RELATIONSHIPS

Family

Unknown biological parents

Vermillion Ulrikke (adoptive mother)

Jacob Ulrikke (adoptive brother)

Unknown relatives

Close friends

Rowan Khanna: Best friend for life. Rowan was the first friend she met in Hogwarts, was also her dorm mate, and she was the emotionally supportive friend that would back Kouneli up wheneve necessary. Regardless of the traumatic event that had happened to Rowan (and the fact that their personalities were total polar opposite), they will stay as the closest friends forever

Ben Cooper: They related much with others since both are Muggle-born (Kouneli was only adopted by a pure blood family after she was 8, therefore she lived as a muggle in her early life). The two would hang out in the Artefact room to chat about Muggle stuff that their friends wouldn’t understand. With Kouneli on his side, Ben felt less alone in the wizarding world that he didn’t get the chance to know early on

Bill Weasley: Bill was the big brother figure for Kouneli: he genuinely cared for her, looked after her as if he was her mom, would always be on her side, protected her and made sure she was doing okay. He would also make sure no one mess with his little friend and would give the best advice ever. Kouneli adores and looks up to Bill a lot. After all it was Bill who gave her the most attention and affection out of all her friends

Andre Egwu: They both enjoyed fashion and Kouneli would willingly be the model for Andre’s new designs. Both of them would spend hours making random dresses and gowns to take photoshoots and print out the photos for fun.

Charlie Weasley: Kouneli and Charlie became close friends very quickly given the fact both of them were crazy about creatures. They would have debate sections about dragons and Charlie would try to convince her that flying was not that bad. It was their adventurous instinct that attracted them in the first place. He is Kouneli’s closest friend just after Rowan and Bill

Jae Kim: Both of them got on too well together since they were both kinda reckless, and both had fun running away from responsibilities and being some of the most laid back homo sapiens to ever existed

Badeea Ali: Artistic duo! Badeea enjoys painting while Kouneli takes interests in pottery making, so they would talk about this subject a lot and were influenced by each other art concepts too. They said artists usually got along well, and these two were not an exception

Love interests

Bill Weasley: Bill was Kouneli’s first ever crush, so he has always had a special place in her heart, even though they didn’t get together and she got over him eventually. Bill is the exact definition of Kouneli’s type; he was perfect in every way and back when she was in year 3 she would daydream about being with him a lot. However, Merula exposed Kouneli’s crush for Bill just right after the Emily incident, so it was quite an awkward period for Kouneli and Bill since Bill only viewed her as his little sister. But things turned out fine and they were still the best of friends

Diego Caplan: They first met when Diego invited Kouneli to the Dragon club for a friendly duel which would result in a whole mess afterwards. They got closer as they were trying clean that mess and save the Dragon club from being disbanded. Not to mention they were both skilled dancer and would have dance practice sections with others in the Dragon clubhouse. Their feelings for each other developed higher than friendship, but still below love. Things eventually went downhill fast and now they just remained as friends and clubmates, and they were cool with it

Merula Snyde: At first, Kouneli asked Merula out for the Celestial Ball as a “joke” and had no intention of fancying her. But oh well did Merula fell hard for her after the ball. Merula had a crush on Kouneli, and since she was so mean to Kouneli in the previous years, Kouneli would use this opportunity to mess with her and get her to behave more kindly towards others. She still fancied Kouneli even in their last year at Hogwarts. Imma call it karma for bullying someone

Talbott Winger: Her current boyfriend. They first met when they were 9, when Kouneli just moved here from Japan and was not that fluent in English; they had a blast talking about the wizarding world despite the language barrier. They met again on the train to Hogwarts on their first year and sat in the same compartment, even though Talbott didn’t remember her as the little girl he met two years ago due to how different she looked. Kouneli remembers falling head over heel for him when they properly met again in their third year during Kouneli’s adventure to become an Animagus, and she has had the crush on him ever since. At first she just brushed it away thinking that she would get bored soon and fall in love in someone else as she saw no chance of her being with Talbott (their personality are literally polar opposite), but oh boy love did blossom in her fourth year and she couldn’t really bare with all the butterflies flying in her stomach whenever she faces him. In the end they finally managed to have enough courage to ask each others out for dates and now they are delusional lovebirds. Everyone was surprised because of how well they got along with each others, no one expected them to be this deeply in love with their partner

Dorm mates

OTHER

Family/Background history: Kouneli was born in Kyoto, Japan. Her biological parents were Norwegian Muggle and they didn’t even married back then. They were just a couple travelled to Kyoto for work. What they didn’t expect that their lastest love-making section in their home country would result in the birth if their child in Japan. It was also Kouneli’s first sign of magic: she was born 7 months early, yet still was a (kinda) healthy child with leucism. Knowing that they couldn’t afford to bring the child home let alone raising a human, her parents left her in the care of a local Kyoto childcare center. So Kouneli was born and raised in Japan. She showed too many signs of magic when she was little: being able to move objects without physical touches, hair growing at an alarming speed, hair color changed from originally white to black with white strokes, and even wandless jinxing. However, the Japanese Ministry of Magic never took notice of these signs so she was left living with Muggles. It wouldn’t be that much of a hazard if the childcare center didn’t turn out to be a secret base for a cult named Azuwaki. The cult saw Kouneli capability of magic and immediately viewed her as a descendant of their god and workshipped her like maniacs. Keep in mind that she was only about 4-5 years old at the time and she had to grind through these until she was 8 years old. The cult stressed her out on religious duties and would physically and mentally abused her for the cult’s beliefs. She couldn’t get help and was for sure hopeless in these circumstances. However, her magic was getting stronger and stronger and was so powerful to the point that the Ministry department had to notice and rescued her from the cult. The cult, though, insisted in keeping her as their saviors and did malicious things just to force her to stay. Getting involved in the situation and understanding the disaster Kouneli was going through, the British Ministry of Magic offered help and got her back to England, faraway from the cult. The cult is still after her till this day though. In England, she was adopted by the pure blood family Ulrikke when she was 8 and was only named Kouneli at this point (her previous name in Japan was Nozomi). She finally got to live a normal happy life a child deserves, and later on start her first year at Hogwarts. (Note: the more stressful she felt in a long period, the more black hair she grows. So in Japan her hair was almost completely black with few white strokes, and she managed to get her original white hair back in just 2 years in England)

Miscellaneous:

* She was nicknamed kokonut by Bill as a joke regarding her hatred towards coconuts, and every friends of her start calling her by that alias (or Ko for short)

* She is very talented at learning languages, she can learn a difficult language and be fluent in it just in about a month (we stan a billingual queen)

* Has special links with Thestrals

* Always has back pains and has no idea why. Talbott once forced her stretch her back and her spine cracked 7749 times in that day

* Usually confused by her emotions while fancying someone. She could fancy numerous people at once and falls in love too quickly (we also stan a messy hoe)

* No one could really get mad at her. She is the type that has positive enlightened vibe which makes everyone feel uplifted just by looking at her

* Is known and popular mainly for her visual - she is also nicknamed “The snow princess of Ravenclaw” because of her exotic looks (you know like people with leucism/albinism in snow just hit different)

* Is a simp

* Clumsy from time to time

* Very skilled in wandless jinxing

* Would start a concert in her dorm to practice her dances and vocals

* Her speciality is high-note rap and whistle range

* Would sleep all day and cry all night

* Is the type to breakdown very quickly and cry very easily

* Handwriting is either hideous or merely acceptable depends on the languages

* Is ambidextrous

* Top of her class in Astronomy

* Is kinda the type who procrastinates a lot and doesn’t study much but manages to have good grade and be in top of their classes

* She would only study about two days before any exams, and then would forget it all in 3 seconds after leaving the classroom

* Hates flying because she despises the sensation of her butt touching the broomstick, it always tickles her in a way she doesn’t want to be tickled

* Hates Herbology just because she hates plants in general

*Hates coconuts mainly because of the Vietnamese fairytale “Sọ dừa” (not-to-be-trusted-direct-translation: Coconut head/ Coconut skull) that traumatized her as a kid

The Wonders of Ohio P.4

masterlist - find parts 1, 2, and 3 here

request guidelines

did you miss me :P

pairing: draco x reader

requested: by prepubescent me

summary: american high school student y/n y/l/n’s senior year gets turned upside down when her family hosts a british exchange student that’s clearly keeping some secrets.

warnings: language and drug use mentions

a/n: hi everyone...i know that this has been a long time coming but. here she is. i finally finished this after the draft sat for over 6 months...here she is though! i’m excited weeee

tags tags tags

word count: 2k

music recs: hate candidate by BLOODHYPE, archie, marry me by alvvays

“No, no,” Y/N interrupted, gently pushing Draco’s hands away from his locker. “It’s right to the number, left past the next number once, and right straight to the last number. You twist it right to reset it...no, like this...”

“This is pathetic, I don’t even need to put anything in a box in the wall,” Draco snarled, his gray eyes flaming.

“It’s really not that deep,” she said, snorting at his attitude. “Do they not have locks in England?”

Instead of answering, he huffed dramatically and scowled. “Open it up for me, will you? It’s not worth my time to learn.”

“You’re going to be here for a whole year, you know.” Y/N’s remark contradicted with her actions as she reapproached the locker and twisted out the combination. “But how can I say no to you, ever the gentlemen?”

She held out a hand out expectantly as he stared at her, his eyes full of confusion.

“Your phone,” she said.

“My...my what?”

“I know, it’s weird, but they prohibit phones in orientation. Something about bonding or whatever. Just give it here, and we’ll keep it in here. If it goes off in any of the activities they’ll take it from you.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Okay, okay, I respect that attitude.” Y/N smirked, patting him on the shoulder as he flinched away from her. “Just don’t be mad at me when they confiscate it until 2.”

He stared at her for a few seconds longer before clearing his throat and nodding.

<^>

The speeches at the beginning were always the longest part--the unnecessary dramatization of the importance of high school, the faux motivation mantras, the “love yourself” bits ironically being performed by some of the most insufferable members of the ASB--and Y/N was ready to get it over with, Draco seemed to feel the same way, as every time she looked at him, he looked another shade of uninterested.

She tried poking fun at the performances a couple times to see his reaction, and surprisingly enough, it was slightly well received.

“You see the redhead down there?” she whispered to him, gesturing towards the current speaker with her chin. He gave her a tight nod in response. “That’s Heather, our ASB president. She’s a total tool. Spews all this ‘vaping in the bathrooms isn’t cool!’ shit but one time I walked in on her doing lines in the performance wing bathrooms. She’s crazy, I’m telling you.”

Draco seemed amused at this, resting his cheek in his palm and watching her intently. “Lines?”

“Cocaine.”

“Cocaine?”

“You know what? I’m gonna quit while we’re ahead. I don’t want to be the one to corrupt you.”

Draco scoffed. “You’re worried about corrupting me?”

“Well, yeah,” she said. “I’m not the one who doesn’t know what cocaine is.”

He sniffed at this, turning his attention back to Heather’s mind-numbing anti-bullying presentation that was clearly put together moments before. Silence ensued for the next few moments before Draco sucked in a breath and turned to look at her. “What’s an ASB?”

“Oh, you should be so glad that you have to ask that,” Y/N stage whispered. “It’s student government. It’s an acronym for something. I never cared enough to remember it. The elections are super corrupt--it’s basically a popularity contest. They don’t do anything either...I don’t even know why it exists anyways.”

“So I take it you’re not popular?”

“By choice, I’ll have you know,” Y/N pointed out. “I just made friends with the people I had stuff in common with. We all just happened to not be big fans of putting vodka in our Hydroflasks and the like...What I mean by that is that we aren’t big partiers.” She was quick to clarify when she saw the confusion on Draco’s face.

He didn’t seem to understand any more of what she had said, or at least didn’t show any interest in it, scooting away a few inches from her and turning his head back to Heather’s speech.

The presentation ended within another 10 minutes, much to Y/N’s delight. One had been enough for her--two orientations was pushing it.

Maybe that’s why all the ASB kids are so awful she thought to herself as they made they way to Draco’s first class on the schedule. If I had to be here every year, I’d probably be a grade A rat as well.

“How’d they put you in AP Physics C?” Y/N asked him as they walked into the science lab. “I’m in your same period...and I had to take two years of physics before that to be qualified to take it. Did you take a Physics A level or something? Is that what they call it?”

Draco blinked twice. “Er...sure. My professors told me that I was skilled in Arithmancy, if that’s what you mean..?”

“Arithmancy? Is that just a fancy word for math?” she pressed. “I thought you guys just called it maths.”

“You could say so.”

Before she could push for any more answers, someone behind them cleared their throat. Y/N spun around, her face lighting up when she saw who it was.

“Mr. Whitacre!” she exclaimed.

“Y/N, my least favorite student,” he greeted, a cheeky smile concealed by a rather bushy black beard. “I’m surprised they haven’t kicked you out of orientation. Haven’t you head? This is supposed to be an event for new students...not jaded old souls such as yourself.”

“Oh, you know me.” She rested one of her hands on a lab table, raising an eyebrow. “I just couldn’t stay away from the thrilling suggestion of physics.”

“Sure. And you are...”

Draco just stared at him for a few seconds with a disgusted expression until Y/N elbowed him in the side, hard. “You’ll have to excuse Draco. He’s still going through jet lag. Aren’t you, Draco?”

Y/N sent him a death glare until he wiped the expression off his face and uttered an awkward, “Er, yeah.”

The rest of orientation was just as uncomfortable and unnatural as Draco’s introduction to Mr. Whitacre. Y/N was surprised to see that they had a very similar schedule as Draco seemed entirely clueless to what the subjects even were. She mentioned her concerns to him briefly, but he seemed entirely unbothered.

“It can’t be any harder than school back home,” he told her in his prim and proper voice, prompting a small smile to grow across Y/N’s face.

“Oh, I’m sure,” she said, her voice hardly containing her sarcasm.

The rest of the morning was spent toiling around each of the empty classrooms and memorizing room numbers so Draco wouldn’t be lost come Thursday morning. Y/N wasn’t having an entirely terrible time, as, much to her surprise, Draco wasn’t a complete dickwad. There were moments where he actually had something interesting or worthy to say, and when he didn’t look like he just stepped in something disgusting, she enjoyed the walks between classes. By the end of 5th period, she had concluded that Draco could make absolutely anything sound beautiful in his accent.For once, they were both being entirely civil to each other, and Y/N found herself wishing that the school day went on a bit longer. At least...until the walk to French.

“Excuse me,” a voice carried over Y/N’s as she was in the middle of telling Draco some particularly hot gossip from last year. “I don’t think I’ve seen you here before.”

Heather stood to their left, leaning coolly on the wall of lockers, her right shoulder just subtly dropped in their direction.

“Hey Heather,” Y/N greeted. “This is Draco. He’s our exchange student this year.”

“Hello.” Draco’s voice was stiffer than usual.

She smiled, her lips stretching out over perfectly straight white teeth. “Hi Draco! Listen, I know it can be hard here at first, especially if you haven’t grown up around here, but I swear we’re all super friendly.” She held out her hand, smiling even wider. Y/N hardly managed to hold back a laugh as Draco took it and limply shook it like one would fondle a dead fish.

Heather’s face remained just as cheery. “I just want to say that, as ASB president, it’s my job to make sure you feel like you fit in. Let me give you my snapchat, so if you ever need anything, I’m just one snap away.”

“Oookay, thank you Heather,” Y/N interrupted, wrapping her fingers around Draco’s sleeve and pulling. “I’ll give it to him tonight if he wants it. We have to find French now.” She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she swore that she could see Draco send her a slightly grateful look.

“AP French? Quelle coïncidence! I’m headed there too.”

No matter how briskly she dragged Draco along, Heather was able to catch up and chatter away, asking him about life in the UK and how he found Americans. She couldn’t help but allow a little smirk when he answered, telling her “a little annoying, quite frankly.”

French was even more insufferable than she was expecting it to be. The strict teacher, M. Smith (despite being more American than everyone in the room, yes, he did insist on being called Monsieur), coupled with the weird, forlorn glances Heather kept sending Draco made Y/N feel crushingly uncomfortable. With the way that Draco was fidgeting, she could guess that he felt the same way.

Suddenly, 2 couldn’t come soon enough.

<^>

“So, what’d you think?” Y/N asked as they made their way back to Y/N’s car. She toyed with her lanyard, turning and twisting the keys until they couldn’t twist anymore.

Draco stepped over to the passenger side door, waiting for her to press unlock. “Your friend Heather is very friendly.”

“She’s not my friend, Draco, I already told you that.”

“She certainly comes up to talk to you a lot for someone who isn’t your friend.”

She shifted into drive and began pulling out of the parking lot. “It’s an American thing. And plus, she wouldn’t be talking to me if I didn’t have a pretty boy with an accent living with me.”

Draco froze up, sending her a weird sideways look.

“Don’t be so overdramatic, kiddo,” she continued. “American girls go crazy for British accents. Trust me. There’s going to be so many girls throwing themselves at you come tomorrow that you won’t even know what to do with yourself.”

Y/N tried to keep the bitterness from creeping into her tone as she told Draco this. It wasn’t like she liked him or anything--no way--it was just frustrating to know that the moment he stepped foot on the school grounds tomorrow, he would be snapped up into a flurry of admirers. These few days had felt like she was keeping a delicate, sophisticated secret in the guest room in the hall over, but it was time for her to snap out of it.

“The feeling certainly isn’t mutual,” he finally said. Y/N could see that his head was rested against the window as he looked out into the trees as they passed by a particularly wooded area. “American accents give me a migraine.”

“Funny, me too.”

“But you have one.”

“Your point? Pass me the Advil.”

“The...the what?”

Y/N sucked in a deep breath and tried to keep herself from bursting out into a cackle. “Paracetamol, maybe? I think that’s the British version.”

“Er...I’m sorry?” Draco had moved his head from its resting place on the window to send her a confused look.

“Forget about it.”

The drive back was silent for the rest of the way. Upon arriving, Draco made a beeline for his room and made no indication of wanting to come back out, so Y/N spent the rest of the evening ironing out her physics problem sets and getting her backpack ready for school.

My last first day she thought to herself as she zipped her binders and pencil pouch up, a hint of nostalgia threatening to choke her up for a moment.

The entire situation felt eerie and strange. All her life, she’d been waiting to get out of school so she could go to college and meet new friends and have her fun life experiences, and now it was all beginning to happen. She tried to imagine how Draco must’ve been feeling in that moment and could hardly manage to come up with anything she could relate to. He’d been uprooted from his home, his family, his life, all to move to fucking Ohio of all places to finish out school. Y/N would feel a twinge of pity if he wasn’t such a prick.

Which, by the way, now that she really thought of it, was perhaps becoming overshadowed by all the little things she noticed about him. Obviously, he was very pretty, but there was something else just magnetizing about him that she’d never seen before in a person. The way in which he carried himself, the regal manner he spoke in, the delicate and practiced motions of his hands whenever he did anything menial--it all added up to paint Draco as the picture of elegance. She came to the realization that she’d never met anyone quite like him before as she was getting into bed and turning her lights off. He seemed so incredibly detached from reality, but decidedly so, that she couldn’t help but feel fascinated with it all.

And he was all hers to figure out for the next 9 months.

final a/n: huhhhh isn’t that funny that i actually came out with a different fic than i said i would? i think i want to do that quarantine thing a little bit later and make it a series. i’ve planned that i want to finish mirror, mirror in the coming weeks and then transfer to writing the “one shot” that was scheduled to be posted today as a series as well as this. exciting stuff to come!

Ok so I spent three hours of my life researching OWLS and NEWTS and making my own list of students and the subjects they take (literally all of them are hcs, I think Liz is the only character I could find actual set out NEWTS for).

And uh yeah they're literally a levels, and I'm going to ramble about that now since I am a human person currently doing those.

I couldn't find a precise number, but most sources seem to place the average number of NEWTs taken at 2-3, with dedicated academics taking 4, and 5 being possible, though special permission is required. (I have no reason to be this excited at the similarities with a levels but I am). Based on the usual timetable (and I'm such a nerd I checked with friends at college and other sixth forms for this), that is the exact same as the current uk system! There is room for 5 subjects, but it's advised to take 3, with an additional qualification or one more subject if you're applying for a specific degree or line of work.

While I know this is all still fiction, and I cant know anything for sure, Hogwarts is basically a private school with no fees. There are probably just less students per year than muggle schools due to population differences and whatnot (also a war - that happened). And private schools generally have small class sizes to start (and since they seem to be split by groups of two houses, numbers must be pretty small for that to be feasible - teenagers are still teenagers, and ones with magic are probably even more of a nightmare to deal with).

Since NEWTS are optional, and hogwarts is a death trap, that small year group is going to get cut down again after fifth year once students decide to either go into work or... this is the uk in the 80s, so yeah they go straight into work.

Six and seventh year are basically sixth form, so hypothetically there's also whatever the equivalent of wizard college is (if apparation is jks stand in for driving lessons then shes clearly way too invested in student life and these probably exist). So likely quidditch players who wanted to get into coaching or professional sport would have vocational courses, or there would be apprenticeships in specific industries.

But my point is: classes are tiny think of the absolute fuckery that occurs.

So potions is the chemistry of the wizarding world, and herbology is biology (wow, what a leap). Based on uk schools I'd guess herbology has very average class sizes, but potions would literally be like 10-15 people max (maybe less since this is Snape era).

Snape is stuck with with a class or two of six to eight students and odds are he is going to despise most of them. I just think that's absolutely beautiful and the only thing Dumbledore has even done right.

And then arithmancy and advanced arithmancy!! I cannot believe there is a write in for further maths this is amazing and I can guarantee that again like eight people max are going to take that subject.

Humanities subjects are generally more popular, but I think this might be the one place where I can see wizarding schools separating. History of Magic is incredibly dull, especially at hogwarts (thanks mr binns for ruining my life), and I can see only a few students taking muggle studies because of genuine interest (there HAS to be a majority muggle class here, that would be such an easy pass for them).

Flying is clearly for the sports kids, and for some reason transfiguration gives me english literature vibes.

And astronomy is literally an a level that exists, but I'm guessing it's much more popular in this case.

But yeah, this probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but I saw connections and I wanted to talk about them. If anyone has any questions about this sort of system, I can try and give you an answer, so either hit me up with an ask or leave it in the notes.

#hogwarts mystery #hphm #i spent so much time thinking about this its so stupid but for some reason i just really wanted to talk about it #i think my brain is just excited at the idea of literally doing newts right now #im basically doing potions and herbology how wild is that #also this is based on modern experiences obs but my parents were in school in the 70s so i couls make some guesses with that #and also im a social history nerd #this was mostly so i could figure out the potions class in y6 and y7 #but then i went and hyperfocused on it and now i am storing too much useless information in my brain

Name: Julian Wood Birthday (Age): July 10, 2002 (25) Gender (Pronouns): Male (He/Him) Blood Status: Pureblood Hogwarts House: Gryffindor Occupation: App-stronomer for Wix Wonders Tech Faceclaim: Brenton Thwaites

Character Teaser

It was not a fascination with muggles that spurred Julian on to kill his father’s dream of the perfect chaser trio, but the simple fact that muggles have progressed far beyond the magical world’s wildest dreams. After graduation, he applied to muggle university as a physics major, taking advantage of the Madley Industries prototypes to fit in—only to come back to a magical world steeped into muggle technology. Nowadays he uses his knowledge of muggle physics and magical astronomy to make videos on the world wide wix web (with mixed reviews from the students that watch them and the parents hovering over their shoulders) and program astronomy apps for Wix Wonders Tech (with eager arithmancers on his side). With all of the progress in the last decade, Julian is sure that it’s within his lifetime to reach his goal: to be the first wix to go to space.

Feelings on Magical Integration

There’s so much that the muggle world has discovered, especially considering that their tools for study of astronomy have far outpaced what wixen are dealing with. In spite of the magical world separating themselves from the muggle, the muggle world was still just as fascinated with the skies above. Julian was incredibly limited in what he could use to continue his study upon his return to the magical world, and he knows what muggles are capable of. If they can get to the moon on their own, maybe a little bit of magic can help them get to Mars.

Biography

If Oliver Wood could have seven children, he would—instead he had to live with only three. Julian Wood spent more time on a broomstick than his own two legs and became the default captain of Little League Quidditch. His younger brothers looked up to him and the whole family, save for his stepmother Daphne Greengrass, dreamt of being legends. With the three of them, they could be an unstoppable chaser team. Four years later the Wood brothers were all playing for Gryffindor, their chemistry on the pitch unmatched.

That is until Julian decided to take Muggle Studies.

It was an easy class, he had been told, just enough to get the marks he needed to play for Gryffindor. Why it was an easy class was another story: there were a handful of muggleborns there for the same reason, but not quite the same apathy as those who had grown up in the wizarding world. Julian was eventually pulled into the inside jokes that Muggle Studies was a joke… not because all of it was useless to anyone with a wand, but because muggles have far surpassed what the class was making them out to believe.

His muggleborn friends told him the cold hard facts that were somehow left out of the wizarding curriculum. Muggles not only had bigger telescopes, but they had so many ways to study the stars. So much more existed beyond what they learned in class. Galaxies. Black holes. Dark matter. Hell, muggles knew what Pluto looked like. All Julian could glean were the mysterious buzzwords they tossed around—but one thing that fascinated him the most was that muggles have been exploring space in the last seventy years. There were races about who orbited space first or who got to the moon first, which no book in their library seemed to cover.

Daphne had always been supportive of the Wood brothers’ dreams on the pitch, but she had always advised—or perhaps even hinted at—the possibility that there was an alternative. For the first time, Julian took his studies seriously for a reason that wasn’t meeting the minimum to play in the next match, unsure of why he cared so much now to make sure that he didn’t close the door something different than what he had been destined to be.

Especially since his new obsession seemed to collide in very messy ways with his current one, and he couldn’t find a way to reconcile them. Sure, wixen could design brooms to go higher and faster, but Julian had tried and there was always a limit. He wasn’t sure what subject would be able to push the boundaries, but he passed his Astronomy OWL with an Outstanding. That same year, the Madley Principles of Magic and Technology published their discoveries.

Julian had no doubt that he still loved flying. He still loved Quidditch and he still loved his family. But he turned down the captaincy to catch up on Arithmancy, forcing doors open that weren’t there before. Upon graduation, he spurned the Quidditch recruiters that came to visit, instead set on a ludicrous idea inspired by some light reading from Muggle Studies.

Daisy Hookum’s My Life As A Muggle pushed the envelope for its time, and even Julian had doubts about abandoning everything he knew for something he doesn’t even know would come to fruition. Even his muggleborn friends felt that he was being a little extreme for someone who had grown up in a sheltered magical world, considering that most of them didn’t go back to a world they no longer really belonged in.

But Laura Madley, in her infinite wisdom, thought it was a wonderful experiment; it would be a true test of their work if a wix could use their technology outside of the magical bounds. Julian was provided with the first model of the wizarding smart phone (though at the time the only thing he could do was call Madley Industries for assistance on arithmancy shortcuts he could use on a muggle computer) along with a small stipend and falsified transcripts to attend university.

In the muggle world, astronomy was part of the physics department. Julian soon realized that he was incredibly behind in his coursework even if Transfiguration and Charms prepared him a little for classical mechanics; at the end of the day, he was a wizard and he literally didn’t know how to do math. (Let’s be real, they’re not teaching calculus at Hogwarts.) He swallowed his pride and it turns out, the true meaning of physics was the friends you made along the way, while all of you suffer through all-nighters over pizza then getting trashed at the bar after finals. Still, it was difficult—and a little miserable, really—to keep about 98% of his life secret from the people he had bonded with, so there was a relief when he finished his degree and returned to the wizarding world on a more permanent basis.

Not without consequence, obviously. Julian’s brothers had all given him the cold shoulder, despite the fact that Julian was around for every holiday. He was a disappointment to his father, but at least Daphne braved going to the muggle world to celebrate his second graduation with him. His pureblood friends weren’t eager to have coffee believing that Julian was long lost to the muggle world. He had lost touch with many of his muggleborn friends from Hogwarts, and some were skeptical of (or perhaps even offendedby) his immersion because Julian got to live a life that had perhaps been taken away from them by the virtue of the fact that they were magical and stayed that way.

He had been fortunate that upon his return, the magical world caught the tech craze—and while the world wide wix web flourished within the fingertips of every witch, wizard, and wix, Julian was well aware that his access to information was still limited without the connection to the muggle web.

This also meant that it was up to him to make sure that the magical world had its eyes opened to the possibilities. Inspired by his university professors, he started a video channel that explained the muggle research and discovery within the framework of the astrology that everyone was required to take as a class at Hogwarts. His videos are rather popular with students, though there are more conservative wixen who have sent howlers about his content—to which Julian had to learn to reply back that there were other channels of entertainment for them to follow, if they were so bothered by what he was doing. Even if he did think it was hypocritical of them to use a piece of tech that has non-magical roots, only to criticize something that explained how it all worked.

Chaser or not, Julian was still a Wood through and through. The Wood family motto was all we do is win, and even without his father or his brothers, he would find a way. If not a first-place trophy, then he would be the first in something else. He helped pioneer the muggle immersion program through Madley Industries and became the first pureblood to graduate from muggle university. The first physics graduate to work for a wizarding company, Wix Wonders Tech, where he worked on a wizarding version of the muggle apps that already existed to track the stars and planets.

Yes, it was very lonely at the top. The despondency he felt as the only wix surrounded by muggles was difficult to shake, now that he had all of this knowledge and experience that very few understood. But still, it was experience that formed the truest trophy to be earned on the figurative mantlepiece in Julian’s head: he was going to be the first wix in space.

Connections

Lily Potter: Lily is one of the few wix that tests Julian’s apps, even if Julian himself isn’t comfortable with astrology. He knows that this is one of the markets he’s going to appeal to anyway.

Dominique Weasley: Although they both have very different reasons for being in support of magical integration, Julian appreciates that there’s someone there who feels just as strongly as he does about it. Little do they acknowledge that both of their reasons are a little selfish.

Vale Longbottom: Julian often goes to Vale for help while developing his apps, especially considering Vale’s experience with muggle and magical accessibility tools; however, Julian’s eagerness for more tends to drown out Vale’s suggestions for usefulness.

Julian is played by Pat.

La Fin Des Temps Chapter 11 (Elu Hogwarts AU)

Mardi 10:40 - “I have to take care of something”

Lucas couldn’t stop staring at Eliott, and Eliott couldn’t stop staring at him. If he wasn’t careful, this was really going to get in the way of his studies. He glanced down at his empty worksheet. Well, more than it had already. Neither of them had left the Room of Requirement until Monday morning, when they’d had to because of classes. It had been painful, leaving the haven Lucas knew was going to disappear the minute they left. Even more painful was the fact that they hadn’t been able to sneak in any alone time all day, friends asking too many questions and not leaving them for even a moment. Fortunately, and surprisingly, none of them had even considered the possibility that Lucas and Eliott had been together all weekend. Actually, now that he thought about it, none of them had said anything about Eliott being missing at all. Yann nudged his side, not for the first time during their lesson, concern shining in his eyes.

“I’m starting to understand Imane’s issues with your work ethic, man. I thought you were in the library working all weekend?” he asked. It wasn’t accusatory, but he wasn’t going to let Lucas get away with the same lie he’d been telling since Lucas arrived back in the dormitory Monday morning.

“I was working,” Lucas argued, “Just not on Charms. I had so much shit to do for Potions and Arithmancy.”

“I still don’t understand why you chose Arithmancy over literally any other subject. It’s math, dude.” Yann shook his head incredulously. Lucas shrugged. He really didn’t mind math all that much. The numbers made sense to him, much more sense than pretending they could see the future with some tea leaves like the girls did in Divination. Though, he suspected the only reason they’d all continued Divination was to be in the same class together.

“Where’s Arthur?” Lucas realized suddenly, looking around the room before his gaze landed on Eliott’s again and he blushed involuntarily.

Yann simply looked at him like he was insane. “Dueling club captain? Remember? He had some meeting with the headmistress or something. I swear, Lucas, what’s up with you these days?”

Lucas had to try very hard to pay attention to Yann, eyes moving away from Eliott reluctantly. “What do you mean?”

“This, Friday, everything.” Yann rolled his eyes, snapping a finger in front of his face to get his focus. “Where’s your head at?”

“The same place it’s always at,” Lucas said defensively, but Yann pushed on.

“I’m not buying that. For weeks you’ve been in some sort of a daze. You ditch us all the time without excuse, or say you’re going to the library and don’t show up again for hours, even days. Friday at the meeting you just disappeared and I didn’t see you again until Monday morning. You didn’t respond to texts, Instagram messages, anything.”

“I’m sorry,” Lucas tried.

Yann shook his head. “I don’t need an apology, I just want to know what’s going on with you. You know you can tell me anything, right?”

“Of course,” Lucas said without hesitation. Because he could, he just wasn’t sure he was ready. He didn’t even know what he and Eliott were, if they were dating or what, and he didn’t know if Eliott wanted everyone to know about them. Yann waited for Lucas to continue, so he did, just maybe not with the words Yann wanted. “There’s nothing, though. I swear. I’ve just been a bit out of it, I guess.”

Yann looked determined to press the subject further, but Lucas was saved by their professor asking them to pair up to practice jinxes. As much as Lucas wanted to pair up with Eliott, it would be odd for him to ditch Yann, so he watched helplessly as Eliott and Ian, another Ravenclaw in their year, moved to the other side of the room to practice. Yann followed his gaze.

“Did Arthur tell you that Eliott pulled another disappearing act?” Yann asked as they got in position. Ah, there it was. Frankly, he had been beginning to worry they hadn’t noticed. Lucas fired off a jinx, which Yann blocked with ease.

“No, he didn’t.” Lucas tried to sound uninterested, hoping Yann wouldn’t draw the connection between his and Eliott’s disappearances.

Yann sent a jinx Lucas’ way, just barely missing him and hitting the chair behind him. “Yeah, no one heard from him this weekend either. Did you?”

“Hmm?” Lucas asked. “Did I what?”

“Hear from him?” Yann prompted incredulously.

Maybe if he played dumb Yann would stop talking about Eliott. “Hear from who?”

“Eliott?”

“What about Eliott?”

“Dude, have you been listening? He was missing all weekend, even at the Quidditch match.”

“Huh, weird.”

“So you didn’t hear from him then?”

“Hear what?”

“Where he went?”

“Who?”

“Jesus, Lucas,” Yann nearly yelled in exasperation. This gave Lucas a great opening to hit him with a Jellylegs jinx, one that he’d perfected nonverbally. “Fuck!” Yann exclaimed as Lucas grinned victoriously.

“Sorry,” Lucas shrugged, not sorry at all.

“You little shit, that’s why you were acting so dumb,” Yann laughed, “You were trying to distract me, huh?”

Lucas looked around the room innocently. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Yann smiled at him and it was like everything was normal again, like it had been before Eliott had come in and turned Lucas’ life upside down. He never wanted Eliott out of his life, but it was nice for that moment to remember how to be friends with Yann without feeling the weight of things he was hiding from his best friend. The weight came back a moment later, of course, but Lucas ignored it to the best of his ability, focusing instead on blocking Yann and sending more jinxes his way.

A half hour later, when they left the Charms room, Lucas felt Eliott slip past him and put something in his hand as he passed by. Smooth fucker.

“What’s that?” Yann asked, and Lucas’ hand clenched on the small piece of paper he held until he realized Yann was looking curiously at his neck, right behind his ear. His other hand flew up to the area, hoping Eliott hadn’t left any visible marks there. Yann blinked a few times and then shrugged. “That was weird, I could have sworn there was a hedgehog…”

Lucas nearly breathed a sigh of relief. He’d forgotten about Eliott’s magical drawings. He didn’t know what Eliott had used to draw them on, but they avoided him every time he tried to wash them off, moving across his body whenever he got close. With his luck they’d be there forever, not that he minded. Lucas laughed and raised his eyebrows. “And I’m the one being weird?”

Yann rolled his eyes and waved him off. “Yeah, yeah. Whatever, I’ve gotta get to Muggle Studies. See you at lunch?”

“See you at lunch,” Lucas repeated before heading off in the opposite direction, waiting until Yann was out of sight before unfolding the piece of paper in his hand. It was a two part drawing, the right side showing a raccoon alone in a bathroom, the left side showing a raccoon and hedgehog holding hands together in the bathroom. Lucas almost scoffed at how small the hedgehog was-- he really wasn’t that small-- but was more overcome by appreciation for Eliott. On the back of the paper Eliott’s unique and untidy scrawl had written out ‘Lucas no. 1040 skips potions with Eliott no. 1432’.

Would Imane kill him? Yes, undoubtedly. Did he care, in that moment? Not one bit.

But where did Eliott want to meet him? He flipped the paper back over to look at the drawing, grin spreading over his face as he realized where to go.

As predicted, Eliott was leaning against one of the sinks casually as Lucas entered the bathroom Eliott had followed him into weeks prior. Eliott was smoking a cigarette, changing its smell with his wand every second or so. “Fancy meeting you here,” he said, blowing out smoke.

Lucas took his first few steps slow, then, unable to help himself, closed the rest of the distance between the two of them in a few long strides, smile so wide he thought his face might crack. Eliott cupped his face the instant they met, bringing their lips together in a heartstopping kiss.

Lucas wrapped his arms around Eliott’s neck, rising up on his toes to reach Eliott better. Eliott, ever the quick thinker, flipped them so Lucas was pressed against the sinks and lifted him up onto the countertop, positioning himself between Lucas’ legs. “This works,” Lucas murmured against Eliott’s lips, pressing their foreheads together.

“You know,” Eliott began, playing with Lucas’ tie, “This looks really great on you, but it’s getting in the way, don’t you think?”

“Funny, I was about to say the same thing.”

Eliott grinned and undid his own tie, leaving Lucas to do the same, discarding his robes and jumper as well. Naturally, this was the one day they both decided to wear full uniforms. Eliott unbuttoned a few of the top buttons on Lucas’ shirt as well, placing his palm against Lucas’ chest before leaving a trail of kisses from his neck to his heart. Lucas was barely breathing, breathing in gasps, one hand clenched in Eliott’s hair, the other gripping the sink beside him.

He lowered his head and brought Eliott’s face to his, letting their mouths meet once more. Nothing would ever compare to this feeling, to the taste of Eliott’s lips, his tongue, his everything. If it wasn’t a completely reckless and terrible idea to strip down right then and there, where anyone could walk in, Lucas would have in an instant.

Blinking at the thought, Lucas pulled back, muttering as Eliott moved his mouth back down to Lucas’ collarbone. “Eliott, Eliott, stop for a minute.”

Eliott stopped immediately, looking at Lucas with the expression of a confused puppy. It was adorable, but Lucas didn’t have time to appreciate it fully. He pointed to the door. “We should… I don’t know. Anyone could walk in.”

Eliott’s brows creased further. “Didn’t you see the out of order sign I put on the door?”

He hadn’t paid attention to much of anything as he’d hurried to the bathroom, tunnel vision on Eliott, even from corridors away. “Um… no,” he admitted.

“Well, I put one there,” Eliott laughed.

“Do you really think it will work?”

“Let’s find out.” He pulled Lucas in by the neck and crashed their lips together. Any worries Lucas had were immediately obliterated from his mind. Eliott’s out of order sign was sure to do the trick. Eliott unbuttoned Lucas’ shirt a bit further, sliding the sleeves off his shoulders so he could kiss them. As he did so, Lucas repeated the gesture, leaving a kiss on Eliott’s chest with each button he undid.

Eliott let out a soft gasp. “You’re gonna fucking kill me if you keep doing that.”

“Do you want me to stop?” Lucas’ lips twisted into a cocky smirk.

“No. Not now, not ever.” Lucas grinned as Eliott brought Lucas’ face up to his, exploring each others mouths like there was nothing else in the world left to explore. To Lucas, there wasn’t. Except perhaps the rest of Eliott’s body, the few lines and muscles he had left to commit to memory. Eliott’s hand brushed his cheekbone and Eliott pulled away from him just enough to exhale a small, breathy laugh.

“What? Do I have something on my face?” Lucas teased.

Eliott laughed a bit harder. “Yes, actually.”

Lucas spun around from his seat on the countertop, glancing into the mirror. “Wait, really?” He studied his reflection, catching a glimpse of a raccoon taking the hand of a hedgehog and pulling him out of view. Lucas couldn’t help but laugh himself.

“These little guys are never going away, I hope you know what you’ve done,” Lucas said seriously. Eliott leaned down to brush his lips against Lucas’ shoulder, the hedgehog resting there blushing as he did so.

He tilted his head back up, supermodel eyes full of humor and searing into Lucas. “You think I didn’t do that on purpose? You’ll be old and wrinkled and gray and these two will pop up on your bald head when you least expect it.”

“Bold of you to assume I’ll ever go bald,” Lucas scoffed.

“I mean, with all that hairspray…”

“Shut up!” Lucas pressed his hands to Eliott’s chest. “Besides, you told Yann you liked it.”

“I mostly just like you,” Eliott confessed. “Everything about you.”

Lucas blushed against his will. Eliott really needed to stop feeding his ego. At the same time, he hoped Eliott would never stop. “Wait a minute,” he giggled, “Your amortentia… the last thing was my hairspray wasn’t it?”

Now it was Eliott’s turn to go red. “No.”

Lucas laughed harder. “It so was.”

“I don’t know where you’d get that preposterous idea.”

“Mmmm, sure.”

Eliott looked down with a smile, glancing back up at Lucas through his eyelashes. “Besides, you with your cigarette smoke, ink, paint, rain… not very subtle.” Lucas pretended to be offended, hands dancing up and down Eliott’s mostly bare chest.

“So what, I had a crush on you. Turned out all right for me, didn’t it?”

“Awww, you had a crush on me? That’s so sweet.” Eliott’s eyes crinkled at the sides the way Lucas loved.

He shoved Eliott away playfully. “Oh shut up, you had a crush on me too.”

Eliott grabbed onto Lucas’ hand, and Lucas pulled him back in close. “You’re right,” Eliott admitted, “You’re just either the world’s most oblivious person, or I need to up my flirting game.”

“I’m not oblivious,” Lucas huffed.

“Then why did I have to wait four whole weeks to kiss you?” Eliott wasn’t whining exactly, but there was a neediness to his playful tone that Lucas was getting very turned on by, if he was being completely honest with himself.

“Maybe you were the oblivious one,” Lucas suggested. Eliott wrinkled his nose, shaking his head. “Me? Oblivious? Never.”

The look he gave Lucas reminded him of Ouba’s face when she wanted treats, and it was more endearing than Lucas cared to admit. “Fine, fine, we’re both oblivious, useless, disaster gays, blah blah blah.”

“I’m pan, technically,” Eliott pointed out.

“Oh, just shut up and kiss me.”

Eliott didn’t wait a single second longer, kissing Lucas again. And again.

And again.

Lucas wasn’t entirely sure how long they sat there, him on the counter, Eliott between his legs, kissing like the world was about to end. They only stopped when Lucas’ phone buzzed, jarring them back to the present. He was stunned to find that he had multiple messages from his friends through Instagram.

monvoisintuturo: Lulu, at least give a heads up if you’re going to skip potions

basile_simple: He’s missing again? We need to put a bell on him or something

y4z4s: What are you guys talking about? I saw him going to class after Charms

monvoisintuturo: Well he clearly didn’t make it…

y4z4s: Should we still wait for you for lunch, Lucas?

monvoisintuturo: I wonder if Eliott knows where he is

basile_simple: Oh yeah, man, add Eliott to the chat

monvoisintuturo: I can’t, he doesn’t follow me. Only Lulu can

basile_simple: I’m still confused by that

y4z4s: By what?

basile_simple: Eliott following Lucas!

y4z4s: Oh, Lucas said it was some sort of bet or something

basile_simple: That’s anticlimactic

Lucas checked the time quickly and realized lunch was about to start. Fuck, he really needed to go. Had he and Eliott really spent the entire period kissing in the not-so out of order bathroom? It wasn’t the worst way to spend his time, he supposed.

He started buttoning his shirt back up in a rush, catching Eliott’s confused gaze as he hopped down from the counter. Shirt, jumper, robes, tie, fuck, where were all his clothes?

“Lunch,” he said by way of explanation.

Eliott still looked confused. “And…”

“The boys will kill me if I go MIA again. I’m sure Imane is about ready to kill me already.” He shivered at the thought, hoping Imane and Harriet had at least been able to vent to one another about their respective potions partners.

Finally dressed, he rushed to the door, turning around when he realized Eliott wasn’t following, hadn’t even redressed himself yet. “Are you coming?”

Eliott blushed a violent shade of scarlet. “I have to take care of something.”

“What-- oh,” Lucas began, faltering when he saw the awkward way Eliott was positioned. He laughed a little bit and Eliott rolled his eyes. “Unless you want to take care of it for me?” Eliott suggested, and it was Lucas’ turn to blush. In truth, he did want that, more than anything, but he also wanted to live long enough to do it again, so he really had to go.

“See you in the Great Hall,” Lucas said a bit breathlessly. Eliott smirked, knowing exactly what he was doing to Lucas.

“See you in the Great Hall.” Eliott didn’t move, gaze still fastened onto Lucas’ face. Lucas didn’t move an inch either, wishing to stay in the bathroom with Eliott for just one more second. His phone buzzed again, and they broke eye contact.

“I’m going to go now,” Lucas said, unconvincingly, but he willed his feet to carry him the rest of the way to the door and they did. He cast one more glance back at Eliott, memorizing the way he smiled back at Lucas, tucking the memory away to think of when they inevitably had to part for the day.

Before he could lose all his self control and run back into Eliott’s embrace, Lucas pushed the door open, tearing away the out of order sign as he did so, throwing it into a bin as he rushed to the Great Hall.

Luckily or unluckily for him, all his friends were already seated when he walked in. Eliott and Daphne’s seating arrangement protest had been embraced by nearly the entire school, though both the girls and the boys were sitting together at the Gryffindor table today. Arthur was the first to notice him walk in, scooting over so Lucas could take a seat between himself and Manon.

Imane wasn’t glaring daggers at him as he approached, but analyzing him carefully through narrowed eyes. Her stare was so intense that he couldn’t meet her eyes, feeling a bit like she was drawing some conclusions about him that he wasn’t sure he wanted her to draw. Thankfully, she didn’t say anything, just kept staring.

He tried to act casual as he sat down, but he couldn’t help but notice everyone had stopped talking, eyes on him. Manon was the first to speak, bless her, not even mentioning his lateness or anything out of the ordinary. “So, Lucas, did you hear about the--”

She was cut off by Daphne, who smiled at Lucas apologetically. “You know that the opposite house dress week isn’t until next week, right?”

Lucas furrowed his brows. He did know this, why was she bringing it up? He nodded slowly, carefully.

“Oh, cool, well then, um,” she continued, glancing briefly at Emma out of the corner of her eye, “Why are you wearing a Ravenclaw tie?”

Putain.

He tried not to look down at his tie-- or, Eliott’s, rather-- as he floundered for an excuse. “Obviously I know that your dress thingy isn’t until next week. But I thought, hey, what if some people don’t know about it yet? If I wear the wrong tie, people will ask questions, and if they ask questions, I’ll get to explain to them the inter-house unity club dress challenge, or whatever you want to call it. That way more people will participate.”

Daphne squealed and leaned over to him, pulling him into an awkward hug over the table. “Lucas! You’re the best! Why didn’t I think of doing that?”

Everyone else seemed less enthusiastic about his response. Manon and Imane exchanged a glance,-- he didn’t even want to know what that meant, though he could probably guess-- Emma narrowed her eyes once before shrugging and accepting his excuse without argument, Basile and Alexia simply looked confused, Yann looked like he wanted to believe him, and Arthur seemed to be moments away from solving a puzzle. Lucas hoped Arthur’s puzzle wasn’t close to the real reason he was wearing the wrong tie. Eliott’s tie.

Fuck, Eliott would be there any minute. Lucas had to find a way to head him off before he could make the situation worse. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to message Eliott, thankful his friends had mostly gone back to their own conversations.

lucallemant: Don’t come to the Great Hall

srodulv: i’m almost there… what’s wrong?

lucallemant: Look at your tie

Lucas bounced his knee under the table as he waited for Eliott to respond. Just their luck. He wasn’t totally opposed to the idea of telling his friends about them, but they didn’t even know he was gay. Plus, this wasn’t the most ideal setting, and he didn’t know what to call his relationship with Eliott, if he could even call it a relationship. In all their talking, somehow it hadn’t come up.

“Where did you get the tie?” Arthur asked, and Lucas bumped his knee under the table in surprise, flipping his phone over.

“I, uh, found it,” he mumbled distractedly, trying to appear nonchalant.

Clearly, neither Yann nor Arthur were convinced. Yann pointed out, “You were wearing your Gryffindor tie when you left Charms.”

“Yeah, where did you go, anyway? Imane looked ready to kill when you didn’t show up,” Arthur chimed back in.

“I felt… sick,” Lucas tried. The boys raised their eyebrows.

“Sick?” Arthur repeated slowly. Lucas nodded.

“I think something didn’t sit right with me during breakfast, and, you know.” He shot them all a meaningful glance. Arthur choked on his food and looked Lucas up and down once.

“Dude did you shit your pants?”

“What? No!” Lucas exclaimed incredulously, breaking into nervous laughter. “But you can see why I skipped potions, then.”

Arthur snorted. “Yeah, yeah. Do what you gotta do, man. Although, it would have been funny to see Rigaux’s reaction if you shit yourself in her class.”

Lucas couldn’t help but laugh along with his friends, shoving Arthur playfully. This explanation seemed to do it for them, though, and Lucas took their new distraction with Basile’s weird eating habits as an excuse to check his phone. He had three new messages from Eliott.

srodulv: merde

srodulv: i’m guessing our friends noticed?

srodulv: what did you say?

It warmed his heart a bit, to see Eliott say ‘our friends’ instead of ‘your friends’. He was glad that Eliott considered the girls and boys to be his friends as well. He knew they felt the same about Eliott.

lucallemant: I made up some bs excuse about helping raise inter house unity club awareness. Not sure if everyone bought it, but they let the subject drop

srodulv: oh

srodulv: not that now is the best time to… explain things, but do you not want your friends to know about us?

Lucas noted the shift from our to your. Did Eliott really think Lucas would be ashamed of him? It was too absurd to even consider.

lucallemant: No, it’s not that, I just didn’t know if you did

lucallemant: Plus none of them know I’m, you know…

srodulv: gay?

lucallemant: Ha ha, yeah, that

srodulv: no rush or anything, i don’t want you to feel pressured…

Lucas chewed on his bottom lip. He didn’t feel pressured at all, and maybe that’s why he made a split second decision.

lucallemant: I think I want them to know

srodulv: really?

lucallemant: I mean, maybe not today, but soon. This weekend…?

srodulv: :)

lucallemant: Yeah?

srodulv: yeah. does this mean i get to call you my boyfriend?

Lucas had to try very, very, hard to keep from reacting in the slightest, but he was almost positive a bright blush had spread over his face. Boyfriend. That was new, but Lucas found that he quite liked it.

lucallemant: Boyfriend, huh?

srodulv: …?

lucallemant: I think I’d like that, mon mec

srodulv: yeah?

lucallemant: Yeah.

srodulv: <3

lucallemant: Stop that, I have a reputation to uphold

srodulv: <333333

Lucas rolled his eyes, but couldn’t help the smile working its way over his face. Eliott would be the death of him. Manon nudged his side gently. “You good?” Her face looked more concerned than a smile usually warranted. Did he really smile so little that this sign of happiness made her wary?

“I’m great,” he answered truthfully, slipping his phone back into his pocket.

Her brows twitched. “Ouais?”

He nearly laughed. He’d gotten so used to only speaking French with Eliott that he’d nearly forgotten it was his and Manon’s thing first. “Ouais,” he assured her.

Lucas tried to turn his attention back to his other friends, avoiding the small smile that twitched at the corner of Manon’s mouth, basically confirming she knew more than she was letting on. “Justin Bieber? Seriously? Where is this kid, I need to have a word with him about his music taste,” Arthur was ranting.

“What?” Lucas asked. Yann showed Lucas his phone screen and Lucas nearly choked in surprise.

That was how they were playing this, then? Lucas tuned out the rest of the conversation, searching for a different song. They really were going to be the most annoying couple ever, even if no one knew it yet. Lucas really couldn’t find it in himself to care one bit, because Eliott was his boyfriend. Eliott Demaury. His boyfriend. God, he was so happy.

How are you doing these Harry Potter divinations? It’s really interesting but I’m confused on the process

HP ARITHMANCY EXPLAINED

Thank you for giving me an excuse to nerd out!!!

In the world of Arithmancy and Numerology, words have power. Names are not arbitrary and convey information about the nature of the object or person given that name (that’s why when you hear a certain name, you have certain mental constructs of how that person might behave or look).

We can tap into this magic through math. Letters correspond to numbers. A=1, B=2, etc. Numbers greater than 10 can be reduced even further by adding the two digits together (10=1+0=1). So, Z=26 can be reduced even further to 2+6=8, so Z=8… keeping this in mind you can build a chart of letters like the one below.

Using this chart, you can calculate the number related to any word.

CHARACTER NUMBERS

Character numbers define your general personality and are the result of your whole name. Take ardentmuse for instance:

a+r+d+e+n+t+m+u+s+e=

1+9+4+5+5+2+4+3+1+5= 39

3+9= 12

1+2= 3

So ardentmuse has a character number of 3.

All 9 numbers represent traits and personalities characteristics, as follows.

1 - a solitary unit - charismatic, enthusiastic, influential

2 - a dual soul - peaceful, sweet, harmonious

3 - a complete unit (beginning, middle, end) - creative, easy-going, energetic

4 - like four legs - thoughtful, logical, durable

5 - like the human body - adventurous, passionate, witty

6 - the number of Venus - loyal, emotional, people-oriented

7 - the number of the occult - perceptive, introspective, imaginative

8 - the number of success - focused, hard-working, practical

9 - the number of wisdom - charitable, discerning, inspiring

HEART NUMBERS

Heart numbers indicate inner desires (your heart’s pursuit) and are constructed with the vowels only.

So ardentmuse would be aeue or 1+5+3+5=14=5

SOCIAL NUMBERS

Social numbers define your outward persona, the sort of aura you give when dealing with others. These are constructed with consonants only.

So ardentmuse would be rdntms=9+4+5+2+4+1=25=7

HOW ARE THESE USED

Generally, people are drawn to things that share their character number because they are believed to give off the same energy as the individual. For example, my favorite dog breed, the Flat-Coated Retriever, is also a 3. My favorite drink, a London Fog, is also a 3. The Good Place is a 3. My baby’s name is a five, which makes sense because he fulfills a desire of my heart to be a mother.

(Oddly enough, 3,5,7 are also the numbers of my full maiden name! I think I was drawn to ardentmuse as a username because it gives the same energy as I do as a person).

WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING

I made a giant excel with characters and objects and houses and classes, etc and used an excel formula listed below to get there numbers. Then I am generating your numbers and picking you life based on things that correspond. Kindred spirits share character numbers, lovers share heart numbers, and best friends share social numbers. Everything else shares character except occasionally career, which can be heart.

SOME HELPFUL THINGS

If you wish to do this in excel, here is the equation to get the character number of any words. =MOD(SUMPRODUCT(MOD(CODE(MID(SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),“ ”,“”), ROW(INDIRECT(“1:”&LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,“ ”,“”)))),1))+2,9)+1)-1,9)+1

If you want a nice quick way to get all three, you can use this site: https://www.beyondhogwarts.com/cgi-bin/amancalc.cgi?name=

Below the cut are all the Harry Potter, Marvel, and Kingsman characters I have done so you can find your soul’s match too!

Numbers and Predictions

WHO: Benito Ortiz and Imogen Connolly WHEN: Tuesday, February 21st, 1978. 10:26AM. WHERE: The Potions Classroom

Benito held the door aloft for Imogen, as he did every time they walked through a doorway together. Around his right shoulder was the strap of a bookbag, which fell to rest just around his thigh. Clutched in his right hand (which was also holding the doorknob) was a crumbled up piece of parchment. In his left hand, his fingers were intertwined with Imogen’s in a light and casual show of affection. Potions class was beginning, and the sixth year Ravenclaw and Hufflepuffs that attended the class were slowly filing in. Benito headed in the direction of their usual table-- on the far left of the room, near to the back, but not quite.

“I told you that assignment was bullshit.” Benito said grumpily, dropping down onto his stool. His bookbag fell into a heap onto the ground, and he dropped the crumpled parchment into the middle of their table. Letting go of Imogen’s hand, he unraveled it, and held it out for her to see -- again. “A fucking D?!” He said, shaking his head. He’d complained about his grade the entire walk from their early morning Arithmancy class to their mid-morning Potions class. “Dreadful!” He held it out further, this time for her to read. “Are my maths really dreadful?”

nct hogwarts!au [doyoung]

gryffindor

mostly because he asked to be there

he thinks it’s the only house that’s good enough

(sounds more like a slytherin tbh)

half blooded

has the arrogance of a pure blood tho

in the frog choir

thinks he’s the leader of the choir

always tryna get people to join the choir

no one has time for it tho

or the meetings he claims are really important and top secret

but are really about how he should have a solo song next performance

everyone goes because it’s in the room of requirement

and there’s snacks

never shuts up tbh

always putting his hand up in class for literally everything

the answer

((half the time not even the right one))

more questions

((probably like 60% irrelevant))

but it did get him a job as the quidditch commentator

(he lowkey uses that as a #spon for the choir most of the time tho)

hangs around with johnny and jaehyun

has no time for johnny really though

only wants to associate with Gryffindors lowkey

gets salty when TY and ten sit at the Gryffindor table at lunch

doesn’t really get on with ten (or johnny)

he has too many things to say about slytherins

and any house that isn’t Gryffindor lbr

catch him in the library studying a little too hard because he wants to beat taeil for top of the class

probably thinks he would’ve made a better headboy than him

wants to prove the point

has a pet rat called cat food

wasn’t thrilled when his parents gave it to him as his “””going away present””””

is actually really fond of him but will never ever admit it

his fav class is arithmancy because it’s just so easy for him????

is always lowkey scamming people out of money with bets

Welcome again to Aparecium, Pat! You have been accepted for Julian Wood with the fc Brenton Thwaites (Sorry to everyone else for the name switcheroo, but Pat was hoping to be sneaky). You always create such detailed and interesting characters, and we love how all-in Julian is related to muggle integration. Check out the new member checklist, and jump right in.

CHARACTER BASICS

Birthday (Age): July 10 (25) Gender (Pronouns): Cisgender Male, he/him Sexuality: Demisexual Blood Status: Pureblood Hogwarts House/School: Gryffindor Occupation: App-stronomer for Wix Wonders Tech Faceclaim: Brenton Thwaites (alt. Charlie Rowe, Grant Gustin) Any requested changes? Literally if there’s anything in here I have to change let me know and I’ll get right on it!

BIOGRAPHY

That is until Julian decided to take Muggle Studies.

CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE

How does your character feel about their family?

Once upon a time, Julian’s brothers were his best friends. He wanted so much to share his passions with them, and maybe he did when he had first learned about dark matter in school. He eventually realized that he didn’t want to bore them with what would be (at the time) psychobabble, so he kept it to himself. There came a point in time that the only thing they could talk about was Quidditch, and Julian didn’t mind that their relationship was on a mutual interest—up until Julian left school. Julian is aware that his brothers think that he betrayed them, and he hasn’t made an attempt to reconcile. He doesn’t think it’s worth the effort to be rebuffed.

As much as he knew he was disappointing his brothers, he knew how much of a blow this would be to Oliver’s dream, coupled with the fact that there was no such thing as privacy in the life of a professional athlete. If Adrian Pucey was scorned for having a squib daughter, then Julian wasn’t sure how much his father had been shamed when he chose to run off and be a muggle for the better part of four years. Still, Julian had heard worse stories: he hadn’t been burned off any family trees yet, but he still wishes that his father understood that their passions were, in essence, one and the same.

From what Julian was aware of, Daphne had no idea what the difference between a quaffle and a bludger was when she first met Oliver. How the two of them managed to get married eventually was a mystery to Julian, but he appreciated her as the voice of reason in his late teens. That didn’t mean she wasn’t a skeptic when Julian revealed his plan after having talked to Laura Madley, nor was he unaware that she was making a sacrifice when she ventured deeper into the muggle world than she had ever gone before—just to make sure he wasn’t by himself when he put on a mortarboard and walked down the aisle. He hasn’t told her yet that he plans to go to space; even that’s a little much for her to handle.

What does your character value in a friendship?

Julian has met quite a cast of characters when he went to university, and he wants to see dependability in his friends. He knows what it’s like to be the one dallying on a group project or the one struggling with a homework assignment—while at the same time, he’s impatient when he’s the one on top of things. Even if he was the one that left the magical world, he feels like he’s been abandoned and he needs people to rely on. Even though he knows there’s a lot that he’s got to take on alone, he needs his friends to walk up that hill alongside him.

How would your character describe their own work ethic? Is that an accurate measure of themself?

After four years of school, Julian’s got binders full of assignments and pages of calculations to show for the fact that he would say he worked pretty hard to get to the top. However, he thinks he’s finished with the hard part, meaning that the mental work of knowing and understanding muggle science and reconciling it with the magical education he had, not realizing that the magical world isn’t going to team up with the muggle space agencies overnight. Even while working on his app, Julian tends to take shortcuts that he considers “efficient”, though sometimes it’s more work to go back and explain what he was trying to do and fix whatever he missed.

How would a stranger who has just met your character describe them?

It depends on the stranger—but overall, it’s going to be a little strange to interact with him regardless. To a muggle, Julian is a wonderful handsome young man, who, for some reason, doesn’t have a phone number, so that’s a little weird. He also tends to pause a lot and really think about what he’s got to say, especially since his early muggle days had a lot of bullshitting involved and he’s not a great liar. His experience at university has given him more stories to draw upon, but he’s still afraid of mix up the two worlds he’s straddling.

To a wix, Julian is a wonderful handsome young man, who, for some reason, looks like he’s judging you. While he appreciates magic for what it’s capable of, there’s a hint of frustration bubbling underneath, knowing that the bulk of magical folk are still either on the fence about integration or staunchly against it. He thinks he knows more than everyone around him when he’s in the wizarding world, and it seems like that ego was probably inherited from Oliver himself—it’s very much a Wood family trait to believe that the world revolves around you.

What magical skill or talent is your character most proud of?

Magical skill? Quite honestly, he missed flying the most. He was rather lithe for a chaser and his broom skills were fantastic when he still played. He’s actually still good with a broom, though he can’t quite do stunts as much as he did when he was at school. A part of him wants to try out for one of the local Quidditch teams but he’s afraid he’ll get laughed off the pitch. Aside from his other research accomplishments, Julian still holds Gryffindor’s victories dearly—a momento of the time when his own selfishness didn’t get in the way of her interpersonal relationships in the magical world.

PARA SAMPLE

“Oh—you got me a poster.” Julian couldn’t help but be a little disappointed at the rolled up paper that Ramona had brought him, tied at the ends with her muggle hairties. He started unravelling it as Ramona leaned back into her seat. The train lurched forward and the station slid out of view. Julian didn’t even look out the window for his parents, but neither were his brothers. They were all really doing the same thing, moving through the compartments and finding their friends.

“Late birthday present—or congrats on not getting trolled on your OWLs?” Ramona explained. The pun had been lost on Julian, and he didn’t notice her roll her eyes. Still, he was hoping for something a little more than a poster. Then again, he shouldn’t be expecting any gifts at all; his birthday had been weeks ago, and OWL results were sent weeks before that. She did, however, call him out on his bullshit. “Don’t be such a brat about it, Julian!”

There was a reddish sphere with a pale heart across its front. Julian squinted and extended his arms, not really sure what he was looking at. “You said it was a birthday gift, not a Valentine’s day—”

He was quickly interrupted by a smack in the head with the notepad he didn’t see her take from her bag. “It’s Pluto.”

“The planet?”

“No, the dog.” The joke had been lost on Julian again, and Ramona gave a dramatic sigh. “I swear they’re not teaching us anything in this class. That photo was taken by a NASA spacecraft in 2015—”

There were so many words that Ramona had said in her last sentence that Julian waved to interrupt. What the hell was a nah-suh? Or a space-cracked? And what is it with muggles without their moving pictures? Julian managed to pick something to ask her first. “Wait, 2015? This was like, three years ago! Muggles already know what Pluto looks like?”

His disappointment shifted to wonder, his hands were still outstretched and looking at the heart on the surface of the planet. He bit his lip, a somber longing rising in his chest. He had more questions, some that he wasn’t sure Ramona could answer, and many that couldn’t be formulated yet because he didn’t have the words.

“Yeah, and they have high-res photos of every other planet, asteroid, and moon you could think of.”

“What does high-rest mean?”

“Oh my god—it means that they have like, super detailed pictures of stuff.”

Julian nodded, then carefully rolled up the poster again. It could go above his bed; he was sure he could make room with all of the other Quidditch posters he had already hanging. Viktor Krum could shift a little to the left, he was sure. But he knew one thing for certain as he wound the hairties around the ends again. “Muggles apparently have way cooler shit than we do, don’t they?”

A small knock at the door interrupted them. “Anything from the trolley, dears?”

Feelings on Magical Integration

Connections

Thom Nguyen: While she wasn’t the one who introduced Julian to astronomy and space travel, Julian still enjoyed asking her questions about the muggle world. Nowadays he enjoys her updates on Quidditch.

Molly Weasley: If her muggle mother could make waves in the wizarding community, then Julian could survive being a wizard in the muggle world. She was the one who first posited the idea of muggle immersion based on Daisy Hookum’s book, and introduced him to her aunt and mother.

Fred Weasley: Even though Julian had intended to do a full immersion into muggle university, he was always surprised crossed paths with a few people from Hogwarts—and it was a bit of a relief to be able to talk about his primary school experiences instead of making things up about being on the football team.

Adrian Pucey: Julian comes into Muggle Magics often enough that he’s asked Adrian to let him know the next time the shop has model rockets.

Yariel Florez: To Yariel, Julian’s a nice guy, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that Julian’s obsessed with a world that neither of them belong in. Yariel left it behind, but he doesn’t understand why Julian can’t leave it alone.

Nikhail Ollivander: Julian works across the street from the wand shop and has helped him connect to other wandmakers around the world. He’s tried to talk Nikhail into selling phone and tablet cases in addition to wand holsters.

Dierdra Jones: Julian hadn’t been present for her meteoric rise—as much as he’d like to call himself a fan, he feels like he’s just jumping on the bandwagon.

Raphael Selwyn: When they met at Hogwarts, both of them had big shoes to fill. But if there’s one thing Julian doesn’t understand, it’s that he has something to prove and Raphael has everything to lose.
