In-Depth Details
Evelyn is the second-born child of Rowan and Eleanor Damaris. She has a brother, Julian, who is three years older.
Her father is pure-blood, and her mother is a muggle.
Evelyn’s top hobbies include baking, the outdoors and playing piano.
Since Evelyn was a late bloomer with her magical abilities, everyone assumed she was a squib up until then. She often felt like a disappointment to her parents. However, both Rowan and Eleanor insisted that she was perfect the way she was – magic or not!
Julian developed his magic normally at the age of seven years old and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. He was disappointed he never got to be at Hogwarts the same time as Evelyn, as he had just graduated when she began as a fifth year.
Both Evelyn and Julian have never met their maternal family. Eleanor’s parents were very religious and disowned her for “being involved with the devil” when she was engaged to Rowan.
Evelyn is very close to her family and being at Hogwarts made her realise how much she missed them. She would write an owl to them a few times a week, explaining how her classes went and how fun learning magic is.
Evelyn shared a dorm room with Poppy, Adelaide and Lenora. They were all very warm and welcoming after Professor Weasley escorted her to the common room. They helped to ease Evelyn’s nerves about making friends so late into the school year.
It was almost impossible for Evelyn to keep the details of her involvement with planning to stop Ranrok a secret. In the end, she confided to Julian, who had not long started his Auror training at the Ministry. He was furious to begin with! He didn’t want his little sister dying over something the Ministry should have been dealing with. So, with his limited access at the Ministry, he would dig and find bits of useful information to send to Evelyn.

Name: Inês Ofélia Da Graça
Nickname: Ophelia, Ines
Date of Birth: June 16, 1875
Nationality: Portuguese
Blood Status: Muggle-born
House: Hufflepuff
Patronus: Goldfish
Physical Description: Inês Ofélia is a short girl with wavy blonde hair that extends to her ankles. Her green eyes stand out on a face adorned with freckles, and a mole is located beneath her lower lip. Her front teeth are distinctly separated.
Personality:
Inês is a remarkable child due to her vivid imagination, although her distractibility is equally remarkable. She struggles to stay focused on tasks that don't deeply engage her.
Her difficulty in understanding social norms and behaviors occasionally makes her awkward. Furthermore, she has trouble interpreting others' emotions, often failing to notice sarcasm or jokes, which makes her naive in some situations.
Despite that, Inês makes an effort to understand people by observing their behavioral patterns.
Family History:
Inês doesn't have much information about her own family beyond what her mother, Joana Da Graça, shared with her while she was alive. She never met her father or grandparents, although, she doesn't seem to care about this lack of information.
Her mother, Joana Da Graça, was a very young mother who immigrated to the United Kingdom when Inês was just a baby. Inês's story is marked by the early onset of her adult life, working from a young age while her mother struggled to build a better life for both of them. During these years, Inês took on the responsibility of taking care of the household and later her ailing mother.
Background Story:
At the age of nine, Inês faced a significant trial when her mother fell seriously ill. Although the nature of her mother's illness remains a mystery, Inês cared for her for many days with the hope that her effort and patience would heal her. Unfortunately, her mother passed away suddenly, leaving Inês alone.
After her mother's death, Inês was sent to a Catholic orphanage, where she finally learned the English language properly, although she still struggled with pronunciation, reading, and writing.
Inês spent much of her life in the orphanage, unaware that she was a witch or that magic even existed.
Inês's life took a turn when she met Professor Fig and began studying magic. It was at this moment that she discovered an intriguing fact: wizards possessed knowledge capable of healing ailments afflicting Muggles. This revelation struck her deeply, stirring a wave of frustration and regret. She began to wonder if, had she known her true nature as a witch earlier, she could have found a cure for her mother's illness.
This personal tragedy is one of the reasons why Inês is so determined to help Sebastian find a cure for Anne, so that no other family has to endure the suffering she and her mother went through.
Unconsciously, Inês sees Professor Fig as a father figure. She once caught herself calling him "Pai" and at that moment, she fervently hoped he didn't understand Portuguese.
Sebastian has a crush on Inês, and everyone except her has noticed. She doesn't realize when they're flirting with her.
Inês is bisexual, but she's in the "bisexual denial" stage. She think that everyone must feel that way, liking a bit of both men and women, right? But Inês, not everyone feels that way...
Inês has a crush on Anne, but she hasn't realized yet.
Inês refuses to cut her hair and has never done so in her life. Even though it's a lot of work to care for, she simply dislikes the idea of cutting it.
She also doesn't like wearing shoes and takes any opportunity to go barefoot.
Inês doesn't have much ambition regarding a career. She simply doesn't think too much about the future or what she'll do after Hogwarts. She has a more "if I make it out of here alive, it's good enough" mindset. Her "plan" is to live a peaceful life in contact with nature.
Her Patronus is a goldfish because I think it suits her kindness and short memory, which could reflect her gentle and distracted nature. (In my head, this makes a lot of sense.)
My friend said Inês is a Hippie, and I thought about it for a bit, and yes, she's basically a Hippie but in 1890.

First Year: The Hogwarts Express
Chapter List
WC: 1,778
31st August, 1991, 9:47PM
"But mum, do I have to go?" Eleven year old Violet asked for the tenth time that hour. She held a letter in her small hands, pale yellow paper against her tanned ivory skin.
She glanced at it as her mother gave her a warm smile, "We've been over this, dear. You don't have to do anything, but your father and I think you should go."
Violet sighed, an automatic response to her mother's rehearsed response. They'd had this conversation every day for the past month, ever since the letter showed up, courtesy of a beautiful brown barn owl.
As Violet curled up under her blanket, her mother tucking her into bed, she set the letter on her bedside table, leaving it open so she could reread it. No matter that she'd read it several times a day every day, she still wasn't entirely convinced it was real.
To: Ms. Violet Ellis
Dear Ms. Ellis,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Students shall be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival, the dates of which shall be duly advised.
Please ensure that the utmost attention be made to the list of requirements attached herewith.
We very much look forward to receiving you as part of the new generation of Hogwarts' heritage.
Yours sincerely,
𝒫𝓇𝑜𝒻 𝑀𝒸𝒢𝑜𝓃𝒶𝑔𝒶𝓁𝓁
Professor McGonagall
━━━━━━⊱༻ ༺⊰━━━━━━
13th August, 1991, early morning
It was all very confusing at first. The "list of requirements" attached to Violet's acceptance letter made absolutely no sense. She could reason with robes, but dragon hide gloves? A pointed hat? A wand?! And it only got stranger. Books on magic, on spells and magical herbs and fantastic beasts? She truly thought she'd lost her mind.
Also enclosed was the name of a place, "Leaky Cauldron". Neither her mother or father knew of the place, so it took some searching for the family of three to find it. And when they did, it only proved to be more concerning. Violet could see it, clear as day, but neither of her parents could. They could see the music shop to one side, and the bookshop on the other, but not the pub sitting in-between.
"It must be a magical place. For witches and wizards only," She tried to reason.
She led her family inside, where the gentleman behind the bar took pity on them and explained that yes, in simple terms, it was a magical pub. Muggles, or non-magic folk, couldn't see it, until they were led inside by a person with magic. He then had another man lead them outside to a small back courtyard, where he took out a wand- a wand!- and tapped on a brick in the wall, where a doorway then opened.
The family walked through, feeling sorely out of place. They wore plain clothes, normal clothes to them, simple jeans and t-shirts. But everyone around them, from children to adults, were people in long, billowing robes, slacks or skirts, and dress shirts.
It took nearly the whole day for Violet to collect the things on her list, including several books, magical items, and her very own wand. Ollivander had been very kind when helping her find her wand.
"The wand chooses the witch or wizard, Ms. Ellis." He explained as he continued handing her wand after wand. Some had no response to her flicking it through the air, while others gave over small explosions of sparks. The final wand she tried gave off a brilliant light, almost as if it were happy to be chosen.
"Ah, yes!" Ollivander exclaimed, as if he'd known all along this was the right wand, "Willow wood with a phoenix core, twelve and three-quarters length."
Violet of course had no clue what any of it meant, but she was overwhelmed by the day's events and proof of magic, so she just smiled and nodded.
━━━━━━⊱༻ ༺⊰━━━━━━
1st September, 1991, morning
"Platform Nine and Three-Quarters? Surely that's a mistake!" Violet's father muttered as the family walked through the train station. They stopped between the pillars of platforms Nine and Ten.
"Maybe it's more magic, dear?" Her mother asked, "Surely there's some explanation."
Violet was about to suggest they ask someone, when the strangest thing happened. Someone walked out of the pillar. The very large, very brick pillar of platform Nine.
"Look! Did you see that?!" She exclaimed, pointing at the wall. The person, no, people, who had walked out were talking quietly. It appeared to be a mother, father, and little girl. All with very bright orange hair.
"Oh! Well, I guess... We just, walk through the wall?" Violet's father was dumbfounded. Magic was so entirely new to him that he wasn't sure what to believe anymore.
Violet took off at a sprint, her heart pounding as she neared the wall.
'What if it doesn't work?' The thought was fleeting before she met the wall, the world going black for a moment before she entered the platform. Her parents were right behind her, pushing along the cart with all her belongings that she'd forgotten behind in her haste, but she paid them no mind.
There were more people in robes and formal attire, hugging and waving at the kids climbing aboard the train. It was an old steam engine train, in faded shades of red and black.
Her mother set a gentle hand on her shoulder, "I think this is where we leave you, Violet."
"What?" She turned towards her parents, "Oh, right..." She blinked back tears, the realization that this was all very real. That she'd be going to a new school, far away from home, where she didn't know anyone.
"Well only be a phone call away, okay?" Her mother hugged her tight, then her father, "Try to have fun, alright? Make some friends, learn some magic!"
Violet nodded, staring at her parents. She almost started crying fully when she realized her parents eyes were full of tears. Her mothers blue, her fathers brown, both shining with unshed tears. So she blocked away her own tears, her green eyes shining as she put on a brave face.
Before she could respond, the train whistle sounded. She grabbed her luggage and rushed towards the train, stopping a moment on the stairs to smile back at her parents, before disappearing on board.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
The train was full. All of the compartments were full of kids and teens. Some wore normal 'muggle' clothing, while others wore what she assumed to be Hogwarts uniforms.
She walked slowly towards the back of the train, squeezing between people to find an empty seat. The only compartment not full was in the back, with only two people in it.
She knocked on the closed door before entering, "Hi. Can I sit with you guys? Everywhere else is full."
The two boys stared at her before nodding. She smiled shyly, turning to put her luggage away before sitting across from them.
They sat quietly a moment, staring awkwardly. Violet tucked her hair behind her ear, the brunette strands falling out of the ponytail.
"I'm Violet. What're your names?"
"I'm Ron, this is Harry." The boy on the left spoke. Violet took in his appearance- bright orange hair, round face, wide eyes, a silly smile, and semi-formal clothes. She wondered briefly if the family she saw exiting the platform was his family.
The other boy, who must be Harry, looked a little starstruck. With unruly black hair, wide green eyes, round framed glasses, and muggle clothes, he looked out of place. Which, Violet supposed, she did too.
A knock at the door pulled their attention to the older woman, "Anything from the trolley dears?"
Violet pulled out the few coins she had left from Diagon Alley and sadly shook her head.
Ron replied glumly, holding up a bag of food, "No thanks, I'm all set."
Harry looked between the two, then pulled out a large handful of coins. "We'll take the lot!"
A few minutes later, the three had spread out the selection of candy and snacks Harry bought. Ron explained the different selections, from Chocolate Frogs, to Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.
They sat talking and eating candy, having quickly become good friends.
"This is Scabbers, by the way." Ron explained as a giant rat crawled onto his lap and into an empty box, "Pathetic, isn't he?"
"Just a little..." Harry agreed.
"Fred gave me a spell to turn him yellow. Want to see?"
"Yeah!" Harry and Violet exclaimed.
As Ron pulled out his wand, a girl appeared in the doorway. She looked around the compartment, eyeing the three kids. She had to be their age, with her bushy brown hair, brown eyes, and proper Hogwarts uniform.
Her eyes continued to dart around as she asked, "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one."
Ron was the only one to respond before she turned her nose up at the trio, staring at Ron, "Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see then!"
Ron cleared his throat loudly, "Sunshine, daisies, butter-mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"
A yellow light emitted from the end of his wand before the empty box the rat was in flew towards the floor. The rat remained unchanged. Ron shrugged, Harry and Violet returned the gesture.
"Are you sure that's a real spell?" The girl asked haughtily, "Well, it's not very good, is it?"
The trio shared a 'can you believe this girl?' look as she continued, "Of course, I've only tried a few simple spells myself, but they've all worked for me!" She marched into the compartment, sitting to Violet's right, across from Harry.
The girl pulled out her wand and pointed it at Harry's face, "For example, Oculus Reparo. That's better, isn't it?"
Harry flinched back as the tape on the bridge of his glasses flew off and disappeared in a puff of smoke. They all examined his glasses, which had previously been broken but were now fixed.
"Holy cricket!" The girl gasped, "You're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger. And... You are?"
"Ron Weasley."
Hermione made a face at Ron, who had spoken with a mouth full of candy, "Pleasure."
"Violet Ellis."
"You'd three better change into your robes. I expect we'll be arriving soon." Hermione got up and walked out, turning back at the last second, staring at Ron, "You've got dirt on your nose, by the way. Did you know?"
Ron reached up and wiped at the side of his nose.
"Well, alright then." Violet sighed, exhausted from the interaction, despite having barely said three words. She got up and pulled her uniform from her trunk, including a grey skirt, white dress shirt, grey sweater vest, black tie, and black robe. They were quite plain compared to some of the uniforms the older kids were wearing, which had colored patches and ties.
"I'll go change in the toilet. Please be dressed when I come back." She laughed softly as she left, closing the door behind her.
