he had calculated everything to its fullest, Malcolm began intervening more directly with other Death Eaters, offering services to other members. On the surface, Malcolm was beginning to look like the carbon copy of his father only he was more thorough in who he trusted and his accounting with the goblins at Gringotts. Now, Malcolm must attend Death Eater meetings and help with strategic plans. Though Malcom despises many of the people in the room, he is not naive in forcing himself to silently refer to them as allies. Every word and movement is precious to him and he will pursue..

RELATIONSHIPS:

The Prewett name is known as a Pureblood family but they couldn't be further down the ranking within the community if they wanted. And that was okay with them; Pureblood was a riddiculous thing anyways. And that is how the children were raised.

Fabian was born as the first one of a set of twins. Gideon followed shortly after and two completely different boys were brought into the world. Growing up to Fabian didn't necessarily mean having fun. He followed Gideon but he was never the instigator of a prank.

When he was five, their sister Molly was born and a stint of protectiveness over his younger siblings - despite it only being a few minutes - was born. From a young age on he felt the responsibility of looking after the two of them.

Many would call Fabian the serious one from the twins and that was no problem to him. He would go along with the pranks of his brother, but he would also focus on his grades and getting somewhere in life, finding a position in which he would be able to protect them.

Rosmerta was born as the first out of three children, her sister Beatrice following after and her brother Anthony as the last half-blood Abbott sibling. The three always have been pretty close.

Ever since younger, Ros has always been rather independent - from people outside of her direct family. Never thinking she would need anyone, despite her biggest fear being that she would end up all alone in her life.

When Ros entered Hogwarts, she suddenly wasn't so scared of ending up alone. In Gryffindor she found herself an extra family. She also found love in Augustus Rookwood.

Augustus became her best friend and so much more. So you could imagine how lost she felt when he suddenly said that he could not be with her anymore and left.

Ros focused on her career. Being alone was the worst thing imaginary, so she found herself a job of always having people around. She became a bartender at the Three Broomsticks and throughout the years, she gained more and more influence in the business. The owner grew older and older, and as of a few months now, Ros is the proud owner of the Three Broomsticks.

No one would think that Cressida is only a few minutes older than her twin brother as he towers over her and she's affectionately called 'Little Malfoy' by many.

From young on, the Malfoy knew what was to be expected in life; look pretty and become a mother. And she was okay with that. She would love to be a mother in the future but the fact that her parents would decide who she would marry and who would become the father of her children, was something she did not like.

Cressida knew from very early on that she did not believe in the Pureblood world they lived in. She does not feel comfortable at all. She doesn't want to pick a side, which is why she is neutral in the war that is currently going on.

The secret of her believes leans heavily on her. Her family - especially her twin brother - were the most important people in life but she could not believe in the same things as they did.

Over the years, Cressida had been in an on and off relationship with Tiberius McLaggen. From an early age on she knew that he was the one but he did not fit the rules her family saw for her for the future partner of their Pureblood daughter.

After the wedding of her brother, Cressida finally picked up her things and moved in with Tiberius, after he proposed to her. Despite the fact that it meant leaving her brother behind, she had to follow her heart.

A quick wedding followed with just two witnesses to accompany them at the event, they are now searching their way in their new reality.

Severus Snape is an only child, born to a muggle father, Tobias and pureblood witch, Eileen Snape. He was raised in the poor area of Spinner's End, a muggle dwelling, that was close to Lily and Petunia Evans. He met them when he was nine years old and instantly fell in love with Lily Evans, though only a friendship would be formed.

It was together they would attend Hogwarts, though the excitement was short lived when he was placed into Slytherin and she was put into Gryffindor. He rather excelled in his studies, potions and defense against the dark arts became his passion. This is also when he formed a hatred for the likes of James Potter and Sirius Black, tired of their constant bullying. Though over the years it did put a strain on his friendship with Lily, having them falling out in his fifth year when he took to a group of Slytherins who believed in a pure society. He was part of Slughorn's group for his talent's in potion-making.

The hardest part for Severus was losing Lily and he found himself going through a downward spiral where he would seek out the physical touch of others, but unable to form any meaningful connections, his heart still belonging to a certain redhead.

Shortly out of Hogwarts, Snape was recruited to be a Death Eater, soon after regretting his choices, unable to fully believe in what they had to offer. Though, he kept his head down and did what was needed of him, not wanting to draw attention to himself.
