This is my Roman Empire:

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

we know there is a charlus and dorea potter and they have a son from the black family so how do you think they fit into the potter family?

okay i. really want to be canon compliant but like i litr don't have a specific wiki or smth i can open sooo uh this might be a bunch of fanons and hcs put together with glue

dorea was married into the potter family and was originally a black - this is canon

i've seen it hced that charlus is (closely) related to fleamont (i dont think this is canon?) but !!! i would like to make them brothers. please.

charlus as fleamont's older brother - but by like a lot. like 15 years. they weren't ever particularly close (well, they were brothers but...) and then charlus married dorea and he and fleamont got more and more distant because their political views clashed and stuff and stuff so right james grew up as an only child 👍🏼👍🏼

they also have a son, dorea and charlus, older than james because they had him at an earlier age & theyre older, but he never gets to meet him because ykyk messy family stuff and because c is a hard topic of discussion

ALSO because it makes sirius' enterance sm more interesting hghnhg everything leads back to him im sorry anon bc like ....... YOUKNWORGL

ummmmmm yes.

i think this is okay.

dorea as fleamont's sil, charlus as fleamont's brother, unnamed son as james' first cousin

also unrelated but that would make james' cousin sirius' uncle sawr yeah fun everyone-is-related-to-everyone wizarding world stuff

Dorea and Cassiopeia Black's designs for Cutthroat (a little project of mine).

[tisajest]

Imagine James and Regulus are out and about somewhere, maybe Diagon Alley, when they happen to run into Charlus and Dorea Potter (née Black).

While James starts catching up with his uncle, Dorea looks at Regulus, then looks at James, who’s holding multiple bags, up and down, turns her gaze back at Regulus and says, her voice full of sympathy and humor,

“You too?”

[sunnysaystuff]

psps would you read this fic. it's a new idea of mine do you think it seems interesting

DIOSCURI

SUMMARY:

[In the Wizarding World, soulmates are venerated. It is said that a bonded pair shall be blessed and cursed; one another’s greatest regret and greatest comfort. It is said that a bonded pair shall possess immense power, only trumped by Death. It is said that a bonded pair is exquisitely rare; a gift from Magic herself—

So naturally, the House of Black had to try and find a cheat.

- 

“Sirius Orion, be welcome here, amongst the cosmos,” they chant, an eerie hum, darkened palms interlinked still. “Sirius Orion, be Castor, be welcome, be pure…” 

“Toujours pur,” and eleven-year-old Sirius thrusts the knife through his hand to meet the fabric in a spray of blood and gore. “I come as Sirius Orion—I leave as Castor Heir Black.”

-

“Sirius—Sirius Black?” his eyes widen, and then narrow sharply. “I’m James,” he tells Sirius, the boys alone in their compartment—“but my Grandmother Dorea calls me Pollux.” His words echo silently, grave and intense. There’s a challenge there, Sirius knows. So he sees it, and meets it. 

“My Great-Aunt Dorea calls me Castor,” he replies as if this moment won’t change his life, and lets that sit there for a beat. “Suppose we’re like twins, then,” he adds, and stretches out a hand.

“Maybe,” says James, and takes it. A flash of light, and something snaps into place. 

Maybe not twins. Maybe soulmates.]

hear me out hEAR ME OUT HERE GUYS

black family traditions (i will elaborate because i have a whole cool plan if anyone wants to know)! dorea and charlus potter are james' grandparents. dorea is sirius's great aunt. hear me out...james and sirius are soulmates. platonically (they're literally cousins in this that'd be nasty). do you see the vision. think of how cool it would be. they'd keep secrets...change things...james would meet regulus and maybe🤭yk...angst with remus...

we like it don't we?

[emilover-1]

Let's remember that Harry and Draco are NOT confirmed to be related, Dorea black had a son with Charlus Potter but it isnt specified who is the son AT ALL, and Sirius is just Harry's godfather, not related whatsoever.

BUT who is confirmed to be related to the blacks and by consequence to draco are the weasleys.

Cedrella black married Septimus weasley, who is Arthur weasley's father, Arthur then married Molly, with who then they had William, Charles, Percy, Fred, George, Ronald and Ginevra.

this is not what I usually upload but I really wanted to talk about this.

Clearing up misconceptions

So a lot of people seem to believe that Abraxas Malfoy married Druella Rosier, however...

Druella Black[4] (née Rosier) (fl. 1951-1955) was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black III. The couple had three daughters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa Black. " (Harry Potter Wiki)

So who did Abraxas marry? Honestly.... We don't know. All we know is that however it is, they are definitely not a Rosier. Perhaps he married an Avery, Macnair or Mulciber.... Or someone from a different pureblood family entirely.

Another common misconception, constantly being perpetuated by fanfiction cause people just LOVE the idea of a Teeny Tiny Wizarding world :

Dorea and Charlus Potter are James Potters parents.

They are not, as you can see right here:

"James Potter I (27 March 1960 - 31 October 1981),[1] also known as Prongs, was an English pure-blood[3][4] wizard and the only son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter.[12]" (Harry Potter Wiki)

So what Charlus and Dorea are of James? Well, either They are his grandparents or, my own personal take, his Aunt and Uncle.

Ofc, you are free to write them as his parents if you want but not only you will be essencially erasing and/or flat out ignoring the freaking inventor of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion but also systematically destroying every chance Progstar/Starbucks, Jegulus, Sirry, Drary and whatever the heck the oficial ship name for Regulus Black/Harry Potter is (Regarry? Hagulus? Hargulus???) ever had of happening.

Look, i get why someone would want to destroy Sirry and Regulus Black/Harry Potter and as much as i love progstar, it is not that popular so it's not that surprising that someone would want to kill it. But Do you seriously want to obliterate two of the three most popular crack ships on this fandom, just so you can pretend the wizarding world is even more inbreed than it already is?

Wich, if you want to avoid incest, would leave you with the following options for partners for Harry :

Fred Weasley

George Weasley

Charlie Weasley

Bill Weasley

Cedric Diggory

Cho Chang

Neville Longbottom

Ron Weasley

Hermione Granger

Ginny Weasley

Marcus Flint

Oliver Wood

Dean Thomas

Theodore Nott

Blaise Zabini

Astoria Greengrass

Daphne Greengrass

Pansy Parkinson

Susan Bones

Hanah Abbot

Fleur Delacour

Gabrielle Delacour

Victor Krum

Luna Lovegood

An Oc

Remus lupin

Albus Dumbledore

Severus Snape

Tom Riddle

Minerva McGonagall

Amelia Bones

Alastor Moody

Evan Rosier

Barty crouch jr

Mulciber Jr

Avery Jr

Fenrir Greyback

Xenophilus Lovegood

Rubeus Hagrid

..... Or Cargo of any kind

Not as big of a selection as you would have by just leaving things as it is, but it may still please somebody so, whatever.

I guess the choice is up to you

Just remember that this is not canon.

Behind the Burn Marks by @midnightstargazer

Our second work of the week is here! This time we're visiting the Black family sisters . . . from the past!

Summary: The tapestry is riddled with burn marks, and no generation has escaped unscathed. But does it really get the final say about who counts or doesn’t count as family?

What's to love: LORE. MidnightStargazer gives us the untold history of the earlier generations of Black cousins and sisters: Dorea, Cedrella, Charis, and Cassiopeia! Follow Cedrella as she becomes a Weasley, Dorea as she becomes a Potter, and Charis becomes a Crouch. Against the backdrop of these families you'll find Squibs, compromises, and old school bigotry. You'll find broken and mended family bonds, a colorful tapestry of everything right and wrong with the Black family, and a whole lot of regrets. Read it now!

Thank you MidnightStargazer!

All that's left. - Chapter 1 - Douglette - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own]

Chapter 1 Chapter Text “Well fuck, Princess. I don't think this is where we meant to land.” Hermione shot a glare at Draco that promised retribution, as soon as they got out of the mess they’d landed themselves in this time. “Think this was Potters doing?” He winced the moment the question was out of his mouth as pain flashed across her face. “Of course it was.” she replied softly, allowing him to wrap her in his arms as both of them ignored the wands pointed their way. “I’ve never met them!” a voice protested loudly behind her, “This isn't my fault!” “I don't believe it was our doing either.” Another voice followed, reminding Draco viscerally of his mother. Hermione unwound herself from Draco, turning slowly to face the group of people who were staring at them with a mix of curiosity, fear and hostility. “Perhaps we should allow them to explain.” Minerva ventured looking over the two people standing in front of them. They were filthy, emaciated and haunted looking. Their clothes were tattered enough to indicate that they’d been worn for some time and she didn’t want to imagine how long it would take the girl to comb through the matted mess on her head. Neither of them had moved for their wands but she noticed the twitch of their fingers that suggested they’d have them in hand in seconds if needed and the wary way they watched the room, their sides pressed tightly against each other. Neither of them looked older than the students who had just graduated but she knew she hadn’t seen these two before in her life. “And how do we know they’re telling the truth?” Moody growled. Hermione rolled her eyes. “Lets not pretend you don't have veritaserum on hand, Alastor.” Moody flinched “And just how do you know who I am?” He demanded, his posture immediately defensive as another shocked ripple flowed through the room. Hermione shot a look at Draco, communicating something silently that had Minerva intrigued. Before she could open her mouth to redirect, Moody shot a hex at them. The effect was instantaneous. Minerva watched in horrified fascination as the children, the bedraggled, starved looking children immediately morphed into soldiers, their faces shutting down completely as their stances changed and the girl fired up a shield charm before she could blink, the boy shooting off an incarcerous with the girl following up with an expelliarmus and the boy stunning the crotchety Auror to end the threat. Neither relaxed even with Moody incapacitated. She knew without asking that these children had fought before. And that thought made her heart sore. No child should ever look like that. “I think that perhaps we should all lower our wands.” Albus suggested mildly, his eyes roaming over the interlopers with a gleam Minerva wasn't sure she liked, his mind clearly turning over possibilities. Neither of the children moved, their body's screaming distrust as they pressed themselves closer together and held their wands steady. “I think not.” The boy answered coldly. “Its been a bit of rough few years and I’d hate to have survived this long to be taken out by one of your little birds who couldn't be bothered to wait on a fucking explanation.” “To be fair, you did just appear in a building that is secret kept.” Dumbledore answered mildly. “And no one appears to have any idea who you are. It's…rather suspicious, wouldn't you say?” “All the more reason not to fucking kill us and allow us to give you answers, wouldn't you say?” the girl growled mockingly. “Christ, no wonder it turned into such a fucking shit show. How the fuck did anyone get any information if no one actually bothered to fucking ask?” The boy snorted, “That year in a tent did wonderful things for your vocabulary, Princess.” “Fuck off, Ferret.” she growled. “Remind me why I brought you along?” “Because I was the only one left?”

Druella released a breath she didn't realize she was holding.

Minerva and Dorea walked down the isle their kids standing to the sides, letting flowers bloom in their path and her soon to be wives just radiated in joy. The crowd gasped at the beautiful, elaborate trail of Dorea's dress, befitting a Black heiress. Druella herself wore a traditional French wedding attire that had been in her family for generations. If her grandmére could see her, being wed to not only one, but two witches in it, she would burn the dress. And Minerva, their darling rebel in modern festive robes and short cropped hair, enchanted to twinkle with starlight. This would be the event of many years to come and they couldn't be more pleased with themselves.

Are you writing Cutthroat? I’m curious about more. Are you making a fandom wiki or family trees?

Hello!

I am currently working on refining some aspects of Cutthroat before beginning to write the actual beast. To be honest, I hadn't thought of making a Fandom wiki for it. The blood relations between some of the characters are quite complicated, and building Family Trees might help me out a lot, so thanks for the suggestion!

I'll include a summary of the AU under the cut, so you can get a general idea of what it's about.

Cutthroat AU:

Harrison Silas Sayre doesn't hate Wool's Orphanage—that is Tom's, his brother's, job. Tom Marvolo Riddle hates Wool's as much as he hates his dead mother, which is saying a lot. Unfortunately for them, they seem to gravitate around the Orphanage. Though that might have something to do with the ritual they performed there fifty years ago.

Exactly seven months after Tom Riddle's birth, a baby arrived at Wool's Orphanage with a single letter stating his full name and date of birth: Harrison Silas Sayre, July 31st, 1927. The two boys were different from other children—special, as Tom often said, so it was no wonder they found solace in each other while growing up as brothers.

The Wizarding World had no idea what it signed up for the day the twins' Hogwarts letters arrived.

During their seven years at Hogwarts, they became close with the Black sisters: Dorea, a Slytherin like Tom, and Cassiopeia, who was in Ravenclaw with Harry, though in different years.

Cassiopeia was creepy. She worshipped Tom, though that might have something to do with the rumors about her weird Visions... Tom was a natural, charismatic leader, though he only had a meaningful relationship with his brother. Harry, instead, formed a close friendship with Dorea right from the start. They were always seen with each other, much in the same way Cassiopeia could always be found trailing Tom.

I could say a lot of things about them, but I think the most important event is the ritual Tom performed at 18—a ritual Harry was forced to participate in. Ideally, the ritual would allow them to live forever, an anchor of one another, until the end of times... But vital blood was needed.

Fifty years later, Lily Evans' and Regulus Black's research took them to a set of Caves near an abandoned Orphanage. They had spent years after James' death looking for any clue about the mysterious dark lord who was steadily taking hold of the Wizarding World from behind the stage. Only few were aware of his existence, except for his followers (Peter and the Mark in his scalp was a somber reminder of that fact), but nobody knew a single thing about the actual person.

In the Caves, behind a blood protection that Lily was surprisingly able to pass through, there was a black crystal coffin. Within, a sleeping young man had a snake resting on his chest. The snake watched as Lily and Regulus got close and, slowly, began to eat its own tail.

Ouroboros, they recognised, and the boy woke up.

His green eyes were exactly like Lily's, and there was a gruesome scar decorating his throat, as if it was sliced open once upon a time...

Like I said before, I could talk about Cutthroat all evening. It's very, very extensive and writing a summary for it is a difficult task for me. You can, however, ask questions, in case you're curious about something specific. Or if you want to know more about some characters, or their family trees or the plot...

Anyways, hope this was not too boring to read, and not too long of an answer. Thank you for asking! Knowing there's someone interested in this AU makes me motivated to do my best and keep working on it. Hope you have a good day!

Anjelica Huston as Morticia as Dorea Black in Debt of Time

[ellorypurebloodculture]

!!!! I'm so excited that fsf are back!

I hope your day has been good so far? As week a nice week.

But, onto the pairing! I would like to request a Potter Family Gen.

It started crazy, but it's settled down now, which I really appreciate.

***

"Bwoom?"

Lady Dorea Potter stares into her son's pleading hazel eyes, strokes his messy dark hair, and swallows roughly. She knows she's being unreasonable, is perfectly aware of the immense amount of protection charms on the child-size broomstick, knows that it can't hover more than two feet off the ground, but--

"He'll be fine, darling," Lord Charlus Potter assures her as he places their precious son on the toy broom so he can zip about the parlor, "I won't let anything happen to him."

James's face lights up, his delighted laughter floods the room, and, for just a moment, the never-fading ache in Dorea's heart fades to the background as she treasures the present instead of lingering in the past.

[midnightstargazer]

So for the sisters week of the @ladiesofhpfest, I'm writing about some of the obscure great-aunts from the Black family (Cassiopeia, Dorea, Callidora, Cedrella, Charis).

Folks, these ladies are just names on a family tree. All the info we have on them is their birth/death dates; their parents', siblings', and husbands' names; and how many children they had. And most of that is not even technically canon, depending on what you count, because only Cedrella is even mentioned in the books.

Why am I getting so emotional about these women? Why am I suddenly so invested in Charis missing Cedrella after she was disowned? Why have I suddenly decided Cassiopeia never had kids because she was terrified they would be squibs like her brother? Why do I have Dorea looking around at her mess of a family and wondering why they tell you family is everything only to make it so conditional? None of that is canon! I decided to do it that way! Why am I so determined to make myself cry?
