#oc: llwelyn

[kockatriceking]

whole buncha sketches of Llwelyn Winters, my Fallout OC. he's not any of the protagonists, he's just your average friendly travelling trader who sells delicious food and other scraps. a regular guy, apart from his albinism

...well, he can transform into a Deathclaw. that's probably not so average, actually.

Llwelyn's parents weren't vault dwellers- born and bred Wastelanders, his father was a trader while his mother was a hired gun. They stumbled across Vault 298 when on their travels, seeking refuge from deathclaw attacks.

There they met Dr Rald. The Dr was the last of the Vault Dwellers of 298, but not through luck- no, he engineered their deaths. He had experimented on each and every one of them, mutating them beyond viability, in a quest to create the ultimate survivalist. Somehow he convinced Llwelyn's parents of his noble goals, and his mother agreed to be experimented on.

It would be her demise.

Llwelyn tore his way from her womb when he first transformed. The young Deathclaw then turned on his father, and would've killed the Doctor if he hadn't sealed the medical chamber's doors against him. But was Dr Rald rightly horrified at his actions? No. He was simply in awe that at last his creation had worked- he had created a perfect survivalist, the perfect predator- a Deathclaw that could disguise itself as a human. He continued to experiment on Llwelyn, the child growing up under an influx of chems, radiation, and bioengineering. Making him faster, stronger, tougher, giving him the regenerative abilities of a lizard, the heat-sensing ability of a snake, and of course the all powerful strength of a Deathclaw. There were drawbacks, of course. Llwelyn's snow-white skin being one of them. His albinism makes him not only highly distinctive, but affects his vision poorly and leaves him vulnerable to bright lights. The other setback was the pain of transformation- staying in the human form hurts, aching bone-deep pain that's unaffected by chems. He's immune to them all by now anyway.

Unfortunately, the Doctor was not a particularly pleasant parent, and his own personality is what caused his demise. He frequently forced Llwelyn to fight and kill other Wasteland creatures, from radroaches to dogs to fellow deathclaws. Eventually he began bringing in raiders. Traders. People. All to "test" Llwelyn's strength, his loyalty, his weaknesses.

He finally decided on Llwelyn's 13th birthday that he was old enough to truly test his mettle in the Wastelands. Believing Llwelyn sufficiently broken, and would never leave his father figure, he arrogantly didn't use any kind of preventative measure to stop the youth from leaving.

The moment Llwelyn stepped outside he was gone.

The Doctor hunted him. Of course he did. Posters and bounties for the snow-white deathclaw still can be found in the settlements around Vault 298. It was described as a legendary beast, a powerful monster nigh unkillable with its rapid regeneration and quick thinking mind. He wanted it caught alive- but would pay handsomely for its corpse. He also offered a bounty for his wayward runaway son, a simpleton who just didn't understand the dangers of the Wasteland. Many money-hungry glory hunters sought the albino deathclaw. None ever made it back. The hunters slowly dwindled even as the money grew. Nobody wanted to fight something so horrific as that. The Doctor grew desperate. Too old to hunt Llwelyn himself, without the aid of Wastelanders he had no chance.

Until someone finally answered the bounty call.

Llwelyn himself.

Now 20, the boy's time in the Wastes had changed him. He'd met a kind lone wanderer who'd also escaped a vault and who offered him company in the empty lands. The kind stranger taught him everything about the Wastes, taking on the boy as a wayward son. They'd parted ways with much sadness but also many happy memories, and now Llwelyn returned alone to finish his own personal quest.

He killed Doctor Rald.

Free at last from the good doctor's influence.

The rumours of the white deathclaw never stopped, despite it never being seen. It's said it was the one that tore apart Dr Rald, the man offering its bounty, as some kind of retribution.

Whatever the story, it's something the lonely trader isn't interested in telling. He's just come to the Commonwealth and is far more interested in selling his wares to the people of Diamond City than silly stories about scary monsters. No, it's not odd that he sleeps outside of the protective walls of Diamond City, in nothing but a simple tent. Plenty of people survive sleeping rough. Raiders and radscorpions and super-mutants and ghouls aren't that common. No, he's never seen nor heard any Deathclaws about. They don't commonly reside near Diamond City anyway. It's probably just rumours and imagination. Yes, he's heard about the band of raiders found ripped to shreds nearby. Probably just super-mutants and their hounds. Nothing to worry about. Incidentally, would you like to buy his new stock of guns? Still smokin' hot!

HPHL Appreciation Week Day 4: Favourite Ships that aren’t Mine

Part 4 of @endlessly-cursed‘s event

Ethel Hexley (@the-al-chemist) and Lysander Mercury (@slytherindisaster) 

A rivals to lovers ship where the two of them bicker but there’s actual chemistry between them? Hell to the yes.

Siobhan Llwelyn (@kc-and-co) and Galen Stagg (@cursebreakerfarrier)

These two are one of the most adorable ships out there, the fluff (and occasional bit of angst) from these two is so good!

Carolyn Nybery (@lifeofkaze) and Bradford Pendleton (@kc-and-co)

Can I just say that the idea of these two being in an arranged marriage, despising it only to eventually fall for each other was an absolute stroke of genius on behalf of their fabulous creators.

Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy Appreciation Week Day 3: Favourite OCs that aren’t your own.

Part 3 of @endlessly-cursed’s event unfortunately I only have time for a quick appreciation of all the MCs.

First up, Reuben’s Ravenclaw buddies 

Siobhan Llwelyn (@kc-and-co) - This incredible character is part of Reuben’s family, there’s no one else I’d rather have as a found sibling for my boy.

Gwen Archeron (@thatravenpuffwitch) - Two words: Quidditch buddies!

Danny Gibson (@catohphm) - Love this sweet boy!

Marigold’s Slytherin pals

Leila Hellebore (@whatwouldvalerydo) - These two make for a potent pair, god help you if you catch them both in a bad mood.

Adelia Selwyn (@thatravenpuffwitch) and Carolyn Nyberg (@lifeofkaze) - had to mention these two as the trio of Adelia, Caro and Mary are absolutely the Hogwarts fashion police of the era.

Cledwyn’s Gryffindor friend (yes Cled she is)

Ethel Hexley (@the-al-chemist) - In spite of Cled’s insistence that she’s not, Ethel is Cled’s best friend. She may get on his nerves but deep down he does appreciate her.

 Also trying to set him up with people, one of which was Ravenclaw Henry Lovecraft (@lifeofkaze), who he developed a deep friendship with, sharing a love of stories and poetry.

HPHL Appreciation Week Day 2: Favourite ships

Part 2 of @endlessly-cursed‘s event. 

Does it really come as a surprise that my favourite HPHL ship is Reubeila?

Leila belongs to the amazing @whatwouldvalerydo and alongside Siobhan Llwelyn (@kc-and-co) they were what really got me interested in Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy.

From the start Reuben and Leila could match wit, starting out as rivals on the Quidditch pitch. Over the years, Reuben sees a tender side to Leila underneath her prickly exterior. Likewise, Leila saw a strength in Reuben and encouraged him throughout the years.

He developed feelings for her that were (eventually) returned. After Hogwarts, cutting their family out of their lives and forging a new one together.

Another person he’s close to would be Siobhan, Ed and Henry (all of whom belong to @kc-and-co). They became a surrogate family to Reuben, showing him how a family should be. Alongside Cled, Faith and Marigold, they would become a found family that Reuben would cherish forever.

[clovermunson]

@endlessly-cursed you wrote Roxie perfectly!! the “good enough” absolutely killed me because that’s exactly what she would say about Gabriel’s (@slytherindisaster) kissing skills (even though everyone knows the real answer)😂

this was so cute and i absolutely loved reading it!! thank you so much for including my girl in the festivities at the Gray estate!!💙

Weekend With The Grays

𝟔𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓— 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒆? pt.1/?

Lady Gray’s dormmates had gathered in Lady Gray’s luxurious bed. While Siobhan looked at her blue, grey and purple decor, Roxie and Gwen giggled at something and Nadia settled beside Primrose as her closest friend.

“So, I suppose any of you has played Truth or Dare?” Primrose asked.

Nadia nodded and so did Siobhan “The Gryffindorks and I play it most of the time!”

Gwen and Niamh nodded negatively. Prim shrugged “It’s simple enough. We spin the bottle and we ask someone ‘truth or dare’ and if that person answers truth, she must answer one question truthfully, and if she chooses dare, she must do something someone tells them, for example, prank somebody!”

Siobhan smirked ruefully and Gwen and Niamh looked at her in horror, knowing her, it wouldn’t end up well.

The maid served eggnog to compensate the fear as Primrose spun the bottle, landing in front of Roxanne “Truth or Dare, Roxie?”

“Mm… Truth!”

Primrose mulled over the question before asking with a knowing smirk “How good of a kisser is Sapieha?”

Roxanne and Gwen giggled “Good enough.”

The women erupted in giggles as Siobhan mimicked a rather exaggerated way of kissing as she teased Roxanne with phrases regarding her 'version’ of a snogging between Gabriel and Roxanne, thing that made them all laugh.

Roxanne spun the bottle and landed on Niamh “Truth or Dare, Niamh?”

“I’ll go with truth.”

Roxanne mulled over the question before going easy on her “What are you looking forward in the holidays?”

Niamh smiled “See my family again and sing carols in front of the fire.”

Niamh spun the bottle, which landed on Nadia. She decided to be merciful on her “Truth or Dare, Nadia?”

“Dare!”

Niamh asked for assistance for her friends and they plotted for two minutes before Niamh cleared her throat “I dare you to put on some red chapstick, break into Mr. Seymour’s table and kiss him on the cheek, leaving a mark.”

Primrose gladly led her best friend to the other corner of the estate and looked into the big poker room. Her father arched an eyebrow at Miss Erbland with her lips red but said nothing as she sneaked behind Jesse’s chair and her hand cupped his jaw and kissed him, a bright red mark on his porcelain skin. His inmates barked a laugh as he blushed rather violently as both women took the scene to flee the crime scene.

Nadia and Primrose giggled and stopped in the now empty ballroom, doubling of laughter “Did you see his face?” Primrose laughed.

“Something tells me he’ll lose that round.” Nadia commented between giggles, her hands on her knees as they both realised that they were with their hair down and in their nightgowns. They thanked goodness it was winter and not summer… It would’ve been a scandal.

They came back and Nadia spun the bottle, that landed on Gwen “Truth or Dare, Gwen?”

“Hm, dare”

Nadia smiled mischievously “I dare you to send a Howler saying something embarrasing to one of the Gryffindorks.”

They all decided to go for Emerson and they wrote together the Howler, between giggles and pure mischief. They sent it and waited for the results. All over the estate, they could hear it perfectly

YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE IT WAS LICKED BY A COW, EMERSON!!

The women erupted in laughter as they could hear the men’s laughter and teasings over Emerson as well.

Now it was Mira’s turn, and they all looked at her with a smirk. Gwen asked “Truth or Dare, Mira?”

“…I’m doomed either way, am I?” She sighed “Truth.”

“How much do you like Mr. Hawthorne?”

She bit her lip and looked away bashfully “Very.” Her cheeks reddened.

The women erupted in cheers and Mira chugged enthusiastically her bottle of Chardonnay and soon it was Primrose’s turn. Mira beckoned Nadia and the both of them plotted before asking “Truth or Dare, Prim?”

“…What the hell, dare!”

Nadia and Mira giggled “We dare you to crash Mr. Yaxley’s game and say this to his ear…” they whispered it to her ear and her eyes went wide! But at the same time… It’d be Laurent’s turn to be flustered.

“Alright.”

Mira and Nadia escorted Primrose to where Laurent’s desk was and she strided the room confidently, sashaying her hips the right way to Laurent before whispering to his ear coyly “While you clean up nice, I rather much prefer the sight of you bare.” She kissed his cheek, close to his lips and exited the room holding back her giggle. The moment they were away from the wing, they all erupted in giggles and Primrose was bright red.

“I can’t believe I did that!” They all giggled before running back to the room, where they told the story and the girls erupted in cheers and giggles.

“Maybe this game is not so bad…” Niamh smiled.

“Another round?” Gwen asked.

They all agreed in cheers, unbottling another wine.

Niamh Kelly belongs to @unfortunate-arrow | Nadia Erbland belongs to @gcldensnitch | Gwen Archeron belongs to @thatravenpuffwitch | Mira Iverach and Emerson Page belong to @cursebreakerfarrier | Roxanne Haley belongs to @beloved-bucky | Gabriel Sapieha and Laurent Yaxley belong to @slytherindisaster | Siobhan Llewellyn belongs to @kc-and-co

[that-scouse-wizard]

I’I also missed your presence in this round. Changing things up for a couple of rare matches.

Reid & David

Siobhan & Cled

Reid and David

These two swap stories of what inspired their tattoos in later years. Also David would help promote the hypoallergenic Quidditch pitch grass seeds.

Siobhan and Cled

Siobhan has most definitely cooed over Cled's wolfhound despite it being nearly as tall as she is.

[that-scouse-wizard]

Take your pick between Reuben & Siobhan - David & Orion - Marigold & Brady or all of them if you feel like it

You gave me the option for all of them... so you’re getting all of them mate!

Reuben and Siobhan

-These two absolutely note down the birthdays of any dragons or magical creatures they rear and celebrate them like they would for a person.

-Frequently discuss books that they’ve read in the Ravenclaw common room.

-If ever these two get to meet up they do so over a glass of one of the Willows spirits and always swapping stories of their adventures with magical creatures. Also discussing their partner’s accomplishments.

-Reuben is insistent that Siobhan be one of the first to see Connor after he’s born.

-These two have definitely baked cakes and pastries together.

David and Orion

-David met Orion in first year after receiving a letter from his dad about joining him for Christmas. Keep in mind this pissed David off as he had little contact with his dad in years.

-He didn’t actually get Orion’s name at first but learned who he was from Sprout after asking about the odd senior student who had told him “To go forward, sometimes we must go back. Whether you discover something or not, you shall find an answer.” Basically, go to your dad’s and you might get closure.

-Orion saw the potential in David and Judith Harris (@judediangelo75) as beaters. This was how he convinced Erika to train them both went:

Erika: “Why should I train these two, Amari?”

Orion: “Because if you don’t, Phoenix will.”

Erika:...

Erika: “Right! You two! Start swinging, I want to see your form!”

-David occasionally joins Orion for broom-balancing sessions alongside Amelia as a form of meditation.

-Orion named David his successor as captain during his last moment of vivification.

Marigold and Brady:

-They formally introduce themselves in their first year, Brady was going through a bit of artist’s block but when Mary’s fiery locks caught his eye he knew exactly what he wanted to draw.

-While at first he would help her design clothes by providing a visual reference, he soon started teaching her how to draw.

-These two definitely have duets in the music club, the two of them either playing their instruments or singing together.

-She’s definitely making a suit for Bradford that will absolutely help him wow Carolyn ( @lifeofkaze ), she’s basically Hogwarts’ resident matchmaker at this point.

-While Cledwyn and Reuben might be two of her best friends, she’s supporting the Slytherin Quidditch team every time they play. She’s one of the loudest voices in the stands cheering Bradford on.

9, 7, & 4 for the OC or OCs of your choice

Thanks for the ask! I’ll do the Willows boys for this.

David

4)  It is 3am, your OC is in the loopy giggling stages of being sleepy, what are they laughing about and who are they with?

David is with Merula in this scenario, just probably laughing at cheesy jokes he made. She’s laughing along too because she’s the same way.

7)  Out of an impulsive decision your OC dyes their hair and gets a whole new outfit, what do they now look like?

Okay, now I guess this is impulsive? I suppose when David agreed to let Judith style him an outfit, dye his hair partly red and add piercings and stubble. He looks like a badass and honestly, it’s a look David carries into adulthood until the second wizarding war I think.

9)  Your OC makes a poster and ships it to their best friend, what does the poster have on it and how does their best friend respond?

Okay, his best friend is definitely Judith Harris (@judediangelo75), I could see him sending her a poster with a tiger design. I think she’d love it.

Reuben

4) Okay... I have to do this, Reuben would be with Leila Hellebore             (@whatwouldvalerydo). He’s probably laughing about how much bigger he is compared to her (keep in mind he’s over a foot taller than her and he’s basically a slab of muscle. She is not amused but probably doesn’t mind him being a big teddy bear when he’s like that..

7) Depends, a more natural-looking colour and Reuben might be able to pull it off, unnatural like pink or something and it would look terrible.

9) I’m going to say he makes one for Siobhan, and of course it’s a poster with all the different species of dragons on it.

Facts and Fatherhood 1

A/N: Hello everyone welcome to this little one-shot featuring the amazing Edwin Llwelyn (@kc-needs-coffee) the only real father Reuben has.  And let’s just say I may have another story in the works but from Reuben’s perspective as a father. Hope you all enjoy!

Word count: 751

TW for mentions of physical abuse.

When Edwin had first heard about Reuben Willows in a letter from his daughter, he had been intrigued. Just like his little girl, the boy was a Ravenclaw and very much into Dragonology, quite a fan of Edwin’s work as well. It had only been natural to say yes when Siobhan had asked if he could stay for a few weeks during the summer between their second and third year. 

He’d been a good house guest, even at the very least offering to help Henry clean up.. Reuben was knowledgeable, eager, and most importantly dedicated to learning about the dragons they had on the reserve. Before he had left to go home Edwin had been sure to ask him to look out for Siobhan during their time at Hogwarts. A request the young boy had gladly agreed to even if he did seem a bit forlorn about leaving.

When Edwin had asked Siobhan about that, all she knew was that he didn’t have a good relationship with his parents. At that time, a slight feeling of unease had found its way into Edwin’s head, wondering what his parents must have been like. The most he knew, they were influential aurors. He had shrugged it off, hoping it was just that, a feeling.

How he wished he had kept Reuben there at the manor all summer and for all the ones after.

It had been just after the beginning of the summer between Reuben and Siobhan’s fifth and sixth year. When Reuben had sent a letter asking to visit the manor briefly, there was no question to that the answer would be yes. Though what troubled both Edwin and Siobhan was that Reuben had forcibly emancipated himself from his parents and was now staying with his maternal grandfather.

When Reuben had arrived, Siobhan had instantly wrapped him up in a comforting hug. When Reuben had returned it, Edwin shared a troubled glance with Henry upon noticing Reuben’s bruised and cut knuckles. It was after releasing Siobhan from the hug that Reuben had explained the situation. After a heated argument about his OWL exam results, even though he’d done fairly well in them except for Defence Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies. Following the criticism had been an insult towards Reuben’s deceased grandmother. Reuben had used Incarcerous on his mother, preventing her from assisting his father while Reuben had pummelled the man to within an inch of his life. 

It didn’t make sense to either of the two Llwelyn’s, Reuben was always so kind, warm and gentle if a bit stubborn at times. And the way he spoke of his parents as if they were no better than dirt on his shoes, Edwin had just one question.

“What did they do to you to make you do that?”

“I have something to show the two of you.” Reuben had responded, taking off his shirt, sometimes hesitating in doing so. When Reuben had turned his back to them, Siobhan’s horrified gasp had only solidified the rage that Edwin felt building inside him as he so desperately wished to finish the job Reuben had started. Across the boy’s back were scars inflicted where his father had taken a belt to him, some more recent than others.

They were no parents to Reuben, they were monsters. How anyone could do that to their own child was beyond comprehension to Edwin.

From that point, Reuben would spend his breaks from school periodically looking after his granddad or at the manor.

Though it would take another two years before Reuben called him something Edwin was not expecting. During one of the saddest moments in Reuben’s life, the death of his grandfather. Sat on the bed in the guest room that had become ‘his’, Edwin had joined him, putting an arm around his shoulder and told him of how proud his grandfather would be of Reuben for following his true calling and passion in life.

“Thanks dad.” Reuben only realised just what he said when the words left his lips, immediately going to correct it, “I mean, Edwin, Mr Llwelyn... sir, I-”

Edwin’s amused chuckle had cut him off, “Reuben, you’ve been like a brother and a loyal friend to Siobhan, I’ve seen you care for hatchlings as if they were your own flesh and blood. If you want to call me dad, call me dad.” The next words he spoke tentatively as if to not startle his apprentice, “You’ll always have a family here with us... son.”

[that-scouse-wizard]

Fun ask!

10 for Willopeia and same question for Reuben and Siobhan if you’d like

10) Would they believe it if someone told them the other secretly hated them?

Willopeia

I'd say if they weren't together beforehand, possibly. In which case, I could see KC getting a little distant with him and David would probably confront her about it whether it be about her distance or if he heard that she hates him.

If they were together though they would tell the person who told them to fuck right off.

Reuben and Siobhan

Siobhan would probably laugh and say "Yes, and I'm a perfect little lady." sarcastically.

Reuben though might be more inclined to believe it. Might overthink it, believing he's a bother to Siobhan. Might get a little cold with her, which she would surely notice. They would talk things out and make up though... then promptly kick the arse of the person who started the rumours.

[that-scouse-wizard]

A great man once said "#9... #9... #9"

that is also my request for Phoenix, David, and Reuben for the OC asks.

9) They are hosting a get together at their place, who do they invite and what do they have planned for the night?

Phoenix: She is definitely inviting Erika, KC and Judith (@judediangelo75). Their respective partners are welcome to come along. Phoenix has Karaoke planned, alongside an array of canapes.

David: of course he's inviting his step siblings, Judith, Nuri, KC, Lizzie (@lifeofkaze), Cato ( @catohphm ) Diego, Penny and Rowan. Honestly, he's content to have a catch up and drink.

Reuben: He's inviting Siobhan, Galen (@cursebreakerfarrier), Selene, Gwen (@thatravenpuffwitch) Cledwyn, Faith and Marigold. He'll take them on a massive camp out in the countryside around Llwelyn manor.

Thanks for the tag!

HPHL

Marigold Sterling is still open as a love interest. Her family are known primarily for being aurors, hit wizards and Ministry officials but each member of the family is a Maledictus, including Marigold who can take the shape of a fox. The fact that the family are Maledictus is a closely guarded secret.

She was born the eldest child of Clove Sterling, the current heir of the Sterling estate and has two younger siblings, Iris (sister) and Yarrow (brother). She’s pure-blood Slytherin.

ENTJ, very intelligent and enjoys a good verbal spar with though prefers to keep a truly tight knit group of close friends, namely other Slytherins such as Carolyn Nyberg @lifeofkaze​ and Leila Hellebore @whatwouldvalerydo​ but also the like of Cledwyn Ironwood, Faith Renner and Reuben Willows (my other HPHL OCs). She has an obsession with breaking her curse (later revealed to be somewhat bastardised as the source is an amulet frequently seen around Clove’s neck).

This knowledge of DADA, an eye for detail and a love of mysteries results in her pursuing the life of a curse breaker though later settles down to become a fashion designer. She’s lesbian and wouldn’t be afraid to speak her mind if she thought Minerva was wrong about something.

HPMA

Robin and Nicholas Willows

The Willows twins as they’re known are the daughter and son of David Willows and Merula Snyde. They were born post-September 1999.

Robin is the eldest by a few minutes. A Gryffindor with an intense love of all things quidditch, pranks and just generally having fun. Later on becoming a chaser for both the Wimborne Wasps and the English team for the World Cup.

Nicholas is a Ravenclaw, far more serious but no less sassy. Preferring quiet study in the library, looking after magical creatures and camping. He later goes on to become a dragonologist and owner of the Llwelyn dragon sanctuary in Ireland which (by that point has been in the Willows family for generations).

MC Love Interests: HPHL & HPMA

[Underneath the cut are three girls who are all open for a love interest. Two of the three have a set piece of criteria that is required for their love interests. So, if interested please comment or reblog (but be aware that this will be deleted). Thank you!!]

Minerva Eileen Kennedy, born April 10, is the third of seven children born to Ferdia and Alice Kennedy. She is three minutes older than her twin brother, Grant, who is a Gryffindor. Minerva has two older siblings, Thaddeus and Shauna, and, excluding her twin brother, has three younger siblings, Cordelia, Daniel, and Ophelia. She is a pureblood Ravenclaw.

Minerva is an ENFJ. She is quite intelligent and generally warm, but also suffers from a chronic need to always be right. She is also an avid writer and upon graduating, begins on her journey to becoming an author. She does become a successful author, and in her forties begins publishing under her actual name and not with her initials.

Minerva is also a seer. However, her visions come to her in dreams and are very unclear. This is how she knew that something was fishy regarding the death of her father when she was nine.

Minerva is demisexual. She needs a rivals to lovers-type ship and I would say that her ship should have similar vibe to Anne and Gilbert in Anne of Green Gables. (And specifically pre-Anne of the Island)

Minerva’s faceclaim is Claudia Jessie.

Her uncle, then, is Huck Fitzgerald. She is the eldest cousin and happens to be eight years older than her cousin, Nicky. She is a half-blood Hufflepuff.

Clara is an I-FP. She is often refers to as her father’s daughter, and it is true that Clara is very similar in personality to her father. She is generally reserved, but is very kind and soft. In a rather ironic twist, Hogwarts always Clara to find out who she is beyond being her father’s daughter. She becomes both a prefect and headgirl during her years at Hogwarts.

Clara’s sexuality has not been determined yet and she has no specific requirements for her love interest.

A Half-Demon’s Kiss

A/N: Hello everyone, welcome to my latest love in the HP fandom, the HPHL OC community, specifically, the relationship between Reuben Willows and Leila Hellebore that I and @whatwouldvalerydo have discussed. So here it is, I hope you all enjoy!

Word count: 1442

MC friends: Leila Hellebore (@whatwouldvalerydo)

Daniel Gibson (@catohphm) (mentioned)

Siobhan Llwelyn (@kc-needs-coffee) (mentioned)

Marigold Sterling (mine) (mentioned).

Fifth year, September

There was a mild chill in the air on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, hardly a cloud in the sky as the sun shone brightly. Many fifth year students would be dreading the times to come for their O.W.L exams. However, one student sitting along the shore of the Black Lake held no such concerns for the moment. No, Leila Hellebore was on her own personal mission.

Teenage rebellion.

Growing up, she and her sister had been subject to their mother’s teachings. For Leila, she had been taught blood magic, that humans would not understand her demonic heritage, and that the only suitable partner was a full-blooded demon, lest her goals be out of her reach. 

Yet, she had come to realise her mother’s teachings were not entirely true. Over her time at Hogwarts, she made many friends amongst the humans here.

Firstly, there was Marigold Sterling, a fellow Slytherin who she had formed a bond with through their shared love of music. Her cello matching Leila’s piano in perfect harmony.

Secondly, Daniel or ‘Danny’ Gibson as he liked to be known. It was only the occasional good morning or hello from him at first but he had always been friendly towards her despite her aloofness. At last, she reciprocated his greetings and was now a trusted friend.

Thirdly, Siobhan Llwelyn, an enabler of her rebellious side. Oh the two had tried to keep to the lady-like roles they were assigned by society but the whole thing was so ridiculous both would now burst into fits of laughter at the very thought.

Lastly, there was Reuben Willows...

Oh Reuben, though he played the position of beater in the Quidditch matches they faced off against one another in, he was such a gentle giant. He had always goaded her in a friendly manner during Quidditch being on opposite teams, her much smaller height of four-foot-nine compared to his still-growing frame amusing him greatly. She had returned the banter gleefully and he became a friend.

He had been the first she had trusted with the secret of her half-demon nature in her third year. At the same time, had laid bare her feelings of fear on not being able to have a normal life. While surprised, in stark contrast to her mother’s belief, he had not judged her for it. If anything, showing such vulnerability had brought the two closer.

Then, he had confessed to having feelings for her in fourth year. On this very lakeshore no less...

She had panicked, pushed him away, yelled at him in an effort to convince him that she wasn’t good for him. That she was bad, tainted and how could a human like him find feelings for someone like her? She still felt a pang of guilt when she remembered the hurt in his expression that day. Regardless, he had respected her wishes and left her alone.

They had spent a couple of months not speaking to each other, maybe the occasional nod of acknowledgement but no words. The guilt and grief had eaten her up inside, she had missed their banter, missed their friendship, missed... him. 

At last, she had approached him, wanting to talk in private. Apologising for what she had said, and just wishing to going back to being friends. He had tearfully, but gratefully accepted her apology, both had cried with relief in the other’s arms from the months of not interacting finally being ended.

Everything had begun looking up.. until she had received word from her mother, she was looking for a worthy suitor for her. Without Leila’s input of course. Though, it wasn’t just that, her mother attempting to micromanage her life, “Show her the right path.” as she had put it. That involved severing ties with her friends and Leila would not allow that to happen, they were far too important for her to lose.

But Reuben was a slightly different case, the summer had given her plenty of time to mull over his confession. The more she thought about it, the more she realised she had developed feelings for her Quidditch rival as well. There was no denying he was handsome and strong, in more ways than one from what he had told her about his troubled home life.

But she admired his loyalty to his loved ones, his enthusiasm when he taught her about dragons, how he pushed her to be her best and so much more. She wanted to be with him, the fact that it would spit in the face of her family’s ideals was only an added bonus. She hoped he would still feel the same way...

Her enhanced hearing picked up footsteps on the sand a ways off behind her, breaking her from her thoughts. She turned to the source, unable to help her face curling into a smile that revealed her fangs. That got the expected reaction out of the Ravenclaw, smiling at her warmly a feeling of joy spreading through her. Though he looked confused, at the fact that she was sitting down on a chequered blanket with a picnic hamper at her side.

“Lei, what’s all this?” He asked, his brow furrowing. Wordlessly, Leila got up, taking his hands in in her own as her green eyes darted between his face and feet. She tugged lightly, attempting to get him to come with her, he didn’t budge.

“What are you playing at Lei?” He questioned, his tone still steady and calm but clearly trying to wrap his head around his friend’s odd behaviour.

“Come and sit.” She responded vaguely, pulling just a bit harder. In response Reuben pulled his hands from her grip.

“No.” He said succinctly, crossing his arms to stop his hands being taken again.

“Please.” She said, hoping that would get him. Though seeing how obstinate he was being was admittedly starting to grate on her nerves.

“Not until you tell me what’s going on.” He retorted, Leila grumbled at that. She couldn’t exactly come out and say she wanted to kiss the fool now could she?

“Reuben,” She spoke firmly, “If you don’t sit down with me, I’m going to jump you and still have my way.” Her serious tone left no room for argument.

Reuben took just the slightest step closer, towering over her, “Try it.” He challenged. Unfortunately, Reuben had forgotten one crucial detail until it was too late.

Leila’s half-demon strength meant she could easily match him in raw power despite what her slim, petite appearance would suggest. He was knocked over flat on his back in his lack of preparation to brace as Leila lunged for him. He landed without injury, his fall cushioned by the soft sand, but now pinned beneath Leila. Her arms were locked straight, keeping his shoulders down as she straddled his waist. She lowered herself down towards him, causing her grey blonde hair to fall and brush lightly against his cheeks.

He couldn’t deny, the feeling excited him, his heart beginning to race as his steely grey eyes stared into the captivating forest green of Leila’s. Ones that he wanted to get lost in forever. Feelings that he’d sought to bury for the sake of preserving their friendship came roaring back to the surface as he felt his face flush red.

Leila smirked at his flustered but hypnotised reaction, lowering herself down even further, turning her head to kiss him. Reuben didn’t resist as her lips captured his own, in response, his began to to move in tandem with hers. His previously tense muscles relaxing as Leila’s hands moved from his shoulders to the back of his neck, pulling herself closer to him. His arms now free, Reuben placed his hands on her waist but dared not explore for fear of pushing things too far.

At last, they needed the air, Leila breaking their kiss. A gleeful smile making its way across her features, Reuben smiling warmly at the sight of her fangs.

“Are you willing to listen to me now? I really owe you an explanation, about this and... last year.” She stated, her face still inches from his and longing to kiss him again but knew it would have to wait for the moment.

Reuben nodded, “Yeah, I’ll listen.” Leila finally stood back up again, offering her hand to him. Clasping it tightly, she lifted him up effortlessly and without another word for the moment, Reuben let Leila lead him over to the picnic.

If this was why she had called him out here, they truly had a lot to discuss and Reuben was eager to hear every word.
