They say time heals all wounds, and this applies to everyone who had experienced the war at Hogwarts.
the aftermath left the school partially destroyed and sorrowful heart for everyone and everything that
was lost that day. School had been cancelled in order to repair the building and even though Voldemort
is no longer round, the teachers decided to continue Hogwarts in order to teach the next generation of
young Witches and Wizards in case a new darkness arises. Four years had passed by before the school
finally re-opened their doors with Professor McGonagall as the new Headmistress.

Now, it has been seven years since the grand re-opening of Hogwarts. The school is relatively back to it's
original self with the exception of some new rooms, halls, teachers, and more importantly, better safety
measures have been implemented all over the school. Staff has finally finished preparing for new
students and another year at Hogwarts. though, the school is no longer be the same without dumbledore,
professor mcgonagall plans on continuing the school in his image with a few extra out of class activities.

'welcome to hogwarts, during our start-of-term feast we will be holding the sorting ceremony for
all of the first-year students. through some magical process, a sentient artefact called the sorting
hat is placed on each pupils head and senses that student's potential, inclinations, and possibly
even a glimpse of the future, and will declare the most suitable house for them. during, this
ceremony i want all second years and up to be at your house tables and on your upmost behavior,
but don't forget to have fun and give a warm welcome to our new students once sorted.'

students
a student is any child being educated at hogwarts. it requires nothing more than enrollment in
the school.

perfects
a prefect is a student who has been given extra authority and responsibilities by the head of
house or headmistress. one male and one female student are chosen from each house in their
fifth year to act as prefects, and continue to be prefects in their sixth and seventh years until
they leave school.

head boy & head girl
the head boy and head girl are two seventh year students who are, in essence, the heads of
each houses student body. they have all of the same duties and powers as a prefect, as well
as additional responsibilities and authority, as assigned by the headmistress. it is their job to
organize the prefects and provide them leadership when needed. each year, both a head boy
and head girl are selected from the seventh years of each house. usually, they are selected
from the existing prefects, but not always.

{- these positions are fcfs -}

those sorted in to gryffindor house tend
to exemplify courage, daring, nerve
and chivalry and are usually regarded
as brave, sometimes to the point of
reckless behavior. Some view their
actions as "pointless heroics" or "self-
righteous and arrogant, with no
regard for rules". but to the most
spirited gryffindors, doing what is
right is more important than doing
what is allowed.

the inclusive hufflepuff house tends to
accept hard working, friendly and loyal
students. they are not a competitive
house, but rather, tend to be a great
deal more modest in their accomplish-
ments. valuing neutrality, they are
considered most diverse house when it
comes to the lineage of students. for
this reason students that don't really
fit in the other houses are accepted
into hufflepuff.

those with intelligence, a desire to learn,
and often wisdom beyond their years are
called to ravenclaw. intellect, wit, and
curiosity are all traits one could describe
any member of this house. they tend to
be people that are academically moti-
vated and very talentd students. as a
result, they are often very proud when
it comes to academic achievements,
and have been known to backstab one
another (and likely other students) in
order to get the top marks.

{ i know this looks like a lot but these are just here for a basic idea of regulations. }

hogwarts is a boarding school filled with roughly a thousand students, each and every one of them
carrying a dangerous weapon. as such, there are strict rules in place to keep order and maintain
discipline. these rules will not always be consistently applied, as different hogwarts faculty
members may have differing interpretations of them, and may even play favorites — they are still
human beings, after all. that said, any rule-breaking by students risks disciplinary action.

- students are required to maintain appearances and dress in the school’s
traditional robes and pointed hats. the only exceptions are holidays, and while outside
of school grounds, such as trips to hogsmeade.

- butterbeer is not allowed on school grounds. only fourth and fifth years are
allowed butterbeer during visits to hogsmeade. this is because drinking over a certain
amount can decrease inhibitions in humans, and especially in house elves. outside of
special events or gatherings like the yule ball, butterbeer remains unavailable to
students on campus.

- it is forbidden to approach the the whomping willow tree. this tree is a rare,
yet highly violent species of flora found in the wizarding world. this tree was made
off limits after a student was seriously injured while testing his courage.

- violence between students is strictly prohibited unless and is only permitted
in an official duel

- students can not leave campus without faculty permission.
---{ must have permission slip from parent or guardian }

- students are forbidden from faculty areas. This includes the kitchen, faculty lounge,
and offices, unless with the escort or written permission of a faculty member. this also
includes classrooms when a class is not in session.

- prefects may enter faculty areas if investigating another student violating this rule.
Access to common rooms and dormitories is strictly controlled.

- students may not enter the common rooms or dormitories of houses other than their
own. each common room has a protective measure in place to restrict access. the gryffindor
tower and slytherin dungeon require passwords. ravenclaw tower requires the answer to a
riddle. The hufflepuff basement requires tapping a specific barrel in a particular rhythm.
attempts to bypass these protective measures by members of other houses are considered
serious offences.

- boys may not enter the girls' dormitories. attempts to do so will trigger spells
preventing it, such as a slide spell on the staircases in the gryffindor and ravenclaw rooms.
the one exception to this is a prefect in an emergency.

- students must be in their dormitories by curfew. 10:00 PM for first years. 11:00 PM
for second and third years. 12:00 PM for fourth years and up. students may not leave their
house common rooms until 6:00 AM.

- prefects may be out of bed after hours if they are scheduled for patrol duty. Prefects
must still remain within the castle during patrols.

- the forbidden forest (a.k.a. the dark forest) is expressly forbidden to students without
a faculty escort.

- swimming or boating in the black Lake is prohibited without faculty or prefect
supervision.

- the restricted section of the library is roped off and forbidden to students, unless they present
a signed note from a professor.
{ some notes will be for a specific book, some are for a specific subject. but students are never
given free access to every book in the restricted section. }

- books from the restricted section may not be removed from the restricted section. books must
be taken to one of the desks provided in the section.

- students who become animagi must register Or face jail time. this skill is incredibly powerful,
and any student that becomes an animagus must register with the ministry of magic or face jail time.
{ the reason for such severe restrictions is because animagi possess unique abilities that other wizards
don't. one of which is the ability to avoid detection even by wizards and magical beings such as dementors.

{ OOC NOTES - rules are made to be broken but be aware that It's easier to get away with minor things,
and any major or obvious infractions can lead to losing house points, and likely detention. repetitive
rule-breaking can lead to more serious discipline. if you do decided to break rule or two please inform
everyone via discussion thread. also only i can take or give house points (maybe mini-mod if i need one)
also, note that class scenes don't necessarily have to be run by staff. there is plenty of opportunity in
classes for RP that doesn't involve someone actively playing a professor. Feel free to pose professors in
the background for class scenes.}

Full Name -- Seneca Rea Erzulie
Gender -- female
Age -- 16
Birthday -- May 2nd
Sexuality -- Heterosexual
Blood Type -- pureblood
House -- hufflepuff
Quidditch Position -- seeker
Wand -- Reasonably Supple, 11' Alder wood
with phoenix feather core
Patronus -- wolf. though she has yet to find
this out.




History --Seneca Rea Erzulie was born in the Ezulie family’s English Estate to Arabella Peverell nee Hartridge
and Wulfric Fontain Erzulie. The Erzulie's are a reasonably wealthy pureblood family, perhaps most notable
for their contribution in magical research in the wizarding world. Her father is a respected member of the
Ezulie family whose place on the family’s hierarchy was fairly high, while her mother is the eldest daughter,
and second child, of the Hartridge patriarch. Seneca's father works as head researcher at the department
of mysteries, unfortunately his studies are unheard of due to the secrecy and confidentiality of the
department. Her mother is an auror assigned to protect magical creatures and their habitats. Seneca's
father's job made it hard for him to spend time with his family, and as a result, her mother had to take leave
of her job three years ago when her brother Magnus was born to ensure her child has proper care ad training.

Arabella is a very devoted pureblood, ascribing to their traditions and beliefs. She is very committed to her
children, although her focus had mostly lied within Magnus due to his status of not only being her first born
but also being the only boy out of her children. While she doted on her son and made sure to teach him all
he had to know about being the heir to the Erzulie family; she taught her daughter to be a proper housewife
and to keep the values of the pureblood close to heart. It was clear that her mother highly favored her son,
although it barely put a dent in the siblings’ relationship. Magnus had always been a dutiful son and brother,
being protective over his little sister and often playing games with her and giving her the attention that
she needed.

Still, Seneca found other ways to spend her time. She often visited the library, marveling at various books on
mythical creatures. She also enjoyed reading various fictional books, primarily from the magical world, as
she saw it as a temporary escape from reality and into a new and interesting world with vibrant characters.
This is around the time Seneca found she had an affinity for animals, both mythical and non-mythical. It
didn't take long for Seneca to decided that she wanted to travel and care for mythical creatures of all sorts.
Her mother however, was not fond of the idea but figured it was just a faze. She encouraged Seneca to pick
up the cello in hope that it may change her thoughts on travel. As much as Seneca enjoyed learning the
instrument and bonding with her mother, her dreams remind the same. Eventually, Arabella gave up on
changing her daughters mind, as long as Magnus remained the heir of the family.

Things suddenly changed on Magnus’ seventh birthday. After days, and then weeks of failing to perform any
kind of magic, a possibility arose that he might not have had any magical talent within him. This would be
proven true after another year where he couldn’t attempt any kind of magic no matter how hard he tried.
This revelation caused tension in the family, as they all knew what having a squib meant for them and their
reputation. This caused a lot of problems for not only Magnus but Seneca as well as she quickly became the
last hope for Arabella to keep up the family legacy. Though Seneca had spent most of her time reading
anything she could about magic from an early age it was not enough to make up for all the time Arabella
spent teaching her brother. Thus, determined to make up for the lost time, she held Seneca under a tight
leash, teaching the same lessons to her as she did Magnus, however, she heavily criticized any mistakes the
young girl made. Her mother forced her to forget any notion of handling mythical creatures as Seneca now
needed to focus on magic and preparation of Seneca being the next heir of the Erzulie family.

At first her teaching included basic magical theory and history of magic with a particular focus on the
politics of magical Britain. Seneca was also taught horse riding by members of the estates staff and her
mother arranged for tutors in French and Latin. The latter was deemed an essential pursuit as most spells
were rooted in the language and according to her parents, it was essential if she was to follow her father
into the field of research. Eventually, Seneca showed several signs of magic once her seventh birthday
arrived. Her first instance of magic occurred as she was setting the dishes on the table for dinner, and one
cup had fallen from her grasp. Instead of shattering on the ground, it managed to levitate a few
centimeters off the ground. Since then, she learned how to keep her magic, along with her emotions, in
control until she could go to a proper school and freely practice being her true self but in secret, Seneca
continued to teach herself how to handle and care for mythical creatures from books and the few stories
from her mother about her work.

When Seneca first arrived at Hogwarts, she was mesmerized by the sight of Hogwarts during their boat
journey across the black lake. She tried to remain outwardly composed to her boatmates but was not
successful as she had not been able to leave their families estate until now. From the moment classes
began it was clear the pureblood was a talented student particularly in the fields of Charms,
Transfiguration, and Potions. It was not long before she discovered she was able to spot the golden snitch
and pursued Quidditch. Not only was Seneca a naturally gifted young wizard, but the thought of her
mothers disappointment was enough motivation she needed to use this talent to excel. She needed to
prove to Arabella that she was capable of being an heir the woman could be proud of, despite the fact she
wasn’t the original heir she wanted to see inherit the families estates.

Seneca chose Ancient Runes and (of course) Care for Mythical Creatures as her electives upon reaching
third year. The pureblood heir quickly grew to love Care for Mythical Creatures and her affinity for
creatures aided her immensely in this class allowing her to surpass others quickly here. Ancient Runes on
the other hand was the first subject she truly struggled with. Despite her fluency in multiple languages she
lacked a talent for the subject barely able to form the most basic of runes. Unfortunately for the
Hufflepuff it was too late to switch subjects meaning she would just have to persevere. Most of her spare
time was spent practicing her dueling skills both privately (when she needed to practice a spell away from
the eyes of others) and with others when she wanted someone to practice with.

Seneca's fifth year was a tense and stressful time with most of it spent in the library studying for her
O.W.L's. This stress manifested in the form of troubling dreams as the month of May approached. One of
these dreams had involved her sleeping in and missing a pivotal exam, while another involved becoming
naked in the middle of an exam. They were cliché dreams, but to one as obsessed with appearances as she,
they were downright terrifying. Thankfully for the young pureblood her O.W.L's progressed smoothly and
she received a set of grades she and her parents could be proud of, except for the annoying Average in
Ancient Runes. The fact she suspected she barely scraped a pass made the hurt even worse.

Personality -- Seneca is a little difficult to pin down to one too many labels. Perhaps
'Whirlwind' describes her best, as she seems only to sweep people up into her life whether or not they
particularly want to be in it. She has a bright, cheerful personality with a somewhat charming wit and seems
to revel in the company of others. Rarely unkind she can be sarcastic and enjoys her own brand of theatrics,
but can often detect if she's upsetting someone or when to stand down and isn't too prideful to apologize,
though do not think this means she doesn't have enough self confidence and dare I say ego to fill a pool with.
She possesses and extraordinary sense of empathy for others and has never once had issues standing in
another's shoes, this sometimes makes her feel like her emotions tend to overflow unlike others. Seneca has
always been the girl who could see the best in everything. Whether you want to call it childish naivety or a
cheerful optimism depends on your opinion. To her, everything from people to creatures, they have some
good in them. You just have to open your eyes and look for it.

Seneca prides herself in being a good seeker, and she is emotionally drawn to those whose goodness must be
sought beneath the surface. She loves an underdog, and especially loves being the one to help their cause.
Because of this, she often finds herself mingling with those others would call the wrong crowd. She has a
strong moral compass, but because she assumes the best of people, they often think they take advantage of,
hurt or betray her. What they don't know is she is rather strong-willed and will continue to try and cultivate
the good in others, no matter the toil. Seneca is also known to hold incredibly long grudges, and she will take
them to the grave if needed, this is only under immense circumstances because she can be very accepting of
just about anyone and anything. For those who take the time to get to know her, you may just make a friend
for life.

Due to her incredible sense of loyalty, Seneca is the one to go to when you need to talk to somebody or if you
have a secret that you desperately want to get off of your chest, but you don't want it getting out to the rest
of the school. She will keep her mouth glued shut when it comes to your secrets because she doesn't believe
in gossip and understands the true value of a promise. You can always count on her to keep to her word. She
values others and will always stick up for those in need weather its stepping in when ones being bullied or if
they need help with a subject she's confident in, she'll always be willing to assist in some way or another.
Sometimes, she has to hold herself back after realizing she's overfilled her plate, and can exhaust herself.

Although Seneca is often very confident and always seems happy, it's easy for her to forget about her own
needs, considering she often puts them aside in order to help others. Because she constantly wants to make
others feel good, she can sometimes neglect the process of self-care and this can lead to her feeling exhausted
and depressed. The pureblood is still learning about the importance of self-care and has actually struggled
with being little too nice and giving at times. Some people might think it's impossible for someone to be
"too nice" and that being this way shouldn't be considered a negative trait, but oftentimes it can be. If
someone is too polite all of the time no matter what, it often means they are unwilling to involve themselves
in conflicting situations, even if the conflict goes against their beliefs. She can be a very passionate and
complicated person but will always internalize her conflicts as to not upset anyone else. Everyday she is trying
harder to understand that, no one is cheery 24/7 and it's important for her to realize that she is allowed to be
honest with herself and her values.

Though hufflepuff's tend to lack house pride, Seneca believes that the house colors should be flown with pride
and more hufflepuff's should step up and rightfully claim their yellow stripes once more. Of course she's well
ware that a majority trait for hufflepuffs are modesty, which means this may be a dream of hers for sometime.
She is a very hard worker and is very determination as she progresses through the school years. Seneca found
she can be very independent and after pushing herself she's to managed to become capable of performing a
wide range of magic with ease, except for Ancient Runes where she is lacking in skill.

Full Name -- Lucius (LOO-shih-uhs) Astasia Locklear
Gender -- Male
Age -- 17
Birthday -- October 18th
Sexuality -- Heterosexual
Blood Type -- pureblood
House -- Slytherin
Quidditch Position -- not in quidditch
Wand -- Solid, 13 1/2" Ebony/Purpleheart
wood with demiguise hair core
Patronus -- Lynx




History -- Lucius was born in Dún Laoghaire near Dublin to Fintan and Eithne Locklear. His father had a
career in professional dueling as a young man, before settling down to continue the Locklear family
business in real estate, construction and magical augmentation to wizarding dwellings. His mother was
a quite controversial women for her time, having qualified as a curse breaker and frequently being
away from home while Lucius was a young child. In her absence, his time would be spent with his
paternal grandparents, Pádraig and Muireann. His grandfather Pádraig, was a passionate horseman and
as a result Lucius spent a lot of time outdoors with him and grew very fond of riding. His grandmother
Muireann, on the other hand, was a great patron of the arts and crafts, collecting paintings, jewelry
and gothic novels. She would often read to Lucius who as always intrigued by the fantastical and
imaginary journeys that she could take him on.

When he was 8 years old, his younger brother Declan was born. Lucius didn’t care too much for baby
Declan who was loud, annoying and stole away what little attention he got from his parents. In turn,
this caused him to grow even closer with his grandparents. When it was time for Lucius to enroll in
school, Pádraig gifted his grandson an heirloom wand that had been in the possession of the family for
generations. It was made from Ebony and Purpleheart wood with a core of demiguise hair. The handle
has been crafted with beautiful crystal inlays, making it a very fancy and artistic piece, but not
necessarily a very suitable one for an 11 year old boy. In his first and second year at school, Lucius
struggled to make any friends. Being quiet, studious and rubbish at flying, didn’t make him one of the
more popular kids in the Slytherin house, as a matter of fact, he could be considered at the bottom of
the social ladder. He didn't mins that as it gave him more time to himself and allowed him to focus on
his studies. He did exceptionally well with his written assignments, but somewhat struggled with his
wand work, not yet having mastered the family heirloom he had been given. It was defiantly too long
and just terribly unwieldy.

Determined to catch up on his casting, Lucius practiced continuously and would study, practice or
duel with anyone who was willing to give him the time of day. For a while he “lived” in the school
library working with students from all houses in a quest to get better. During a practice duel with a
mate an unfortunate incident occurred involving a miscast charm, falling and getting his wand stuck
in his eye. As a result, he suffered some humiliation, teasing from his fellow students and due to the
damage of his eye, his pupil was like a quill point and has never been entirely right since. The injury
has put a strain on his eye sight making it all the more difficult for him to see anything properly. This
has set him back a bit but and he had to learn a charm to help him see at times.

In the years that followed, Lucius seemed to come into his own. A growth long waited spurt seemed to
finally make him tall enough to wield his elegant heirloom wand effectively. He started to achieve better
results in the practical portion of his studies and as a result developed a little bit more self-confidence.
Missing home, spending time outside and his horse, Lucius would spend long hours exploring the school
grounds and becoming familiar with every blade of grass. He had a favorite spot beside the lake, where
he could often be found doing his homework, writing or trying his hand at poetry. During the school
holidays he would often spend some time with his brother Declan, and not necessarily voluntarily, but
because his parents insisted upon it. Declan was a quite different personality, outgoing and sporty, so the
two brothers didn’t have a lot of common ground but none the less Lucius did what he could to get along
with his brother.

Personality -- Lucius is an intelligent, extremely sensitive and introverted young man. He
likes reading books more than anything; be it academic texts or poetry, either is equally enjoyable to him.
Having been raised in a pureblood family, he had a lot of exposure to art and culture. He likes to draw
and enjoys listening to music – though not an accomplished musician himself. Being the oldest of his
siblings, and prospective heir to the family business and family fortune, Lucius was raised to be
well-spoken, courteous, polite, thoughtful and patient. As far as his patience is concerned, he sometimes
still struggles with that.

Lucius is also an observant and calculating individual. He is quick to pick up on the social nuances
surrounding him and every word spoken and every action taken by others is analyzed for potential deeper
meaning. He tends to come across as aloof and maybe a touch arrogant. In truth, he still feels a bit
awkward in his body and in his position. For that reason, he sometimes finds the company of his horse,
Lord Fenian, more enjoyable than the company of people. He has a fraught and problematic relationship
with his mother, which has at times produced some rebellious behavior typical of a teenager: being late
to class, not writing home on time, or ruining a set of expensive robes while out with his horse.

Lucius had found many opportunities for learning at Hogwarts fascinating, but not in any thorough or
systematic way. He'd spent time in the library dipping in and out of books as the fancy took him, and he
had a similarly haphazard time in his studies - no one individual subject or facet of learning piqued his
interest thoroughly. His appetite, as it were, wasn't for a single large meal, but a bite from each of two
dozen courses.

Ultimately Lucius's personality can be summed up as 'plenty of natural talent but no passion to excel': he
has a natural curiosity for the world and everything in it, with a relatively natural ability to understand
how the various pieces connect together, and even occasional inspiration to try things a little differently,
but no strong desire to necessarily do anything with it. He had some vague notions of his life
post-Hogwarts travelling around the world with his grandparents to see all the things out there - maybe
as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts, but he figured he had a while to study things and see what else might
come along in the meantime.

❦ Ahmad is an absolute tiny
chaos gremlin. He's got a
competitive streak a mile
wide, and is hot-tempered.
His wand is Dogwood, Dragon
core, 9" and springy.
❦ Short. So very short. He's
only around 157cm tall
(just under 5'2").
❦ His parents aren't all that
short... Maybe he'll just hit
a late growth spurt? That's
what he keeps telling people
anyways. It's a sore subject
because he's especially short
for a chaser. His reach isn't
long, but he's very fast.
❦ Ahmad is a 5th year, and
100% already having testing
anxiety about OWLs. Never
mind that it's the start of the
year, time to stress!

❦ His favorite subject is Herbology, followed closely
by Potions. Currently he's considering a career as
some sort of poisons/potions specialist, probably
for the Aurors or Ministry.
❦ Alchemy is his favorite elective. He does also
take Care of Magical Creatures, but is a
notorious class-skipper, often only coming in to
see "dangerous" (poisonous) animals. A bit (lot)
afraid of hippogrifs.
❦ Spent most of his time indoors, which is why he is
so pale. If he'd actually go outside, he'd get tan
quick.
❦ A hot-tempered and stubborn he may be, but
Ahmad is also unwaveringly loyal. Subtleties are
not his forte, can sometimes miss information
meant to be gathered by reading between the lines.
❦ Thinks it would be cool to learn to be an
animagus, but lacks the discipline, and probably
would try to dodge registration.
❦ Absolute "annoying baby sibling" vibes. Will
follow his friends around being annoying.
❦ Has a Boreal Owl, her name is Fawcett.

Carolina Lorelei Olivarius was born in London 16 years ago on July 23rd to a pureblood British wizard named Prospero Olivarius and a pureblood German witch named Lorelei Olivarius (nee Wolffe). Carolina is a French name that is believed to have two different meanings: "free man" and "song of happiness or joy." Lorelei is a Germanic name meaning "alluring enchantress." Olivarius is a Latin surname meaning olive tree planter. Olive trees are a symbol of peace and friendship in Greek mythology. Prospero got to pick her first name and being the first girl of the bunch, she was knighted with her mother's name as her middle name. On top of her and her parents, the Olivarius contained 2 more girls and a boy.

Carolina is a spunky, feisty girl. She was always told growing up she's a lot like her mother. She is a very lively person. She almost floats when she walks and talks animatedly with her hands. She's always trying to make people smile or laugh, no matter what she's doing. When she isn't doing something, Carolina gets quite fidgety. She needs to be active 24/7. She's courageous and loyal to a fault. She will do anything to protect her family and friends, no matter what it might mean for her. In that respect, she is always told that she is a lot like her father. She is a very creative person and is usually found humming a lot. A lot of the time, it's without prompting. She isn't quick to anger like her mother and her family, but when she does anger, it's catastrophic. She can become extremely brutal and doesn't care. She's very blunt. She tells it like it is, but is the realest person you could ever meet. Like her father, she is very sensitive towards other people's emotions and feels the need to take the weight of the world on her shoulders for everyone else. When she feels there is an injustice, she feels the need to stand up for said person, a lot like her father. Despite her seemingly oozing confidence, she really has none. Fake it 'til you make it, as she says.

As stated, Carolina was born to the Olivarius family, the youngest of four kids. Her family consisted of her father Prospero (a curse breaker), her mother Lorelei (an auror), her two older sisters Adella and Laurissa and her older brother Lucian. Adella was the same age and in the same year as Harry Potter, and she unfortunately died in the Battle of Hogwarts along with their mother. Laurissa was 3 years her junior, Lucian was 3 years her junior, and Carolina was 3 years his junior. When her sister died, Carolina was still the tender age of 6. The loss affected her family greatly, but Carolina was determined to not let her family sink into depression. She also swore to herself she'd make her sister and mom proud and be the best student she could be.

When she was 11, it was Carolina's turn to get her wand and school things for the first time. With wonder, she walked around Diagon Alley. Even though she had been there plenty of times over the years, this was different. She was receiving her own school supplies. She drooled over things in the shop windows as always and ended up at Ollivander's. It took a couple tries, but she eventually gained her wand: elm wood with a phoenix feather core, reasonably supple and 10". As it was also her birthday, her parents got her a beautiful tawny owl, which she named Hildegard. She was sent off to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express with her older brother and sisters and was excited to start her journey, where she was sorted into Gryffindor.

Carolina worked hard to get good marks in her classes, though her specialties were Defense and Charms. She struggled a bit with Potions, but was pretty good with Transfiguration. Her extra classes were Care for Magical Creatures and Frog Choir. Sure, Frog Choir wouldn't help her as an auror, but she wanted to join for fun. She was rather popular in school, mostly because of her easy-going attitude she puts on all the time. Despite this, she's close to very few. She doesn't trust people as much as she did before the war. Fifth year, she discovered her patronus: a fox. She also learned she would be a prefect and her family was ecstatic for her. She was definitely making her sister proud. She is now a 6th year.

Carolina's wand is elm wood with a phoenix feather core, reasonably supple and 10". Elm wood wands are sophisticated wands. They produce the fewest accidents and the most elegant charms and spells. They can produce advanced magic in the right hand. Phoenix feather cores are the most rare type of wand core and learn the most varied magic, making the user flexible in their abilities. Her patronus is a fox. Associated with cunning, the fox has a place in many ancient cultures’ folklore. Foxes are sometimes thought to be tricksters, leading the unsuspecting down a path of demise. The calculating fox can outwit its enemies with strategy and adaptability. They are quick witted, intelligent, and strongly ambitious. Despite this, foxes are actually quite lovable and charismatic.

Carolina is fairly tall, standing at 5'9. She shares her father's looks: red hair, pale skin, and green eyes, the only of her siblings to inherit the red hair, though hers is wavy rather than straight. Her mother had long curly brown hair and green eyes, so she got the green eyes from both of her parents. Her height came from her father's family. She is fairly thin, but muscular from years of training.

Sigmund William Jones was born 16 years ago to a Scottish muggle woman named Olivia, and an Australian muggle man named William, wealthy business owners. Sigmund was chosen by Olivia. It is a Germanic name meaning "victory" or "protector". William is a name that is a compound of two words: 'Wil' meaning "will/desire", and 'helm', which means "helmet/protection". He was the only child. Sigmund only has two nicknames: one reserved for his family only and one reserved for his friends only. The one reserved for his family is Siggy, though only his mother and younger cousins call him this. The one reserved for his friends is one the rest of his family calls him as well, which is Sig. If you do not fall under either of those categories, you are only allowed to call him Sigmund.

Sigmund is a complex character. He was sorted into Ravenclaw and can act like a Ravenclaw, but some might have put him into Slytherin. He is a very ambitious person and can be cunning at times, though not much. He is a very creative person and has a lot of intelligence and wit, which won him into Ravenclaw. He is a friendly guy, though he's quite reserved most of the time. He can be your best friend or your worst enemy. There is no in between for this guy. Most of the time, people are his friends. His flaws are his pride in his intelligence and wit and his unwillingness to bend to anyone's will. That can also be a strength, but it makes it hard for him to relate to other people. He loves deeply, even though he struggles to show it from time to time. He will probably show his affection and gratitude in ways of making something for you, usually handmade crafts. He is analytical, calculating, and independent.

Sigmund was born to his parents William and Olivia Jones 16 years ago on February 2nd. He was the only child of the two and they were quite fine with that. He had a lovely childhood, though things started to get weird as he got older. He would seemingly disappear and reappear in different places, glass would shatter if he was angry, his father woke up with blue hair one day, and the list went on and on. Because of this, Sigmund's parents decided to homeschool him. He was quite intelligent growing up, quickly going through his school materials. He was drawn to shows, movies, and books about wizards/witches/witchcraft. His parents found it odd, but they didn't think more on the subject.

When he was 11, a woman showed up at the front door. It was an older looking woman. She was weary and tired, but she held a smile regardless. She wore dark green robes with cateye glasses and a black hat on her head. She walked with dignity and grace and something drew the young wizard to her. She asked if his parents were William and Olivia Jones. After confirming, they invited her in, finding they could trust her. They made her tea and she settled into the couch, where she introduced herself as Minerva McGonagall, the headmistress at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It took quite a bit of convincing on McGonagall's part to explain that magic was real and their son was indeed a wizard, but after a while, things started making sense.

Sigmund and his parents were whisked off to Diagon Alley, where they were introduced to Prospero, Laurissa, Lucian, and Carolina Olivarius, a Pureblood family. He found that Carolina was going to Hogwarts for the first time, as well, and that they would show them around Diagon Alley. He was fascinated with the wizarding world. It was everything he dreamed of and more. They had taken him first to Gringotts, the wizarding bank, where he opened a vault. They had to exchange their muggle currency for wizarding money and they even left enough in his vault to last him a couple years. His favorite part, however, was getting his wand. larch wood with a dragon heartstring core, supple, 11". Throughout his shopping in Diagon Alley, he couldn't take his eyes off his wand. He was also presented a barn owl named Casimir.

On September 1st, he was shown how to get on the platform by the Olivarius family and sat with Carolina on the train. He was nervous, as expected, but also excited for the journey ahead. He got to know Carolina and found that there had been a wizarding war 7 years prior and both her mother and her oldest sister were killed. He was given a briefing on the events throughout the war and was quite overwhelmed by the time he got to the school. He was sorted into Ravenclaw, which Carolina told him values intelligence, creativity, wit, and wisdom and even though she had known him quite briefly, she could tell he would do well in the house. Sigmund found his favorite class to be potions and his weakest to be transfiguration, though he did well regardless. Unlike the half-bloods and purebloods, Sigmund found himself quite interested in History of Magic. His second year, he made it onto the Quidditch team as seeker. His fifth year, he found his patronus to be an owl, which he found fit very well.

Sigmund's wand is a larch wood wand with a dragon heartstring core, supple, 11". Larch wood is highly sought after for being strong and durable, but it doesn't work for just anybody. Wizards or witches with this wand wood don't know their full potential until they are paired with it and creates wands of hidden talents. Dragon heartstring cores are paired with wizards or witches who catch onto magic easily, but the wand is easily won over in a life or death duel. His patronus is an owl, which symbolize wit and intelligence. This patronus gives the wizard or witch the ability to not care about what other people say about them and a freedom you can only witness with it.

Sigmund is tall standing at 6'2. He shares his mother's blond hair and his father's blue eyes. His build is muscular, but not overly so.
