ABOUT HUNTER:

Hunter grew up in a family that was strict, but loving. Both of his parents worked high-powered jobs that kept them away from the house – his father was CEO of his own company, and his mother was Mr. Clarington’s chief financial officer. The company Mr. and Mrs. Clarington worked for sometimes struck Hunter as more important to them than he was himself. He would find himself resenting them whenever they were absent, but on the occasions one or both of his parents were actually home, they doted on Hunter. It was a disjointing, puzzling childhood.

Hunter attended a military academy, not because he was a troubled child or a rebellious one, as is the cliche. But Mr. Clarington, Hunter’s grandfather, and his great-grandfather had been in the military in some form of another, before starting successful careers in either law or business. It was understood that Hunter would do the same. Whether he wanted to or not.

They moved to Ohio because his father decided to start a new branch of his company there, and leave Mrs. Clarington as CEO of his original office. The family was well-off enough for Mrs. Clarington to afford the brief flight from Colorado to Ohio, or vice versa. Hunter was taken out of his military school with the understanding that he would get top grades so he could get into West Point. It was the type of pressure that had always been exerted on him.

Hunter fully believes that he fell in love with Sebastian first. It wasn’t love at first sight, exactly, but Hunter was definitely attracted to him from day one, even if it took him a while to admit it to himself. Sebastian was gorgeous, cocky, smart – he was completely intoxicating to Hunter. And he still is, all this time later.

HUNTER’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET:

One of his students has made it clear that she is in love with him, and she has begun to stalk him – leaving notes under his windshield wiper when his car is parked in the gym parking lot, sending letters and packages to his house, telling him how much she loves him. Even though she’s so much younger than he is, he’s almost afraid of her.

JASMINE ROSIER - PUREBLOOD - AMBER HEARD - TAKEN CHARMS PROFESSOR

Jasmine Rosier had a tough childhood, being raised with parental ideals that as a kid, she did not accept. It was hard, for a seven year old girl to understand why she couldn’t play outside with the muggleborn girl that lived around the corner, and why she couldn’t go to her sleepover. An innocent mind, that was tainted over the years, Jasmine soon grew into the person that her parents were shaping her to become. Their influence on her life was incredibly substantial, wanting the best from their eldest child, and their only daughter. They had a plan for her all along - which meant that childhood innocence and humility to everyone of any blood type had to be stamped out of her as soon as possible. Over the years, it was clear to see when Jas changed. She grew less tolerant of those with unpure blood, although there was always something niggling inside of her, wondering if she was going down the wrong path. But she never let that show, for apperarance purposes - if she let on about it to her parents, she had no idea what they would do.

Her life at Hogwarts wasn’t as simple as she had hoped. Once the Sorting Hat was placed on her head, the girl closed her eyes and asked it to put her in Slytherin. She was told, that Ravenclaw, or even Gryffindor would be a better fit for someone like her, but she knew that if she was put into either of those houses, that it would cast a shadow over the Rosier household. Luckily, the Sorting Hat listened to her, and she was placed in Slytherin, the house that the Rosier’s have been placed in for generations. The Sorting Hat had been right, of course. Slytherin was not a place for her - they were harsh, and cold, and spoke terribly about people that weren’t purebloods. But Jas didn’t say a word. In fact, she even went along with it, laughing and joking along with the rest of her house when the Muggleborns were attacked, or pranked, just so that she would fit in. Maybe, just maybe, if she pretended for long enough that she was a Slytherin, she would actually become a Slytherin. Of course, that was a delusional statement that she had in her mind, and whilst she graduated with the knowledge that she would be joining the ranks of the Death Eaters to fight for the supremacy of blood purity, she still didn’t feel one hundred percent right about it.

Nothing has been easy for Jasmine. She lost her ability to cast a patronus over the last few years, just as she is losing sense of her real self. For the last year, she has been undercover for the Death Eaters, deep inside the Ministry. She is an Auror, working for the Department of Law Enforcement, and on a weekly basis, she has to relay back what she has learnt from the Aurors, back to those at the Death Eater Headquarters. No-one is suspecting of her yet, as she fits in rather well with the members of the Order, and the Aurors. There’s a little part of her that is wondering if she should come clean to them - and that maybe, just maybe, they would take her on as one of their own, as use her as a double agent back on those that she is currently working for, but she doesn’t want to risk it. Her whole life has been working towards this, to get this deep into the Ministry, and she’s finally here.

She’s just found herself too deep in the lie, and is wondering if she ever wants to get out of it. She’s recently been asked if she can join Hogwarts, and has graciously accepted the position of Charms Professor, with Professor Flitwick needing to take a leave of absence. It’s her favourite subject of all, and it’s bringing back memories of the little girl that she left behind all those years ago, the little girl that she was supposed to grow up from in her own time, not forced to by her parents. Jas wonders on a daily basis if this is the person that she would have become, if she hadn’t been born into family that supported the cause of The Dark Lord, but she can’t think like that. Thinking like that will get her discovered, and killed.

ELIZABETH AVERY - PUREBLOOD - KAREN GILLAN - TAKEN CHARMS ASSISTANT

Elizabeth Avery is the oldest daughter of Ignatius and Lucinda Avery, born into one of the Sacred 28 Pureblood families. Like many other pureblood girls, she was taught from a young age the value of acting like a good, proper pureblood. Her mother instructed her that her job was to always remain dignified, but her father always seemed to interest her more. He was one of Voldemort’s followers, and she found his cloak and mask, when she was 8 and found herself interested in what her father did. She was told that good little girls didn’t concern themselves with those matters, and she respected her mother’s wishes and let it be.  But her curiosity was piqued, and she did not forget. As she went through Hogwarts, she found herself more drawn to the dark magic than some of the lessons that she was put through. But she was not one of those girls that was frequently found in Slytherin house.  She did well in school, especially Charms, and eventually, taught herself how to mix Dark Magic and Charms. 

Once she left Hogwarts, she went on to get a job working at Borgin and Burke’s against her parents wishes. Her mother didn’t understand why she couldnt just settle with a pureblood, so that their family honor would continue to be preserved.  But that’s not the life that Beth wanted for herself.  When she was 21, she found herself finally knowing what it meant to serve the Dark Lord, and she knew that she wanted that for herself. But, she also knew that women were not freely accepted into it, so she started doing what she could, torturing a few people here and there, in an effort to hopefully prove herself. Her mother finds this behavior displeasing and her father doesn’t say much about it. 

Finally, she took a job at Hogwarts this summer and will start in the fall as the new Charms Assistant. Beth still hasn’t received her mark, but she did manage to get her father to talk to the people who recruit for the Death Eaters, and she has offered to do tasks for them, as a means to get what she wants, in the end, or at least she hopes. She is good at hiding her true desires from people, can come off levelheaded and sweet. But in the end, she’ll do what it takes to finally hopefully achieve her lifetime goal of being allowed to serve him, and she will stop at nothing to get it.

AISLINN COLLINS - MUGGLEBORN - TATIANA MASLANY - TAKEN POTIONS ASSISTANT

Aislinn, who goes by Ash, was raised in muggle foster care after she was abandoned by her parents at the train station as a baby.  She recently found out who her parents were and why her mother abandoned her.  She is muggle born.  As a child, she frequently ran away from her foster homes and spent most of her time on the streets.  However, her childhood friend, Rowan was the one bright spot in her life.  They learned how to fight together and survive on the streets, the two were nearly inseparable.  However, when Ash was 9 and Rowan was 11, he disappeared and she wouldn’t see him for two more years.  She had no real childhood, but she was a tough kid, a survivor.  It was on one of the occasions that she had run away from her foster family and had been sleeping in a dark alley between the folds of a cardboard box, when the owl delivered her letter from Hogwarts.  

Despite thinking that the letter had to be bullshit and she was stupid to believe in magic and the sort, she very stupidly found herself scribbling on the letter “I accept but don’t know how to buy all of the supplies.”  She gave the owl the letter and the owl took off.  Thinking the whole thing had been a dream or something, Aislinn went back to sleep.  She was awoken the next morning by a grim looking Minerva McGonagall who spent a lot of time tsking about how dirty Aislinn was and where she was sleeping.  She explained that Hogwarts was real, that Aislinn was a witch and that she could attend Hogwarts and the school would provide a scholarship fund to pay for her supplies.  

McGonagall took Aislinn to Diagon alley and helped her purchase all of the things she would need for her first year at Hogwarts.  Including a wand that was made of maple wood with a dragon core, 12.5 inches long and supple.  And McGonagall even added 9 galleons to the fund so that Aislinn could purchase a black cat that would be a trusted companion for years to come.  Once the day was over, Aislinn thought she would be returned to that alley in muggle London, but instead she was brought to a family McGonagall knew.  The arrangement was only temporary until the start of school.  

Once school started, the sorting hat was placed on her head and the hat sat silently on her head for minutes to come.  She thought maybe the hat would spout out that she wasn’t a witch and she was an imposter and couldn’t be sorted, but after agonizingly silent minutes ticked by the hat finally yelled out “GRYFFINDOR!”  Aislinn was sorted into Gryffindor.  At first she was happy with the sorting, everybody seemed friendly enough, but there would be times when she worried that maybe the hat got it wrong.  

Ash was also very surprised to find that Rowan was there at Hogwarts and in Gryffindor.  She was upset with him for leaving her and not telling her about Hogwarts or anything about his life.  But she forgave them and the two were thick as thieves once again.  

As a student a Hogwarts, Aislinn was often bullied.  She couldn’t answer questions about her blood purity or her parents or anything that other students might have wondered about her.  

Ash was guarded and didn’t make friends easily. But among her friends, the people she held dear to her were Rowan, Lyra, and Cecilia. They were the people she trusted and let in past her walls and defenses.

Additionally  she got into fights occasionally.  Not just fights with magic, but physical fights too.  She spent a lot of time getting disapproving looks from McGonagall and Dumbledore.  And many times she worried that the next time she landed in their office, she would get kicked out.  But it never came.   Her best subjects were Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions.  Nobody was more surprised than her.  But she really enjoyed potion brewing and she had a natural ability to do so.

During the holiday breaks, Aislinn stayed at the castle.  But when summer came and everybody returned home, Ash felt like she had no place to go.  But the couple, the one who McGonagall had taken her to stay with before the first year started, were happy to take Aislinn in.  She never became too close to them, but she always appreciated the kindness they showed her.  They became like a foster family to her, but unlike the muggle families they had never demanded anything of her for the care and protection they offered her.  They were good people.  To this day, she still goes back to visit them for holidays and birthdays. They still correspond frequently and they are the closest thing she ever had to real parents.  

When she was 16 and Rowan was 18, he left Hogwarts and that would be the last she saw of him for ten years.  It broke her heart and she missed him terribly, but she was a survivor and she would survive without him.  But life at Hogwarts without Rowan had been hard for Ash.  

After she left Hogwarts, she became a professional brewer, making potions for wealthy families.  But her skill in potion brewing brought the wrong kind of attention to her.  A certain dark wizard wanted her recruited.  But Dumbledore got to her first, offering her a position as the potions professor.  The offer came right after Ash had been attacked by a hooded figure as she walked home one night.  The event scared her and she was only too happy to accept Dumbledore’s offer.  But that wasn’t the only reason why she took the position.  Hogwarts had been such an important part of her life, that she wanted to give back and she wanted to inspire other students the way she had been inspired.   There are also a few familiar faces among the teachers. Including Rowan, who is now the Groundskeeper and who she has not seen in ten years.  Just when they had started rekindling their friendship and maybe finding it was a little more than friendship, Rowan abandoned her for the third and final time.  One day he was there, the next he was gone, nothing but a piece of parchment where he he scribbled a “Sorry.  Don’t hate me.” and had left it for her to find.   Rowan had abandoned her again, just like her mother had abandoned her at the train station as a newborn baby.  Recently Ash tracked down her birth parents, finding them in muggle London.  She found out that her mother and father were both Muggles who did not know anything about the wizard world. Her father didn’t even know Ash existed because her mother had kept it a secret from him. Ash is keeping that information secret, not willing to tell anyone she doesn’t trust, for fear that she will become the new target for death eaters.   While Ash has the ability to be charismatic, if she tried, she finds it safer to keep her guard up than to risk being hurt.  Another thing to note about Aislinn is that the lines are blurred between dark and light for her.  Some of her actions might be as morally questionable. She just doesn’t see every action as being good or bad, black or white.  She thinks everything in terms of shades of grey.
