biography key points.

alastor was raised in pureblood society, the youngest of four sons of renowned aurors winston and lyanna moody. 

growing up he was spoiled and conceited, never wanting for anything but knowing he could get whatever he wanted, he was brilliant but lazy, with more to offer on the quidditch pitch than in the classroom. 

with his brothers already carrying on the family legacy as aurors, alastor dreamed of becoming a international quidditch sensation.

when alastor was 16 years old he lost his entire family at the hands of dark wizards seeking revenge. the only reason he survived was because he was at hogwarts. the moody family was greatly respected and an immediate investigation was launched by the ministry, the wizards responsible were apprehended and sent to azkaban. 

alastor chose to become an auror to honor his family as they had been killed for doing their jobs, for doing what was right. 

he tries to live up to the family name but it’s getting harder with each day.

he comes off as harsh and aloof, but is a big softie on the inside, he just tries to keep people at arm’s length because he’s lost so many people.

    ⸻     THE OFFICE OF THE MIISTER FOR MAGIC  is  often  somewhere  that  LUCIUS ABRAXAS MALFOY can  be  found  scheming and  charming ,  the  thirty year old  that's  often  confused  for  bill skarsgard  is  known  for  being  AMBITIOUS  ,  but  maybe  that's  why  the  sorting  hat  had  them  in  SLYTHERIN  while  in  school  ,  but  they  can  still  be  very  CRUEL  according  to  their  friends  .  currently  they  are  WORKING  as  JUNIOR MEMBER at  THE  WIZENGAMONT and  if  rumors  are  said  to  be  true  about  the  brewing  war  ,  they  would  surely  side  with VOLDEMORT    .     ⸻     (  cismale  +  he/him  +  chaotic bisexual.  )

ORIGINS & FAMILY: Name: Lucius Abraxas Malfoy Nicknames:  Luc ( at your own risk ) Birthday: August 3, 1950 Place of Birth: Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England Places Lived Since: Hogwarts, gallivanting about Europe Current Residence: Townhouse in London Notable Family Members: Abraxas Malfoy ( father ); Celine Malfoy ( mother, deceased )

PHYSICAL: Faceclaim: Bill Skarsgård Height: 6’4 Build: athletic Hair Color: dirty blonde Eye Color: green Jewelry? Tattoos? Piercings?: Malfoy signet ring, several hidden tattoos, no piercings Unique Mannerisms/Physical Habits: messing with his ring, smoking when he’s stressed, charm and manipulation

PERSONALITY: Occupation: Junior Member at the Wizengamot Affiliation: the Dark Lord Languages Spoken: English, French, Latin, Ancient Greek Positive Traits: charming, ambitious, meticulous, devoted, clever Negative Traits: manipulative, cruel, arrogant, selfish, harsh Likes: the hours just before sunrise, black coffee, challenges, a well-aged scotch Dislikes: being lied to, places that lack history, feeling out of control, nicknames Aesthetic: the inherent hubris of being young, wealthy, and powerful; this house is not haunted – you are; physical intimacy like a drug—only this touch makes you feel real, feel something; ancient archives full of dusty, heavy magic and lore; a face crafted for tragedy; oh golden boy, don’t act like you were kind, you were awful every time.

HISTORY :

ONE:

Your father is not a kind man, not by any sense of the word. He is not a good man, nor a good father, he has never been affectionate or encouraging, never saw you as anything more than a pawn for his own political gain. That golden boy, that perfect child – how could you be anything but a disappointment the very first time you expressed an opinion that was completely your own? You have your mother’s eyes, and he hates you for this – that woman he loved and killed with his relentless pursuit of power.

Being a Malfoy wasn’t enough for him, and maybe that was something driven into him by his own father – you never knew your grandfather and once might have been soft enough to feel something. It was enough for you, once. You loved these haunted halls, the sloping lawns, and misty twisty hedges – back when you still idolized your father, regardless of his faults.

Oh golden boy – don’t act like you were ever innocent. But then, you have always been a sucker, a masochist. And he has crafted you into his own image, nurtured that latent cruelty you once feared, gave you an outlet, and a purpose. Your father thinks you are a weapon to be aimed at his will, but you alone know what this cost; and what you are willing to risk for a taste of power and influence. Besides, he’s old now, his memory is failing….

TWO:

“What was the first bit of magic you ever performed?”  She laughs, moonlight floating through the open window, illuminating curves and curls. “I’m serious,” you press, that slow smirk tugging at your lips. “What is the very first magic you did -- not in school, not under controlled circumstances, but the very first time?”

“Hm,” she sits up, reaching for the glass of cognac you abandoned earlier in the evening and takes a sip. She’s gorgeous, the wife of a much older French Ministry official whom your father has send you here to learn from. “My grandfather has a vineyard in the Loire valley, do you know of it?” You nod but say nothing. “They say – I was too young to really remember it you see – that I made an entire field of vines burst into bloom in the middle winter!” She laughs, it's a beautiful melodic sound. “Why? Why does it matter?”

“And have you ever been able to replicate it? Something that powerful and spontaneous?”

She seems to wilt under the intensity of your gaze, a decorative ornament pressed beyond their purpose. You’re already pulling away, reaching for a cigarette which you light in a bit of wandless magic that’s more for show than actually impressive.

“Lucius, why would I ever need to worry about agricultural magic?”

“Obviously that’s not what I meant,” she hears the slightest edge in your voice and does not continue. You should tell her to leave, you’ve both gotten all you can from the other person, why linger over philosophical musings? But you’re still young, still foolish enough to mistake clever smiles and quick remarks for actual substances – or maybe you’re just too stubborn to not make your point, so you press on.

“It's not about the specifics of what you did, it's about the power and sheer will behind this first rush of magic. How can children so easily achieve something that for grown wizards requires years of study and practice?”

She laughs again, and you realize you would quickly come to find the sound annoying. Your gaze turns icy.

“The infamous Lucius Malfoy, a secret scholar and philosopher? Who would have ever thought?”

She’s trying to draw you back in, hands drifting across your chest and reaching for the cigarette. But you’re already gone, plotting your escape and spinning a web of lies and possible blackmail – insurance, should she decide to get angry and make a scene. You’ve always had a talent for self-preservation, even as the Malfoy name seems naturally imbued with a shield charm – all allegations and rumors easily deflected. Manipulation you learn at your father’s knee, and so you extract yourself from her embrace and walk into the ensuite.

“You should go, I have an early portkey back to London tomorrow.”

Middle child among two sisters, andromeda had to learn to fend for herself. good girl, good daughter, good sister. all of these were just empty nicknames that she thought were worth continuing in that family, nurturing and still serving that family. second-born. like blood on snow, always bruised but never touched or revered.

her whole life as the perfect daughter her parents wanted, but never enough. Always skilled enough, but never good enough. Always the angel but never a god.

waves, shy smiles, robotic touches. all of this was to simply be nobody, not to be noticed.

In her dreams, she could still feel his mom hand warming her, needing her, and she fell into the depths of her dreams as she dreamed of her childhood again, her true face again. She's just a girl who had to grow up too much. she wanted to save herself from herself, but how? she never could, she was made to be quiet, good, enough.

At hogwarts, she was an escape from herself. She was always good enough to be noticed, but never good enough to be admired. Because of this, she decided to dedicate herself to her studies. When she left Hogwarts, she decided to work as a curse-breaker. She thought that at least she would stop thinking about her constant, dark thoughts.

𝓲. kind,  loyal,  fair,  an  affinity  for  animals  …  it  was  no  surprise  that  amos  was  sorted  into  hufflepuff  the  moment  he  sat  beneath  the  sorting  hat.  throughout  his  schooling  he  was  a  productive,  although  distracted,  student  ;  a  boy  with  his  head  in  the  clouds,  who  had  to  bend  the  truth  to  his  parents  when  they  asked  about  his  performance.  he  achieved  moderate  grades  and  passed  comfortably,  although  that  mediocracy  had  been  exactly  what  amos  had  fought  to  avoid.  one  merit  he  holds  dear  even  now,  though,  is  his  prowess  in  quidditch,  a  skill  that  landed  him  a  seeker  position  (  and  a  little  more  luck  with  the  ladies ) .  𝓲𝓲. amos  is  a  boy  that  is  overshadowed  by  the  greatness  of  those  that  came  before.  he  is  filled  with  passion,  a  boy - like  wonder  — but  none  of  that  matters  if  he  cannot  follow  in  his  great - grandfather's  footsteps.  eldritch  diggory,  fourth  minister,  the  last  success  of  the  family  line  …  every  diggory  that  fell  from  the  family  tree  was  held  to  the  same  high  regard.  only  to  be  disappointments.  amos  was  the  only  diggory  son  to  his  parents  ;  he  needed  to  make  it  count,  to  put  weight  back  into  the  family  name,  to  prove  to  his  family  that  he  was  worth  more  than  mucking  out  the  cages  at  vietch's  leeches  or  shining  shoes  at  blinkhorn's. 𝓲𝓲𝓲. although,  that  was  all  he  truly  wanted  to  do.  his  heart  belongs  with  the  animals  —  twittering  songbirds,  the  gentle  flutterings  of  the  owls  at  eeylops,  even  the  strange  stickiness  that  clung  to  his  hands  after  a  visit  to  bufo's.  there  isn't  a  single  animal  that  he  doesn't  love,  and  amos  has  lost  count  of  how  many  times  he  has  read  through  books  on  their  development,  their  care,  their  history.  when  he  marched  up  to  the  ministry  waving  his  name  in  the  air,  they  took  pity  on  the  boy  who's  eyes  never  once  sparkled  when  reading  through  documents  or  hearing  the  bang  of  a  gavel.  amos  was  deployed  to  work  in  the  department  for  the  regulation  and  control  of  magical  creatures.  at  the  very  least,  he  could  be  a  passionate  employee. 𝓲𝒗. when  he  isn't  spending  his  days  at  the  ministry,  amos  spends  his  time  at  the  various  animal  stores  throughout  diagon  alley.  he  often  helps  out  without  expectation  of  payment,  making  the  rounds  of  cages  and  refilling  food  bowls  or  restocking  shelves  if  the  staff  are  rushed  off  their  feet.  he  does  it  for  the  pure  joy  —  to  spend  time  with  owls,  cats,  rats  — and  as  a  means  to  unwind  after  days  of  bumbling  throughout  emerald - tiled  corridors.  sometimes  he  thinks  about  leaving  it  all  behind,  abandoning  his  I.D  on  the  desk  and  running  into  the  forest.  maybe,  one  day,  he'll  have  the  bravery  to  do  it. 𝒗. amos  has  multiple  pets,  but  his  favorite  —  and  best  friend  —  is  his  double - ended  newt  named  irving.
