xxxPERSONALITY ____xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kind Alarick would never hurt a fly. He is gentle with everything and wants to see everything grow stronger. Dedicated Alarick knows what it takes to get work done, and he is dedicated to finishing that job. He will do whatever it takes to see a job finished, even if it means not seeing his family for months on end. Hopeful Alarick wants to see the best in everyone and everything, no matter how bad the situation. Very optimistic kind of guy. Open Minded Alarick accepts the viewpoints of others, and considers them all as valid. He’s open to other solutions, even if they don’t line up with his own beliefs. Sometimes, what others think of will work out the best. Adventurous Alarick wants to see the world, to see any secrets that are to be discovered. His sense of adventure was known to get him in trouble during school, but turned into a great trait to have when he became a wizard ambassador. HumourousAlarick has a sense of humor, like no other. He likes to believe his humor came from him acquiring Dad status at such a young age, he’s had plenty of time to make Dad jokes. He likes to find the funny little things in life, trying to bring laughter and smiles to those around him.(What do you use to determine a good dad joke? You use a Sighsmograph.)

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EARLY CHILDHOOD [October 22nd 2012: Born] Alarick was born in Godric’s Hollow to Mr. and Mrs. Lorien.
[2019: The Neighbor Girl] There was a girl who lived next door, she was old. Not super old, only a few years older than Alarick. For some reason though, his parents thought she was old enough to babysit him. The girl kept talking on a can and string, and yelling out the window. He didn’t care for that very much, but at least he didn’t have to go to the boring meeting with his parents. (He would eventually find out this girl’s name was Delia Chance, and she wasn’t the one babysitting, it was their other neighbor Martin.)
[2019: Congrats, he’s not a squib] Alarick was sad that Martin was sad. Martin was stuck at home while everyone else went to Hogwarts. Alarick enjoyed spending time with just Martin though, Martin was cool. Alarick started to watch Martin play games. He was impressed by the dedication and skill set Martin had. One day though, Martin was playing a particularly detailed game, and Alarick wanted it bigger, it made him angry that the screen was so small. After a bout of accidental magic, the tv Grew larger, but proceeded to let out a puff of smoke. Alarick was startled, Martin was startled, and after explaining to the adults, they realized it must have been Alarick and accidental magic. The adults were incapable of fixing the TV, and had to get a new one (magic + electronics = no good)
SCHOOL YEARS
FIRST YEAR ~ 2024 - 2025
Alarick was thrilled to go to Hogwarts, he would see more people than he did when he was stuck in Godric’s Hollow. He could finally make new friends that were his age, none of those older kids. Unfortunately, some of those older kids also went to Hogwarts. And even worse, he was stuck in the same house as them. He would have no free time from his annoying older neighbors. He spent a lot of his time goofing off, and failed the first half of his first year. Delia had a stern talking to him, something about how he would never get away from her if he didn’t study, that was a huge motivator to study harder, and avoid Delia telling his parents about how poorly he had done.
SECOND YEAR ~ 2025 - 2026
Alarick joined the school quidditch team, what else was he going to do in his free time? He however, spent every game in the reserves, something with how he couldn’t play unless his grades were as good as his quidditch skills? They let him keep coming to practice, and every game had him sit out. It was maddening - what was the point of being on a team if he never got to play?
THIRD YEAR ~ 2026 - 2027
Alarick had picked out his electives, he questioned why he had taken Arithmancy, he hated numbers. Frankly, he wasn’t that great at runes either. He tried hard, but even after studying he barely passed the year.
He decided to stop playing quidditch after the previous year, it was boring then, but it sure was probably going to be more boring now. He also was super tired of Elysia always giving him talks about quidditch strategy and the universe, why were his neighbors so weird? Instead, he began exploring underneath the quidditch stands while the games were going - it was rather fun to see how oblivious people were.
FOURTH YEAR~ 2027 - 2028
Alarick was failing his electives and History of Magic. He had done pretty well in his other main classes, but school was such a bother. His head of house pulled him into a meeting, and made him promise to do better. As part of his promise to take classes more seriously, Alarick had decided to attend a number of office hours each week. It was in those office hours that he first met Kadence Knapp. Ravenclaw. She had the most noticeable blond hair, and brown eyes. If love at first sight was a thing, Alarick didn’t feel it at that moment. He kept running into the girl as he was studying, and the girl kept being a know-it all, as if she was trying to impress him. He just thought she was the most annoying kid possible. Was this what Della thought of him hanging around?
During his many hours spent one-on-one with the professors, he found he was genuinely interested in the subjects and started studying just for the sake of learning more. Alarick found that while he never cared for history before, he was fascinated by the stories in History of Magic, and learned as much as he could there.
FIFTH YEAR ~ 2028 - 2029
He acknowledged Kadence Knapp for the first time. Sure, he had just said “Get out of my way you nerd,” but that was the starting point of it all. Her reply came to him in a voice that was squeaky, it was like nails on a chalkboard to his ears. She stopped him by grabbing his hand and asking, “Go on a date with me?” He couldn’t believe it, this little 12 year old was asking him out? Why were kids so weird? He laughed her off, telling her they couldn’t go on a date, she wasn’t allowed at Hogsmeade, try again next year. She continued to follow him around, giggling when he caught her watching him.
However, Alarick began blocking her out. It was time to study, he had OWLs to pass (and he did pass. Most of them.)
SIXTH YEAR ~ 2029 - 2030
Given his excellence in Transfiguration, Alarick took Animagus Studies in his Sixth year, but kept messing up his potion with all else he had to work on. He laughed when he received a note on the first day of the year, Kadence Knapp asking him out on a date during the first Hogsmeade weekend. He smiled and looked over to her, not surprised to find her eyes staring back at him. He nodded and she clapped, turning back to her classmates. They went on their first date soon after, and another after that, and before they knew it they spent more time together than apart. Alarick had fallen in love with the girl he had found small and annoying.
SEVENTH YEAR~ 2030 - 2031
During his Seventh year, he studied harder than ever before. He needed to get good grades so he could have a great job, so he could take care of his future family. He heard a radio speech by Alan Stephenson (NPC), a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, on the potential of magic to eliminate poverty and facilitate world peace. It was the second time he fell in love–this time with a cause. He began to study harder with more dedication, he would pass to become something great in the ministry.
However, he still had his first love - Kadence. They were closer than ever. They had only been dating for a year now, but there weren’t many couples their age that were as close as they were. Alarick loved Kadence, and was glad to be with her and do anything for her. A lot of people said their relationship was foolish, but Alarick didn’t care.
On another note, Alarick had a bookshelf fall on him and Kadence this year, ingraining a life long dislike of bookshelves.
On a second note, Alarick had many worries leading up to his NEWTs. Kadence was pregnant. They had assumed she was just stressed over her exams, a normal enough reason to get sick. However, after a trip to the hospital wing, assumingly for a stomach bug or stress, she was told she was pregnant. They hadn’t been with anyone else. He had knocked up his fourth year girlfriend. They hadn’t even known each other for three years!
POST-GRADUATION [June 2031: Newly Graduated] Alarick was invited (strongly told) to stay at the Knapp residence in Hampshire County, to properly get to know the Knapp family, and be able to be around to help with Kadence. It was a nightmare. The parents had so many ideas about how they would raise the baby, who hadn’t even been born yet. Aldrick was getting antsy about the whole thing, he needed to go out, see the world, do something useful. He wanted to be successful for Kadence, for their child. After talking with Kadence, it was decided, they would move after she was done with school, and he was settled in his job.
With Kadence’s support, Alarick put himself through a very grueling first few months with the Department of International Magical Cooperation (DoIMC), and finally was appointed as an assistant of Alan Stephenson himself. He was super pumped to meet his hero, and found himself even more inspired by Stephenson’s vision for the future of the wizarding world.
As a junior staff member, Alarick spent a lot of time scheduling travels, studying to learn more about Charms and Wizarding/Muggle Laws for the betterment of muggle and wizarding quality of life. While Alan Stephenson was the one doing the policy making and other researchers and artificers were making that happen, Alarick’s job was being able to communicate the spells and theories, how they were done, how they could improve lives, and what this meant for international wizarding policy.
[January 4, 2032: Your first child] Alarick was in love. He loved his job, his girlfriend, but this baby, it was part made of him and was just wow. They named the child Aldrick, leaving a bunch of middle names, some weird tradition that Kadence wanted for all of their kids. Kids. plural. She wanted to have more with him, in the future, after she graduated. While Kadence was at school, the Knapp grandparents gladly took care of their little grand baby, while Alarick was at work. He came home every night, tired, but happy to see his newborn son.
[February 14th, 2034: Congrats, It’s a girl!] Alarick had made another mistake. Kadence, a month before returning to Hogwarts for her Seventh year, was ill. After a hospital visit, they realized she was pregnant. Her parents were furious. His parents were furious. Kadence was furious. She went through most of her seventh year being pregnant and eventually, on Valentines day, having Brook. Alarick was sorry about Kadence missing out on studying time for the ever important exams, but this little girl– He thought Aldrick was the heart clencher, but no that came from Brook. He knew right away, this little girl would have him wrapped around her fingers.
[Summer 2034: You Planned this!] Alarick had just gotten to the Knapp house, only being a few minutes later than usual. There was something weird going on, and he was pretty sure a trip out of the country was coming soon, one he would obviously not go on. He was looking forward to seeing his children and girlfriend, maybe getting some time away from the office. However, the second he walked into the house, it was too quiet. He went to the kid’s bedroom and they weren’t there. He came back out, to find Kadence standing in the living room, glaring at him. She began yelling at him about how this was his fault, she was a failure because he had planned for them to have kids around the crucial moments of her exams. She had failed almost all of her classes, and didn’t know what she was going to be able to do for her life. Thus - proceeded a fight. The fight ended with Alarick exclaiming he was over it, and thus he began coming home later and later, leaving earlier and earlier, avoiding seeing his girlfriend, her parents, and unfortunately, his children.
[September 12, 2034: This is enough] Kadence threatened to have Alarick lose all parental rights to their children. He wouldn’t, couldn’t, do that. He loved his children and how Aldrick made his little sister giggle. They meant the world to him. The two began to talk out their disagreements, and began going to counseling. Which did wonders, Alarick did still avoid the house most days, but he was sure to always set aside one day a week to be a better father and boyfriend to his children and Kadence.
[March 5th, 2037: Mr. and Mrs. Lorien Pass away] [March 28th, 2037: Congrats, they’re twins!] Mrs. Lorien passed away after a months-long fight with a magical disease, and a few months later, Mr. Lorien died of heartbreak. While crushed, Alarick had more to distract himself from his grief: Kadence was very pregnant, and Alarick himself was busy with work, trying to impress the Department. He barely had time to see Brook and Aldrick, but he believed his girlfriend was doing a great job at raising their kids. They took over his childhood home in Godrick’s Hollow, after it had been left to him following his parents death. He had a beautiful girl, a beautiful house, wonderful children, and a job that paid well. All he needed in life now, was to make this beautiful woman his wife.
[April 8th, 2037 - Engagement] Shortly after the birth of their twin sons, they moved into his parents house at Godric’s Hollow. When he carried her over the threshold, he put her down and got on one knee, and asked her to marry him. She laughed and said of course. After their engagement, they began not going to counseling anymore, they didn’t need it if they were going to marry, clearly their overall issue before was their lack of a permanent commitment.
image: alarick when he was getting engaged
The two would get married in July of 2041, leaving a long engagement for Kadence to plan her dream wedding.
[Sometime in 2039: It’s not exactly a promotion] In 2039, Alan Stephenson was appointed Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, and as his Chief of Staff, Alarick’s workload also increased. Additionally, while Alarick wasn’t always the one writing late-breaking Charms reports, he had a duty to mentor the younger staff members and had grown attached to his contacts. His dedication to his work meant that each report that crossed the desk of Alan Stephenson or any report that was sent out to the International Confederation was always top quality. Personally keeping up with this Charms theory certainly wasn’t expected of him, but Alarick knew he was capable and knew it would help, so he continued to keep up with it.
[April 1st, 2042: MOAR TWINS]
[January 3rd, 2043: Guess you’re going to stay around] Alarick had been working for over a decade with the Department of International Magical Cooperation, as an employee. While he didn’t have any official decision making power, his concise and thorough research, clear and persuasive reports, and friendly and reliable demeanor had earned him a position of respect throughout the Department and indeed the international wizarding law community. When Alarick expressed interest in a spot as a delegate of the British seats opened up, Alarick was unanimously decided as the best possible candidate for the role.
[February 19th, 2046: Another Boy?] [May 2nd, 2048: Another Girl?]
[September 21st, 2049] While he was working, filing away a report, he received an urgent floo from his wife. That was strange, Kadence never contacted him while he was at work, they had their weekly firechats, but they had just talked last night. That was when the worst news was given to him, their house had partially caught on fire, and Deepak was gone. One of their beautiful children, he had barely gotten to know Deepak. A parent should not have to bury their child, but that’s what happened as they said good-bye to Deepak too soon. Alarick threw himself deeper into his work, he would make the world a better place for his kids.
[March 20th, 2054– Supreme Mugwump????] With Alan Stephenson out on extended leave due to a series of personal tragedies, (he may or may not have died; no one could confirm it, not even Alarick) Alarick was recommended as his replacement. While there were some voices that protested the Supreme Mugwump being another British seat, the Minister of Magic seemed content to put Alarick on the seat. Alarick was thrilled, he was in a position of power and he would be able to use that for the better of society. He began missing his weekly chats with Kadence, he missed grandchildren being born, he fully dedicated himself to his work giving 120% of his time to the department. There were always things to be done, things that needed to happen!
[June 2054: Please no more kids after these two]
[April 17th, 2055: We need a career change] Kadence demanded counseling. Again. She felt ignored, said the kids were ignored, and mentioned something about a Winchester coming to visit to ask for custody of Flick?
They began doing counseling again, and Alarick was forced to look back on the past few decades. He looked at pictures of his grandchildren. His children. He had seen them grow up, mostly through pictures. His youngest were almost a year old now. He had almost completely lost his precious Flick, who was already being raised in a home that was not with their blood family, because Kadence couldn’t handle who Flick wanted to be. Alarick knew Flick was in a better place mentally, if they were with the Winchesters. Alarick made sure that he gave the Winchesters funds to help care for his little Flick, but it wasn’t the same as showing someone you cared for them. He didn’t want to lose all of his kids, like he had lost little Deepak so many years ago.
It was time for a career change, he had taken on a lot at his work in the Ministry; he had gone from a mere employee, to a member, and to Supreme Mugwump in a short amount of time. Not many could say they had accomplished so much. He had made friendships, not made any mortal enemies, and had some good relations with people he hadn’t before.
He had heard there were some positions open at Hogwarts, and he decided that Charms would be a good option, he had of course kept up with his charm work while doing work (It wasn’t like he just sat and manually read and wrote everything!) He applied for the position, upper level charms, and went in. He would be able to spend time with his kids who were Hogwarts age, and be able to see his wife and other children more often than he did now.
He was sad to leave his commitment of making the world better through the ministry, but maybe he would be able to do good in the world by teaching the upcoming generations.
Kelebek tho. [TBD]

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Aldrick is the oldest of his siblings, growing up he always had a younger sibling, having three by time he turned 11. He was friendly to them, and taught them whatever he knew, mostly his sister who was only a few years younger than he was. Sometimes though, he would get jealous and become mean towards them, bullying them into doing what he wanted. As he grew up however, he just started to not care.
Coming from a wizarding family, Aldrick knew that he was a wizard even before he began showing magic. Once he did, he was thrilled. He could finally follow in his family's footsteps, and he would be the first one there and wouldn't have to live up to their expectations. Also, he'd be setting the standards for the family that would follow in the upcoming years. He was thrillwed, and couldn't wait for that day for Hogwarts to start. When he received his letter, he immediately begged his parents to go to get school supplies, and since then, he was trying to read all the books he could about his favorite subject, history of magic.
SCHOOL YEARS
FIRST YEAR
Aldrick was sorted into Gryffindor, befriended Lizzie and kind of August. He did his work, and survived. Had a decent partner in potions, who did nothing. which was ideal to Aldrick.
SECOND YEAR
Aldrick attended classes, and joined the art club. Where he and Lizzie decided he would color Lizzie's hair whenever Aldrick was bored, a plan that did not go as expected. Other than surviving classes, not much else happened. He survived a second year of Hogwarts, maybe next year would be more eventful.
THIRD YEAR
The electives year. Also the year his kid sister and her friends started, he knew he'd have to keep an eye on them, but it seemed that Lizzie had taken over that roll nicely. At least the little ones had found a good person to follow around and ask their questions to. Lizzie was something else, and Aldrick was starting to realize that. Of course, it was also nice to be able to occasionally help the little ones out with their classes. The only struggle was finding the time to do so, with the electives he had to keep up with August in order to maintain his status as the brightest there was in their year. He would continue to improve his studies, and surpass August, because that was now Aldrick's one goal in life.
FOURTH YEAR
Nothing too exciting happened this year, except that Aldrick learned sign language, asked out a cute deaf girl, Jessalyn, and somehow was promoted to the Leader of the Art club for the following year. Good things were happening in Aldrick's life, and he was excited to see what else happened. Of course, there were the note great things, such as that kiss with Lizzie, who was overly dramatic about the whole incident, what was up with that?
FIFTH YEAR
Aldrick's OWL year started out great, and by great he started it out by breaking up with a wonderful girl, Jessalyn. He just, couldn't be the one for her. Maybe one day but as he was right now, no she deserved someone better. He went through the rest of the year trying to better himself, and that included studying to better his grades. He had to beat August at his studies. Of course, August did better than Aldrick did, but Aldrick was pretty proud of what he had done for his grades. He had a revelation, that maybe cursebreaking would be a good career for him, he had accidentally taken all the OWLs for it, and done decently at those, why not have a career changes? All in all, a good year, but not nearly as exhausting as the following two years would be.
SIXTH YEAR
This was the year that Aldrick would finally get his girl. Through many attempts to ask her out, turns out the best way was straight to her face, Lizzie was his best friend, and now girlfriend. He continued on with his art captaincy, and watched as his brothers grew into being the little wizards they were. Nothing too exciting happened, but it was only sixth year.
SEVENTH YEAR
Aldrick got Lizzie pregnant. His brother died. He was engaged. The world really had a way of flipping upside down. Yet somehow, he survived. He passed his NEWTs, he made it through (and didn't get killed by Lizzie.
POST GRADUATION
The First Portion (2050 - 2055)
Aldrick became a father to two beautiful boys, twins (Liam and Lark, September 2050). He started his career of curse breaking, doing a lot of sketching work for the places they went, and sometimes putting himself in danger, It would all be fine though, he would be successful for the kids. However, as time went on, he would marry the love of his life, Lizzie (August, 2052) and they would have a third (Peggy, March 2053) and fourth (Nina, Summer 2054).
He spent more and more time away from home, and Lizzie had more responsibilities with her work. He felt he spent more time at work than he did with his kids, and he hated it. He knew he had to change his career path, and that was when he saw a positioning for the Cursebreaking Professor position. He had wanted to be a teacher when he was growing up, and now...he could teach and put what his career had been post-graduating.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Cenek and Chadwick Knapp were born the third and fourth children of Alrick and Kadence. They grew up with magic around them, their parents casting charms to keep the house clean, their oldest brother practicing when he was out of school (without a wand of course). When they started showing signs of accidental magic, it was chaos for their mother. They were known to Break random objects (Chadwick) and then repair them (Cenek) before their mom could figure out what that crash was.
As they grew older, Chadwick and Cenek began showing signs of being different (gasp twins can be different?!). Chadwick was outgoing, brave, and not very nice. He seemed very similar to how his older brother, Aldrick, had been as a child. Meanwhile, Cenek was reserved, kind of fearful, and very polite. Chadwick was the twin that shined and took the glory (as much as young children can that is). Cenek let himself stay in the shadows, and would clean up any issues that Chadwick would cause. If Chadwick broke something, Cenek would clean it and take the blame. If Chadwick pushed another kid and hurt them, Cenek would pick them up and help them clean up (and if someone mixed them up in the process and thought Cenek was the one who pushed them, well, let it be). Unless you knew which twin was which, one would think that Cenek was the rough, crude with a bad attitude twin, and Chadwick was the one that would be kind to anyone.
When Brook left to go to Hogwarts, Cenek knew he would get in more trouble. Brook was kind to them all and so were her friends. He tried to take less of the blame from Chadwick’s issues, but everyone still assumed it was him. He started to learn how to bake, so maybe when Brook was back from Hogwarts the girls would let him stay with them, because they all enjoyed food. Of course, that meant Chadwick had to come behind him and learn how to cook too, trying to be better at everything that Cenek was, it was exhausting.
When they were 7 Cenek and Chadwick met Sparrow while attending a party with their parents. Afterwards, they saw her frequently while spending time with their grandparents. Chadwick was cruel to the girl, and treated her like a yoyo. If she was there and Chadwick was bored, he would do something cruel to her. But, she was crushing hard on Chadwick, and Cenek knew. She was Cenek’s best friend. Just like everything else, when Chadwick upset her, Cenek was there to help her cheer up. The fact that she was his best friend, and Chadwick’s whatever, didn’t help people not mix them up. She was with one of the two of them a lot, but at least she could tell the difference between the two. She wasn’t friends with both of them because she thought they were the same person, she had different relationships with both of them and could tell them apart. At least in that, Cenek could appreciate, he wasn’t just Chadwick’s other half to her.
When the twins received their Hogwarts letters, Cenek was thrilled, he knew he was going to get one, but being able to get out of the house and away from Chadwick, maybe even make a name for just himself apart from Chadwick. Of course, Chadwick wouldn’t have Cenek being excited for anything. He laughed at Cenek’s enthusiasm, and told him he would never succeed in anything, not even in Hogwarts. Cenek would prove otherwise, he would become somebody, and with that determination... HOGWARTS
SCHOOL YEARS ■ FIRST YEAR Cenek was thrilled. He had been sorted with Brook, and Sparrow wasn't sorted with Chadwick. Of course, he wasn't so happy when classes started and Chadwick of course tried to act like he was Cenek, and kept getting Cenek detentions. He hadn't even done anything wrong! When Cenek tried to tell on Chadwick, Chadwick tried to make him lose his letter, but thankfully Finley, a Ravenclaw friendly, came to save the day and to help Cenek out. At least Finley seemed to be bale to see through Chadwick, and Cenek appreciated that little bit of friendship from the boy. ■ SECOND YEAR His brother died, that was really tragic. Yet somehow, time kept moving on. Chadwick and Sparrow kept dating and breaking up, it was all so monotonous. ■ THIRD YEAR Cenek was done. Chadwick was too cruel to Sparrow, Chadwick claimed he was protecting her, but he was hurting her if anything. But what did it matter, Cenek didn't know anything. ■ FOURTH YEAR Cenek had achieved something not even his sister could do, he was the Quidditch vice captain. He hadn't even started in a game yet, but he had been successful in something. He worked hard in his classes and in quidditch, he would show everyone that he could do this thing, he would be better than Chadwick.

HyperChadwick is known to always be moving in some way and tends to talk a mile a minute. ImpassiveChadwick doesn’t show true emotion, he’ll wave any emotions away, they don’t really matter anyways. Obsessively Loud Chadwick wants to be heard, he will talk over anyone else that is talking, and usually that involves talking at a very loud volume. Manipulative Chadwick knows how to talk to people to make them do things how he wants them done. Whether that be having them change their appearance, or even just getting out of something he was supposed to do. PridefulChadwick used to think of himself better than anyone, he was still proud of his work and the things he did, but he doesn't put those people down anymore. He shares his excellent work with others and brags about it, but will offer a helping hand to those who need it. PoliteWhile he does believe he is better than everyone else, Chadwick realizes there's a point in which he should be polite to others. He will hold doors open for others (if they’re close enough that it’s not inconvenient), and use manners when talking to those older than him.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Chadwick and Cenek Knapp were born the third and fourth children of Alrick and Kadence. They grew up with magic around them, their parents casting charms to keep the house clean, their oldest brother practicing when he was out of school (without a wand of course). When they started showing signs of accidental magic, it was chaos for their mother. They were known to Break random objects (Chadwick) and then repair them (Cenek) before their mom could figure out what that crash was.
As they grew older, Chadwick and Cenek began showing signs of being different. Chadwick was outgoing, brave, and not very nice. He seemed very similar to his older brother, Aldrick. Meanwhile, Cenek was reserved, kind of fearful, and very polite. Chadwick was the twin that shined and took the glory (as much as young children can that is) and would put all the blame on his brother. If Chadwick broke something, Cenek would clean it and take the blame. If Chadwick pushed another kid and hurt them, Cenek would pick them up and help them clean up. Unless you knew which twin was which, one would think that Cenek was the rough, crude with a bad attitude twin, and Chadwick was the one that would be kind to anyone. It was a game to Chadwick, see how much he could ruin his brother's life.
When Brook left to go to Hogwarts, Chadwick realized that Cenek stopped taking the blame for him as often. His cruelty did have a residual effect though, people still assumed Cenek was rude. It was great to watch. Cenek started to bake, and Chadwick couldn’t let his twin be better than him. He would purposely sabotage the food Cenek would make, and Cenek couldn’t figure out why it was dreadful. Chdawick would go behind him and fix the same dish, and it was much better. Chadwick wins again. Then, Chadwick would make something, that wasn’t as good as Cenek’s would have been, but because of the sabotage, it was much better. Once again, Chadwick took the greatness of something away from Cenek.
When they were 7 Chadwick and Cenek met Sparrow while attending a party with their parents. Afterwards, they saw her frequently while spending time with their grandparents. One of Chadwick’s only friends, if you would call her that, was Sparrow. The girl who was always hanging around him when they were together. Clinging onto his every word. The girl had a crush on him, and he knew that. He used that to his advantage. Chadwick would intentionally ignore her at times, play with the other children, until one day he would just come back to her. She would do whatever he wanted, he figured it was because she didn’t want to lose him. She was just a dumb girl, expendable. She always came back to him, and on the case that she wasn’t, Cenek would help ease her pain, and Chadwick would swoop right back into her life.
When the twins received their Hogwarts letters, Chadwick laughed at Cenek’s excitement. Why would leaving this household save Cenek from dealing with Chadwick. Chadwick wasn’t going to let Cenek succeed in anything, and Chadwick would be better than Cenek. Cenek had one weak spot, and Chadwick would gladly use it: Sparrow.With that motivation, and his brother and girl going to Hogwarts with him, Chadwick knew it was going ot be a great time at Hogwarts, for him at least.
SCHOOL YEARS
■ FIRST YEAR How could that hat put Chadwick so far away from his Winchparrow? Never mind that, at least Chadwick was able to become a beater with the Slytherin Quidditch team. He was even able to play in the games, and hit one of the Ravenclaw girls. He often got Cenek in trouble, and occasionally himself, but it was all fine. Sparrow loved him, teachers loved him. There was one problem: Finley. The brat saw through who Chadwick was and who Cenek was. Next year, Chadwick would have to do something about that. ■ SECOND YEAR Dominik was gone. Sure there were other things that happened during his second year, but this was a life changer. He went from bullying Finley to trying to be just a bit nicer. HE still wasn't that kind to Cenek or Sparrow, but they had known him his entire life, they expected it. He worked on building a friendship, and on trying to mend his broken family. ■ THIRD YEAR Chadwick worked on his grades, his school work being a monotonous project. He was in dueling and music club, if only to watch over little Sparrow. He was protective of her, and just wished she could see that. ■ FOURTH YEAR Winchparrow and him were over. How did one end a relationship that had lasted half their lives? She mourned. He mourned. She grew up and looked happier, he watched her go. It was his fault, he deserved her breakup. Somehow, despite that, he was given the leadership of dueling club, he hoped he would do well with the role.

**Note: Hello Profile Reviewer! Chadwick seems really harsh right? Cruel even? You bet. I will put character disclaimers in his harsher posts, but overall the plan is for him to strictly be this cruel to Sparrow and Cenek alone (or anyone who gives permission first. Permission must be given before Chadwick acts like a cruel human to anyone else's character). Everyone else should be witnessing his false, very overachiever attitude that he tricks everyone else into liking him.

xxxPERSONALITY ESFPxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ditzy Dominik is very silly, she giggles often, and doesn’t make sense, sometimes saying not very bright things. She may not know what’s going on, but that’s okay. After the loss of her brother, others called her out on her silliness more, she must be ditzy to believe her brother is dead. Curious Domink wants to know what's happening, even if it is none of her business. She wants to stick her nose into it and see it all. She needs to know what happened to her brother, and why she lost her best friend Flexible Dominik flexes things in her mind to make everything make sense, even if that’s not the way the thing works. Others thing she’s just made herself think that Deepak is alive, she bent her mind to near insanity into her belief. Nervous Growing up with 4 older siblings, 1 same aged sibling, and now younger siblings, Dominik has become nervous. She is pranked often and completely, and with this she constantly wonders when the next prank will be. She worries that one day a prank would go too far, and is constantly checking over her shoulder to count her siblings. Extraverted Dominik goes out of her way to help others. She wants to be nice to anyone she can, because that’s the best way to friendship. She’s also one of the first to speak up when able, and is ready to go get things done. After the loss of her twin, she went further out of her way to be kind to others, she didn’t want anyone to feel left out. Patient Growing up with so many siblings Dominik quickly learned patience. It became second nature to her, always waiting for the others to finish talking or waiting for her turn in something. As she grew up, her patience only matured more, she had to be patient and wait to see what would happen.

DISLIKES ■ swimming ■ religion of any kind ■ lies ■ micromanaging ■ Negativity

WEAKNESSES ■ Food, Dominik likes to eat ■ Deeply Unlucky

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EARLY CHILDHOOD Dominik is the 6th child born of the Knapp family. She is the younger twin to Deepak, her brother. Her earliest memory was tumbling with Rhea, at the age of 2, or was it 3? Either way, it was important to Dominik to remember, because SHE had done the tumble first, Deepak couldn’t handle it. That was a lot of their childhood, learning gymnastics with Rhea. Dominik adored their neighbor, but Rhea left every year when Brook and Aldrick did, so that wasn’t much time spent with her. As she aged, she realized this was because of school, or so they said, she had never actually been able to confirm that they all went to Hogwarts for most of the year, no one could give physical proof that they were there. When she began learning, it was through her mom homeschooling them, spending all day with her brothers was terrible. Why couldn’t Brook stay home with them always? At least then she wasn’t the only girl. All in all, Dominik waited for the day that her and Deepak could join their siblings in a Hogwarts adventure.
Dominik was alone. Her brother was stolen away by an angel, or as her parents liked to say Deepak was dead. Her older siblings were at school. All she was was dumb Erikk, and baby flick. Of course, as she got a few years older, Flick wasn't so bad. Flick wasn't sure if Flick was a girl or boy or both, and Dominik nodded, she could help. Dominik wanted to protect Flick, so at least one sibling would be safe, no other sibling would be taken away if Dominik could help it.
When Dominik got her school letter she was pleased, she hadn’t shown much magic, but Brook had always said that was fine. Dominik would go to Hogwarts and would learn magic, she would find a spell that would help her find her brother, because until she cast a spell that lead her to his dead body, she wouldn’t believe he was gone, no he couldn’t be.

NICKNAMES Flick GENDERGender Fluid FACECLAIMMerit Leighton BIRTHDAY May 2nd, 2048 BLOOD STATUSPureblood SEXUAL ORIENTATION Who Knows WAND
WOOD: HAZEL
A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings. Others should be very careful handling a hazel wand if its owner has recently lost their temper, or suffered a serious disappointment, because the wand will absorb such energy and discharge it unpredictably. The positive aspect of a hazel wand more than makes up for such minor discomforts, however, for it is capable of outstanding magic in the hands of the skillful, and is so devoted to its owner that it often ‘wilts’ (which is to say, it expels all its magic and refuses to perform, often necessitating the extraction of the core and its insertion into another casing, if the wand is still required) at the end of its master’s life (if the core is unicorn hair, however, there is no hope; the wand will almost certainly have ‘died’). Hazel wands also have the unique ability to detect water underground, and will emit silvery, tear-shaped puffs of smoke if passing over concealed springs and wells.
CORE: HIPPOGRIFF FEATHER
Hippogriff Feathers are extremely useful for transfiguration and charms. This type of core is useful for those who are emotional due to the strength and usefulness changing depending on emotion, if a person is angry it will be useful for dueling, if the person is calm it will be effective for healing and charms, etc.

Shorter wands product a more refined and precise magic

xxxPERSONALITY ____xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx HesitantFlick used to love talking to anyone and everyone - but after so many close to them kicking Flick out of their life, or being killed, Flick didn't want to be too close to people. It was safer that way. PerceptiveFlick was good at figuring people out. Why they were sad, why they were happy. They could see more into people's true selves - and studied why they felt that way, what would make them better. MimicFlick likes to act like anyone else around them. Dominik wants to be a circus performer? I will too. Sparrow wants to be dramatic, Flick will mirror the actions. If Flick is around kids their age, they would act more whimsical, around parents, they were more serious. IdealisticFlick began aiming for perfection - if they were perfect, then they wouldn't lose anyone else again. They would tell stories from their imagination, but would shut it down quickly when it suddenly wasn't going as well as it should have. Kind/AgreeableFlick wants everyone to be happy, and has realized at a young age, that by agreeing with them, they are happier and nicer. Flick wanted to be helpful when they could, to not be a burden. NoncompetitiveWhere so many of Flicks blood siblings were competitive, Flick didn't have that - Flick grew up in a smaller family with the Winchesters and grew strong in patience. There was no worry of getting the best piece of cake, everyone was equal. Flick would try to make everything equal, rather than one is superior.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EARLY CHILDHOOD Flick was born with 7 older siblings, but before she had turned a year old, only had 6. Her entire memory she had known of this mysterious 7th sibling, and heard Dominik speaking of him, but never did she see him. Flick’s earlier memory was Mama pulling Flick to the side and telling her that Deepak, the mysterious 7th child, was gone and was never coming back, no matter how many times Dominik said so.
[Fall 2051] Mama Knapp said Flick was a girl, made her dress up in clothes that were pink all the time. Sometimes though Flick didn’t like that. Flick knew the difference between boys and girls, how they acted, what they liked, who they were. And sometimes, Flick felt like she was actually a boy. Flick was confused about this, why was it that in the first years of her life, everyone said she was a girl, but sometimes Flick just felt more like one of her brothers? Flick nodded to herself, yes Flick was a boy. He ran over to his Mama and pulled her shirt. When he told his mom that he was a boy, not a girl, mama got very mad and upset with him. She sent Flick to their room, and wouldn’t give him any dinner. Flick cried, what had he done wrong? He was a boy, and the boys got dinner too, it wasn’t just girls who got dinner. The next day, Flick put on a skirt and did up her hair, yes today she was a girl, that’s what she was. Mama seemed happier about this, not as angry. However, days later, Flick knew he was a boy again, just like he knew if something was hot or cold, if his eyes were open or closed. Yet again, when he went to tell him mom, this time with Dominik in the room, his mom flipped out, and sent Flick to his room.
Dominik followed shortly after and hugged Flick, Dominik was nice. Dominik said she would protect Flick, no matter if Flick was her brother or her sister, and for Flick to just be themself. Flick liked this, and after that day Flick no longer told their mom about if they were a girl or a boy. They whispered it to Dominik whenever they felt different, and Dominik smiled and continued on with her life.
[Summer 2052] Dominik was trying to hide the fact that Flick felt like a girl sometimes or like a boy sometimes. Dominik didn’t actually care about Flick, Dominik just had plans on hiding Flick. This, amde Flick angry. He wanted to be able to say what he wanted. He said mean things to Dominik, Dominik took it. But, that guy that Chadwick had over, that guy was nice. Once that guy left Chadwick sat down with Flick and asked if he was transgender. Flick was confused, as Chadwick explained. When Flick said no silly, sometimes I’m a girl. Chadwick hugged Flick, and with a reassuring hug said “that my brother is called gender fluid, and that’s okay too.” Maybe… not everyone was against Flick’s world.
[Summer 2053] Flick wasn't sure what happened, but suddenly Chadwick wasn't at home very much. He got in a fight with Mama, and she made him leave. Flick kept waiting for him to come back but he didn't. Mama didn't like Flick very much and kept forcing them into dresses - even when Flick didn't feel like wearing dresses.
One day - Flick ran away while they were at their grandparents house. They ran and never came back. Thankfully, the Winchesters found Flick. They found Daddy - who seemed to make an arrangement for Flick to live with the Winchesters.
[December 2054] It was supposed to be a party. A Party with cake. Somehow it turned into an earthquake, fire, destruction. Flick didn't understand what was happening, everything happened so quickly. Suddenly they were outside with Robin. Flick didn't say anything - they were in shock. Flick was dragged around by Robin - yes this was good. Robin would keep Flick safe, Robin was all knowing. They found an older boy, who helped get them over to the Sidddall estate, yes - Uncle Nim would be able to help them. Flick didn't realize it - but there were tears falling down their face. Why was everything that was so nice destroyed?
The hodgepodge family moved in with Uncle Nim.
[2055] They moved backk to the Winchester Estate - Wren fixed it and Flick had their own room again - but Flick hated staying alone and took any chance they could to spend the night in Robin's room, or if Robin was in School, they'd sleep with Aella, or Sparrow - if Sparrow wasn't too sad.
In September though - Flick went to see Uncle Finley and Roxie but met a new friend Jules. The three of them were going to be BEST friends - Flick just knew it.
[2056] Big Sis Sparrow left for a while, after Uncle Wren went into her room and then yelled something about going to the Hospital. Flick was sad that Sparrow wasn't around again - it was sad while Sparrow was in school, but now that Sparrow was free from school Flick had hoped to spend more time with her, but maybe Flick just made Sparrow sad too, maybe Sparrow would disown Flick like her mama had.
[2058] Ambrose was adopted - Flick had a new friend. Ambrose was smaller than Flick - but only by 3 years. Flick swore to be a good influence for Ambrose.
[2059] Flick received their Hogwarts letter - and it was addressed to Flick Knapp. Flick frowned - no they didn't like that at all.
Flick went to Wren and Nim and handed them the letter - proclaiming not wanting to see their Dad, Aldrick, Erikk, AND Dominik every day, desperately wanting to go anywhere else. Hogwarts was the best though. Roxie and Juliette would be at Hogwarts. After the "Yes you're going to go to Hogwarts" discussion - which was actually very fair - Flick left, and came back a few minutes later.
"I want to be Flick Winchester if I'm going to Hogwarts."

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EARLY CHILDHOOD [2050: Where’s daddy?] Zack had only had Kandace, his mother, when growing up. He didn’t have a father. It was a little bit lonely. When Zack asked about his dad, he was told that his dad went on a business trip traveling the world and was injured in an accident and didn’t make it home. Zack accepted that story - why would his mom lie.
[insert 3 kids being born] Zack didn’t like when his mom had sleepovers. She was always loud. Too many times she ended up with another baby in her belly - zack wasn’t an only child anymore. He loved his siblings, but it would be great to get some time with just him and his mom.
[2053: Fires are fine] Zack might have accidentally set his bedroom on fire - he hadn’t meant to, but somehow it just..happened. The family had to move, him and his siblings. Unfortunately, when they moved Mom found a new friend. They lived together for a while, but then eventually it happened again, mom had another kid. (And Zack did not stop playing with fire)
[Summer 2056: Hogwarts] Zack was not surprised when he received his Hogwarts letter. He was rather excited, his mom had told him all sorts of stories about her time at Hogwarts, plus he had cousins there, and an uncle! He hadn’t seen any family besides his siblings and his mom, his Mom said it was because she had a falling out with her family. He wasn’t sure why they wouldn’t get along - but he was excited to meet his family - he was sure they’d be thrilled to have another relative like he was!

xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
RAMBUNCTIOUS Loud and proud, Elizabeth was always a bit of a wild child. She loves to sing, loves to dance, loves to cause a ruckus wherever she can. Lizzie is typically in a good mood and more than anything just wants to have a fun time, however her rowdy personality can make her tactless and confrontational. It's not that she means to be, but sometimes she just can't help it. She is quick to shrug these moments off right after though, as she would rather spend her time enjoying herself with other people than fighting it out.
LEADER Although lazy at times, Lizzie is someone who knows how to get things done when she puts her mind to it. Her boisterous nature makes her a people person at heart, and she loves nothing more than to build people up and keep the excitement going. She wants to motivate, and she wants to help others to make a difference in the world.
ETHICAL Being the daughter of an auror, Elizabeth understandably has a strong sense of justice and can be unwavering in her views of the world. She knows the difference between good and evil, but also fully comprehends that nothing is black and white. Sometimes good people do bad things, sometimes bad people do something kind. Sometimes, regardless of morality, someone may have to break the rules in order to do something they believe is truly right. Lizzie supposes if everyone stayed within the walls of rules and regulations, no progress in the world would have ever been made--everything would still be under the control of empires, rather than individual countries. That said, there is a time and place for everything; and even if someone does something awful, she is willing to give them a second chance to prove themselves.
CLOSED-OFF Strong emotions have never been Lizzie’s forte, especially since the loss of her father. She’s not at all bothered by confrontation, but when things get real and require her sympathies and empathy, that’s where she begins to fizzle out. She tries to be there for her friends and family, and sometimes she succeeds, but these sorts of situations are incredibly uncomfortable for her. She’s harder on herself, bottling up anything negative until the brink of bursting, and getting her to open up and express her true feelings can be a difficult challenge. That said, this can also work to her advantage—if she’s ever in a dire situation, she can easily keep her emotions from clouding her judgment in order to assess what needs to be done. Still, as a mother she recognizes this can be a problem and is doing her best to be better for her children.
CREATIVE The passions of Elizabeth Spektor lie primarily in the arts. Painting, theatre, music… It’s all precious to her, and it’s through these subjects that she is actually able to express how she feels. Making anything, whether it's a piece of art, or a song, or bringing a smile to someone's face, these are the things she would gladly spend all of her time immersed in. The arts are therapeutic and they keep her mind active; thanks to this, she can apply her imagination to real-life situations and problems, for better or worse.
SARDONIC Part of the way Lizzie copes with her emotions is through humor, more often than not in the form of sarcastic remarks and dry wit. Although she tries to stay positive in the face of others and will claim to be a realist, she has a cynical streak since parting ways with her father that’s hard to break and has a tendency to come through rather bitter in tone at times even in the middle of a perfectly normal conversation. She doesn’t mean it personally, usually, but occasionally things just slip out—especially when some snot-nosed kid next to her is complaining about how their mum is “so unfair and the worst” and needs a swift lesson in appreciation.
LIKES ■ Painting, particularly on a living canvas. ■ Quality time with her friends and family. ■ Going toe-to-toe with August in a game of Wizard's Chess. ■ Cinnamon-flavored everything. ■ Swing & Jazz Music ■ Putting her investigative skills to the test.
DISLIKES ■ When work takes away from time with her husband. ■ Certain dynamics within her family (specifically revolving around her mother-in-law) that she has no idea how to try and mend. ■ Sodas. They upset her stomach, plus leave a nasty aftertaste. ■ When the boys leave her paints open and they dry out. ■ That there's just no winning. She feels like a bad mother for not being around her kids all the time, but also that she isn't doing enough trying to find Celestina, or that there's more she should be doing as an auror, a friend, and a wife. No matter what she does it's just not enough.
DESIRES ■ To bring justice to Celestina Hyurr. ■ To retire as an auror and focus on her painting and her children.
FEARS ■ Heights ■ To lose anyone else in her family
xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Lizzie never got to know her mother, Isla, beyond the stories she heard growing up from her father, Liam. They met in Hogwarts, she was a Hufflepuff and he a Slytherin, they fell in love, got married, decided to have a baby and have their happy ending… Except Isla died in childbirth, leaving Liam to pick up the pieces and raise their daughter alone.
Luckily, Liam still had family to lean on, and he moved himself from Hogsmeade to Stirling where his mother and father had offered to help him with his little girl. Evie and Louie were the best grandparents Lizzie could ask for. Since Liam was usually out, working long hours as an auror, she would often sit with her Grandad who told her all sorts of stories about wizards and magic, while Gran was always there to play games and stuff her full of treats. Still, despite the love and support from her family, Lizzie often found herself wanting for her mother, who she only ever got to know through pictures and the opinions of others. When she would get lonely, her father would tell her how much she was loved by both of them, and how they both only ever wanted to see her happy.
Liam was the greatest person in Lizzie’s life. Sure, he wasn’t around as much as she would have liked, but he always made up for it when he was around. They were two peas in pod, the best of friends, and they always had the grandest of times together. He would teach her about the violin and music, and Lizzie would encourage her father to join her and Grandad for arts and crafts. She always loved his pictures, despite the fact they were horrible and the man could hardly even draw a stick man. She never complained when her father had to leave her—she knew he helped people, and that was important, and because of that he was her hero.
Unfortunately, one day Liam just didn’t come home.
The Spektors still don’t know what happened. He was supposed to only be gone for a week or so. Lizzie knew he was part of an investigation in Dublin, but the details were understandably scarce and her family was unable to gain any useful information from the other aurors. He was soon declared to be missing. Evie and Louie had thought something awful might have happened, but Lizzie was confident that nothing bad could ever happen to her father… If Liam didn’t come back, it’s because he didn’t want to anymore. To her, this was a case of abandonment, and once the conclusion was drawn no one was able to sway her. At only eight years old she found herself without her parents.
Things were different for Lizzie after that, much to her grandparents’ concern. She still acted normal, still happy-go-lucky and eager to goof around, but those that were close to her could see that it was a fabrication to keep others off her back. Her violin had gone from light and playful to violently erratic, and while she was excellent at playing still she eventually just stopped all-together and tossed her instrument into the trash, only for Evie to save. She no longer wanted the reminder of her father. She had begun to close herself off to friends and family, and as far as Evie could tell, the girl never truly grieved the loss. Since she would no longer verbally express herself and tossed her previous outlet, Louie encouraged that she pursue the arts more seriously to vent her frustrations. He took her to his garage, his old painting studio where he let her have free reign, and the rest was history. She was okay for a time, but then the day came that her grandfather eventually passed on. Why did everyone she love leave her? All she had left in the world was Evie… Would she leave her soon, too? What happened then?
As expected of any young witch, the day came where Lizzie received her Hogwarts acceptance letter. Although she was sad to leave her Gran, they both knew she needed the time away from home to process, to be her own person and find her own way to cope… It was time to move on. Evie insisted that she would make lifelong friends in Hogwarts, but Lizzie wasn’t much interested in all of that. Why befriend people who are just going to disappear on her? She supposed for Evie’s sake she could fake it… After all, Elizabeth had bigger fish to fry than playing nice with a bunch of other kids. Despite her anger towards her father, she still wanted to uncover the mystery behind him leaving the way he did. Her grandparents would never talk about it, but now that she was on her own, maybe she’d learn one day.
SCHOOL YEARS
■ FIRST YEAR Lizzie's first year went by with nothing special to note in her book. She was surprised to be sorted into Gryffindor and was quick to make friends with Aldrick Knapp and August Li, two boys in her year she had met on the train the very first day. She did well enough in her classes and spent much of her free time hiding out in the art room painting. She did not join any clubs in her first year, although she is considering her options for the next school year. She was also dragged to an "exploration party" between first and second year students by Jonah Lane, a second year she had also met on her first day who she enjoys bickering with. Her favorite part was the snowball fight and getting to nickname Christopher.
■ SECOND YEAR Started with a bang. Lizzie's new kitten, Binx, had managed to escape during the Sorting Feast, resulting in Lizzie's trip crawling underneath the Slytherin Table. During her hunt she'd pranked August by kicking at the person across from him--leading to them thinking August was a rude little lad--and checking out a couple older girls' panties that just... Happened to be within her view. It wasn't their fault: they didn't expect someone to be under the table; it wasn't her fault: she didn't expect to be there either. It was what it was, but Liz was especially offended by a fifth year's emoji underwear. Luckily, she managed to get Binx back in her custody without much more trouble.
She finally found the elusive Art Club, and somehow managed to get kidnapped to the Music Club by Sonora Li with clever planning from August. Elizabeth vowed revenge, but never found the right opportunity for the rest of the year.
■ THIRD YEAR The last thing Elizabeth expected out of her third year was to end up playing mother hen to a batch of first year girls, yet she found herself actually enjoying the role. She continued on in her usual clubs, working diligently on her art and picking up her violin for the first time in years in Music Club. She eventually decided to spring for something new and took it upon herself to begin learning the saxophone in hopes of becoming Hogwarts’ Queen of Jazz. Briefly, observing all of the couples appearing at school, she considered getting her first kiss out of the way so she wouldn’t have to worry about it later. She considered most of her friends for the role of target and in the end settled on Rickie, but of course, nothing came of it. When it came to written assignments in class she didn’t put in as much effort as she could have, but fortunately she had Auggie and Rickie to make sure she kept her head above water.
■ FOURTH YEAR Lizzie befriended a quiet little first year by the name of Nimbus Siddall. Or at least, he seemed quiet at first. Turned out he was quite an angry little thing having some sort of feud with Auggie's cousin. Lizzie liked his vibe, and soon enough, she and Rhea had both taken him in as a mentee of sorts.
It was all she could do to keep her mind of things. Aldrick recently started dating Jessalyn Prescott, which was fine. Lizzie liked Jess. She was a nice girl. But why did it have to be her? Jealousy was an ugly color on Lizzie. It was better just to ignore it. Aldrick was happy, whoop-de-doo. Did he have to take leadership of Art Club, too?
Winter break, the worst happened. Lizzie had only been out in the garage for an hour at most. When she came inside she saw the blood staining the kitchen tiles dripping from her Gram's forehead. She was splayed out on the floor, the landline ringing off the hook as it dangled from the wall. She must have slipped when she went to answer the phone. Suddenly Lizzie had no one.
The next days were hard. Gram was buried and Lizzie didn't know what was next for her. She overheard the neighbors talking to Rhea's mother. They were nice enough to check in on her the last few days, but Lizzie wouldn't stay there by herself. But if she left, how would her dad ever find her? Surely he'd be home soon. He had to be. His mother just died!
He didn't come, and Lizzie went to stay with the Lanes at their home in Godric's Hollow. At least she was close to friends. Rhea was there, and Rickie and her girls were all right next door. By the end of the break, Lizzie was sure her father wouldn't be back for her. She convinced Aldrick and August to go with her to grab a few sentimental items from her old house, then burned it to the ground. It was time for a new chapter: No more waiting on Liam Spektor. Lizzie was going to find him, she was going to deck him in the mouth, and then she was going to move on with her life. She had a new family now.
■ FIFTH YEAR With the Lanes spending half the Summer at their dad's, Lizzie and Delia had time to bond. Lizzie loved the woman like she were her own mother, and Della was even kind enough to ask if Lizzie wanted to be adopted into their family. It was a generous offer, but she couldn't part with the Spektor name. She wanted to maintain the connection with her grandparents. Still, it was nice to have a new family, and to experience what it was like to have proper siblings. Lizzie hoped she would have a big family when she grew up.
That Winter, Lizzie dragged August to Dublin after finding a lead in one of Liam's old journals. She thought she would punch him, yet when she finally saw her father again, all she could do was throw herself into his arms and cry. She missed him so much. As it turned out, Liam had been on a case working undercover for all these years. She spent every spare second with him that was allowed during that break. On her final visit before returning to school, Liam told her he may have found a lead in his case and that it may finally be over soon. He asked if once it was over, if Lizzie would move in with him again, and they could be a family. Lizzie tearfully agreed. The two promised to exchange correspondence via owl while she was at school.
Lizzie didn't study for O.W.L.s like she should have--at least not to the extent of August and Rickie, who seemed to be competing. She did just well enough in all her classes to proceed to the N.E.W.T. level. During her final week of school, her head was a little in the clouds. She hadn't received a letter from Liam in two weeks. Was everything okay?
■ SIXTH YEAR Everything was not okay. Over the Summer, Lizzie returned to Dublin and received news that Liam Spektor was killed in the line of duty. She was completely and utterly devastated, hiding away in her room and refusing to talk for a solid week. Her only comfort lied in the journals Liam's auror partner had given her, which gave further details into his latest case and even gave her the prime suspect in his murder: Celestina Hyurr. When Lizzie finally came out, she was dead set on a new mission: She would become an auror, she would find Celestina, and she would avenge Liam Spektor.
Ugh, she was going to have to study so hard.
Things mostly went back to normal after returning to Hogwarts. Aldrick seemed dead set on teasing Lizzie, coming up with new ridiculous ways to ask her on a date on the daily. He must have tried everything except actually asking her! August and Rhea were getting deep into their game of Will They or Won't They. Lizzie tried to lock them in a shed to force them to talk out their feelings, but that completely backfired. Why did Auggie have to be so emotionally constipated?
By the end of the year everything worked itself out. Aldrick and Lizzie were officially dating, and so were Auggie and Rhea. It was about time for things to start looking up.
■ SEVENTH YEAR What a mess of a year. Deepak was dead. Brook and Rhea seemed to be in a feud. Aldrick was grieving. Lizzie spent most of her time trying to cheer up her friends, and when she wasn't, she was hitting the books. She needed high marks on her N.E.W.T.s if she wanted to be an auror. December 19, fresh into Winter break, Aldrick and Lizzie celebrated their anniversary. Then they snuck into Lizzie's room from the window and celebrated some more.
It seemed like Lizzie was the very last one to find out that she was pregnant. She hadn't the slightest clue! Sure she had been a little sick, and moodier, and she was craving potato chip icecream like nothing else, but... It may not have been planned, and her path forward was going to be harder, but Lizzie was happy. Aldrick seemed like he was, too. The two later got engaged. She made it through N.E.W.T.s, and after that, all that was left was to graduate and start their family.
POST-GRADUATIONLiam and Lark were born on September 12 without difficulty, much to Lizzie's relief. Considering birth was how she lost her mother, she was thankful Aldrick and her children wouldn't have to go through the same. They built their home on the old Spektor property in Sterling and settled into their lives juggling family and careers. Once Lizzie completed her auror training, she and Aidene dived full force into the hunt for Celestina.
A couple years later Lizzie discovered she was expecting again. She and Aldrick agreed to finally get married in time for Lizzie to still fit into her dress. Not long after they welcomed Margaret into the world. A few short months after, much to their surprise, Elizabeth was pregnant yet again; and here she thought she was done. Months later came their second daughter, Nina. Well, now they would be needing tie-breaker in the house. A fifth child was inevitable, but Lizzie hoped to wait a few years so she could recover physically and focus on her case.
A few years passed and Aldrick was offered a job as a professor at Hogwarts. Lizzie couldn't have been prouder for him. He left his job as a cursebreaker a couple months in advance to have more time with the family before he started his new career. During this time, Lizzie became pregnant again. Sadly, this one didn't take. It would still be a while longer before their family would be complete. In the meantime, Lizzie had work to do.

xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TIRELESS Good luck getting Liam to take his nap. This little boy is a bundle of pure energy and never seems to tucker out. He always has to be doing something–sitting still is out of the question! It’s just not doable. All Liam wants in life is to run and play, so he dreads time-outs more than the Boogeyman.
JINX Hopelessly clumsy with an unlucky streak, Liam’s first few years have been eventful to say the least. Coin tosses never end in his favor. Binx is always crossing his path. He’s always tripping and scraping his knees. He runs into things. His depth perception is awful, so he often gets hit in the face when playing catch. Sometimes Lizzie wonders if the kid needs a leash and a helmet.
FEARLESS Nothing’s too scary for a hero! Liam isn’t going to let a little spider or lightning ruin his time. When his little siblings are afraid, Liam(along with Lark, of course) is the first to jump to their aid. He’ll scare all the bad guys away, because that’s what heroes are supposed to do, and that’s the kind of person Liam wants to grow up to be.
BULLY It’s all in good fun. Teasing your little siblings is what a big brother is supposed to do, right? It doesn’t mean he loves them any less. Sometimes they just make it too easy to pick on. He can’t help it, especially when it comes to Peggy(AKA: Miss Piggy). She’s just so funny when she’s mad! When push comes to shove though, he’s always there for them.
UNFILTERED Liam’s just a kid. He doesn’t really get the whole “there’s a time and place” and “think before you speak” thing, no matter how much Mum and Dad get on him about it. If he has something to say, he says it. If he wants to do something, he does it. Sometimes he gets in trouble for it, or someone gets mad. He doesn’t understand why.
FRIENDLY It’s fun to meet new people! Liam might not be as chatty as Lark, but he likes to make friends. The more the merrier! He likes to cheer people up, and to see them smile, though sometimes he’s pretty awful at it. He might not be the best at words, but he does his best with his actions.
LIKES ■ Teasing his siblings ■ Playing Pirates and Superheroes ■ Character ice cream (think like the Spiderman ice cream bars from the ice cream truck) ■ Swimming in the lake by their house ■ Saturday morning cartoons
DISLIKES ■ Coin tosses. Dice games. If it’s based on luck, he usually loses. ■ Mum’s gross lovey-dovey movies. ■ Radishes ■ Green beans ■ Bath time
STRENGTHS ■ Hard-headed. Literally. He’d have to be, as many times as he’d banged his head. ■ Can kick a ball reeeaaally far.
WEAKNESSES ■ Generally clumsy ■ Sometimes puts his foot in his mouth
DESIRES ■ To be a Hero
FEARS ■ To be a Bad Guy
xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Liam was a surprise. His younger twin Lark, even more so. The twins were born to Aldrick Knapp and Elizabeth Spektor, Gryffindor sweethearts, fresh out of graduation. Despite finding out about the twins in the middle of their final year at Hogwarts, Aldrick and Lizzie welcomed the change to their lives and loved their boys fiercely. They built a home on the old Spektor property outside of Sterling, Scotland to raise their family. Liam loved his home and he loved his parents, but most of all he loved his brother Lark. Their parents wed when Liam was 2, and soon after their little sister Margaret was born. Almost immediately after, Lizzie was expecting again! Another baby sister named Nina. Suddenly it felt like their home was getting as lively as Grandma’s house–not that Liam was complaining.

xxx🗯PERSONALITY💥xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DECISIVELark isn’t recklessly rash, but he doesn’t like spending time thinking about things over and over. He’s quick, decisive, and a little impatient. It doesn’t mean his mind can’t be changed-- on the contrary, he’ll easily change his mind if his twin or parents give him cause to, but once changed, he follows his new decision without waffling back and forth. Lark always wants to be doing something, whatever he’s decided.
SPONTANEOUSLark’s curiosity is easily piqued, and once hooked, he likes to go do something about it, whatever that is. While playing games or reading superhero comics is usually a good guess, no one really knows what Lark is thinking up next. Lark is here to save the world, one cause at a time, although what cause isn’t always clear until he has the posters ready.
NOBLELark and his twin brother, Liam, have a strong innate sense and interest in justice and what is right and good. If he does something wrong, he’ll turn himself in to his Mum and accept whatever punishment he’s given. And if Liam is in trouble, Lark will take the punishment with him– they’re a team after all! Even when he teases his siblings he does so in good fun. They can hurt him, but he’ll always pull back. He and Liam have to protect the younger kids. Lark describes him and Liam as “Chaotic Lawful Good--never what you expect, but always legal, always good, and always heroic”.
CHARMINGLark the Flirt has no idea what flirting is yet, but you can be sure he will be as smooth and charming as he can. Even young Lark has mastered the art of the pleading puppy-dog face. He weaves flattery naturally, and complimentary things just seem to fall out of his mouth. He has a natural instinct to include people and likes to make sure people feel included, heard, and valued, even if it’s just a sly wink that makes them think they’re in on some secret.
COMPETITIVELark loves a good fair competition. He loves winning but isn’t a sore loser (assuming he thinks things were fair), and believes there’s nothing a good shounen style fight can’t solve.
🗯💥HOBBIES ■ Reading or Drawing comics ■ Saving the world, one poster, one cause at a time ■ Playing drums or guitar
🗯LIKES ■ Cartoons, comics, manga, and anime. ■ Music– everything needs a soundtrack to life! ■ Animals– especially ones that need his help ■ Makeup– especially the lipstick! ■ Ice cream
💥DISLIKES ■ Moral gray anything ■ Feeling left out or leaving someone out ■ Philosophy– everyone is always so serious and it’s all so abstract ■ Waiting ■ Radishes, olives, green beans
🗯STRENGTHS ■ Charming– a natural flirt, Lark seems to get along with everyone at first. ■ Dauntless– Nothing tangible scares Lark. Even if he were scared though, he’d plow ahead anyways. He has to, to protect the world!
💥WEAKNESSES ■ Commitment– Lark will flirt with any idea or cause and give his undivided all while there, but before long he always sidesteps a heavier role or commitment. ■ Gullible– Lark isn’t stupid, but he trusts in the best of people more than he thinks things through sometimes, and he’s easily swayed towards people’s plights.
🗯DREAMS ■ Saving the World! ■ Lark loves the idea of a romance and forever soulmate. A shoujo arc in his shounen story.
💥FEARS ■ Anything separating him and Liam ■ Failing– Superheroes don’t fail, they just get setbacks in the middle of the issue and get back up and beat the villain in the end. If he puts everything on the line and loses….what happens then?
xxx🗯BACKSTORY💥xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 🗯💥EARLY CHILDHOOD Liam and Lark, bursting onto the scene, can I get a Whoo-Whoop?!
Liam and Lark were a surprise–albeit a welcome one–to Aldrick Knapp and Elizabeth Spektor, new grads and sweethearts. They built a home on the old Spektor property outside of Sterling, Scotland. Their parents were married when the twins were 2, and 2 more siblings followed soon after–and Mum promised a 5th sometime!
As children Liam and Lark– or as Lark deemed their duo “Llamark” enjoyed playing superheroes with their parents’ friends’ children, many of whom were younger. If just hanging around at home though, Llamark can often be found making a mess or making a racket–err, painting posters or playing instruments.

Yak is open and tolerant of people and perspectives and ways of doing things, and adapts pretty well to whatever happens. The world is a big place, yo. There’s room for everyone. Just roll with the waves and keep swimming.
RESPONSIBLE Yak doesn’t shy from responsibility or the limelight, but he doesn’t search for it either–unless it’s a chance to play for an audience. He follows orders or examples well– ever since Zack started at Hogwarts, Yak has tried to follow Zack’s example and be available to his siblings as The Older Brother and the Man of the House. As the squib of the family he’s home with Mum most often and considers it only natural he take on most of the housework compared to his siblings.
COMMITTEDYak has seen his mum with many folks over the years, and he knows his own father was just one of the names. People are flakey, and relationships fail. But because of this he also knows what commitment really looks like– He knows his mum will always be there for them, and he knows he always has his siblings. Especially after his siblings started going to Hogwarts, he’s recognized that they might not be there physically, but Yak can always be there emotionally via letter or call, and he’ll always be responsive. When he says he’s going to do something, he means it. Despite his cavalier attitude, Yak is a man of his word.
INSTINCTIVEYak is the more deceptively decisive of the twins. Deceptively decisive, because if he can’t decide, he’ll just roll a dice. He struggles with deep moral and emotional things, but at the end of the day, Yak can make a snap decision and live with it. He’s a good listener and empathetic ear, quick to understand what someone wants in a situation and communicating his and Yarrick’s plan. He struggles more with emotional things, wanting always to do the best for everyone. After all, Yak and Yarrick are the Dream Team– it’s not as simple as Yarrick’s the brains and Yak’s the face, but it also isn’t so complicated as to get worked up about. Whatever it is, they can handle it together.
IDEALISTIC Despite his cynicism at being a squib, Yak wants to believe in love and beauty and all these ideals of karmic justice. He’s a romantic at heart, and sees the world as a battle of ideals as much as it is a battle of messy human flaws. As closed off and down as he might get, Yak wants to believe, and he’d rather believe in goodness and get hurt than just assume people will be evil.
⍟🛡HOBBIES ■ Learning (and practicing) new instruments ■ Writing music ■ Running and hiking (→ Working out)
⍟LIKES ■ Most music– he switches it up every few months, but is pretty consistently an indie rock guy with some pop and folk mixed in. ■ Background noise. The gentle white noise of people working or chattering is very soothing, and very common at home. ■ Juice (and eventually alcoholic cocktails) ■ Roleplaying or storytelling where he can experience a story and try to dabble in different things ■ Escape rooms and puzzles, collaborative games.
🛡DISLIKES ■ Computers and electronics in general– some things are needed for sounds and music, but Yak kind of struggles with electronics and prefers magical means that he can manage when possible. ■ Muggle school–it has always felt so distant and weird and having to stay there instead of going to Hogwarts is adding insult to injury. Also homework is stupid. ■ People who preach good values with hurtful rhetoric ■ Light pollution is a special form of evil ■ Mushrooms
⍟STRENGTHS ■ Jack of All Trades, Master of Some– Yak picks things up quickly and is also building himself up to be particularly knowledgeable about music and fitness. ■ Reliable– Yak is responsible and straightforward, so if he says he can do it, he’s usually right.
🛡WEAKNESSES ■ Yak has a serious complex around being a squib and feels incompetent and disrespected no matter the comforts and reassurances. ■ Obsequious– Yak wants to be considerate and tries to be as diplomatic as possible, but sometimes he just bums himself out trying to make everyone happy while not being able to actually do what they (or he) wants.
⍟DREAMS ■ Make it big with a band with Yarrick. ■ Being in love. He hasn’t fallen in love yet, but he wonders what it’s like to love someone with complete and utter devotion. No flings, no drama. Just them. Yarrick is his twin and partner in life, but romantic, consummate love is something different.
🛡FEARS ■ Losing his ability to move or hear. ■ Yarrick and him not understanding each other. The twins have always had some kind of psychic understanding—it’s why no one ever questioned their magical natures. But since learning he’s a squib, Yak fears it was all in his head and he’ll lose that closeness with Yarrick.
xxx⍟BACKSTORY🛡xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ⍟🛡EARLY CHILDHOOD Yak Adraghserestine Knapp knows precious little about his father, aside from knowing that it was the same man as who fathered his twin, Yarrick, and a different man than who fathered any of his other siblings. Other than his mother, Yak looked up to Zack and listened to him. (Plus Zack was fun!)
When Yak was 6, Zack set fire to his room and the family had to move. Yak was a bit disappointed because he had been enjoying first grade, but since everyone was safe, it wasn’t worth getting upset about. One of the moving days, Yak started tap ping along on boxes while they were moving and it made little Xenobiologick and Wolfrik laugh. Yarrick blew into a cardboard tube, Yak kept going, and by the time their mum got back, the kids were having a whole concert out of makeshift equipment. While Yak and Yarrick loved music anyways, this was the start of makeshift concerts on the weekend and the twins’ dream of making it big as a band.
Not receiving his Hogwarts letter was a devastating blow. While initially the twins simply assumed there had been an owl mishap, they realized the truth of the matter as the summer grew on.

xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
WITTY Erikk is a clever boy with a silver tongue. He’s good at reading people, and driving a conversation where he wants it to go. Also known to be a bit of a smart aleck, Erikk always has something to say and will not hesitate to let his opinions be known with a snide remark or two.
ESCAPIST Erikk prefers not to get involved in the day-to-day squabbling at home. Instead he keeps to the tree in the back yard where he can get some peace and quiet, and maybe escape to another world in a good book. Sometimes he just needs to get away from reality for a little while.
WATCHFUL Just because Erikk likes to get away doesn't mean he's not paying attention. As he's grown, Erikk has always kept a watchful eye on his older siblings. He's seen it all--the good and the dreadful--and has come to his own conclusions on their messy family. While he loves them all, he doesn't always agree with their decisions, and is using what he's learned to help guide his little brothers and sisters coming after him. His biggest regret is not being able to do anything to help Flick. He won't let the same thing happen to his younger siblings; not if he has anything to say about it.
PERCEPTIVE All that scouting from the trees has given Erikk a keen eye for detail, though he's mostly limited to what he knows intimately. He'll notice if the smallest thing is out of place in his room, or the slight bite in his sibling's tone when they're feeling tense, but he's not perfect. After seeing Chadwick daily and then suddenly not at all when he was kicked from the house, Erikk’s had no idea it's been Chadwick and not Cenek occasionally coming to visit. He just couldn't have expected it, and therefore never questions why Cenek has been hanging around so much despite moving out. Still, Erikk likes to think he's got a firm handle about the going-ons at home, and even more-so the simpler things like catching a glaring typo in the book he's been reading.
SKEPTIC Don’t bother buttering him up with kind words and sweet promises–Erikk will have none of it. At this point in life, he’s learned it’s best not to take anyone at their word. You can say you’re going to be around, you can say you’re going to do better, but then turn around and spend ¾ of the year away from home anyway. Words are meaningless. It’s actions that speak volumes. In that sense the motto, “I’ll believe it when I see it” carries on in all aspects of his life. Aliens? Fake. There’s just no way; Earth would have had clear contact by now. As good as hackers are these days, if they were here, there’s just no way it wouldn’t be common knowledge. Global Warming? It’s everywhere. It’s horrible. Maybe if humans stopped killing the rainforests, it wouldn’t be such an issue. Ghosts? Well, everyone says they’re real, but Erikk’s certainly never seen one. He can’t exactly take his siblings’ or their friends’ word for it, what if it’s just hazing for the younger kids? The jury’s out on that one until he gets to the Sorting Feast–Oh. Oh. Okay. Yeah, that sure was a ghost floating over the tables. Ghosts are real. Honestly, he was really hoping that it was just hazing. No thanks.
ENVIRONMENTALIST Say it with him, everyone: Humans (clap) do (clap) not (clap) rule (clap) the (clap) Earth! (clap) This is all of our planet. It belongs to every living creature just as much as it does any one person. If you want to get technical, there’s more insects than there are humans. If anything, Earth belongs to the bugs. With that said, there’s nothing that irks Erikk quite like people’s indifference to steadily destroying their own planet. Surviving is one thing, but tearing down whole forests in excess, and not even bothering to replant? It’s straight madness. So, Erikk has taken it upon himself to help the planet heal from its abusers in any way that he can–most notably, he likes to bury pine cones and acorns anywhere he sees that could use a little extra greenery.
LIKES ❧ Books with worldbuilding - Erikk likes the escape into another world. ❧ Fire. Sure, it can be scary (like when it burns your big brother to an unrecognizable crisp) but through fire, new life springs up from the ashes. Oh, and you can make smores. ❧ Tree climbing. Look at that view! ❧ Roasted brussels sprouts ❧ Treacle Tarts
DISLIKES ❧ When bugs are all over the tree he’s climbing. It’s really annoying to climb over them without squishing them. Sometimes it can’t be helped. ❧ Screaming children. Bro, it’s just not that serious. ❧ The taste of blood– Aidene gave him some once. No thanks. He’d rather not be stuck to that for the rest of his existence. He’d rather eat boiled brussel sprouts than drink blood. Eugh! ❧ Boiled brussels sprouts ❧ Cowards: Good intentions and words are nothing on their own. Go ahead and pay all the lip service you want, but none of it matters if you don’t act on it. ❧ Ghosts, now that he knows that they’re real. That’s creepy. No thank you.
STRENGTHS ❧ Not easily fooled by people's tricks and stories. ❧ Adaptable. Capable of going with the flow in most situations.
WEAKNESSES ❧ Has been known to stubbornly hold on to a grudge. ❧ Ironically, while he takes issue with others not following through on their word, he also has issues not communicating when there's something he plans to do. It's not so much the serious stuff like sneaking out without telling anyone (he has learned to communicate with Finch in his own way, by for example taking his jacket from its usual spot when he leaves so she'll know), but more-so like when he plans to try a book a classmate recommended, he's not sure he'll actually have the time, so he never says he he'll try it when he does. Small lapses in communication.
DESIRES ❧ To take it easy and enjoy his school life to the fullest. ❧ To finally try out for the Quidditch team.
FEARS ❧ Open water. You never know what might be lurking beneath the depths. He’ll stick with swimming pools. ❧ Growing up to be like his parents.
xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Erikk was born as lucky number 7 of Alarick and Kadence Knapp’s hoard of children. The good thing about having so many siblings was that it was never lonely. There were always people to talk to when he wanted, but sometimes a full house could be a little much. Erikk’s mum seemed stretched too thin and his dad was never around, ever the workaholic. Sometimes things–and children–just got overlooked. It was one of those instances that cost the life of his brother Deepak. Erikk was just a toddler at the time, and as a result, he only really remembers Dee through photos and stories from his older siblings.
Erikk liked to spend time with his oldest sister, Brook. Where there was Brook, there were often snacks to be shared, and her friends were pretty cool too. Rhea and Aidene seemed to like to adopt little siblings for themselves. Rhea mentioned she used to teach Dominik and Deepak gymnastics, and Aidene wanted to teach Erikk how to fight! It was so much fun. He even learned a little baking, and the best ways to doctor up instant noodle cups. There were a few Summers where suddenly Aidene had little to do with him, leaving him sad and confused. Once she graduated, she was around much more, and eventually gave him a proper reason as to why–it turns out vampirification has quite the adjustment period. They’ve gotten along famously since, and Erikk even tried some blood (never again), but it left him with the impression even the nicest people can be unreliable.
You’d think Mum would have learned losing a kid was painful, but no. As Erikk grew, he became more and more aware of the problems in the household. His favorite brother (don’t tell anyone!), Chadwick, was kicked out for loving another boy. What did that matter? Love was a good thing, wasn’t it? Was she just jealous that Chadwick’s boyfriend spent time with him and Dad was barely home for her? After that, when Cenek was off at school, Erikk was left as the man of the house. He didn’t like that, but someone had to look out for his little siblings, especially now that Flick found a new family to live with. Erikk really missed Flick. He missed Chadwick. He wondered if he might have missed Deepak, had he known him better.
Erikk tried his best. Sometimes still, he needed to get away. It was a lot of work for a little boy. When he did, he could be found high above in the tree out back, nose buried in a book while simultaneously keeping an eye out for his siblings, sometimes his nieces and nephews, and eventually the little neighbor boy. Sometimes Erikk would play with them, or teach them about the forests surrounding their homes. He showed them how to plant acorns to get oak trees. Erikk was especially good at it–like magic, his plants always seemed to sprout as soon as they were buried.
Dad had an important job, and that meant he was always gone. Erikk didn’t care. What’s the point in a good job if you’re never home? If you never see your kids? If you let your wife toss them aside for being themselves? Erikk couldn’t stand it, and then one day he just waltzes home saying he was suddenly going to do better. He was going to be there for them more. Yeah, right. He’d believe it when he saw it–and he did, but it was still so very wrong. Alarick hadn’t changed at all. Sure, in comparison to his old job, it seemed like he was around all the time! But he was a Professor at Hogwarts, which meant he was still gone for 9 months of the bloody year. He might see his kids at school every day, but what about the ones he left behind at home? What if one of them wasn’t magic, what then? They’d never earn their “quality time” with dear ol’ Dad?
Erikk’s Hogwarts acceptance letter came and went just as he expected. What good would it do him, moving from Mum’s territory to Dad’s? Erikk still considered himself the man of the house, especially since Cenek had long moved out. What was he supposed to do, just leave his little siblings? While there was a part of him that had no interest in going, another part was anxiously awaiting the newfound freedom that would come with leaving Godric’s Hollow, so rarely done outside of visits with his grandparents. The night before he left for the station, he passed the torch of “Man of the House” on to Henrick. Gottie may have been the oldest boy of the house now, but… Yeah, Erikk was pretty sure Henrick was the right call.
SCHOOL YEARS ❧FIRST YEAR Erikk was sorted to Slytherin rather than Gryffindor, much to his absolute relief. As far away from his dad as humanly possible: Perfect. His year was spent snarking in his classes and exploring the castle to find every alternate route he possibly could in case of a quick escape. He checked out Dueling club, but bailed when he realized he wouldn't be able to do anything until next year. Besides that, he joined the Quidditch team as a reserve and spent time with the Herbology Club.
❧SECOND YEAR Erikk started his master plan of sneakily planting as many tree sprouts as possible, bringing in a whole bag of seeds he collected throughout the Summer in Godric's Hollow. He met a girl that initially went for his throat over this, but she calmed and was actually sort of charming once she realized he was doing some good for the planet. After receiving the nickname Tree Boy, he decided to return the favor and call Jaelah Mockingjae in the start of what Erikk could only assume would be a very entertaining friendship. This year he joined the Dueling Club officially, and made first string Beater for the Quidditch team.
There was a multi-house scrimmage match on the pitch that Spring. Unfortunately Erikk drew the short straw and didn't get to play himself, but Dominik and Zack absolutely slaughtered the competition. It was brilliant! Seemed the hospital wing would be busy for a while.
Over the Summer, yet another Knapp came into the fold: Kelebek. Hopefully his parents would finally be done after this one.
