Mandrakes & OCs

November's outfit

8th March 1897. The bi-weekly newsletter bringing you the latest news and gossip at Hogwarts for witchcraft and wizardry written by Winona Rosewood - this is the entry for this month's @hp-12monthsofmagic challenge

CELEBRATING WITCH MONTH

This month of March we want to unofficially celebrate the wonderful and wickedly talented witches found within our own school of witchcraft and wizardry, so wizards take a step back while today I will dedicate this week's newsletter to several ladies that I believe deserve the utmost attention. Unfortunately, the small amount I can write is only a small part as they are complex and people should take the time to get to know them.

AN ENTREPRENEUR IN HER OWN RIGHT

This may be my bias as Victoria Summer @whatwouldvalerydo, my dearest and darling friend to place her first but it would be outrageous if I didn't. This sweet and fair Gryffindor has a business mind screw on top. Her perfumes are to die for and I have never smelled so heavenly. I could dedicate a while page to her but I must share it with others.

BRINGING THE FIRE TO HOWARTS

Ema McGiliguddy @kc-and-co entered Hogwarts with fire and style. Literally. This adventerous Slytherin has all eyes on her and certainly the Newspapers have been lying as she is far from the frail girl they make her out to be. I do watch her in anticipation for what may be next on her path of adventure.

A WITCH OF HER OWN MAKING

What goes on behind this inquisitive Ravenclaw's mind is anyone's best guess but Persephone Gould @cursebreakerfarrier is certainly multi talented. A prefect I would love to have and daring in her choice of past time endevours like fencing to name but one.

MORE THAN JUST A STYLE ICON

Despite my past article about her, Carolyn Nyberg @lifeofkaze I do find she certain qualities to be admired. While her beauty is so great that she makes the beautification potion envy there, she is so much more with mind enviable too.

THE ALCHEMIST'S GOLD

Though brief our interaction may be through Delilah Sweets, Violette Durand @cursed-herbalist it was made clear to me that she is going to go far. In spite of her agreeable nature, there is an ambition to create more paths for women in alchemy.

A NEW AND GORGEOUS LIONESS

Io Gordon @drinkyoursoupbitch, Head Girl and the latest addition to our wild Gryffindor brood. She is certainly welcomed with open arms, at the very least from me.

AN ASTRONOMICAL MIND

Now while I don’t have much to do with Héloïse Perrault @the-al-chemist, I heard much about her. This French witch is proving herself of wit and intellect certianly befitting of a Ravenclaw. Her starry mind will certainly bedazzle everyone at Hogwarts.

A SOPHISTICATED POTIONEER

It seems like Arcano Sibling Trios are common among the family! Except this time one of them is evil

Thanks for the tag @jerzwriter ☺️

You have a good one over there... 😏

And here I can't say the same...

I've got Ferit Korhan - since he's such a major red flag (and no matter how cute and talented the actor Mert Ramazan Demir is), the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'D NEVER EVER MARRY THIS MAN.

And if like the character Seyran in the series I was forced into marrying him, I wouldn't even wait long enough to be charmed by him (or became a victim of Stockholm syndrome), I'd run away first chance I got...

I'd marry Lucrezia Borgia any day 🥹

Oh my god, I get to marry Shauna Shipman. This is the best day of my life. Yes, ma’am 💍

Thank you for the taaaag @kc-and-co 💛💙

So I *am* probably cheating in this, but who knows me knows that I know (these are a lot of 'knows') shit about tv shows or movies or anything, and most celeb-pictures in my camera roll are bc of OCs, so I'm just gonna roll with that.

In that regard, I'd have to marry Ida Silverling, the Silver General, the Silver Bitch, who is one of two main protagonist of my original project that is yet in daydreaming phase, and while I love her very much, I'm not entirely sure I'd like to marry her, ngl 😅

The looks don't hurt though

Skalafell Lore (1/?) - Arcano Trading Company

Situated on the shores of the Ulvefjorden, the docks of Skalafell are home to the Arcano Trading Company. Founded by the Arcano Family a long time ago, it now is lead by Sigr Stormborne. He was a close family friend with the previous owners Annika and Tyr Arcano. Upon their death in 2007, it passed to him.

Employees include shipwrights, sailors, fishermen, and merchants. Those who take jobs on trading routes risk it all crossing the ocean to visit trading ports with wizard populations. Only the hardiest of Vikings join as the strength required to maintain ropes and sails during rough storm tossed seas is incredible. This job is dangerous as many longships are lost to the sea.

The Arcano Sisters

Dayamanti, Dafne, & Dielle

"What are we?"

"Probably stupid."

"Lost. And desperate."

"I don't know anymore."

"Why do you ask me that?"

"Tough question to answer."

"What would you like us to be?"

"Human. At least I hope we still are."

"Not the right time for that question."

"I would like us to be more than friends."

"Nothing anymore. We are nothing to each other."

A/N: This was written for the @hp-12monthsofmagic January theme: Anything’s Possible (if you’ve got enough nerve). Warnings: Sirius Black slander (I’m sorry but everyone thinks he’s a murderer 😩)

July 1995 — Auror Office, Ministry of Magic

“You two have a lot of nerve thinking you can just ask Shacklebot to put a couple of Junior Aurors on the Black case.”

“Shut it, Dawlish,” snapped Tonks.

Ellie gently elbowed her pink-haired friend in the ribs and smiled politely at Dawlish.

“Is Auror Shacklebolt in, then? We have some theories and strategies we’d like to present to him,” she said in her most professional voice.
