જ⁀➴ Wilbur Dumbledore
- 4th year
- like his older cousins, he has joined the Gryffindor house
- part of the Dumbledore lineage, pure-blood (Aberforth and Albus Dumbledore are his cousins, as well as his deceased cousin Ariana)
- descendant of the Godric Gryffindor
His mother had died 2 years prior his 1st year at Hogwarts, leaving him at a muggle orphanage to get bullied by said muggle children for being "different".
Wilbur had been a smart boy from the start, learning to detest muggles because he doesn't seem to understand their petty thoughts and feelings.
He also detests Albus for leaving him at that orphanage instead of seeking him out and taking care of him. Aberforth does not get blamed, since the owner of the Hogs Head has had nothing to do with his mother for years.
Wilbur also bought himself a great horned owl at Diagon Alley, which he named Tenebris.

Description:
Wilbur has rather empty looking brown eyes, sporting a mane of unruly and curly brown hair atop his head. He is a clever young boy with a glint in his eyes telling of the stories in the orphanage.
The boy wears a pair of golden rimmed glasses although he isn't forced to wear them. Only his slightly chubby cheeks tell of his young age, as the rest of him radiates an aura that should be befitting of an old man.
He stands at a height of 5'4, towering over most of his classmates.
Important to address are also the numerous scars hidden underneath his trousers and sweatshirts, the most of them on his back. The gnarly scars showing of long punishments and rough lecturing at the orphanage.
He normally stays at Hogsmeade over the holidays, helping in the Hogs Head to earn some Galleons.
When outside of school, he usually wears sweaters and outfits fitting the aesthetic of dark academia. A beanie always on top of his head to keep the lack of care to his body a secret outside of Hogwarts.

જ⁀➴ Artem Lylyk
- is in his 6th year
- Hufflepuff student
- above average scores and part of the Quidditch team as seeker
- Hufflepuff prefect
- no interesting family lineage, half-blood (muggle-born father, half-blood mother, connected to the lineage of Helga Hufflepuff)
- Originally studied in a quaint wizarding school in Ukraine, before being forced to move to England due to the start of the Muggle War
- started his first year in Hogwarts as a 3rd or 4th year
Artem is a polite and kind student, voted as prefect once he had begun his 5th year.
He is adored by his Quidditch team due to his outstanding reflexes and speed on the broom.
His favorite classes are Herbyology and Defense against the dark arts (DADA)
He also owns a cat named Cecilia. She is a Mainecoon-mix with fluffy greyish-rusty colored fur with stripes. The cat also has white accents on her belly, chest, nose, throat and feet.

Description:
Artem has a rather pale olive skin, one can even call him translucent. His greyish eyes, representing the sky before a storm. A surprising part to his rather unique colored eyes is the hazel ring around his pupils forming a star-like form.
Peculiar is the visible scar on his thumb, which belongs to a magical accident.
Due to his prefect duties and other reasons, there are permanent bags under his eyes, displaying exhaustion. Even though he seems tired most of the time, Artem loves to smile and laugh with his younger friends, displaying a crooked open mouth smile. His eyes crinkling and twinkling in a never-ending happiness.
Some have mistaken the Lylyk for a Weasley before, seeing has he had the same orangey mane of curly frizzy hair sitting atop is slightly chubby face, displaying the baby fat that seems to still cling to him.
He is known to lack self-care, but even so keeps his outfits in a casual-comfy maybe even formal look, although his hair always gives away his more laid-back nature.

જ⁀➴ Levente Walker
- Hogwarts Professor of Defense against the dark arts (age 21)
- was part of Slytherin
- related to ???, pure-blood
- is not a fan of his older brothers' current plans
- is Dumbledore's assistant for Transfiguration
Lev is a calm professor, always watching over the students like a guardian.
He has helped many of the troublemakers out of detention since he has started as professor. When had been a student himself, he was prefect and head boy of Slytherin, helping his house win the house cup every year with his proper attitude.
Even though he is related to Grindelwald, he does not support his older brother, instead he helps Dumbledore in any way he can.
He is loved and at the same time feared by his students. His mismatched eyes mirroring those of Gellert, only that his portray a sense of calmness and peace.
His teaching is strict but helpful, making sure that no student falls behind. He is suspicious of Tom but treats him with the same kindness as all the others.

Description:
Lev is a tall, muscular young man, standing at a 6'1 and towering even over some of the other professors.
He has a pale complexion, rarely a bit of color seen on his cheeks.
He carries himself with authority and calmness normally not seen for professors teaching DADA.
Whenever he enters the room, his magical power can be felt, and his aura fills up the space. Of course, not in a bad way but rather in a calming and warm way, having a soft hold on the students.
His mismatched eyes of dark brown and sea-green hold a wise glint, a soft smile always painted onto his lips. And in difference to his older brother, the young professor has a curly mass of soft light brown hair sitting atop his head, giving his appearance a soft but rugged look, thanks to the slight stubble along his chin, refining his sharp jawline.
What most don't notice is the light scar that nearly melts together with his pale complexion running from the top of his right cheekbone to the bridge of his nose. Many other scars mar the top of his knuckles and hands as well as his back and shoulders. Most of them telling stories of fighting against aggressive magical creatures or his own brother.
He is rarely seen without his Hogwarts suit, but when seen outside of school he likes to wear comfortable soft sweaters and jeans.

જ⁀➴ Jackson Oxes
- 4th year
- part of Hufflepuff
- part of pure-blood lineage, that has been bringing out many Aurors
- no known siblings
- always on tie with Tom in most of the subjects concerning theory
- Praxis isn't his strong suit, so he isn't too much of a fan of using spells
- high-achiever
Even though Jackson seems to always be in a cheery mood, there's this absolute lividness and fear whenever he fails to do a spell right on the first try.
His favorite professor is Levente Walker, although already out 2 and 2 together, figuring out that sir Walker is Grindelwalds younger brother.
Many are confused on why Jackson is part of Hufflepuff as he is one of the most knowledgeable wizards his time, making it seem weird that he isn't part of Ravenclaw.

Description:
Jackson is a muscular tall young man with high ambitions and goals. He stands at a 5'10, towering even over some 6th and 7th years.
He's admired and to be thought to be the next Hufflepuff prefect after Artem.
His fiery dark orange-red hair is mostly loose and only ever seen in a ponytail when he is reading or studying. He keeps his hair long even though he'd so much rather have it cut short. (past information)
What is rather hard to see are his freckles, seeing as he already has a rather tan complexion.
And even though he carries himself with a proper look, his dark – nearly black – eyes seem to be devoid of emotions. Only whenever he laughs, can you see the twinkle of emotions residing deep in those dark pools.
