Background:

Azelma is the eldest child of Anthony and Megan Goldstein (neé Jones). She has three younger siblings, her twin brother Aaron who is no less than six minutes younger than her, as well as Luke and Helena. Azelma began attending Hogwarts in 2013 and was sorted into Ravenclaw. She left the school two years ago and is now an alumni.  

Personality:

Throughout her life Azelma has shone with the confidence of the eldest child, yet she was never spoiled by her parents. Being a twin meant that she and her twin brother, Aaron, had to share Anthony and Megan’s newfound fascination for parenthood between them. However Azelma has never resented her parents or her twin for having to share; in fact it only made the bond between her and Aaron stronger. She was always quite a personality around Hogwarts and one of the most confident girls in the school. In this case at least she had a right to be. She was smart, happy and caring so nobody had much of a reason to refuse her thirst for a good time. Despite Aaron’s arrogance, the siblings are relatively similar in personalities. Having a constant companion since birth has encouraged the twins to have a playful personality. Both are the happy go lucky type and take life one step at a time. Azelma has always had a fascination for life. She takes it in her stride to do things in the best way she possibly can which is why she has always thrived both in and out of Hogwarts. She is incredibly inquisitive and likes to know things, especially things that involve her siblings. Luke, her younger brother, is the biggest victim of her curiosity. She constantly questions him about his love life which usually ends on the subject of Dominique Weasley. While this may be seen as nosey, it is merely harmless curiosity and Azelma always has good intentions. This keen nature has also helped her academically. Her thirst for knowledge was the main reason why she was constantly near the top of most of her classes, especially charms and potions. In class her hand would shoot up like a rocket every time, whenever the teacher asked “now, does anyone have any questions?” Additionally, Azelma is incredibly joyful. She is nearly always happy, not necessarily smiling at everything she sees but certainly has the look in her eye of someone who is having a good day. Now she is free from Hogwarts she has fewer things to worry about; not that she didn’t enjoy attending the school, but so much homework and exams left her unoccupied to have time to do the things she wants to do. However, her curiosity for things does sometimes get her into a spot of trouble. At Hogwarts, her peers learned to accept that she would always ask questions and in truth were quite thankful for it, since it meant that they didn’t have to. Yet now in adulthood Azelma is often accused of being nosey. It also affects her relationships. Despite having had many boyfriends in the past, unlike her twin brother, love interests don’t come easily. Sure she is incredibly beautiful and throughout the years has grown out of a frizzy mane of hair which once made Hermione Granger’s look like a few curls. But it’s her prying nature that makes boys become wary of spending time with her. She can ask all sorts of awkward questions. ‘Who was your last girlfriend?’, ‘Was she cute?’, ‘Am I cute?’ and of course, “Are you a virgin?” She does not become jealous easily, so the answers to their questions don’t make her envious of any past girlfriends. She for one couldn’t care less if they were a virgin or not. She certainly isn’t and is perfectly comfortable talking about and pursuing in the subject. Instead these questions make the guys want to back off a little; after all, some of the subjects she likes to include are pretty touchy ones for a first date. It’s not that Azelma means to be snooping but it just comes naturally with the easy confidence she possesses around others. Usually, Azelma is a happy soul content with the simple things. She rarely gets angry but when she does there is hell to pay. She is like a storm of rage which can be pretty destructive in the wrong hands. Azelma doesn’t like this part of herself so tries not to let people get to her. She has said things in the past which she wishes could have gone unsaid. Azelma knows she cannot change the past so is determined to control her future. Her confidence has always driven Azelma to a certain career. Despite all of the jobs that people have offered to her with the grades she achieved at Hogwarts, her biggest dream is to act. Azelma has always had a keen interest in acting on a stage so the second she left Hogwarts, she enrolled at any club she could find. Most were muggle clubs which she enjoyed but she wanted a career in acting within the wizarding world. She eventually found the Lockhart Stage School for performing arts. The woman running the school was Adele, a small plump red head in her mid-thirties who had an obsession with Gilderoy Lockhart and had decided to name her acting group in his honour, despite him being in St. Mungo’s Hospital for more than ten years. Azelma was not one to judge her obsession and embraced Adele and the fellow members. She has been visiting the group weekly for three years and is now one of their most talented students. That said, she has not yet been offered a job in her dream career so is working in The Three Broomsticks. Juggling relationships, work and acting is difficult but somehow Azelma manages to pull it off. However working in one of the busiest pubs in the wizarding world, especially one that is close to Hogwarts, allows Azelma to overhear some things that maybe she shouldn’t. Most of it is harmless gossip coming from giggling school girls but if word was to come out, Azelma would be the first to hear it. After all, gossip in Hogsmeade spreads like an uncontrollable wildfire and Azelma’s thirst for knowledge would only add to the heated outcome.

Notable Relationships:

Anthony, Megan, Aaron, Luke and Helena Goldstein:

The Goldstein’s are a close knitted family and Azelma has a good relationship with all of its members. She no longer lives at home, but visits her parents often. Anthony and Megan never spoiled any of their children, although Megan perhaps did fuss over Aaron just that little bit more, so Azelma and the rest of her siblings are not materialistic. That said, Anthony has never been a fan of Azelma’s acting dreams so when the subject arises between them, it doesn’t usually end well. Aaron and Azelma have always been close and there are few things that make them argue. The only big argument that the twins have had was when Aaron messed around with one of Azelma’s ex-boyfriends but this didn’t last for long and in the end they both came to the conclusion that neither of them were to blame. As for the boyfriend, things for him did not end well. Being on the wrong side of both of the Goldstein twins is not wise. As for Luke and Helena, Azelma is also extremely close to both; particularly Luke. She often teases Luke about his relationships trouble, mocking him for still being a virgin and for being so hopelessly puppy eyes around Dominique Weasley. Yet she has a very motherly approach to him and although doesn’t show this with her sensitivity, does so by insisting on meeting him at The Three Broomsticks during Hogsmeade weekends. Azelma is also very fond of Helena, although she is the sibling whom she argues with the most. This is mostly due to Helena being slightly jealous of her older sister. Azelma is aware of this and does her best to convince Helena that she’s perfect as she seems to be, but this only increases the lingering envy between them. Despite this she maintains a good relationship with all of her family which has only become stronger since she left Hogwarts.

 Background:

Frank is the only son and the oldest child of Neville and Hannah Longbottom (neé Abbott), and was named after his paternal grandfather, Frank Longbottom I. He has a younger sister named Alice, who is currently in her sixth year and was named after their paternal grandmother. His father, Neville, works at Hogwarts as the Herbology professor, and his mother, Hannah owns and lives in the Leaky Cauldron.

In September of 2016, he began attending Hogwarts and is now in his 7th year. 

Personality:

While Frank does share few traits with his father, he is almost the exact opposite of what Neville was like when in his days at Hogwarts. Where Neville  was clumsy, forgetful, shy, and timid; Frank is is coordinated, recalling, unreserved, and fearless. Many may have doubted whether or not Neville belonged in Gryffindor, but nobody doubted the fact that Frank would be sorted into Gryffindor. It was clear from the very beginning exactly which house he embodied. With his courage and bravery, Frank not only reflects the virtues of Gryffindor house, his personality is the exact reflection of Neville’s during the Second Wizarding war. Unlike his father, Frank has never had any issues regarding his self-esteem. The boy has always strutted with an air of confidence in both himself and his magical abilities. He is intelligent on multiple levels. Not only is he book smart, but street smart as well. It is known that Frank is one of those people who can come out on top of things even if he  doesn't try. His success has been in not just grades, but looks and character. The boy is evidently one of the attractive ones at Hogwarts, while his kindness is just a contributing factor in addition to his looks. Its hard to dislike Frank with his good natured smile and accepting personality. Being a half-blood himself, Frank doesn’t condone the way the Slytherins treat the other half-bloods and muggleborn students. His prejudice is as non-existent just as Malfoy's is existent. Prejudiced is not a term that comes up when one thinks of Frank Longbottom II. Like a true Gryffindor, he is brave until the very end; he seeks adventure. Honest and easy going, but confident and boisterous; its almost as if his ego is bipolar. One moment its there, the next its gone; replaced by the affectionate young man known as Frank, who cares about others and humanity more than he cares for himself. He is opinionated, especially regarding the blood purity debate. Although he tries to avoid conflicts, arguments, and debates, but when it comes to the blood purity topic, Frank does not hold back at all. His constant challenging of the Slytherins generally roots from the fact that he is part of a cause that fights again blood prejudice: a cause he believes in a great deal and being who he is, Frank will fight for what he believes in. Charismatic and daring, Frank is an extremely charming young man who has much to say and makes a rather instant and lasting impression that is evidently influential upon his peers, especially the females. With his charming personality and good looks, as well as experience in the art of seduction, its no wonder that women are attracted to him like moths to a flame. They have seated him on a pedestal of adoration and he adores them in return; he plays well in the game of flirtation - almost too well, according to those who know him. Its no secret that Frank is a man of the women and has had many in the past, most of which he hardly remembers, however, those who know him find this to be a humorous feat. as Frank is rather harmless and generally means none of it. His popularity with the female population of the school is both a distraction and a boost of confidence, especially with an uncertain, potential war on the horizon. Though his popularity and numerous escapades may suggest that he is more physically active, this is in fact, incorrect. Frank is quite a few shades more soft-hearted than the likes of those who do engage in such physical acts and is more on the emotional and romantic side of such relationships. The boy is in love with love itself and the idea of it. He is a lover in all areas; a lover of ambition, achievement, the arts and romance itself. Frank cherishes flowers, writes poetry, pities the less fortunate, loves people, plays the piano, and has a fantasy for a vision of the future. Above all, he is a kind soul with a good heart. Immature and a foolish teenage boy at times, but kind. One to take in the beauty around him, of both people and the world; he enjoys strolling through the gardens with whomever may be on his arm that week and often is more interested in the passage of stars and clouds than events. There are two sides to him and his mind: the mature lover of love and the immature young man enjoying his youth. He talks gently with his head held high, isn't the least bit self-concious or shy. Devoted is one of the many words that can be used to describe him. He is devoted member of Tobias Barrowman's revolutionary group and a friend of the man himself, despite being a few years younger than him. He is devoted to whichever lady he is with. His devotion in that sense, however, has been called overbearing and if often the reason why many women leave him in addition to him leaving them. The boy has the tendency to shower them with poetry written by him, from the colour of their hair to each freckle on their face, and sends dozens of flowers at a day's time. Granted, there have been times where he has written poems about other physical areas of a lady where he believed the act to be okay and his significant other didn't. Above all he is hopelessly devoted to Molly Weasley. Its almost as if he lives in the nineteenth century with his idealistic beliefs about love. He is viewed to be as the epitome of innocence with a hint of crudity. A respectable, but often too persistent young man. He is enthusiastic and extremely willing to prove himself to Molly, through spontaneous - and often annoying - little students as sending her countless parchments of poetry he wrote about her, and more often than not, giant bouquets of flowers. He has little concern regarding what this might mean for both of their reputations. Franks affection regarding her, mixed with his ambition for most things, has made him absolutely blind when it comes to Molly and relentlessly pursues her.

Notable Relationships:

Neville, Hannah, Alice II, Frank I, Alice I, and Augusta:

While most students may have been embarrassed if their parent worked at their school, Frank belongs to the minority of those who either aren't bothered by this, or simply don't care. The former being him. Having had a close relationship with both of his parents in his childhood, he has always been fond of them on a deeper level and  doesn’t mind the fact that his father works at his school, its simply a bigger advantage for him than it is a disadvantage should he ever need any herbology related help, or just simple support, he can go to his father. He sees Hannah less often than he gets to see Neville, mostly due to her job, but majority of the other students at Hogwarts get to see neither of their parents except for during breaks, therefore he isn’t too upset about that. Frank is known for being extremely protective of his younger sister Alice, to the point where it may even annoy her a little, but the two do love each other dearly. He worries about her more than anybody else and finds himself getting scared for her. For example, if she’s with a boy he goes up to her and asks her everything about him to make sure she’s doing alright. His biggest priority to make sure his younger sister is safe and always looks out for her. He can also be snarky around the Slytherins and is one of his pet peeves when they not only bully him or his friends, but mostly his little sister.  Frank visits his grandparents at St.Mungo’s every chance he gets. Due to their condition, he isn't very close to them, however, he still has the gum wrapper his grandmother gave him when he was younger, on a trip to St. Mungo’s, and has cherished it since. He’s is also fairly close to his greatgrandmother, Augusta, but could do without her knitted sweaters.

Jasper Hill, Tobias Barrowman & Others:

Frank's best friend at Hogwarts is Jasper Hill who is also a part of the organization, SBD (Stop Blood Discrimination). The organization, run by the alumni Tobias Barrowman and consisting of both Tobias and Frank's friends who are also alumni, was what introduced Frank to the other men. It was in the summer before his sixth year and he had stumbled upon a protest that was taking place in Diagon Alley. Ever since then he has been a devoted member of the cause and a devoted friend to the men who have become his brothers. He hold great admiration for Tobias because without him, their crusade itself wouldn't have been possible. Also because he is one of the few to notice the discrimination that still goes on, regarding blood types, and has spoke up against it.
