The Erikssons are a muggle family from Uppsala in Sweden, but the family with their son Arvid decided to move here in the British Isles when he was only three. His sister Signe, a muggleborn witch, was born when Arvid was four and he never failed to be a supportive muggle brother to her. For some time, Arvid and Signe traveled to Scandinavia mainly for his final college thesis and that's basically how they met Marleiv. Apparently, Arvid happened to meet a muggle woman in Sweden named Matilda in a Swedish University, which was the beginning of their friendship. The siblings and Matilda returned back to England and the siblings parted ways. Signe settle in a place for herself in Wiltshire and worked as a Hit Witch, while Marleiv decided to be a professor with his wife being a rising orchestra conductor and settled a family in Reading until their demise.
Currently, Matteo and Ivar were the only Erikssons who remain. Until Matteo adopted a kid named Charles.

▶ LOGICAL — Matteo is fairly intelligent, with the tendency to go off-board at times if he's not being careful. While he wasn't at genius-level, his studious nature makes it look like it otherwise. He likes anything that can challenge his mind and always thinks on the pragmatic side. He's fairly aware of what he's capable of- and thus when there's something Matteo can do, he will do it. However, Matteo has the tendency to promptly correct people when they say something wrong, thus coming off as being arrogant.
▶ HEEDFUL — He is a fairly quiet individual, but Matteo is a really good listener. When someone asked for someone to listen, Matteo would be happy to do so. He keeps whatever he heard on his head especially if it's necessary, and apparently, he sometimes would set aside his priorities just to hear what they wanted to say. He would also be open enough to consider their views and their concerns, too, giving him an open mind. Also, he has the tendency to eavesdrop unintentionally when he shouldn't.
▶ PROTECTIVE — Not wanting his loved ones suffer the same way as him, Matteo has gotten much protective for them. He shows utter concern if he finds out that someone is going through hardship and could be understandable overbearing. And if someone in his family went through mortal peril that was beyond his reach, Matteo would panic and feel that he should have done something to prevent it- or alternatively, think that he could have tried harder.
▶ SARCASTIC — When need be, Matteo can be really dry and sarcastic to people. A notable trait when being around his family and the people he's comfortable with, Matteo can joke around with this specific sense of humor. This is also his way to be passive-aggressive when feeling petty to the people he's having conflict with. Additionally, when placed to the wrong people, he was likely be frowned upon to people who doesn't take his humor and be labeled as someone who is arrogant.
▶ HEADSTRONG — The series of events thrown to him had made him grow a backbone, and thus Matteo keeps his guard on check. He doesn't back down for anyone and will not allow himself to be fooled around, literally and metaphorically. His goal is to not let his past get the best of the present and while Matteo does struggle due to memories being brought up to his mind in certain occasions, he keeps a straight face to endure it and doesn't allow it to hinder his actions. Of course, this gives a lot of pressure in Matteo's shoulders that it gets really bad for him when he doesn't find time to decompress.
▶ WELL-MANNERED — Contrary to popular belief, Matteo actually values manners in a daily basis. He's polite to the right people and doesn't see the point of abandoning them. He doesn't hesitate in shaking hands, despite that the person he's having a handshake with wasn't someone he liked. If one doesn't count the accent, he is well-spoken in conversations and doesn't bluntly say things that comes to his mind. However, when someone abuses his kindness and his tolerance for a very long time, Matteo is one to snap and drop his manners to show what he really felt.

Matteo Torsten Eriksson was born to a rich upper-middle class family to Professor Arvid and rising Orchestra Conductor Matilda Eriksson. His parents met in a Swedish University when his father was finishing his thesis and eventually watched Matilda playing an instrument, which was basically what started their friendship-turned-relationship and married after a few years. Growing up in Reading with a Music shop in their home, Matteo also grew up having godparents from Norway who visited their home in the holidays. He grew up surrounded by books, music, and science- thus the very concept of magic was very foreign to him; Though, his father never confirmed if magic was real or not. In other words, Matteo's childhood was a happy and normal one.
However, at age seven or eight, he was starting to have his signs of "unexplained shenanigans." Matteo was once threatened by a bully and all the sudden, said bully had his pants caught on fire. Another thief tried to steal his bicycle and the moment Matteo pointed a finger at him, the thief lost his balance and fell down. Afraid due to the fact that all of these things happened when feeling threatened, the boy decided to suppress it and not tell his parents about it. The teachers and classmates were getting the idea that Matteo was a walking jinx- a bad omen to anyone who had done wrong to him and thus, they ended up being afraid to him. The rumor reached to his parents' ears that they tried to talk to him out of it, though their son kept on insisting that nothing happened. That talking ended up his accidental magic triggering again, and so Matteo finally confessed everything to them. His mother was taken back with disbelief, but Matteo's father was fortunately able to take this very well. His aunt Signe, a muggleborn witch, was invited to come over and explain everything, with Matteo's father Arvid on the side for support. This was to comfort and assure Matteo not to feel the need to suppress it in unnecessary degrees, and so he reluctantly accepted the fact that there are also thing that was simply explained by "magic."
▶ SCHOOL LIFE —
After spending the summer reading magical schoolbooks, he was enrolled to Hogwarts just like his aunt and was smoothly sorted to Ravenclaw. There, he met a few friends- one of them was by the name of Kenji- a Hufflepuff guitarist who was above his year. Matteo was known to have lots of knowledge regarding the going-ons and rumors, while at the same time spending lots of time catching up to the Wizarding World and learning about them.
His first two years were uneventful until his third year: when he became an older brother for his newborn brother Ivar. And ever since he was quite an awkward doting brother. But come fourth year; he fell victim to the coma curse that spread in Hogwarts among muggleborns. One year of his life was wasted because of that and Matteo was very upset about it, because it means that he has to catch up about everything he missed. Then, eventually, he went home to find out that his parents passed away from a car accident- with many people from the University his father worked at and several people who knew about his well-known mother offering him condolences. Matteo was severely struck by the event while his Aunt Signe decided to move in to Reading to look after him and Ivar.
His fifth year was primarily torn between going through stages of grief and studying for his OWLs- so he wasn't exactly given the proper time to grieve as Matteo distracted himself by studying instead of dealing with his problems. The hardships weren't done with him when he and his remaining family went to the Fall Festival, the event when the vampires invaded the whole place. It was all bright lights and loud noises, but Signe died doing her duty to protect him and Ivar. Having survivor's guilt and thinking that he could have helped his aunt, Matteo decided to step in as he no longer wanted to disappoint his family's memory. After all, he also has a younger brother who would someday look up to him.
He also struggled to arrange his studying schedules and narrowly passed most of the exams, though he had to accept that he will have to drop some subjects. Since his godparents Marleiv and Kristborg heard the news from him, they decided to step in to adopt the two orphans. Matteo now found himself living with seven siblings, rooming with Austmar Eide. With them on support, he was able to properly grieve for his family during the summer until Matteo will have to return to Hogwarts to finish his sixth and seventh year. The healing wasn't linear, but he did his best. His last two years at Hogwarts were thankfully uneventful and was able to pass his desired NEWTs, and that was also the time he and Kenji decided to be a thing.
▶ POST-GRADUATION —
After spending months in Norway to figure out his life, Matteo decided to take in Ivar for them to return in Reading. But before that, he had made a tweak in his surname from Eriksson to Eriksson-Eide as an act of gratitude, and also because he felt out of place even in his godparents' house. Austmar decided to tag along eventually and he helped out wherever he can. Matteo then applied himself to the Auror department; doing his duties of taking care of his brother and studying for his training. He also revived his parents' music shop to stabilize their income, and hiring a reliable (muggleborn) shop assistant to handle it while he was away.
At age 21, he finished his training and was called to duty in Hogsmeade in that same year when the dark wizards decided to attack the village. During the firefight, he was going to save a student's life when a dark wizard managed to cast a sectumsempra and severely wounded Matteo's leg. He was going to finish him and the student off until Matteo's wand and hand moved to its own accord and knocked off the wizard. Being gravely wounded, Matteo spent so many months (maybe even almost a year) in St. Mungos. After several physical therapies, he waited for full recovery until he could go back to the Auror department. Kenji, his boyfriend at the time, grew very concerned about Matteo's choice and went to the point of breaking up but fortunately, It took some years of not talking to finally rekindle their friendship.
Matteo's life after that was mostly spent in looking after his brother until he was ready for school, looking after his music shop, and working hard for his family. Come Summer 2036, when he happened to visit Honeydukes only to remeet one of his housemates above his year, Bryony Summers… Or rather, Bryony Thorburn. He already heard of her, especially the fact when she was a widow of one of the many victims according to the Auror department, and an Auror will have to be blind and deaf to not know anything about it.
They started to become friends, and Matteo found himself visiting Honeydukes from time to time to visit her and sometimes her many children. Matteo was honestly caught off-guard by the fact that Bryony's children liked him well, but he found it relieving due to the fact that usually children were intimidated by him. As time goes by, two years later he decided to ask her out despite the fear he had about probably being hated by her kids (even if that was false), except he was wrong and they do end up being a couple. Matteo was relieved of the smooth turn of events and made him think that maybe he deserved to have moments of peace and mundanity.
Winter 2039, he met a kid named Charles Abbott when he visited the orphanage and they get along quickly. Much to his surprise and relief. Months later in the summer, he decided to work on his nerves and ask Charles if he wanted to be adopted. The kid happily said yes and after tons of paperwork, Charlie was officially adopted and Matteo let his new son keep his original surname- knowing what it feels to want to keep the original family memory alive.

xxx𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx Charlie was born as the third Charles Ian in his family. His mum was happy to agree to the name, as she liked the little family tradition. He was raised in a small countryside farm with no real rules or regulations, something his parents were happy to admit to everyone. He was allowed to do what he wanted when he wanted, as the parents did. They were just a crazy family. One night he was going to bed in his parent's bed (because that's the safest place, of course) when someone broke into their home. His dad went down to investigate, wand lit and ready to fight. Unfortunately, there was hurriedly the sound of struggle, followed by a painful silence. In this time, Charlie's mother silently lifted the boy, hurrying to push him up into the little trapdoor for the attic. Shortly after she closed it, Charlie sat in the dark, listening to the painful sounds of her death. He struggled to keep silent as the man searched for anyone else, before the house was finally silent. Time passed (though he didn't know how much) and he heard the sounds of police officers in the room below. The boy kicked and shouted, calling attention to himself. Upon being pulled free of the dusty attic, he was taken to live at an orphanage. There, Charlie secretly vowed to continue his wild ways, refusing to be silent, if only to prove to himself that he'd be just as much a protector as his father was.
At the orphanage, Charlie came to befriend a man named Matteo. The two quickly hit it off, and before too long, Matteo asked Charlie about adoption. Charlie agreed, provided he could keep his family name. As that wasn't a dealbreaker, Charlie was soon adopted.

▧ 【 Iɴᴅɪᴠɪᴅᴜᴀʟɪᴛʏ 】
➥ Personality
▶ KIND — He's both a lover and a fighter, Ivar is a kind-hearted one and is willing to help his friends. He knows when to listen and he's basically a shoulder to cry on, hence he can be a reliable friend. However, he tends to be a bit too kind, that to one point people could either abuse or take advantage of his kindness even though he doesn't want to be fooled around. As for the fighter part, specifically to his loved ones, he tends to be quite protective towards his loved ones and his older brother is one of them.
▶ DYNAMIC — Ivar looks up to his brothers, but he wants to cast his own shadow rather than be under someone else's as he was actually encouraged to do so. He loves to see something great and likes to do something positively memorable while at the same time he, of course, isn't really being a troublemaker. He's also a dreamer, too-- He tends to dream big and would really like to do something big and challenging, hence it makes him determined and motivated to do things.
▶ HUMOROUS — Ivar's humor has three types: it could be dry, witty, and punny if he actually has the effort to do so. He really likes to make his friends giggle and would say something that would hopefully be funny enough to make some people smirk. For the most part, he says or does something out of sheer curiosity of how would people react to it. However, he's not really the best joke-maker to some people, as his humor is at most corny and sometimes it's something people won't understand especially if it's from pure wit.
▶ SMART — Every humorous person has a smart streak in them to create wit, and Ivar is apparently one of them. While he likes reading books and playing classical music with a violin, Ivar likes to research some fun stuff he really loved especially things that were funny, interesting, and mind-blowing. Of course, he's intelligent enough to know when to be serious or not, and he could be the voice of reason if Ivar wants to. He also knows better than engaging to violent fights and does his best by keeping things civil while letting someone know that he doesn't approve it.
▶ BROODING — Even if he doesn't show it a lot, Ivar has some thoughts in his mind that he decided to keep it himself. Being well-aware that his brothers are running really dangerous jobs, he couldn't help but worry and emotional about what could happen to them. Ivar could think of many things that could possibly go wrong and sadly, sometimes he would just keep the thoughts to himself. However, when he does voices his concerns and people don't listen, that's when he felt bitterness and resentment.

On the day of Halloween, Ivar was born as a 'happy accident', ending his older brother Matteo's years of being a single child. His parents were thrilled to have another child but sadly, Ivar was only a baby when they met their demise in a car accident. After following their last relative's death, Ivar and Matteo ended up being taken in by their godparents in Norway for a while. It was a happy blur until Matteo reached eighteen and moved back to England with his little brother, wanting Ivar to learn more about his origins as well as preserving their late parents' memory. Their other adoptive brother Austmar moved in with them at Reading, Berkshire. Ivar was primarily raised by his two brothers most of the time, showing magic before he could walk, showing excellence in a Muggle school, and idolized Matteo for being an auror.
That idolization ended at age seven when he heard the news about the Hogsmeade Attack, where Matteo was called to duty and was gravely injured that Matteo could have probably died. Ivar was deeply struck by grief and it took so many weeks before he could calm down by being constantly reminded that Matteo was really alive and recovering, but that didn't stop him from worrying over other things after that. Other than that, given that he was surrounded by a magical family in a muggle neighborhood, Ivar was well aware of his magic even since he was a toddler. Thus, he could always say that he was excited to go to Hogwarts like his brother and the late Aunt Signe before him.
▶ SCHOOL LIFE —
"I simply start you on a path, a path that changes constantly. With a heart such as yours, your path starts with Hufflepuff!"
His school started well as he was surprisingly (but not really) sorted to Hufflepuff. Ivar had met lots of friends started from Glynn Llewellyn, Arnie Diarmid, Reyna Whyte, Tiernan Yaxley, and Balder Borson. However, Ivar wasn't very fond of Vitomir Nicoli, a fellow Slytherin who was a rich brat, and so he ended up making fun of the Slytherin for being 'melodramatic'. He and his friends, with Reyna on the lead, went on an adventure in Hogwarts to search some passages as well as the kitchens. Of course, Peeves came into play and pulled pranks on them. Either way, it was really fun.
Second year wasn't what Ivar would call "good" per se. While he did meet his friends as per usual, Glynn wasn't himself at all when compared from last year, where he was much relaxed and friendlier. Then eventually, Reyna proposed an idea of going in an "adventure" in the Forbidden Forest. Ivar didn't agree and tried to talk her out of it but she was being stubborn about it, to the point that Ivar had to join in the intention of keeping an eye of his friends. One night at Spring, he (unwillingly) ventured to the forest with Oliver, Reyna, Vitomir, Arnie, and (God forbid) Glynn. Ivar felt that it was going to be a bad idea, but he didn't say anything that he thought that no one will listen to him either way. Unfortunately, something did happen as Glynn attempted to get himself killed by an acromantula, the others went to fend it off on their own until Professor Hill showed up and saved their arses. After that, they ended up getting detentions and things went downhill. Ivar was upset to Glynn, but he was much angrier to Reyna that he decided to avoid her for the rest of the year. So, at the start of the summer, Ivar's brother Matteo found out about the whole thing and chewed him out for it. Reyna also had the nerve to send him letters after the whole thing,
Ivar's third year was neither good nor bad, but one could tell that he was having rough feelings. He avoided Reyna as much as possible and to show what he felt, Ivar made sure to give her a cold shoulder. However, avoiding Reyna gave him a hard time to ever interact with the rest of his friends because they usually hang out with her. Meanwhile, he felt that Glynn was feeling worse than ever, and even tried to be dodgy when being asked if he was okay, which hurt Ivar. Then at the near end of the school year, Reyna decided to talk to Ivar in the common room's entrance, wanting to give a full apology and asking for another chance to redeem herself. Ivar didn't buy it at first until she pointed out that she wasn't talking to him out to "forgive and forget, so he reluctantly gave her a second chance. Ivar wasn't good at forgiving, but he will try to make the first step.
His fourth year came out in a way as if everything went back to normal, only with a few catches. To reconcile his loose relationship with Reyna, he invited her to his home in Reading and hang out during the summer. Then, when school started, Ivar, after hearing whatever happened to Glynn and Balder through Matteo (albeit vaguely), he went to the former to check on him while at the same time wanting to at least hang out with him like they normally used to do when they were first years. Surprising to him, Glynn accepted, though he did looked a bit hesitant- but at least he was now willing to hang out with them. Additionally, Ivar now made it to the main string as a Beater and was appointed Vice Captain by Balder. However, Ivar's performance (in his own opinion) was really bad, unable to save and hit people successfully that he ended up questioning his position sometimes. It was even worse when he was nearly knocked out during the last match against Ravenclaw, had their seeker Melody not catch the snitch on time. Fortunately, they won at least one game and got the second-most points among the four houses, so Ivar didn't feel bad about it anymore.
His fifth year was normal, albeit he had a few things that he was constantly worried about. Sure, Glynn did changed his hair color and Ivar thought it was all normal and fun. But well, that is until Balder eventually told him the entire story of what happened during last year's summer in the middle of the year. Ivar felt shocked and felt bad now that he heard the entire story, especially when the entire issue of it stems to the topic of family. Ivar felt like he had to stop feeling bad about not having parents his entire life and just having his brothers raise him, instead he keep in mind to himself that there are other people who are more unfortunate than him even if they got parents. On the other hand, approaching Glynn was becoming harder for him for the rest of the year, as if he was walking on eggshells.
In his sixth year, it was a mix of good times and tragedies for Ivar. One, he witnessed Rory having a breakdown and he consoled him during the Sorting Feast. And after that, they strangely get along and even ventured together to the Haunted House. It was awesome. Second, his friends were in some form of a pithole. Glynn was becoming worse and number than Ivar ever feared, while it also angered him for having to see him not acting out about it. Reyna's father died and she was in her bad condition, and then Arnie became pregnant with Oliver's baby which was really contributing to Ivar's irritation. Having enough of it, he then ventured off to confront Glynn in the boathouse- with Ivar angrily snapping at Glynn about how self-destructive and secretive he was becoming. In return, it was enough for Glynn to finally get angry, snap, and did a lot of punching walls. Ivar should feel bad, but he thought it was worth it while he also assured Glynn that anger was actually a necessary emotion and not something to bury with.
His seventh year as a Head Boy and Quidditch was a lot to take for Ivar, but he supposed he's grateful that he has vice captaincy experience to make up for it. Their plays were still good despite having two new chasers, just that they were outplayed by Ravenclaw's seemingly natural seeker and Slytherin. They still kept the good spirit, though. He honestly felt bad about how Gryffindor was losing ever game, even if it seemed Eve wasn't miffed about due to the understanding that Drew was new. Oh well, Ivar was confident that Drew will try again next year! Other than that, Ivar found himself hanging out with Rory more often than expected- going to not-dates and whatnot. He felt that his friends were on board about it, even if he felt that Rory probably didn't see Ivar as his type. As for his NEWTs, well he worked hard on it as much as he can to ensure that he could at least get the qualification of being a healer.
▶ POST-GRADUATION —
He graduated in Hogwarts happily and applied as a healer-in-training. Ivar, to also try to seek a new perspective, decided to move out from his ancestral home and moved in with Glynn's. One thing for certain, the atmosphere in Wales was quite different compared to the streets of Berkshire he grew accustomed to. Then months later in Summer 2040, he and Ruaridh were hanging out in the Hogsmeade park- the former being flirted by someone. Somehow it made Ruaridh feel really jealous that Ivar decided to tell him what's wrong. It ended up with them admitting feelings and in the end, they decided to make the relationship official.
