Eve gasped when Villanelle grabbed her by the thighs and sat her down on the nearest table.
“What are you doing?” She demanded, still holding the spoon in her right hand.
“I…” Villanelle planted her wants on the table by Eve’s hips. “... want a kiss.”
Eve frowned, even as Villanelle took a step forward, standing between her legs. “Can’t you wait two minutes? I was just…”
“Nope.” Villanelle declared, before leaning forward and pressing her lips against Eve’s.
Eve hummed in surprise, before carelessly dropping her spoon. She put her arms around Villanelle’s neck, making the other woman groan in approval.
Villanelle put her hands on Eve’s hips and pulled her more tightly against herself, making her kisses more insistent. Eve parted her lips, shivering when Villanelle’s cold hands went under her tank top.
Villanelle moved her kisses to Eve’s neck, making her way up to the other woman’s ear. “Aren’t you happy I didn’t wait two minutes?”
Eve rolled her eyes before pulling Villanelle’s mouth back to hers.

With a war brewing on the horizon, everyone was desperate for a bit of hope.  And Kingsley Shacklebolt had the answer.

Tumblr media
Name: Bobbie Fortescue
Story: Reverie
House: Hufflepuff
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: McKenna Grace & Ginny Gardner
Love Interest: Ernie MacMillan
Being a child of the first Wizarding War was far from easy.  Like so many, Bobbie’s parents had been killed during the war, and she’d been raised by her grandfather.  A fiercely protective man, having lost both his son and daughter — Bobbie’s Aunt Alice — to death eaters, Bobbie’s little world had been mostly limited to the ice cream parlour and their apartment above it.  Small, safe, lonely. But there were bright spots in her life too.  There was her cousin, Neville, whom she was allowed to visit once a week.  There was Madam Villanelle from Flourish and Blotts, who would always let Bobbie sit and read safely within her grandfather’s view from the parlour.   There was Ernie MacMillan, the sweet boy who always stopped by to say hi when he was in the Alley — to whom Bobbie always snuck a free ice cream.  And there was Hogwarts.  The dream of a future, of a world beyond the small section of Diagon Alley that could easily be seen from her grandfather’s shop.  The dream of friends, of excitement, knowledge, adventure. But when Bobbie gets to Hogwarts, it’s nothing like she expected.  Sorted into Hufflepuff and separated from Neville, she finds herself floundering.  The world outside of the parlour is bigger, louder, more dangerous than Bobbie had ever dreamed, and the only person who seems to notice how badly she’s handling it is none other than Ernie MacMillan himself.
Tumblr media
Name: Carina Goldberg
Story: Do You Believe In Magic
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Raffey Cassidy & Danielle Campbell
Love Interest: Harry Potter
Carina Goldberg knew magic was real. She’d known it was real sinceher first brush with accidental magic, when she was only five years old.  Her mum had sat her down to tell her all about the Wizarding World—that she, herself, was a squib, a magic-less child from a magical family, who never expected to have a magical daughter herself.  So, she knew of magic.  But when her owl comes from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, she finds that there’s still a lot that she doesn’t know.  She knew nothing about her own family’s dark history, or that her best friend, Harry, was famous in the Wizarding World, and she definitely didn’t know about the evil lurking in the shadows, threatening to destroy the world once more.
Tumblr media

House: Gryffindor or Beauxbatons
Era: Flamel Era
Face claim: Emily Carey & Lily Collins
Love Interest: Sébastien Gautier
The only child of Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, Catherine was just as much of a magical prodigy as her parents.  She had graduated at the top of her class at Beauxbatons, then proceeded to dedicate her passions alchemy and spellcraft to helping her people survive the ever increasing persecution that they were facing all across the continent.  But as time goes on and the struggle gets closer to home, she can’t help but wonder: had she been doing the right thing, or had she only been contributing to the endless death and destruction?

Tumblr media
Name: Corvina Black
Story: So It Goes
House: Durmstrang
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Stella Maeve
Love Interest: Viktor Krum
Corvina Karkaroff knew the life that was planned out for her.  She knew that her father had arranged her betrothal years earlier, and that within a month of her graduation she would be married.  Her future husband was fond of the dark arts and viewed marriage as a necessity for heirs, wives as nothing more than property – in short, he failed to pass the only request that Corvina might have had.  Still, with barely nine months left of her free life, she was determined to make the most of the time she had.  It was fortunate, really, that this would be the year of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, the year that she could disappear to England and leave her future far behind.  One year.  One glorious year of international relations, thrilling competition, and clandestine meetings with Viktor, before she would have to return home and face reality.  But a lot can happen in one year, and by the time the ship docks back at Durmstrang, who knows what life may have in store.
Tumblr media

Name: Dawn Connolly
Story: Stairway To Heaven
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Sabrina Carpenter & Lily James
Love Interest: Sirius Black
When the wizarding world first went to war against Voldemort, seventeen year old Dawn Connolly was right there in the middle of it all. The muggleborn was still in her final year at Hogwarts, but she found herself stepping up within the Order of the Phoenix, alongside the infamous Marauders and her long time best friend and idol, Lily Potter. But one fateful Halloween, only months after finishing school tragedy shook Dawn’s world. Within hours, her closest confidant had died, as had two of her best friends, the third arrested and sent to jail, and the fourth locking himself away from the world. So Dawn packed up her life and returned to the muggle world. She kept her head down until most of her former colleagues had assumed her dead or forgotten about her entirely, working odd jobs in the town of Little Whinging, where she knew Lily’s sister lived. She waitressed, she sang, she wrote, she babysat Harry Potter. It wasn’t perfect, and she continued to grieve for her loved ones, but it was more than she could have hoped for; it was good. And then Sirius Black turns up on her doorstep.
Tumblr media
Name: Deianira Carrow
Story: Melodrama
Series: What Died Didn’t Stay Dead
House: Slytherin
Era: Riddle Era
Face claim: Emily Carey & Lily Collins
Love Interest: Tom Riddle
Tom Riddle was, in a word, enchanting.  Deianira Carrow was two classes below him, but from her very first day of school, she had never been able to take her eyes off of him.  And somehow, in her third year and his fifth, he set his eyes on her as well.  From that day onwards, Deianira was always by his side.  She was in his innermost circle, his closest confidante, his right hand.  She was his.  And as the years pass by, as her graduation approaches, as schoolboy visions become a reality, Deianira knows one thing for certain.  She will always be his; even if it kills her.
Tumblr media
Name: Dimitri Aleksander Volkov
Story: The Captain Of My Fate
Series: Invictus
House: Durmstrang; Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Aidan Gallagher & Thomas Doherty
Love Interest: Cassia Potter
Tumblr media
Name: Dulcinea Ollivander
Story: Moonlight Sonata
House: Ravenclaw
Era: Marauder's Era
Face claim: Abby Ross & Hannah Murray
Dulcinea Ollivander had always believed that Hogwarts would be the best years of her life.  Raised on stories of lifelong friends and adventures that she would remember forever, she couldn’t wait to board the train and experience all of the wonder for herself.  And for the first few years, it had been true.  She’d found a home and a family within Ravenclaw tower, a passion for almost all of her classes, an unexpected love of quidditch, and even a crush in the form of Remus Lupin – it was everything she could have dreamed of and more.  But as Voldemort’s war lands on their doorstep, adventure and wonder must come to an end, and everyone has to decide just how far they’re willing to go to survive.
Tumblr media
Name: Elvira Lestrange
Story: Alchemical
Series: Family Jewels
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Dove Cameron
Tumblr media
Name: Emerald Evans
Story: Lightning Strikes
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Sophia Lillis & Abigail Cowen
Love Interest: Theodore Nott
Emerald Evans would have once called herself perfectly normal, thank you very much.  Raised by her Aunt Mary in Little Whinging, happy if a little bit lonely, her life was entirely average.  Or so she thought, until a scrawny boy named Harry, with a funny scar and the same eyes as hers, walked into her classroom on the first day of primary school, and everything changed.  More and more often she was noticing things that were decidedly not normal — Aunt Mary holding something that had been across the room only moments before, ending up on a roof with no memory of moving, snakes that sounded more like whispers than hissing.  Little things and no so little things all piling up into one overwhelming, unsolvable puzzle, building and building right up to her eleventh birthday, when an owl flew into her window holding an envelope, of all things.
Tumblr media
Name: Eurydice Crouch
Story: If I Die Young
Series: What Died Didn’t Stay Dead
House: Slytherin
Era: Marauders Era
Face claim: Emily Carey & Lily Collins
Love Interest: James Potter & Lily Evans
As the only daughter of House Crouch, Eurydice entered Hogwarts knowing that her only job was to secure herself a proper, respectable, political marriage.  It was all that she had been trained for, and she had already prepared a list of suitable suitors to acquaint herself with.  However that list didn’t account for her being sorted into Slytherin – she was supposed to be a Ravenclaw, thank you – and surrounded by families too dark to bolster her father’s political career.  It also didn’t account for a fledging friendship with either James Potter or Lily Evans, let alone for her growing feelings towards not one, but both of them.  And it most certainly didn’t account for Lord Voldemort’s growing obsession with her.
Tumblr media
Name: Gemini Black
Story: Once Bitten, Twice Shy
House: Slytherin
Era: Marauders’ Era
Face claim: Bailee Madison & Nina Dobrev
Love interest: Remus Lupin
Six years of inter-house rivalry could never come close to destroying the Black twins’ bond.  Even though most people only saw them as the Gryffindor rebel and the Slytherin princess, Sirius and Gemini were still as close as the day they were born.  After all, they were very much the same.  The only real differences were that Sirius had best friends and that his rebellion was much louder than hers - and that was no accident: the more obvious Sirius was in his opinions, the less anyone noticed Gemini’s.  But, as close as they were, they still had secrets.  Gemini still didn’t know the truth about Remus Lupin and his furry little problem, and Sirius… Sirius still didn’t know that she’d been in love with Remus since they were eleven.  Until one fateful full moon when Gemini goes to the Shrieking Shack to talk Sirius out of pranking Snape, and suddenly, for the first time in sixteen years, something might come between them.
Tumblr media
Name: Gwendolyn Pendragon
Story: Faultlines
Series: What Died Didn’t Stay Dead
House: Ravenclaw
Era: Fantastic Beasts
Face claim: Emily Carey & Lily Collins
Love Interest: Newt Scamander
Moving to America hadn’t been an easy decision, no matter what Gwendolyn Pendragon’s friends might claim.  Leaving behind her loved ones was hard enough, but abandoning the war effort was even worse.  But with Grinlewald fixated on her family name, the best way for her to protect anyone was to be far away.  It was a good plan, for a time.  But when she runs into her dearest friend for the first time in a decade, she has to face the truth.  Her time is running short, and her past is close on her heels.
Tumblr media
Name: Holly Evans
Story: Toil And Trouble
House: TBD
Era: Marauders’ Era
Face claim: Sadie Stanley & Sophie Turner & Karen Gillan
Tumblr media
Name: Iliana Prewett
Story: Rose Thorns
Series: Garden Song
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Ellie Bamber
Tumblr media
Name: Jessica Stevens
Story: Love and War
House: Gryffindor
Face claim:  Olivia Holt & Emily Vancamp
Era: Marauder's Era / Golden Era
Love interest: Sirius Black
Everyone talked about the Marauders, close as brothers and all that, but no one ever talked about their female counterparts, close as sisters.  Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon, Alice Fortescue, Mary Macdonald, and Jessica Stevens.  Best friends since the day they started at Hogwarts, it would always be the six of them.  But, as much as Lily hated James Potter, Jess loved Sirius Black.  And he loved her too.  But with their best friends hating each other, it seemed unlikely that they would ever have a chance to act on those feelings.  Even if they could have, they were a bit busy with a war, blood feuds, secret organizations, and trying to pass their OWLs.  Oh, and let’s not forget, a sickness that seemed to only be affecting muggle-borns like Jess and Lily.

Talbott 🤝 Carewyn
requested by @catohphm
It was springtime. The sky had cleared up beautifully after an evening rainstorm, leaving the air fresh and clean all of the buds popping up out of the icy ground as bright green as emeralds.
It was a perfect day for flying — so Talbott Winger took on his eagle Animagus form and took to the skies.
The view over Hogwarts castle was like no other. Even up in Ravenclaw Tower, one couldn’t get the wonderful perspective that came with the school being miles below, a mere fraction of the size it was on the ground. It made everything seem so much smaller, so much closer together — a little sanctuary, in the midst of the rocky, forested Scottish terrain. Even the people far below were like dolls in a diorama — all the students; Professor Flitwick; the gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid; Headmaster Dumbledore himself — all of them were equally tiny, to Talbott’s eagle eyes.
Suddenly, to Talbott’s left, a cluster of whistle-like notes swept through the air. Following right behind them was a tiny robin redbreast — the source of the twittered song — which flew up and over Talbott’s longer wings to flap alongside him.
“Morning!” it seemed to say without any words.
Talbott couldn’t help but smile through his beak at the tinier bird. She was still cheerfully twittering a song Talbott didn’t recognize -- undoubtedly some sort of Muggle ditty. He gave a short, low shriek, like a snarky greeting in return. It made the robin fly up and around him again, her unusually blue-colored eyes also sparking with wry amusement. 
It was common, for the two to banter with each other -- even, this way, without a single word. Fortunately Talbott was very fluent in silence, and judging by the way the robin kept singing, she was having just as much fun as he was. 
With a smirk, Talbott spread his wings just enough to tap hers, almost like a light little “tag” -- then he flapped his much larger wings, swooping down a bit and then looking back over his shoulder at her.
“Coming?” his posture seemed to ask.
The robin didn’t need any prompting. There was something of a smile to her expression, inside the red spot that went around her beak, as she flapped downward after Talbott. The two soared side by side over the grounds, the robin singing louder and happier than ever as she circled around her larger companion in mid-air. 
And even though Talbott was smirking in amusement a lot of the time, his sharp eyes still rippled with fondness. 
At last the two birds came down to roost below a tree on the Hogwarts grounds, far enough away from anyone who could possibly see them. Only then did Talbott transform back, turning around as the robin turned back into her human form as well.
“You seem in a good mood this morning,” Talbott said dryly.
Carewyn Cromwell turned to give him a wry, bright red smile. 
“Funny,” the Head Girl said as she brushed her loose, long red hair out of her face. “I was just about to say the same thing about you. Did you get a response about your poem, for Madame Villanelle’s contest?”
“Not yet,” said Talbott. Carewyn started walking back toward the school, and he took the silent hint to follow her. “But I did get a letter back from the Auror Department.”
“What did they say?” Carewyn asked at once. 
“It wasn’t an acceptance letter or anything,” said Talbott, thinking to curb her expectations, “but they said they liked my scores in Stealth and Tracking, Battle Instinct, and Poisons and Antidotes. It sounds like Mad-Eye Moody even put in a word for me, though I can’t imagine why that would be.”
He cocked his eyebrows sarcastically at Carewyn, who giggled softly behind her hand. 
“Well, the Aurors wouldn’t have taken down R, if it wasn’t for the Circle of Khanna,” she said coolly. “Are you really that surprised Mad-Eye would want you in his department?”
“No, but I was only one person, in that group,” said Talbott. “Not even the strongest duelist in it, either...”
“There’s more to being an Auror than being a good duelist, Talbott,” Carewyn reminded him.
“I know -- but the Auror Department only accepts the best of the best. I know I’ve got a lot of training to go through, if I’m going to be up to snuff.”
“Seems to me that you knowing that makes you a stronger candidate, not a weaker one,” said Carewyn, her red lips curling up in a gentler smile. 
Talbott smiled slightly in return, his eyes softening. “Thanks.”
He looked up toward the turrets of the castle, surrounded by the clear sky they’d just been flying through. 
“Anyway, the letter said that the Auror Department would like to interview me one-on-one for the character and aptitude tests, before it makes its final decision about whether or not to accept me.”
Talbott’s face burst into a huge grin. 
“And from what Tonks has told me...the interviewer for new Auror recruits is none other than Mad-Eye Moody himself...meaning there’s a very good chance that he’ll put me through. And even if he doesn’t, he’ll still probably keep my name on the list for consideration in the future!”
Carewyn’s eyes lit up. “Talbott, that’s wonderful news! Oh, I know you’ll do well -- you and Tonks both studied so hard for aptitude, and you’ll obviously pass the character test with flying colors...”
She brought a hand up to her friend’s shoulder and gave it a squeeze, her eyes sparkling like light blue stars. 
“I’m so proud of you, Talbott,” she said warmly. 
Talbott smiled fully in return. “Yeah...I’m kind of proud of me too.”
He chuckled to himself. Carewyn beamed.
“Just think,” she said, “soon, we’ll be able to do what we dreamed -- help people and protect them...fight for justice. Maybe make the world a little better.” 
Talbott gave an amused snort. “We really do sound like idealistic kids, when you put it like that.” 
“Most would say we are idealistic kids,” Carewyn shot back drolly.
Talbott laughed. “Yeah...I guess we are. It’s kind of amazing we still are, after everything we’ve been through...”
He smiled a bit more warmly at his friend. 
“But...maybe that’s a good thing, in its own way. I reckon everyone’ll think it stupid of us, but...well, I’d say it’s still better than giving up without trying.”
Carewyn nodded. “You can’t achieve the impossible, if you don’t dream of it first.”
Talbott inclined his head in agreement. “Right.”
He opened the right side of the double doors leading into the castle and held it open for Carewyn.
“Thank you,” Carewyn said lightly as she took the door from him and then closed it behind both of them.
“By the way,” said Talbott idly, “what was that song you were singing, earlier? It had a snappy beat.”
Carewyn smiled. “It’s called Tom’s Diner. Suzanne Vega wrote it, so I thought you might like it.”
“That’s fair -- I’ve liked her lyrics before,” said Talbott with a small smirk. “Can’t really get those when you’re twittering them at me, though.”
“I could sing it properly, if you really wanted,” Carewyn said coolly. 
“Maybe after Potions class -- unless you think Snape would enjoy you serenading me over our brewing of the Draught of the Living Dead.”
“I’ll pass. I may be Head Girl now, but I know better than to poke a sleeping dragon.”

Curse Breakers Gambit ch 7
Flourish and Blotts had been closed to the public, and when they entered the store, there were mix matched tables and chairs set up throughout to host the schools participating in the chess tournament along with a matchup board with all of the students names, along with a second with each school and the total number of wins.
“Iris,” Tulip turned to the blonde once they were inside. “Did you figure out how to get Badeea's set o cooperate with one another?”
“I did, and what's more I learned that it's the exact same secret to own own success here today.” Iris began. “Each of us has a unique approach to chess, and we need to embrace that difference if we wish to succeed here. Murphy is all theory, Badeea looks to the big picture, Tulip you think out of the box, and I take a more traditional route. If we all did the same thing the other teams would be able to pinpoint that weakness and destroy us in the first few rounds.”
“You're absolutely right, iris. I feel terrible that I almost broke up this team for not seeing that. Despite McGonagall's warning, I cracked under the pressure. Girls, please forgive me.” Murphy asked for each of their forgiveness, and they all muttered affirmations that he was forgiven.
“What matters is that we are all here together in the moment that counts the most.” Iris smiled to each of them.
“I'll say, and just in time for the tournament, too! I just-” Murphy stopped talking as the door opened. All the girls followed his gaze to see a group of rather all attractive students wander in. Specifically a golden brown haired girl in a blue tweed dress. Everyone suddenly went silent and there was muttering from corners of the store. “It's the Matagot of Wizard Chess! Celeine Castillon!” Murphy told the girls excitedly.
“That's the top ranked student player in the world?” Iris asked, and narrowed her eyes at Murphy who seemed to be awestruck.
“I imagined she would be taller.” Tulip gave Iris a knowing look and Iris just rolled her eyes.
“I don't think I've ever been so starstruck,” Murphy said airily and Iris nearly thumped the back of his head. “Not even when Ethan Parkin showed up to coach Gryffindor. I'm trying to calculate the odds of us taking on Celine's team and winning but my mind is drawing a blank.”
“Well I'm confident our team can beat Celine and her mates.” Iris said sternly, placing her hands on her hips, “we can achieve anything we set our minds to.”
“your confidence is inspiring, Iris! And you're absolutely 100% correct.” He beamed at her, but she was still a little irritated. “Our team has already come this far, let's take it all the way!” Just as he finished, Madam Villanelle ran a bell to gather everyone's attention. “Thankfully none of us have to compete against Celine, but I do have to face one of the players from Beauxbatons.” He explained, having already looked over the playing order. “Tulip you play against Uagadou, Badeea against Ivermorny, and Iris has to face Durmstrang.” Which he did not like because he saw just how strong and brawny they all were. “Good luck ladies.”
With that, they all found their respective opponents. Murphy peeked from the corner of his eye and witnessed Iris offering her hand to the Durmstrang boy for a handshake, but he nearly saw red when the young man took it, but instead of shaking he kissed the back of her hand.
Within minutes Murphy heard Celine declare-
“Check mate. My strategy ees' impeccable, eet' simply cannot be beat.” She said, and her opponent shook his head. Murphy though gave himself a pat on the back, because in less then ten moves he himself had his opponent in a check.
“Check mate.” Murphy cornered the boys King. Celine and Murphy were the first to topple their opponents, and Murphy looked over to watch his name exchange spots on the scoreboard, and for Hogwarts to be equal with Beauxbatons.
“Check mate.” Murphy heard Iris's sweet voice call out suddenly above the other voices. Just like that, Hogwarts moved above Beauxbatons. Murphy and Iris stood on the sidelines after their matches, and watched Badeea and Tulip in their matches. Murphy smiled when he saw the Queen on Badeea's board nearly jump for joy as the girl said-
“Check... Mate?” She asked more then stated, and the girl from Ivermony slap herself on the forehead.
“It is!” Murphy called out to Badeea who looked at him, then back at her board, then back at Iris and Murphy with a smile.
“Check mate!” She announced happily. As they watched Tulip's game, they soon realized that she was just toying with the girl she was playing. Murphy mimicked tapping a watch, and Tulip nodded, and within four moves, she was was announcing-
“that's check mate.”
“You were toying with me!”
“I was, and you fell for it.” She smiled.
Throughout the day, one by one, they managed to succeed in 24 of their 28 matches, Badeea loosing two, and then Tulip and Iris loosing 1 each. Murphy had managed to not loose one and he was ecstatic. That evening, over a celebration dinner at the Leaky Cauldron, Murphy filled “his” girls in.
“Great job today girls, we were nearly perfect!” He announced, pulling out the standings sheet. “We are going to be progressing to the final rounds tomorrow.”
“Brilliant! I was confident about our chances of winning the tournament, and now it's truly within our grasp.” Iris smiled, sipping on her tea.
“The way it's adding up it looks like we will have to face Uagadou and Durmstrang, and then if we make it past that... We will face Castillion and Beauxbatons.”
“We each beat our opponents from Uagadou, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang though, so that's good.”
“I lost one one my matches though against Durmstrang.” Badeea told her.
“And I lost mine against Beauxbatons.” Tulip mentioned pouring herself a cup of warm tea.
“What's more on that note,” Murphy stacked his papers, “I have some troubling news.”
“What's that?” Iris asked as the waitress came over with their plates of food. Murphy waited until the table was covered in the plates and bowls, before he continued.
“I was saying, I studied Celine's moves when I managed to finish before her, and I uncovered something disturbing about her strategy-”
“Oh sweet Merlin this is good.” Tulip mumbled as she shoved a spoonful of her food in her mouth.
“Celine is implementing the Dragon Variation of the Slytherin Defense.” Murphy finished. Iris finished chewing and asked,
“isn't that the rare and devastating strategy that Aberforth said he used to crush Brian Gagwilde?”
“One in the same, it's virtually unbeatable.” Murphy told her, and watched as Iris shrugged.
“Then we need to come up with a strategy to counter Celine's seemingly unbeatable technique and fast.” She stabbed at her dinner, “I wonder if Aberforth can help us, he's a master of the tactic so maybe he has a way to counter it?”
“Going to the Hogs Head Inn during the day is creepy enough, let alone at night.” Murphy huffed.
“But we don't have to compete in the wildcard rounds, we are already in the finals, technically our games don't start until after lunch.” Iris reminded him, “if we get up early enough and use the floo we could go see him, and try to figure out a way to beat it, and get back to Flourish and Blotts in time.”
Murphy almost kissed her square on the mouth right there in the middle of the restaurant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, bright and early, Murphy and the three girls floo'd to Hogsmead. Once in the Hog's Head, Murphy was delighted that there was virtually no one in the place so early in the morning.
“Back again, are we? If you're looking for more lost chess pieces, I'm afraid I can't help you this time.” Aberforth laughed as he cleaned up the bar.
“We aren't looking for chess pieces, we're actually looking for some help.” Iris explained to him. “We've made it to the final round in the tournament, but we are concerned about our opponent Celine Castillon, who happens to be the best student player in the world.”
“Celine is planning to use the Dragon Variation of the Slytherin Defense against us in the final rounds.” Murphy told him further.
“I see why you'd be concerned. As I told you last time, that strategy is not one to be trifled with, it's far too powerful.” He told them as Badeea and Tulip took a seat at the closest table.
“Well... We were hoping you'd teach us a way to counter her strategy?” Iris inquired to him with her kindest voice.
“I wish I could. But Unfortunately a counter to the Dragon Variation doesn't exist.” Aberforth told her.
“Aberforth is right, Iris. In all my reading, I've never come across an effective counter for it either.” Murphy moaned.
“Why don't we just... Invent one?” Badeea offered.
“You want to invent a counter strategy to the Dragon Variation of the Slytherin Defence?” Aberforth asked surprised.
“Yes?”
“Why not!” Iris encouraged.
“It's a delightfully mad plan, but I detect a 3.87% chance it may just work!”
“Then let's put our heads together and figure out a counter strategy they won't see coming!” Iris said enthusiastically.
So that's what they did, they pulled out a chess board from the bowels of the Hogs Head, blew off the dust, and went to work.
----------------------------------------------
“According to the Dragon Variation, Celine will castle Kingside in order to capture our most powerful pieces... But unlike Celine we will not overlook our pawns.” Murphy moved in the way to fullfill the Dragon Variation.
“So while she's distracted trying to capture our Queen on one side of the board... We will aggressively push our pawns forward on the other side, and capture... her King! Check mate.” Iris finished and looked up at him with a smile. Murphy looked down absolutely awestruck at the fact they had indeed made a move to counter the Dragon Strategy.
“I stand corrected, apparently a counter strategy to the Dragon Defense does exist after all.” Aberforth was astounded.
“Girls this is brilliant!” Murphy beamed up at Tulip, Badeea, and Iris. “I predict a 76.1% chance that it will work against Celine in the final round. But... Brilliant as it is, our strategy is missing one very important element.”
“What's that?” Tulip asked him.
“It's missing a name.”
“I think... That considering everything, Gagwilde's Return would be a great honor.” Iris suggested and both Tulip and Badeea nodded.
“I think Brian would very much appreciate that gesture, from the bottom of my heart, I heart I appreciate it too.” Aberforth told them, patting the center of his chest.
“We've come up with a promising strategy to counter the Dragon Variation, but now it's time to put it to the ultimate test.” Murphy told them. “Ready girls?”
“Ready!” The three of them smiled and told him happily.
-------------------------------------------------------------
They made it back to Flourish and Blotts with little time to spare. Iris had to run back to the Inn and insisted that she change, because she had soot and floo powder on her. In truth, she was changing into another distraction dress, as Murphy called it. Murphy nearly hot the floor when he saw what Iris had chosen.
The pompom fridge black skirt. Instead of wearing the matching top though, she had instead went for a black slightly oversized sweater... And knee high boots.
What was funny, was that all the girls seemed to take a page out of that book. Badeea had changed into rather cutesy red dress, and golden silk hijab that complimented her eyes, along with having her makeup done. Tulip wore a Hogwarts sweater, but also noticed that she had some makeup on as well, not as much as Badeea and Iris, but some, along with adding a little curl into her hair.
The three girls walked ahead of him, heading to the store and he couldn't help but notice the glances that the three of them got, and while his heart belonged to Iris, he pelt himself feeling proud as a peacock because he had not just the smartest team, but he had the prettiest in his mind.
“I think I have the prettiest team in the competition.” He told them with a smile once inside Flourish and Blotts.
“Even better the Beauxbatons?” Tulip smirked.
“Even better then Beauxbatons, look,” he pointed towards the French team, who's two male competitors were looking the three girls up and down.
“See something you like boys?” Iris smiled, which made them turn red and look away quickly.
“Well, ladies, this is it! The moment we've all been waiting for, the final round of the tournament is about to begin!” Murphy prepared to give them a pep talk.
“Yes! I just hope the strategy that we invented will be enough to beat Celine and her team.” Badeea mentioned as Madam Villanelle passed out the matchup papers for the day. Murphy took it and then his face went white.
“Murphy? What's wrong?” Iris asked him, putting her hand on his shoulder.
“Iris... You'll be going against Celine Castillon.” He looked up at her. He had to admit, he was a little let down, he had hoped to have the honor of playing Celine. He shook off his disappointment and patted the back of her hand. “The Matagot and the curse breaker, a chess match that's not to be missed.” He smiled at her hoping he reassured her. “How do you feel?”
“Focused. I'll need to perform at my very best if I hope to unseat Celine from her throne.” Iris told him.
“You have all the tools to beat her, Iris. Just keep your head in the game, and you'll do great.” Murphy encouraged her. “You do your best to beat Celine, and while you're doing that, we'll do our part to take down the rest of her team.”
“Sounds like a perfect plan, Murphy... Now let's go out there and play our hearts out.”
“We can win this thing Iris! I know it in my heart.” Tulip clapped her hands on Iris's shoulders, shaking her lightly.
“If we do win, I know what my next painting is going to be.” Badeea smiled.
“Bring it in ladies,” Murphy held his hand out in the middle of them, and each of the girls laid a hand over his. “Hogwarts!”
“Hogwarts!” Their voices followed after him as they looked to find their respective partners. Iris was directed to go to the extra large main board in the middle, where Celine had been playing most of her games. Murphy did his best to get his game over with as quickly as he could, but in doing so it caused him to make a few mistakes that cost him time.
As soon as he was done, he wheeled over to watch Iris and Celine play each other. Iris was quiet, and seemed very focused while Celine looked extremely confident... Almost an arrogant air about her. Badeea came over and tapped Murphy on the shoulder,
“how's she doing?”
“Good, she's keeping very level headed.” Murphy explained to her. “Did you win?”
“I did!” She told him excitedly, but not loudly.
“Good, so did I!” Tulip announced, crossing her arms and plopping them ontop of Murphy's head. “What about you, saucebox?” She asked.
“I happened to as well.” He assured them, not even bothering to push Tulip off of him. In fact, he found the fact that she and Badeea seemed to be so comfortable around him now very endearing. “Celine is playing right into her hands, Iris just need to keep pressing her.” Murphy whispered to Badeea and Tulip.
Then, Celine made the fatal error and it was everything in his power not to shout in excitement.
“Ha! Now zat' I have captured your precious Queen, ze end of zis games ees nearly upon us.” Celine smirked.
“You're right.” Iris nodded, and moved her last pawn into play. “Checkmate.” The look on Celine's face was nothing but shock.
“What? Ze Dragon Defense cannot be beat! Zis ees simply not possible!” Celine stomped, pointing a accusing finger at Iris. “You cheeted'!”
“I did not. You only use the Dragon Variation so my team came up with a counter strategy.” Iris explained to her, putting her hands on her hips.
“But eet' doesn't ave' one!”
“It does now!”
“Judges! Judges, check her! I believe zhe' cheeted'!” Celine shouted to the judges.
“Miss Castillon we watched the entire game, Miss Rosewood never cheated, she simply tried a different strategy.” Madam Villanelle told her, but the young French girl shook her head.
“No! Zhe' must have cheeted'. Zere' iz' no way that anyone can beat the Dragon Variation!”
“Look, Miss Priss.” Iris shook her finger at her, and looked Celine dead in the eyes, “there's no cheating. You lost fair and square. You can either do that with grace and respect or you can ruin your name and be known as the temper tantrum queen.” The look between the two girls was deadly, and Murphy enjoyed every moment of it. He could already see the piece he was going to write for the Hogwarts gazette.
There was more words exchanged, and Celine and Beauxbatons implored the judges to go over the game again. Murphy nearly blew a gadget when the judges actually indulged her and had the pieces go back and go through the game again, watching for any sort of foul play involved on either side.
None of course was found, and finally they called Iris the true winner of the match... Much to the dismay and fit of Celine. Honestly his admiration for Celine fell away the moment that he saw just what a hissy fit that she threw when she lost. Iris watched her meltdown with nothing but pity and disgust, and Murphy felt the same. The blonde walked over to where Murphy, Badeea, and Tulip stood and just shook her head.
“It is with great pleasure that we award Hogwarts with the Wizarding Chess Trophy.” One of the lead male judges announced as he handed the trophy over to them. “Finishing with a 28 out of thirty two wins. Congratulations.” All four of them were able to put their hands on the trophy, and smile for pictures from the press. It was all exhilarating and Murphy beamed with pride.
“Gagwilde's return worked beautifully, Iris. It's a true underdog story if I've ever heard one, but we actually pulled it off! I'd say this calls for a celebration!” Murphy smiled. “Drinks on me at the Three Broomsticks!”

Notes: So today is Clarissa’s birthday.
Now... Clarissa is Ully’s BAE, which makes her my BAE, therefore she gets what she wants and what she wants is to forget the last episode of “Killing Eve” ever existed.
So... Happy birthday, babe! They are alive, thriving and very fashionable as usual.
***
Eve opened the apartment’s door. “I’m home!” She called, before closing the door after herself.
Only silence greeted her, and Eve frowned. Silence was never a good sign.
She put her bag down by the door and walked carefully, as silently as possible, further into the place.
A noise in the kitchen caught her attention, and she grabbed the closest object -a very expensive vase -to use as a weapon.
More noises came from the kitchen as she tip-toed in its direction. If this was an home-invader, it was one with no…
“Villanelle!” Eve almost died of relief when she found the other woman in the middle of the kitchen. Then she frowned. “Why are you dressed like a Stepford Wife?”
And she was. Petticoat under a floral dress and everything. She even had a frilly apron on.
Then she turned around… And she had a pie in her hands.
Eve didn’t even know what to say. She kinda wanted to say she was shocked, but if she were to be honest… Few things truly shocked her when it came to Villanelle at this point. That woman had some weird ideas.
“Hello, darling.” Villanelle all but purred, a huge -fake- smile on her lips.
Eve arched an eyebrow. “Are we roleplaying something here?” She wanted to know. “Should I pull at my tie, ask you for a drink or something?”
Villanelle's fake smile died. “I am bored out of my mind.” She finally said.
“So you baked?” Eve asked, confused.
“Oh no.” She put the pie down on the counter, none too gently. “I bought that.”
“So you’re cosplaying?”
Villanelle looked down at her dress. “It sounded like a good idea. I like this dress.”
Eve chuckled. “You look gorgeous in it.”
Villanelle grinned. “I know.” Her expression changed immediately. “But I’m bored.” She pouted. “We should do something exciting!”
Eve had to fight a smile. “Like what?”
“I don’t know.” Villanelle whined. “Steal the Monalisa. Kill a bishop. Overthrow a government.” She clasped her hands. “I know! Become spies.”
That made Eve laugh. “And who would we work for?”
“Whoever paid us more. No loyalty to government or people.” Villanelle grabbed Eve’s jacket and pulled her closer. “Just each other. You have to be loyal to me.”
That made Eve laugh again, because of course that was what Villanelle was worried about. “Are you sure we should be spies?”
“I’m dead.” Villanelle pointed out. “I can be anything I want. We can make you dead too, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Yeah, sure. Let’s get a body and burn it inside a car.” Eve said sarcastically.
“Great idea.”
Eve put her hands on Vilanelle’s waist and pulled her closer, chuckling. “I was joking. Let’s think more before killing me, okay?”
Villanelle groaned. “Fine.” She eyed the pie that had been abandoned. “Do you want that pie?”
“What kind of pie is it?”
“I have no idea. I just got it because it was pretty.”
“I’m so proud of my homemaker.” Eve teased.
“Yeah, we’re done with that.” Villanelle grabbed Eve’s butt and hoisted her up.
“Villanelle!” Eve screeched, but there was a giggle lost in there.
Villanelle didn’t go very far, she just turned and lowered Eve next to the pie on the counter. “Kiss me now.” She demanded.
“Sure thing, honey.” Eve grinned, her lips already brushing against Vilanelle’s.
It might not be a conventional love, but it was a pretty great one.

A Trip to Brixton
@kc-and-co​
Day 6 - Fruit
Tumblr media
18 April, 1987
I made my way downstairs, not really wanting to be up at this hour. The clock chiming 07.30 as I walked past only irritated me further. I slumped in my seat, not eager for the busy day ahead.
A thermos of tea made, some eggs sandwiched, and a quick clothes change, and we were hurtling our way to London. Mum had a list of things to do before we drove up to Keswick. Madam Villanelle needed some help moving some books from the store room, and organising them before the newest first years really descended in the coming weeks.
Mum also wanted to pop over to Brixton, to find some fruits and vegetables for tomorrow. I wanted to check out another bookstore in Brixton (Really a stall near where mum liked to get her fruits and vegetables), but I doubted we’d have time to look.
A quick hop from Waterloo to Charing Cross, we enjoyed the walk to Diagon Alley. It was still cold and wet, but I preferred it. It beat warm, sunny and dry in my opinion. Passing through the Leaky Cauldron, we ended up stopping and talking with Tom a little bit, and he handed her a package of some kind. I didn’t ask what it was.
Exiting out to Diagon Alley, we headed for Flourish and Blotts.
It wasn’t a difficult job, per se, just one that needed several hands. Mum even managed to tick off several other, less pressing work items, before we navigated down to Brixton. A tube ride later, we were thrust into a chaotic swarm of people, which we moved through towards the market we occasionally frequented for food stuffs outside the UK.
Mum and the vendor chatted briefly, before I wandered off to explore some, stretching my legs before the five hour drive up to Keswick. And Hell, I was also looking for something to give great-grandma Eleanor.
Which I found at the rare book stall I tended to frequent when we visited, considering the number of Astronomy texts they carried, and even a selection of magical texts on occasion. I had even planned ahead, converting some galleons to pounds.
It was as I was leafing through a leather-bound copy of Einstein’s notes on Relativity that I was joined by another girl, probably a couple years older than me. I kinda recognised her, she’d visited the stall before. I reached out a hand.
“M’name’s Ellie.” I muttered, just loud enough for her to hear me.
She tentatively stretched hers out as well. “I’m Shanelle.” We shook, before returning to our respective books.
Sounds of a scuffle breaking out a few minutes later caught my attention, along with hers, and I beat a hasty retreat, handing over a couple of notes before waving goodbye and hurrying away with my purchases: the leather bound copy, and a book on magical herbs for great-grandma Eleanor.
Finding mum, she let me stick the books in her bag, before we set off again, this time for home.
We appariated home, which left me a little woozy. I packed a few things dad had taken out, along with a few things he wouldn’t, before hurrying down to the car. Mum had, thankfully, packed a snack bag, and me and dad had both brought a selection of cassettes to help pass the time.
We left for Keswick, mum and dad already bickering over the map, trying to figure out which way to get there. Magic might’ve been used, a time or two. Nothing major.
It was practically tea time by the time we arrived up and reached Keswick, and another twenty minutes before we reached the Northrup House, pulling into the drive with a crunch of gravel. The twins barrelled out first, followed by great-grandma Eleanor at a more sedate pace, and the rest of the family behind her.
I resisted the urge to flip off the man currently leaning against one of the posts, and who scowled at my appearance. Uncle Jameson.
There was a person who needed to be kicked into the North Sea.

Happy Villanelle Day!
Tumblr media
It's 2/16.
The blasted alarm, which has rung twice already only to be ignored by an exhausted witch who stays up too late for no reason — simply thinking, feeling the rush of power beneath her fingertips, staring at her phone screen...
Waking up with freezing cold toes peeking from under the blanket, and pushing the covers in an attempt to recover some of that warmth.
The morning scent of spices and herbs, and the abrupt desire for a piping hot cup of tea.
The sudden realization that today is not like every other day, today is special, today is different, except everything and everyone but Villanelle DuPont are the same.
Reluctantly dragging herself out of bed, watering each and every plant with a flick of her wrist, looking forward to the day with a wide smile and restless anticipation.
The faraway memory of diseased parents that were a tad too strict — but who cared very much —, of fond smiles and big gifts, of vanilla cake and gigantic candles, and hot chocolate, of sweaters that are a size too big.
The not-so-faraway memories of a teacher by the name of Madame DuPont — who was also very strict, though she denied ever caring at all —, of poorly wrapped presents, reluctant “You did well, girl”s, and “Keep at it this year too, don’t you dare disappoint me now”s.
Villanelle smiles fondly every time. She can’t help herself.
Hers is a mind which often strays and betrays her, it never lingers on one topic, and it finds it beyond impossible to focus and commit to a single choice. Plans are not an option, and when she leaves her warm apartment, Villanelle’s brain buzzes with excitement while her feet carry her to wherever they decide.
The taste of peppermint on her mouth as she crossed the threshold, as she breathes in the cold air of Blackburn, of home.
The feeling of fresh snow beneath her soles, crunching with every step, and the terrible mistake of stepping in a puddle, only to realize that her shoes are far from appropriate for this kind of weather.
Long, colorful scarfs that barely help warm her ears and nose — they are not as warm as the ones Madame DuPont secretly knitted for her.
Yet another sudden urge— a cake all for herself. Chocolate, strawberry, carrot, red velvet. The possibilities are infinite, her mouth waters.
Phonecalls that are never answered, ‘Happy Birthday!’ texts from friends and acquaintances and people she barely even remembers.
A quick stop at Morgan’s Garden, her second tea of the day, the playful back and forth with you.
Listening to music at full volume, only to lower it slightly as she nears the library.
A quick apologetic smile — there’s snow all over the floor now —, browsing each floor fast as lightning, and borrowing The Prince of Mournful Thoughts and Other Stories, which she knows she’ll like, even if she knows it won’t resonate with her. At all. It never has.
Another buzz of her phone. Her friends in the capital ask if she’ll make it to a party which Villanelle forgot about long ago.
‘Wouldn’t miss it~’

Love Interest: George Weasley
Summary: With a war brewing on the horizon, everyone was desperate for a bit of hope.  And Kingsley Shacklebolt had the answer. And he had the pitch.
It’s our only hope of stopping Potter from spreading more lies, he told Cornelius Fudge.  It’s our only hope of getting Potter away from Umbridge, he told Dumbledore.  It’s our only hope of protecting these children, he told the Order.  It’s our only hope of uniting our countries, he told Headmistress Averill.  It’s the only hope for saving your daughter, he told President Campbell.
But, what is it?  It’s the first contact between the British and American magical worlds since Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald fought on American soil.  It’s an exchange program, of sorts.  It’s sending a select group of students from Hogwarts to Ilvermorny for a year, introducing them to their American counterparts.
Kingsley knew that it was the only chance to win the war, but even he didn’t anticipate just how much a few Americans could change things in a single year.

Summary: When Ara Black was a year old, her father was arrested and thrown into Azkaban without a trial, and she was adopted by her Aunt Andromeda.  For the next twelve years, Ara was perfectly fine with being Ara Tonks; with being normal; with being unnoticed.  But when her father breaks out of Azkaban, on her thirteenth birthday no less, she knows that it’s only a matter of time before all her secrets are revealed.

Story: Reverie
House: Hufflepuff
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Ginny Gardner
Love Interest: Ernie MacMillan
Summary: Being a child of the first Wizarding War was far from easy.  Like so many, Bobbie’s parents had been killed during the war, and she’d been raised by her grandfather.  A fiercely protective man, having lost both his son and daughter — Bobbie’s Aunt Alice — to death eaters, Bobbie’s little world had been mostly limited to the ice cream parlour and their apartment above it.  Small, safe, lonely.
But there were bright spots in her life too.  There was her cousin, Neville, whom she was allowed to visit once a week.  There was Madam Villanelle from Flourish and Blotts, who would always let Bobbie sit and read safely within her grandfather’s view from the parlour.   There was Ernie MacMillan, the sweet boy who always stopped by to say hi when he was in the Alley — to whom Bobbie always snuck a free ice cream.  And there was Hogwarts.  The dream of a future, of a world beyond the small section of Diagon Alley that could easily be seen from her grandfather’s shop.  The dream of friends, of excitement, knowledge, adventure.
But when Bobbie gets to Hogwarts, it’s nothing like she expected.  Sorted into Hufflepuff and separated from Neville, she finds herself floundering.  The world outside of the parlour is bigger, louder, more dangerous than Bobbie had ever dreamed, and the only person who seems to notice how badly she’s handling it is none other than Ernie MacMillan himself.

House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Danielle Campbell
Love Interest: Harry Potter
Summary: Carina Goldberg knew magic was real. She’d known it was real sinceher first brush with accidental magic, when she was only five years old.  Her mum had sat her down to tell her all about the Wizarding World—that she, herself, was a squib, a magic-less child from a magical family, who never expected to have a magical daughter herself.  So, she knew of magic.  But when her owl comes from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, she finds that there’s still a lot that she doesn’t know.  She knew nothing about her own family’s dark history, or that her best friend, Harry, was famous in the Wizarding World, and she definitely didn’t know about the evil lurking in the shadows, threatening to destroy the world once more.

Summary: December 1981, two months after Voldemort’s defeat, Severus Snape introduced his daughter to the world.  Cassia Lily Snape, his daughter with Lily Evans who’d been kept a secret to protect her from both Voldemort and Lily’s husband, now a year old and living at Hogwarts with her father.
Despite her father’s emotional absence, Cassia had never lacked in love, building a family of her own within the castle she called home.  The older she got, the more questions she had about her life and her mother, but she had long since accepted that they would remain unanswered.  But when she turned eleven and finally, finally, becomes a student herself, it’s not Cassia Lily Snape who’s called to be sorted.  It’s Cassia Alice Potter, a girl said to have disappeared ten years earlier.

Face claim:  Lily James
Love Interest: Sirius Black
Summary: When the wizarding world first went to war against Voldemort, seventeen year old Dawn Connolly was right there in the middle of it all. The muggleborn was still in her final year at Hogwarts, but she found herself stepping up within the Order of the Phoenix, alongside the infamous Marauders and her long time best friend and idol, Lily Potter. But one fateful Halloween, only months after finishing school tragedy shook Dawn’s world. Within hours, her closest confidant had died, as had two of her best friends, the third arrested and sent to jail, and the fourth locking himself away from the world. So Dawn packed up her life and returned to the muggle world. She kept her head down until most of her former colleagues had assumed her dead or forgotten about her entirely, working odd jobs in the town of Little Whinging, where she knew Lily’s sister lived. She waitressed, she sang, she wrote, she babysat Harry Potter. It wasn’t perfect, and she continued to grieve for her loved ones, but it was more than she could have hoped for; it was good. And then Sirius Black turns up on her doorstep.

Tumblr media
Name: Emerald Evans
Story: Lightning Strikes
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Sophia Lillis & Abigail Cowen
Summary: Emerald Evans was proud to say that she was perfectly normal, thank you very much.  Raised by her aunt Mary MacDonald in Little Whinging, attending public school, a bit of a loner, everything was normal.  Maybe sometimes she saw her aunt holding something that had been across the room only moments before, maybe sometimes she found herself on the roof with no memory of moving, and maybe sometimes she thought she heard snakes speak to her, but she was perfectly normal.  Or so she thought, until a scrawny boy named Harry, with a funny scar and the exact same eyes as hers, walked into her classroom on the first day of primary school. Ever since, her life has been becoming less and less normal until one day an owl flies into her window holding an envelope of all things.

Tumblr media
Name: Gemini Black
Story: Once Bitten, Twice Shy
House: Slytherin
Era: Marauders’ Era
Face claim:  Nina Dobrev
Love interest: Remus Lupin
Summary:  Six years of inter-house rivalry could never come close to destroying the Black twins’ bond.  Even though most people only saw them as the Gryffindor rebel and the Slytherin princess, Sirius and Gemini were still as close as the day they were born.  After all, they were very much the same.  The only real differences were that Sirius had best friends and that his rebellion was much louder than hers - and that was no accident: the more obvious Sirius was in his opinions, the less anyone noticed Gemini’s.  But, as close as they were, they still had secrets.  Gemini still didn’t know the truth about Remus Lupin and his furry little problem, and Sirius… Sirius still didn’t know that she’d been in love with Remus since they were eleven.  
Until one fateful full moon when Gemini goes to the Shrieking Shack to talk Sirius out of pranking Snape, and suddenly, for the first time in sixteen years, something might come between them.

Face claim: Sophie Turner
Tumblr media
Name: Jessica Stevens
Story: Love and War
House: Gryffindor
Face claim:  Olivia Holt
Love interest: Sirius Black
Summary:  Everyone talked about the Marauders, close as brothers and all that, but no one ever talked about their female counterparts, close as sisters.  Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon, Alice Fortescue, Mary Macdonald, and Jessica Stevens.  Best friends since the day they started at Hogwarts, it would always be the six of them.  But, as much as Lily hated James Potter, Jess loved Sirius Black.  And he loved her too.  But with their best friends hating each other, it seemed unlikely that they would ever have a chance to act on those feelings.  Even if they could have, they were a bit busy with a war, blood feuds, secret organizations, and trying to pass their OWLs.  Oh, and let’s not forget, a sickness that seemed to only be affecting muggle-borns like Jess and Lily.

Face claim: Natasha Liu Bordizzo
Love Interest: Ernie Macmillan
Tumblr media
Name: Lyarra Vance
Story: Evergreen
House: Hufflepuff
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Anya Taylor-Joy
Love Interest: Rolf Scamander
Summary: It wasn’t unusual that no one knew who Lyarra Vance’s father was. She was born during a war; when communication was closely guarded and only necessary information was shared, when those who weren’t committed sought comfort with whomever may have been sharing their safe house for the night.  A one night stand was hardly worth alerting the Order about, even when Emmeline found herself pregnant.  She simply, quietly, withdrew from field duty and took to managing communications and information, giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, and never even told Peter that the child was his.
And really, Lyarra never needed to know the gruesome truth about what happened to him.  She knew that her father died in the war, that she had his nose, that he hadn’t known her mom was pregnant, and that Emmeline had no regrets.  But when she starts Hogwarts, she finds herself falling deeper and deeper into a web of mysteries, and the truth about her father is only the tip of an iceberg that threatens to send the Wizarding World back to war.

Face claim: Lily Collins
Love Interest: Fred Weasley
Tumblr media
Name: Miranda Granger
Story: Untitled
House: Gryffindor?
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Malina Weissman & Emilia Jones
Love Interest: Harry Potter
Summary: All Miranda Granger had ever wanted was to be special.  Sure she was a genius, but Hermione still beat her at every test, at every… well, at everything.  Until one day, while trying to reach the top shelf in the library, she found herself floating.  And for an entire glorious, secret, month, she was special.  Until Hermione showed the same abilities and it was back to second place for Miranda.  And when they both got invited to Hogwarts, she resigned herself to another seven years in her sister’s shadow.  Until, on the Hogwarts Express, they find a compartment with two boys and a rat and, for the first time in eleven years, Miranda sees the opportunity to be something more than Hermione Granger’s lesser half

House: Beauxbatons; Hufflepuff
Era: Golden Era
Face claim:  Kaylee Bryant
Love Interest: Fred Weasley
Summary: Phoenix Dumbledore knew why she hadn’t been sent to Hogwarts; knew that her Great Uncle Albus wanted nothing to do with her; with Aberforth’s orphaned granddaughter.  But when the Triwizard Tournament roles around and Madame Maxime insists on bringing the prodigal witch as part of her delegation, Phoenix knows that she can’t hide from her legacy any longer.

Name: Sadie Bishop
Story: The Ending Is The Same
Era: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Face claim:  Blake Lively
Summary: After the tragic and unexpected death of her husband and child, Sadie Bishop withdrew from both the magical and no-mag societies. She went back to her maiden name and slowly started to reenter the world, but promised herself that she wouldn’t get involved again; that she would keep her distance. The only exception was her best friend of twenty years, Percival Graves. And she could have kept it that way, she really could have, until a British wizard showed up in New York and she heard Percival introduce her with her married name, the name he knew she hadn’t used since the day she buried her husband.

Tumblr media
Name: Venus Malfoy
Story: Writing On The Walls
House: Slytherin
Era: Golden Era
Face claim: Jenny Boyd
Love Interest: Cedric Diggory; Harry Potter
Summary: Venus Malfoy’s life had always been planned out for her.  She was a Malfoy; the Malfoy Princess; and she had to do what she was told.  She would go to Hogwarts, carry on the Slytherin Legacy of both of her parents’ families, and then marry a suitably well-bred man of her father’s choosing.  But when whispers start to rise about the Voldemort’s return, Venus has to make a choice: to do what’s right, or what’s expected of her.
Tumblr media
Name: Verona Rosier
Story: Violent Delights
Series: Invictus
House: Gryffindor
Era: Marauders Era
Face claim: Zoey Deutch
Love Interest: Sirius Black; Regulus Black; Feliks Volkov
Summary: Verona Rosier had her entire life planned out from the day she was born.  Just like her brothers, she would carry on the family legacy and be sorted into Slytherin, she would maintain perfect grades, and, when the time came, she would marry Sirius Black, just as her father decreed.  She would produce perfect pureblood heirs and be the perfect pureblood wife.  Every moment was meticulously planned out, and Verona had accepted that — but when the Sorting Ceremony comes, and the Hat, barely even touching her head, shouts “Gryffindor!” her perfectly planned life shatters in an instant.

Even Bilton Blimes being R’s leader would be a more effective twist than what we got. I remember so many people being suspicious of him but that never went anywhere. Guess it really was just a coincidence that he was conveniently in the background of some important scenes. Even if he’s not evil after all, it was still super strange. :/
On some level, I know what you mean. Bilton has been a consistent presence in the background, and if I recall, he was even introduced during the main story. And like you pointed out, he was often lurking in the background during significant moments for MC. He knew about The Circle of Khanna. So it's not like he wasn't eligible. He was on my list of characters I suspected of being the Leader - Madam Villanelle was another one. Compare that to Peregrine, who has literally never appeared or even been mentioned prior to his first appearance. For a game that calls itself a "Mystery" I can see why this might feel cheap or unsatisfying.
But really, this is the only answer we could ever have gotten.
It had to come back to MC, and their family. Because that is what this story has always been about. From the very beginning, and the search for Jacob. He was MC's motivation, their entire goal. As time passed, and we learned more about the story...the number of coincidences began to pile up. I don't really mind a coincidence or two in fiction, that's usually how a story even begins...but R was borderline obsessed with MC and Jacob, and everything always seemed to be about them. Why? Because they're lead characters? That's no good, it has to be more than just that. What could explain R's actions, as well as personalize them in a way that MC cannot escape?
I kind of wish that it was the mother, but I think I get why they made it the father. (MC should have talked about him though...established his existence and backstory prior to his introduction. Just sayin'.) Because R began as a group that MC had no connection to. Hell, not even a group, just an unknown entity with unclear intentions, but they spoke with a voice that made them appear threatening. Little by little, we learned more details - R knew Jacob, he worked for them. And then, surprise! Rakepick works for them too.
Fast forward to Year 6 and, even now, R is shrouded in mystery. We still don't know what they want, what it stands for. Most characters involved with R, apart from Rakepick, are distant and have no relationship to MC, not really. Shiratori, Verucca? At first, they're little more than generic, mustache-twirling villains. Except Rakepick, but she's defeated at the end of the year-surprise! Merula is part of R, and she might have been all along.
Year 7. And now everyone gets fleshed out. Merula, certainty. But also Verucca, Shiratori...even Rakepick makes an appearance. They are all developed as characters, and now MC is working with the knowledge that R wants them for their future Leader. That, to me, was the biggest piece of evidence - what other reason, apart from inheritance and lineage, would R be this fixated on putting their underage enemy at the top of their ranks? It's this year that R becomes more personal. In the beginning, they were far away, in the shadows. Distant, to the point that it wasn't immediately clear if they even knew MC existed or not. But they became more familiar, ultimately revealing the truth. That they are, from a certain point of view, like family to MC. Peregrine's organization kind of mirrors him pretty well, now that I think about it.
