Fred Weasley | half-blood | born 1998-1999 | THE COMPLACENT

In most families someone like Fred would be considered “the good kid,” but he’s the one his parents worry about; he’s the rebel, the problem-child. All he was trying to do was distance himself from the ghost of a dead man. His mum and dad claim they only named him Fred to honor the man they lost, not to try and recapture the past -- but Fred isn’t sure they aren’t lying to themselves. At first he tried to be the person he thought they wanted but he never felt funny enough, never felt clever enough, never felt like himself enough. He tried it the other way -- following the rules, studying for tests, minding his manners -- and discovered that he liked that, liked living in a world that was structured and predictable. It’s rewarding to succeed at something because it’s logical, not because of someone else’s subjective idea of what makes a good joke. He doesn’t understand his family -- and they don’t understand him, either. He’s got his mum’s dedication but none of her humor, and the only thing of his dad he sees in himself is the rebellious streak that led him to love law and order. As for his sister and cousins, they’re so hungry for excitement that they’ll make-up impossible magics and fictional dangers as an excuse for acting-out distorted echoes of the past and that’s something Fred wants nothing to do with.

Victoria Goyle | pure-blood | born 2004-2005 | THE RESISTANCE

For the most part Victoria is proud to come from such an old bloodline, even though it’s suffered in reputation recently. The Goyle name is still deserving of respect and recognition, at least in her eyes, and if she can convince the rest of the world of that so much the better. Victoria has always been a confident girl who doesn’t need the approval of anyone else -- which is good, because she’s had to get used to holding her head up while other people look down on her, or think they know her. She doesn’t go out of her way to apologize for the presumptions of other people though; that’s their problem, not hers. Her responsibility is to be a good heir to her family name and fortune, not make-up for the shortcomings of others. She’s also got to look out for her little sister of course, but that has nothing to do with her role as heir; that’s just what family does. Recently that’s gotten trickier because Vertiline has started keeping secrets and acting-out on her own, and of course Victoria isn’t short-sighted enough to think she can ignore the problems of the whole world and still fulfill her duty to the family, so she’s been preoccupied too -- but she hasn’t forgotten Verti. She’s just busy stomping on the objections of people who think that having a grandfather in Azkaban means she’s no good to their cause.

Vertiline Goyle | pure-blood | born 2007-2008 | THE COMPLICIT

People were always surprised to find the granddaughter of a Death Eater in Gryffindor, even though you’d have to be brave to follow the Dark Lord into a war. They also figure Vertiline shares the prejudices that put her grandfather in Azkaban, even though she’s not sure what a person’s blood has to do with anything – not that anybody bothers to ask before making up their minds about her. Surprisingly, Lily Potter of all people was one of the few who ignored all that to be her friend anyway. Verti feels a little guilty for lying to Lily now, but it’s for the greater good; hopefully she’ll understand when everything’s over. Muggle-borns may not be any worse at magic than anybody else but they come from a loathsome culture. Apparently Muggles think that in order to be a “real” girl you have to be born with specific anatomy and she wasn’t. Until she got to Hogwarts, she had never heard of anybody objecting to people like her – in fact, she didn’t know that “people like her” were a thing; she’d always thought she was an ordinary witch. Being judged for stupid things soured her on Muggle culture and all those who support it but fortunately they won’t be her problem for much longer...at least as long as her sweet but misguided sister and the idiots she’s associating with don’t mess things up.

Scorpius Malfoy | pure-blood | born 2005-2006 | THE RESISTANCE

The Malfoy name is not what it used to be and Scorpius knows that, but he doesn’t have to like it. He adores his family and can’t help but resent how the rest of the world sees them: as scum, traitors, cowards, or villains...or all four at once, even. He always wanted to change that, but figured out quickly that flying well or scoring high on tests wasn’t going to be enough. Maybe helping to save the world will do it, although he thinks the others are overstating the threat a bit -- but he’s okay with that, if it will help redeem their reputation more. What he’s not okay with is the fact that his family are all under the spell, too. This is the first time in his life that Scorpius has kept a secret from his parents for longer than a school term (some things being better discussed in person than via letters, is all) and he doesn’t like it. He’s had to get used to a lot of things he dislikes over the years, not being in a position to object most of the time, but deceit within his family is something else. In a world where nobody likes a Malfoy, at least they always had each other...until now. If he didn’t have Albus and Rose at least he’d turn his back on the whole idea and go home and pretend everything’s fine. Even with them, and his snooty cousin, he still feels bereft without the unconditional support of his dad and mum.

Violet Greengrass | pure-blood | born 2006-2007 | THE RESISTANCE

Despite being vivacious and outgoing by nature, Violet knows the merits of keeping one’s head down and going unnoticed too. That’s why her mothers chose to use Daphne’s surname for themselves and their children, leaving their ties to the Parkinson family out of sight. It wasn’t because they were ashamed, and neither is Violet; they just knew life would be easier if they didn’t draw the kind of attention to themselves that the Parkinson name brought with it after the war. It enabled them to have an almost normal life, albeit a quieter and less socially-active one than either Daphne or Pansy had been planning for according to the stories they told their children. Violet often thinks her cousin, Scorpius, would have been better off if he had taken the Greengrass name too instead of having to face the world as a Malfoy, but he wouldn’t listen to her when she suggested it. He doesn’t listen to most of her advice, and the fact that he only agreed to help with the resistance after his beastly Weasley friends said the same things she was already saying rankles. Violet knows that she deserves more out of life than she’s gotten and while that’s certainly taught her to appreciate the value of hard work, it’s also left her resentful and defensive, yet adept at pretending not to be bothered.

Adele Spinnet-Bell | half-blood | born 1999-2000 | THE RESISTANCE

With two professional Quidditch players for parents -- one admittedly more famous than the other -- Adele sometimes feels like she was bred to fly. Her childhood consisted of going to matches, listening to matches, talking about matches, and watching her mums practice for matches. Some kids might have rebelled against all that by wanting nothing to do with the sport, but Adele can’t imagine life without Quidditch any more than she can imagine life without her mums. It surprised no one when she captained her house team to victory at Hogwarts and then went on to try-out professionally herself as soon as she graduated. Making it onto a team was harder than she’d expected, but she’s never minded hard work and the fact that it turned out to be a challenge just made it more rewarding in the end. Now she gets to be the one out there on a broomstick while her mums sit in the stands and cheer for her; she can’t imagine any better life than that. It’s like things have come full-circle, which is delightful -- in her personal life, at least; having other things circle around again is not. Adele never expected to have to take up arms in a fight to protect the whole wizarding world like her mums did when they were younger; she always wanted to follow in their footsteps, but not those footsteps!

Louis Weasley | half-blood | born 2004-2005 | THE COMPLACENT

The problem with having everyone like you is that you never know who actually likes you. Louis was warned by his sisters what he would face when he got to Hogwarts but he didn’t think it would bother him as much as it does. So many people, even his friends, think that having veela blood makes life easier because it makes you more charismatic, enchanting, and desirable than you would be on your own, but they don’t understand how much of a burden that extra charm is and how many knots and snarls it can put in your life. Louis would give just about anything to give-up his veela heritage but he’s stuck with it; he was born with it and just like his hot temper and physical grace, there’s no getting rid of the things that come from your blood. He supposes that an urge toward heroism and rebellion comes in their blood too; it’s the only explanation for why his sisters are so insistent that there’s something wrong with the world. Louis knows there’s plenty wrong of course, but he isn’t foolish enough to blame it all on some “uncanny dark magic.” It’s just people being people, and people are ugly and prejudiced and cruel -- no weird magic required. If Vic and Dom really want to make the world a better place they should stop chasing phantoms and focus on the real problems in society.

Dominique Weasley | half-blood | born 2001-2002 | THE RESISTANCE

Unlike her siblings, who viewed their veela blood as a burden more than a gift, Dominique always liked the perks of their heritage more than she lamented the problems. She was an awkward girl -- not clumsy because probably no one who’s part-veela has ever been clumsy, but awkward when it came to talking to people. She hated meeting strangers...until she realized that no matter how stupid she thought her comments had been, they couldn’t help but be charmed by her. It was liberating, not having to worry what people thought about her; she knew what they would think, and it was almost always positive. (Some were jealous, put-off instinctively by her charms, but they were the minority. She could handle being disliked by some people, especially when it wasn’t her fault.) It wasn’t until the first time she went into the Muggle world without parental supervision that she discovered first-hand that sometimes being charming was a bad thing. She wasn’t hurt -- veela blood carries a temper too -- but she was scared, and withdrew from everyone. The one good thing about this horrible spell that’s fallen on the world is that it’s forced her to climb out of her shell again. She can’t afford to be shy, or ignore any of her gifts, when there’s so much at stake. Win or lose, that should be good for her...she hopes.

Victoire Lupin | half-blood | born May 2, 2000 | THE RESISTANCE

At first Victoire thought she was going crazy; if not for Teddy being able to see both sides of the spell, and believing her unconditionally when she explained what was wrong, she might have checked herself into St. Mungo’s. It’s not like veela blood is known for a penchant toward stability and logic; that’s why Vic always takes care to examine her emotions rather than flying off the handle over every little thing. People expect her to be rash and short-tempered and it makes her angry when strangers assume they know her -- which means she had to learn to keep her temper in check to prove them wrong. When she was younger that meant being shy, quiet, and reserved; now she’s found a balance where she can let herself relax a little, be vivacious and charming without the natural charm of her veela side overpowering whoever she’s around -- and without letting her temper off the leash to terrify anyone who crosses her. She still worries sometimes that she’s letting her heart run away with her head, but she thinks she’s finally learned what her parents meant years ago when they said that sometimes, you want to let your heart be the one in control. She hopes they feel the same way when all of this is over and she has to explain why she and the others did what they did -- and who they had to do it to.

Lily Potter | half-blood | born 2007-2008 | THE RESISTANCE

Being treated like a baby isn’t new to Lily; she often feels like she’s spent her whole life trying to keep up with her brothers and convincing people to take her seriously. Having to convince her parents -- and failing -- is something new though, and she doesn’t like that one bit. Lily was always close to her mum and dad, especially after spending two years as the only kid left in the house after the boys went to Hogwarts, and even though she knows it’s because of the spell it hurts that they don’t believe her now. She tells herself it’s not their fault and they can’t help it, but that doesn’t make her feel better. Lily has always been ruled by her heart more than her head, and just because she knows something is a fact doesn’t mean it necessarily feels true. What it feels like is that her parents don’t think she’s worth listening to. She tries to play it off and pretend it doesn’t bother her -- too many of her peers already think she’s too close to her parents to be cool -- but deep down it does. She consoles herself with the thought of how great it will be when they discover who’s responsible and take them down hard, and how delighted her parents will be when she tells them what she did, but that doesn’t change how things feel now. Thank goodness she has her friends to fall back on, at least!

Albus Potter | half-blood | born 2005-2006 | THE RESISTANCE

Even though he’s the one who looks the most like their dad, right down to those green eyes that people won’t shut-up about, Albus has always felt like he fits into the Potter-Weasley family the least. He doesn’t feel like he fits in anywhere, really, and he never did. Even before he went to Hogwarts and got sorted into Slytherin he stuck-out like a sore thumb, at least in his mind. His parents told him it was just adolescent angst and it would go away in time, but Albus isn’t a teenager any more and he still feels like he’ll never find his place in the world. He always preferred brews to Bludgers and while he likes Quidditch -- it’s not possible to be Ginny’s son and not like Quidditch -- he likes other things more. He only played in school because it was a good way to make friends with his housemates, and was something he was good at that demonstrated that he did have things in common with his family...while still letting him rebel against them a bit, because all the teams he flew against had players who were family members. Rebelling was something that came naturally to Albus but it never made him feel any better; he hopes that this rebellion will be different, because it’s a lot more important. And maybe if he helps save the world it will prove that he does belong in his famous family.

James Potter | half-blood | born 2003-2004 | THE RESISTANCE

It didn’t take James very long to figure out that he wasn’t “really” a Potter. Maybe that’s why he and his dad always got along so well: Harry knew what it was like to grow up in a family where he looked “different” too -- but then again, since James’s family always took care to make sure he felt like family, maybe that’s got nothing to do with the strength of their bond. It might explain why James gave Albus such a hard time about all the ways in which he didn’t fit-in with the rest of them...or maybe that’s just how brothers are, sometimes. He does love his siblings of course, he just favors teasing over hugging and other mushy stuff; that’s something he got from his mum, not his dad. James doesn’t know exactly how things worked-out between them to cause him; all they’ve told him is that he was what helped them get through a rough patch. His mum promised never to let him date anyone he didn’t know he was related to and that’s all James really needs to know about that, he figures. Besides, he has more important things to deal with right now -- namely, saving the world. He’s looking forward to that, weird as it sounds, and not because he thinks he has something to prove; he just knows it’s something he’ll be good at, and James has always enjoyed any chance to show-off his skills.
