About Miles: As the only child of Rory and Frannie O’Neill, Miles was born on April 17, 1918. At birth, he weighed five pounds and seven ounces, as he was born four weeks prematurely, causing his father to marvel at how tiny Miles was. He inherited his mother’s blonde hair and his father’s blue eyes, although his father usually only saw the aspects of his mother in him. He is his father’s pride and joy and has been ever since he was born. He has no memories of his mother, though, as she passed away shortly after he was born.
His father eventually got married for a second time, to Ethel Malinda. Miles liked Ethel. He liked that she never asked him to call her “ma” or “mum.” He liked that his dad was lighter, more playful. He liked the little sisters he got in 1932, when he was 14. The age gap and time away at Hogwarts made it a bit difficult to form relationships with Jane and Kate, but he did his best. Miles liked his new family, even as he wished that he could have been able to know his mother.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Miles was sorted into Hufflepuff, just like his mother had been. He liked being in Hufflepuff. It gave him that connection to his mother and he felt at home in the house. In his third year, Miles made the Hufflepuff quidditch team as their newest seeker. He enjoyed following his father’s footsteps when it came to quidditch, even though he never wanted to go and play professionally.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Miles went on to become an archivist.
Trivia:
As a teenager, Miles had a bit of guilt related to his mother’s death. His father quickly reminded him that it wasn’t his fault. It was never his fault.
Miles has always had a close relationship with his father, who raised Miles by himself for over a decade. Miles knows that he can turn to his father for anything.

About Kate: As the younger daughter, Kate generally takes after her father more so than her mother… except that Kate is extroverted like her mother. She’s got her father’s more cautious nature, except when it comes to matters that she’s passionate about. Then, she’ll throw caution to the wind in favor of standing up for what she believes in. Kate’s got a close relationship with her twin sister and has a pretty good relationship with her older brother too. In addition, her relationships with her parents are also good and close. She knows that she can trust them.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Kate was sorted into Gryffindor, just like her parents had been. She found it easy to feel comfortable in Gryffindor and Hogwarts. She had her twin to turn to when she got homesick, which was nice and helped her to feel comfortable. In her fourth year, Kate made the decision to try out for the Gryffindor quidditch team and earned the position of chaser. There was always a slight pressure to perform as well as her father, but it never came from him. Instead, it came from her peers but it helped to confirm that Kate wasn’t interested in playing quidditch professionally.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Kate decided to follow her mother’s footsteps and became a journalist, her passions leading her to more complicated stories and she was also inspired by the muckraker journalists that she read about in the muggle books.

About Richard: As the only son and middle child, Richard is never what anyone expects. Everyone expects him to be just like his father and grandfathers. A troublemaker. Only that’s never been Richard. He likes to fly under the radar, focusing on what he considers important. He prefers to keep his things organized and would rather not get into trouble. Richard hates the way that everyone immediately turns to him when trouble happens, even after he’s proved that he’s not a troublemaker. If anyone’s a troublemaker in the family, it’s Richard’s older sister, Maggie.
In regards to his family, Richard is probably the closest to his younger sister, Audrey. They just seem to click a bit better. He also has good relationships with both sets of grandparents, although he’s probably the closest with his maternal grandmother. She seems to get him fairly well. He has a good relationship with both of his parents, too, although he’s not sure who he’s closer to.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Richard was sorted into Gryffindor. He enjoyed the house, even if he felt like all anyone could see were his grandfathers sometimes. In his second year, he made the Gryffindor quidditch in the position of seeker. He fell in love with the sport, just like his father had. He also was made a prefect in his fifth year. He enjoyed his time at Hogwarts.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Richard went on to become a wandmaker. He had never intended to go into that field, but stumbled into it after other plans fell apart.
Trivia:
Richard looks a lot like his grandfather, Tadhg. His middle name is also after his grandfather. He also has a decent bit in common with his Granda Tadhg, but Richard is a lot more responsible than Tadhg ever was.

About Willa: Willa is very much her mother’s daughter, sensitive and kind hearted. She’s thoughtful and careful, with a tendency to be rather particular about what’s going on with her stuff. In addition, Willa’s responsible and intelligent. The main thing she got from her father was a tendency to talk incessantly. Willa’s an extrovert who likes to talk and be around people. Unlike either of her parents, though, Willa is not guarded. She’s pretty open and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve.
As the third born, Willa’s pretty content with her spot in the family. She’s six years younger than her eldest sister, four years younger than her older brother, and four years older than her younger brother. It’s a pretty good spot to be and Willa likes getting to be both an older and a younger sister. She’s closest to Arden, by virtue of being together the longest. She also deeply admired Mabel and spent a few years trying to be just like her sister.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Willa was sorted into Hufflepuff. She instantly fell in love with Hogwarts and Hufflepuff. She loved being around her peers, learning, and everything about the magic of Hogwarts. She liked having both of her older siblings at Hogwarts with her, with Mabel being in her last year and Del in his fourth year due to his late birthday. In her fifth year, she was named a Hufflepuff prefect and two years later, Willa became Hogwarts’s headgirl.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Willa went on to a healer. She worked at several different hospitals throughout her life including St. Mungo’s in London and Leighis in Dublin.

Hobbies: Quidditch, fishing, rugby, hurling, football/soccer, reading, skating, board games, movies
Personality: Quiet, intelligent, rational, practical, stubborn, competitive, risk-prone, reserved, independent, kind, reliable
About Arden: In many ways, Arden is the exact copy of his father. He and Colm have the same risk-prone qualities. They’re both competitive and stubborn and practical. However, Arden is a lot more reserved than his father. He doesn’t talk incessantly. He pauses and considers how and when he wants to contribute to a conversation. Arden is still as private as Colm, he just doesn’t talk as much.
As the youngest, Arden is very much the baby of the family. After all, he’s a full decade younger than his sister, Mabel. He’s closest to his sister, Willa, although there’s still a four year age gap between the two of them. Due to these large age gaps, Arden often finds himself being babied by his older siblings. He’s not the biggest fan of that, especially as he gets older. In addition, Arden often finds himself feeling a little jealous when Mabel and Del and then Willa go off to Hogwarts without him.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Arden was sorted into Ravenclaw without much hassle. He finds that Hogwarts is pretty enjoyable and he loves how much he can learn. However, the first month or so each year, Arden feels quite homesick. He misses his parents and their home and their dog. Arden always gets over it, it just takes a while. He also feels a little awkward about it because it always seems to him like no one else is homesick. Plus, by the time Arden arrives at Hogwarts, Mabel and Del have graduated and Willa’s in her fourth year. He feels a little alone at the beginning of his years at Hogwarts. In his third year, Arden makes the Ravenclaw quidditch earning the position of seeker. It makes the loneliness disappear a bit.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Arden pursues history. He worked as an archivist for a few years before becoming a full fledged historian. He eventually writes a book about the history of quidditch in Ireland.
Trivia:
Arden is named after his father.

About Malachi: Malachi is very much his parents’ child. He’s on the quieter side, preferring to keep to himself. In addition, Malachi is quite private and he likes to be creative. He enjoys sketching and drawing and dabbling with paints. He also loves playing wizard’s chess. He can beat pretty much every member of his family at the game.
As the youngest, by nearly a decade, Malachi has spent a lot of time as basically an only child. His older brother, Constantine, had spent most of Malachi’s childhood at Hogwarts, leaving him to spend time alone with their parents. Thus, Malachi doesn’t have a close relationship with Constantine. He deeply admired his older brother, but they’ve never had a close relationship due to their age difference.
Upon starting Hogwarts, Malachi was sorted into Hufflepuff. It took him a few weeks to grow comfortable at Hogwarts and being away from home for the first time. Eventually, Malachi grew to love Hogwarts. In his fourth year, he tried for the Hufflepuff quidditch team on a whim. And while he didn’t make the official team, he was reserve keeper from that moment on, and only played in a total of ten games. In his fifth year, Malachi was named prefect. He liked the responsibility that the position gave him.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Malachi went on to become an arthimancer and comic strip artist. He followed his gut and after tiring of his career as an arthimancer, he made the gut decision to try his hand at comic strips. Much to his surprise, he was able to make a career out of being a comic strip artist.
Trivia:
Malachi shares a birthday with his father. He was born at 12:03 am on November 26, 1935, while Linus was born in the afternoon on the same date 41 years prior.
