Extracurriculars: None 

Hobbies: Reading, writing, gardening 

Personality: Intelligent, quick-witted, charismatic, brave, argumentative, outgoing, kind, stubborn

About Daphne: As the only daughter, Daphne found herself occasionally taking on the role of a second mother. She had to remind her twin brother, Atticus, to take care of himself when they were in school. She had a close relationship with Atticus though, despite the combative nature it took on when they were teens. She was eleven when Matthias was born and while the dynamics were different, Daphne found herself taking on a protective role towards him.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Daphne was quickly sorted into Ravenclaw. She found her home quite quickly in the house, despite suffering from moments of homesickness. That was when she was most grateful for her twin. While at Hogwarts, Daphne found her interest in nature and that she enjoys spending time doing nothing. Her interest in nature mostly culminated around herbology and botany. This led Daphne to becoming a herbologist after she graduated. While she never went on to become a household name, Daphne did write a few books about her research in herbology. Her writing did moderately well and her books were used by those in the field. 

Trivia:

Of the numerous Kennedy grandchildren, Daphne takes the shortest amount of time to be sorted. The hat barely touches her head before it sorts her into Ravenclaw. 

Daphne enjoys spending time with nothing to worry about. She’ll go dancing for the fun of it. She’s kissed a few men for the fun of it. She doesn’t go overboard with it, but enjoys doing things for fun.

Daphne is a polyglot. She’s fluent in English, Greek, and French. She also knows a lot of Latin, but isn’t as confident in it.

Extracurriculars: Prefect, beater on the Gryffindor quidditch team 

Hobbies: Quidditch, reading, swimming, hurling, writing, running 

Personality: Intelligent, athletic, brave, charismatic, reserved, knowledgeable, original, stubborn, energetic, adaptable, adventurous, private 

About Matthias: As the youngest son and by quite a lot, Matthias has a quiet upbringing. His siblings are at Hogwarts during most of his younger years and it takes him quite a while to gain a solid relationship with them through no one's fault but age. Luckily, Matthias has some cousins around his age, including his cousin, Cecilia, who’s two years ahead of him at Hogwarts. In addition, Matthias tends to take after his father more so than his mother, but he’s got a strong bond with both of his parents. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Matthias was quickly sorted into Gryffindor just like his father was. He found himself quite comfortable in the house of the lion quite quickly. It was nice to have cousins around and Matthias enjoyed the friends he made in the house. In his second year, he tried out for the Gryffindor quidditch team on a whim and won the position of beater. He fell in love with quidditch on the pitch at Hogwarts, but it was never a burning passion. In addition, Matthias was made a prefect in his fifth year, something he was incredibly shocked by but was incredibly proud of. Sure, he might not be a prefect and headboy like Atticus was, but Matthias felt like he had finally shed the lingering cap of his siblings.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Matthias tried on many different careers. None seemed to fit him until he decided to write about quidditch. Now, he wasn’t a journalist and didn’t write about quidditch matches that were currently being played. Instead, he wrote about the history of quidditch, its rules, and the game in and of itself. He became moderately successful for a trilogy of novels surrounding a fictional quidditch team’s exploits.

Trivia:

Matthias was a surprise baby, born eleven years after his older siblings, Atticus and Daphne.

His middle name of Dermot is a Kennedy family name, although Matthias’s full name doesn’t follow the Kennedy family conventions.

Matthias is bilingual, fluent in English and Greek. He knows the rudimentary aspects of Latin, though.

Extracurriculars: Prefect, care of magical creatures club

Hobbies: Gardening, swimming, reading, hiking, exploring

Personality: Curious, intelligent, kind, hardworking, dreamer, friendly, honest, secret romantic 

About Cecilia: As the middle child, Cecilia has always loved the adventure that comes with the outdoors. She could spend hours exploring the grounds of Whitethorn Hall and looking for animals and plants. Her love of the outdoors was unexpected, as in many other respects she reminded people of her father, just without the seriousness that accompanied Edmund Kennedy. Cecilia also has a close relationship with her sister, Aurelia. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Cecilia was sorted into Gryffindor, after becoming a hatstall. She found herself at home quite quickly in Gryffindor, becoming comfortable with the students and everything around her. It was also nice when her cousin, Matthias, joined her two years later. In her fifth year, Cecilia was named prefect. She never became headgirl, but that didn’t bother Cecilia too much. After all, she was busy fulfilling her interests in herbology and magiozoology. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Cecilia followed her dream and became both a herbologist and a magiozoologist. She never became a major name or anything, but Cecilia did become a major part of advocating for some of the legislation passed in the 1930s and 40s. In addition, she fell in love with Ravenclaw alumn, Oliver Battersea. Eventually, Cecilia and Oliver married and had one child, a son named Albert. 

Trivia:

Cecilia was a hatstall between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Her ambitions drive her quite a lot, which includes her ambition to become both a herbologist and a magiozoologist. A lot of people are shocked that she’s not a Slytherin.

Cecilia is a hopeless romantic, but she keeps that side of herself quiet and very few people are allowed to see that side of herself. 

Cecilia is Luke Battersea’s paternal grandmother.

Patronus: Lion

Favorite Subjects: Transfiguration, arithmancy 

Least Favorite Subjects: Potions, herbology

Extracurriculars: Keeper on the Slytherin quidditch team, prefect 

Hobbies: Quidditch, reading, writing

Personality: Intelligent, stubborn, strong-willed, uptight, honorable, reliable, patient, organized, passionate, athletic, stubborn, open-minded 

About Alfie: As the youngest child and only son, Alfie is, without a doubt, his father’s son. He has a good relationship with both of his sisters even though he’s not that close to them, but being the youngest means that Alfie is not nearly as uptight as his father. In fact, his grandmother says that Alfie reminds her of what Edmund was like before Ferdia Kennedy’s death. Alfie has a comment for everything, just like his father had as a young child. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Alfie was sorted into Slytherin after spending ten minutes under the sorting hat as it debated if Slytherin or Ravenclaw was a better fit for him. He found himself quite homesick for his first few weeks at Hogwarts, which was lessened slightly by the fact that his older sisters were both with him. In his third year, Alfie joined the Slytherin quidditch team. He originally tried out for the position of beater, but instead, he earned the position of keeper. He enjoyed the sport quite a lot, but never felt the desire for quidditch to be anything other than a hobby. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Alfie followed the family footsteps into the ministry of magic. Like his father, Alfie began his career in the treasury department. However, Alfie eventually decided to run for the legislative body and he won on his first run. He served 10 years in the legislative body before returning to the treasury department. 

Trivia:

Alfie’s middle names follow the tradition of Kennedy family naming. Dermot is the first middle name, whose purpose has been forgotten over the years, and the second middle name is the boy’s father’s first name. Thus, Alfie is Alfred Dermot Edmund. 

In his third year, Alfie went through a phase where he tried out other possible nicknames because he felt that “Alfie” was too childish. None stuck and honestly, Alfie didn’t like being called any of them.

While in his eighties, Alfie is the guardian to his grandnephew (Cecilia’s grandson), Luke Battersea, for a year.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, piano, cards, golf

Personality: Kind, poised, quiet, stoic, witty, intelligent, sarcastic, honest, strong-willed, thoughtful, calm, observant, stubborn, direct, loyal, courageous, inflexible, a bit arrogant 

About Louis: As the third son, Louis is very much a combination of his parents, although, perhaps, he takes after his father a bit more so than his mother. He has a closer relationship with his younger brother, Oliver, than he does with either of his older brothers despite the fact that he is closer in age to Niall than he is to Oliver. Perhaps, it’s because he and Oliver are closer to their father. Louis looks up to his older brothers, even though they don’t get along terribly well as children. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Louis was sorted into Gryffindor after five minutes of the sorting hat debating if he would be better in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Louis felt out of place in Gryffindor for his first few weeks at Hogwarts, but he eventually found his footing and he became quite comfortable with the house and his housemates. In addition, he was made a prefect in his fifth year and that same year, he made the Gryffindor quidditch team, earning the position of keeper. 

After he graduated from Hogwarts, Louis began experimenting many different careers as he wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to do with his life. He had fulfilled multiple requirements for different careers and felt like spending some time figuring out which one would be the best fit. He tried auror training, before dropping out. Eventually, he found himself taking on the role of broom maker, something that combined many of Louis’s strengths. He never loved his career, but he appreciated it and found himself feeling quite comfortable with it. 

Trivia:

Louis’s middle name, Edgar, is after his late uncle. Marcus Edgar Charles Battersea. His middle name, Hamid, is in honor of his mother’s culture.

Louis is a supporter of the Chudley Cannons.

About Oliver: As the youngest son, Oliver takes after his father much more than his mother, although he does have a lot more daring and impulsiveness than his father ever did. He also has a closer relationship with his father, as they just get on a little better. He is also the closest to his older brother, Louis, but looks up to his oldest brother, Sidney, the most. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Oliver was sorted into Ravenclaw quite quickly. He found himself to be quite at home in Ravenclaw, despite feeling annoyed at the comparisons to his brothers. In his third year, he started taking Care of Magical Creatures and fell in love with the subject. The next year, his fourth year, he made the Ravenclaw quidditch team and earned the position of seeker. He enjoyed the sport, but mostly as a hobby and less so as a career path.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Oliver followed his gut and began working as a dragonlogist. While on a trip, he met magiozoologist and and herbologist, Cecilia Kennedy. He fell in love with Cecilia and they married, eventually having one son together, Albert Dermot Battersea in 1947. 

Trivia:

Oliver’s middle name, Marcus, is after his late uncle Marcus. His other middle name, Erol, is in honor of his mother’s culture.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, experimenting, horse riding

Personality: Curious, intelligent, hardworking, loyal, quick temper, kind, friendly, open-minded, absentminded, outgoing, charismatic, practical, stubborn, reserved, oblivious, forgets about his own needs and stuff a lot

About Gio: As the eldest son, Gio is very much his mother’s son. He’s generally on the more serious side, unless he’s doing something that he’s passionate about… which is usually experimenting with potions or trying to create his own spells. In addition, Gio inherited his father’s temper, which isn’t exactly the greatest combination when it comes to his experiments. He also has a good relationship with both of his siblings and his parents. He’s probably the closest to Enzo, which makes them a slightly interesting duo.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Gio was sorted into Hufflepuff after spending ten minutes under the sorting hat as it debated between whether or not Gio would fit better in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Despite feeling a bit like the hat made a mistake, Gio found himself at home in Hufflepuff. It just took a while. He became a prefect in his fifth year, which made him feel like he had found his footing even more. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Gio went on to become an alchemist. It fed his love for experimentation and while he would never reach the level of Nicolas Flamel, he became moderately successful and well-known in the world of alchemy. 

Trivia:

Gio is the only one of the Rovere-Parsons kids to not inherit any seer genes.

About Reva: As the only daughter and youngest child, Reva is very much a good combination in personality of her parents’ personalities. She doesn’t really take after one more than the other and has a close relationship with her parents. She’s also closest to her brother, Enzo, although she’s really grateful that she can turn to Gio when she feels homesick at Hogwarts.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Reva was sorted into Hufflepuff and unlike her brother, Gio, Reva was sorted quickly. She found herself at home in Hufflepuff quite quickly, forming good friendships and feeling at home in the house. She was named prefect in her fifth year and became headgirl in her seventh year. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Reva went on to become a healer. 

Trivia:

Reva inherited the seer gene from her father, which mostly manifests in her dreams.

Background

Hometown

Adonis grew up in the old city of Thebes in Greece. He had a fairly great childhood. He also grew up a Greek Christan Orthodox, though practised it very little. He has some rituals of it that he keeps to himself, but has never pressured anyone for it. He grew up a modern and ahead-of-his.time boy. 

At the age of 11, his paternal grandmother, who was a seer, due to age and untrained magic, attacked young Adonis, telling him that his beauty was sinful and no one would love him, always wanting his beauty. This traumatised Adonis, showing signs of growing into a handsome young boy. He closed himself off since then. 

Family

Mother: Agatha Sofía Demiurgos, neé Galanis 

A fair beauty, local from Thebes, she grew up in a house of Ottoman ancestry, which made her an outcast in a place where they hated the Ottomans for 400 years of invasion. She met Apollonas when he defended her because a drunken man had tried to take unwanted advances towards her. They hit it off, and despite Agatha being on a girl’s night, she was encouraged to pass some time with this new beau. They courted for a while before he proposed to her and had Adonis. Two years later, their daughter Irene would be born. 

Father: Apollonas Gregorius Demiurgos 

First generation to be born in England, with both Greek parents who immigrated to England 20 years ago, he was a student of Hogwarts, Ravenclaw alumni and who worked as a magical diplomat between England and Greece. He had an hero complex and it peaked when he saved the beautiful woman on the beach who was being accosted by a drunk of the name Agatha Galanis. They both it off and went on multiple dates before he proposed months later. They both married and none of them converted to either Anglicanism or Greek Orthodoxy. They moved, however, to England for better chances in 1876 and in 1881 they had their son Adonis. Two years later, in 1883, they had a daughter, Irene. The birth was difficult and the marriage declared that they’d have no more children, happy with a daughter and a son. 

Sister: Irene Zoya Demiurgos 

Two years younger than Adonis, she is painfully shy and introverted, always with her nose on a book -hence being sorted into Ravenclaw- and very quiet, though when she warms up to somebody, she rambles nonstop. She is aware of her beauty but prefers to nurture her mind and think that she is far too young to pursue romance, wanting to be mature and wise, unlike the naive heroines she reads about.

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: Minerva Aileen Kennedy ( @unfortunate-arrow​ ) 

When they first met, Adonis was a shy boy who couldn’t speak English and upon hearing Minerva’s extensive vocabulary, decided to ask her to help him find the Flying lesson they were headed to. However, this wouldn’t last. Upon making friends who weren’t the best company, they decided to target Minerva by stealing her prized notebooks and reading them in front of the class. Adonis thought they’d mess with it and not fully embarrass her, and before he could defend himself or explain Minerva, he had grated her and earned detention. He was then too shy and insecure of his English to explain himself to Minerva, and when he started to grow courage, the year had ended. 

On second year, he cut ties with that group and instead befriended his dormmate and Minerva’s twin brother, Grant. He soon explained the situation and he understood and became water under the bridge. Adonis instead tried to gain her attention in the academic ambit and soon a rivarly formed. She was restless, meanwhile he was laid-back and always answered correctly even while missing some lessons or falling asleep in class, which annoyed Minerva even more. All of this lasted until the end of sixth year. 

During summer, Grant invited Adonis for a weekend at his home, and told him that he’d accept the invitation only if Minerva was alright with it. He was surprised when he was told she didn’t mind it. During those days, he realised that he had always fancied and admired her deep down, but Minerva was oblivious to it, but made small gestures to slowly win her affection, such as leaving her notes with quotes from Greek poets, flowers that reminded him of her, Greek words with their meaning that he knew she’d love, and perfumes that, to him, smelled like Minerva. 

Sadly, before he could confess his feelings, he was accepted in his dream work on a duelling program for future duellists. He’d travel across Europe for nearly two years to countries like Romania, Lithuania, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Montenegro, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, the Ottoman Empire (much to his chagrin), Finland, Hungary, and finally France, where he’d reunite with Minerva, who had heard that the famous champion Adonis would be, fighting. He dedicated her his victory and the two of them had their first official date as someone courting. They also had their second kiss on the top of the Eiffel Tower at midnight. He then retired as a dueller after being declared Champion Duellist and settled in England, where he courted and married Minerva and had three children: twins Atticus and Daphne and a son years later, a surprise baby. 

They lived a happy, fulfilled life and he passed away at 108 years of age, with his children and grandchildren with him. 

Friends: Edmund Kennedy ( @unfortunate-arrow​ ) 

He did not befriend him until their second year. They were opposites, but found a way to get along nicely enough. Their relationship was also good enough when he asked him for permission to court his sister, which ensued in a ‘if you hurt her I’ll kill you’ speech. He also corresponded with him during many years and asked for his permission to ask his sister’s hand in marriage. They remained good friends until the end. 

Rivals: Minerva Kennedy 

For years, he and his future wife were at odds (more on her part than his) and it stayed on the academic field up until seventh year. They’d eventually fall in love and marry. 

Trivia

He was one of the options for Lady Gray’s grooms

Wherever he went, the girls always chased him because of his looks 

His grandmother was tortured by Dark Wizards to cause something similar to dementia and tried to kill Adonis because of his ‘dangerous beauty’ 

He’s afraid of falling in love with the wrong person 

He’s an accomplished gentleman in Muggle sense 

He has a tattoo of a caduceus (symbol of Hermes) on his collarbone that he acquired at 23 

He has a puffskein named Hermes

This drink your friend call «apple cider»? Tsiporo? Raki? it blessed by the righteous Theoi and cures every cold. I make some this evening to toast my friends across the sea. Your health and your friend dame Canary to teach you Greek mother medicine from Phoebe.

khaire anon!! glad to hear from you again! i think it is so sweet that you made some to toast us; i'll do the same tonight since i'm making some to share with my mom while i'm visiting her. i've said it before, but i think it is just so blessed by the theoi that my blog goes so far as athens, greece, and that i'm able to have such a beautiful connection with another worshipper of phoebe apollona. i'm going to simply include a screenshot of what dame canary (@luminarycanary) said on the last post because @sundownridge asked for the recipe! i figure i'd make sure it wasn't buried in the replies and let you see exactly what we're talking about. also figured i'd boost it in case anyone else wants to try it because my anon friend here is absolutely right; it is blessed by the theoi and truly heals both the body and the soul. it gets cold where i'm from in the states, and this drink is something i'm starting to make all the time to help keep me from getting sick(er) and just because there's something so nice to me about taking something so blessed by the gracious theoi to my classes with me on a cold day. cannot suggest trying this more to any of my followers who have never had it.

i'm making mine tonight with oranges and lemons. sometime soon i'm going to put apples in it as well. [edited to add] i don't drink because of medication i'm on and my stomach issues, so i add water instead of an alcohol, so if you don't drink either/want to serve to kids i suggest that! as always, thank you for the ask! may all the theoi, especially phoebe apollona, king zeus and his queen hera, and pallas athene watch over you and your lovely family!
