the malinda lineage; character spotlight

ethel malinda was born in 1896 as the oldest child of agnes and jacob malinda. she was later joined by a younger brother, everett and a sister, eloise. as a child, ethel’s life was relatively peaceful, although her mother struggled to fend off greedy relatives who still doubted her claim to the malinda fortune.

early on, ethel wasn’t interested in becoming the next malinda matriarch. she was free-spirited and longed to travel instead of being tied down to the manor. when she turned seventeen, she gave up her claim to the manor and gave it instead to everett. at this point, the siblings weren’t close anymore, so everyone was surprised by her decision.

everett and eloise wanted to impress the wizarding elite of britain and looked to make prestigious marriages to raise the malindas back into the good graces of the sacred twenty-eight. ethel wasn’t interested in posturing and hated the stuck-up attitudes of the pureblood circles, so instead she decided to strike out on her own, becoming a journalist for the daily prophet.

eventually ethel grew dissatisfied by the way the daily prophet was run and resigned, becoming an independent investigative journalist. she moved to new york, after having already worked there for some time with the prophet. she reconnected with irene quinn, her brilliant but eccentric former class mate, and the two begun solving crimes together, working as partners for several years. through this work, she was able to realize her dream of travelling and seeing many different places.

it was also in the states where ethel met her future husband rory o’neill. during her hogwarts years, she had harboured a crush on the older gryffindor and as fate would have it, she had a second chance when rory arrived in new york in search of his sister. eventually the two fell in love and got married. ethel had three children, a step-son miles, and twin daughters jane and kate.

she always remained close with her parents and even made up with her siblings and though they never became the best of friends, she was a part of the lives of her nephews and nieces. irene remained her best friend through her entire life.

► basics;

Full Name: Agnes Cecilia Malinda

Birthday: January 25th, 18xx (Aquarius)

Pronouns: she/her

Sexual Orientation: heterosexual

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Blood Status: pureblood

Nationality: English

► magical info;

Wand: Willow, 11 inches, dragon heartstring

Willow is an uncommon wand wood with healing power, and I have noted that the ideal owner for a willow wand often has some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they may try and hide it. While many confident customers insist on trying a willow wand (attracted by their handsome appearance and well-founded reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic) my willow wands have consistently selected those of greatest potential, rather than those who feel they have little to learn. It has always been a proverb in my family that he who has furthest to travel will go fastest with willow.

Patronus: Ginger Cat

A ginger cat is actually a tabby with a different fur pattern and coloring, but these cats are so personable they deserve their own description. Ginger tabbies vary in personality but are known to love lazing in the sun and roaming around their territory. They can be quite the big softie, seeking petting and affection from their owners.

Patronus Memory: Casting her first spell at Hogwarts successfully as the first of her class.

Boggart: Losing.

Amortentia: (What do they smell like?): lavender, freshly baked goods, her apple orchard

Place of Birth: The Malinda Manor, English countryside

Home: The Malinda Manor, English countryside

Pre-Hogwarts:

Agnes was born to the Malinda family and welcomed with open arms, as her parents assumed they would have many more children, boys too, to inherit the estate. However, Agnes ended up being their only child and when her mother died before she started Hogwarts, she suddenly had all the pressures of being the heir thrust upon her.

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Black

Height: 5′7 (170cm)

► relatives;

Father: Albert Malinda

The patriarch of the Malinda family who wished for a son to continue his legacy. He wasn’t happy with a daughter but tried to love Agnes the best he could. Albert dies when Agnes is 16, leaving her to handle both school, and the relatives trying to steal her fortune.

Mother: Eleanor Malinda (née Rowle)

A pureblood witch with great expectations for her daughter. She passed away when Agnes was only 11, leaving her husband heartbroken. Agnes was not close to her mother, since Eleanor found her to be too wild. She always tried to instruct her to be a proper lady, which Agnes despised as a child.

Husband: Jacob Owen Malinda, né Macmillan

Agnes and Jacob met at Hogwarts. Jacob was two years ahead of her so the two weren’t close. They knew of each other but barely spoke. After Agnes graduated, she met Jacob again through his work as a ministry official. He assisted her in the legal issues of her inheritance and the two grew to be friendly.

Agnes finds out during their courtship that Jacob is half-blood, his mother being a muggle. It was hidden from the public to save face, as the Macmillans are a respectable pure-blood family. This doesn’t deter her though, and she marries him anyway.

Children: Ethel Malinda, Everett Malinda, Eloise Malinda

Descendants: Verna and Jacob Malinda

► personality;

Agnes is outspoken and determined. She loves to work with her hands, and spends a lot of time tending to the garden at the Malinda manor. She was raised to be a proper lady and she can certainly act as one if she chooses but more often than not you might find her hands buried in the dirt weeding plants, or cooking in the kitchens. She wants to keep her inheritance and her father’s legacy and will fight tooth and nail for what she believes in. She’s academically talented and wants to do well in school, and she’s a terrible loser, preferring to win everything from games to arguments.

🖊 + Ethel?

🖊 + Nova?

*answers asks 50 years late with a starbucks*

Ethel Malinda:

She is the eldest of three siblings and the only one who left Europe for a different kind of life. Her younger siblings, Everett and Eloise, grew up to be sort of... stuck up and old-fashioned due to influence from their other relatives (Agnes' aunts and uncles and their sons who suck!! and wanted to inherit the manor and all the money instead of Agnes). Ethel didn't want anything to do with all the drama involved with her family so she made sure to study hard and have the ability to carve out a life of her own. She loves her mother and father a lot and misses them but she's glad to be away from England. Ethel doesn't get along with her siblings very well as they are so different but she does love them too, and tries to be a balancing influence on them and especially their children whenever she can.

Nova Hartley:

Nova is scared of the sea, has been ever since her mother drowned. She used to love going to the beach but it takes her years to overcome her fear even a little. If HPMA had a beach episode, she'd be grumpily sitting somewhere while everyone else had fun in the water. She only starts to love water again after she notices her own children's excitement and love for swimming and playing at the beach! I imagine her holding toddler Wyatt's hands as he splashes around in the shallow water and she starts to think that maybe she can get over her fear someday!

Quidditch:

Verna is the chaser of her house’s quidditch team for most of her Hogwarts career.

Extra-Curricular: Duelling club, Dragon club

Favourite Professors: Minerva McConagall

Least Favourite Professors: Severus Snape, Patricia Rakepick

Relationships

Brother: Jacob Aurelius Malinda

Growing up, Jacob was Verna’s hero. He is five years older than Verna but nevertheless they spent a great deal of time together as children, Jacob often babysitting his sister. Although he was never as much into Quidditch as Verna, he would spend hours teaching her to fly and even take her to watch matches a few years before his disappearance.

Although otherwise short-tempered and rash, Jacob had endless amounts of patience for Verna. With very absent parents, Jacob all but raised Verna from a young age and Verna trusted him to look after her more than their parents, which is why it was shocking to her when he disappeared without a word.

Father: Mervyn Malinda

The sole heir to the Malinda estate, Mervyn is an important character within the Wizard society. However, what the general public doesn’t know, is that he is, in fact, an illegitimate child with a muggle mother. This has been kept secret by his grandmother, father, and step-mother throughout his whole life. The only other person to know the truth since his birthmother’s passing is Juniper, his wife.

Mervyn works as the Head of The Department of Magical Transportation. He is not a very affectionate father, but he tries his best to support his children. Mervyn used to be a Gryffindor.

Mother: Juniper Malinda, née Raeburn

A prominent witch from the pureblood Raeburn family, Juniper married Mervyn Malinda out of love. She is a little eccentric and spends a lot of time working on her potions. For a time, the Malindas had a relatively peaceful life with their two children, up until Jacob went missing. After that, Juniper and Mervyn grew distant and started to argue a lot.

Juniper works as a potioneer and values learning, diligence, and holding onto what you believe. She used to be a Ravenclaw.

Love Interest: Merula Snyde

Verna and Merula start out as rivals but due to having to work together during their search for the cursed vaults, they are forced to spend time together. Both start to develop a crush on the other but are in complete and utter denial about it. Verna is the one to realize her feelings first, and she starts to antagonize Merula just to have tension-filled moments with her, which is a completely normal and rational approach to letting your crush know you like them.

Merula and Verna date in school and a while after it but eventually break up in the turmoils of the war. Depending on the version, they might end up together later on though.

(also, as a sidenote, i headcanon merula as like, really short so this dynamic is so much fun when verna is TALL)

Best Friend: Charlie Weasley

They both like Quidditch and are complete dorks. Worst pair of prefects Gryffindor has ever seen, totally incompetent at their job.

(Is this me projecting my love for Charlie into my OC? Absolutely yes and I have no regrets.)

Rivals: Merula Snyde, Patricia Rakepick

Enemy: Voldemort, R

Dormmates: Rowan Khanna, Skye Parkin, Eloise Montague, and  Yasmin Wakefield (the last two are my ocs just to fill the dorm for my fic but these spots are up for grabs if anyone wants to be dormmates!)

Pets: A black cat called Osborn

Closest Canon Friends: Charlie Weasley, Rowan Khanna, Ben Copper

Closest MC Friends:

Farrow Raeburn @threeon1match​

Verna’s cousin from her mother’s side of the family. He is a year younger than Verna and in Slytherin. They are nevertheless close, and Farrow has a huuuge crush on Verna’s cool, dragon-loving friend Charlie.

Background/History

Pre Hogwarts: 

Verna had a wealthy childhood in the countryside at the Malinda manor. She had a close friendship with her older brother who taught her to fly her first broom. Verna had a keen interest in learning spells even at a young age, and her parents would often find her using magic before she was allowed to (often with disastrous consequences). The year Verna was meant to start her studies at Hogwarts, her brother went missing and her mother became very distant, while her father acted as if nothing was wrong. Verna became determined to find and rescue her brother.

Hogwarts Years:

If I would get around to publishing my fic maybe you guys would find out!! But the basic skeleton of the storyline follows the game’s events, just modified to suit a different medium and sans all the dumb stuff!!

Order of the Phoenix / 2nd Wizarding War:

Verna works as a substitute teacher in Hogwarts for a year, after which she trains to become an auror. However, she doesn’t like the way things are run at the Ministry, so she quits and moves home to the Manor for a while, trying to figure out what to do with her life. Before she can come to any conclusions though, the Second Wizarding War starts to pick up speed and the secrets her family has kept all these years transform from dangerous to fatal. Verna is recruited into the Order of the Phoenix by her old friend Bill Weasley.

Verna reunites with many of her old friends from school while working in the Order. Her father is killed during the war and her relationship with her mother goes through a lot of turmoil.

Her ultimate fate is not set in stone and in some versions she dies during the war and in others she makes it.

Post-War:

Depends on whether she survives or not. If Verna lives, she will eventually find her path to a teaching position at Hogwarts OR a curse-breaking job with the (much-changed) Ministry.

She also reconciles with her ex Merula, and the two of them get together.

Personality

Positive attributes: caring, brave, selfless, confident, passionate, protective, resourceful. Negative attributes: impatient, impulsive, stubborn, cocky, reckless, competitive, short-tempered.

if you made it this far, wow! congrats! thank you!!!! i love you forever!!!
