NameGenevieve Muriel Poe Age11 Birthday2 April HouseRavenclaw YearOne AppearanceBrown hair and brown eyes (slightly lighter in color than her sister) and healthy-tanned skin (much darker than her sister's), and a cute smile. Her eyes are actually kind of hazel now, picking up on her mother's green eyes. She's 4'11'' thereabouts, and her hair is about as cowlicky as her sister's as well. PersonalityOh goodness, how do I describe my own sister?.... She's a really interesting kid, pretty smart for her age but not that nerdy. Actually, she's quite the history geek, mostly on stuff about Anne Frank or Anastasia or the Titanic and stuff like that. She loooves reading, and does it all the time. When you meet her, she seems pretty cool and laid back, but she gets pretty rowdy around certain people. Don't get on her bad side, you'll regret it. She likes Taylor Swift (an amazingly pretty muggle), which annoys her sister. But despite their differences, Genevieve and her older sister both share that love and want of magic, of knowing that there's something else out there that's fantastic and wonderful and they get to be a part of it. PastGenevieve was born in France, which probably explains why her parents decided to make her entire name French. Unlike her sister, she managed to learn the language fluently, and still tries to keep it up by practicing with her parents. (Unfortunately, Charlotte and William don't know French, so this practicing worries them.) Genevieve didn't display any magical talent until she was 9, but it was quite an extraordinary moment. She was on the roof of their house with her sister one day, when she fell right off! Genevieve somehow managed to come out of it completely unscathed, however, and after that displayed many instances of spontaneous magical behavior. She was very pleased when she got her letter (thankful to know that she would be accepted into the school, too) and is looking forward to a wonderful first year at Hogwarts!

NameOrville Crowley Bridgewater (Will, because he loves Shakespeare and hates popcorn) Age14 BirthdayJuly 21 HouseRavenclaw YearFourth AppearanceBlack hair that's really messy and all over the place (not quite as bad as Harry's, though. When he combs it it lies flat, but it makes him look like a bit of a dork.) Laughing hazel eyes, an impish nose, light freckles. 5'7, so moderate height. Always looks like he was very, very rushed a second ago but couldn't be more relaxed now. PastWill is a half-blood, muggle father and witch mother (he's a computer technician for the British government, she writes books about muggles) whose mixed heritage meant that he was exposed to both magic and geekiness at an early age. He loves tvtropes, Star Wars, Shakespeare, Discworld, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and xkcd. If he lived in this world, he'd probably love Harry Potter, too. He was very fond of playing pranks, but has toned down slightly with maturity (not too much, though). Has a sister named Ellen (Ellie), a first year at Hogwarts. Personality: Very fun and playful. Likes making fun of everything, including himself, but gets embarrassed easily about certain things (like his name). Is rather sensitive, really, but doesn't often show it. Wand8 1/2 inches, birch, phoenix feather Is fond of twirling it like a baton. PetOMAR, full name Oberon Mercutio Abergavenny-Rosencrantz, a psychic, telekinetic bright blue pygmy puff. Yeah. Voice like a Shakespearean actor who's swallowed helium. Intelligent, but slightly condescending and pompous. Very fond of Will.

NameSebastian Hector Blake Age14 BirthdayFebruary 17 HouseSlytherin AppearanceFourth AppearanceTall (5'10). Dirty blonde hair that's fairly neat - not overly so. Looks like he didn't care enough about it to really bother. Blue eyes that look bored most of the time unless he's with his friends (his best friends are Will and Edmund, by the way, and they make up a strange trio of friends. In tvtropes/Freudian parlance, he would be the ego to Will's id and Edmund's superego.). Looks a little arrogant until he smiles, when he looks happy and charming and, well, normal. PastBorn into a pureblood family, he's always had a bit to live up to - his great-uncle was a minister of magic, various other members of his family have held pretty high posts in the ministry, invented things, written best-selling books, etc. Of course, being a pureblood, he is connected to other purebloods - i. e. Miranda Goshawk of Standard Book of Spells fame, who is his second cousin. His family were all pretty cool in their own right - all over the place at Hogwarts, his father (Sportswriter for the Prophet, currently basically covers Quidditch but wants to try and introduce the Wizarding World to other sports) was in Ravenclaw and was the Ravenclaw quidditch captain, his uncle (his father's twin brother) was in Slytherin, and is currently Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. His mother (Healer at St. Mungo's) was a prefect in Hufflepuff, as was his sister Cassandra (4 years his senior, studying to become a Healer), and his brother, Alexander (seven years his senior, does PR at Gringotts), was in Gryffindor and was Head Boy. So, er, he's got a bit to live up to. Always the baby of the family, no one really expected much of him - his charming, charismatic brother and his sweet, well-behaved nurse sister got all the attention. PersonalityPerhaps because of this, Sebastian is rather reserved and quiet; those who don't know him well often assume he is stuck-up due to his family's fairly large wealth. The truth is that he is a tiny bit stuck up, but not the way most people expect him to be; quite intelligent, he looks down on people he views as not quite so intelligent. This may explain why he is friends with so many Ravenclaws. However, he does have a soft spot for nice people (hence the Pufflehuffs). He, is, however, proud of being in Slytherin - to him, the house represents not evil but ambition, the desire to attain power and respect - probably the two things he has wanted most throughout life. Upon coming to Hogwarts he has learned that friendship is nice, too - but he's still proud of being a Slytherin, and plans to outshine both his sister and his brother and prove himself to his family. Yeah, he's a bit insecure. Sarcastic, almost insulting, he treats those that he doesn't care for with nonchalant disdain, but treats some (i.e. Edmund and Charlotte) with a kindness bordering on fatherly. Loves debating things out with people. Wand10 3/4 inches, mahogany, unicorn tail hair PetHas an elf owl named Titania which is half a foot tall. He has to enchant packages to be lighter whenever he uses her to deliver mail.

NameEdmund Charles Blackwell Age14 BirthdayNovember 12 HouseHufflepuff YearFour AppearanceHe's got black hair that's cut neatly and combed neatly, mostly out of habit. He's rather pale, as he doesn't get out that much, and is about 5'8''. (So I think Will is rather embarrassed about being shorter than the others, as well.) He also has gray eyes that seem to have a bluish hint when you look closely. PastEdmund's a pureblood, pretty much. His mother's a pureblood and his father's a half-blood, so he's pretty close. One thing about his parents is that they are very proper, and expect him to be polite and respectful all the time. Sadly, they also kind of adopt that "children should be seen and not heard" way of raising children, so naturally he's a bit of an awkward kid. He grew up in a fairly large two-story house in the countryside. He also has an older brother who's twelve years older than him named Franklin (but he's usually just called Frankie). Hogwarts, to him, is his real home, and he looks forward to going there every year. PersonalityShy, quiet, and awkward for the most part, it's a bit hard to become friends with him. But if you work at it, you'll eventually manage to get him to loosen up a bit and then he starts to smile, and he becomes altogether much more pleasant and sweet. He's really smart, mostly when it comes to the... mechanics of magic. Runes, arithmancy, and especially wandlore, are his specialties. He gets embarrassed way to easily, and needs to loosen up a bit more. He's gotten better over the years, though, and by now he can pretty much be himself when it's just his friends. Wand12 inches, rowan wood, unicorn hair PetsHe's got a newt named Archimedes.

Name Adella Mariett Abernathy
Age 14
Birthday February 21
House Hufflepuff
Year Four
Appearance Adella is a girl who looks as if she has grace and poise(even though she has none, but that's beside the point), with long sleek black hair and green almond-shaped eyes. She usually keeps her hair back in a green crocheted headband given to her by her mother. She's thin and 5'4" with a smile always present on her face.
Past Adella was born to magical parents. Her father was a well-known quidditch player when he was younger, and his mother works for the Ministry. She's an only child, so she was always a bit spoiled. She grew up completely immersed in the magical world, and finds muggles to be quite fascinating.
Personality Adella is usually smiling, and she's extremely curious. She has a great interest in quidditch due to her father, and she's very athletic. She's very quick to lose things and she is very clumsy. She's loyal to her friends though, and she doesn't feel right being unkind to people, which landed her in Hufflepuff.
Wand 11 1/2 inches, ash, Hippogriff talon
Pets She had a cat during her second and third year at Hogwarts, but due to it having kittens, she left it in the care of her parents.

Name Shane Seamus Shannon
Age 14
Birthday: March 9
House Hufflepuff
Year Four
Appearance About 5"8'. Short brown hair, usually spiked up in a "cool" style he likes to take credit for making up. He has quite a few freckles on his face, under squarish green eyes. He's kind of scrawny.
Past He's a pureblood. Shane was born to a witch named Shannon Marks(She uses her maiden name, for obvious reasons) who runs an advice column in the wizarding world and a wizard named Claus who works for the Department of Magical Transportation. He was born in London, and from a young age was interested in mysteries. He was a tad late to show any magical tendencies, something that worried his parents quite a bit, but as he grew his magical ability did as well. When he got his letter he was happily shipped off to Hogwarts.
Personality He is an excellent finder, he wishes to be a detective one day, or at the very least open up a finding business. He often goes around finding things for people. He is a fast talker, and very curious. He sometimes likes to butt into other people's conversations, something that lots of people find annoying. When he's not finding things, he likes to laugh, read, joke, and he despises potion-making. He's horrible at it.
Wand Rosewood, 10 inches, Unicorn tail hair (He's actually a little embarrassed about his wand, as it is pretty feminine)
Pets An owl named Conan.

Name Wyatt James Basset
Age 14
Birthday June 5
House Hufflepuff
Year Fourth
Appearance About 5"9. Black messy hair(it goes everywhere) and brown almond-shaped eyes. He's of an average build, and his skin is not very tan. At all. But he's not exactly pale either.
Past He's a halfblood, his mother Susan being a gardener in the muggle world and his father being an auror. He was born in Germany, and spent a few years of his young life in Australia(his mother wanted to live somewhere “exotic”), and moved to London when he was seven. His mother and father were delighted when he got his letter, but extremely sad to send him to Hogwarts.
Personality He's kind to his friends, and stands his ground when needed. He likes to not get in the middle of things but will when he feels like he should. He likes to laugh and joke around, and is kind of gullible when it doesn't matter. He can get very serious, and when he's depressed he goes quiet and when really angry he has a tendency to go wild. Usually he has a very controlled temper. He won't try too hard to please anyone and likes to chill out and enjoy life(even though this means that he's less likely to sit down and study for any given exam, in which case he likes to chill out and enjoy his mediocre grades)
Wand Maple, 11 1/2 inches, runespoor fang
Pets An owl named Knish.

Name Rupert Oswald Pierpont Age 14 BirthdayJune 16 House Hufflepuff Year Four Appearance around 5'6”, he has muted reddish hair, and pale blue eyes. He's a tad chubby, at least according to himself. He has a goofy smile and eyebrows that are very animated whenever he speaks. Past Rupert grew up in London under the care of his father, his parents have been separated for most of his life. He's best friends with Wyatt, and they met when they were seven due to a play date set up by their parents. Unlike Wyatt, Rupert's father is a muggle(working for an architecture firm) and his mother is a witch, instead of the other way around. When Rupert got his letter his father was a little reluctant to let him go, but after careful consideration(and after he was informed that Wyatt was to attend Hogwarts as well), he consented to sending Rupert to Hogwarts. Personality He is always joking around with Wyatt, he likes a thrill and is always up for anything. He'll try anything once(even if that means parading around Hogwarts in a dress, as proved in third year on a dare). He hates being the last to know about something, and he is very quick to invite someone into a conversation. He likes to be the center of attention, but he can be very quick to share the spotlight. Wand Mahogany, 13 inches, dragon heartstring Pet(s) None. His father was allergic so he was never able to get a pet, and his father also didn't want to have to worry about the well-being of both Rupert and a pet.

NameMilo Tiberius Walden Age14 BirthdayAugust 12 HouseRavenclaw YearFour AppearanceBlonde, gelled back hair put in an extremely neat and "proper" style. He has big rectangular glasses that magnify his green eyes and he has small ears. He's very thin and scrawny but surprisingly athletic(not that he has much athletic ability, but what he does have is surprising to most) PastMilo grew up in the wizarding world. His family is rather...well-off, to put it mildly. He has a sister that's four years older than he is, and a brother that moved away when he was six. He showed magical tendencies at an early age, and wasn't the least bit hesitant to go to Hogwarts when he got his letter. His parents left the decision up to him, and as soon as he chose to go to Hogwarts they all but packed him into a box and sent him on his way. Over the years Milo has been a model student, and views Hogwarts as an "excellent institution for improving his skills in the art of magic" PersonalityMilo is quiet and snobbish(at least he seems that way), and prefers to view the habits of people from afar. He observes everything through wide spectacles, and is very quick to think and slow to act. He's quite cold to people he's never met before, and barely warms up even to people he's known since first year. Wandelm, 10 3/4 inches, hippogriff talon Pet(s)A cat named Cauldron, originally belonged to his sister.

NameLester Conway Bartel Age14 BirthdayJanuary 23 HouseRavenclaw YearFourth AppearanceSlightly shorter than average at about 5'5". His chestnut-colored hair is neatly combed every morning in a neat part, though a few hairs sometimes stick up in the back. He wears thick, round, black glasses to correct his myopia, but has no problem with wearing thick lenses. PastLester is a half-blood, though he was almost entirely raised by his father, a wizard, who works for the Ministry, as his muggle mother was often away on business trips in faraway places. His mother works with cutting edge technology and computers, so his house would often be littered with the newest technologies. Despite having mainly a wizarding upbringing, Lester was intrigued by the technology that his father regarded as "junk." Lester ignored his father when it came to this and would often try to figure out how his mother's technology worked, but he often ended up breaking it. However, his mother was never mad when she came home to find most of the items she brought home broken--in fact she encouraged Lester's destruction. There was no surprise when the letter from Hogwarts came, and Lester was promptly sent to Hogwarts without much fanfare. There, he was sorted into Ravenclaw and was excited by the knowledge of technology some muggleborns at Hogwarts brought and began questioning them about technology to the point of annoyance. By his fourth year, the novelty of muggleborns knowing about technology had worn off, though he still asks the occasional question. PersonalityLester is known for being a technophile, despite (or perhaps due to) not having much real experience with technology (even though he had a muggle mother). Due to this, he is very curious and will constantly be asking questions (usually relating to technology). It's rather hard to see past this outer shell, but in reality, he is a nice, considerate person, though he may seem like a blabbering dork. He prides himself on being unique and dislikes following trends. Naturally, being a Ravenclaw, Lester tends to do well in his classes, however, most classes tend to be boring for him and he finds little interest in them, with the exception of Muggle Studies. WandPine, 10 3/4 inches, dragon heartstring, inflexible Pet(s)Clarence, a Common toad. (Lester had decided that owls and cats were far too popular, and decided that he wanted to be more unique than that. He then proudly bought a toad as his companion for Hogwarts.)

NameBridgette Colene Chapney Age14 BirthdayApril 11 HouseHufflepuff YearFour AppearanceShe's got wavy, muted brown hair and clear blue eyes, a pale-ish face and a sweet, dewy expression. She's about 5'4'', and wears a necklace with a heart on it that her older sister gave her when they were younger PastBoth of her parents are muggle born, but they got divorced when she was nine. Her mother quickly remarried and moved to Germany with her German husband, so she and her sisters kept on living with their dad in Scotland. Her dad's a bit of a dork, so he still hasn't remarried, but at least he's a nice dork. (He embarrasses her quite a lot, though.) She's lived in the same house in Dundee since she was four, and they aren't going to be moving any time soon. She has an older sister named Jean who's a sixth year, and a younger sister named Luella who's a second year. PersonalityBridgette is a sweet but insecure girl with a love of nature and a quiet disposition. She's kind and friendly, but will usually only become friendly with someone if they talk to her first. She's also very pretty, but she doesn't really think so, and she doubts herself often. She's a bit discouraged about being sorted into Hufflepuff, because her entire family are the grand Gryffindors, and she feels like the Hufflepuffs are just the extras. Granted, she's pretty average at every single thing she does, except when it comes to astrology and cracking jokes. She's an expert at astrology and would probably get along very well with centaurs. When it comes to joke-making, her jokes have often caused small children to cry just because they're so awful. But she loves to look out of windows so that she can look at scenery, hates the dungeons because they're so cold and dreary, and wonders about things like the Black Lake and Forbidden Forest. Wand13 1/4 inches, willow, unicorn hair. Pet(s)A gray mouse named Loki. blogs.nature.com/news/thegreatbeyond/little%20gray%20mouse.JPG

NameJean Theodora Chapney Age16 BirthdayMarch 4 HouseGryffindor YearSix AppearanceShe's a beautiful girl with brown hair, light blue eyes, and a gorgeous smile. She's kind of tomboyish, but still kind of fusses over things like lip gloss and nail polish. (Nail polish is usually green.) PastJust like Bridgette, she lived out her early years moving from place to place all over Britain (her parents were trying to pick the perfect place to live), and they eventually settled in Dundee, her father's hometown. They've lived there ever since, and it's nice because their grandparents live there as well. However, the year she started school at Hogwarts, her parents divorced. She and her younger sisters decided to stay living with their father, and they've been there ever since. PersonalityShe's a goody-toe-shoes Gryffindor prefect, for one. Aw, don't be too hard on her, though, she always means well. It's just hard to tell sometimes. She's one of those prefects that's all strict and persnickety, a bit proud of her high status but only slightly vain of her own beauty. Don't worry, though, when she's with her own friends she's perfectly normal, a good kidder, and basically a sweet girl. I'm sure she wouldn't be so much of a jerk if she wasn't a prefect. Anyway, she's one of the popular Gryffindor girls at the top of the class, mostly just breezing her way through school, partying, and having fun. She and Richard Tracy are a couple. Wand15 inches, oak, dragon heartstring Pet(s)Barn owl named Harry. (I had to, 'kay?)

NameLuella Winne Chapney Age12 BirthdayMay 29 HouseGryffindor YearTwo AppearanceShort brown hair, light blue eyes, and freckles. She's got kind of a stubby nose, full cheeks and is generally just as pretty as both her sisters. Well, mostly just cute at the moment, but she'll be beautiful like them someday. As you can see, she really likes pink and purple. PastAlright, for as far as she can remember she's lived in Dundee, and she doesn't remember a lot about her parent's divorce and it doesn't worry her as much as it does her older sisters. She's very close to her dad and he's her favorite person in the world, and he doesn't embarrass her like he does her sisters. She's been having a grand old time at Hogwarts, and is a Gryffindor, just like her parents and oldest sister. PersonalityShe's spunky, confident, kind and courageous, with a stubborn streak a mile long. She's got lots of friends and is loyal to them all, and good at making more. She's quite flaky though, and I don't think it'll improve with age, she's never able to keep a promise or a secret. So don't entrust anything with her, it'll be kind of useless. She's a girly girl and loves her pink and lip gloss and all that, but she'll get along with not-so-girly girls. She's not particularly smart and her grades aren't the best, but if she's got anything it's that trademark Gryffindor trait of bravery. Count on her to be the one to put her name in the Goblet of Fire or try and save the school from a mad dragon. She'll do it, sort of because she's kind of stupid, but mostly because she's valiant and all that. Besides, there has to be a certain amount of stupidity involved when you're brave. (It's not always bad to be stupid, anyways.) Wand12 1/4 inches, rosewood, phoenix feather Pet(s)Pink pygmy puff named Marcelle.

NameAntonia Caroline Rock Age16 BirthdayOctober 29 HouseRavenclaw YearSix AppearanceAntonia has golden brown hair and pale skin. She has intense aquamarine eyes that she intimidates people with, which makes her seem mean, but she's really not all that bad. She spends a lot of time fixing her hair because she wants it to look good to impress the guys. She's average height, about 5'3'', and is rather skinny but muscley. PastAntonia's mother comes from Germany and her father is American. She has lived in Berlin, Munich, and Dresden, as well as a few places in Holland. She speaks English quite well but she has a slight German accent. Antonia has had magical talent since she was about 4, when she was hungry and summoned a box of cookies from atop the refrigerator. She is a pureblood, with both of her parents being in Ravenclaw in the past as well. She has a little sister beginning her first year at Hogwarts. PersonalityAntonia has a very spazzy, energetic personality and sometimes she loses points for Ravenclaw with her random outbursts during class. She can have mood swings all the time, to the annoyance of her bunkmates. Usually jumping to conclusions before she thinks them through completely, Antonia gets only okay grades and if she stopped making careless mistakes then she would do better. She loves to collect vintage clothing and strange items so she can display them on her windowsill in her dormatory. Antonia likes track and field, so she tried out for Quidditch but didn't make it. :c Some could say she falls under the category of a "popular person". Wand11'', Dragon heartstring, oak. She has a rather bad habit of tapping it against things when not in use. Pet(s)She has a maine coon cat named Hans.

NameFortinbras Andor Skörünson Age16 BirthdayJune 15 HouseRavenclaw YearSixth AppearanceMedium height - around 5'9 (which is pretty much average male caucasian height in England), smooth blond hair that lies pretty much flat against his head (except when he forgets to comb it, and then it sticks up a little and looks kind of floofy), dark brown eyes, glasses, smug expression. (FIXED IT FOR YOU. NO SATW REFERENCES, PLZ. WOULD APPRECIATE GREATLY.) PastMuggle-born, his mother is English, his father Norwegian and Swedish (but Fortinbras's grandparents moved to Manchester shortly after they got married, and so his father culturally is pretty much British). His father runs an indie bookstore/free wifi hotspot, while his mother has an herbal tea cafe operating out of said bookstore. Yeah, his parents are, well, stereotypical liberals. When Fortinbras was born, they named him Fortinbras: his father, a Shakespeare geek, was under the impression that they were naming him after the Norwegian prince from Hamlet, and his mother was under the impression that they were naming him after Meg Murry's dog from A Wrinkle in Time. Due to the fact that 'Fortinbras' is a little unwieldy, they tried to nickname him Fort, but it just didn't stick. They homeschooled Fortinbras, due to his mother's extreme unhappiness with her own British Public School education, and so most of his classes consisted of his parents lecturing him about things and him wandering around the bookstore and reading. Fortinbras's first signs of magic manifested themselves in making his mother's herbals teas have some ... interesting consequences, leading to various urban legends cropping up about chai that made bald men regrow their hair and earl grey that put a rather literal spring in your step (the Ministry of Magic actually had to step in with this one, but even today, there are still rumors that the right combination of tea leaves, lemon juice, and the right simmering techniques will give you the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound). His parents were surprised when his letter came from Hogwarts, but both being rather open minded people, they were happy about letting him head off to magical boarding school. Fortinbras loved Hogwarts immediately, and loved Quidditch most of all. While he didn't exactly have the build of a star Quidditch player, he immersed himself in books on strategy and steadily trained himself, catching the eye of then Quidditch Captain Lester McAlley, then a fifth year. McAlley invited him to try out for the team, and while he was only the reserve seeker in second year, he attended all their practices and provided valuable strategy tips to McAlley, who rather took young Fortinbras under his wing. When McAlley left Hogwarts in Fortinbras's third year, he did so with an enthusiastic recommendation to Professor Rigby to appoint then-seeker Fortinbras as Quidditch Captain for the following year - advice that she promptly took. PersonalityFortinbras is not perhaps the nicest or most charming of people; he's a bit acerbic and bossy, and is a bit of a perfectionist in some areas - i.e. Quidditch. A very demanding captain, he often drives his team insane, but they stick with him because they know he's a good person at heart, and that he invests as much time and effort into Quidditch as the rest of them put together. He tends to act a little smug and superior, but he's frightfully insecure deep down, and his prim manner means that he doesn't have too many friends. While he is an excellent seeker, being a good flier and very good at spotting the elusive snitch, his actual physical ability is rather lower than that of most Quidditch players, leading to a good deal of mockery from other houses and his attempts to compensate by focusing on strategy and techniques that depend more on brain, not brawn.
