TW: death, blood, violence

Corin Hale’s life hasn’t ever been easy, but over the past three years it’s gotten even harder. Her life before she was bitten was relatively normal, though it has been so long the details Corin now finds fuzzy. Growing up in Radlett just outside of London, she was once the eldest daughter of Atai and Ekaterina Hale. A school teacher and a lawyer, they had wealth and Corin once wanted for nothing. It was the classic tale of a girl from North London, Friday night dinner, trips to the synagogue and playing second parent to her two younger sisters. She would frog march to Haberdashers' Girls' School, while her parents laughed. The world was at Corin’s feet and she rose each day with the knowledge that fate had been kind to her and given who she was, she could be anything she wanted. At seven years old what Corin wanted to do was be in the theatre. A larger than life character, she would organise her toys and her sisters to watch her perform, escaping to far off worlds where she’d transport them. All she ever wanted was to be up there with the greats. and it was this desire that led her parents to take them one evening after school to The Globe Theatre to watch a performance. Wide eyed, Corin was in her element, sitting on her father’s shoulders, looking intently at the stage as Much Ado About Nothing played out. 

When the performance concluded, Corin begged her parents to let her meet the cast and get her program signed. But with her sisters tiring, the answer was no, but Corin had other ideas. Never one to listen to things her elders said, Corin ducked past her parents in the crowd, made her way back to the stage and waited, program in hand. She waited a long while, the cold evening air wrapping its arms around her. Eventually the cast came out and the excitement hit. Hugging her programme she watched them leave. The excitement faded and Corin realised she was alone. She knew London well enough, despite being so young she had always been resourceful and began the walk to Blackfriars where she could explain to someone that she’d gotten lost. Corin hadn’t made it far away from the theatre when fate intervened. It was a woman. At first anyway, who cornered her and asked if she was lost. Without thinking Corin told her of her plan to get back to Radlett and the woman offered to help. Taking her hand, they walked towards the station, until Corin was pulled into an alleyway and the woman was replaced with a wolf. Biting down hard on Corin’s shoulder, she felt the blood pool down her body and her life flash before her eyes. But before the wolf could continue to ravage her, it licked her shoulder and ran off into the night. 

The screams attracted the attention of a couple who took her to the hospital and her parents were called. The next few days were a blur for Corin, in a trace due to the pain and home from school due to the attack. The night of the first full moon was where everything came into focus. One moment she was herself, the next she was an animal, running through the streets of Radlett howling at the moon. When she awoke she was in a park, covered in grass and mud, with every memory of where she’d been and frightened this was now her life. Hysterically she told her parents and begged them to try and understand but they didn’t believe her until it was too late. Trying to get outside of her house to transform, Corin watched in horror as her father held her back. She turned, he was holding on to her. Then suddenly he wasn’t and she’d escaped through the patio door. Only small due to her age, Corin wasn’t able to fully attack him, but when she returned home she found him clawed to pieces and the carpet covered in blood. Her parents tried desperately to help. They took her to hospitals but no one believed them. On full moons they chained her up in the garage where no one would see. She was a schoolgirl by day and a monster by night. Her life wasn’t normal. At night she would listen to her parents argue and cry while her sisters hugged each other in the doorway. Corin knew she was the issue and while she was there they’d never be safe. 

One day, she packed up her backpack with all her belongings. Took it to school and left during lunchtime, with one thought in mind. Finding the wolf who had bitten her. She got by by stealing things, pick-pocketing and checking herself into hostels to avoid being on the streets before KAMALI SKENDER [mother] found her. Kamali ran Le Cirque Des Rêves, a travelling circus that was making its way round Europe and was stopping off in London for the summer. Aside from the strange woman who changed her, Kamali was the only werewolf that Corin had ever met and when she asked her to join the circus Corin agreed. Kamali became like a mother to Corin, teaching her everything she needed to know about the world she now belonged to and giving her a home. Corin didn’t think she’d ever find happiness after the bite, but with Kamali and then a few weeks later when SILAS CRUMP [father] joined the circus, she believed her life could be different. Time seemed to move differently for them. They became a family, performing in wizarding districts around the world and spreading their joy. By the time they returned back to London, Corin was twenty-two. A woman and an esteemed member of the troupe that she hoped to one day help run with her parents. London was not how Corin had remembered it and she watched as her father changed in its presence. 

The once happy seemed darker and people whispered of dark wizards and cloak and dagger plans made by candle light. Feeling unwell after a performance, Corin walked back to their wagon to find her father frantically packing his belongings. Instantly her mind became sharp. Silas would never leave him and Kamali, something had happened and she wasn’t going to let him slip away without her help. Cornering him, Corin began packing her things and insisted he take her with him. He revealed everything to her, about his past, his family before them, the death of his sister and the two sorcerers who had come to collect. The pair slept in inns, apperated daily and tried to blend in but eventually RABASTAN LESTRANGE [adversary] and BELLATRIX BLACK [adversary] caught up with them. It was a full moon in Nottingham and just before Corin could shift, she felt her body be swept up. Her father was gone and Corin was chained in a basement by a collar. Having taken the wolfsbane her father had brewed Corin knew her mind and knew something was wrong. Most of the time she was alone in the basement, occasionally brought food and drink by the gruesome pair or SEVERUS SNAPE [adversary]. They wanted access to the circus, to the creatures. They wanted to know everything about them but Corin wouldn’t say a single word. 

They used spells to try and make her talk, wicked magic that made every single part of her body scream out in pain. But Corin wouldn’t say a word. She was unsure how much time had passed before she saw the world again. They had stopped giving her wolfsbane a long time ago as punishment and were normally quite rigid with the checks until one night they weren’t. Severus had chained her up, but the chains hadn’t been changed in some time, worn by the nights spent pulling on them. When Corin transformed the chain broke from the wall and with the weight and power she now wielded it was nothing for her to break through Mr Mulpepper’s wooden basement door even with its enchanted locks. A rabid animal hungry for blood, Corin steamed through the streets, attacking anything in sight. ANDRESSA PARKINSON [victim], RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE [victim] and ROSALINE DAVIS [victim] were not known to her, faces in a crowd people in her way that were lucky enough to have people round them who could fight her off with their magic. When Corin came round on Hampstead Heath she had every memory of the night before, her life spent in the basement and her burning desire to find her family and get revenge. Now free, Corin hopes to learn everything she can about Bellatrix, Severus and Rabastan to make them pay for what they’ve done.

WEREWOLF WREAKS HAVOC ON COMMUNITY,  SPRING EQUINOX ATTACK

2nd April 1986

Dearest readers, it is I, Gilderoy Lockhart, acclaimed columnist for the Daily Prophet and expert in Defence Against the Dark Arts. Today, I must share the horrifying tale of a werewolf attack that occurred outside Mr Mulpepper's Apothecary on the spring equinox. What started as a seemingly ordinary day quickly devolved into chaos, injuring several individuals.

The werewolf burst through the doors of Mr Mulpepper's Apothecary, attacking everything in sight. Its first victim was RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE, who fell in one foul slash of its claws. ANDROMEDA BLACK let out a blood-curdling scream but pulled out her wand and fended off the creature just long enough for ANNABETH PEBWORTH, DORCAS MEADOWES and DOUGAL MCKINNON to come to her aid. The group hit the werewolf with spells, sending it flying into Cobb & Webb's.

ANDRESSA PARKINSON was in conversation with LUCIUS MALFOY when the werewolf advanced upon her, slicing her with its talons before turning its attention to ROSALINE DAVIS and clawing down her arm. Fortunately, Dougal had sealed the monster's mouth closed, preventing it from biting anyone. Annabeth and Dorcas froze the creature, but the chaos was far from over.

I suspect someone uttered a reverse spell, freeing the werewolf from its frozen state. No beast can escape Petrificus Totalus and Glacius without aid. Annabeth, Dorcas, and Dougal were determined to stop the creature from causing any more harm, but despite being battered and bruised, the werewolf was too quick for them. It managed to escape in the direction of Hyde Park.

The victims of this horrific attack have since been transported to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, where they are receiving the best possible care. However, as a precautionary measure, I have personally emphasised the importance of administering the Wolfsbane Potion to anyone who may have come into contact with the werewolf.

In light of this appalling event, I urge everyone to remain vigilant and aware of werewolves and other magical creatures. While I have offered my expertise to the Ministry of Magic, they have not yet launched an investigation to identify the werewolf responsible for the attack.

Let this incident be a stark reminder that the magical world is not without its dangers. We must all do our part to ensure the safety of our community.

tw: death

The glimmering jewel in the crown of the Black family, Narcissa Black is as feared as she is loved. Beautiful like her mother, yet intelligent like her father, Narcissa believes she is entitled to the best that life has to offer and with her family’s social standing she stands head and shoulders above all. The youngest daughter of CYGNUS BLACK [father] and DRUELLA BLACK [mother], Narcissa was in many ways their easiest child, she was a beautiful girl who liked beautiful things and her mother in particular was happy to give her them. Narcissa completed her family perfectly, giving her mother an outlet for someone to talk make-up and clothing with which bored her more politically minded sisters. Despite their clear differences in personality, Narcissa grew up close to her sisters BELLATRIX BLACK [sibling] and ANDROMEDA BLACK [sibling], though she at times found their behaviour quite tiresome. Like their father Bellatrix was opinionated, though Narcissa noticed she was often forthcoming with her opinion when no one had asked, whilst Andromeda hid her beauty in the pages of a book rather than make connections with other members of their society.

It became clear quite early in Narcissa’s life that it was she that would bear the weight of making an advantageous marriage and to further her family line, with her eldest sister destined for a career in politics and Andromeda presumably for one in academia. Hogwarts school was her first real taste of how to not only command a room but a social group. The moment she was seated at the Slytherin table, Narcissa took note of all of the eligible people who were sorted into her house, careful to ensure that ELEANOR YAXLEY [best friend], KLAUDIE BURKE [close friend], ROSALINE DAVIS [close friend] ZARINA ZABINI [close frriend] and VALERIA BULSTRODE [close friend] had a seat beside her. Making friends from The Sacred Twenty-Eight was of Narcissa’s top priority and like minded witches who were easy to manage were her preferred sort of people. Other names had crossed her list, but the likes of GENEVIEVE AVERY [friend/adversary] seemed more content with making themselves look better and eclipsing Narcissa’s spotlight in the process, which meant girls like ANASTASIA SIMINOVA [friend/adversary] EVORA CROUCH [friend/adversary] and PRIMROSE POMFREY [friend/adversary] stayed out of her inner circle and firmly in Genevieve's. 

By the time Narcissa had arrived at school, her sisters had already set a precedent for her arrival. Bellatrix and their cousin EVAN ROSIER [cousin] were merciless bullies who targeted muggle-borns, whilst Andromeda was a well liked model student and prefect, meaning Narcissa was unlikely to be bothered. A model student also and a prefect whilst at Hogwarts, Narcissa was somewhat of a combination of her two sisters, unwilling to back down from a challenge but preferred to conduct her attacks secretly. A persuasive witch, Narcissa was able to convince others to do her dirty work for her. People like RABASTAN LESTRANGE [close friend] took care of her cousin SIRIUS BLACK [cousin/adversary] and the disgraceful group he chose to surround himself with, whilst the occasional bit of gossip and a quiet word to her teachers here and there from herself and REGULUS BLACK [cousin/close friend] or VICTOR YAXLEY [close friend] put to bed any threats to her power within school and helping her secure her spot in The Slug Club, as well as her positions of prefect and later Head Girl. 

Finally into the world, the idea of working before she ran her own household did not appeal to Narcissa and she quickly got to work establishing herself in Wizarding London’s social scene. Looking good was a full time job for Narcissa, but she was not your average Sacred Twenty-Eight witch with marriage on her mind. From an intelligent family with important political connections, Narcissa had a sharp mind and was careful not only about what she was saying but what she was hearing and who was her ideal match. LUCIUS MALFOY [friend/potential love interest] had been on Narcissa’s mind for some time. A friend of her eldest sister’s, she had watched him rise in the political world, just like his father had done before him and fancied him as someone she maybe could consider her intellectual and social equal. The two had been getting closer before her world had changed and despite having their best interests at heart, Narcissa is still wounded by the attack on her reputation that followed the untimely death of The Minister’s son BOOKER BAGNOLD [person of interest].

Before his death, her family was established, now they were questioned. In an unfortunate string of events that saw Narcissa accidently holding Booker’s wand that evening due to a plot by her sister gone wrong, Narcissa was forced to endure an embarrassing trip to The Ministry’s integration room, her face on The Daily Prophet and worst of all, her marriage prospect suddenly in a relationship with a Witch Weekly model. Narcissa was outraged. Then her family let her in on their dirty secret. The Dark Lord was a mysterious wizard who had seemingly chosen her family to further his word, a powerful man, unlike any they had seen before, her father and Bellatrix believed he was the key to making their world a better and less tolerant place, leaving people like them at the top without having to endure the likes of squibs and muggle-borns. Narcissa was reluctant to join the ranks of The Dark Lord, until she discovered he had another important follower that wished to rise in his ranks, Lucius. 

Narcissa is as content as she can muster being an associate of The Dark Lord’s and listening out in high society for anything that may threaten their plans. Instead she chooses to focus on her image and achieve her ultimate goal. Complete control of London’s high society and the man of her dreams by her side. Calculated, Narcissa has began to insert herself into the life of ANDRESSA PARKINSON [person of interest] to find out her secrets and shortcomings in the hopes of driving a wedge between her and Lucius, though Andressa may end up being the least of her problems. As the most sought after witch in Wizarding London, the target on Narcissa’s back is a large one, with multiple people begging to see her reign at the top come to an end, including those within her own friendship group. There are many who would do whatever it takes to topple her, including using dirt gathered on her more unassuming sister Andromeda in order to do it.

tw: death, tw: blood

Every first born will say the same thing. Expectation sits squarely on your shoulders. Born the future head of the Davis family, Cordelia Davis was to all who knew her, the perfect pure-blood daughter. The Davis family were an old pure-blood wizarding family from Kerry in Ireland who came over in the 1920s to set up Moribund’s an exclusive members only club, with a strict wealthy, pure-blood and anti-blood traitor policy. Interwoven with the usual lessons taught to children like Cordelia, were things like how to manage a business and extensive background on the wizarding families in Britain, including who were paying members of Moribund’s and which of their children would be in her academic year. Groomed to one day take over Moribund’s, Cordelia never had a moment to consider if she might want to choose another life other than the one that was being set out for her. Her siblings were not subject to the same level of conditioning as Cordelia, though her younger brother AJAX DAVIS [brother] was forced to sit in on some of her lessons. 

Their family had clear idas. Cordelia would run the business and her brother to marry into The Twenty-Eight and further strengthen the Davis line. Her youngest sibling ROSALINE DAVIS [sister] was their loose cannon, too difficult for her parents to wrangle when there was no need to do so. The Davis family weren’t in the Sacred Twenty-Eight, but Moribund’s made them just as good as. Sorted into Slytherin, she was fortunate enough to be in the same year group and house as LUCIUS MALFOY [former close friend], DECIUS FLINT [former partner/former close friend], EVAN ROSIER [former close friend] and ALFHILD ROWLE [former close friend] who were all paying pure-blood members of Moribund’s. Cordelia was a good fit for their group of friends, as was EMMA VANITY [former best friend] and INES MORENO [former best friend], whose families also paid their hefty club fees. Cordelia quickly rose in ranks at school, she looked exquisite in a ballgown and could take your money at poker. 

She didn’t have any friends who were even half-bloods, let alone muggle-borns and believed wholeheartedly that she was born into a position of power because as a result of good breeding. It was this way of thinking that landed her on the arm of Decius Flint. A very respectable member of the Twenty-Eight. Cordelia doted on him and loved him with all her heart and soul. It wasn’t just his title or family line that she was interested in, Decius longed to give her exactly what she wanted, a happy life filled with marriage and children who would one day inherit Moribund’s. Graduating a slug club member, a prefect, head girl and with a boyfriend most parents longed to secure for their own child, Cordelia was the envy of every debutant the year she came out. She sparkled amongst them and smirked privately as she read her name in the scandal sheets and considered how far she’d managed to advance her family reputation even in such a short while. Had the killings not began in London, Cordelia might have achieved the gilded life she’d always dreamed of. 

The day BOOKER BAGNOLD [person of interest] fell to his death in the fountain, she was only a few feet away. But that wasn’t the end of it. Although Cordelia wanted to assume the role as wife and mother in her later years, her younger years would be spent with a hands-on approach at Moribund’s, training the ideal staff and knowing the business inside and out before she let it run itself. Missing persons posters plastered the alleyway, with bodies found not too far from the club. The world had begun to make Cordelia feel nervous. Knowing this, Ines traded in her late night favourite spot at The Grave Affair to drink with Cordelia and keep her company. She loved her for it and although they had often sparred for popularity points in the past, in adulthood Ines was her very best friend. Her loss was of great pain to Cordelia. Just outside the club, Cordelia tried to stop the bleeding, holding on to Ines’ neck which now had giant claw marks running down it. Ines died in her arms that night and Cordelia’s life changed. 

Once a sociable witch, Cordelia became a prisoner inside the Flint family home. Her relationship with Decius came to an end when he told her he’d been sleeping with ANASTASIA SIMINOVA [adversary], blaming her disinterest in him and her lack of understanding for the reason. Home in her childhood bed, Cordelia considered how meaningless it all was. She’d spent her entire life working towards something that would never happen. Her relationship or her best friend couldn’t be saved and something had taken it from her. Cordelia’s decision to break with her family was not instantaneous, in fact the final straw came over dinner when Cordelia let her thoughts on blood purity be known. Though it was something she had once held in the highest regard, it was clear to her how little it mattered. It hadn’t spared Ines’ life and Decius had willingly left her for a half-blood. The world had changed and things like certain people liking you, or having pretty babies with someone who could leave you in an instant or you were expected to ignore their wandering eye, did not seem like a valuable way to spend her life. 

Her statements shocked her parents but Cordelia no longer cared. She wasn’t devoting her life to an institution she didn’t believe in and her parents had two more children anyhow. Taking her inheritance, she answered a spare room ad in The Daily Prophet and moved in with follow healers SAMUEL WAINSCOTT [close friend/housemate] and POPPY POMFREY [close friend/housemate] and Poppy’s younger sister PRIMROSE POMFREY [close friend/housemate]. Everyone from her old life wasn’t interested in associating with her anymore except for her brother and sister, although that was also away from prying eyes due to the reputation of Moribund’s. Cordelia’s life was different but she was happy. For once in her life she had a purpose she’d chosen for herself and that was to try and save victims in a silent war she already knew was being fought. Cordelia was drawn to the Dangerous' Dai Llewellyn Ward, tending after multiple bite and scratch victims all at the hands of a wolf. Times have grown darker and Cordelia is sure that the creatures are in some way playing a part. Although her friends think she’s crazy, Cordelia is sure she’s on to something and will stop at nothing to prove she’s right.

UNCERTAIN of a future that she cannot control, though she lends a HELPFUL hand.

— her story starts with ;

Living high and grand as the only child to the Bulstrode family, Valeria has only ever known of the finer things in life. A perfect mixture of Antonella Asperanza and Reginald Bulstrode, she is the apple of her parents’ eyes. From the beginning, both had been heavily involved in the raising of Valeria, her mother refused the help of nannies or house elves, instead making it her full time job to raise her daughter properly. She insisted on a hands-on approach when caring for her daughter, one that she pushed on Reginald as well when he wasn’t in office at the Ministry of Magic. A representative for the Department of International Magical Cooperation, it was a business trip to Columbia that led Reginald to falling in love with his wife. Valeria has heard the story many times about how her father’s short visit quickly turned into a month when he first ran into Antonella and had their whirlwind of a romance. And despite it being years down the line, the love between the two has never simmered. To many children, it’s embarrassing to see your parents’ displays of affection for each other but to Valeria it’s the reminder that she’s lucky to be blessed with a mother and father who are still madly in love.

Valeria was well aware that her birth was the reason her parents decided to relocate from Columbia to England, wanting to be closer to her father’s family and the countryside to raise her properly. Her mother found it easy to assimilate into the circle of Pure-Blood wives, despite being from another country, and when Valeria reached the age of seven she began attending events with Antonella to learn the ins and outs of high society. While her mother was her guiding light to society life, Reginald had taken on the role of teaching the importance of blood and the Bulstrode name. When he wasn’t away working at the Ministry, his free time would be used ushering Valeria away into his study to lecture her about the significance of being a Pure-Blood in a Sacred Twenty Eight family. It was her duty to befriend those children who believed as they did, turn her nose up at those who were beneath her, and ensure that their future remained pure. And the young witch took that information to heart as she prepared to head off to Hogwarts, though things were made rather easy as she was sorted into Slytherin, a house known for its blood purity.

Even as she took a seat at the house of silver and green, Valeria had known of a few individuals who would be a good start to her circle thanks to society life. NARCISSA BLACK [close friend], youngest daughter of the notorious Black family, had been first on the list but it seemed that Narcissa had been on the same mission and quickly welcomed her into her group. Through Narcissa, Valeria had made the acquaintance of ELEANOR YAXLEY [close friend], ROSALINE DAVIS [close friend], KLAUDIE BURKE [close friend] and ZARINA ZABINI [close frriend] all girls had come from proper families and Valeria knew her relationships to them would be beneficial. As with any group of girls, the drama was never far behind. Valeria would often turn a blind eye to the pettiness of her friends towards the other girls in their year they considered a ‘rival’. Instead she focused on school and while she knew her parents would be happy with whatever grades she achieved, Valeria made sure to study extra hard for all her classes though she found a special love for Herbology. She had a natural green thumb and as the years went on, she began finding solace in the greenhouses, nose buried in whatever new Herbology book she could find.

It was the revelation of her natural skill that led her to gaining the acquaintance of EVANDER HIGGS [friend/potential love interest]. A boy who lurked behind classes to ensure the plants were taken care of or arriving early to get a jumpstart on their classwork, his devotion and attention to the plants is what caught Valeria’s eye and she became fortunate enough to be partnered with him for a project in their seventh year. Knowing that Evander was not the type of person her parents would want her to be associated with, the Slytherin witch kept the conversations limited but over time he wore her down and she found him to be a wonderful conversationalist. As the year went on, their friendship grew stronger as they began to meet up outside of classroom hours, with Evander promising to keep in touch even after they graduated. But deep down Valeria knew it wasn’t going to be that easy, she was an heiress to one of the more important wizarding families and after graduation she knew Antonella would begin the search for a proper husband. Her love of herbology and her friendship with Evander would be a thing of the past if her parents had anything to do with it.

As graduation came and went, Valeria was thrown right into debut season and she struggled to find potential in many of the suitors. She believed it was because she couldn’t get Evander out of her head, the many letters he had sent her hidden away in her room away from the parents that may disapprove. But she pushed those thoughts aside and did her best to work with her parents in finding a suitable match, wondering if she would ever find that person like they did. Many of her relatives on the Bulstrode side of her family had found their matches through importance and who would be best to help them rise above others whereas her mother’s side of the family was big on finding your soulmate. It was after the second season failed to produce a good match that Valeria confided in her mother about her thoughts and fears, Antonella was torn wanting to support her daughter in finding true love but knowing Reginald had been getting tougher on them to keep up the proper appearances. But a solution soon appeared in the form of CRISTIANO PARKINSON [potential love interest], a wizard who Valeria knew of from his relationship with Klaudie and who Antonella knew would make a good addition to the family image.

Christiano was a part of a growing force of individuals that, unbeknownst to Antonella and Valeria, Reginald had taken it upon himself to investigate. The whispering of his mates led him to the discovery of the infamous DARK LORD [leader] and chose to align his family with him. Val knew that the creation of an agreement between the Parkinsons and Valeria was a chance her father just couldn’t pass up, something about making them look good in the eyes of this powerful Dark Lord. She was unsure about such a force, being a soldier herself was a different path than she imagined she’d find herself on, but with the knowledge that Christiano was amongst the group as well, she found the strength to join. The surprises have kept coming though as her father has let it slip he’s been putting in a good word about her natural Herbology talent and he’s hopeful that the Dark Lord will want to use that talent to his advantage. Word on the street is that SEVERUS SNAPE [acquaintance] may need assistance with the potions he’s creating for the Death Eaters, as someone with a natural green thumb she might just be the perfect person to help him out.

— his story starts with ;

Ajax Davis has always been a strong character, though as he’s grown older, his once admirable trait has become a cause of concern for his family. The middle child of his family Ajax has always felt shielded by his older sister CORDELIA DAVIS [sibling] who has felt the majority of their parents expectations. The Davis family own Moribund’s, an exclusive club in Knockturn Alley, their grandparents had founded when they moved over from Ireland. Moribund’s was their trump card, placing them a head and shoulders above other pure-blood families that weren’t in the Sacred Twenty-Eight and ensuring those who were, respected them. For as long as Ajax could remember, his sister was groomed to take over the club. For Ajax, their plans were simple. Find himself a fine partner, preferably from the Twenty Eight to strengthen the Davis bloodline and produce an heir. Whilst Cordelia was expected to work to keep their family in credit, Ajax was to live off the money and strengthen them socially, which of course sounded fun to most young boys. His path in life was somewhat enviable, though Cordelia never spoke out of turn and did everything their family asked. 

His younger sister ROSALINE DAVIS [sibling] had full ownership of being the difficult family member. Like Ajax, Rosaline was expected to marry well and become a socialite, but it was quite clear she wasn’t going to tow the line. His sister had great plans of being an artist and under blanket forts and in quiet moments between lessons she’d urge him to think bigger. She’d ask him where he wanted to go and what he wanted to see, but the truth of the matter was Ajax didn’t know. Like most young boys he loved Quidditch, a career in sports seemed dreamlike to him, but with his parents standing he knew they’d never go for him having a job at all let alone one in Quidditch. A departure from family tradition, Ajax was sorted into Ravenclaw, a blessing in disguise as he was away from the watchful eye of his older sister. Ajax quickly found his footing in Ravenclaw, befriending fellow Quidditch enthusiasts, TARAN POWELL [best friend], ZAFIR JAMEEL [best friend] and DANAE ALTON [best friend/potential love interest]. The group were known for being attractive and jock-like, with a light air of snobbery that only seemed dimmed due to a rival Ravenclaw group in their year who believed they ruled the roost. 

KERVENS BORGIN [rival] was also part of the Ravenclaw team, though he spent all of his time with CAIUS BURKE [rival], RABASTAN LESTRANGE [rival] and XERXES ZABINI [rival], which irritated him. Although being friends with other houses was acceptable, as the future captain of the team, Ajax wanted some level of solidarity between the team and was conscious that Kerevens was the kind of person with loose lips that might leak their strategies. Danae in particular believed he was paranoid and that his suspicions were rooted in jealousy, due to a long standing candle he held for Kerevens close friend. AURELIA ROOKWOOD [partner] had been the object of Ajax’s affection for as long as he could remember. Aurelia was the most beautiful girl he had ever met and Ajax had accepted long ago she probably wouldn’t want anything to do with him. Although he thought incredibly highly of himself, Aurelia carried herself in such a way people had suspected she might have Veela blood. She made him nervous, uncomfortable and excited, the only person to ever throw him off his game and make him suspect that perhaps relationships and marriage did not have to be advantageous after all. 

Despite being a half-blood, he was confident there was no better woman on earth than her and not even the most reasonable person could make him reconsider. His best friends of course hated her. Aurelia, like Kerevens, spent the majority of her time with the popular Slytherin group and regularly partook in putting other people down and the occasional wicked prank. Danae in particular despised her, which was incredibly hurtful for him. Entering into the world as a gentleman, Ajax was forced to hang up his broom and captain’s badge to join society, rubbing shoulders with all the people he didn’t care much for at school. His mother would regularly try and set him up with the likes of ANDROMEDA BLACK [acquaintance] and ROSALIE FLINT [acquaintance] but none of them quite seemed to stick. To get his mother off his back, he enjoyed a long courtship with ADRASTEIA GREENGRASS [former partner], whom he had known from school and did in fact find her to be quite pleasant. Adrasteia had big ideas of leaving society and starting her own bar, secretly mixing drinks for Moribund’s rival Eternelle's Elixir of Refreshment behind her family’s back. Over dinner they’d sit and discuss what their life could be like together. 

Now his older sister Cordelia had run off, they’d be running Moribund’s together and Ajax could even maybe try out for a Quidditch team while he was still young and talented. He could have been happy with Adrasteia had he really truly tried, but Ajax found the siren’s call all too loud and sadly for them both he was powerless to ignore it. For Ajax falling in love with Aurelia was like diving into the ocean, tentative at first but then all in. They began dating under Adreasteia’s nose, sneaking around with one another in a scandalous sordid affair. Adrasteia soon became suspicious and called off their engagement. Her leaving was something of a relief to him, with his family already in tatters as it was. His sister had run off to follow her dreams and his father had run off to be with a twenty-five year old. Everyone in his family was finally trying to live their lives according to themselves and it was about time he did also. She convinced him to follow his passions, past the age of being able to play Quidditch he was best off working for The British and Irish League at the Ministry.

Ajax applied and secured his current position, managing all the paper work of the award and scholarship programs that are held in the association. Though it didn’t seem all that impressive, he was fairly senior for his first job and enjoyed working with hopeful players. His mother wasn’t happy he’d gotten a job and she was even less happy when his engagement to a beautiful girl from the sacred Twenty-Eight went up in smoke. Single with his own money Ajax decided to take the leap and go public with Aurelia. He was happy, his mother was outraged and his sister Rosaline was even less happy now that the family name was squarely on her shoulders. Ignoring his family wishes was liberating and despite alienating himself from his mother and most of his friends who thought he was an idiot, he was happy with Aurelia. But old habits die hard and Ajax isn’t positive she’s quit her old ways. A former flirtatious girl with a man’s heart always firm in her grip, Aurelia isn’t a stranger to coming home late and often she doesn’t smell of her own perfume. Ajax is suspicious that the love of his life might be straying from him, but little does he know - an affair is the least of his worries.

tw: abuse

Concealment has long been the motto of the Davis family, possibly because they've been trying to stop their dirty laundry getting aired for generations. Blue-blooded as far back as history books have recorded. Nevertheless their long and traceable bloodline has made them an important family in wizarding high society. Rosaline has never felt the need to live up to expectations set by her family, and has tried to live her life according to her own set of rules, despite the headache it has often caused her parents. To Rosaline, CORDELIA DAVIS [sibling] and AJAX DAVIS [sibling] are the ones to continue the family line and take control of her estate and their family business. The Davis family owned the exclusive Moribund’s in Knockturn Alley, opened up by her grandparents after they moved from Kerry. Moribund’s had a very long waiting list and a very specific door policy. Learning about the right way to set a table, the correct silver to use and the right people to have on a guestlist have always been very boring subjects to Rosaline. She loved art and she longed to take her place in the world of artists beloved by the wizarding world. 

In her home she would take in the beautiful oil portraits that moved and spoke to her, asking them questions about their lives long before they were trapped in time. The process interested her the most, and alone in the conservatory after lessons had concluded on a warm afternoon, she would paint the landscape, pots of flowers or her brother and sister sitting out on the lawn. Being from a high born wizarding family, her parents often tried to wrangle her passion, attempting to steer her towards a career in the ministry. No matter how many arguments it took, Rosaline knew she wouldn’t budge and the sooner her parents understood the better. After Hogwarts she would visit Venice and Paris, seeing the art of the world and painting her beloved Ireland, where she one day longed to return. Sorted into Slytherin house she allowed herself to be collected by NARCISSA BLACK [close friend] and endured the whispering and the girlish backstabbing that occurred between her and the rest of their ‘friends’, ELEANOR YAXLEY [close friend], ZARINA ZABINI [close friend], VALERIA BULSTRODE [close friend] and KLAUDIE BURKE [best friend]. 

Often, the people she associated with felt like colleagues rather than people she genuinely enjoyed spending time with, the only person who really understood that about her was Klaudie. Popularity did suit her, however and with her nose often removed from the drama she established herself as a cool witch, which hadn’t gone unnoticed by the popular boys in Slytherin. RABASTAN LESTRANGE [former partner] was her first boyfriend. She was attracted to him because he was dangerous and someone she thought her parents wouldn’t like, but then they heard his last name and liked him a little too much, so she had to show him the door. Little did she know what was coming. The fall of the Davis family could be likened to dominos, one falling after the other with no way to stop it. Cordelia had always been dependable, the good girl who did what mummy and daddy had said, until she quit the family to become a healer. To most the profession was respectable, but to her mother and father it was sheer scandal. Her father then took that as the moment to take his leave by running off with the head waitress at Moribund’s. 

She was pretty, single and twenty-five. Rosaline had never been fond of her parents, mostly due to their controlling nature, but she’d never considered either of them to be bad people until her father showed his cards. Her mother was heartbroken, but not by her father’s betrayal. Marriage was a strong symbol of status in the wizarding world. No one separated and even the worst of couples stayed together for the show of it all. For a long time she lied about where he was, but rumours began to circle and eventually a tell-all in RITA SKEETER’s [adversary] Scandal Sheets exposed the family. Where her brother had often been the person of reason in many of these cases, his brain had now been turned to mush by a girl he was seeing. A half-blood, much to her mother’s disgust. Her once headstrong brother reduced to being a puppet on a set of strings, consumed with puppy love and not caring who asked any questions. With numbers at Moribund’s declining Rosaline made a choice. If her name meant nothing and people weren’t paying membership, the chances of her making it in the art world were very slim. 

Putting her plans on hold Rosaline transformed herself into a socialite, attending all the biggest parties in the city and cashing in on those important connections she’d made at school. Suddenly Narcissa saw her as a rival and she was on the radar of girls like GENEVIEVE AVERY [acquaintance] and ANDRESSA PARKINSON [acquaintance]. This was all quite meaningless to her, but she preferred people to write about anything other than her family troubles. The Minister’s son HARRISON BAGNOLD [partner] taking an interest in her, certainly did that. A renown philanderer, Rosaline rolled her eyes when he asked her on a date but her mother had insisted she accept him. They were a beautiful couple and Harrison showed her off like the most rare jewel in his collection. He was proud to be with her, as she should be, but Rosaline could tell he loved the idea of her more than he loved who she was. At times Rosaline had tried to add depth to their relationship, but Harrison didn’t like her voice when it was raised or eyes when they showed anything but love. In the end she found her life was easier if she simply stopped trying to be herself around him. 

After the Summer Soltice Ball everything was different. Her evening was normal until, MARLENE MCKINNON [adversary] crucioed her. When she woke up in hospital Harrison seemed different. He was staying back longer at work and secretive about his activities. Trying to occupy her mind and distract her from her lonliness, over New Year she visited Dublin with her siblings away from prying eyes. That was were they met. Their gaze locked over the roses once. Then again in The Changeling pub were he bought her a pint and dedicated a song to her. At a party on New Year’s Eve, she wore a white dress she’d painted like a canvas and FIONN MACMILLAN [potential love interest] told her she looked like art. He dared her to kiss him under the fireworks and afterwards they parted ways into the night without her knowing his name. Back in London in her lonliness she’s considered the moment, craving the attention to distract her from the drama of her troublesome brother, socially shun sister, runaway father and secretive boyfriend. At times, alone and holding her champagne, sometimes she finds her eyes wandering, hoping to catch a familiar face in the crowd.
