[hollowed-theory-hall]

is the 'heir' a thing in wizarding world?

like Heir of Slytherin i think it was most for the plot than real thing, but are Heir of Black/Malfoy/etc the same? or just a baby producer and power holding, especially if ministry and society year by year becomes more distant from pureblood ideology

it's also a common fanon trope for the Heirs (i talk about rings with special powers and goblins), and more often strange than interesting

I think it is. I mentioned in multiple posts my thoughts on the Wizengamot being an older kind of House of Lords therefore being a hereditary position here, here, here, and here. I also mentioned my thoughts about the Goblins being involved with wizarding heirlooms here (the answer is I don't think they are, but write whatever you want).

As for the ministry going further from pureblood ideology every year, I don't think that's true. Not really.

I mean, Arthur Weasley says that during the first war Death Eaters outnumbered the Order 20 to 1:

“Oh, Molly, come on, it’s about time you got used to hearing it — look, I can’t promise no one’s going to get hurt, nobody can promise that, but we’re much better off than we were last time, you weren’t in the Order then, you don’t understand, last time we were outnumbered twenty to one by the Death Eaters and they were picking us off one by one. . . .”

(OotP, 177)

And I don't think he was referring to marked Death Eaters. Even if we look at the Ministry during the Death Eater reign in book 7, very few ministry personnel are actually replaced, many of the people working in the ministry go along with the blood purists or even agree with them — like Umbridge.

We also know in the last war Voldemort had many followers, even within the ministry:

“Well, firstly, he wants to build up his army again,” said Sirius. “In the old days he had huge numbers at his command; witches and wizards he’d bullied or bewitched into following him, his faithful Death Eaters, a great variety of Dark creatures. You heard him planning to recruit the giants; well, they’ll be just one group he’s after. He’s certainly not going to try and take on the Ministry of Magic with only a dozen Death Eaters.”

(OotP, 93)

“Tonks and Arthur would lose their jobs at the Ministry if they started shooting their mouths off,” said Sirius, “and it’s very important for us to have spies inside the Ministry, because you can bet Voldemort will have them.”

(OotP, 94)

Even families like the Weasleys who are considered blood traitors, are condescending towards muggles, muggleborns, and squibs. Ron mentions this in book 1:

“Are all your family wizards?” asked Harry, who found Ron just as interesting as Ron found him. “Er — Yes, I think so,” said Ron. “I think Mom’s got a second cousin who’s an accountant, but we never talk about him.”

(PS, 73)

So, really, blood purity is more of a scale than a yes or no sort of thing, and their entire society is steeped in it. Their very language is influenced by it. I mean, Harry is referred to as a "half-blood" even when both his parents were wizards by practically everyone. (there is a larger reblog chain about this here)

“And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be ’Wizards first’?” asked Lee. “I’d say that it’s one short step from ’Wizards first’ to ’Purebloods first,’ and then to ’Death Eaters,” replied Kingsley. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”

(DH, 378)

Kingsley's stance seems to be in the minority. The fact is that even common, random wizards, not part of the Order or Death Eaters, still believe wizards should come first. Kingsley is right in how easy "wizards first" can become to "purebloods first" and that's the society they live in where, for the average wizard, muggles are seen as lesser. Their lives aren't treated as having the same worth as a wizard's life.

The wizarding world is steeped in their bigotry even among people who aren't Death Eaters, so I don't think it's correct to say their society is moving away from pureblood ideology, they're all blood-purist at a different point on the scale.

hello 😞

um can you explain the reasons you like snape?

Hi!

Sure.

I can't in fact remember when I started liking Snape, it happened as I was growing up with the movies, though I do know that by the time Half-Blood Prince came out in 2009 he was already well established as my favorite character, as I had friends take photos of me near a cardboard cutout of him at the cinema (I was 13 at that time).

So, I can't pinpoint what is the one thing that made me like him. However, I know that I started really loving his character more deeply when I read the books right after seeing the HBP movie. I discovered just how different he was in the books, and how much better his character was.

To answer your question... I love everything about him, including his many flaws.

He's hilarious, he has some of the funniest lines in the series. His sarcasm made me laugh as a young teen, even and probably, specially because it was directed at teenagers of the same age I was.

He's mysterious, for 95% of the series we have no idea what he thinks, what he's doing and why he's doing it. We just know that something is going on, but we don't know what. It makes him intriguing and makes you want to know more.

He's brave, and selfless. He risks his life on a regular basis once Voldemort gets back, he agrees to mercy kill Dumbledore, effectively getting himself branded as the second most hated man in the country and even by people who at minimum respected him (colleagues he'd been working with for 15 years, people who saw him as a friend), and he expects nothing in return. He dies a gruesome and painful death, though thankfully not alone, knowing that everyone who'd ever liked him, that everyone in the whole world, despises his guts because he had to do what no one else could to save thousands of lives.

He's petty, and cruel. I won't teach anyone anything by saying that Snape is a bully as a teacher, and that he enjoys it. Yet, this is also one of the reasons I like him, because it creates an amazing juxtaposition with the previous point. He's a hero... and an asshole who makes children cry. He will do everything in his power and more to ensure that his students are alive and stay that way, but damn if he won't crush their spirit in the meantime as well.

He's skilled. He's a potions genius, who was rewritting recipes as a teen. He invented spells also as a teen, both being things that even Hermione never attempted to do. He thinks outside the box, and he's an excellent duelist, but he relies on his intelligence more than rough power and fighting prowess.

He's traumatised. Snape has one of the worst childhood/backstories of the books. He was abused as a child by his father, grew up watching him abuse his mother, he lived in such extreme poverty that the Weasleys would look like the royal family to him. Then he got to Hogwarts, and we can see how excited he is to finally go somewhere he won't be forced to hide who he is, to be somewhere he belongs... except he meets his future bullies on the train and reality catches up to him fast.

He's "relentlessly bullied" for the next 6 years ish, with no escape. And yes, teenage Snape was no saint, he was no angel, but no child deserves this kind of torment. Every single day we hear of teenagers killing themselves because of bullying. As an adult he shows obvious signs of trauma from what the Marauders did to him, and it's very sad to see.

I need to stop at one point because I don't think you were asking for a whole ass novel about Snape, but there's so so much more to say about him. I'll just link to @said-snape-softly's answer to a post recently that was asking roughly the same thing, where they explain why they love Snape and added a lot of great metas to help you or anyone else better understand his character.

The sky was a blueish-gray, and endless dark clouds circled the sky like vultures, eating away at any rays of sunshine that might've pushed its way through. The world around you was that same blueish-gray, with a thick coating of dust, dirt, and grime that wafted into the air with every tired step that you took. The school, the place you had come to find as your second home - a home away from home - was in ruin. The tension in the air was dense, almost suffocating as you held Draco's hand tightly in yours; your wand gripped securely in the other. After the first initial fight, you were bruised and battered, but never once did you leave Draco's side.

You had been inseparable ever since the end of your fourth year together. Before then, you and Draco butted heads, he verbally bullied you, embarrassed you, and called you terrible names based on your blood status. You, on the other hand, were quite quiet, but you didn't hesitate to stand up for yourself. You were both stubborn to a fault, neither of you allowing the other to win in these little verbal fights you both had in the halls. It wasn't until after the end of your third year that you realized how much you cared about Draco Malfoy. It was a bittersweet realization, because, well, it was Draco, and you couldn't help but feel guilty over it - seeing as he used to bully you, and your friends; the Golden Trio.

In October of your fourth year, you noticed a slight change in the Slytherin. He wouldn't make any nasty comments towards you when you passed each other down the hall, and he'd even stop his so-called friends from saying anything to you or about you as well. You were beginning to think he was growing soft, or growing up. And Draco surprised you further by asking you to the Yule Ball later in December. You had begun to see the sensitive, sweet boy beneath that arrogant exterior, and you decided to give him a chance. And from then on, you and Draco grew closer than ever before.

From little dates in the Astronomy Tower, sitting together during shared classes, conversations during free periods near the lake, and even sneaking out past curfew for sharing snacks and kisses; you and Draco became inseparable. You found comfort in his presence, and you could tell that he felt the same way about you. And by the end of your fifth year, Draco asked you to be his girlfriend.

You met Draco's parents not long after, his father insisted that you come, wanting to know everything about the girl that distracted his son from his studies, as it were. Supper at the Malfoy Manor was uncomfortable and awkward. Draco's father was stern and cold, while Draco's mother was polite, and asked pleasant questions; she seemed to have liked you. One thing that puzzled you during that dinner though was that Draco had told you beforehand that his father would never let him have a relationship with someone who wasn't pure of blood. Sadly, his father’s prejudice on your blood status was one of the things that tried to drag you and Draco apart. So why did Lucius Malfoy allow you to continue dating his son? Why did he look you in the eye and almost reluctantly say that you could continue seeing his son? What did you do? What did you say that would warrant such a strange response from a man who held such high expectations for his son? Or... Most importantly, what did he know? What did he know about you? You should've known that something else was simmering behind those malicious gray eyes of his.

Lucius Malfoy knew your secret, and he was going to use it against you; which led to the scariest night of your life.

"I know who you are," You immediately tensed up upon hearing his voice... All you wanted was just some tea.

Turning around, you looked up at the man at the entrance of the kitchen, his long platinum-blonde hair and pale skin stood out against his all-black attire. "Pardon me?" You spoke up, holding the warm mug in your hands, your tea steaming.

Lucius entered the room, slowly, almost as if he was stalking his next prey, which was you. "You are fourth in line to the throne."

At that, you paused, your eyes narrowing slightly, "I don't think I know what you are speaking of, Mr. Malfoy." You replied coolly, taking a sip of your tea.

He smirked, stepping forward another two steps, sweeping a few strands of his hair over his shoulder with a simple swish of his hand, "You're the Princess of Wales."

You scoffed, shaking your head as if his statement was ridiculous, "A princess? Really?"

His smirk fell at your light laughter, "I may despise your kind, but I know well enough of the royal family. And you, Miss L/N, are one of them."

"I'm not a princess, I'm not royalty, and I never was." Ending the conversation as you turned around, facing the counter once more, but you didn't hear him leave.

"Hmm," He hummed, the click-clack of his cane hitting the marble floor made a shiver run down your spine, "It would be such a pity if the Dark Lord got hold of you, my dear."

You sighed, rolling your eyes, "I highly doubt that he would ever take an interest in me, and I assure you, I am just a simple Muggle-born." Turning, you gave the man one last look, "I don't care for your disdainful looks, nor your rude words, and I don't care for your threats, either. If you want to get rid of me, then go right ahead, but you'll regret it. Now, if you'll excuse me, your son and I are going to enjoy our evening." You turned back around, leaving the kitchen without another word.

"And what if I told Draco? Hmm?" He called out to you, turning to watch you leave out into the hall, "I would watch what I say and do carefully."

Your heart pounded in your chest, your palms sweaty. You didn't answer him, instead, you continued walking.

~~~

As Voldemort walked forward, his horde of followers trailing behind him, you spotted Hagrid with Harry in his arms. Your grip on Draco's hand tightened as Voldemort came to a stop, his loyal serpent beside him. Your free hand held onto Draco’s arm, your cheek digging into his shoulder at the sound of Ginny's screams.

"Stupid girl. Harry Potter is dead. From this day forth, you put your faith in me." Voldemort exclaimed before turning to his followers with a large grin. "Harry Potter is dead!" He laughed, laughed before continuing, "And now is the time to declare yourself." He stretched his arms out wide, "Come forward and join us..." He paused, "... Or die." His words seemed to echo throughout the grounds, as Lucius called for Draco, followed by his mother, Narcissa.

You tightened your hold on Draco's hand and arm, digging your cheek further into the fabric of his dark, black suit. You began to mutter over and over again, pleading, begging for Draco not to leave your side. Looking up, your eyes met him, his stormy gray eyes that held so much anguish and fear. You bit your lip, trying to quell the tears that threatened to spill.

"Draco!" His father tried once more, more commanding as if he was scolding the young man, Draco's eyes left yours to stare at his parents as his mother took a step forward.

"Come." She said softly, simply, and you began to panic when you felt Draco's hand twitch slightly in your tight hold.

Raising the hand from his arm, you gently cupped his cheek, moving his head to look back at you. "Draco, please," You pleaded, your eyes searching his face, "Please, don't go."

His eyes softened at the sight of your pained expression, "I'm sorry," He whispered to you, making your eyes widen as he slowly slipped out of your hold.

"No, no, Draco!" You called out to him, watching in horror as he made his way to the other side, but not before being engulfed in the Dark Lord's arms in an attempt to hug.

Tears fell freely from your eyes as you felt Luna place a hand on your shoulder, her comfort coming only a moment too late. You stood there, almost a shell of your former self, watching as Neville slowly limped his way forward, and for a moment, you thought you lost another great friend to the dark side as they laughed and laughed. But, from his speech and at the glint of the Gryffiondor sword, you felt a flicker of hope burn within you as Harry sprung to life, practically leaping out of Hagrid's arms. And imagine your surprise when you watched Draco - your Draco - run across the courtyard, tossing him a wand.

A rush of pride filled you as he ran towards you. You met him halfway, jumping into his arms, hugging him close to you as his arms wrapped around your waist with a desperate grip. You buried your face in his neck and breathed in deeply, feeling the warmth of his body against yours. You pulled away and looked up at him, smiling brightly.

"Draco," You murmured to him, squeezing his hand, "Did you plan that or something?" He smiled down at you, but before he could answer you, you whipped your wand out and shot a Death Eater over Draco's shoulder. "We should fight, talk later." You grinned, as Draco took your hand in his.

"Yeah," He muttered, "Good plan, love."

The Battle of Hogwarts was a nasty one, one that you both hoped to never live through again. You and Draco did your best to stop the Death Eaters that came your way, and after what felt like hours of running down halls and fallen corridors, there was finally silence. That silence was followed by a sense of relief and peace that enveloped your bodies and calmed your souls. Entering the Great Hall, you looked up at the sun shining down upon you from the large hole in the ceiling. You couldn't help but smile, tearing up slightly at the realization that Voldemort was dead. Sitting down, you and Draco watched as other students, professors, friends, and parents trickled in, finding their own spot to sit and take a breath after the battle that they all fought so hard to end.

"Thank goodness," You sighed, looking around the hall. You spotted Ginny sitting at a table with most of her family, and Luna before she headed down the hall, and lastly, you waved to Harry, who gave you and Draco both a tired, relieved smile. You looked away from them, focusing on Draco as he sat beside you, his hand resting on top of yours on his knee.

"How are you feeling?" You asked him, leaning in closer to him.

"I'm okay. What about you?" Draco asked, interlacing his fingers with yours, careful of the small cuts on your knuckles from when you punched some random Death Eater.

You hummed, "Like I just got hit by a train," You gave him a light nudge before your eyes widened as you looked up at Draco with a huge grin, "Oh! Now that old Voldy is gone, I have something to tell you."

"What's that?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

You laughed lightly, "Well, it’s all good news, you don’t have to worry." You leaned in, kissing him on the cheek before whispering to him, "I'm a princess."

Draco's eyes widened as he simply stared at you, confused, "What? You're a princess?" He asked, and you nodded.

"I am the Princess of Wales." You told him, "I wanted to tell you but if anyone found out it could endanger them, but now that Voldemort's gone, I can tell anyone I wish."

Draco seemed taken aback, blinking rapidly as he pulled back from you slightly to look at you, "You're pulling my leg here, aren’t you, love?"

You shook your head, "No, I'm not pulling your leg. You know me, Draco, I am a terrible liar, especially to you."

Draco stared at you for a long while, pursing his lips as he watched your eyes. It was true, there was this look that your eyes gave that told Draco that you were lying - that really gave you away. But this time, your eyes just shined right back at him; not a lie in sight. His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water before he cleared his throat, "I'm dating a princess..."

You laughed at his shocked expression, nodding your head, "Yes, yes, you are."

"Bloody hell," He muttered, making you throw your head back as you laughed.

"Dray..." You place your hand on his arm, "You're sounding like a Weasley!" You giggled, making Draco's gaze on you soften. He shook his head, finding himself laughing along with you, smiling a real, genuine smile that made you feel all warm inside. Just hearing his laugh made you happy, and made you forget everything else that was going on in your life. "So, what do we do now?" You asked him, resting your chin on his shoulder, his fingers playing with your hands in his lap.

Draco only shrugged a shoulder, his eyes glancing up at you, "I haven't a clue. Do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm, a vacation, and after that…" You pondered, pursing your lips lightly as you pulled one of your hands from his to gently card them through his messy hair. "How about you meet my family?" You offered, and Draco's face lit up, "They'd love to meet you."

"Really?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, "Do you think so?"

You nodded, "They already do. Especially my brothers, and they’re pretty protective of me, so that’s like a huge plus." You leaned in, brushing your nose against his before giving him a quick peck on the lips, "They all already love you, I promise, and it's my fault really, seeing how I've written about you since I was thirteen."

Draco's cheeks warmed as he smirked at you, "I'd love to meet them, love." Draco spoke, turning towards you slightly, "Pardon, I mean, your Highness." Draco lightly teased, making you roll your eyes playfully as he leaned in, his nose gently bumping against yours.

You couldn’t stop your smile from growing, “Such a tease.” You muttered before continuing, "I'm glad you came back."

Feeling him nod slightly as his hand came up to cup the back of your neck, his fingers tangling in your hair there. With a small, shaky sigh, Draco answered, "Me too, love, me too." And with that you let yourself sink into his embrace once more.

random facts about myself because this is my blog anyways: ♡ when i was 8 my pinky finger was unfortunately cut a third, like the tip of it yk, by a door that slammed really fast because of a storm at that time, and my cut off finger was joined by inserting a rod in it. the rod is taken out but now i have a funny pinky finger that does not bend. ♡ i am multilingual, aka i can speak marathi, hindi, english, spanish (i cant get the accent right but rest is okay) and korean (beginner level, just enough that i can understand kdramas mostly without subtitles). ♡ i have a fear of heights despite that i am unusually interested in roller coasters and bungee jumping, however my parents refuse to take me to any of these because i will "fall". ♡ my mother is scared shitless of water, so i once made a joke of how i would love to drown in the ocean and was immediately enrolled in a swimming class and that is how my dreams of dying among the phytoplankton and starfishes were destroyed. ♡ i love all types of fruits but banana tastes boring to me now and i also do not like watermelon for some reason. mango, kiwis, muskmelon, apples, oranges, and pineapple are my absolute fav. ♡ i used to have waist-length hair, very wavy and very thick, it was gorgeous but i hated having to maintain that so i cut it off and got a boycut. after that it has grown to a small dora the explorer length hair and it makes me look really innocent so i like this look.

and ofc you cant forget the lovely moots: @napoftustar @thejudeduarte @you-are-my-king-now-cariad @isthataraccoon @technicallyeldritch @ackerbabezzz @batzswrld @archerons-elain @ficnoire2 @sweetestblacktea @bloodmaarked @okeyisenough @thevoidhasarrived @goosemeggs @gewoonaardig2 @massiveladycat @infamouslyclumsy @literally-mariah @simzmil @tum-naam-sochlo-merese-ni-hora @refreshinglyemodemons @sweetdeerart

Major Plot Changes | Avalon

Given that this reality is inspired/based upon Ellory’s Pureblood Culture ‘verse, things are vastly differing from what’s “canon” in HP. Aside from that, though, here are some of the more major changes to the plot we all know and love. Anyway, it’s a bit long because I got excited going through my script lololol im also nawt a fan of Dumbledore, so if you’re a fan of him, im sorry 😔

Wizarding Wars

The Oligarchy Houses primary responsibility is to protect Avalon and Magical Britain from forces attempting to exert control, fear, and violence. Dark Lord Grindelwald was defeated in by High Lady | Marchioness - Dowager Archduchess Ondine & High Lady Attina Hartridge - 2nd Branch, widow - Marchioness of the Yearning Bay ended Grindelwald when he attempted to take over Avalon and Wizarding Britain, instead of Dumbledore. She has also received an Order of Morgana, 1st Class, which includes two extra votes on the Wizengamot.

WWI & Holocaust in the Mundane World did not happen.

Most of the Goblin Wars also did not happen thanks to the active Oligarchy House. Currently, the Elegant and Most Olde House of Hartridge is considered the Regent House until Mother Magic Appoints a High King & Queen. The Goblins have a better alliance with Avalon, as do other MCs, and it is beneficial & respectful for all parties.

Voldemort Doesn’t Exist

House Hartride Sponsored Tom Riddle prior to his 1st year at Hogwarts, and ended up Blood Adopting him into the family by his 3rd year. Now, he is High Lord | Marquis of the Blood Reefs, Augustus Hartridge, well-traveled and quite protective over the family.

He married Lacerta Black (Lucretia Black’s younger sister, and Walburga’s “replacement” in the Black Family), and currently, they have three children.

Severus Snape Doesn’t Exist Either

Similar to above, Severus had been Blood Adopted into the Hartridge family when abuse had been discovered in his household. He’s now Sebastian Hartridge, and flourishing.

Political Changes

Political parties within Avalon/Wizengamot: Traditionalists (majority Most Ancient Houses), Neutralists (The Oligarchies, some Most Ancient & Ancient Houses, Some New Blood/Unattributed Houses), Progressives (Mostly New Bloods, Unattributed Houses, House Weasley, and some Attributed Houses), Liberatives (exclusive to Muggle-borns)

NOTE - POLITICAL PARTY DOES NOT EQUATE TO HOGWARTS HOUSE(S) & THEIR ATTRIBUTES / NOR IF THEY HAVE A LIGHT, DARK, OR GREY MAGICAL CORE.

The Royal House of Pendragon has 10 Votes (+ Final Decision Making), the Oligarchy Houses have 7 Votes (& Final Decision Making if the Royal House is inactive), Most Ancient Houses have 5 Votes per House (minimum — can achieve more), Ancient Houses have 3 Votes, Attributed Houses have 2 Votes, and Unattributed Houses have 1.

Traditionalists

Those in this political group strive to protect Avalon and Magical Britain from Muggle influences and danger, wish to prioritize and protect the Ancient & Olde Ways of Pureblood Society and current systems, and mostly favor the Dark Arts (not Black Magic, of course) and Rites.

Royal House of Pendragon & Le Fay

Most Ancient Houses: Black, Malfoy, Avery, Yaxley, Potter*, Bulstrode, Carrow, Longbottom, Parkinson, Gaunt, Lestrange, Flint, Burke**, Rosier**, Macmillan

Ancient Houses: Lovegood*, Smith*, Serpen*, Adams, Taggert, Warrington, Urquhart

Attributed Houses: Prince, Fawcett, Cooke*, Nettle*, Lovett, Diggory, Alloway, Pucey

Houses: Brown, Silverling, Holland, Flower, Angelo, Farbrookes, Warren

Neutralists

Those in this political group tend to be more neutral/solidly in the middle of both extremes and attempt to see both perspectives before making a decision, so they do not skewer any results due to any biases. However, they are not as fond of the Liberatives Party as they reject Mother Magic, and also wish to protect and preserve the Ancient & Olde Ways of Magic.

Oligarchy Houses: All

Most Ancient Houses: Abbott, Fawley, Crouch, Greengrass, Ollivander, Rowle, Selwyn, Shacklebolt, Zabini, Prewett, Nott, Weasley

Ancient Houses: Bones, Odgen, Patil, Oakwood, Sprout, Trewlaney, Flitwick

Attributed Houses: Vane, Montague, Riverty, Boot, Moon

Houses: Asp*, Malkin, Starling, Belby, Lupin, Clearwater, Finnegan, Thomas, McGonagall

Progressives

Those in this group have accepted Mother Magic’s Oaths, but seek to adapt Avalon’s laws to become more Muggle/Muggle-born friendly, as well as enforce strict restrictions on the types of Magic based on what they perceive as “good.” Mostly favor the Light Arts, and have a bias against “the Dark Arts” and “Dark Creatures.”

Most Ancient Houses: Slughorn, Travers (since 1920s) , Shafiq (since 1960s)

Ancient Houses: Farring, Corner, Beaumont, Macdougal

Attributed Houses: Griffis*, Rose, Perks, Valentina,

Houses: Dumbledore, Perkins, Fortescue, Umbridge, Wood, Barrows, Lockhart, Pettigrew

Liberatives

Muggle-borns and some Pureblood families who have refused Sponsorship and Reject Mother Magic’s Oaths, and seek to change Avalon’s laws and structures to be less aristocratic-based. As they have no votes within the Wizengamot or ICW, they depend on the Progressives.

NOTE: Bloodlines speculated and/or confirmed to be descendants of one of the four inactive Oligarchy Houses.

Serpen (S), Smith (H), Nettle (R), Lovegood (R), Asp (S), Griffis (G), Potter (P), Oakwood (R), Cooke (H)

**The Affable and Most Ancient House of Weasley, due to their Paterfamilias’ choices/betrayals in the past, have had most of their votes confiscated as a consequence. They have 2 votes instead of the original 5. Same goes for House of Rosier, Burke, and Perks. They must undergo a Decade of Repentance to end the Blood Feud & regain the rights, monies, and reputations of a Most Ancient or Ancient House. House Burke & Perks are currently undergoing Year 7 of their Decade of Repentance. House Weasley completed their Decade of Repentance in 1920s, and have become a Vassal House of House Malfoy.

Other Changes

Regarding the Muggle World, they will never find out about the Magical World(s). Mother Magic has placed an irremovable, irreversible silencing spell on the tongues of Squibs, Muggle parents of Muggleborns & New Bloods, and any Muggleborns/Wizen who decide to abandon the Wizarding World. The Magical governments also keep up to date with technology advancements, like weaponry and so on, and have an entire subdepartment in the DOM and teams to invent spells and so on to combat it

Mother Magic sees it as an abandonment of Her and Her Gifts should a Muggle-born or other Wix decide to live permanently in the muggle world. There may be other consequences of such a decision.

Dumbledore — Due to his favoritism and biases, the Wards of Hogwarts denied him the privilege of being Headmaster. This is well-known but isn’t gossiped about in the open public. The scandal alone almost made the Board have him retire, if not for his proficiency and skill and history of NEWT students almost always getting EEs and Os. The current Headmaster, after Dippet retired, is Headmistress Annette Cooke of the Unwavering House of Cooke (once, a Hufflepuff).

Another consequence of such is that he has been removed as Head Deputy of Hogwarts. He is still the Head of Gryffindor, but he’s on “thin ice.”

Some thoughts on the pureblood society, old money and their actual wealth

We know that being pureblood in the Wizarding world is equivalent to high status. This isn't in any form a new observation.

But the thing is, that this status is in no way indicative of actual wealth. The Gaunts had no funds, at all, their most priced possessions were the wand marvolo uses and the peverell ring. The weasleys are far enough away from that, that all of their children had access to education and to never starve.

The malfoys are one of two Wizarding family who we see to be visibly wealthy: with their peacock breeding, high quality broomsticks for an entire quidditch team and a giant manor in the country side. The other family are the Lestranges - we see the inside of their vault in DH. And two of the Black cousins married into those obviously wealthy families. At least Bellatrix' marriage seems like one of convenience more than anything else. Narcissa loves at least her son, on her relationship with Lucius we can only guess.

Now. The Black family are different. Grimmauld Place 12 shows generational wealth - but it's their only residence and it's a townhouse (which isn't to say these aren't expensive but it's not a manor either). It's infested and breaking apart. Their generational wealth shows in their family crest, motto and tapestry. Meanwhile Sirius says that his parents were 'convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal', which I find notable bc of the 'convinced' and 'practically'. For one it shows Sirius' disillusionment with the notion, the lack of literal royalty in the Wizarding world and possibly also that his parents were clamoring to their heritage more than anything else. Which sounds very much to the Gaunts view on the matter.

Now to their actual wealth. We obviously don't have any numbers, but two adjectives for two different inheritances.

Sirius says his uncle alphard left him a decent amount of gold; later Harry inherites from sirius a reasonable amount of gold in vault 711 (as well as the house and kreacher, just to underline that gp12 was actually the only house that the family owned), and while neither of these words have actual numbers fixed to them, I'd say that's still pretty far from the amount of wealth we see in the lestranges vault.

Apropos vaults: Sirius owns vault 711, which is two vaults up from vault 713 - the one containing the philosopher's stone. That vault is somewhat further down in the ground, and more highly protected, by magic rather than a key like Harry's, but in description it's very similar both Harry's and the weasleys vault.

Meanwhile the lestranges vault is not only gigantic, it's also far deeper underground, close to the dragons and behind the magical waterfall that stops any magic from working.

looking for an old AU Hinny fic

Looking for an old story from fanfiction.com.

It opens with a young Ginny Weasley hiding in a tree from her brothers teasing her. 11 year Prince Harry comes up and scares them off and she falls for him.

Then the castle is attacked and the king and queen and presumably the prince are killed.

Cut to 10 years later. Harry is raised in secret by Sirius in the ruins of the castle. There's also a subplot where I think Harry can turn into a dragon. The village is regularly attacked by a dragon as revenge for the murder of the royal family. A demand is made for a virgin sacrifice and Ginny's family gives her to the beast. But its Sirius making the demand because he had noticed that Ginny was a fiery young woman he thought she would be entertaining for his godson.

Harry does not want to keep her prisoner, but she has gotten ill from a storm and he nurses her back to health. When he first carries her to a bed he has to remove the soaked clothes but doesn't look because he is chivalrous. When she is refusing to eat he kisses her to shock her enough that she opens her mouth and he can sneak a spoonful of soup in. It's a slow burn love story about the two. It was unfinished so I'm hoping the author finished it but I have searched fanfiction.com and can't find it so I'm sure it was deleted

Weasley Siblings As Firebender Types

In honor of returning to a convention again, after so many health issues stopped me, let's get self-indulgent!

For the sake lore wise, lets say this is in a modern setting

William 'Bill'

Obviously, mans will have that burned up face situation. Given, but in a setting wise he would be up the ladder and given the designated duty to study the history of the past. One of the few people who are trying to recover the airbending culture, and in charge of helping with items tampered with by bad karama/spirites. Meaning he is very close to the spiritual side, and more than likely using his bending as a means to mend things. Such as heating broken metal. An almost pacifist life style, which could have been influnced by how much hes learned through trying to help recover ancient history. Almost, A Pacifistic lifestyle. Recover what was lost. It would even be seen in his bending style, as he would be more intuned with air and water. Connected to the spirits, and it’ll show. You mess with him, well. Be careful next full moon buddy. Wouldn’t be a surprise if he pulled a Blue Spirit to steal back stolen artifacts

Charlie

He is the reason why the dragons have not gone extinct . He was specially chosen by the very dragons to help protect them. Running a special santuary on a island to keep them away, as to repair their nature. By this manner, he would have rainbow sparks in his flames. A sign that he is intuned with the dragons. Rasied by them, eats with them, he is much dragon as he is a bender. Having any visitors is esentially impossible, unless absolutly needed. Well, the weasley family would be allowed. Kin to their kin after all. He also would be extremely warm to the touch. Like I mean you throw a snow ball at him, it’s gonna start steaming. Mans a dragon. That would also mean he’s connected rather close to the spirit world. Not like Bill, but to say they haven’t been able to communicate through such a way is a lie. Just because he’s built like a jock doesn’t mean he’s dumber than a brick. Boy will he use that underestimation to his advantage in battle

Percy

Sorry guys, we know its true. He would climb the ranks, and get a bit intense. He will take pride in his nation, and need to have his family bring him back to earth alot. He would even be able to learn how to produce blue flames, in order to show his strength and determination to show the pride of his nation. Keep a close eye on him. He may be soon joining the Ozai Cult! A high ranking man he would be. Not in the military setting, but certainly working close to whatever lord is at attention at the time. Perhaps in charge of strategies for war, or works as a royal advisor. He’s important, but his own ego will cause some rifts. His connection to the spirit world is very weak, and that will be his down fall

Fred and George

They would have mastered combustion, and lighting bending. What do they do with such extreme skills? Cause mischief. They would more so run a fire work shop, and show you the beauty that fire can offer. Obviously they gotta be a dynamic of red and blue as well. Duh. They are always inventing, and would certainly be friends with everyone they can. Probs have Ty Lee genes in there somewhere even, and that’s how they are so charismatic. They can literally see your vibe, and know how to match it. As stereotypical as it is, they would have an extremely strong connection to the spirit world. As being identical twins. Which was perhaps how they were able to tap into such deep potential so young. They certainly are people you go to for advice. Be lucky they have that Ty Lee energy and are vibing. instead of being the next Azula

Ron

100% knows how to Lava bend. ((And of course the cliché that he would be teaching the next Avatar Fire bending/Helping master the element because duh)) But genuinely, he has a very earth bender personality. It would translate in his bending style, and a beautiful way to show he’s not like his siblings. He is just as much special, and different. He can handle his own, and out right manipulate a middle ground element. Earth benders better look out, he’s going to show you why you don’t mess with Weasleys. As for his spiritual connection, it’s faulty. Until he bonds with Hermione, and gets grounded again. He’s no where close like his older siblings, but his will to learn is what gives the realm a special place in their hearts for him. He’s trying, and that’s all that matters. In the end

Ginny

10000% Takes it to the levels of sportsmanship. Along with Jet Projection, and can manipulate her fire to help her fly. That sure startles her opponents. Though, but proxy it means she isn’t as spiritually connected as she should be. Hey, that’s what Luna is for anyway. She knows how to kick ass, even with out her fire bending. She wanted to know how to defend herself after all. Wouldn’t be a surprise if she had a Kyoshi Fan in her back pocket. She loves to learn any way to fight, and certainly learned different elements fighting styles. Able to keep her opponents on their toes, and understand how they move and work. She is proud of her power, but her connection to the spirits needs work. But, that’s where family comes in. Luna, and her brothers, will always have her back. And she will have theirs. You can count on it, that’s for sure

Wenclair Fic Idea No. 2

Hufflepuff Enid and Slytherin Wednesday

--

Houses have classes together all the time. They inevitably become close when they’re partnered up during a potions class. No one had wanted to partnered up with Wednesday during the first day of class in their first year, but Enid being the Hufflepuff that she was, volunteered.

Enid was a bit of an outcast herself as some people were still afraid of werewolves since the Great War. That didn’t stop her from being liked and making friends, though. Sure, she transformed every full moon, but the professors made sure all the werewolves were safely tucked away during those full moons. Where no one would harm them and where they wouldn’t be able to harm anyone.

Fast forward to Fifth year, a niche little friend group has formed. Bianca and Yoko are in Ravenclaw. Divina and Ajax were Gryffindor. Enid, Kent and Eugene were in Hufflepuff and Wednesday was in Slytherin.

They were an odd bunch, but they worked. Well, they’d fall apart without Enid keeping them all together, but so far so good.

Wednesday and Enid have gotten fairly close by now, the closest, really.

On the first day of Advanced potions, as they were seated together, brewing Amortentia.

They were both so confused why their potions didn’t smell any different. It was the same smell Enid always found comfortable, Ink and cedar wood. Vanilla and petrichor for Wednesday.

They’d asked Ms. Thornhill what they did wrong, but was assured that their potions were 100% perfect as it smelled just like her own brew.

Odd? No, they were just oblivious idiots who couldn’t figure out they were smelling each other’s scents because that what Amortentia does.

It gives off the smell of someone you love. Which would be pretty hard to distinguish if you’re already so used to it.

Surely, they knew that? They were chosen for the Advanced Potions class, after all.

Not a chance. Their friends could only smile knowingly at their confusion.

--

Additionally, dementors were loose on the school grounds because let’s say Azkaban had too many now. 

Their little friend group was hanging out and studying by the Whomping Willow when the sky turned gray and the temperature dropped.

The teachers weren’t able to get them inside in time and the older students were helping fend off the dementors. Wednesday and Bianca were bravely deflecting them but Protego and Expelliarmus could only do so much.

They were the oldest there and just Wednesday was thrown back and a dementor was hovering over her, ready to suck out what little color she had let into her life, a blinding glow emerged from Enid’s wand, shielding her and pushing the dementor away.

A patronus in the form of a raven was pushing all the dementors away. When she realized she’d bought them some time, she ran to Wednesday and helped her hurry back into the dorms.

Enid’s patronus was a raven. The Addams family was known for having doves and ravens and Wednesday was raven.

Fast forward to a few months later, Wednesday’s patronus sweeps the whole quad as it shields Enid from a flock of dementors. 

Wednesday’s patronus was a wolf. It looked familiar. Almost like a certain werewolf from Hufflepuff?

--

Additionally:

All Addams are Slytherins. They’re royal blood and stuff like the Malfoys but, you know, not evil death eaters. Nicer.

Sinclairs are like the Weasleys. House like the Burrow but bigger and more money.

Werewolf stigma is a lot better since the Great War but it’s still kinda there.

What house do you think Weems would be in? She’s headmistress.

Wednesday and Enid aren’t roomies because different houses have different areas, but they always study together in the library, outside, anywhere really.

Would Wednesday vs Enid as seekers in Quidditch be too much? (Morticia was a chaser during their time at Hogwarts).

Hmm, what else? 

Wednesday learns to be an Animagus! A black cat that runs with Enid on full moons but she doesn’t know yet that it’s Wednesday?

Thing is with them at school, of course, just forgot to write him in. Pugsley, too, eventually.

Wednesday has the invisibility cloak. Her owl is white like Hedwig and called Nero.

Enid’s owl is gray and called Joey.

Also, no one would dare show any kind of disrespect towards Enid lest they want Wednesday Addams to hex them into tomorrow.

--

Yes, hi. I’m sure this is messy but it’s been in my head for days now. Huge HP nerd here. I’ll probably edit this later on. Didn’t mean to make it look like an actual fic.

Draco finds out

He knew something was wrong the minute he saw Harry, something was off about him. Weasley and Granger had no clue as they were bickering over something. He cast a slight charm and had Harry's head turn slightly. He nodded to the staircase and Harry got up and went there. Once he reached there he grabbed his hand and he took him to the Gryffindor common room.

"Draco, I'm not- I can't," Draco stopped him. 

"I didn't bring you here to snog you Harry as much as I want to," He closed the door to theroom and cast a silencing charm. "Is this where you lot sleep, like a bunch of-” Harry shot him a look. “Well mannered people, er- remove your shirt let me see," 

"How did you-"

"I know the signs," Draco wanted to say that he had been in this position before. Except he hid it so well no one knew to ask, plus there were no visible marks. But Harry already knew

“Draco,” Harry said softly. 

“Harry, shirt.” Harry sighed and took off his robes. Then his shirt. Draco didn’t even need to ask him to turn; he could see the beginnings on his shoulders and a couple marks on his arms. They were still angry red. “Harry…who did this to you,” 

Harry chuckled, taking a seat on the bed. “The muggles I live with,”

“But they’re your mother’s- her sister, her brother in law, ho-”

“Draco, they hated my mother, they loathed my father, I can safely say compared to Snape, loved my dad and him were lovers,” Harry said as he  fiddled with his fingers.

”They only took me in out of obligation, they never really loved me, because my mother was a witch and my father a wizard. In Fact they make sure to tell me everyday, in every language.” His fingers shook as he spoke.

“They never used to hit me, just scream, yell, neglect me, either only make me eat breakfast cause i made it and then not eat again for the rest of the day or make me do work around the house, no actually it was both, be my cousin’s punching bag, his outlet.’

“When did they start hitting you,” Draco asks, although he was still trying to wrap his head on what Harry had just said. 

“When they found out I couldn’t use magic outside of Hogwarts, they got so angry I didn’t tell them that it set off the chain of events,” Harry hestrued to his back, “Which led to this, my uncle snapped.”

“Harry…” Draco stood behind him as he started casting healing charms all round. “Why don’t you tell someone you know the Minister of Freaking Magic for Merlin’s sake, he’ll hex them himself if you asked.”

“Dumbledore said I had to stay with them because of the magic that was keeping me safe,” Draco whipped his wand and a tiny bottle came flying out of his trunk. 

“Harry, I say this without my usual voice of sarcasm, screw Dumbledore, screw your relatives,” Harry hissed as Draco’s wand grazed a rather recent wound. “At least now I know who to add to my hitlist.”

“I’m sorry,” Harryneeded to apologise, he had to apologise.

“Harry don’t apologise you did nothing wrong, it’s your family that needs to apologise and then be thrown in Azkaban” Harry chuckled but he knew Draco was being serious. 

 “Then for behaving the way I did towards you, you’re friends.”

“Draco,”

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry too,”

Draco paused, wrapping Harry’s back. “What ever on earth are you possibly sorry for?”

“For not taking your hand that day,” that day.

~When his father and mother had taken him to go get fitted for new robes. His father had left him  to go buy books and his mother dropped him off in the shop to get new robes. His mother started to look at wands in a nearby shop. He noticed a giant in the seat outside, he wanted to make a snide comment about how nothing in this shop might fit him when he heard chatter behind him.

“Hogwarts dear, got the lot here- another young man being fitted up just now, in fact.'' Then he suddenly met the eye of a green eyed black haired boy, his eyes were very pretty. For some reason his mouth flew open and he knew the moment he’d opened his mouth to talk about the gameskeeper he’d screwed up royally.

“Sorry about insulting Hagrid, I was a little stuck up back then,” Harry snorted. 

“You still are but I like this stuck up, he’s a fancy kisser,” Draco rolled his eyes and shocked Harry with his wand. 

“I’m sincerely apologising, Harry,” Harry reached behind him and pulled Draco’s hand in front of him. 

“I’m sorry for not taking your apology seriously, thank you Draco,” He brought Draco’s hand to his lips. “Thank you,”

“I’m still gonna buy you a flat though,” Confusion painted Harry's face.

“Erm? What?” 

“If you think you are leaving this school with the notion you’re going back, you are mistaken.” Harry just smiled.

“Wizarding laws-”

“Don’t matter,”

“Draco, was it, was it an unforgivable curse?” Harry noticed Draco's hands had stiffened in his. He got up and hugged him. 

“I’m sorry,”

“It wasn’t your fault.,”

“I hate your father,”

“That makes both of us,” Draco chuckled and held  him back. “This term is rather short, once we board the train and I’m hoping I get you all to myself,” Draco sounded like he was joking but Harry knew better.

“You’re dad hates me Draco, He was a Death Eater, Plus he’s gonna notice you buying a house” 

“Harry, I can buy a random house somewhere, without the consent of my parents, I’m a bloody Malfoy, he with his thinking is gonna suspect that I’m pissed about something, or worse I was bitten by a werewolf” Harry chuckled Draco making him roll his eyes.

“Just say you wanna move in with me Harry, please, I wanna live with my boyfriend” Harry blushed at boyfriend. 

“Okay,”

“I swear I’ll even get Dobby to- what?” Draco doubled over. “I thought i’d have to do a whole Sonnet,”

“A what?”

“Ironic how I know more about Muggle literature than you,” Draco said, rolling his eyes. Harry sensing a lecture due to hanging out with Hermione for so long, leaned in and kiss him.

“Thank you,”

“For you, anytime,”

So I'm looking over the scene where the trio are searching Regulus's bedroom. Here are some things I've noticed.

The door is locked

It opens easily when Hermione uses Alohamora, so it wasn't locked in a way that would actually prevent wizards from getting in. And, in fact, someone has been there: Snape, at the same time he searched other parts of the house and took the second page of Lily's letter to Sirius. He made more of an effort to hide his search of Regulus's room, though, leaving behind damaged books and a broken inkwell in the desk drawers, but nothing that would make it obvious at a glance that someone was there. Very different from Harry and Ron's room, where "the wardrobe doors stood open and the bedclothes had been ripped back," and Sirius's, which had pages from books "shaken roughly enough to part company with their covers" all over the floor.

Maybe the door was already locked, and Snape locked it again behind him to keep it from being obvious he had searched the room. That would fit with hiding away the damaged items in a desk drawer. I'm not quite sure why Snape would feel the need to conceal that he had been in Regulus's room, though, when he didn't do so in the rest of the house.

As for why it was locked to begin with, my guess is Sirius. While the rest of the house was pretty ruthlessly cleaned out, Regulus's bedroom remained undisturbed. A locked door wouldn't keep members of the Order out if they really wanted to get in, but it would certainly be a sign that the guy who actually owns the house says that room is off limits. (Because nothing says "I hate you" like refusing to throw away someone's stuff more than a decade after their death, am I right?)

Scratch marks

I also noticed something else about the door:

There were deep scratch marks in the paintwork below a small sign that he had not noticed in the dark.

Who left the marks?

Not Sirius in dog form; if he wanted in, he could've just used Alohomora as a human.

Possibly Crookshanks, but if so, it's such an unimportant detail that why include it at all?

My best guess is Kreacher. He clearly adored Regulus, and he spent decades trying to destroy the locket for him; it would make sense if at some point he tried to enter Regulus's bedroom. But would he have been able to? House-elves are bound to obey their masters' orders; because of the note on the door, Kreacher might very well have been unable to get in without Regulus there to give him permission.

Speaking of the note on the door ...

Comparison to Percy

It was a pompous little sign, neatly lettered by hand, the sort of thing that Percy Weasley might have stuck on his bedroom door

Aside from Sirius's description in Order of the Phoenix, this is the first glimpse into who Regulus might have been as a person. The comparison to Percy is interesting because, in a lot of ways, their narratives and family dynamics are polar opposites. In terms of personality, though, Percy is ambitious, hard-working, a bit arrogant, and takes himself very seriously. It's easy to imagine Regulus being similar. This is probably where the very popular idea of Regulus being a prefect and a top student comes from.

As a side note, in Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore characterizes the Death Eaters as:

a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating towards a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty

I imagine Regulus to be one of the ambitious ones, wanting to make his mark on the world, to be powerful and important in a way beyond what the status quo would allow ("practically royal," remember?), and to prove himself as a "good" pure-blood heir in the wake of Sirius and Andromeda's scandals. The comparison to Percy is not the only reason I think that, but it's certainly a strong point in favor of it.

Sibling dynamics

I feel like this is very interesting:

Regulus's bedroom was slightly smaller than Sirius's, though it had the same sense of former grandeur.

Even though we're told (by Sirius) that Regulus was the golden child of the family, Sirius still had the larger bedroom. Perhaps that dynamic wasn't as fixed, or wasn't even there at all, until they went to Hogwarts. As children, Sirius's bold and rebellious nature might have been tolerated, even seen as a positive sign, while Regulus was treated as more of an afterthought. Later on, of course, it became clear that Sirius was going a completely different route than what the family would approve of. At that point, they would almost certainly have been pitted against each other, and Regulus was probably viewed more and more as the "good" son. But the bedrooms give a hint that that might not always have been the case.

Speaking of which, let's talk about what the bedroom looks like.

The Slytherin colors of emerald and silver were everywhere, draping the bed, the walls, and the windows. The Black family crest was painstakingly painted over the bed, along with its motto, TOUJOURS PUR.

I don't know about you, but to me, this feels like a reaction to Sirius more than anything else. It's not about favorite colors or taste in decor. Maybe about House and family pride. But mostly, it comes across as a very strong statement that he's nothing at all like his brother and doesn't want to be associated with his rebellion.

It also feels as if so much of his identity is tied up in his Hogwarts House and his family name that he doesn't really know who he is as a person, without falling back on those two things.

The Death Eater collage

Underneath the family crest, they find this:

a collection of yellow newspaper cuttings, all stuck together to make a ragged collage

As Hermione begins reading them, she quickly realizes they're all about Voldemort, over a period of several years. This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that Regulus signed up for the Death Eaters voluntarily. The older generations of his family might have quietly supported Voldemort, but they weren't Death Eaters. None of his close relatives were except Bellatrix. And yet here he is, tracking Voldemort's movements for several years before joining. That suggests not only that he was interested, but that he did his research before committing.

(Yes, I know there are alternate interpretations. But there is absolutely nothing in canon to suggest that he was secretly plotting against them all along or only pretending to support them out of self-preservation. Canon suggests - even outright says - that he started off as a loyal Death Eater but changed his mind later on.)

Humanizing details

Let's talk about that photo of the Slytherin Quidditch team. It's the first of several parallels between Regulus and Harry, who immediately notices that they played the same position. But I think the fact that the players are smiling and waving is even more noteworthy, because almost nowhere else in the entire series are school-age Slytherins shown just being kids and having fun. It feels jarring, like you would expect the photo of the Slytherin team to have them sneering or glowering at the camera. The photo is one of the most ordinary and harmless things about the room, and seeing it makes Regulus seem like more than just another Death Eater, even before it's revealed exactly how he died.

This scene is one of the few places where there's any insight into who Regulus was as a person, and he's portrayed in a very humanizing way. The comparisons are only mildly critical (there are much worse people to be compared with than Percy Weasley and much worse descriptions than "less handsome" than Sirius); the most disturbing detail is softened by following it up immediately with one of the nicest ones; and bits of personality shine through even despite the emphasis on conformity. This is very different from how villains and morally gray characters are usually portrayed in the HP books. The narrative very much wants him to be sympathetic, and it shows.

AU Harry Potter World:

Like the Muggle aristocracy, the wizarding aristocracy is divided into titles, but according to the seniority and degree of importance of a family for magic, the most important titles belong to the Royal Family, the Supremes and the Saints. House Peverell (The Royal and oldest house of the Peverells) called Royal Highness, are the oldest and most prestigious members of wizarding society. Followed by the Supreme Oligarchy (known as the Lord's Supreme - purest of the pure - the noblest and oldest houses): 15 main families known to have shaped the magic of Magical Britain, possessing the knowledge of the ancient magic of the Druids. Then there are the Sacred 27, known as Sacred Lords – the pure ones – the noble and ancient houses, which are the smaller families that supported the Royal Family and the Sacreds in the creation of Avalon and the split between the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

The noble and ancient houses of Light:
