[harbinger-0f-spring]

Just gonna drop a little oc lore right here…

If not for being a stillborn, Nicholas Armand Malfoy would’ve become the husband of Céléase Rosier. And so when it came time for Narcissa to find a promising husband, it was Céléase who played matchmaker and set her niece up with Lucius Malfoy.

@harbinger-0f-spring’s Céléase Rosier, daughter of Laurent and Eglantine Rosier (née Volant). She is the younger sister of Étienne and Druella.

[harbinger-0f-spring]

Étienne, Druella, and Céléase Rosier being connected to the Scamander siblings Lycidas, Leander, and Leta through their aunts Vinda and Queenie. Imagine Rosegold had no kids and so just saw their nieces and nephews as their children and arranged play dates for them so that they all just grew up together as cousins even when they aren’t actually related.

Céléase Rosier - Headcanons Pt.1

Céléase Rosier is my own OC I made to be the sister of Druella Black (née Rosier) and @konstantynowitz's Étienne Rosier.

Keep in mind this is just a brain dump so not everything typed is going to give the full picture, but it should at least give you guys an idea and better outlook on this oc.

Céléase Rosier was born in 1934 to Eglantine Volant and Laurent Rosier, the younger brother of Grindelwald's most loyal acolyte Vinda Rosier. She had two elder siblings: Étienne Rosier, the father of Evan and Felix; and Druella Rosier, who married Cygnus Black and with whom she had three daughters with: Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa.

She grew up in the shadow of her sister Druella, the most desired of the two. Ella was already out in society by the time Céléase was fourteen, collecting suitors left and right, all of which were from noble pure-blood families of their own.

Despite being only two years younger than her sister, Céléase often found herself overlooked by wizards eager to win Druella's favor. As the suitors scrambled for Druella's hand, Céléase was frequently forgotten, even though her own introduction to society was approaching soon.

Eglantine was very protective of Céléase and had the tendency of treating her like a fragile little flower, refusing to accept that like the rest of her children, her youngest was also beginning to grow up. Her mother's insistence on keeping Céléase sheltered served as a kind of confinement for the youngest Rosier sibling.

Some could say that Céléase was Eglantine's favorite child, but others would say that Eglantine's constant smothering was more suffocating than nurturing. While Eglantine believed she was shielding Céléase from the harsh realities of the world, her overprotectiveness stifled her daughter’s independence.

The only taste of freedom she managed to get during her youth was through Étienne, who would usually be tasked by Eglantine to accompany his sister if she wished to go somewhere off the estate property; Céléase could only leave the manor when a chaperone was present.

Arm-in-arm they'd walk with one another, Étienne always being the one on the sidewalk nearest to the road just in case a carriage passed by. He wouldn't want his little sister being trampled by a Pegasus or have an allergic reaction to their feathers.

(because Céléase was indeed allergic and it would not be a pleasant sight for Étienne to see his sister breaking out in hives)

Eglantine would've killed her son if that were to have happened.

Anyways, compared to his mother, Étienne wasn't as overbearing. While Eglantine's protective nature often bordered on suffocating, Étienne understood the importance of allowing Céléase some freedom to explore. He balanced his instinct to safeguard her with the realization that his sister needed the space to grow and discover the world on her own terms.

This nuanced approach made their relationship more open and trusting; Céléase knew that she was able to depend on Étienne to provide support and exhibit respect in areas that their mother lacked when it came to her own independence.

If you've watched FBWTFT then you'd remember the jazz club disguised by that enchanted advertisement on the wall. Well, lets just say that when Céléase was a little older, maybe around the ages of sixteen or seventeen, her brother would take her to something like that.

Sometimes on Céléase's little excursions with Étienne, the siblings would visit hidden bars or clubs so that she could see a little bit more their world had to offer, rather than being stuck at home with Eglantine breathing down her neck.

By this time, Étienne was twenty-four and had already graduated from Hogwarts, dedicating himself to the early uprising of Voldemort as one of his Death Eaters. In spite of this, he still made time to look after his little sister.

Céléase always admired the jazz singers that would perform on stage in the late evenings when her brother would take her. She'd love to sing along to the music, especially to the ones her mother usually forbade her to listen to when in the house.

There was this one special singer that Céléase loved the most: Imelda, a half-goblin, half-elf who frequently sang at the club Étienne took her to (which he did with purpose since he knew that his sister loved Imelda and he'd always be looking at her schedule so that he knew when she was going to be on stage).

When Imelda started releasing her own albums, Étienne would purchase them for his sister without their mother's knowledge so that she could listen to them from the comfort of her own room on the nights when she couldn't go out.

One evening, Étienne took Céléase backstage before one of Imelda’s performances as a surprise and by the end of the night she found herself singing alongside her idol.

Let’s just say that this is when Céléase really began to break free from the golden cage she’d been living in for so long, having finally just seen a glimpse of a life she could only ever imagine in a fever dream.

Due to Grindelwald’s imprisonment in 1945, the Rosier family were permitted to return to France. At this time, Céléase was expected to be enrolling at Hogwarts like her elder siblings before her, but instead her mother decided to send her to Beauxbatons now that they were allowed to return to their home country.

Céléase went to live with her uncle Floxel Volant and his wife Pascaline, staying with them for seven years while she attended Beauxbatons. To their niece, Floxel and Pascaline became second parents and treated her like their daughter.

Druella was already in her third year at Hogwarts so she wasn't going to be transferring to Beauxbatons and go to live with her mother's family like her sister was.

Besides, one of the main reasons why Eglantine wanted her youngest daughter to go to France was to find a potential husband. Ella herself had already been offered plenty of promising betrothals so her mother wasn't worried about her eldest finding a good husband while remaining in England.

Eglantine tasked her sister-in-law Pascaline to introduce her daughter to a few pure-blood nobles within French society, hoping that in time one of them would ask for Céléase's hand in marriage.

While living with her aunt and uncle, she was closest with her cousin Gabriel Volant, who like Céléase, was not an extremist when it came to their family's purist ideologies. He was more open-minded and accepting towards muggles, and did not believe that just because he was a pure-blood he had the right to belittle and oppress them.

Gabriel was the youngest of Floxel and Pascaline's children, having been born around 1931, making him only three years older than his little cousin. Due to the slight age gap, this would mean that Gabriel was already in his fourth year at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic when Céléase enrolled.

The cousins did not interact with each other much during their early childhoods because of the Rosier family's inability to return to France during Grindelwald's uprising. Even so, Céléase and Gabriel managed to reconnect fairly quickly. Gabriel did not shy away from his little cousin, in spite of their earlier estrangement.

The last time the two saw each other was in 1936, before Laurent Rosier moved his family to England. At the time, Gabriel would've only been five and Céléase was two. Of course, the cousins would correspond through letters on holidays and birthdays, but they never met again in person up until Céléase went to live with Floxel and Pascaline.

Céléase Rosier - Headcanons Pt. 2

Thank you to @lazyreinelle for creating the character Ambrose Avery!

circa 1950 - Lissie's broken relationship with her brother

When Lissie found out that Étienne was getting involved with Voldemort, she was distraught. The thought of her brother being used as the Dark Lord's puppet for his own agenda made her blood run cold.

She always knew that Étienne was part of an elite group of pure-blood supremacists led by Riddle, but when things escalated Lissie never expected her beloved "Éttie" to stick with him.

"I'm not going to just stand here and watch you give your life away to that monster," Lissie says, her voice quivering as tears prickling at the corners of her eyes.

Lissie's bleary gaze fixated on the cloaked figure in front of her, their face concealed by a mask of intricate design. He stood across the room from the young Rosier girl, but even at a distance she knew it was her brother.

Étienne scoffed from behind his mask, his hands clenching at his side as he held back his frustration. "I am doing this for us," he murmured, his tone giving way to his irritation. "For all pure-bloods."

Céléase shook her head, refusing to accept her brother's explanation as she countered it with her own retort. "And for what? You are losing yourself to him, Étienne. You are not the same man I once knew."

From behind his mask, Lissie could almost feel the sneer forming on her brother's face, but continued to stand her ground, in spite of the overwhelming tension in the air.

"Please, Éttie," she begged once more, blinking away the tears that were now rolling down her cheeks. "Please don't make me watch you do this to yourself."

As she starred at Étienne from across the room, she could barely recognize him, and it wasn't just because of the mask. he was like a stranger, a mere shell of the Étienne Rosier Lissie had once known.

"Just don't watch then," Étienne murmured indifferently, his eyes now refusing to meet his sister's watery blue-green orbs.

"Éttie-" Céléase croaked out, but it was too late, Étienne had apparated out of the room and Lissie was left alone to deal with her own inner turmoil churning in the pit of her stomach.

circa 1952 - Nervous Breakdowns

Céléase was a metamorphmagus, but she was taught to suppress her ability as it was not socially acceptable at the time.

Whenever her emotions are heightened, Lissie loses control of her shapeshifting powers, which would oftentimes get her reprimanded by her parents or siblings (specifically Druella).

During her seventh year at Beauxbatons, Laurent and Eglantine took Druella to go visit Lissie in France.

At this point in her life, Céléase was talking to a Ambrose Avery, an arrogant boy who fancied the young Rosier girl.

He was always such an ass towards Lissie, always trying to provoke her temper merely just to get her attention.

Laurent and Eglantine were walking around the school's grounds while reminiscing on when they attended Beauxbatons. Out of nowhere, Avery confidently struts up to them, his lips upturned in a cocky smile.

Lissie tries to get him to leave but Avery completely ignores her and at this point it's too late because Laurent and Eglantine already noticed the boy.

Ambrose, being the stuck-up, snobby that he is, politely introduces himself to the Rosiers. First, he takes Eglantine's hand into his and brings it up to his lips, pressing a brief kiss to them like any gentleman would do.

He then turns to Laurent, bowing his head politely in the older man's direction before outstretching his hand for a handshake. After the gesture is reciprocated, Laurent acknowledges Ambrose as the son of a former peer Aldéric Avery.

Of course, Laurent mentions this and Ambrose practically jumps at the opportunity to do something that would make Lissie's blood boil over.

"Well, sir, you can expect to see him at my family's holiday party in three days." Ambrose shoots Lissie a sly grin before returning his attention back to Mister Rosier. "It would be my pleasure to host you and your wife at Avery Manor for the evening. Of course your lovely daughter is invited, as well."

Now Lissie was absolutely fuming, especially when Laurent accepted the invitation almost instantly without allowing Lissie get so much as a word in.

All the while Ambrose spares Lissie a quick, playful wink before taking his leave.

Fast forward three days - Christmas break

Lissie and Druella were sitting in a carriage, on their way to Avery Manor when suddenly Lissie's hair started rapidly changing different colors.

When Druella notices, her nose scrunches up in distaste, muttering something about how Lissie "needed to relax" and "get a grip on her emotions." Obviously she wasn't in the mood to deal with her sister's nerves.

At this point, Lissie just can't stop thinking of Ambrose, her mind spinning with images of the bastard: his captivating smile, both charming and mischievous, drove her absolutely insane. His self-assured, cocky demeanor was something he carried well, even if it vexed her to no end. And his eyes, the ones that would always lock on her whenever she entered a room Ambrose was in... she could get lost in them forever if only he'd let her.

Lissie feels her heart skip a beat and her palms starting to get clammy. She begins hyperfixating on her appearance, using over her now maroon-colored hair, using the carriage window's reflection as a way to check herself.

On the surface she didn't know why she was feeling this way, but deep down she knew that she was starting to care about what Ambrose thought of her appearance tonight.

Céléase wanted to be perfect for him, to have his approval, to impress him. Why? Because she was beginning to think that she had fallen for the man.

Druella rolls her eyes as Lissie struggles from holding back a few nervous snorts as her nose transforms into a pig's snout. "Céléase, control yourself," Ella chastised, sounding a bit too much like Eglantine for Lissie's liking.

@konstantynowitz this would be a perfect aesthetic for Céléase Rosier tbh

[harbinger-0f-spring]

For the past month I've been working with @konstantynowitz in making family trees for our original characters within the hp universe. As of late, we've gotten pretty far in the development of the families working together. I'd already said in a post I made this afternoon that I have been assigned the Rosier branch of this tree and intend to expand on it the best I can. This collaboration will definitely not be a fast process, but in time we hope to complete the entirety of this tree and fill in a couple blanks for you guys to get the full picture of what Konstantyn and I have created together. Right now, there are a few missing pieces within the Rosier branch, but in the next few weeks I plan to complete it. In this tree, I've added a few new ocs into the family. I will go over a few names with you in this post, as well as give you a glimpse into the tree itself.

From the sneak peak Konstantyn had posted recently about the English branch of the Lestrange family, some of you might've already seen part of the Black family's side of the tree. Let's just say that the Blacks will be the last tree Konstantyn and I work on together as it has the most members, but right now my main focus will be on the Rosiers, which are featured on the right side of the tree.

The Rosiers were a wealthy and influential pure-blood family and allies of Grindelwald from the late 1920s to the late 1940s. At the top of the family tree are Eglantine Rosier (née Volant) and Laurent Rosier, both loyal acolytes of Gellert Grindelwald. Eglantine and Laurent are the parents of Druella Black (née Rosier) and Étienne Rosier, who is Konstantyn's version of Rosier Sr., a classmate of Tom Riddle. In addition to Druella and Étienne, I have created my own Rosier sibling, Céléase, who is the youngest of the bunch.

Here are the children's birth dates in order:

Étienne Rosier - b. 1926

Druella Rosier - b. 1932

Céléase Rosier - b. 1934

Laurent Rosier was born in France within the year 1903 and was the younger brother of Vinda Rosier, Grindelwald's most faithful servant. Around the 1930s, Laurent was imprisoned by the French Ministry when he was found guilty of financially supporting Grindelwald and his Alliance. By 1936, he was released with the support of many prominent pure-blood socialites who were either close acquaintances of Rosier, or close friends that all shared in his ideals. The charges against Laurent were dropped and shortly after this incident he moved his family to Great Britain.

If you'd like to know more about Laurent's involvement with Grindelwald and his followers then you can pop into the inbox of @konstantynowitz since he is their oc.

There are a few blanks regarding the earlier members of the Rosier family, which is something I am going to be working on later. As of now, I don't have names for the parents of Eglantine Volant or her husband. In spite of this, I have made progress on Eglantine's maternal line which consists of the noble Trefle-Picques family that hold a French Dukedom within their bloodline, and the Escoffier-Floquent family (a wizarding family of my own making).

I have nothing much else to share about the Rosier family itself, but I have been branching off a bit into the French side of the Lestrange family and have connected both lines through Minette Rosier. In this tree, I've made Minette the great-great-aunt of Vinda and Laurent, which would make their father (who is currently unnamed) third cousins with Leta Lestrange.

I know that it’s still a little bare, but I am going to keep working on building it up and will post updates with @konstantynowitz so that we can show the progress we are making with all of this. I would understand if some people may still have questions because not everything that I’ve introduced about the Rosiers was explained in this post. I’m open to hear anyone’s thoughts or questions about anything so feel free to message me anytime.
