#riddle era

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.

Billy Vandendoreen as Cantankerous Nott, father of Theodore Nott and cousin of Abraxas Malfoy. Nott was born in 1928 as a member of a prominent pure-blood wizarding family, deeply entrenched in the politics and ideologies of the magical world. Cantankerous had been a callous, short-tempered, and bitter man, with many believing that he was incapable of genuine affection or kindness. Like many of his peers, Nott became a Knight of Walpurgis, being most notorious for his ruthlessness and cruelty towards the muggleborns he went to school with.

Tom Riddle: I’m not doing too well.

Abraxas Malfoy: What’s wrong?

Tom Riddle: I have a headache and it won’t go away.

*Orion enters the room*

Tom Riddle: There it is again.

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!

@konstantynowitz and @harbinger-0f-spring!! IS IT JUST ME OR DO YOU GUYS ALSO SEE NED FAWLEY AND FLEAMONT POTTER???

[overlord-of-fantasy]

Not the basilisk!

Mr Pringle (jup, that's the name of the caretaker before Filch): *Pouring pipe cleaner down the sink*

Tom: What's that?

Mr Pringle: It dissolves whatever gunk is down there...

Tom, shocked: Neat. Wait. Even the basilisk?!

[hp-confessions]

Tom Riddle’era is more interesting than the era of the Marauders, having a book or movie saga about it would have got so many people being hooked on it.

Druella Black (née Rosier) moodboard

She's beauty and perfection, seducing the world with her golden hair and her ocean eyes, the lady who smiles beside her beloved husband, looking as innocent as one can, yet with cunning in her heart. First and foremost she's a mother.

Sarah Bolger as Hesper Urséline Black, daughter of Regulus Black (I) and his wife, Gomeisa Macnair. She had been the namesake of her paternal grandmother, Hesper Gamp. Hesper was the younger sister of Pyxis and Fornax Black, who were born as twins. Growing up, she had been raised in a separate household from her brothers and father, the latter having prioritized the courtship of his lover Jasper Voclain, over his own family. Hesper’s elder brothers were more acquainted with their younger sister than Regulus was with his own daughter, but they were given responsibilities as their father’s heirs at a young age and were often spared little time to be with her. Unfortunately for the boys, even their gender would not earn them much of Regulus’ attention, which would ultimately leave them in the care of the household staff.

Hesper would be mainly raised by her mother and paternal grandmother, but would not usually receive much acknowledgement of her grandfather, Sirius. The elder wizard had always preferred his grandsons over his granddaughters, so neither girls would ever be given the time of day with him. As a result of her father’s absence during Hesper’s upbringing, Regulus did not recognize his daughter when she came of age and was properly introduced to him.

Gomeisa Black (née Macnair) is an original character of @lazyreinelle.

Toby Regbo as Kasper Avery, a young pure-blood wizard born on January 18, 1928 as a member of the prominent and influential Avery family, specifically the French-German branch. He was the elder brother of Griselda Avery, who would go on to attend Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, rather than Hogwarts.

Avery enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the year 1939, where he was sorted into Slytherin House. During his schooling, Kasper was a classmate of Tom Riddle, although unlike his cousins, he was not a member of Riddle’s “purist cult”. Instead of harboring the same supremacist beliefs as his relatives, Kasper has a more progressive mindset concerning the acceptance of muggles and muggleborns.

Kasper and Griselda Avery are original characters of @jegulustragedy!
