MAGIC

Wand: Elder, thunderbird tail feather, 14”

-> Elder was the rarest wand wood of all and reputed to be deeply unlucky, elder wands were trickier to master than any other. They contained powerful magic, but scorned to remain with an owner who was not the superior of their company; it took a remarkable wizard to keep an elder wand for any length of time. Only a highly unusual person would find their perfect match in the elder, and on the rare occasion when such a pairing occurred, it might be taken as certain that the witch or wizard in question was marked out for a special destiny.

FUN FACTS

— River was unable to cast a Patronus until his mid twenties because of all the turmoil he’d experienced. It was at that point things began to settle down and he became comfortable with himself and his abilities as well as realising who his true friends were. His Patronus- a Thestral- represents his struggles with death and represents his abilities to help the dead move on to the ‘other side’.

— River was a father figure to Dash since the day they met. River took care of him when Samara had work to do or errands to run and loved the boy as if he was his own. He asked Dash’s permission first and foremost when he wanted to ask Samara to marry him and to have Dash say yes meant the world to him.

— River only ever returns to the ruins of his childhood home in Oregon the once, where he finds the ghost of his eldest brother. River tells Forrest of what happened and who he really is and about their family’s connection to magic before the two argue and eventually reconcile. It’s then that River helps his brother to move on to the ‘other side’ and releases a burden in River’s life. He loses most of his sense of guilt and what happened helps himself to move on as well.

River Hyde + Hyacinths

river & samara | roaring 20s au

river is a struggling writer who feels stuck with his career. his most popular book is a haunting tale of a man whose house burned down. the man survived the fire but his past won't leave him alone. his other novels are not selling well.

river is engaged to a wealthy woman but he hasn't found happiness with her. he plans to marry her in the near future anyway. his family history keeps him tied to the high society.

everything changes when his childhood friend samara arrives in the city with her new born son. she claims that his father died during the war but really there's something off about the story and the way samara is behaving. river and samara haven't met since their teenage years but they have been writing to each other every month. yet samara failed to inform there was a man in her life and that she was to be a mother.

samara is wild and carefree just like river remembers her. she lives life at its fullest and it's causing the people in their society to frown upon her.

the two start a secret affair. it makes river feel more alive than he has in years.

afraid of causing a scandal and ruining river's reputation, samara and her son disappear all of a sudden without a trace.

river makes a choice to end his engagement and goes looking for samara in hopes of starting a life with her away from the high society. will he find her?
