Prologue
My Character's Backstories. AKA The Changes I Made Just Because I Feel Like it Would Make for a More Interesting Story
Their powers will be discussed after this.
Hermione:
- Hermione isn't from Britain in my fic. She's from Australia.
- She's the Queen's daughter. (I know it's far-fetched but I think that she's exactly the type pf person that would be one of the smartest princesses to exist, don't you think?)
- She is 3rd in line for the throne after her 2 older brothers.
- She has 5 siblings in total.
- Her father was abusive and he got re-married to the queen of Britain after he was made an outcaste when the Queen found out.
- She has been training to be the perfect person since she was 5, which is why she works so hard to get good grades.
- She has a lot of responsibilities in the monarchy. She's the main advisor to the country's decisions but she started off as a diplomat for war.
- She basically does everything her mother and her older brothers don't have time for. (Which is A LOT)
- Her mother believes that she should make her own way in the world which is why most people don't know that she's the Queen's daughter outside of the Muggle World.
- Since her mother wanted her to make her own way, she was sent to an academy when she was 6 where she learnt how to dance, sing, fight, learnt about her duties, etc. That was where she first first met Harry and Ron. They trained together after Harry and Ron arrived.
- She was in a duo with Harry as well as a soloist where she made herself a household figure where everyone knew her name.
- She is extremely well trained for battle. Both on the battle-ground and as a tactician. That is the reason she can kick some serious ass even without her magic.
- Her magic is also extremely well honed courtesy of her siblings, who are also wizards and witches.
- Due to her extreme past and who she is, she has trust issues.
- She's pansexual because she cares more about what's in a person's head than their gender.
- She had a very serious boyfriend for a year and a half, but they broke up because the long-distance proved too hard.
- She sometimes has blackouts where she goes back into her past and feels like she's reliving her father's abuse.
- On her 17th birthday, her mother gifts her a pair of chopsticks that she can fit into her heels, hide in her sleeves, tie in her hair, etc. The chopsticks are actually knives and the switch back and forth whenever Hermione twirls them.
Ron:
- Ron is still from Britain.
- The Queen offered him a position in the Monarchy after she found him during a trip as a secondary advisor, right under Hermione. Ron accepted and she pays him handsomely for his services, so his family's not poor anymore.
- The Queen also gives him and his siblings the same training that Hermione receives so that they could fit in easier and it indirectly makes them fit into the pureblood society as well.
- Ron doesn't pick the creative stream, but the stream where he could create his own successful business.
- Due to his success in the business world, he is also a world-renowned investor.
- Ron can also fight in battle without his magic, just not to the finesse and skill level that Hermione can.
- His parents love him and his relationship with Alex makes them very happy, so his mother has made it her personal goal to get them married as quickly as can.
- He identifies as pansexual.
- Ron is actually extremely smart if he applies himself to his studies.
- He actually did better in his Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology OWLS than Harry and Hermione.
- Even though his family isn't poor anymore, they wanted to remember their roots and stay at the Burrow.
- Ron visits for a few weeks every couple of months, otherwise he stays at Hermione's castle.
- On his 17th birthday, the Queen gifted him a katana, which can break into two and also shrink far enough into a necklace for him to be able to put it around his throat and bring out whenever he wants.
Harry:
- Harry's abuse from his aunt and uncle is much worse than described in the book.
- Harry was also constantly belittled by them for identifying as gay.
- He was taken out of his life at the Dursley's when he got scouted by an academy when he was 9. He left as soon as he got the opportunity.
- He like Hermione picked the creative stream.
- He specialized in languages. He can speak almost 23, excluding English and Parseltongue.
- He made a name for himself in the Muggle World for being one of the most famous and talented child prodigies along with Hermione.
- He now also gets recognized by muggles who have no idea who he is in the Wizarding World.
- He's also a soloist.
- The Queen treats him as her own son.
- She recruited him as a general after finding out about his natural leadership and his magical prowess.
- He rose up the ranks on his own before taking up the general post. He started as an officer cadet and moved up 9 ranks before he became a general.
- On his 17th birthday, the Queen gifted him a whip coated in bronze, both for its usefulness in battle and the fact that it would easily bend for Harry to be able to wrap it around his wrist as a bracelet.
Most of the other characters' backstories are the same as they are in the original. If it changes, I'll make sure to change it here as well.
Powers
Wixen can learn more than their wands and incantations. The wands are just a way for them to channel their magical energy easier. Most wizards and witches choose not to, but some, when they believe they are powerful enough, choose to learn particular branches of magic. It takes extreme dedication, determination and discipline, but it is possible.
Hermione is an Elemental. This means she can influence the element of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. An Elemental's strongest field is usually determined by their personality. This is why Hermione's skill with Fire and wind is the strongest. She has also been working on influencing multiple elements at the same time, so now she can fly, create storms, clouds and turn a brightly light room pitch black.
Ron is an Empath. This means that he can read people's emotions and if he tries hard enough, he can push through some of his own. Most of the time, because of how potent is empathy is, he doesn't even have to try to look into people's emotions, they're just there. He, however is an extremely strong believer in people's privacy. This why he won't ever speak about someone else's emotions without explicit consent.
Harry is a telekinetic. This means that he has the ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other non-physical means. He started learning in his 4th year, right before his 1st task. He can now lift extremely heavy objects without much issue as well as use his ability intricately.
The Malfoys are all Legilimens. They possess the ability to peer into someone's minds and most of the time, they use their powers without anyone even knowing. (This will be quite important in the coming chapters.)
Theodore Nott is a Healer in training. That by itself isn't a power but the Notts are extremely well known for their powers in Medicine. For now he can cure minimal wounds like cuts, scrapes, burns, sprains and tiny fractures without much effort as well as help with minor illnesses like colds, fevers, coughs, etc.
Blaise is a Detector. They can sense various kinds of magic a person is using, even when they are well hidden.
The Greengrass family is known for their specializations. All of them have one topic they excel in. For Daphne it's Care of Magical Creatures and Astoria is a DADA buff.
Relationships:
All of the characters get around. None of them are simpering virgins by any means, it's just that the Slytherins are more comfortable with their exploits compared to the Gryffindors. However, when they start to lighten up, they get comfortable about their experience too.
Hermione has had a lot of casual hookups in the past. It is in fact very common at the academy the trio goes to. She did however, have a serious relationship in her fifth year, with Alexander Darius, who went to Ilvermorny. The long distance proved too hard for them and they broke up.
Harry has been in a relationship with Sebastian Finch since his fourth year, when Ilvermorny came to spectate on the Triwizard championships. They clicked and they've been going strong ever since.
Ron has been with Alex for 4 years. They met at the Quidditch World Cup and they were two goofs in love, even though they didn't know it yet. Harry and Hermione made it their personal mission to help them get together and they finally managed it in their fifth year during Christmas break.
The rest of the characters thought they had too much going on in their lives to try dating anyone serious.
