Marcus Flint's birthday

Marcus wasn't very keen on celebrating his birthday. It reminded him of stiff "bday parties" at home that were totally unenjoyable for a kid, tons of old pureblood witches, uncomfortable "proper" clothes and his parents' stern voices when they told him to behave

Also, birthdays are about celebrating that you've been born, that you're here. And when Marcus was a teenager he wasn't really happy that he's alive

His bday is 22nd of June so after going to Hogwarts he was there during that time and not home, no more stiff parties. Terence obviously knew when Marcus bday is and always got him a present but they didn't really celebrate it

That was until Flint's 5th year, when he became a captain, created the Team and over the school year they all got really close

When asked, he told them he's not celebrating his birthday because there's nothing to celebrate in the fact he exist

And they got furious. Obviously not at Marcus per se but everything that happened to cause this (and they didn't know everything, 4th year was the hardest for him, during 5th he was getting better and well, he's rather closed up but they noticed some things). They told him that they're going to celebrate his birthday because they are happy he's alive and that they're friends and he can join them or fuck himself

He did join. Hearing that really moved him and he for the first time had fun at his birthday party because for the first time it truly was about him and not his parents

It became their tradition, Marcus bday falling at the end of the school year and the first they of summer, they celebrated his bday, end of school year, quidditch cup and the beginning of summer holidays. I picture them sneaking on their brooms to forbidden forest where they found a waterfall. Flying, swimming, having fun (with elements of celebrations of Kupala's night, reminder I'm polish) for the whole night. Being walking zombies next day at lessons, teachers knowing what happened but what they're gonna do? Give them detention? Good luck with few days left

Úrsula's face was the first one I chose to make these portraits, many of the characteristics I sought for her descendants came from her.

Astrea is a minor deity known as the "maiden or virgin of the stars", quite appropriate for a matriarch of the house Black.

Thoughts on the Malones?

Every batkid/batfam member has a Malone identity. No Bruce did not approve them. The kids absolutely abuse the shit out of it

Bruce will never know peace

Do you think all of the S28 have crests/animals like how the Malfoys have their peacocks and the Averys have barn owls?

Yes, I do! Most of the Sacred Twenty Eight seem too stuck on their high horse to not have something like a crest/animals to represent them. I went with animals for this since I've got significantly more thoughts for that than on the crests, but I would imagine these also show up on some variant of a family crest as well. I got a bit of help from a friend with this one but,,, here are our thoughts lol

Abbot - Doves

The Old English derivative "abbod" is a reference to the head of monasteries and the Old French "abet" means "priest".

Avery - Barn Owls

Black - Black Ravens

This is canon, as seen on the Black family tree, but ravens are the specific corvus due to their symbolism.

Bulstrode - Marsh Frog

The Old English "bula" means "bull" and "strōd" means "overgrown marsh", yet bullfrogs are not native to the area.

Burke - Porcupines

Derives from the Norwegian name "Børke", which originated from the Old Norse "birki", meaning "birch forest", a location commonly populated by porcupines.

Carrow - Stoat

The Welsh surname "Caeriw" means "dweller at the fort on the hill", an area that stoats can be found. They are also a breed of mustelid that highly resemble a weasel, which highlights their Slytherin traits in reference to the phrase "weasel out of something", meaning to be cowardly.

Crouch - Lamb

The Old English term "crūc" means "cross", an item from a religion associated with lambs in direct correlation to their saviour. I especially love this for the religious context and it symbolically means innocence, purity and sacrifice. Especially the latter works great with how Crouch Senior sacrifices his son for the sake of his career but also how Artemisia Crouch (Barty's mother) sacrifices herself for her son (who she believes to be innocent as far as we're aware), something that she would have never done if she had not married into the Crouch family.

Fawley - Hare

The names originate from the Old English terms "fealu", meaning "fallow", or "colour", "fealh", meaning "ploughed land", and "lēah", which means "woodland clearing". The hare is a woodland creature with earthy tones, suiting each origin.

Flint - Otter

The Old English name means "stream", an otter's habitat.

Gaunt - Serpent

The Middle English term meant "slender", an apt description of a snake and a reference for their status as Slytherin's heirs.

Greengrass - Red Deer

An animal that takes residence in grassy areas.

Lestrange - Fox

The name derived from "foreigner" in French, which leads one to believe that they were perceived as outcasts, presumably to the Muggle world, as would likely be subsequently associated with the occult, of which foxes are part. Traits symbolised by the animal also follow Slytherin's creed.

Longbottom - Hedgehog

The Old English words "lang" and "botm" mean "valley bottom", where hedgehogs may be found.

Macmillan - Lion

Often depicted on the Macmillan family crests.

Malfoy - Albino Peacocks

This is once again another canon one. Lucius Malfoy even owns an albino peacock and it scares Yaxley when he arrives along with I believe Severus for a meeting in June or July 1997? Something along those lines.

Nott - Salamander

The surname may be a variant of "Cnut", which is an English variant of the name Knud, the king who brought England and Denmark together, and salamanders are animals found in Denmark whose features pair with Slytherin traits.

Ollivander - Cow

The name originates from the Greek "olive wand", and as the known Ollivander pairs wands and wizards, the animal was chosen from Hera's sacred cow, combining professions and origins.

Parkinson - Bat

The name "Parkin" meant "little stone" in Middle English, and whilst it is a wider stretch than others, caves are typically comprised of rock, where bats can be located.

Prewett - Lion

The name is a variant of "Prewitt", which meant "valiant", suiting both the animal and the House of Gryffindor.

Rosier - Bee/Swan

My friend suggested bees, as they are pollinators of roses, I personally like the swan. The swan is most commonly a symbol of love, similar to how the red rose is, but it is also a symbol of beauty, something I think the Rosiers value a lot. This also fits with my headcanon that the Rosier family has a lot of Veela blood in it, as the Veelas transform into a bird-like creature when angry. They're described as cruel-beaked bird-like harpy-esque creatures and as someone who's witnessed an angry swan, I think it all adds up lol.

Rowle - Eastern Osprey

I headcanon the Rowle family to have roots in Denmark (hence names like Thorfinn) and the Eastern Osprey is a bird fairly commonly seen in Denmark.

Selwyn - Goat

The name originates from the Latin "Silvanus", Roman god of the forest, where goats could be seen.

Shacklebolt - Horse

The name obviously refers to breaking shackles, thus freedom, which is often represented by horses.

Shafiq - Persian Leopard

Derives from "shafaqa", meaning "compassion". Felines are widely loved in the culture and leopards symbolise power, beauty, and wisdom.

Slughorn - Slug

Ignoring the obvious reasons the Slughorns would be represented by slugs, slugs are also known to symbolise adaptability which we see with the one Slughorn we know of. Snails in general often symbolise tests of personal strength and we've also seen Horace Slughorn deal with many tests of personal strength, first when he tells Tom Riddle about the horcruxes and later when he tells Hari about the memory of it.

Travers - Heron

The name meant "to cross" in Old French, typically crossing a body of water, an exodus that herons are known to populate.

Weasley - Weasels

Yaxley - Bison

The name comes from "gēac" and "leah" in Old English, respectively meaning "cuckoo" and "woodland clearing". As yaks are not as popular in Europe, bison bear a close resemblance.

There was a lot of overlap with what we thought for a handful of families, though most of the explanations are by @literallysleepy! Hopefully, you guys enjoyed them as much as I did,,,,

Here’s my “literally me” list. Thoughts?

The Peter has some level of irony to it but I’m not exactly sure how much at this point

[department-of-landing-strategies]

I really like the idea of Marcus and Percy falling to "Black Family Madness" because the madness probably most commonly seen in the Black family out of all the sacred 28 but most likely isn't exclusive to the them.

Pie Family.

Including her G3 mom and her brother from Ponylife.

Maude calls Pinkie " Pink Spinel " and Pinkie calls Maude well Maude Pie so Pinkie feels less left out. The Pie surname is removed from all of them and their now only named after Rocks.

Pinkie is adopted and they kept her name as it was. She was kinda left on their doorstep. Partly Heartly is Pinkie's bio mom and her dad was a baking pony hence the Pie in her name.

Pinkie is gonna be the smallest and fluffiest looking pony in the g4 mane six
