No Surprise

[Spoiler and Long Explanation Ahead]

a bit of spoiler cause i'm still in year 5 of the game and i have a lot i wanted to draw before this event

I listen to this song in repeat while making this maybe you should too? (also the reference of the title)

In Year 6, after the death of their best friend, Ben and Jeniferl decided that it is best to break up for the meantime.

Ben believed that despite being together, he had failed to protect her and the people she cares about. The death of Rowan shows that he is still incapable to protect the others, despite his attempts to change. He felt worthless and believed that only a strong, courageous person could be with Jeniferl that can keep her safe... unlike him. He will keep changing, even if it makes him the worst version of himself, until he has proved to himself that he is capable of becoming that person.

Jeniferl on the other hand, didn't want more people to die because of her. She once again blamed herself from all misfortune and believed that the more she is attached to someone, the closer death will come to them. After the death of her best friend, she fears Ben will be next therefore she wants to maintain her distance and, to the best of her ability, suppress her emotions in order to concentrate on breaking the family curse and the curse vault. If she kept bringing ill fortune, she believed she didn't deserve to be loved.

The breakup left a bitter taste in their relationship. They told one another that  they could do anything they wanted regardless of what the other think, but their relationship is over.

On the day of the Masquerade ball

It was surprising how Jeniferl was on the ball despite all the tragedy that happened to her; it was Barnaby’s idea for her to go. Jeniferl and Barnaby are like siblings to one another, for they share the same interest in magical creatures and dueling. Feeling bad about what happened to her, he invited Jeniferl to a dance at the ball in an attempt to cheer her up, which she appreciated and agreed with. But what’s more surprising is what they saw in the Ball, 

Ben and Ismelda were dancing together. 

Everyone was startled that the two were together, but Jeniferl repress her emotions and smiled at them as they danced elegantly in the night. As promised, Barnaby and Jeniferl performed their dance as friends, but someone is watching them closely. It was Ben. Even though he presents a cold and disinterested demeanor around her, he is nonetheless troubled. In actuality, he only attended the event because of her presence. He wasn't supposed to go because he didn't see the point in going and would rather train to get stronger instead. But Ismelda came and informed him how Barnaby would be going with Jeniferl. He requested Ismelda's company in order to verify whether it was real. Upon realizing it to be true, he was reminded of their breakup and understood that there was nothing he could do.

The night may be beautiful, but no surprise, two hearts are left in sorrow once again.

✧✨✧

First I wanna say sorry for my poor writing and grammar skills I just want to finish this so that i can focus on my uni,,

and second, YES, the two broke up after 3 years of flirting and a year of dating ,,how unlucky but thats just the life of Jeniferl. I already planned this ahead before the spoiler TLSQ happen but, I hate to admit it, this tlsq benefit the story and I'm sorryy I added more pain in my story(I'm gonna add more tho).

No hate to Ben and Ismelda shippers, I love Ismelda's character and i just thought her being with ben is an out of character but i become more curious . Also I chose Barnaby because he is the one i chose to be partnered with my mc in the game but in my story, Barnaby doesn't have romantic feelings towards Jeni

But the TLSQ haven't released yet so there might be changes added in the story but who knows, I hate it but I'm excited for this tlsq~ also i kinda didn't follow the color dress code sryy

Behold, Ben and Ismelda's kids

I've had Artemis and Apollo's designs in my head for well over two years now?? I had always planned on including an adopted third child which resulted in Astraeus, as being the basic bitch that I am, I wanted to give them a sun/moon/star motif.

As a whole:

They were born in 1997. Apollo and Artemis were born in June, while Astraeus was born that following September.

They created their masks out of Magic for aesthetic reasons. They're used primarily for communication and spying if needed.

The three of them operate a little business that can range from acquiring certain items to completing homework for a price. The higher the desired grade, the higher the fee.

All of them can use Vytarian Magic but aren't dual-enrolled at the academy.

Childhood friends with the quads.

Individual profiles will be below

Apollo Copper

He/Him

Ravenclaw

Introvert

Pastel Goth

Younger twin

He's the one that does the homework of students that pay him. He'll make sure to copy their handwriting to avoid getting caught.

Wields Mannequin Magic, which he'll sometimes use to prank other students.

In his downtime, he enjoys customizing dolls.

Artemis Copper

She/Her

Slytherin

Extrovert

Goth

Older twin

She's the one that will seek out specific items that classmates ask for when she's paid. She draws the line at Love Potions, however.

Uses Illusion Magic, which she'll sometimes use to prank classmates and avoid trouble.

She's best skilled in both Charms and History.

Astraeus Copper

He/Him

Gryffindor

Ambivert

Punk/Goth

Youngest child

His birth parents were Death Eaters that only had him out of necessity to continue the bloodline, and didn't care much for him or each other. Following their deaths at the Battle of Hogwarts, Astraeus was adopted by Ben and Ismelda, who also gave him his current name.

He's fully aware of his heritage, but considers the Coppers to be his true family.

He doesn't like his eyes because it reminds him of his birth parents, having seen photos of them before. The masks were created for this reason.

Artemis and Apollo wear their own masks as a show of support.

Likes to sketch and sculpt as a hobby.

Uses his Gravity Magic to prank classmates.

[amberheavendremurr]

I have not played Hogwarts Mystery for 2-3 months straight and I come back to the fandom to find out that Ben x Ismelda is canon??? Excuse me??? Since when and why???

Like I have never seen them interact??? How did these two become a thing??? JC??? Hello???

Can someone fill me in on wtf is going on??? I heard about a Masquerade but I am really behind the game due to lack of finding time to play it actively but I am really spoiled till Year 7-

Also my condolences to the Ben Copper lovers!

;-;

[jackies-ear69]

Jam City officially hates Ben, first that personality change shit, then the masquerade ball bs, now shipping him off to America??

[moonprincess101]

in lieu of the Ben/Ismelda chaos here's my opinion about it:

"Wasn't expecting that"

And/Or

"...Maybe? With development..." (i dunno, my approach to ships is kinda "oh, well, thats a thing now")

Either way, I can see why people are so put off by this. As for me, I'll just consider it in my au as a fling that happened. Maybe its the adrenaline talking.

Long story short, weirded out but not as disgusted as I probably should be? I do agree though there are better ships they could've used though...

[benscursedkid]

I disappear for…….some time and you’re telling me ben is now dating ISMELDA???? i—but—he—

jamcity, I’m speaking to you now. what did I do wrong? tell me. i can change 😭

[ben-copper-appreciation-club]

Man I got the best Copperbell angst regarding the datamine drop

The only hint I’m giving

If you know this movie you know what I’m getting at

[domaslut]

MC spilling tea.

[idkijustgotherelol]

My fave straight couple

Commissions open

[electricslytherindog]

Ismelda, you better than this

[avidrawsthings]

dude im convinced youre like the only person in this fandom that even ships ben and ismelda together lol

Given the hilarious chaos that's been unfolding? Maybe XD

[deafeningwizardsquare]

My favourite hobby is back!

Aka I decided to do more gender bendering bc why not

Ok, Merula had been done in all the sauces but I want to say in my defence that the reference for this one was hilarious (like I literally thought that male Merula was indeed looking a bit like…Edward Cullen). For Penny I'M NOT RENOUNCING THE BRAIDS, NEVER IN THIS LIFE and for Ben a little 50's touch, kinda the same job done with Murphy.

My fav is Tulip but I'm not writing stuff that u already now…Instead, I'll add that this is one of the works that I'm more proud of since Andre, Talbott, Barnaby & Liz weren't exactly easy.

So, for the next one….

It's the magical world of the shipping with Diego begin for once my fav

Bonus!

And I may be in love with Jane uff- also, Felix and Chester scream too much “besties” or girlfriends material ngl.

you can actually use my designs! Just tag me! Both of my projects are considerably made by an huge amount of work, which means that I could only be happy if someone uses them!

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Oh sorry, I should’ve been clearer. Yeah it was an NPC in the game who said they saw a Gryffindor & Slytherin kiss. Like I said it might not be referring to Ben & Ismelda but with all the ship teasing that’s happened with them, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it was

No worries. I think that definitely clears it up. While it isn't a direct confirmation, I think we can safely assume that's who the quote was referring to Ben and Ismelda, or if nothing else, the player is meant to see that quote and arrive at that conclusion. It's just so interesting to look at this aspect of the quest. Frankly, it's kind of the only thing about the Masquerade TLSQ that was particularly memorable.

Like, don't get me wrong, it's a nice quest! It's enjoyable, there's basically no problems with it, and it provides some nice character moments for Tonks and Andre. The only thing is that there's nothing original here. It's just another story about the gang planning a party and everything going wrong in such a way that MC has to pick up the pieces and fix it. Cap things off with a big party in the Great Hall, followed by MC and their date stealing away to have a private moment? Bonus points because they watch the stars. It's just...again, it's nice, but it's kind of just a bunch of pieces that come from a dozen other quests. Ben x Ismelda is the only thing that anyone is likely to remember this quest for.

And that's my 30 second review of the Masquerade Ball.
