HPMA Appreciation Week 2023 → Day 2: Favorite OCs That Aren’t Mine

𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐲

→ Nate’s girl. She’s such a darling and my favorite HPMA Slytherin. She’s such a good complement for Nate. I love the complications in her story and the coincidental similarities between her life and Nate’s. She’s just a darling and has really helped to make Nate’s (and by extension, Finn’s) story come into a clearer focus, especially with some of the upcoming changes. She may not have been there from the start, but I love her and she’s such a good fit for Nate. @gaygryffindorgal

𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧

→ Jack’s girl. Probably Thea’s best friend. Benedict’s sister in every way but blood. Sage is one of a kind, hell bent on schedules, which makes her a brilliant complement for fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants Jack. Sage is the first in a series of Ravenclaw HPMA girls that I adore and the Whittens just wouldn’t be the same without her. @kc-and-co

𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤

→ Benedict’s girl. Poppy is the second in the series of Ravenclaw girls that I adore. She’s the one who first truly gets beyond all of Ben’s walls and she’s a sweetheart. I love her, she’s just amazing and I can’t wait to see more of her! @cursebreakerfarrier (I also want to give a shout-out to Jasper because he’s one of the best MA professors and Camila’s favorite guy!)

𝐍𝐨𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡

→ Thea’s girl. Noa is great. I love all of her story and her relationship with Thea. I love that she becomes a quidditch player and all of her little details, as they’re all so interesting. I love her friendship with Poppy and Sage and am very amused by the way that all three Ravenclaw girls end up with a Whitten. She may be the newest to this little crew, but she’s one of my favorite Ravenclaw girls.. @thatravenpuffwitch (I’ll also offer a small shout-out to Rylie and Pat, who were part of why I ended making Declan O’Donnell-Lee a full-fledged OC.)

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤

→ Declan’s girl. She’s such a darling and I love her backstory, it’s quite unique. I love her relationship with Declan and the ways in which their futures influence one another. She’s such a fun character and I love her. She may be the newest to my crew of HPMA love interests, but Callie is so great. @mjs-oc-corner

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚-𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐞

→ It felt appropriate to include a Hufflepuff (and a boy) as I haven’t focused much on that with this. So, after thinking on it and even with him being fairly new, Hermes still stands out as quite the interesting character. He also seems to be a great combination of his parents. @slytherindisaster

𝐆𝐰𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞

→ Gwen is such an interesting character, with all of her different interests. I like how all of her hobbies are all quite similar, yet different. She’s a very interesting character, with an interesting backstory and family. Plus Hufflepuffs are always some of the best characters. @magicallymalted

𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞

→ He was probably my first introduction to your characters and he’s quite an interesting one. I love his name (unsurprisingly, as I also have a kiddo named Declan who is also a Slytherin). I also love his faceclaim, which I’m also using but with a set of identical twin HPHL fankids. He’s got one of the most unique storylines amongst HPMA and he’s quite unique in general. I’m also not quite sure why, but he gives me similar vibes to my Lynch boys, like his vibe is a combination of Cillian’s and Tadhg’s, which is very interesting. @potionboy3

Twenty-Two

Happy Birthday to my favourite wild-child of them all! You're the most frustrating, headstrong and yet amazing of my children in how you refuse to let me write the story I want for you - you have your own story to tell.

Don't ever change, Reva, but for God's sake... just let me know what you want every now and again, yeah?

The idea for this fic as well as the amazing edit are by @whatwouldvalerydo, who kindly let me write her crack thought into existence 💛

Warning: mentions and consumption of alcohol, implied drug abuse (weed)

Even for late March it was an unusually cold night in Edinburgh and Reva shivered as she drew her shoulders up against the cold drizzle. She buried her hands deeper in the pockets of her coat and craned her neck trying to see the end of the queue. But from what she could tell, they were as far away from the entrance to the club than they had been ten minutes ago.

“By that rate we’re going to still be here by sunrise,” she muttered, bouncing up and down the balls of her feet to keep warm. “What’s taking them so long?”

“No idea, but they won’t hurry up for you complaining into my ear,” said Reva’s brother Dylan. He had his arm around his girlfriend Dana, who Reva shared a sympathetic look with. Just like herself, Dana was only wearing a dress and tights, and seemed to be just as cold as the rest of them.

“And besides, it was you who insisted on coming here,” Dylan went on, not noticing or not caring about his sister and his girlfriend rolling their eyes. “We could have just stayed at Dante’s bar, have some more drinks there and be nice and warm all around.”

“Maybe, but you only turn twenty-two once,” Reva said. “Stop being a bore.”

“You turned twenty-two three days ago.”

“And how am I supposed to celebrate with all my friends during the week, Mr Look-at-me-I-know-it-all?”

Dylan shared a look with his friend Dante, who was the owner of the bar where they had all met for a warm up, but Dante only shrugged. He knew better than to get involved with Dylan’s and Reva’s bickering.

“What did you expect?” Rory McTavish chimed in from behind Reva. He clearly had no problem with getting involved at all. “This is one of the most popular spots in Edinburgh. Obviously there was going to be a queue.”

“Didn’t stop the others from going in without us,” Reva muttered.

“Maybe we could talk to the bouncers,” Rory said and craned his head like Reva had done.

The girl next to him made a sceptical noise. “I doubt the Muggle bouncers will give us preferred access only because you and Reva happen to have a name in Quidditch. But do go ahead and try.”

Rory laughed softly and gave Rylie a kiss on the cheek. “No, but I can’t have you ladies freezing out here.”

“They’re not the only ones being cold,” Dylan pointed out.

“Yeah, I’m quite cold myself. Not that you would know, Dylan. You’re too furry to freeze.”

Dylan’s brows drew into a scowl but before he had a chance to answer, both boys received an elbow to their sides from their girlfriends and fell quiet. Reva saw Dana biting her lower lip in an attempt not to laugh, however.

A smirk on her own lips, she turned her attention to the non-progression of the queue again. As the banter with her friends passed, the familiar, heavy feeling which had been bothering her for the past couple of days returned to her chest.

Reva had felt on edge for a while now, but lately, the feeling of running against walls in her attempt to make a name for herself among the Montrose Magpies - a name that wasn’t immediately connected to her parents’ past accomplishments - had steadily increased. All she had wanted from tonight was a carefree evening with her friends, and not needing to stand in the cold night air, shivering in her short dress and wondering if this was where she really was supposed to be.

Next to her, her best friend Zadie, who had come over from New York especially for the occasion, nudged Reva into the side.

“Are you alright?” she asked quietly.

Reva sighed and tore her eyes away from the flashing sign above the entrance. “Yes,” she said, “I just want to get inside and meet everyone, that’s all.”

She could tell from the look on Zadie’s face that she knew Reva was lying, but thankfully she chose not to comment on it. Instead, she gave Reva’s arm a squeeze and left her alone. Reva was grateful for it; like so often these days, she realised how much she had missed Zadie being by her side.

It took them another fifteen minutes, but eventually, Reva and her friends had found their way inside the club. As soon as they walked down the stairs leading to the dance floor, Reva’s contemplative mood subsided. The room was heaving with people, colourful lights were flashing in time with the beat and Reva could feel the reverberations of the base thrumming through her body. She took a deep breath and a confident smile formed on her face; this was what she had been looking for.

They quickly found the rest of their friends seated on comfortable looking leather sofas around a low table next to the bar, and Reva’s smile widened with every one of them she greeted. Before long she found herself chatting and laughing with each and every one of them, catching up with those she hadn’t seen in a while and trading gossip with those she saw regularly. Reva felt more at ease than she had done in weeks and she leaned back into her seat with a content smile.

“It’s good to see you smiling again,” her friend Sage Carridan said and sat down next to her. “It’s been a while, I can imagine.”

“Meaning?” Reva said and raised her eyebrows.

“I read the latest articles in The Daily Prophet on the Magpies’ winning streak,” Sage explained.

“I’m not surprised you have.” A defeated expression crossed Reva’s face. The general tone of the articles was positive, but she had been on a few unsuccessful dates with the guy who’d written them, and from how he talked about her, Reva could tell he wasn’t as over her as she was over him. There wasn’t a single day where she didn’t find herself being compared to her mother’s scoring record or her father’s technique and frankly, she was sick of it.

Sage seemed to sense Reva’s shift in mood because she made a sympathetic face and laid a hand on her shoulder. “I want you to know that this amateur has no idea about Quidditch. What he’s writing is far-fetched, to say the least. You’re a fantastic player in your own right, and I’ve never seen a statistic more inaccurate than the ones he’s making up.”

“My godfather said the same,” Reva muttered. She should feel glad about Sage’s encouragement, but all she felt was tired.

Sage seemed to want to add something but was interrupted when Nova Mae slumped into the seat on Reva’s other side.

“Why that face?” she asked cheerfully, looking between Reva and Sage. “Is Sage boring you with rules and numbers again?”

Sage rolled her eyes. “They’re not boring, Nova.”

“Oh yes, they are.”

Reva had to bite her lip to keep from chuckling. Nova’s and Sage’s friendly banter was infamous and their bickering was already brightening her mood considerably.

“I won’t allow you to be sad today. I know something to cheer you up,” Nova declared. From out of nowhere she produced a clear plastic bag containing what looked like brownies.

A sly grin appeared on Reva’s face but when she reached for the bag, it was snatched away by a stern looking Sage.

“You’re not going to be giving Reva edibles while I’m watching,” she hissed at Nova.

Nova shrugged and shoved a piece of brownie into her mouth. “You’re free to go any time.”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“Shame.”

“That’s irresponsible, Nova!”

“They’re brownies. Nothing else, I swear.”

“As if.”

“Can you just stop it?” Reva sighed and looked between the two unhappily, her good mood gone as fast as it had come. She usually had fun watching Nova and Sage bicker, but tonight, it was making her restless. “All I want is to have some fun.”

“Right you are,” came the voice of Scarlett Tempest from behind them. She had gone to get new drinks and was now looking at Nova and Sage warningly. “The girl’s twenty-two and here you are talking over her head like she isn’t here.” She took one of the small shot glasses off her tray she was carrying and handed it to Reva. “She wants to have fun and that is what she’s going to have. Screw the public, screw the press, and screw the guys - that one writing shit about you in particular.”

She raised a glass of her own to Reva and downed it one go. Reva did the same and shuddered as the tequila burned its way down her throat. She decided to leave Sage and Nova to themselves and follow Scarlett and her tray instead.

Having had another round of shots with Robin, Zadie and Victoire, there was nothing keeping the girls off the dancefloor anymore. Reva took her turn dancing first with Robin, then Dana and eventually Rory for a while. She would have loved to dance with Zadie as well, but like always when music was playing, Zadie was in a world of her own; she was twisting and twirling across the dancefloor like nothing Reva had seen before and there were more than a few people staring at her admiringly, even though Zadie never noticed.

After a few more songs, everyone but Zadie and Reva had left the dancefloor again. The crowd had gotten thicker and soon a wall of people was separating them. Reva stopped and stepped to the edge of the dancefloor, letting her eyes wander over her group of friends back at their table.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves; Rylie was sitting on Rory’s lap, laughing as he said something into her ear; Nova and Sage were still bickering but seemed to be having fun doing it; Victoire and Robin were clearing up the last of the shots, while Dylan and Robin’s twin brother Nick were quietly suffering their fate with a bottle of beer each. They were listening to Dante, who was probably explaining to them why the drinks in this club were awful and what he would do differently. A little to the side, Dana and her friend Saffron were dancing with each other; Saffron was staring at the lights above them and had her hands up in the air, waving them from side to side in tune with her body, looking a little like seaweed underwater.

Reva made a move to go back to them but hesitated; everyone was having a good time and neither did she want to enter a conversation, nor did she want to drink any more shots with Robin and Victoire. All of her friends were fine and Reva felt like she would disturb them, so she turned around and returned to the dancefloor.

She had lost sight of Zadie, so she danced on her own for a little while. It wasn’t long before she was approached by a guy around her age who asked her to dance with him. Reva didn’t see a reason not to, but when he got closer and closer and bowed his head to kiss her, she quickly took a step back. She wanted to turn away and return to her friends but the guy grabbed her by the hand and held her back.

“What’s the matter all of a sudden? You weren’t so shy a minute ago.”

Reva flashed her eyes at him. “Let go, right now.”

“Or what?”

From across the room, Reva’s situation hadn’t gone unnoticed. But before either Rory, Dylan or Sage had any chance to come to Reva’s help, Scarlett had already slammed down her drink and came pushing through the crowd. When she reached Reva, she gave her suitor a look that would have made Reva’s blood freeze if it had been directed at her.

“Hands off her,” she snapped and the guy looked her up and down derisively. He clearly wasn’t impressed by what he was seeing.

“What do you even want?” he scoffed.

“Something you can’t have,” Scarlett said wryly. She freed Reva’s wrist from his hand, took her face into her hands and pressed a kiss to her lips that tasted of tequila, salt and lemon.

Reva stiffened for a second when their lips met, but when the jaw of the guy who had been harassing her dropped, she wrapped her arms around Scarlett’s neck and returned the kiss.

Out of the corner of her eye, Reva saw the guy mutter something to himself and shake his head. With a dismissive gesture he pushed past them and had vanished into the crowd a moment later.

Scarlett let go of her and her hazel eyes were sparkling mischievously. There was a smug grin on her face that made Reva giggle.

“What in Godric’s name was that about?” she wanted to know as Scarlett linked arms with her and led her back towards their friends.

“Someone needed to put that bloke in his proper place,” Scarlett replied and handed Reva a shot. “I’ve said it before - screw the guys. This evening’s about you, and I wasn’t going to let a lowlife like him ruin it for you.”

Reva took the glass off her and Scarlett raised her own. “Here’s to you, birthday girl.”

“No,” Reva shook her head as she clinked glasses with Scarlett and the rest of her friends, who had all come to celebrate with her. “Here’s to all of us.”

Sage Carridan as my part of an aesthetic trade with @kc-and-co <3

Who are the maids of honor and/or best men? Why and how were they chosen?

Which one proposed? Was it grand and public? Discreet and private? Was it expected?

One for Jage and one of MaxIvy. Totally your choice!

2.) Which one proposed? Was it grand and public? Discreet and private? Was it expected?

Max proposed when they were nineteen and it hit him that Ivy had made the decision to follow him, in many ways uprooting her whole life to be with him… at least, that’s how it felt to him. Max proposed very discreetly and privately, taking advantage of a quiet moment between the two of them. It wasn’t entirely expected, but Ivy had suspected that Max was going to do something fairly big. She just hadn’t been convinced that it was, in fact, a proposal.

7.) Who are the maids of honor and/or best men? Why and how were they chosen?

Jack’s best man is, unsurprisingly, his brother, Benedict. It was an easy decision to make. Ben has been by Jack’s side through everything. They’re twins and who else would he choose to be his best man?

Sage’s bridesmaids are Thea Whitten, Poppy Easterbrook (@cursebreakerfarrier), Noa March (@thatravenpuffwitch) and perhaps Reva Amari (@lifeofkaze). Thea was chosen because she is Jack’s cousin and one of the first friends that Sage ever made at Hogwarts. Poppy and Noa were chosen because the three of them make up the Ravenclaw roomies… all of whom are married or engaged to a Whitten. Reva was picked as one of Sage’s close friends.

Day Six: That's My Best Friend (Talk about a female friendship (can be a duo, trio o a whole damn group) that you adore) of @endlessly-cursed’s HP women appreciation week

Niamh Kelly & Primrose Gray → These two come from very different backgrounds and overcome it to become friends, which is part of what makes them interesting. They don’t let things like class or nationality stand in the way of their friendship and over their time at Hogwarts, they become quite close. @endlessly-cursed

Minerva Kennedy & Lottie Gallagher → These two have such a darling friendship. I love these girls so much. I cannot wait to actually figure out exactly how Minerva reacts to her best friend being in a relationship with her twin brother because Minerva does not react well at first. She comes around and is very happy to have Lottie be family. @slytherindisaster

Cara O’Donnell & Ruth Lyman → A quite recent addition, but these two get along quite well. Their friendship starts at the tail end of their sixth year, and is one that continues on. They may have fallen out of touch post-Hogwarts and during the war, but they come back together. Cara is the one that Ruth asks to illustrate her children’s books. Cara is the one to push Ruth back into connecting with Conor after the war because she sees how they seem more alive with one another.

Sara O’Donnell & Nymphadora Tonks → These two are a rather unusual duo and could be described as a bit of an odd couple. However, somewhere along the way, these two began really close friends. Sara is made godmother of Teddy, although she generally leaves most of that stuff to the Potters and Weasleys because that’s a rather intimidating family to get into. Sara names her eldest daughter after Tonks and even honors her friend by not making her daughter’s full name Nymphadora.

Thea Whitten & Sage Carridan → These two have such a sweet friendship. Sage was one of Thea’s first friends and they’ve remained close friends ever since, eventually becoming family when Sage marries Thea’s cousin, Jack. They’re just both sweethearts and I adore them. @kc-and-co

Sage had prepared for anything Quidditch Camp could throw at her, except for being paired against Thea’s team.

Thea’s team was quite talented, and included two of Ravenclaw’s chasers. However, the two teams could have been evenly matched… if Ben hadn’t been assigned to be her co-beater in an attempt to introduce some campers to new positions. While Ben may have been a brilliant seeker, he was a horrid beater and Sage was immensely impressed at his inability to ever hit the bludger. He’d even managed to knock himself out once. Unfortunately, Thea’s team hadn’t gotten any position switches which left Sage and her team at a distinct disadvantage and perhaps unsurprisingly, Sage’s team was soundly defeated that first game.

[unfortunate-arrow]

FANKIDS APPRECIATION WEEK, DAY 3: Holy Trinities

AISLING, SAOIRSE, and OISÍN LYNCH are the children of Tadhg Lynch and Niamh Kelly. Saoirse and Oisín are twins, five years younger than Aisling. They’ve generally got a good relationship, which is quite the antithesis to their father’s own sibling relationship. The three of them get on quite well, although Saoirse has a tendency to compare herself to her older sister and the twins are a bit closer to each other than they are to Aisling.

GIO, ENZO, and REVA ROVERE-PARSONS are the children of Georgie Parsons and Angelo della Rovere (@potionboy3). They usually get along alright, although the similarities between Gio and Reva can cause them to butt head and both of them are closer to Enzo than to each other. The Rovere-Parsons kids do have a good relationship, which is something their parents tried to foster in them… especially because there’s no extenuating circumstances that can cause too much damage to their sibling relationships.

MILES, JANE, and KATE O’NEILL are the children of Rory O’Neill. Miles is Rory’s son with his late first wife, Francesca Ashby, while Jane and Kate, are his twin daughters with his second wife, Ethel Malinda (@gaygryffindorgal). There’s a fourteen year age gap between Miles and the girls, which precludes a lot of chances for closeness between them during Jane and Kate’s childhood. However, as the girls grow up, their relationship with Miles grows closer and they’re able to find more in common with one another.

MAGGIE, RICHARD, and AUDREY SAPIEHA are the children of Aisling Lynch and Jojo Sapieha (@slytherindisaster). These three, in many ways, subvert expectations. Maggie’s the troublemaker, while Richard, who looks like his maternal grandfather, is the serious and responsible one and Audrey is the carefree animal lover. They generally get along, although Maggie is a bit older than Richard and Audrey. They do have a tendency to bicker a bit, but well, there’s genes from two of the Gryffindorks in these kids.

SETH, NAOMI, and CIARAN O’DONNELL are the triplet children of Conor O’Donnell and Ruth Lyman. Born shortly after Christmas, the triplets generally have a good relationship with one another. Seth, Naomi, and Ciaran are quite close and typically, their relationship is similar to their father’s relationship with his siblings. They’re rather similar to their parents and each other, which can cause some heads to butt. They’re also the youngest of the O’Donnell cousins.

WYATT, JONAH, and ZOEY MACKADE are the children of Nate MacKade and Nova Hartley (@gaygryffindorgal). Wyatt might be five years older than the twins, Jonah and Zoey, and a lot more carefree than either of them ever were, but he’s their big brother and he loves them. Jonah and Zoey love him too, even if they find him too obnoxious. Meanwhile, the twins have a strong relationship that’s prone to bickering as Zoey acts like the big sister and Jonah gets annoyed by it. Wyatt, Jonah, and Zoey love each other a lot, but like their cousins, they don’t always like each other.

LYLA, AMELIA, and TOMMY WHITTEN-MARCH are the adopted children of Thea Whitten and Noa March (@thatravenpuffwitch), although Lyla and Amelia are identical twins. Tommy joined the family last, at the age of four after the death of his father, while the twins, Lyla and Amelia were adopted as babies. Thus, it took them awhile to start forming a bond as Lyla and Amelia are also six years older than Tommy. However, they did eventually have a good relationship and prove that sibling bonds can transcend blood.

ASHER, HAZEL, and HUGH WHITTEN are the children of Jack Whitten and Sage Carridan (@kc-and-co). They have a good relationship, with Asher taking after their mother and Hazel and Hugh taking after their father. Hazel and Hugh have a slightly closer relationship than either of them have with Asher. However, this doesn’t stop a close bond from forming, as the siblings found ways to connect… commonly golf as they often accompanied their maternal grandfather to the golf course.

About Hugh: As the youngest child, Hugh is the family’s athlete. He loves pretty much every sport and will try every sport at least once. In some ways, it’s a bit of a mystery to his parents, who each have their preferred sports. Despite this, Hugh takes after his father a bit more than his mother, but unlike his older siblings, his personality is more of a combination. He’s got a close relationship with his siblings, especially his sister. In addition, Hugh is very close with his cousins, Leo and Tommy. He’s also got a good relationship with both of his parents, and he’s quite close with his maternal grandfather… who taught Hugh pretty much everything he knows about golf.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Hugh was quickly sorted into Slytherin. He found himself at home in Slytherin, fairly quickly. His sister was there and his favorite cousins were with him too. In his second year, he joins the Slytherin quidditch team in the position of keeper and by his sixth year, he’s made the team captain. He falls even more in love with quidditch during his time at Hogwarts, which draws him to a career.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Hugh becomes a professional quidditch player. For fifteen years, he played for the Ballycastle Bats. The next seven years sees him playing for the Appleby Arrows. His final ten years playing, he played for the Kenmare Kestrels.

About Tommy: The youngest child, Tommy spent the first four years of his life with his biological father. His biological mother had died in childbirth, and his father eventually died of an illness. Thus, at the age of four and a half, Tommy was adopted by Thea Whitten and Noa March. It took him a bit of time to become comfortable with his new family, with his new mothers and sisters. He liked his new cousins, though. Hugh and Leo quickly grew to be Tommy’s closest family. Over time, he developed a good relationship with his mums and his sisters, even though he never forgot his papa. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Tommy was sorted into Ravenclaw. He was quite comfortable in the house, and comforted by the fact that his cousins were also there too. Unlike Hugh and Leo, Tommy never joined the quidditch team. Instead, he joined the frog choir in his second year, where his passion for music continued to be fostered. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Tommy decided to pursue his love of music. His careers varied through the years, ranging from pub act to music teacher. He loved all of it.

Trivia:

Tommy’s middle name is after his biological father, while his first name is after his biological grandfather.

Tommy can play multiple instruments, although he prefers the guitar and piano. He also writes his own music.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Gus was quickly sorted into Hufflepuff. For a few moments, he was disappointed because he had hoped to be in Gryffindor just like his father had been and where his twin sister had been sorted. Despite this, Gus eventually found himself feeling quite comfortable within Hufflepuff. He joined the quidditch team in his third year in the position of seeker.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Gus went on to become an owlet trainer. He bounced around a bit careerwise, before settling on owlet trainer. 

Trivia:

Gus is named after his father’s grandfather, Angus Bruce, and his maternal grandfather, John Pembroke.

About Kennedy: As the younger twin, Kennedy takes after her mother a bit more than her father. She’s a bit more standoffish than her brother, and can get protective over him but not that often. She’s got a close relationship with Gus. He’s probably her favorite person, especially growing up. In addition, she’s got a good relationship with her parents and is closer to her mother the same way that her brother is closer to her father.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Kennedy was sorted into Gryffindor after being a hatstall between Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and surprisingly, Slytherin. She felt at home in Gryffindor, though. She joined the Gryffindor quidditch team in her fourth in the position of beater. She liked quidditch, but didn’t love it all that much and began to struggle with finding her place in the world, something that was heightened by the question of what she wanted to do in her fifth year.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Kennedy went through a few possible career choices, ranging from hit witch to wandmaker. Eventually, though, Kennedy found her place in politics, which was a bit fortuitous as the family her first name was taken from was well-known in wizarding politics. 

Trivia:

Kennedy’s name comes from her father’s grandmother’s maiden name, Cecilia Kennedy. Her middle name is after her mother’s maiden name, Lucretia “Lucy” Pembroke née Devlin.

Travel

Jack Whitten hoped the bulge underneath his jacket and its limp sleeve weren’t too noticeable. The pain had pretty much subsided and, even though he still needed to wear a sling, his injury had mostly healed. And, anyways, it was rare that they had more than just a day or two to spend together, so he didn’t want it marred by her fussing at him or, perhaps worse, being disappointed in him. 

“Jack!” Sage’s voice cried and he turned to see her barreling towards him.

She tugged him quickly into a hug and then, she pulled him down for a kiss. He sighed into her mouth, spearing his fingers through her auburn hair. 

“Hey, love,” Jack replied, once they’d broken apart a few moments later. 

“Hey. Now, what’s going on with your arm, Jack Edward?” 

“Nothing.” He caught the skeptical look in her eyes. “Fine. I fucked it up in a broom race. But I’m fine! It’s almost healed and I don’t feel any pain. I can still do everything.” 

“Jack!” 

“Sage, love, this is the first time in months that we have more than the just weekend together. I don’t want to spend it all focusing on my arm. It will be fine. The race was stupid. I know.”

“Fine. I’ll let it go. This time. Now, tell me where we’re going.”

Jack’s face lit up. “We’ve got a week, this time Sage. We’ll spend two days here in Germany and then three days in Italy with the last two days in Greece.”
