Main Characters 

Harry Potter - Needs no explanation. His life sucks. But it’s about to get better. Well, eventually. Also, really wants to get to know the handsome, silent Slytherin. AS FRIENDS! Honest! That’s going to happen sooner than you think Harry! Narrator: it’s already happened.

Theo Nott - Handsome, silent Slytherin in Harry’s year. Draco’s Best Friend/Brother, Luna’s Godbrother and whether Harry wants to admit it or not, Harry’s crush. Certified genius. Fluent in several languages. Runes prodigy. Hates his Father, Tiberius. For reasons. Massive amounts of childhood trauma. Will deal with it later. Maybe. He’s kind of busy. Also, Hermione’s academic rival. In her mind anyway. She hates him. He hasn’t noticed. He’s kind of busy.

Draco Malfoy - Bigoted bully in his youth. Not so much now. Needs explanation but it may be a while before you get it.

Luna Lovegood - The most perfect cinnamon roll to ever exist in fiction. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Neville Longbottom - Almost as precious as Luna. Harry should have chosen him as his BFF. We’ll fix that.

Sirius Black - Former bully and mentally unstable Godfather of one Harry Potter. Vows to do better, and will, once Poppy is finished healing him. Also, spent time in broom closets with just about every guy and girl at Hogwarts except for the one he really wanted. See below.

Amelia Bones - My queen. Hufflepuff and proud of it. Pulled out of time just before Voldemort kills her. Loves law and order and her niece Susan. Loves Sirius Black… but not that way. Or so she claims. Planning on arresting anyone who has ever wronged Harry Potter. We’re going to need a bigger prison. Seriously considering killing Minister Fudge once they return.

Augusta Longbottom - Potential queen. Though she’s going to need to sort her shit out before being crowned. Girls got trauma and has been taking it out on Neville. That ends now. Was in the same Hogwarts year as Minerva McG and several others in the chamber. 

Arcturus Black - 97 years old and feeling a bit bitter about that. Pulled out of his self-imposed exile by Lady Magic. A tad resentful about that. People are annoying. Ready to take an AK for Harry before the first chapter is finished. Even more ready to cast one. Still, he’s a Black. They’re more subtle than that, Sirius aside. Secretly plotting with Andromeda to destroy anyone who has even thought about harming Harry.

Kingsley Shacklebolt - With the greatest respect to the delightful George Harris, my Kingsley fancast is Idris Elba. Because, OMG. Former Slytherin. BFFs with Gawain Robards. Discretely drooling over Allegra Zabini. Hopes no one has noticed. Narrator: They have but they’re too polite to say anything, yet. 

Allegra Zabini - Born in England but fully embraced the Country of her first husband, Blaise’s father, who died in a tragic accident when Blaise was 2. Contrary to popular belief did not murder all five of her husbands. She only murdered one of them. And only because he hit Blaise. Nobody hurts her son. Is not even remotely looking for husband number six although, accidenti that Kingsley is figo!

Gawain Robards - Former Slytherin. As Welsh as one can get. Looks a lot like Michael Sheen. Not sure how that happened. Madly in love with Narcissa since Hogwarts. Knew Theo’s Grandparents well. One of the Aurors assigned to investigate Theo’s mum’s murder. Knew in his gut that Tiberius did it, couldn’t prove it. Couldn’t convince anyone to investigate further. Has never forgotten the look on small Theo’s face as he apparated out of Nott Castle.

Narcissa Malfoy - In love with Gawain since Hogwarts. Forced to marry Lucius when Andromeda ran off with Ted. Not even remotely angry about it though because, Draco. Well, still angry but not at Andromeda. Loves her son more than life itself. Loves Theo slightly more. BFFs with Lillian Nott, nee Selwyn at Hogwarts. Knows who killed her and knows who helped cover it up. Can’t do anything about it…yet. Wanted half a dozen children, may actually get her wish. Hoping Gawain will help her out with that once they rid the world of Lucius.

Remus Lupin - Hates himself more than he loves Harry. Hates himself more than he loves Tonks. Seems to have completely forgotten about Teddy. Weird. Will not enjoy these books. May get Dobby to teach him about self-punishment. Will Lady Magic be able to snap him out of it? Let’s hope so. He’s a good man, he just needs convincing of that.

Cyrus Greengrass - Daphne and Astoria’s Dad. Bit of a non-entity right now but will be important later. Neutral during both wars but funded Voldie during the second to protect his family. 

Saul Croaker - Former Ravenclaw. Looks exactly like Tom Hiddleston. Weird coincidence right? Head of the DOM. Genius. Madly in love with Elladora Travers nee Avery though that would likely be news to her as he never actually told her.

Elladora Travers nee Avery - Granddaughter of one of the original followers of Voldie. Father was just as bad and sold her off to Sebastian Travers. Has twins in the same year as Harry. Oliver, a Ravenclaw and Arabella, a Slytherin.

Molly Weasley - screeches incoherently. 

Arthur Weasley - Slowly coming to realize that while hiding in his shed may be good for his sanity it is not good for his children.

Andromeda Tonks - Still a Black, regardless of what the tapestry says. Internally seething, externally politely disdainful. Listing all the ways to murder people in her head.

Ted Tonks - Knows exactly what Andromeda is thinking. Both aroused and terrified. Fully prepared to help bury the bodies.

Ingram Burke - Father of Astoria’s boyfriend Ignatius, a Ravenclaw in Luna’s year. Not a DE but supportive of Riddle’s original goals, before he went insane and started killing people.

Severus Snape - Is about to realize just how wrong he’s been. Is not happy about it. Angst ahead. Draco’s Godfather and may as well be Theo’s. 

Richard Granger - Furious and confused.

Jean Granger - See above

Nymphadora Tonks - Hasn’t realized that she’ll be 18 and still at Hogwarts when they return. And that Remus will be…shit. 31. Seriously? Perhaps I should rethink this. But, Teddy! Shit! 

Alastor Moody - I’m too old for this shit. Dude, you’re only 43. Well, I feel old. 

Albus Dumbledore - The bad guy. No question. Well, he has questions. Several. Feeling really attacked right now. Boggart is obviously Amelia Bones.

Minerva McGonagall - Has made some really bad choices. No biscuits for you! Still kind of awesome though. I may give you a biscuit later. After you beg Harry for forgiveness.

Filius Flitwick - Made of all things awesome. Still, mistakes were made. It was your job to protect Luna!

Pamona Sprout - Has adopted Neville in her head. 

Poppy Pomfrey - Is so done! People can explain what happened to them from a hospital bed Albus! 

Rubeus Hagrid - Cannot keep a secret to save his life. Doesn’t think things through. Way too trusting. Loves Harry more than Norbert…a. 

Susan Bones - Future Queen. Takes no shit. Not even from snotty blonde princes. Knows Draco is smitten. She is too but who’s got time for that shit? Besides, we’re going to be 11 again. 

Daphne Greengrass - Ice Princess in public. Marshmallow in private. Had a thing for Neville since the Yule Ball. Loves Astoria more than anything.

Blaise Zabini - You all wish you were this cool. Finds Luna absolutely delightful. Wants to marry her immediately. A little terrified to tell Theo. 

Aleksander Nott - Theo’s half-brother. 9 years old. Raised in secret by Tiberius and Dimitri (see below). Only speaks Russian and Norweigan. Luckily Theo speaks both.

Justin Finch Fletchly - Is better than Won Won.

Hermione Granger - You are not the smartest person in the room Hermione. Nor do you have to be. You’re amazing…when you’re not nagging people, forcing them to do things they don’t want to do, physically assaulting people, kidnapping reporters and keeping them in a jar, breaking into banks, wiping your parent’s memories…you know what?
