LILY EVANS*

PLAY BY: Jenny Lewis
BIRTH-DATE:
January 30
CONNECTIONS:
Engaged to Severus Snape, thinking about James Potter. Andromeda Black and Severus Snape- best friends. Remus Lupin and Sirius Black- friends. Petunia Evans- Older sister.
YEAR / OCCUPATION:
Sixth Year
PERSONALITY:
Extremely kind, witty, charming, gifted, intelligent
BRIEF BIO:Growing up in the town called Spinner’s End, Lily Evans became fast friends with neighborhood boy, Severus Snape who fell in love with her. He taught her about magic, and the pair dreamed about the days they were to go to Hogwarts. As children, Lily and her older sister Petunia were close, but, during the time that Petunia thought she was not a witch, the two of them drifted apart significantly. Though Petunia soon found out that she was, indeed, a witch, the two of them still aren't particularly close, though there is no ill will between them. Lily is strikingly beautiful with almond shaped brilliant green eyes. She has a sweet angelic face, and she’s far from a slut. The redhead is smart, witty, and she always finds the good in people. She wouldn’t have despised most Slytherins if it weren’t for them ridiculing her because of her blood purity, and the fact that most of them are becoming Death Eaters or doing things with the Dark Arts.

Lily was exceptionally pissed off – to put it bluntly – when Severus called her a mudblood in her fifth year. She wanted to throttle her best friend! She refused to talk to him for the rest of the year and in the time spent not around him, she began to develop slight feelings for James Potter. The only problem? Lily wished he’d just stop thinking he was a big shot! She also became closer to best friend Andromeda Black whom she met in her first year. The two almost became twins and through her – Lily began to realize there was more to her cousin, Sirius. Lily regards Remus Lupin as a good friend, and the two can talk about many things.

During the summer, Severus would not leave her alone. He continued to go over to her house and plead for her to forgive him. She had her priorities – she was done, or so she thought. Lily began to see the good in him, and her forgiving nature came out. The pair made up a few weeks into the summer, and they began to date a few days later after Snape pucked up the courage to tell her everything. That’s when Lily and Snape, age sixteen, did the unthinkable. What had been going through their mind? It was a summer kind of drug. They got engaged. Now in her sixth year, Lily is too kind to say something to Severus. She doesn’t want to hurt him, but she doesn’t want to be engaged. Especially now that she’s back in an environment with James; she’s starting to harbor feelings for him. Lily confides in Andromeda and Andromeda only with her problems. Andromeda is also the only other one who knows of her engagement. They’re both looking for evidence that Severus is training to be a Death Eater for Lily to use to break off the engagement. Severus is too clingy for her, and she doesn’t want to lead him on.

REBECCA MARIE CROSS*

PLAY BY: Kwon BoA
BIRTH-DATE: August 19
CONNECTIONS: Devon Cross- twin brother, Aiden Park- friend, Robert François Lefèvre- love interest
YEAR: Seventh
PERSONALITY: Strong, Protective, Caring, Smart, Strong-willed.
BRIEF BIO: Brandon and Melinda seemed the happiest couple out there, they had been married October of 1957. Their past had been nothing ordinary because Melinda had a habit of binge drinking and doing drugs at any moment possible, much to Brandon's heartbreak. But Brandon had been ecstatic when they married, because had had promised him she would straighten her life out and quit the drinking and drugs altogether. For the most part, she had straightened out and quit everything. However, she had her moments where she wanted to give up everything she had worked for and go back to the way she had been living, but she shrugged these moments off as weak spots in her recovery and went on living with her new husband as if she had forgotten the last 15 years of her life and remained a happy newlywed bride in their small neighborhood home.

Melinda and Brandon Cross welcomed a set of twins, a son and a daughter, to the world on 9 August, 1959, just two years after their wedding. The first born, Devon, and the younger of the two, Rebecca Marie. As Devon and Rebecca got older, they always stayed very close. Rebecca considered Devon as her best friend growing up, the one that she could always count on to be there for her. She also didn't mind how protective he was of her. The two were always very dependent on each other and whenever they disagreed, Devon would automatically claim that since he was the older twin, if only by a few minutes, he was right. So eventually, she would always give in to him and just tell him he was right. They knew from a young age that their father was a wizard and knew that if they started to show signs of magic, they would also be attending Hogwarts. When Rebecca was very young, both her and her brother showed signs.

As the years progressed, Rebecca started to notice a change in her mother. She seemed to get angry a lot easier than she ever had before and she had started to drink again. At first, Becca didn't think anything of it, she didn't know her mother had been a binge drinker when she was younger, so she thought everything would be alright. However, the more her mother drank, the more violent she became. The only people that seemed to be able to control her in her rage fits are Brandon and Devon. Most of the time at least one of the two was there, but the first time they weren't there was the first time Melinda ever hit Rebecca. It was more of a shock than anyone could have ever imagined, but whenever Melinda got drunk and she thought Devon and Brandon were out of the house, she started to abuse Rebecca. Only stopping when Brandon or Devon would interfere and make her stop. But no matter what they said to Melinda, she wouldn't stop drinking. This abuse went on for over a year before Rebecca had finally had enough. She wanted to leave and never come back. The only consolation she had in her mind was the chance that on her eleventh birthday she would receive her letter to Hogwarts.

Soon enough, her letter came in the mail as well as her brothers during their birthday party with their father. Soon happiness completely overwhelmed Rebecca and she couldn't wait until they could leave for the school. Rebecca's first year was made more exciting than it actually was because she was finally away from her mother, except for the holidays that is. Before they had boarded the train, Rebecca and Devon both promised their father to return to their home for each of the holidays as long as he promised to get Melinda under control. This pact between the kids and their father kept their hopes up for when they did return home. During their winter break in their first year, the two were reluctant to return home but were pleasantly surprised to see their home completely rid of all alcohol and their mother acting as she had when the were much younger. Which made the two feel much more at home than they had in years. But the warm feelings weren't around for very long when suddenly an argument between Brandon and Melinda caused Melinda to spiral back into a drinking binge worse than they had ever seen. During her relapse, she attacked Rebecca giving her a black eye not caring if Brandon and Devon were around, though they quickly pulled her mother away from her. Afthis break, the two were even more reluctant to go home during the summer, but Devon promised Rebecca that he would always be by her side while they were there.

The next few years passed by almost uneventfully. A few friends here and there were made, such as Alice Adams who was a year younger than her. Rebecca decided she was going to focus on studies since whenever she tried to get close to a boy, Devon would swoop in and ruin whatever he could at that possible moment. Rebecca and Devon were both very proud to be Gryffindors as they were following in their fathers' footsteps. The time at Hogwarts seemed to pass so quickly as the two got older and the time spent at home seemed to drag on as if they were going to be there forever. The abuse had stopped once Rebecca reached her fourth year because she no longer could allow her mother to hit her. Finally standing up to her, the abuse stopped and she no longer ever returned to Hogwarts with bruises on her body caused by her mother.

In Rebecca's seventh year at Hogwarts, she was made Head Girl of Gryffindor and was more than ecstatic. However, Bobby Lefevre was made Head Boy and the two constantly clashed. She would have to deal with him always teasing her about other Gryffindors among a variety of other annoying traits, but she decided she'd have to get used to him if they were to be Head Boy and Girl together. Devon strongly dislikes Bobby because of his flirtatious ways, but since Rebecca shows no interest in Bobby at first. Until Bobby and Rebecca make a bet soon after their seventh year starts. Rebecca can't wait to see how her final year at Hogwarts will go with Bobby always around her, though she's excited for the dorm because she's heard it's really nice.

- MALE GRYFFINDORS -

ANDREW BOND*

PLAY BY: Jensen Ackles
BIRTHDATE: April, 25th
CONNECTIONS: Huge crush on Krystal Hargreaves. Mickey Bond- brother and best friend. Nymphadora Tonks, Alice Adams, and Lillian Morris friends through Krystal Hargreaves.
YEAR / OCCUPATION: Seventh
PERSONALITY: Witty, sarcastic, charming, secretly sensitive, badass, daring.
BRIEF BIO: It had seemed to everyone that they would be a mismatch, far from a match made in heaven. After all, what was a wizard to do when he met and fell for the Muggle; a Swiss aristocrat nonetheless! Yet, it was Max would had the last laugh as he found himself greeting his bride down the aisle in a private ceremony on the French Alps. Max was raised in a modest upbringing with an elder brother in Surrey, England. This was brought in stark contrast with his wife’s wealthy lifestyle that differed greatly from that of her significant other. Andrew Bond was born on the 30th of April in Zurich where both his father and mother were traveling, due to his father’s commitment in his work. The Bond family tried to settle down after the birth of their first child but Max was constantly on the move. As the firstborn Bond, Andrew was adored upon by both sets of parents and grandparents. Whilst remnants of the memory of his early childhood remain sketchy at best, Andrew was often described as an intelligent yet disciplined boy. Never once did either his parents suffer from late night return trips from one bedroom to another to cater for their young son’s needs, as he slept serenely into dawn. The irony is still not lost onto him as he reflects into the man that he grew into.

Michael’s birth was a welcome addition to the young family, as the family interest soon shifted to their latest addition. For the most part, this didn’t exactly pose an issue for the elder Bond male, particularly as he enjoyed his moments of solitude from constant scrutiny. In having a younger sibling, Andrew was entrusted with the responsibilities and duties that were affiliated with that of elder siblings, one that involved having to look out for Michael and keeping him out of harm’s way. Still, the presence of a younger brother meant he never yearned for companionship from his friends. Sure, there were instances of sibling rivalry and disagreements that often wrecked mayhem in the Bond household but Andrew took everything in his stride; from showing Michael the ‘ways of the world’ to even setting him up for his first date. Whilst he may not admit it, it has become increasingly apparent to Andrew that his brother remains the single most important fixture in his life.

By the age of six, Andrew had already lived in Paris, London, Munich, Milan and Madrid. However, as he got older, Monique had decided that she had enough of the life as a gypsy. Soon, young Andrew resided in Surrey, his father’s ancestral home where he grew up as a Muggle boy. Despite his father being a wizard, he managed to live his life the normal way. He was home schooled by his mother and he became fluent in English, French and German. Young Andrew however was kept in the dark of his magical ancestry. Being constantly on the move, he soon learnt the art of making friends and losing them equally fast. Although he found the art of forming friendships easy and became quite popular, he was content with the simple company of his younger brother for the most of the time.

In successfully garnering a permanent fixture with the Ministry of Magic, Max managed to earn a stipend that enabled comfortable living in a pleasant countryside home near the coast with a large garden. The picturesque living with a view of the sea and ivy climbing across the bricks of the house meant for perfect living under the Bond household. Whilst Michael remained jaded with the countless trips to the beach and warm summers in the garden, Andrew managed to draw happy memories growing up away from the hustle and bustle of the city. From learning the basics of beach soccer to flying a broom for the very first time, from learning to swim in the warm waters of the gentle-lapping seas to being saved from drowning in the tumultuous waters of the French coast; there weren’t a time in his life that he recalled being so carefree and juvenile. Often, Andrew would find himself inviting his younger brother to join him in embarking on a journey of self-discovery only to find his invitation rebuffed for piano lessons or cooking lessons. This notion often bemused Andrew as he could not comprehend the lack of imagination on his younger sibling’s part.

Little did young Bond know that his happy carefree world was about to crash and burn. It all started with the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement coaxing the Auror services’ best man into partaking one last mission prior to his official retirement to a senior regulatory role within the Ministry. What was to be a routine mission simply went awry that lead to the brutal massacre of Max’s entire team by an unknown executioner(s). Andrew would cite chills till this very day upon the very moment he greeted the very men that bore bad news at his very doorstep. Having met two burly Aurors at the door that claimed to work with his father, they requested for a private audience with his mother. Quite enthusiastic at the opportunity to listen to both men impress him with war stories of old, he led them into the drawing room whilst locating his mother. Whilst the majority of the subsequent conversation had been banished from the depths of his mind, Andrew recalled the depressing site of his bawling mother whilst hugging him close by for support. As fate would have it, the Bonds have lost their patriarch.

Thereafter, Andrew spent the remainder of his childhood ensuring the general well-being of his younger brother; often portraying the absent father figure in Michael’s life. As a single parent, Monique did her best in raising her boys as they became a closer knit unit than ever. The tragedy simply forced Andrew to mature quicker than life intended for him to, thrusting him into the deep end without any prior caution. Therefore, family remained the single most important thing to Andrew, doing absolutely anything and standing up for them without fail. As a graduate of Great Britain’s finest magical institution, it weren’t surprising for Andrew to receive his Hogwarts letter in the mail to embark on his quest for magical knowledge, in following his father’s footsteps. Andrew had been immensely reluctant to abandon his family in what he viewed as their time of need. However, at his mother’s insistence that both her boys were to receive proper magical instruction, he found himself packed away for his first year away from home. The farewell remained a bitter pill to swallow, particularly for both siblings as Michael would not comprehend the invasive approach that his older sibling adopted in his life. The boys barely spoke throughout that year, but soon made amends when Michael started at Hogwarts the following fall.

Andrew’s time at Hogwarts is often recollected as a mesh of personal triumphs and tragedies. A suitable analogy could be that of a five minute trailer of ‘The Life and Times of Andrew Bond’. Nothing noteworthy occurred during his first year of formal education as he strived to make friends and attempted to keep his nose clean. Despite his best efforts, he holds the distinct record for having landed a spot in detention in the shortest possible time. What transpired was the little fact that Andrew was coerced into covering for James Potter’s mischievous prank that would’ve landed him a suspension. The infamous record still stands till this day as Headmaster Dumbledore reserves special mention of both Potter and him in his welcome back address. Andrew’s second year at Hogwarts meant that he’d return to the school with an ally, that being his younger brother. With detention being a permanent fixture in his schedule, Andrew had been cautioned by his mother to not draw his younger sibling down the same road as he did. Oddly enough, Michael had been sorted into Ravenclaw and subsequently managed to make a name for himself as the diligent overachiever that he had often expected him to become.

The next three years of formal education passed by with minimal interruptions as Andrew was saddled with the normal tribulations that often afflicted adolescent boys. Having earned his notoriety as one with the school’s notorious Marauders, there was an endless string of suitors that pursued his interest. There was never any fear of being alone for the weekend as Andrew was often found in the company of feminine presence. However, Andrew was constantly fraught with anxiety for Michael’s wellbeing in settling in at the palatial estates of Hogwarts. Being the studious gentleman, he was often bullied and tormented by various sections of the student body; namely the Slytherins. Thus, Andrew more often than not found himself in the midst of a duel; resulting in frequent visits to the infirmary with broken noses and bloodied shirts. During his fifth year, Andrew recalled having to burn the midnight oil whilst requesting for his brother’s aid in studying for his OWLs. It was then that he met Krystal Hargreaves, the one girl that he did not mind having to spend every waking moment with. Funnily enough, Andrew found most girls insufferable during that stage of his life. Needless to say, Andrew’s combined effort when coupled with the Ravenclaws’ assistance enabled him to ace his examinations with flying colours; surprising even the most ardent of his critics.

In his penultimate year of formal education, Andrew was greeted with a surprise upon his return to Hogwarts. Andrew Bond was elected to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to Quidditch Cup glory by the Head of House. In all honesty, Andrew felt that James had been more deserved for his Quidditch exploits on the pitch. Still, Andrew repaid the faith instilled in him by an expectant fan base by leading the team into the Quidditch Cup Final. The forward lineup lead by James trounced the Slytherin defense into submission as they raced into an early fifty point lead. Like a well-oiled machine, the hours of practice should’ve translated into on-pitch success. However, it was not to be as Gryffindor’s traditional rivals stole the crown by a meager ten points during Andrew’s finest hour courtesy of their Seeker. Long after the match was over, a forlorn Andrew could be found staring at the vast night sky in the empty stands contemplating a different outcome. To his surprise, he was discovered brooding by his younger sibling and Krystal who attempted to alleviate his misery. Needless to say, the events of that night had long since been forgotten as the three youths partied until dawn. However, Andrew recalled having engaged Krystal in a lip-lock in the spur of the moment. What transpired the following morning was anyone’s guess but Michael had not quite let the matter slide by. In Andrew’s mind, his younger sibling would be expecting a nephew by the time he graduated! Still, Andrew completed his sixth year without quite resolving the conflicted feelings that he had for Krystal.

Now in his final year of formal education, Andrew is adamant that he’d make the best of the last remnants of his school years. Having received numerous offers to ply his trade with the Quidditch professional outfits, Andrew had with a heavy heart turned them down as he had set his sights on emulating his father’s footsteps; against his mother’s wishes. Between juggling NEWTs, Quidditch and the unresolved issues in his love life, one has to wonder if anyone would really envy the life of one Andrew Bond.

JAMES POTTER*

PLAY BY: Tom Sturridge
BIRTHDATE: March 27th
CONNECTIONS: Lily Evans and Elladora Guffy; Love Interests. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Katherine Griffith; best friends. Severus Snape and most Slytherins; enemies. Nathan Connelly; love/hate
YEAR / OCCUPATION: Sixth
PERSONALITY: Arrogant, Proud, Boastful, Good, Self-Confident
BRIEF BIO: James Potter was born into a pure-blood wizarding family of considerable wealth. Both his parents are elderly, even by wizarding standard. Because he is their only child, James' parents pampered him a great deal, so he has grown to be arrogant, boastful, and proud, but inside a good person. Though more mischievous than diligent like, James is a very bright student. He has great talent on the Quidditch pitch as a Chaser for his house team, and he knows it. He is something of an obnoxious youth for the majority of his time at school; he likes to show off and is exceptionally self-confident. He habitually ruffles his hair to make it even untidier, to look as though he'd just got off his broomstick. From the first moment James had seen Severus Snape in his first year, the pair have been enemies ever since. His pranks are usually directed at the boy. Also, James swiftly befriended his current three other best friends in the beginning of his first year. Together, they call themselves the Marauders, and they tend to get in trouble a lot.

Katherine was someone James befriended a few years ago in his fourth year when she respectfully stood up to him when he used her as a target of his prank. Nobody had ever respectfully told him to knock it off before, and the pair became friends instantly. Their friendship grew over the course of the year, and James considers her his best female friend. Someone he also noticed in his fourth year was the older sister to Lily Evans, Petunia. He had seen her watching him quite a bit which he wasn’t expecting since she was the sister to the only one he’s never been able to impress. All Petunia did, however, was add to his ego. She continues to stay nearby or watch him from a distance even now although she rarely speaks to him. Why? James has no clue.

The Potters welcomed Sirius Black to their house during the summer when he ran away because he could not take his own family any longer. There, Sirius became an unofficial member of the family, and Mr. and Mrs. Potter were overwhelmed with happiness to have the boy who was like their son's brother in their house. Sirius felt like he was at home, and the two became even closer. By this point, Sirius Black WAS James Potter's brother.

Now in his sixth year and past his OWLs, James is mildly concentrating on becoming an Auror. He has every intention to join the Order of Phoenix upon leaving Hogwarts, and he finds Dark Magic absolutely disgusting. Although he still wants to catch Lily Evan’s eye, he’s sort of interested in Elladora Guffy. He likes her fun spirit and her rebellious attitude. The two are seen talking quite a bit in the corridors, but James still has hopes for Lily…even under her circumstances. James has been fairly wary of Peter recently because of his suspicious behavior. He’d often follow Peter secretly at night, but he’d lose Peter while following him in the corridors because he’d transform into a rat. He has recently started using the Marauder’s Map to track him, and he’s waiting for the perfect time to confront Remus and Sirius about how he’s been watching Peter go to the Slytherin dungeons night after night. When’s the right time, though? James doesn’t want to believe what makes sense...Is Peter going to the dark?
