Duncan 🤝 Carewyn

After the death of Rowan Khanna, quite a few members of the sixth-year class rallied around her best friend, Carewyn Cromwell, in the pursuit of some justice for their fallen classmate. This led to the creation of the Circle of Khanna, the purpose of which was solely to avenge Rowan by bringing her murderer, Patricia Rakepick, to justice and stop the criminal syndicate Rakepick was a part of, R, from causing any more harm to anyone else. Before long this organization also gained members outside of Rowan's class -- the already-graduated Bill Weasley was one of the group's founding members and arguably its second-in-command after Carewyn, of course, but the group also gained much younger students such as Penny's second year sister Beatrice Haywood, Bill and Charlie's first-year twin brothers Fred and George Weasley, and first-year Hufflepuff magical prodigy Cedric Diggory.

The Circle's most unusual member, however, was the ghost who most commonly occupied the Prefect's Bathroom on the fifth floor -- Duncan Ashe.

In life, Duncan had been friends with Carewyn's older brother, Jacob. When she first met him, Duncan acted very hostile toward the mere mention of Jacob, to the point that she wondered how they ever could've been friends, but over time, as she got to know him better, Carewyn came to see that a lot of Duncan's harsh words toward Jacob were a defense mechanism more than anything, and that he'd truly been very fond of Jacob, even if he had a hard time expressing it. Duncan would even sing with Carewyn sometimes, not just songs she liked, but ones Jacob liked too! And once Jacob was freed from the Portrait Vault and he finally got the opportunity to see Duncan again, even just as a ghost, all remnants of the bitter attitude Carewyn encountered when she first met Duncan had seemingly dissipated. There were even days when Duncan acted legitimately cheerful -- like when he decided to "check in" on Carewyn by poking his head through her Potions textbook while she was studying in the empty Slytherin commonroom.

"You're up well past your curfew, young lady," Duncan's head smirked mischievously at her through the book.

When Carewyn subconsciously dropped it, Duncan laughed, swirling as a translucent shade up into the air over her even as she glared up at him.

"Duncan!" she scolded, clutching her heart. "That's not funny! You scared me half to death!"

Duncan's smirk only broadened as he crossed his arms over his transparent, robed chest. "Hey, it's not my fault you were way too focused on what you were doing to notice your surroundings. Honestly -- you and Jacob really are two of a pair..."

"I was focused because I have a test next week," Carewyn said coolly, leaning over to pick up her book. "I doubt whatever Jacob was focused on was test answers."

Duncan gave a short, bark-like laugh. "Ha! Of course not! More likely he was obsessively comparing illustrations of various dragon breeds, trying to assess the aerodynamics of their respective wing-spans or some nonsense..."

Even while saying this, something oddly fond flickered through Duncan's eyes. It made Carewyn smile a bit more sincerely despite herself.

"Probably..."

Duncan cocked his eyebrows at her expression, and Carewyn had to cover her mouth with her hand to hold in a giggle.

"Sorry, it's just -- when you used to talk about my brother before, it always sounded like you hated him. Even if I know you didn't, really. But now...well, I can't read your emotions as well, with you being a ghost...but I still feel like you're not holding back as much. Like you're being more honest than before."

Carewyn smiled encouragingly at him.

"It's really cool to hear. And to hear about Jacob from you too...I can tell you were really close."

Duncan was so taken aback by this that he actually seemed to flush, his transparent cheeks darkening with gray. He looked away quickly, flustered.

"Oh, don't cod me! I'm not acting in any particular way all of a sudden -- just...just not quite so mad at him anymore, now that we've talked everything out..."

Carewyn smiled a bit more wryly. "I'm glad you did that too. Jacob's never been good with people -- I reckon he was only going to know how you felt when you were finally honest with him -- "

"Oh, eff off, will you?" grumbled Duncan halfheartedly, flushing more gray than ever.

Rather than teasing Duncan further, Carewyn smiled a bit more kindly again.

"I'm serious, Duncan," she said. "I'm glad you and Jacob talked things out. And I'm glad you're happier...after everything you've been through, you deserve it."

Her eyes softened.

"...I'm happy my brother had someone like you. That he still does."

Duncan looked up at Carewyn, that gray flush still clinging to his cheeks. There was something almost unsure about his expression, before it broke into something a little more grounded: a smile touched with a cynical edge.

"...Hm...well, it's not like I could just let your brother throw himself back into danger without any back-up, could I? Or you, for that matter -- you're such a self-sacrificing little thing, I reckon you'd push Jacob right out of the way and chuck yourself in front of the Knight Bus itself, if it came to it -- "

"Shove off," said Carewyn, and Duncan cackled.

"Now then," said the ghost, and he became a bit more serious as he floated down as if to "sit" on the chair closest to her, pretending to prop his arms up on the back of the chair, "what you and Jae Kim were talking about the other day, about infiltrating one of R's meetings. I did some 'investigation' of my own, and I think your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor might have an allegiance you'll want to know about."

Carewyn raised her eyebrows. "Professor Meyers?"

"Yeah. Turns out that old Huxley thought being a professor at such an illustrious school would have a higher salary. Upon discovering, no, in fact, it doesn't, I reckon it was easy for R to sucker him in with the promise of a little extra scratch on the side, in exchange for information. I caught him using the Floo Network talking to someone who sounded suspiciously like that one R dosser who ordered Jacob come to Knockturn Alley, right before I died...asking how long he'd have to wait for his deposit, in exchange for intel on Dumbledore's most recent outing."

Carewyn's eyes flashed with righteous anger. "So that's how R has been able to keep such close watch on us."

"At least partially," agreed Duncan. "Remember, you've only had this bloke for a year...and probably will have him no more than that, if that myth about the Dark Arts job being cursed is true..."

Carewyn crossed her arms. "Well then, we'll definitely have to keep a close eye on Meyers in the future, so that he doesn't overhear anything he shouldn't..."

Her eyes then lit up with a bit of mischief.

"...Duncan, does Meyers have any inkling that we're onto him?"

"Nope," said Duncan with a smug smirk. "He knows who's your friend and who isn't, of course -- but I don't think he has any clue that you all have been investigating R. I'd hazard a guess that that thick plonker has no idea the Circle of Khanna even exists."

Carewyn's mouth spread into just as broad of a smirk as Duncan's.

"Then maybe we can use R's mole to help us get some information on them, as well," she said decisively. "Do you think you could keep an ear out, in case he has any more interesting 'fireside chats?'"

Duncan's smirk betrayed white teeth. "Hm, I'm sure I could. It's not like I have any classes to occupy my time. And hell -- what's the use of being able to float through walls and doors and not having to answer to the law or any of the Hogwarts teachers if you don't take advantage of it?"

Why Merula lied in Y7Ch27?

All right, so this question basically has two components:

1) Why I believe that Merula lied about joining R after the Sunken Vault?

2) What reasons she might have to lie about it?

In the recent chapter (Y7Ch27), we learnt that:

But if you ask me, I still think it’s actually pretty obvious that Merula was the mole at least since before the Sunken Vault, and the best evidence for that is her super suspicious behaviour at that time.

Y6Ch38:

Why she’s freaking out that MC does something she doesn’t know about? Because if she doesn’t know, she can’t report it to R.

Y6Ch40:

Why she literally forced us to take her to the Sunken Vault (and we, as players, had nothing to say about it)? Because she knew that otherwise, she’d have to face consequences from R for screwing up.

Y6Ch41:

Why she’s so upset about delays? I dunno, perhaps because she gave R the date already, and she’s afraid to tell them there are some complications.

I mean, if you have another explanation for Merula’s behaviour – hit me up. I’m serious. I’d love to hear about it because I didn’t come up with anything. Still, I’m not sure you can convince me, to be honest, and that’s because of how Merula’s meeting with Verucca went at the end of Y6. As a reminder:

Jam City is absolutely terrible when it comes to showing the passage of time, but let’s try to estimate how long it could’ve been between the Sunken Vault and the meeting in Knockturn Alley.

Y6Ch43: Right after the Vault, we met with Dumbledore to tell him what happened. Then, we met with Jacob to talk about his plans for the future. Then, we met with Moody to talk about the mole. Then, we met with Talbott who found the letter Ben wrote before the Portrait Vault. Finally, we met with the Circle of Khanna to inform them about our “victory”.

Y6Ch44: We spent the whole chapter planning the party. We talked with Madam Rosmerta, the Weasley twins, and the Weird Sisters. The chapter ends with the actual party.

Y6Ch45: We’re called by Mundungus to Knockturn Alley. We follow the tracks of the Dark Witch. The chapter ends with Merula’s meeting with Verucca.

I’m guessing that all above could’ve happened over… one week? Maybe two? So… we have two weeks of Merula doing something for R, right?

Then I’m sorry, but what the hell she’s talking about when she says: “I’ve done everything you asked”?! What you could’ve done in such a short period when literally nothing happened?!

And then, we have Verucca saying: “you have proven yourself worthy”… HOW?! How she could’ve proven herself worthy during two weeks?! And again, I’m sorry, but... most jobs have longer probation than that. And you want me to believe that evil secret organisation was like: “Oh, cool, that’s enough for us! You can join us!”.

No, I’m not buying it. Personally, I still believe Merula was the mole since the first year, but even if not, she had to be the mole at least in the Sunken Vault. THAT’S how she’s proven herself worthy. And that’s also why she lied that she was approached after the Vault: because she did SOMETHING in the Sunken Vault, and she doesn’t want MC to figure it out. Moreover, I imagine that it has to be really serious if she chose to say that she decided to join after Rowan’s death. Because here’s the thing: a much better lie was under Merula’s nose. Here, I’ll do it for you, Merula:

“R approached me after the Portrait Vault. They said Rakepick turned on them, and that they’ll help me get revenge on her. I didn’t know they’re planning to kill Rowan. I wanted to stop working for them after that, but they threatened me with serious consequences.”

Does it put Merula in a better light than joining after Rowan’s death? I’d say so. Ironically, it’s probably also closer to the truth. But it’d mean that she was involved with R while in the Sunken Vault, even if unwillingly, and it creates questions.

For example, did Merula know that Rakepick would appear in the Vault? I mean, it was a somewhat big deal that Rakepick somehow got through Barnaby’s watch. Did Merula purposefully instruct him to watch the wrong part of the Black Lake? Either way, it’s pretty bad if Merula knew about Rakepick and didn’t warn MC.

If Merula didn’t know about Rakepick (and I think that she didn’t know), it’s actually not great either. It’d confirm what I’m saying for a long time: that Merula would be a really shitty double agent, simply because R doesn’t tell her everything.

Also, Merula’s approach towards Rakepick in the Vault is quite interesting on its own. She basically wants to kill her, right? And it makes perfect sense because of her revenge and whatnot. Right? But look at what happens when you arrest Rakepick instead of trapping her. Merula still tries to kill Rakepick, Jacob stops her, and then we have this:

And yeah, it makes sense that if you hate someone’s guts to the point that you’re ready to kill them, you just want them to shut up. But don’t you think it’s a bit weird how quick Ben was to literally silence Rakepick? 

If you’re familiar with my other analysis, you might remember that I believe that Ben knows about Merula being the mole for quite some time. Funnily enough, it explains his behaviour here quite perfectly. Because if Rakepick is gagged, she can’t tell Merula is the mole. I mean, why wouldn’t she sell Merula out? She’s basically arrested already; she could at least create some drama. And I imagine that Merula was aware of this risk – so if she couldn’t kill Rakepick, she could at least try silencing her in a different way. 

Also, objectively speaking, gagging Rakepick was really stupid. They could’ve at least tried interrogating her instead, asking how she dealt with Barnaby… anything. I’m not saying Rakepick would be willing to cooperate, but still.

But even Rakepick aside, I’m pretty sure there’s something more about the Sunken Vault that Merula is hiding. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she pulled MC out of their vision? I theorised before that MC was supposed to break that curse by freeing themselves without any help – that might be the reason why we’re not done with the final Cursed Vault. But it’s also possible that R actually didn’t want MC to properly break that curse, for some reason. That’s why they told Merula to pull MC out. Maybe they even prepared her for that in advance, and that’s why it was fairly easy for her.

Either way, the point is that we didn’t learn shit from Merula in this chapter, and she’s still hiding some BIG secrets.

Remember when i said Talbott and Cereza werent over? Yeah.

I promised yall i would write a continuation of this. For those dont remember that happend, here

Anyways enjoy the fanfic!

Warning: none?? Its more just angst then fluff.(but sorry for my bad english and wording im not very good at writing and I wrote this on mobile)

It's been two months and few days since the big argument Talbott and Cereza had on the hospital wings.

This all happened because Cereza tried to do all the investigation and take down R by herself, but of course that plan failed and it backfired on her very badly. She fought the wizard in white and almost died because of it, losing her consciousness after he ran away, fortunately she was found by Moody who was searching for her after her twin brother said she went missing and was taken to the hospital wings.

She was scolded for it of course, and after that her friends went to visit her. All of her friends were worried for her, especially her twin brother Michael who jumped into her hugging her tight, crying, not realizing her whole body was in pain before he quickly let her go.

After a long chat with her friends and twin brother Talbott got in but he didn't look happy, he asked for everyone to leave him and Cereza alone because he wanted to talk to her, everyone left confused to what was going on.

Outside people could hear both Talbott and Cereza arguing with each other, Talbott was disappointed that Cereza lied to everyone including him about not having any information that could be useful for Circle ot Khanna and that she did is by herself he thought she was dead she could have died because of her reckless decision, Cereza tried to explain herself by saying she thought what she was doing was the right because she wanted to protect everyone which didn't make Talbott feel any less worse but the opposite. Both kept arguing with each other until Talbott storms out of hospital wings not looking at his friend's faces who were waiting outside, Penny tried to stop him but he just ignored her and walked away, once everyone back inside to the hospital they saw Cereza holding back her tears but she did a very job at it once everyone was inside and started crying.

----

Cereza rarely saw Talbott after what happened, she only saw him on the classes they shared but even then he didn't even talk to her, she decided to let it be not wanting to bother Talbott and she thought that this was the end of their relationship. This broke her alot, the happy girl that was always smiling and giggling all the time wasn't there anymore, not only she felt bad for what she did but she thought she lost one of the people she loved the most.

That was until Cereza got a letter in the morning, Andre gave it to her and said "It's from Talbott." She quickly opened the letter and read the paper that said:

"We need to talk. Meet me after dinner in the courtyard."

-Talbott

She thanked Andre for the letter who nodded and said "I hope everything works out for you guys." And left, Cereza also hoped that things would work out but she couldn't help but feel anxious about it. What did he want to talk about after dinner? Why did it have to wait?

"Does he want to end our relationship once and for all?" Cereza thought all day, Cereza knew how to be patient but this waiting was killing her.

During dinner she barely ate anything, Rowen(M!Rowan) was trying to make her eat something but she couldn't.

"You have to eat something, you can't sleep with an empty stomach." Said Rowen, worried for his best friend trying to make her eat. He knew about the letter, Cereza told him about it and he knew how nervous and anxious she was because of it.

"I can't, this wait is killing me.'' Cereza said anxiously.

She then looked around, noticing that Talbott wasn't at the ravenclaw table or at any table of the other houses.

"Did you see Talbott walk in?" Asked Cereza, still looking around, Rowen shook his head.

"No, I didn't, I don't think he is coming for dinner today." Rowen took a bite of his food as he said that.

"Why? Do you know about something??"

"No, no, but...Penny said she didn't see all day, he didn't go to any of his classes." Cereza felt her heart drop, this wasn't like him, he would NEVER miss any class, if there was something Talbott was proud of himself is that he was an excellent student.

"This isn't like him…" Whispered Cereza."I cant, i have to go."

"Wha- B-But dinner time isn't over yet!"

"I'm sorry Rowen, but I have to go."

"...Okay, good luck Cere!"

Cereza nodded and left the great hall running, she opened the big door to the corridor and rushed past the students to the courtyard.

As she got outside she looked around.

There he was, sitting on the tree trunk looking at the stars just like he would when he waited for her for their dates.. Cereza sighed with relief knowing that Talbott was okay...or was he?

She took a deep breath and walked toward him, stopping right before him.

"Hey…" Talbott jumped at hearing Cereza's voice, he was probably so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear her walk in.

"Oh, Sorry I didn't hear you coming in…" Said Talbott awkwardly.

"Its okay…"

"..."

"Penny said she didn't see you all day, you also didn't come for dinner as well."

"I felt sick all day and I wasn't hungry."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I hope you're better now."

Silence took over, the only sound they heard was the cold night wind, making things kinda awkward. Until Talbott coughed and said

"Sit here with me." He tapped right next to him, Cereza then climbed the tree trunk and sat right next to him.

Again, the awkward silence.

Cereza then looked at the sky, it was a pretty starry night, she could see some shooting stars.

" The night is beautiful tonight isn't it?" Asked Talbott, breaking the silence.

"Yeah. It is beautiful."

"It reminds me of when we used to have our dates here, you would make wishes for the shooting stars."

"Stupid wishes, I know." Cereza giggled at her own stupid self.

"I never thought they were stupid." Said Talbott.

"Even the one where I wished for a giant puffskein?"

Cereza shook her head smiling a little bit and she also noticed Talbott was smiling a little as well, she missed seeing him smile, but they weren't there to watch the stars.

"Hey, if that's your wish, who am i to judge?

"Talbott-"

"Yeah?"

"Listen, I-I know you said you wanted to talk to me in your letter, but I want to say something first." Said Cereza nervously, while staring at the floor.

"...Go ahead."

She took a deep breath and then looked at his warm striking hazel, who met her golden eyes. Then she finally said:

"...I'm sorry."

"...Wha-"

"I'm sorry for what I did, Talbott. It was very dumb of me try to all of that on my own and it was and it was insensitive and bad of me not to tell you guys the information I had about R."

"Cereza-"

"I should have trusted you all to defend yourselves without my help, I shouldn't have lied to you guys about not finding anything."

"Cereza listen-"

"I shouldn't have done that, I could have died and i didn't thought about how you, my family and the rest of our friends would feel about it if I died, you were right when you said things wouldn't get any better if I-"

"CEREZA!"

Cereza jumped at Talbott who raised his voice at her, he gripped her shoulders and made her look at him, his eyes staring at her but he didn't look angry he looked sad.

"Just...listen to me please."

Cereza nodded and whispered "sorry" and let him talk.

"Look...after what happened, i couldn't stop thinking about that night on hospital wings. That night kept playing in my head over and over every time I went to bed...I felt awful"

"Huh-"

"I felt awful, Cereza. After I calmed down I realized what I just did and how I shouldn't have talked to you that way, but it was too late, I was already at my dorm and I couldn't bring myself to come back."

"..."

"I was ashamed."

"Is that the reason why you were avoiding me?"

Talbott nodded, he took a deep breath as if was holding himself to not cry.

"I thought you hated me."

"..."

"So I avoided you and everyone else as well, it was painful."

"Tal I-"

"I should have thought of your feelings, how were you feeling that made you do all of that yourself."

"...You had all the rights to react the way you did, it was a stupid and dangerous decision that I made."

"But I still shouldn't have said those things to you."

"..."

"I let my emotions take over me, my heart dropped when I saw Moody carrying you to the hospital wings....blood all over you and you unconscious and i thought i lost you..."

"..."

"When i heard you were alive, I was so happy and relieved...but when i heard about why you did that when I heard Michael talking to Moody I...I dont know what came over me, i was angry and disappointed"

"...I know-"

"Not only on you, but mostly on myself"

"..W-why? Why were you angry at yourself??"

"Because I thought I failed you, I couldn't protect you, I couldn't be there for you."

"But it wasn't your fault-"

"Let me finish..."

"..."

"But that doesn't excuse what I did, i didnt think about what you were feeling, how you were feeling. Your feelings that made you do this and your feelings after it...I called you selfish but I was even more selfish…"

"Tal…"

Cereza's hand went to Talbott's cheek, who jumped at her touch but then rested his face on her hand holding her hand even more close to his face. He closed his eyes while he felt her warmth on his skin again after so long.

"I'm sorry Cereza, I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry for everything."

"I forgive you."

Talbott's eyes quickly opened as he looked at her, he was surprised but it also looked like a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders. She continued:

"But...do you forgive me as well?"

"Of course I do."

Cereza also felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders as well, she smiled as she felt tears run down her face and she had to take off her glasses to clean it.

"I-I thought...I thought you called me to end everything between us." Said Cereza as she cried while she tried to clean her tears off her face. She was shaking a little and her breath was also shaky.

"I would never do that." He whispered. "If anything, I was more afraid of you wanting to break up with me."

Talbott got closer to her and hugged tight on to his body, catching her by surprise.

Cereza returned the tight hug, smiling while tears rolled down her face, Talbott also had tears rolling down his face who tried to hide by hiding his face on her shoulder but his shaky breath and the way he sniffed quietly gave it away he was crying. Cereza's hand went to Talbott's hair and was caressing his hair.

"I thought I was going to lose you." Whispered Talbott, not wanting to let her go.

"I thought the same thing…" Cereza whispered back, kissing his head.

Both of them stopped hugging each other as they cleaned their faces but still kept close, Talbott's hand travelled to Cereza's face and caressed her cheek, his hand was cold as always but Cereza never cared about that, she liked his touch.

They both stared at each other, they both knew it was awkward the way they stared at each other but they did not care, their gazes were filled with intense love.

Talbott kept his hand on Cereza's cheek and kissed her other cheek gently but his face didn't move away, in fact he kept face very close to hers moving only a little to her lips, their noses were touching each other and they could feel their heavy breaths, Cereza closed her eyes as she felt her heartbeat go very fast and her face was red, Talbott heart also felt like it was going to jump from his mouth and even his ears were dark red. He brushed his nose on to hers but then kissed her nose, he caressed her cheek once more smiling, Cereza then opened her eyes and saw his smile and smiled back at him. Both of them giving loving smiles at each other.

"I love you." Said Talbott.

Cereza's hand went to Talbott's face and to his cheek as well, as she sighed and smiled again.

"I love you too, meu amor.'

Talbott's smile grew as he heard again the loving way Cereza called him using her first language, while they didn't have their first kiss yet what matters is that they were both together again.

"Just promise to me that you will be more careful." Said Talbott.

Cereza nodded.

"I will...but, do you promise to never leave my side?" Asked Cereza, Talbott chuckled and said:

"I promise, my sunshine."

Okay, for once I actually like the polyjuice plotline despite the fact it's taking too long.

But when did MC become this stupid?

Like girl, HOW didn't you think of that??? It was stupid enough to talk in the open of Knockturn Alley with Jae, I was surprised nobody attacked us.

But like, all of our friends know about the Polyjuice and what for? The only ones who needed to know were Penny, Tonks, and Jae - then later Talbott -, why tell Merula? Why tell Ben? Why tell the freaking Twins? Why consult Andre so soon then in front of everybody? In the presence of Alanza who is not famous for being very quiet.

You'll be walking into the lion's den, this is not a plan to be treated lightly!!! Nor talked about to the four winds!!! Very discreet going around Hogwarts asking every living soul about Rakepick...

Then she answers she hadn't thought about that!!!!!! HOW???? That's like the first thought you should've had!!!

Even if she isn't there. What if she ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE?? WHAT IF THERE'S SOMEONE ANGRY AT RAKEPICK? SOMEONE WILLING TO FIGHT? AND IF THEY'RE WILLING TO FIGHT IT'S BECAUSE THEIR ABILITIES ARE ON PAR WITH RAKEPICK'S. Which ours aren't!!! WHAT IF SOMEBODY ASKS SOMETHING SHE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW???

Why are we consulting Jacob??? He is your brother and 'protecting' you. But we had the clear option to doubt his intentions last time we met, HE TOLD US HE HAD WORKED WITH RAKEPICK and we're still not certain where his allegiance lies at! We don't even know if R still has power over him.

Fine let's supposed she can't be spotted in public, even tho Knockturn alley isn't famous for being well frequented, what if SHE IS there ALSO disguised???? SHE COULD EASILY KILL US, OUR FORM WOULDN'T CHANGE DUE TO THE POLYJUICE AND SHE'S FREE, "RAKEPICK" IS DEAD.

I really like this plan, the thing is missing is somebody with two brain cells aka Rowan Khanna.

Background:

Rosemary was born in Madrid during a Christmas trip her family took to see her mother’s side of the family. The Woodward family stayed in Madrid until the new year before returning to their home in west Kent.  

She and her family visited Spain mostly every summer until Jacob went missing, and Cristina would go alone to Spain while Rosemary stayed with her father.

Jacob came home for a few weeks after being expelled from Hogwarts, and went missing in the night from their house a fortnight later. Their parents found Rosemary curled up in Jacob’s empty bed the following morning.

Rosemary wasn’t very popular at Hogwarts aside from her friends for her first four years. Always running around the castle looking for Jacob, Rosemary didn’t involve herself much in clubs or sports. Once she found Jacob in her fifth year, she started to loosen up and expand her extracurriculars. She joined the Ancient Runes club with Rowan, the Frog Choir, and started enjoying Quidditch more.

After Rowan died, Rosemary shut down due to grief for the rest of the year, retreating even from her own friends. She was a shadow of herself, mostly just focused on revenge against Rakepick. Rosemary almost left Hogwarts at the end of her sixth year, but Charlie Weasley convinced her to stay just like she had convinced him earlier that year.

Rosemary healed throughout her seventh year, trying to live life the way Rowan would have wanted her two. She still had nightmares and flashbacks to what happened in the Forbidden Forest, but she and her friends helped each other get through it.

After defeating R and avenging Rowan’s death, Jacob had an official hearing with the Ministry and was allowed to keep his wand. He asked Rosemary to start a freelance Curse-Breaking business with him, which she accepted.

Charlie and Rosemary started dating quietly in the last few weeks of seventh year. He was set to take a job in Wales at a Dragon research center in the Welsh mountain side, but something happened suddenly at the end of summer that made him take a job in Romania instead and break things off with Rosemary.

The begins in June of 1993, and Rosemary is two years out of Hogwarts. She travels the world with Jacob and she hasn’t spoken to Charlie for almost two years.

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Do you think you’ll still develop Fiore as an OC even if it’s looking more & more likely in canon that R*kepick isn’t actually a mother after all?

Oh, I definitely could! Rakepick being a mother, and having a child...that theory, and the whole concept of Fiore were always connected, but if it had turned out to be true, then Rakepick’s child would have undoubtedly gotten a name and perhaps even been introduced, depending on if they were still alive or not. And while it’s not technically, officially debunked or anything, (Said child could still turn up later on in Year 7, after all) you’re right that it’s seeming less and less like the motherhood theory is dead. I guess Rakepick’s Patronus really was as simple as her being a Gryffindor and a ferocious predator. And it being a Lioness instead of a Lion may have just been as simple as her Patronus matching her gender. I dunno, the symbolism just made me very curious, because a mother’s love has historically been a significant motif in this universe. On the other hand, another motif is the idea that if you can love, you are redeemable. Nothing about Rakepick at present suggests that she has that capacity. And Rowan’s body is still cold, so unless the game finds a way to undo that, there’s no redemption for Rakepick anymore. 

All that said, Fiore is a clean slate and an innocent one at that. After all, blood means nothing. That is, it means something, but it doesn’t say a damn thing about who she is. And I’m excited to develop this character, the daughter of HPHM’s Benedict Arnold. Who can trace ancestry to R, who may or may not have been their captive at one point. She’s like Sirius, growing up among Dark Wizards, but even more of a cinnamon roll. She’ll be like Delphi Diggory, except I’m going to try and have her actually make sense. Much like my theory that MC’s family is in R, Fiore’s existence and her nature, her backstory...all of these are rather dependent on how the game turns out, how the story itself ends. I’ve got some fun facts about Fiore, though, so let’s get to them! 

Fiore has something called Situs Inversus. A rare congenital condition that basically means all of your internal organs are mirrored. Your heart is on the right side, etc. This is a real thing, by the way. Just extremely rare. Fiore is “right-hearted.” 

Adding onto that, I picture her having a crooked scar on her chest where an R agent tried to kill her by shooting some curse through her heart - not realizing, of course, that they’d gotten the wrong side, and this was why she survived. 

I’ve talked about this before but assuming Rowan’s brother is younger, that they are in fact Ashok Khanna, then I like to interpret the two of them becoming best friends. Because despite the awkward context, it’s not Fiore’s fault that her mother killed his sibling. 

She would very much honor the Prankster Pantheon, living up to the legacy of folks like the Marauders, like Tulip and Tonks. Given that she’d be about the right age to overlap with them, I also see her becoming good friends with the Weasley twins. 

She knows how to walk the walk, and talk the talk, so to speak, when it comes to dealing with Dark Witches and Wizards. She doesn’t have dealings with them the way that Jae does, but her mother’s connections result in several shady figures having been like aunts and uncles to her. Many of whom remain loyal throughout the years, though it’s always a nasty surprise when one of them doesn’t/ 

Basically, Fiore is fearless. I’ve considered putting her in Gryffindor, as well as Ravenclaw. I feel like she’s got the kind of “evil genius” type of behavior that would do well in Ravenclaw. Actually, yeah. Plus I could see her arguing with the knocker. If that weren’t enough, I imagine Ashok going to Ravenclaw, and she’d want to hang out with him. But being in different Houses also wouldn’t stop her. 

Nah, the more I think about it, Ravenclaw is the way to go. Because I also see her playing Quidditch, being friends with Cho Chang, and ultimately becoming a Beater. Which she can’t do if she’s in Gryffindor, those spots are filled. 

Like Fred and George, she attempts to put her name in the Goblet of Fire. She does succeed in getting past the age line and gloats about it for a whole day before waking up with gray hair. Oh how the turn tables. 

Considering that R apparently studies Wandless Magic, I wonder how Fiore might do with that. If it might be something she’d be good at. If it was, I’m going to add the drawback that she sucks at magic that actually uses wands, they always hold her back. If she does have her own wand though, I’m gonna say it has a Phoenix core. 

I picture Fiore having a side-ponytail, something she just does out of habit, oblivious to how weird it looks, or just plain not caring. 

Fiore has always wanted an Owl, more than anything. But the tragedy is that she’s actually very much allergic to them. To the point that she cannot visit the Owlery without sneezing and/or getting hives. Her friends have to take her letters for her. Eventually, I see her getting a Falcon or something cool like that. 

Fiore is a laughably bad student, especially for a Ravenclaw, but she does manage to come up with some creative new ideas. It’s more like she just doesn’t respond well to the traditional, educational environment. I picture her failing to brew the potion of the day, but instead inventing her own. One that actually might have merit if it was studied and polished up, but too bad Snape angrily vanished it and gave her a zero. 

This naturally results in her failing her O.W.L.s, much to the dismay of Ashok, but she doesn’t care. She’s a drifter anyway. After Hogwarts, I see her working for Fred and George for a while. Maybe she had a huge crush on Verity. But eventually she leaves to travel the world after the war ends.

Residence: North Devon, England. Was born in County Kerry, Ireland and lived there until she was ten years old.

Myer Briggs Personality Type: ISFJ- The Defender

THE MAGE

1st Wand: Acacia Wood

A very unusual wand wood, which I have found creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but those most gifted. This sensitivity renders them difficult to place, and I keep only a small stock for those witches or wizards of sufficient subtlety, for acacia is not suited to what is commonly known as ‘bangs-and-smells’ magic. When well-matched, an acacia wand matches any for power, though it is often underrated due to the peculiarity of its temperament.

2nd Wand: Silver Lime

The reasons for these wands’ desirability lay not only in their unusually handsome appearance, but also because they had a reputation for performing best for Seers and those skilled in Legilimency, mysterious arts both, which consequently gave the possessor of a silver lime wand considerable status. When demand was at its height, wandmaker Arturo Cephalopos claimed that the association between silver lime and clairvoyance was ‘a falsehood circulated by merchants like Gerbold Ollivander (my own grandfather), who have overstocked their workshops with silver lime and hope to shift their surplus’. But Cephalopos was a slipshod wandmaker and an ignoramus, and nobody, Seer or not, was surprised when he went out of business.

Mirror of Erised: Depends. As a child and 1-5th year its her family together again. Later its herself, secure in her relationships with those that love her and not needing the ones that don't.

PERSONALITY:

- Good at thinking on her feet but is generally bad at planning. Better in the moment.

- Stubborn and overly blunt.

- Good at putting herself in others shoes, even if she doesn’t like them.

- Gets frustrated with her physical inability very easily. 

- Is a bit of a smart aleck and is very sarcastic.

- Blames herself for everything that happens after the first vault is opened.

- Teaches herself new things all the time and learns by doing.

- A hard worker and tends to be a workaholic. Like so:

- Well aware of her limits. Can and will ignore them.

- Brave. Isn’t afraid of anyone or anything even when she should be.

MISC

- Is closest to her older sisters and Bryn

- Originally wanted to be a Herbologist (Since Magizoologist and Keeper for the Holyhead Harpies were both out of reach due to her epilepsy) but fell in love with Commentating. Decided to do Herbology after she either retired from commentating or got sick of it, whichever came first.

- Jacob calls her Pip or Mouth depending on his mood. Fiadah calls her half pint. Rubin and Wren call her Redbird. 

- Wasn’t allowed to have her own pet growing up. Her Grandma (who lived with them up until her death in Hecate’s Seventh Year) had a pet spider named Shelob that HATED children and would often terrorize Danny, Sean, and Hecate.

- Adopted as many pets as she could when she got to Hogwarts, because her mother made the mistake of telling her she could have as many animals as she wanted once she got to school.

- Hecate’s great-grandmother invented the Epilambanein Potion specifically for the Ames family, as seizures after waking visions had been quite common for centuries.

- Hecate’s waking visions are terrifying and usually end in an epileptic  fit. Additionally, she often has nightmares. Fortunately, those do not end in a seizure.

- Pangur Ban can sense when Hecate is about to seize/have a vision and alerts her so she can take the potion.

- Joined Frog Choir because she thought there would be frogs. Merula teases her about it mercilessly.

Common AU - Luna Silver and Candy Vigiere

I made a summary of the common AU (here’s the original thread)

Candy and Paula belongs to @immagrosscandy

So here’s what we’ve come up with so far:

Candy and Luna are both in Ravenclaw and in the same year, so they’re roommates as well.

The Khanna twins - Rowan and Rowana. Rowan is Luna’s best friend and Rowana is Candy’s best friend. (Also, I guess Rowana is their roommate too. Let's put a pin in it, because I have another thing to say about the roommates situation.)

Candy will end up with Talbott, Paula with Barnaby and Luna with whoever (depends on the year) 

Both Khanna twins have a crush on Bill (Damn, awkward.)

Jacob (Luna's Jacob), Judas (Candy's Jacob) and Duncan were a trio (instead of Olivia Green). Both Judas and Jacobs liked Duncan, but eventually Jacob got the guy. Judas and Duncan got involved with R (Jacob wasn’t involved), and Judas hoped that by that Duncan would fall for him instead and leave Jacob. (Oh, we need to decide if they were in the same year or not.)

And Finally - when Luna and Candy are in their 7th year and Paula in her 6th, Olivia will start her 1st year - so they’ll all go to Hogwarts at the same time for one year.

And that's it for now. I'm already way to invested in this AU.

------

Oh, wait! The roommates thing.

As you know, Luna has many (many) pets, so Candy and Rowana would have to deal with it, and it's not as easy as it sounds.

Candy: Oh wow, you weren't joking.

Tulip: Welcome to hell.

The July Ball (pt 3)

[Part 1] [Part 2] [ Featuring Tessa & Gracie Chiva from @danceworshipper , Sydney Phoenix from @hufflepuffs-honor , & Henri & Genevieve Rys from @daniella-gisele-rys.]

Part 3: Dinner & Dancing

“So, I think we should go around and introduce ourselves. Say our name and house,” Sara said, breaking the silence. “I’ll start. I’m Sara O’Donnell and I’m in Hufflepuff. As all of you are sure to know, I’m a quadruplet.” 

“Alright, alright. I’m Cara O’Donnell and I’m in Slytherin. I’m Sara’s older sister.” Cara smirked at her sister. 

“By twenty-one minutes! Plus we’re all older than Conor!” 

“H-h-hey!” Conor exclaimed. 

“Anyways! Who wants to go next?” 

“I’ll go. I’m Sydney Phoenix and I’m in Hufflepuff with Sara,” the dark haired girl waved at the group from her spot next to Ryan. 

“I’m Genevieve Rys and I’m in Ravenclaw with my twin brother,” another girl with dark hair said. 

“I’m Henri, Genevieve's twin brother and I’m also in Ravenclaw,” the dark haired boy said. 

“I’m Ryan O’Donnell and I’m in Gryffindor. I’m the oldest!” Ryan said, placing all his emphasis on the word “oldest.” Conor leaned over and flicked Ryan on the ear. Ryan retaliated and very quickly, the two brothers were flicking one another. 

“My god! Can you two go ten minutes without attacking each other?” Sara demanded glaring at her brothers. 

“Uh, I’m Barnaby Lee and I’m also in Slytherin,” the boy interrupted before the three siblings could start in on full fledged bickering. 

“I’m Tessa Chiva and I’m in Slytherin as well,” a third girl with dark hair said. 

“I’m Gracie Chiva. I’m Tessa’s twin sister and in Slytherin, too,” the white haired girl said. 

“I’m Conor O’Donnell. I’m in R-R-R-Ravenclaw,” Conor said, trying to ignore the heat that was making its way up his cheeks. 

There was a lengthy swell of awkward silence before food started to appear on their plates. There was roast chicken, mashed potatoes, slabs of beef, green beans, mac n’ cheese, and, in the center of the table, a large bowl filled with rolls. The kids filled their plates and let the sounds of forks and knives fill the silence.

“Suck it!” Ryan exclaimed, smacking Conor’s hand away from the rolls on his plate. 

“No way, you suck it!” Conor snapped back, reaching a second time to steal a roll, only to get smacked again. 

“Three, two, one! Suck it!” the two boys exclaimed in unison, glaring at one another before dissolving into a whisper argument, where the phrase “suck it” could be heard every three words. 

The six occupants of the table who were not acquainted with Ryan’s and Conor’s behavior stared at them. “Are they always like this?” Gracie asked. 

“Yeah,” Sara answered. Cara smirked and added, “You’re just lucky they didn’t decide to sing it. I can’t tell you how often we have to deal with those two dumbasses yelling or singing ‘suck it’ at one another.” 

“Wow. I think I’m glad I only have one brother if that’s how brothers act,” Sydney said. 

“I think it’s only because we’re all the same age. I’ve never seen another set of brothers act like those two,” Cara said. 

“Ry, Con, knock it off. Oh, and Conor, just take a roll from the bowl, not Ryan’s plate,” Sara exclaimed, exasperatedly. 

“He’s j-just h-hoarding them!” Conor snapped, glaring at his brother. 

“Am not! There are plenty left!” Ryan snapped back.

“Guys! Uncle Doyle,” Cara hissed, effectively ending any further argument on the issue of rolls and whether Ryan was hoarding them or not. 

They fell into another awkward silence. 

“So, uh, why did your uncle look at my step-mom so weirdly?” Sydney asked, breaking the silence. 

“Oh. Is she muggleborn?” Ryan asked. 

“Yeah.”

“That’s why. Our dad is a ‘filthy mudblood.’” 

“He’s like my parents,” Barnaby said. 

“If by that you mean a jackass, then yes,” Ryan said, earning an elbow to the gut from Conor this time.

“Let me apologize for my brother, Barnaby. He doesn’t think before he speaks,” Sara said, offering the Slytherin boy a shy smile as Ryan faked a hurt gasp. 

“It’s okay. He’s not wrong.” Barnaby returned Sara’s smile, his cheeks turning an unnoticed pink. 

Once dinner had finished, gentle, orchestral music began to fill the ballroom. The adults began to pair off and soon, the ballroom was filled with dancing couples. The kids stood up and moved to the wall, as the tables began to move themselves out of the way. They looked at one another uncomfortably, none quite sure what they should do. 

“Uncle Doyle sh-sh-should have ch-chosen The Who,” Conor muttered under his breath. 

“He wouldn’t touch The Who with a fifty foot pole for two reasons, Con. Firstly, it’s not dancing music,” Cara said. 

“Y-y-you could dance to ‘Bargain’ or ‘Love Ain’t For Keeping.’” 

“Sure you could, Con. Secondly, and most importantly, The Who are a muggle band. Uncle Doyle despises anything muggle-related.” 

“Well, we should probably get on with dancing,” Ryan said interrupting his siblings. 

The kids awkwardly paired off and quietly made their way onto the dance floor. Ryan locked his hands together as his arms wound around Sydney’s neck. The two kids swayed together, with Ryan leading the best he could. 

“So. What are you looking forward to next year?” Sydney asked. 

“Uh. Care of Magical Creatures sounds fun,” Ryan said. 

“Yeah, I think that class will be really fun, too. I love creatures and animals.”

“Yeah, they’re alright. I really like my toad, Lir. Plus, the four of us share a cat, Duchess, and an owl, Archimedes.” 

“Why’d you choose those names?”

“Lir’s a sea god in Irish mythology, but he’s also a king, whose kids were turned into swans. Duchess is from The Aristocats while Archimedes is from The Sword in The Stone. They’re muggle movies.” 

“Ah.”

Meanwhile, Conor was awkwardly dancing with Tessa. Ninety-nine percent of the boy’s concentration was on his feet. He did not want to step on Tessa’s feet. He also had no sense of timing which made it hard to do anything fancier than swaying. 

“Do you like quidditch?” Tessa asked, and Conor looked up from his feet, frowning. 

“Huh?” His cheeks felt warm, but at least this time it wasn’t because of his stammer. 

“Do you like quidditch?” 

“Oh. Y-yeah. I play s-s-s-seeker.” His cheeks burned even more. 

“I play chaser. Are you on your house team?”

“Y-yes. After R-R-R-Ryker got h-hurt and quit. Ryan and Cara both play ch-chaser.” 

“What team do you support?” 

“Oh, we s-support the Kenmare Kestrels and the Ballycastle Bats.” 

“You support two teams? Most people only support one.”

“Well, the Bats and Kestrels are the only Irish teams. The Bats are N-n-northern Ireland, which is the UK. The K-kestrels are the R-r-republic. Mum’s mum was from Northern Ireland, while the m-majority of the f-f-family is from the R-r-r-republic.” 

“Wow. You’ve really thought about it.” 

“Eh. Not r-r-really.” 

Meanwhile, Cara had forgone all traditional ideas and had ended up dancing with Gracie. At least, after she had danced with Henri, where the two had also discussed quidditch and classes for the next year. 

“Why didn’t you stare at me like I had two heads?” Gracie asked after a few moments of silence. 

“Well, we’re used to getting stares all the time. We are quadruplets, and Conor stammers. I figured that you wouldn’t want to be stared at. I know I hate it when we get stared at,” Cara answered. 

“Oh. I’ve seen you around the common room and in classes, but nowhere else.” 

“I’m usually hanging out with Ryan, Sara, Conor, Ash and Rowan Khanna, Ben Copper, Penny Haywood, and the two Weasley boys after classes.”

“Oh. So you don’t spend much time in the common room?”

“Nah. Although, Sara will probably pester me to get to know Barnaby better.” 

“He’s not the brightest, but he does have a kind heart.”

“Yeah, he can’t be too bad if Sara likes him. Then again, I’m not sure how many people Hufflepuffs instantly dislike.”

“They are probably the most likely to give people a chance.”

The two girls grinned and kept dancing. 

Meanwhile, Sara found herself with her arms wrapped around Barnaby’s neck. There was something thrilling about being so close to a cute boy. They swayed gently to the music, neither having danced much before. 

“I’m sorry if I step on your toes,” Barnaby said. 

“I’m sorry if I step on your toes, too,” Sara replied 

“Doyle, I don’t know why you invited mudbloods,” a woman said suddenly, her voice carrying throughout the whole ballroom.  

Barnaby groaned, his eyes sliding shut. “That’s my mother.” 

“Come dear, it’s well known that many pure-bloods must interbreed with the less clean. That includes you, Doyle,” a male voice added. 

“My father,” Barnaby groaned again. 

“Yes, I’m aware of my blood status, Lyra, Cygnus.” Doyle’s voice was very intense and nearly every person in the ballroom had frozen. 

“Yes, well, we do all remember that your father had been disowned and only gained this manor because your grandfather was arrested,” Cygnus Lee said. 

“There was no solid evidence that Tadhg Lynch was murdered by my grandfather,” Doyle replied, his voice infused with venom. 

While the loud conversation had started, the ten kids had all drifted back to the chairs against the wall. As it grew more heated, a couple appeared and beckoned Sydney to come with them. The girl waved at the other kids and said, “It was nice to meet you. Hopefully we’ll see more of each other.” It wasn’t long before the Rys twins joined their parents in leaving. It appeared that the loud conversation about “mudbloods” had cleared out nearly half the guests. 

“Well, not everyone can be a part of the sacred twenty-eight,” Doyle snapped. 

“Well, we don’t have any mudbloods in our recent heritage. Your mother was one as was your brother-in-law,” Cygnus said. 

Cara groaned and sighed. “This is why Slytherin has such a bad reputation.” 

“Yep,” Gracie agreed, as both Tessa and Barnaby nodded. The seven remaining kids sighed and listened to the heated debate about blood status. 

“Is he going to hex someone?” Ryan asked, his leg bouncing. 

“My parents may,” Barnaby muttered.

“I hope not,” Sara said. 

“Wait. Did we know that our great-grandfather was arrested for killing his own brother?” Ryan asked. 

“N-no,” Conor answered. 

“Damn. Mum’s side is messed up.” 

“Not as messed as our mother’s side. She’s a Black,” Gracie offered. 

“Yeah, we’ve got Cain and Abel though.”

“Who?” 

“Cain and Abel are from a muggle religion, Christianity. Basically, one brother murdered the other.” 

“Oh.” 

The kids fell back into silence, only interrupting to have a few odd chats here and there. 

“Girls, we’re leaving now,” the paranoid man from before said to the Chiva twins.

“It was nice to meet you guys. Maybe we’ll see you around Hogwarts,” Gracie said, before she and Tessa waved and followed their parents out of the ballroom. 

It was nearing eleven when Doyle finally allowed the quadruplets to head off to bed. Most of the guests had left by then, and all four siblings were dead on their feet 

Ryan grinned, his arms draped over Conor’s and Sara’s shoulders. “Well, at least Uncle Doyle won’t hex us.” 

“That’s ‘cause he was too busy trying to impress all those rich and powerful dudes to notice our bickering,” Cara said, rolling her eyes. 

“Well, he still won’t hex us.”

sunrise

“It’s even more beautiful than I imagined.”

Alanza’s eyes were wide as she looked out at the sunrise over the Black Lake, lights dancing over the rippling surface of the water like sequins on a dress. Clara only smiled and nodded at her words, humming in content.

“Yeah. It is.”

The two girls spread a large blue blanket beneath them and sat down, wrapping their school robes over themselves to keep warm. The air was still chilly, the night winds nipping lightly at their cheeks, but their smiles were just as bright as the first rays of sun that beheld their vision. It was a rare opportunity to see the sunrise over the lake right on the shore, especially when most students would rather take this time to sleep in until breakfast called their name. The peace and calm of the atmosphere draped over them like a light veil, obscuring most of the past as they drank in every second of the present.

"I'll have to say, this is probably my favourite place at Hogwarts," Alanza finally said after a few moments of comfortable silence. "You rarely get the chance to revel in such a vast open space where you can reach every possibility if you tried. Of course, any area can be vast and open if you think of it to be. In Castelobruxo, though, we don't have many wide vast spaces like this."

"It can't be that hard to see a sunrise in Brazil, though," Clara pointed out quietly.

"Oh, it isn't, but with so many things in front of you, the sun feels so far away," Alanza said. "But here, it's like you're up close and personal with everything going on in the sky. If I could grab a broom right now and fly right through the skies, I'd be content."

To this, Clara gave a light laugh--a genuine happy laugh, one she had not given since the incident. "It would feel like you'd be a part of something bigger indeed."

"And to think that you can just reach up and touch the clouds and the first rays of light every day if you had the chance. That would be splendid, don't you think? A real brilliant way to start every day."

All Clara could do was nod, smiling encouragingly at Alanza. She'd grown very used to her talking by now, she didn't mind in the slightest that she was taking over most of the conversation.

"One of my friends, Chiara...when we became friends, she gave me a photo of a sunrise at Hogwarts," Clara recalled fondly now. "It was passed through quite a few hands, but all for the same reason: to remind ourselves that no matter how bad the night gets, the morning will always come. That no matter how bad the past could be, there's always a tomorrow to look forward to. But not everyone gets to even live to tomorrow..."

She trailed off, eyes lingering on the sunrise as tears began to brim in her eyes again, burning as they blurred her vision.

"I really wish I got the chance to know Rowan," Alanza murmured. "She sounded like a wonderful friend."

"A friend, a helper, and...someone who made a difference in everyone's lives," Clara agreed. "Rowan and I went much farther than that, though. We met in Diagon Alley before we started at Hogwarts. Only a bit later in our first year did I think to call us 'tree twins'."

"Tree twins? Why's that?"

"Rowan used to grow up on a tree farm with her family. And my last name in Chinese actually means 'forest'."

"Wow. I have no idea!"

"Mhmm. Every moment with Rowan was always so truly special since then. We shared such a close bond."

And as Clara reminisced over Rowan with Alanza, and as the other girl listened intently, the sun began to bedazzle them as it slowly inched its way higher up through the sky, the warm scarlet tones now turning into a brilliant yellow hue. The higher the sun rose, the lighter Clara's heart felt as bit by bit she shared her memories with Alanza, reliving her happy carefree past where everything wasn't so complicated.

"You know you can always count on me too, if something goes wrong?" Clara finally asked. "I mean, I know Dumbledore assigned me as your tour guide and to help you get settled down, but if there's anything you want to talk about, I'm all ears."

"Me too," Alanza reassured her. "After all, you did tell me about the Circle of Khanna. Now I know of the legacy that inspired the name. She'll be so proud of you going through life one sunrise at a time."

"I'm just happy that you're here to share this sunrise with me, Alanza," Clara finally said with a grin. "And with it, a fresh beginning to a new day and a mew friendship."

One day, R would get what's coming for them. But for now, she was ready to heal and be, with Alanza by her side.

[carewyncromwell]

[Within an hour, Carewyn had settled down with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, and Percy at their table. As always, Carewyn found herself engaged in loud, raucous conversation -- the sort she would’ve never found at home with her mother and Jacob as a child, but which was as warm and comfortable as the roaring fireplace next to them. It’d been a while since Carewyn had heard Bill and Charlie laugh so much, and it pleased her so much to hear it, after what had gone down just a few days prior.]

I want it to stay like this forever. Everyone happy, and safe, and together...

Charlie: “Reckon since I’ll be the oldest brother at school now, I’ll have to look after Percy and the twins in your stead, Bill!”

Percy: “(his nose wrinkling) You, looking after me? That seems unlikely.”

[Carewyn couldn’t find back a giggle too.]

“Oh come on, Percy, give Charlie some credit. He and I both got made Prefects, didn’t we?”

Percy: “(mutters) I still don’t understand how you did  -- you’ve both broken plenty of rules...”

[His parents clearly hadn’t heard Percy, as Mrs. Weasley cut him off at that point, dabbing at her eye with a handkerchief.]

Mrs. Weasley: “Oh, Arthur, I just can’t believe it -- our oldest son, a Hogwarts graduate!”

[Bill flushed in visible embarrassment, even as he tried uncomfortably to soothe his mother.]

[Mr. Weasley patted his wife’s shoulder comfortingly as he turned to Charlie with a smile.]

Mr. Weasley: “I gotta say, you did a fine job putting this party together for your brother, Charlie.”

[Charlie smiled broadly, his eyes sliding from his father to over at Carewyn.]

“Yeah, but you made it happen, Charlie. You deserve most of the credit.”

Charlie: “Come off it!”

Bill: “(amused) You deserve at least half the credit for keeping me preoccupied while Charlie got all this ready for me, Carey.”

[Mrs. Weasley’s face resembled a proud red sunset as she beamed at Carewyn.]

Mr. Weasley: “Too right! We’re quite the squad ourselves -- got enough kids to start our own Quidditch team...”

Charlie: “(eagerly) Can we? We could call ourselves the Weasley Dragons!”

Percy: “(stiffly) I think I’ll be too busy with homework -- but I’ll cheer you on.”

Bill: “(laughing) And I imagine I’ll be a bit too busy working at Gringotts to play Quidditch...”

[Carewyn giggled softly.]

“If you need alternates for Percy and Bill, Charlie, maybe Andre and I could jump in?”

[Charlie’s brown eyes lit up and he flat-out reached across Bill to snatch hold of Carewyn’s hand in a static, masculine handshake.]

Charlie: “Aw YEAH! Then we could all actually play on the same team! Now we just gotta figure out positions -- I’d be Seeker, obviously, and I guess you’d want to be Chaser, Carey -- ”

Bill: “I reckon Andre might fight you for the Seeker position, Charlie. Ginny too, for that matter.”

[Even though Carewyn hurried to cover her mouth with her free hand, she couldn’t stop herself from bursting out into full laughter.]

[Still giggling lowly to herself, Carewyn pushed her chair back and got up, strolling across the room to head up to the bar to fetch some more drinks.

She was stopped half-way there, however, when a man abruptly materialized in front of her.]

[He was by far the strangest looking wizard Carewn had ever seen. He had broad shoulders and a weary face, but one of his legs was replaced with a wooden prosthetic and one of his eyes was replaced by a large, bright blue glass eye strapped to his head, which swiveled its gaze around the room of its own accord.]

[Carewyn’s eyebrows knit together tightly over her eyes.]

“‘Back?’ Where -- ?”

[Before Carewyn could finish, however, Moody had already moved forward and seized her arm. Carewyn's vision contorted and distorted as her body was scrunched up and twisted like a dish rag -- ]

[And just like that, in a manic flurry of color, the two abruptly Disapparated from the room.]

Rowan: “Carewyn!?”

Bill and Andre: “Carewyn?”

Charlie, Penny, and Barnaby: “Carewyn!”

[Just about all of Carewyn’s friends had bolted to their feet, and Rowan had dashed to the spot where Carewyn had been standing -- but it was too late. Both Carewyn and Moody were gone.]

~*~

[Hours later, Rowan Khanna sat alone at the bar at the Three Broomsticks. All of the other people had already left for the graduation ceremony, but Rowan had stubbornly decided to stay behind and wait for Carewyn. Madame Rosmerta, who looked just as worried herself, had very kindly gotten Rowan a butterbeer to drink while she was waiting.]

[At long last, Madame Rosmerta looked up as someone entered the room.]

Rosmerta: “Carewyn! Oh, thank goodness...”

[Rowan immediately whirled around, leaping off her stool and running over to her friend.]

[Carewyn frowned, her eyes drifting off toward the ceiling almost cynically.]

“The man -- Alastor Moody -- he had some questions about Jacob...I guess he heard about what happened in the Cursed Vault and wanted more details. Once he finally figured out that I’d told Dumbledore everything, though, he said I could go.”

[Rowan’s eyebrows furrowed in concern.]

Rowan: “Did he think you lied to Dumbledore?”

“Or just left stuff out. Either way, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

[Carewyn sighed, glancing around the empty inn tiredly.]

“Shame I missed the rest of Bill’s party...”

Rowan: “Forget the party, I’m just glad you’re okay!”

[She took hold of Carewyn’s shoulder to get her friend to look at her.]

Rowan: “When Moody grabbed you and just vanished like that...we were all really worried. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley told us all that Moody was a good man and that he could be trusted, but...even with that, I still...”

[Carewyn’s eyes softened and she gave Rowan her bravest smile.]

“...Yeah...I guess it must’ve looked scary. But it’s okay -- I’m okay. So don’t worry...all right?”

[Rowan’s face broke into a small, faintly hesitant smile.]

Rowan: “...All right.”

[She looped an arm around Carewyn’s, her smile widening and growing warmer.]

Rowan: “Come on! We’d better hurry -- don’t want to miss the graduation ceremony!”

[Carewyn kept the bright white smile on her face even as Rowan led her out of the Three Broomsticks and back toward school.

She smiled at Rowan as if she hadn’t just outright lied to her face.]

It’s not okay, Rowan. I’m not okay.

But you will be. You -- our friends -- my mum -- everyone else -- you’ll all be okay. You’ll all be safe.

I promise.

((OOC: And so concludes year 5 for Carewyn! Onto year 6...oh, goodie...

Moody swore Carewyn to secrecy about what was discussed -- Carewyn herself took the additional step to actively mislead Rowan about what their meeting had been about. This will be the start of a big shift for Carewyn as opposed to MC’s trajectory in the game storyline -- from here on out, Carewyn isn’t telling her friends anything else about the Vaults or R. She’s taking the burden squarely on her shoulders and -- to make sure her friends can’t try to share that burden or talk her out of it -- she’ll be actively hiding any future involvement she has with R or the Vaults from them. Maybe then, she thinks, she can at least make sure they’re safe... =( ))

She´s the youngest daughter of Belmont and Isis Beaulieu and only sister to Jacob ( he calls her Pip since she was born).  Eloise is an ambitious and loyal young woman  with her loved ones. When she and Jacob were little, they used to camp on Easter days with both parents to gaze at the stars. After her brother disappears weeks after Christmas, she develops animosity towards winter.

In August 1984, she meets who would become her best friend and roommate at Hogwarts, Rowan Khanna in Diagon Alley. Both girls are selected for the House of Slytherin a few days later. The next day she meets Mérula Snyde with whom she would have a feud until the fifth year, when they would become allies against Rarepick and the Cursed Vaults.  

In 1988 she became the apprentice of Patricia Rarepick along with Mérula Snyde and Bill Weasley, at the end of the year the teacher betrays the Curse Breakers Team and abandons them in the Buried Vault. Eloise frees her brother from a portrait and he appears away in search of the red haired woman.

In her third grade, she starts talking to Barnaby Lee (a Slytherin of her class). They start out as friends but after attending the Celestial Ball together the following year they both begin to develop  feelings for each other.  They go on their first date and on Valentine´s Day 1989 they go as couple to the Lockhart Event at Hogsmeade, giving their first kiss that night at the Hogwarts Greenhouses.

Eloise became emotionally isolated from her friends until Barnaby gets her to talk about her feelings and she begins to accept that her friend has died. She and Mérula decide to become allies temporarily to defeat Rarepick. They form the Circle of Khanna to avenge the death of the Slytherin.

After graduation, both decide to travel for some time before settling in a flat near the MInistry. Once they were back, she began her training at Gringotts as a curse-breaker. Barnaby begins to work in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry gor a few years before he came magizoologist, he proposes to Eloise in November 1993 and few months later they moved to a home in the area near to The Burrow.

In 1996 they welcome their first daughter, Iris Altair Lee. Barnaby and Eloise quit their jobs a few months after Dumbledore’s death and protect their little family.

On May 2,1998 they are summoned by Tonks to fight the Voldemort and their army, leaving Iris in care of Andromeda Tonks. Eloise saved Fred from being killed by a Death Eater, but she collapses into her husband´s arms when she learns that Tonks and her husband have lost their lives, leaving little Teddy in the care of his grandmother.

In 2001, they welcome twins Bastien and Céline. Bastien is given his middle name  “Rowan” in honor of his mom’s roommate at Hogwart. Céline is named “Dora” after Auror Tonks, a close friend of her parents.

FIve years later, Eloise quits Gringotts and starts a new business with Penny  Haywood- now Winger- Once Iris graduates and the twins enter Hogwarts, Barnaby and Eloise resume their research trips.

[missnight0wl]

QUICK! You have been hired by Jam City as a writer for hphm cuz you're great and the backbone of this fandom What's the first thing you do? What do you change in the story or where do you want to take it?

Wait, what? No, too quick! Too many nice words! Task too difficult! System failed!

Seriously though, thank you so much for your nice words! 💖🥺

Aaand… I’m gonna assume that “scratch everything after the Portrait Vault, rewrite it, and release again” is not really an option? Because that’s what I’d like to do the most. No? Okay. Then it’s gonna be a hard task indeed… But let’s try it!

I will take the story from the recently released point, meaning Y7Ch42. I know that more chapters are datamined already, but for the sake of this thought experiment, let’s ignore them. Now, without further ado…

First of all, MC!

Alright, MC is probably my biggest problem with the game currently, and that’s because they’re simply too stupid. They don’t remember things, they don’t ask questions, they don’t use any logic… I need to change it. However, I think that the actual first thing I’d change is the way MC interacts with Peregrine. And it might sound weird, but I’d actually remove the options where we can be hostile towards him. Why? Because it’s being ignored anyway. So, I’d rather be forced to be nice to Peregrine. It’s not ideal, but I like it better than “giving MC two consistent personalities is way too hard, so we’re being sloppy as fuck about it instead”. Besides, it actually brings me to the next point.

I want to explain why MC was so stupid so far. Admittedly, I don’t think it can really be explained, and everything will probably sound like a stretch, but I guess the best move here would be to explain it through Peregrine’s manipulation, preferably with the use of Legilimency. It could explain both why MC was stupid and why they acted friendly towards their father.

You know me: I’m bringing Rakepick back, baby!

I don’t care that most of the fandom hates her. I want her back. And I actually think she could really help us a lot, considering everything she knows. Also, I’m using my theory of false memories to explain how Peregrine was using her. In fact, it actually goes along with the previous point.

Like, imagine that MC discovered that Peregrine was literally messing with their mind, and they somehow find out that the same thing happened to Rakepick. Therefore, they decide to contact her because she somehow survived our last meeting in Azkaban. Now, I’d also love it to be done in a total conspiracy. For example, MC tells Moody that they have to see Rakepick because of something. I dunno, they want to ask her about R. And they say they want to see her alone. Moody obviously protests, but MC claims that she’s weak because the Dementors almost got her the last time. Moody finally agrees, and when we’re alone with Rakepick, MC leans towards her and says:

“I know what Peregrine did to you. I want you to help me bring him down.”

And yes, I know that the insane route would be pretty problematic here, but I talked about it in this post.

Also, I’m redesigning Rakepick’s Azkaban model to be less insane looking, at least for the sane route. I’m not even sorry.

More conspiracy

It’s kind of connected to what I said previously: I want more secrecy. I want MC to be way more careful with what and where they say. 

That means that I want to reduce the Circle of Khanna significantly as well. Actually, our meeting in Y7Ch42 could be a good point for some people to quit. I definitely don’t want younger people anymore: Cedric, the Weasley twins, Beatrice… I want them out. I don’t want to spend much time discussing every member now, but I hope you get my point in general.

So, what about Merula?

Well, I guess we have to address her, don’t we? I want her to quit the Circle as well. I mean, to be fair, I’d be fine if the Circle was officially disbanded in general, so there's that... However, I have to recognise that removing Merula from the story entirely would be unrealistic. Still, I guess I’d like MC to have some very specific reason to work with Merula. I don’t think she should be involved in anything just because.

Moreover, I still claim that it’s way too late to give her a proper redemption arc… but I need to see some change. I want her to have a conversation with MC where she actually apologises for ALL the messed-up things she did and acknowledges that it was wrong. And then, if you choose to remain resentful, I want it to be reflected in the narrative. I also think that it’d be a somewhat decent solution if at least for some situations, we could choose whether we want Merula to be involved or someone else.

VAULT!JACOB VS REAL JACOB

You gave me power, so I’m using it. I want it to be finally revealed that Jacob we’re seeing in the game is an imposter. And I want a scene where MC is saved from vault!Jacob by the real Jacob. Seriously, I’d cry from happiness…

Tying up loose ends

Basically, I just want to answer many many questions from the past. Bonus points if it involves Duncan. He could help us to figure out that vault!Jacob is an imposter, for example.

And finally…

WANDLESS MAGIC IS MENTIONED NEVER AGAIN!

Seriously, it’s one thing I want to be forgotten. I don’t want it to be explained, and I want to pretend that it never happened.

It’s definitely not everything, but I believe these are the most important things. Also, this post is already pretty long, and I don’t really want to make it any longer.

But yeah! That’s it! I hope you enjoyed it! :)

[rosachaotic]

Year 6 new chapter spoilers

I feel like Cereza would feel heartbroken due to recent events, she always saw Merula in a good light even after everything and was always willing to give her a chance or a hand when she needed. After Cereza and her brother found out who the mole was, Cereza felt like an idiot because everyone warned her about Merula, including her own twin brother but she didnt listen. She feels guilty for allowing Merula on the circle of Khanna cause now everyone was in more danger thanks to that

And now she is not only agaisnt Rakepick and R, but agaisnt a person who she thought she could help change for the best a person who she thought would be able to call "friend" one day.
