The Elegant and Most Olde House of Hartridge

tl;dr —> what it says on the tin lol. also not sure if i mention in other posts, but this reality is an omegaverse reality as well!

A Brief History

Following a series of tragedies, enemy hostility, and lack of suitable living space, the First Lord and Lady of Hartridge, along with the rest of their main branch family, emigrated from their ancestral home in a small country within Africa, per Mother Magic’s blessing, and settled in Britain in the early 400s.

They settled and integrated into the small magical community, thriving as they created the first Unplottable wards and magical communities as anti-magic sentiment started to brew amongst the Muggle population. These regions are known as Mullabyaly Highlands, Cobalt Bay, and Silver Oak Valley.

As a result, they were Attributed by Mother Magic and gained the title of Elegant and Moste Olde House after pouring their blood & magic into the Hartridge Ancestral Ward stones. Mother Magic also gifted the House and its’ generations Artistic-related Gifts.

Following the series of witch-hunts and discrimination against wix folk in the mid-1000s, they helped the other Oligarchy Houses, Merlin, Morgana, and Arthur establish Avalon and Hogwarts after Mother Magic Created it.

House Hartridge had also built the first higher educational institution for adult wix around this time, named Nafina Institute of Magick, and it is an internationally well-respected and renowned University.

Members of the Hartridge House are mostly renowned throughout history for being the first Wix to develop sociocultural norms pre-, during, and post-Avalon. After they were Attributed and Gifted by Mother Magic, they were also internationally renowned and respected for their Artistic Gifts—such as music, literature, theatre, dance/ballet, and other things under the arts.

in 1317, the third daughter of a secondary branch of the family (High Lady Nerissa Hartridge, daughter of Marchionesses Maia Hartridge & Delphina Hartridge née Malfoy) opened up the Rose Opera House and employed the novel group of dancers, opera singers, and so on of the First Company Troupe. It was an exclusive opera house for the elite of Avalon, though as of the 1800s (specifically, 1811), highly regarded Muggle-borns and New Bloods were allowed to enter/be invited to the premises. Guests are only invited to shows via the Board or members of the First Company Troupe (e.g., dancers, singers, and so on who are contracted with the Rose Opera House). Tickets only go on sale during the first week of spring the year before the shows, and are ostensibly expensive.

Other Opera Houses owned by House Hartridge include Nightingale Hall, Golden Cinema, and Emerald Amphitheatre. However, Nightingale Hall has turned into a center for social/season events as of 1878.

As for other craft-wise, maidens and wix from Hartridge are renowned for their lace crafting and spinning arts.

It is commonplace and traditional in House Hartridge for courtship offers to be lace spun and entwined with the maidens’ magic.

In 1205, High Omega Mira Hartridge (fourth daughter of Marigold Hartridge née Potter & Erasmus Hartridge) crafted the first *Felmio Flute,* a crafted masterpiece that sounds like the beauty of still waters and the sea. She had then further improved and introduced a variety of magical instruments along with instrumental songs meant to invoke emotion, all entwined with magic.

Another member in the 900s, High Wix Haven Hartridge (child of Archduchess Coventina Hartridge & Archduke Perseus Hartridge née Peverell) developed moving paintings and portraits, the first magical camera, and other items deemed socially and culturally progressive during that era.

All Purebloods and New Bloods, and Muggle-borns, look to members of House Hartridge in matters of etiquette and culture. A member of a branch house, High Lady Nahla (second daughter of Serena Hartridge & Valentine Hartridge née Hufflepuff) published the original Camelot Pamphlet in 908, instead of Lady Claire (a Lady of House Selwyn, who added more addendums in the 1200s), which addressed and dictated those sociocultural norms and expectations of the etiquette of every wixen station in Avalon.

As for their secret motto of *Never Forgive & Never Forget,* the House of Hartridge are fierce and feared when slighted. They have rarely, if ever, ended a Blood Fued, officially or otherwise, save for when House Yaxley became a Vassal House of theirs.

Due to the Family Motto of Unity Brings Strength, the House is always presented as a united front on all matters in the public sphere, regardless of their personal opinion on the matter.

ANOTHER secret motto is *Be as Powerful & Deadly Like An Ocean Vexed.*

For the most part, the House tends to be a close-knit (though still healthy and loving) family unit as most, if not all, members take unity and family seriously.

Colloquially, the House of Hartridge is regarded as the Hearth of Avalon.

In terms of political matters, the House of Hartridge is strictly Neutral. Most family members tend to have Neutral or Dark Magical Cores, due to having Syren blood in their ancestry, but there are some members with Light Magical Cores here and there. As for Hogwarts Houses, most members tend to be Sorted into any House, but mostly Ravenclaw, with some exceptions here and there.

Regarding Estate Matters, the House of Hartridge has the largest Acromantula silk and ( only) Melmu silk* production within Mullabyaly Highlands, specifically in the Ethereal Depths.

*Melmu silk is a strictly Family Only Secret via their Syren ancestors (willingly given Syren hair from a pureblood Syren maiden, woven under a clear full moon). House Hartridge is the only family to have rights to Melmu silk, in/out of Avalon and Magical Europe.

The Sapphire Grotto speaks to the Mer and Syren colonies, as well as the ethical production of pearls and pearl-related jewelry.

The Sleeping Rivers is a nature preserve for nymphs, naiad, and other water-related Creatures, but there are some who do live within the Grotto. It had been created by Mother Magic during Avalon.

Next post will likely be introducing myself and the family :)! Hope you enjoyed this little snippet of history <3 as always, my inbox is open for any questions/thoughts/discussions, tho it doesn’t have to be dr related!

Common Etiquette & Social Rules/Roles | AVALON

tl;dr —> here is a brief overview of common etiquette and social rules in my Avalon dr. Please remember that although it is HP, this reality is heavily inspired by Ellory’s Pureblood Culture ‘Verse and fantasy regency vibes. Many things may be the same in typical “canon,” but it’s wildly diverging from source material.

im happy to answer any questions tho!! you can find ellory’s lexicon here :)!

Hair Lore & Signet Rings

A witch’s hair is deemed Most Sacred, and it is illegal to cut, jinx, hex, or intentionally steal a witch’s hair. Minimum sentence is at least 5 years in a rehabilitative prison.

Why is it Most Sacred?

Due to the connection with Mother Magic, one of the ancient ways that a witch would show gratitude towards her would be through hair-weaving — e.g, weaving her magic through her hair via combing, styling, etc — and a blood-magic crafted hairbrush to help pool both the witch’s magic and her family magic into her hair. Another addition to this ritual is that her immediate paternal relatives or guardian — father, elder brother, son — have the Rites to tend to her hair, further cultivating and shoring the magic there.

A witch’s hair can act as a shield and holds an immense wealth of power, so long as the witch in question follows Mother Magic’s ways. Because of this, however, it is seen as a “ruination” if one were to see a witch’s hair down. It is only for her immediate family and her spouse.

As such, hair fashion often has rather stunning updo’s and fascinating hair accessories. Due to the magic stored in her hair, it will not feel heavy or weighed down even if it is kept ‘up’ all day.

Fun fact — if someone close to the witch, or has the Rites to her hair, is in trouble, they can instinctively reach out to the witch and use the magic from her hair, in which said hair will begin to glow.

Fun fact 2 — The highest sign of favor a witch can show is by gifting a lock of her hair that’s been tied by a ribbon created from her own magic.

What about Signet Rings?

Essentially, it is the hair equivalent for wizards. Their power is stored in a signet ring — not an Heir or Lordship ring as those are different — and can be called upon when the wizard in question is in a dire situation.

Common Etiquette; a Brief Overview

Titles

It follows similarly to regency/aristocracy vibes. As there is a social hierarchy, there are titles one uses when referring to someone. For example, the Head of House Black would be considered the Paterfamilias of the entire house, and would be called either “Lord Black” or “Duke Black.”

If someone isn’t the lord/lady of the house or the heir, or from the “main line,” then they cannot be called as “Lord [last name]”; it must be their first name or other subsidiary title. For example: Narcissa, because she’s not from the main line, she would be called “Lady Narcissa” rather than “Lady Black.”

Non-binary/GNC individuals receive the title of Wixen (Surname) or Wixen (First Name) depending on whether the person is head of the family or in line to inherit.

For Oligarchy, their titles would be “High Lord/Lady/Wix” and so on.

Heraldry Colors

Heraldry colors are a Pureblood House’s officially recognized colors. Essentially, it’s the colors that members of the bloodline/family can wear to galas, other formal events, or just casually.

It is considered poor taste, gauche, etc to be seen wearing another house’s heraldry colors. Exceptions are made for casual events, obviously. Some circles may even see it as an insult and start a Blood Fued, or see it as a proposal for a potential bonding into the House.

Established Heraldry Colors (not exhaustive):

Most Olde House of Hartride: blue grotto, soft rose pink

Noble House of Black: black and silver

Honorable House of Potter: crimson

Vigilant House of Malfoy: icy blue

Hope you enjoyed this post! I didn’t go as in-depth as there’s just so much world-building, so I do recommend looking at Ellory’s lexicon if you’re interested!

A Brief History of Hartridge will be posted next, so keep an eye out on that :)! Or I might introduce myself or family… we’ll see lol and as always, don’t be afraid to send me asks if you’ve got questions <3

👜 & 🎞️

for anyone of your dr’s

ooo tysm!! this will be from my marauder’s dr!!

👜 : what’s your house look like? Do you have any roommates or people who live with you? What’s your favorite aspect of your house and why?

where i live in this reality is an all-magical highlands known as Mullabyally Highlands, Avalon — the estate itself is called “Riverfoot Citadel.”

some inspo:

i live w my family, ofc! im the Heiress, but for got two little sisters! other family members, from extended lines and so on, often visit or live in the estate with us, so it can really be a lot of ppl lol

my fave aspect would likely be the grounds, actually, since there so much aquatic magic fauna and other small creatures that would make it look just so magical and peaceful to be around

im so excited to experience my childhood there!!

— 🎞 : what edits of you would there be in your dr? what is your fandom like?

hmmm honestly I haven’t given it much though lol but probably edits to slow or romantic songs, since this dr has similar etiquette and vibe as the regency/historical romance, and I suppose the fandom would fall in that line as well!

High King and High Queen of Avalon | Avalon

Since the time the Royal Houses and Oligarchy, save for Hartridge, became defunct, trailing off into descendant lines, the people of Avalon and Magical Britain have nursed hope that one day, Mother Magic would appoint a new High King and High Queen to rule and guide the country into an era of prosperity and security.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the magical population, on March & September 27th of 1960, two babes are born with the soulmate mark of a crown on their upper left and right shoulders respectively, marking the future High King and High Queen of Avalon.

However, many years shall pass before they are known to Avalon and Magical Britain as a whole, for Mother Magic wishes for them to enjoy their childhood and adolescence before the weight of the crown and country falls upon their shoulders.

Avalon shall not fall; it shall prosper beneath the guidance and love of the Alpha High King and Omega High Queen evermore.

Long live the Beloved and Royal House of Pendragon.
