NEWT SCAMANDER (and other canons) - Kieran - 10-21-2021
NEWT SCAMANDER
I have created his nephew and nephew's wife and son as my OCs, and vision that they're close with Newt even if his brother Theseus isn't. His nephew is an Auror, the wife owns the pet shop on Diagon Alley and a magic shop on Charing Cross Road, and the son was born in 1978, is enthusiastic about fantastic beasts and owns a niffler. So there's plenty we can do with their story both during the war and during the years of relative peace.
REMUS LUPIN
I have an OC family whose young son becomes a werewolf in 1987 at age 7, and I'd like them to befriend Remus at some point. The son is cured from the infection in early 1993 at age 13. In-universe the characters don't figure out how it happened but I have a detailed vision of the cure written in our board-canon werewolf lore. The boy loves being a werewolf so he's a good contrast to Remus. I have no particular over-arching plot for them, would like to just write a friendship and see what it brings.
I also have an OC Auror who's an Animagus. (Animal form is raven.) I'm planning he either is part of the original Order of the Phoenix or at least knows about it and helps them from inside the Ministry during the First Wizarding War. He too could befriend Remus and even learn about his condition because he's not prejudiced the least bit when it comes to werewolves. He's Newt Scamander's nephew and his wife and son love magical creatures. The whole family is open-minded. But they may as well not learn about Remus' condition if you'd rather they don't.
HARRY POTTER
Harry is a child during our timeline but I keep hoping there's someone who'd be enthusiastic to explore his life before Hogwarts and during his first Hogwarts year and have him have more friends and not just Hermione and Ron. I have two child characters; a werewolf boy the same age as Harry who will be a Slytherin at Hogwarts, and Newt Scamander's nephew's son who's two years older than Harry and will be a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. I'd like one or both of them to befriend Harry. Preferrably before Hogwarts years, but at least in the beginning of Harry's first year. And you know, write about a developing friendship.
HOGWARTS STAFF
Any Hogwarts staff member would be fine. Either canon or OC. I have OC child characters at Hogwarts between 1989 an 1992, the other is a werewolf in Slytherin and the other is Newt Scamander's relative in Ravenclaw. And I'm planning to have one of my adult OCs take the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for the year 1990-1991. So there'd be both adult and child characters to interact and plot with.
