#riddle era

[arcturus-night-star]

Okay so tomarry fic idea where Harry slips back in time right after his OWLs so the DoM fiasco doesn't happen but most importantly he appears in 1943 I guess? also just right after the exam season. Except he's in London.

Somehow he figures out to get back into his time he has to live through all the years up until that point, kind of like in A Linear Progression by billboard_dinosaur, so when Harry shows up what's technically summer after his 5th year he's old. And married!

He of course married Tom Riddle, shortly after they're done with Hogwarts. Except Tom doesn't become Voldemort. Not fully, at any rate. Because between two parsel speakers that are also scary powerful dark wizards (there is a plot for that) they can switch the Dark lord personality between them as they want. So it also makes it harder to find them guilty of anything.

em... Dumbledore isn't having a good time, when Harry technically comes back. But then neither did Harry when he was disembodied for 14 years. Time paradoxes and all, can't kill your younger self.

Anyway, I'm writing this!

The Ancient and Most Noble House of Black names explained:

I’ve gotten a few asks about my thoughts on the Black family and specifically their names and the middle names I’ve assigned them so I figured I’d make a post and explain them all, along with how I see the meanings of their names translating to their personalities! I was originally going to do the Black sisters and brothers in this one too but it just got too long so you guys are getting Riddle era Black family until I return with the second installment vjnbjgnbj

tw: brief mention of rape in Lucretia's section

Walburga Irma Black:

Unlike most of her family members, Walburga is not named after a star. Her first name is an alternative spelling of Walpurga which comes from Saint Walpurga, a nun born in 710. Saint Walpurga was also given an annual feast day called Saint Walpurgis Night or Saint Walpurgis Eve. Ironically one of the things she was hailed for was battling witchcraft. She was said to repel witches and was known as a healer of illnesses and one of her only talents not fully related to her religion is noted to be very detailed embroidery. I like to pull things from things like this, especially when it comes to characters we know very little about, so what this tells me about Walburga is that she likely did not have a lot of (female) friends which fits with the fact that I generally think the Black family kept to themselves. She was a skilled healer, which is very interesting considering how she’s usually portrayed as a woman who ruins so much. Is she aware of this aspect of her personality and that’s why she decided to learn so much about healing? And at last, she’s talented at embroidery. This yet again fits with another headcanon of mine that the finer families in pureblood society showed their status through things such as embroidery or homemade lace, to show that the women in the family were so well taken care of that they could focus on nothing but raising a family and making said family look good. I would imagine Walburga was taught by her mother.

Speaking of her mother, Walburga gets her middle name from her mother, Irma Black (born Crabbe) which means she is once again not given a name with a connection to the stars. Irma means complete; entire and is derived from the Old High German word ‘irmin’ meaning ‘world’. One could argue that while Walburga does not have a star specific name she is named in a way that could be interpreted as someone’s whole world.

Alphard Pollux Black:

Alphard is named after the star of the same name, the brightest star in the constellation Hydra. Alphard comes from the Arabic al-fard which, if Wikipedia is to trust lol, means “the individual”. The star is also known both as “the backbone of the Serpent” and “the heart of the Serpent”. From this I like to pull a bit of personality. Alphard has a clear connection to his family, one with a noticeable connection to serpent imagery through the Black family’s consistent history of being sorted into Slytherin. He’s an individual, he’s got the backbone to stand out yet still in a way more acceptable to the family and he’s got the heart to still show love and kindness towards Sirius. I think, and I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion, that Alphard values his family a whole lot. Which is ironic, because in part that’s what gets him blasted off of the family tapestry. Another name for this star is Soheil Solitarius, which translates to the bright solitary one. I interpret this to think he’s got some sort of loneliness to him, even within a family with so many people. That is what being too much of an individual in the Black family gets you. You can only push it too much before you become an outsider and I think Alphard is living right on the cusp.

Just like Alphard, Pollux is yet another star that is the brightest in its constellation, this time it’s the Gemini constellation. Just like how Walburga got her middle name from her mother, Alphard got his from his father. The name Pollux, albeit also the name of a star comes from the twins Castor and Pollux in both Greek and Roman mythology.

As a fun little extra thing, I think Alphard’s fun older guy that he seduces whenever he feels like it (Arvid Thicket) calls him Hydrae and occasionally he calls him Hydra’s Heart because he’s a sap lol.

Cygnus Phineas Black:

Cygnus was the third Cygnus in the family, being named after his paternal grandfather. It's suspected that Cygnus I was likely Cygnus's great-great-grandfather which would be the father of the second man he's named after, former Hogwarts headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black. Cygnus, the constellation derives its name from the Greek word for swan. Looking at the most common symbolism associated with swans, we can assume Cygnus has a certain amount of wisdom to him, which also works perfectly with the fact that he was named after a former headmaster at a respected institution.

Speaking of said former headmaster, Cygnus got his middle name from Phineas Nigellus Black, the most disliked headmaster of Hogwarts, at least believing the statement from Cygnus nephew, Sirius Black. The name Phineas does not come from a star but instead it is a name of Hebrew origin meaning “the mouth of a snake”/“serpent’s mouth”. From this we can pull that Cygnus not only shares the typical views of his family, but looking at a similar saying “having a serpent’s tongue” which means having a tendency to speak maliciously, we can assume that Cygnus might have been either particularly opinionated, a tendency to come off as harsh or negative or both. I would also like to note that Cygnus is specifically named after Phineas Nigellus and not Phineas Nigellus’s son of the same name (as he was disowned for supporting muggle rights).

Lucretia Elladora Black:

Upon first glance, one might think Lucretia is another Black not named after a star. That would technically be correct, though she is named after an asteroid known as 281 Lucretia, an asteroid belonging to the Flora family in the Main Belt. Lucretia also shares her first name with a noblewoman from Ancient Rome. Lucretia was raped by Sextus Tarquinius and subsequently committed suicide after confessing about the rape to her father and husband. It's said that this act was the/one of the first stepping stones in the rebellion that made the Roman government transition from a kingdom to a republic. While I won't go into details interpreting the fact that her namesake was raped, we can look into the fact that Lucretia was noted to be exceptionally devoted to her husband. I think this is especially interesting given how the Prewett family is connected to the Weasleys. They likely weren't at the time Lucretia married Ignatius but even if they were she probably walked the line of marrying someone too different from the Black family and yet she was so devoted to Ignatius that to her it hardly mattered.

Lucretia's middle name Elladora comes from Elladora Black, the sister of Phineas Nigellus. Elladora was actually alive when Lucretia was born (she died six years later in 1931) so it wouldn't be far off to assume that the two possibly had some sort of relationship. Elladora is another name not derived from a star or anything similar, though it is speculated on Elladora Black's wiki page that the name comes from Elladora's mother possibly being named Ella and Callidora Black (the character known as Callidora Black is born after Elladora of course, being the daughter of one of Elladora's nephews, but knowing how the Black family liked to name their children after previous relatives it does not seem completely unbelievable that there was a Callidora Black born before Elladora that she could have gotten the second half of her name from). There are two takes on "Ella", that it comes from the Norman form of the Germanic "Alia" which means "other" or "Aella", a Greek name meaning "whirlwind". Either way, looking at Lucretia one could argue that they fit in regard to her marriage to someone who is from a family that is not necessarily the most respected and in later years is very much considered an "other" to the Black family. The second half, "Dora" is derived from the Greek word "doron" and means "gift". It kinda follows a similar pattern to Walburga's middle name. Just like Walburga is "someone's whole world" Lucretia is "gift/a gift". Considering the usual take on the Black family I think this is kind of sweet.

On the opposite end, to talk a bit more about Elladora. She is noted as the Black that introduces decapitating house elves and hanging their heads on plaques when they're no longer useful. I think Lucretia would share a similar sentiment to her namesake and a more aggressive/demanding way of handling the elves does not seem far off.

Orion Regulus Black:

Orion is a constellation known for featuring a number of bright stars. It is also known for being a good star to navigate from. Looking at this I think it fits with Orion being the head of his family but also the head of Black family in general based off of the fact that he and his family were the ones to live and grow up in 12 Grimmauld Place, the ancestral home of the Black family. I’ve always found this very interesting with him being the youngest as well. In ancient Egypt the stars of Orion were regarded as a god and to me this tells me that this man holds himself in high regard, likely above others even his fellow Blacks. Ironically the bible mentions Orion three times, naming it “Kesil” which literally means fool. I think this perhaps speaks more to others perception of him rather than his own. I would suspect that perhaps due to his age there would be circumstances where he wouldn’t be taken as seriously, something that would surely infuriate a man who considers himself godlike. In Greek mythology he is described as unnaturally strong which one could pull from for a physical description though I don’t personally. What I find interesting is that he stood up to Gaia saying he could kill every animal on earth and was thus punished for it by Gaia sending a scorpion (the constellations of Scorpius) after him. He was later revived by Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. He’s described as a hunter and a skilled one and while the best way I can think this translates to what we know of him in canon, it could be the way he protects his ancestral home with quite skilful magic. The fact that Orion is made up of so many stars, especially bright ones could also symbolise the Black family in general and how many not only came before him but also how tight knit the family is that he is literally made up of them. This could also be a nod to their incest tendencies, especially given how Orion is the only Black we actually know of (other than his wife of course) to marry another relative.

I am personally a big fan of Orion’s middle name being Regulus, no matter if it’s from a cis or trans Regulus standpoint. Either Orion named both his sons after himself which seems entirely on point with a man that likes himself so much, or Regulus looked enough up to his father and valued family naming traditions enough to name himself after the man. Obviously sharing a name with his son there's going to be some overlap when it comes to personality traits that you can pull from it. Regulus means "prince" and/or "little king" in Latin and this is another time where you see Orion with a name that means something of great importance/something that is generally speaking better than someone else. It is also known as "the king", "the great", "the mighty" and "the centre" as well as one of the royal stars in the Persian monarchy. Even if the whole "heart of the lion" does not fit with Orion in the same sense that some might think it fits Regulus, I'd argue that Orion values/possesses/wishes to possess a good amount of the things that a lion traditionally symbolise, such as courage, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness and valour.

This ended up so much longer than originally planned which is why I'm saving Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa, Sirius and Regulus for another post lol. Hopefully someone enjoys this ramble vjnfjbngjb I've already made multiple people listen to it as it was being made.

This was inspired by an ask I got from @starchildlazaro so I figured I'd tag you since it turned into a post instead of just a normal answer,,,

Riddle era headcanons

Walburga, like her son Sirius, was very rebellious in her youth. Wally’s parents had difficulty suppressing her recalcitrant tendencies and it only got worse once she got to Hogwarts. 100% bullied Muggleborns, probably even tried to hex Tom maybe once or twice before he earned his reputation.

Orion Black and Abraxas Malfoy were the first of Tom Riddle’s peers that he befriended during his first year at Hogwarts. In spite of this, Malfoy was the only one out of the two who joined the Knights of Walpurgis.

There is no doubt in my mind that would lead me to believe that Orion was not a pure-blood supremacist, but I don’t think he was much of an extremist when it came to blood purity. It definitely comes down to how far you are willing to go in order to preserve your own ideals and for Orion that only went as far as to marry your own cousin.

Alphard Black was a metamorphmagus like his grandniece Nymphadora Tonks. Being a metamorphmagi was not widely accepted back in the ‘30s and ‘40s, especially for witches and wizards born into influential pure-blood families so I don’t think Alphard’s parents approved of his abilities and probably implored him not to use them in public.

Cygnus and Druella were a love match which was a rare occurrence for pure-blood marriages at the time.

Tom Riddle’s classmate Rosier Sr. was the father of Evan and Felix Rosier. Rosier Sr. is also the brother of Druella Rosier, which therefore makes him the uncle of her three daughters Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa.

Druella inherited the lighter Rosier traits such as blond hair and blue eyes from her father, while her brother Rosier Sr. got the gene for more darker features from his family like his aunt Vinda Rosier.

Birth order of the Black siblings: Walburga (b. 1925), Alphard (b. 1927) and Cygnus (b. 1929). Canonically, Cygnus was born somewhere around 1938 which would’ve made him thirteen by the time Bellatrix (b. 1951) was born. Most fans have considered this a mathematical error made by J.K. Rowling and so I’m going to put his date of birth around the late 1920s.

Lucretia Black was not a pure-blood supremacist like her family, making her much like her cousin Alphard in that regard. She would later become an ally to the Order of the Phoenix when Voldemort rose into power.

Rodolphus Lestrange is said to have the gift of foresight, which I headcanon he gets from his father Lestrange Sr. Ironically, the raven is the family emblem of the Lestrange family, and in Greek mythology, a raven is the sacred bird of Apollo, God of foresight.

Lestrange Sr. married Tasoula Shafiq, a pure-blood witch from the Shafiq family who are listed in the Sacred Twenty-Eight. The Shafiq family are of Middle Eastern origin which is where I assume Rabastan Lestrange got his name from; the name Rabastan is Arabic for ‘Head of the Serpent’.

Euphemia Potter and Walburga Black were actually very close friends during their time at Hogwarts. The two grew apart especially once they graduated and Euphemia went on to marry Fleamont. Walburga didn’t approve of the match, because even if the Potters were a respectable pure-blood family they were not supremacists.

Orion and Walburga saw their marriage as more of an obligation than a partnership. It was a practical match which neither Orion or Wally were hesitant to accept. The two of them believed that it was their duty to keep their bloodline pure and if that meant marrying each other then so be it.

Due to the House of Black’s constant inbreeding, Orion was born with hemophilia.

Toxic relationship bc duh its tom fucking riddle,lord kink, hair pulling

Tom told you this was a reward, a reward for being so loyal even though everyone at this time was loyal to him but here you were getting special treatment which did inflate your ego, because this could’ve bellatrix under him but it wasn’t, it was you.

But tom was never the type of person to go down on someone, and if someone had asked if he did he would probably scoff with a cringed face, so maybe this was him proving his loyalty to you. You two were never official but everyone knew it, you knew once your relationship with tom hit a certain point that you could not see other people and he had no intrest in others, mainly focusing on his plans and when he needed you or did want your company that was it, he didn’t seek in it others because you were so willing to give what you had.

Even though there was no “what are we” talk you trusted him because ever since bellatrix started blaintly flirting with him and everytime he would shut her down, not only that but you two shared a room which was shocking to you at first when he asked you to stay in his dorm because you knew tom liked his privacy.

Tom’s fingers pressed into your skin harshly, his tongue going over your clit with speed, he was so into it and it shocked you.

You moaned loudly, you wanted to put on a show for him so it made him feel good even though he was doing a great job, you always thats what he liked about having sex with you, you were expressive even if you didn’t say anything or played it up for him.

Grabbing the sheets with one fist and the other hand going down to his hair as you arched your back while moaning swear words. You pulled on his hair, which you didn’t mean to do it just happened in the moment, you retracted your hand and his tongue slowed.

“Please don’t stop, my lord, please” you begged, tom’s hand reached to your hand and brought it back to his hair, keeping his hand on your wrist as his tongue started to get faster. Sometimes he would kiss your clit then go to sucking then go to licking rapidly.

Your fingers tangled in his hair since thats what he wanted, you looked down from time to time to see him and it just turned you on more, you had Tom Riddle on his knees with your legs over his shoulder while he ate your cunt like a starved man and it was all his idea, his own thought. You just wish bellatrix would walk in and catch you two like this, show her something she won’t have.

[midnightstargazer]

Okay, so hear me out on this

There's nothing saying the rest of the Order has to be from the Marauders Era. So what about a Dorcas Meadowes who was Head Girl when Tom Riddle opened the Chamber of Secrets - a Slytherin girl who sat there and listened to him speaking parseltongue to impress his friends. When Slughorn was fawning over the gang of future Death Eaters, Dorcas was taking Auror prep classes and staying as far away as she could while sharing a common room.

She first heard the name Voldemort on the lips of her peers. She rolled her eyes and thought it was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. But when rumors begin spreading after they've all left Hogwarts, she understands at once what's happened and goes straight to Dumbledore.

I ship Dorlene, so let's make Marlene be from the Riddle generation as well. They're rivals at school, maybe even enemies, because even pre-Voldemort, Gryffindors and Slytherins don't often get along. But Marlene also sees the signs. She remembers the charming Slytherin boy who got Hagrid expelled, and she's still convinced he framed him. As members of the brand new Order of the Phoenix, she and Dorcas are reunited and begrudgingly work together, eventually going enemies to friends to lovers.

Later on, they're both targeted far more than the rest of the Order. Because unlike the younger members, they know the truth about Voldemort's origins, and that makes them far more dangerous as far as he's concerned. Hence the attack on the McKinnons (Marlene's siblings/nieces/nephews?) and Dorcas being murdered by Voldemort in person.

[Y/N]: Tom is just so…

Margot: Annoying? Soul-sucking? Horrible? A kill-joy? Weird? Unstable?

Tom: Ok, ouch.

Riddle Era Black Family Headcanons

Lucretia & Orion's side of the family had gray eyes, Walburga, Alphard, & Cygnus's side had dark blue.

Both sides had pin strait, raven black hair.

Sirius & Regulus both looked more like their father and inherited his gray eyes but they both also had Walburga's dimples.

Druella Rosier had curly blonde ringlets. Bellatrix inherited the curls but had Cygnus's dark hair while Narcissa inherited the blonde color and her father strait hair texture. Andromeda's hair was brown and wavy.

Bellatrix & Andromeda looked identical to Walburga, hair aside.

Alphard was a Metamorphmagus like his great-niece Nymphadora Tonks. His hair was usually viridian green.

Cygnus was the forgotten child of the generation. Walburga was the firstborn spoiled princess who also happened to be a prodigy witch and Alphard just had a natural charm that drew people to him.

Alphard was literally Slytherin Sirius personality wise.

Even though all of the Blacks except Lucretia supported Voldemort at one point in their life, Cygnus was the only Death Eater in the family until Bellatrix & Regulus. Orion, Walburga, & Alphard just weren't willing to do any dirty work for anyone.

Alphard stopped believing in blood supremacy later on in life, although, like Lucretia he was never open about that fact.

Orion & Walburga had a low key toxic relationship. They were incredibly possessive over each other and would be foaming at the mouth if they saw each other so much as laugh when interacting with someone else. Despite knowing it would piss their spouse off, they both liked flirting with other people because they both enjoyed attention.

Literally no one thought Orion & Walburga were a good couple. Most people were grossed out by them being cousins like Alphard & Lucretia who were also close with each other but would never have been able to see each other in a romantic way and even those who weren't bothered by the incest found them insufferable when together.

Lucretia had short hair and played Quidditch. She was a chaser and met her future husband Ignatius Prewett in the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match. He asked her out immediately after but she rejected him at first because her family would have some issues with her marrying a Gryffindor.

Ignatius was persistent though and eventually it worked out for them, even though Ignatius had to pretend to be anti-muggle for her family to accept him. However, there was still some tension so they didn't visit her family often.

Alphard was also a Quidditch player and the most supportive about Lucretia's relationship with Ignatius.

I cannot stop thinking about how Minerva McGonagall could have had cousins from her mom's side (considering her mother Isobel Ross, was a pure-blood. )

I'm getting Maimie McCoy vibes since....well, I have always headcanoned for Minerva to have been born in 1925 ( since it would make sense for her to be in her 70's during Harry's era and plus, the Fantastic Beasts addition makes no sense. )

Some parts of this may be canonical but majority are my own imagination.

Dorothea Ross

> Youngest daughter of Allison Ross (neé Travers) and Alastair Ross (Isobel's youngest brother).

> Pure-blood.

> Born on 26 July, 1927 (Leo).

> Their aunt Isobel was not to be talked about in the household since she had married a muggle ( Robert McGonagall Sr, a Presbyterian minister. ) and had 'half-blood' children which was to be frowned upon by the Ross family.

> For some reason, she already had calculated that her cousins must be much older to her (Atleast Minerva) hence she had always been curious to meet her cousins.

> She was in the same year as Malcolm McGonagall: ( 1938 - 1945 ).

> She was sorted into Ravenclaw along with Malcolm. (Yes, I also believe that Malcolm was sorted into Ravenclaw unlike Minnie.)

During one of their talks in the common room, Malcolm mentioned his mother Isobel and that's how Dottie figured out the connection.

Hogwarts 1940s HCs

Fleamont and Charlus Potter are first cousins, although there is quite an age gap between the two of them.

Charlus was born in 1920 and so had already graduated from Hogwarts by the time his little cousin enrolled. I’d put Monty’s birth around the late ‘20s, maybe 1927 or 1928.

Canon puts his date of birth in or around November 29, 1909, but I’d prefer him to be a little closer in age to the Knights — I think most kids from the Marauders era had parents born in the ‘20s and ‘30s, I don’t think Monty should be any different.

Euphemia was the Quidditch player in the Potter family. Not a lot of girls played Quidditch back then, but I like the idea of Effie being amongst the few who did.

James gets his competitive streak from her, Effie was a spitfire back in the day. Like her son, she was a chaser and believe me when I say she fought very hard for her spot in the team.

Effie had her own ambitions, her own goals that she strived to accomplish, and she wasn’t going to let anyone get in her way and keep her from achieving them.

No one wanted a girl playing Quidditch, but Euphemia stood her ground until she got what she wanted.

I headcanon her as Slytherin, perhaps a few years below Walburga Black and Eileen Prince. I’d say she’s around Druella’s age… born in 1928 or 1929.

Minerva McGonagall was never given an official year of birth besides the one on Pottermore which is said to be 1935, but because of her appearance in FB: SoD that created a huge plot hole within the Potterverse timeline.

I’d like to keep her date of birth around the 1930s in canon butttt for the sake of my own personal take on Riddle era and who attended Hogwarts during the 1940s I want her to be born maybe somewhere in… 1923?

I’m not the biggest fan of switching canon when it comes to birth years but I really like the idea of Minerva attending Hogwarts around the time of Tom Riddle.

I don’t think they would’ve interacted much though, given the age difference. Minerva would’ve been fourteen by the time Tom enrolled at Hogwarts, and even if they did become acquainted they probably didn’t get too familiar with one another.

Minnie’s little brothers Malcolm and Robert are twins… I’m not sure if they explicitly say that they are in canon or if I’m just making it up (probably the latter tbh).

They were both born in 1928 so there is a five year age gap between Minnie and the boys.

Mal is a Ravenclaw and Bobby is a Gryffindor

Like their sister, both Mal and Bobby’s animagus forms are cats.

Lyle Lupin was from a pure-blood middle class family, he wasn’t as wealthy as the others but he made up for it with his intelligence.

He was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Lupin’s brilliance didn’t go unnoticed, not even by Tom Riddle who even considered recruiting him into the Knights.

Although this never happened because Tom knew Lyle would just decline his offer.

Lyle wasn’t a blood supremacist obsessed with blood purity, but that’s not to say that he wasn’t prejudiced.

Nonetheless he wasn’t going to take part in Tom’s extremist methods and the two just remained peers who both held mutual respect towards one another for their unrivaled brilliance.

Dolohov is a transfer student from Koldovstoretz. He enrolled at Hogwarts during his fifth year.

Druella had a crush on Tom Riddle.

Riddle obviously knew about this and used it to his advantage. He was very persuasive and manipulative… he could basically get Druella do to whatever he wanted without question.

Dorea Black is the aunt of Wally, Al and Cygnus — she’s five years older than Wally so Dorea was still at Hogwarts when her niece and nephew enrolled (excluding Cygnus because Dorea had graduated by the time he went to Hogwarts).

[morwap]

Can you maybe write about Tom cuddle with reader? His head on her chest as she plays with his hair and gives him little kisses

it was nice to relax with him like this, it didn’t happen often so you were soaking it up as it happened, toms head resting on you with his arm wrapped around your waist.

you scratched his scalp at random times as you ran your finger through his hair. you could tell he was close to falling asleep with the way he was relaxing more and more into you.

you closed your eyes, smiling to yourself knowing no one saw this side of tom, only you.

[disacurveball]

Haha what if the reason that Lucius Malfoy had the diary is because Tom Riddle gave it to closest friend Abraxas Malfoy for safe keeping…who slowly went insane because he could not stop using it as a conduit of his unrequited love. Jk Jk…unless—

[lemongrass77777-moved]

The fact that the only three ways to pronounce Knuts are “Nuts,” “kuh-nuts,” and “Cunts,” like are you really telling me nobody at Hogwarts was making jokes about this?
