Durmstrang Institute

The **Durmstrang Institute** is a canonical wizarding school, one of the three or four out of the "Great 11" that are situated in Europe (it is not known if Koldovstoretz is in the European or the Asian part of Russia) and one of the traditional competitors in the Triwizard Tournament. Its exact location is unknown, but is believed to be in the northern part of the continent.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Durmstrang Institute** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The Durmstrang Institute was founded by the Bulgarian witch Nerida Vulchanova in or before 1294 (in which year it participated in the first Triwizard Tournament).

In the late 19th century, Gellert Grindelwald was considered the best student in the school's history, but was later expelled due to excessive experiments in dark magic.

In 1994, the headmaster was Igor Karkaroff, a former Death Eater.

The school is known for teaching the Dark Arts, and for not accepting muggle-born students.

It is commonly believed that the school is situated in northern Scandinavia (i.e. Norway or Sweden), but it should be noted that this is a canonical fact about the *beliefs of British magicals*, not about the school itself. Since the founder was Bulgarian, the name of the school is German, the names of the known students and headmaster in 1994 are Slavic and the coat-of-arms features both Latin and Cyrillic script, a place in Central or Eastern Europe may be more likely; many areas to the south and east of the Baltic sea have at various times been under both German, Swedish and Russian control. Svalbard, which is part of Norway but has a relatively large Russian presence, has also been suggested although it wasn't discovered (by muggles, at least) until 1596.

## Non-canonical information

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, Viktor Krum claims that the school is situated in northern Norway close to Barents Sea, and that "there is always snow"; but whether this is actually true or merely a lie the school spreads to hide its true location is of course not known. He also states that Durmstrang is planning on accepting muggle-borns starting in the school year of 1995/96, mainly because they have problems finding enough students otherwise.

* In *The Prisoner*, Luna Lovegood mentions that the grandfather of Theodore Giesel was a previous headmaster of Durmstrang; this would presumably have been in the late 19th or early 20th century. She does not say whether it was the paternal (i.e. named Giesel, or possibly Geisel) or maternal grandfather (probably named Seuss).

Fire Heart

***Fire Heart*** is a non-canonical song (or possibly composition, given that the performance is referred to as a "presentation") performed by The Heliopaths. No details are given beyond it being played on the wizarding wireless in 1996, not even the genre, but the band name perhaps suggests it might be some type of rock.
Head Boy and Head Girl

**Head Boy** and **Head Girl** are canonical titles given to seventh-year Hogwarts students; at the start of every school year, one each is selected by the Headmaster based on academic achievements, reputation and personality. They are given authority to lead and instruct the prefects in their regular duties, but may also be tasked with further duties as need arises; for example in 1993 they were charged with keeping watch over the students in the Great Hall while Dumbledore and the rest of the staff searched the castle for Sirius Black.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Head Boy or Girl** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Many of the known Head Boys and Head Girls have been prefects themselves, but e.g. James Potter was not (Remus Lupin was the male Gryffindor prefect in his year) and too few names are known to say which case is the more common. However, if a prefect is chosen they keep their status as prefect as well, rather than being replaced in that role.

Similar to prefects and Quidditch captains, the Head Boy and Head Girl have access to the special Prefects' Bathroom.

## Non-canonical information

* In Isolation, there are specific suites ("Head dormitories") for the Head Boy and Head Girl placed outside, but close to, each House; they contain two bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchenette and a bathroom. Presumably the reason for this is that students of all houses need to be able to reach them without drawing attention if they have complaints or problems of a sensitive nature.

## Office holders

A In the game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery (a source of low but non-zero canonicity), the player character Jacob's sibling may become either Head Boy or Head Girl, depending on the chosen gender, and therefore Corey Hayden is given the opposite gender.

B In the story Isolation, Voldemort doesn't take control of Hogwarts until February of 1998, and Hermione stays there to do research into horcruxes.
High elf magic

**High elf magic** is a non-canonical type of magic innate to high elves; some high elves, but not all, are also able to use regular wand magic. High elf magic is applied by touch and is especially attuned to the element of earth; it also gives them "almost full control over humans' bodily functions", including the ability to turn people unconscious with a single touch.

To what extent there is any relationship between high elf magic and house-elf magic is unknown.

Diedre (Ancient Runes student)

**Diedre** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; she is in the same year as Harry, was sorted into Hufflepuff and in her sixth year she took N.E.W.T.-level Ancient Runes.

On the first day of class, she and fellow Hufflepuff Patrick were the first to translate the class rules back into English from the various ancient languages Bill Weasley had written them in; this earned them an automatic O on the next lesson's quiz.

Eileen Prince

**Eileen Snape**, née Prince, is a canonical pure-blood witch and the mother of Severus Snape; her marriage to the muggle Tobias Snape was not happy and their son was glad to leave for Hogwarts.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Eileen Prince** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Her sixth-year Potions book was published "nearly fifty years" before the 1996/97 Christmas holiday, so if she bought it new in August 1947 she would have been born during the 1930/31 scholastic year; if it had sat in the bookstore for a while or if "*nearly* fifty" indicated a difference by more than half a year – or especially if she bought it second-hand – she may have been born later, but given that she presumably graduated Hogwarts before she married and had a son in January 1960, she probably wasn't born later than August 1940.

During her time in Hogwarts she was Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team as well as President of the Hogwarts Gobstone Club. The fact that her son wanted to be in Slytherin, paired with Slughorn's comment about families tending to be sorted into the same House, suggests that she was sorted there as well.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In the creature!fic *Ignore the Dementor*, she is said to have been a vampire and a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures.
Fae-flame counter-charm

The **Fae-flame counter-charm** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *The Code*; it is capable of extinguishing Fae-flame, which a normal fire-suppression charm is not. Whether it is also effective on normal fire is unclear, but there must be some reason it has not replaced the normal charms; if it is effective against normal fire, it may e g take more time to cast, be harder to learn and/or perform correctly, or possibly be more draining (although the idea of magical exhaustion seems to be non-canonical). According to Draco Malfoy, the incantation may be either *depostus* or *compressus* (although it is also possible that both are wrong).

## Etymology

* Latin *dēpositus* (with an extra *i*, which however has been lost in e g Italian *deposto*) is the singular masculine nominative passive perfect participle of the verb *dēpōnō*, meaning (among other things) 'put aside, gotten rid off' (as an adjective); through the addition of various auxiliary verbs it may also be turned into the passive perfect ('has been gotten'), pluperfect ('had been gotten'), exact future ('will have been gotten') and infinitive ('to be gotten').
* Latin *compressus* is the corresponding form of the verb *comprimō*, meaning (among other things) 'restrained, contained, hindered'

Florean Fortescue

**Florean Fortescue** is a canonical wizard and the owner of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. In 1996 he was abducted and eventually murdered by Voldemort.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Florean Fortescue** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
In the summer of 1993 he for several weeks plied Harry with free ice cream sundaes every half hour and helped him with his History of Magic homework about medieval witch-burnings.

He is a descendant of former Hogwarts Headmaster Dexter Fortescue.

## Non-canonical information

### The Family Clock

*Main article: Florean Fortescue in The Family Clock*
In this story, Florean was born in the late 19th century (in 1996, he says he has been "matchmaking the young people of Diagon for nearly ninety years"), and the Parlour was established at the latest in the early 1960s. He is married, although his wife's name is never mentioned, and he had a likewise unnamed son who was killed by death eaters sometime during the 1970s (Siobhan Tickes was an auror at the time) as well as a niece (or possibly granddaughter) whose son Loren was born in October 1990 (probably; see discussion in his profile). The latter two happened to live with the Fortescues at the time of the abduction, and the niece was killed on scene after having in turn killed one of the attackers with a muggle gun.

Herja family

The **Herja family** seems to be a non-canonical valkyrie family mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; however, as we know practically nothing about valkyrie society it is also possible that this is merely a cover used while spending time among witches and wizards. While the name *Herja* looks slightly more likely to be a family name than *Brynhildr* does, it is worth noting that in the Old Norse culture (from which the concept of valkyries comes) family names were not in use at all.

While canonically Hogwarts only accepts students from Britain and Ireland, valkyries are primarily associated with Scandinavia and Iceland. However, it may be that the Herja family lives in Orkney or Shetland, which were both under Norwegian rule until the mid-15th century.

## Etymology

*Herja* is the (indefinite) genitive plural of the Old Norse noun *herr*, meaning 'of warriors'. (It is also an Old Norse verb closely corresponding to the English verb *harry*: 'plunder, pillage, assault; make repeated attacks on an enemy', but that is unlikely to have ever been used as a name.)

Dusting charm

A **dusting charm** is a non-canonical household spell mentioned in *All the Dementors of Azkaban*; it is used to remove dust and dirt from an object or area. The book *Household Charms for the Charming Household* is said to contain more than one, although no details are given (nor any comment on the differences between them, or the need for more than one).

Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club

The **Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club** is a non-canonical student club at Hogwarts mentioned in *Violence Inherent in the System* (and also referred to without name in the preceding *The Girl Who Loved*). It was founded by Ginny Weasley during the 1992/93 school year, and she remained its *High Priestess* until the end of the fall semester of 1996, when she realized that she would never have the kind of relationship that she wanted with Harry Potter, and used a love potion on herself to direct her interest elsewhere. After this betrayal of the spirit of the club, she was deposed and Lavender Brown served as interim Head Priestess for the spring semester. It is hinted that the club had quite a few members, coming from all four houses, and at least first-year Slytherins are known to have been members in 1997.

## Ranks

The club members are classified into different ranks; it is not clear on exactly what grounds (although sharing previously unknown information about Harry Potter seems to be one way to rise) nor what the practical differences between the ranks are. Three ranks are known: *Acolyte*, *Priestess* and *High Priestess* (the last being also known as *Head Priestess* and *High Sorceress*); there may be more. The older members (it is not clear if this refers to age, membership time or rank, nor if he latter can be inferred from any of the former) are said to perform rituals, although no further details are given.

## Known members

* Ginny Weasley (founding member, High Priestess -1996)
* Lavender Brown (interim High Priestess spring semester 1997)
* Annabelle White
* Christine Stuart
* Juliet Granger

Fleur Delacour's father

**Fleur Delacour's father** is a canonical French wizard, married to Apolline Delacour and the father of Fleur and Gabrielle; through Fleur he is the father-in-law of Bill Weasley and the grandfather of Victoire, Dominique and Louis Weasley. His given name is not mentioned in canon, where he is only referred to as *Monsieur Delacour* or (by his daughters) *Papa*.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Delacour sisters' father** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Notably, his depiction in the film (tall, slim and clean-shaven with grey hair) is quite different from the description given in the novel (short, plump and with a small pointed black beard).

## Non-canonical information

### Names

Since the father of Fleur and Gabrielle is only called *Monsieur Delacour* and *Papa* in canon, he has received various names in fanfiction. Here are some:

### Minor appearances

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, he is said to be the grandson of Maxence Delacour.
* In *The Power of Seven*, he is said to work at the French Ministry of Magic and is described as passive and accepting of his wife's many lovers.

Draco Malfoy's bedroom

**Draco Malfoy's bedroom** is a demi-canonical part of Malfoy Manor (i.e., its existence is implied by canon but not actually mentioned) which is described differently in different stories.

## *The Prisoner*

It is placed on a higher floor than the library, the kitchens and the dining room (which is on the bottom floor). It has an en-suite bathroom and is likely part of a larger suite, since it seems the only access to the hallway is through the room next door, which was converted to a nursery after the birth of Caelum Malfoy in February 1997; the door to the nursery is deliberately left squeaking to give a warning if someone is entering at night.

### Contents

* King-sized bed with five pillows.
* Dresser with at least three drawers; third drawer holds pajama pants.

Hangtooth antidote

**Hangtooth antidote** is a non-canonical potion mentioned in *The Code*; it counteracts the Hangtooth Poison (the effects of which are not described). It is one of the Exception antidotes, which are taught in fifth year and tend to confuse most students; at least in this case, the problem is – as Ginny Weasley puts it – that "antidotes require a bit of the poison in them. But this one doesn’t have it". However, this is only technically true; the poison as brewed contains a lot of stabilizers to keep it from curdling, and the antidote doesn't need them and therefore only adds, separately, the three ingredients that actually make up the poison.
Connelly family

The **Connelly family** is a non-canonical wizarding family mentioned in *The Code*. It may or may not be Irish; the name *Connelly* is an Anglicized form of Irish Gaelic *Ó Conghalaigh* (also spelled *Ó Conghaile*), "son of Conghal", but whether the family still lives there is not known. The same Irish name has also been Anglicised as *Connolly*, *Connally* and *Conley*, and thus families with these names could be related.
Gregory Goyle's mother

**Gregory Goyle's mother** is a demi-canonical witch, i.e. one whose existence is implied, but not actually shown, in canon. As such, she has been given various names and descriptions in different stories; see links below. Presumably she is, or at least has been, married to Gregory Goyle's father (who *does* appear in canon, but whose given name is never mentioned).

## Canonical information

Main article: **Gregory Goyle's mother** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Her son was a pure-blood, so she likely was as well; although technically she could have a muggle-born grand-parent without it affecting his status, the fact that she married a Death Eater makes it seem unlikely. Of course, her stance on pure-blood supremacy is unknown, and it is not even certain that she is still alive at the time of the books.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Prisoner*

Here, *Mrs Goyle* is a frequent visitor to Malfoy manor during Voldemort's stay there, and seems fully involved in the family's questionable activities; for example, she is present at the birth of Caelum Malfoy and is the one who takes care of the midwife afterwards, and Draco muses on whether she will merely employ a memory wipe or take more drastic measures.
Emma Granger

**Emma Granger** is the name used in many stories for Hermione's mother, whose name was never revealed in canon; her likewise unnamed father is in most of the same stories named Dan. (Stories where these two names are used can be found in Category:Dan&Emma.)

## Non-canonical information

### Harry Potter: Neko's Mate

During the Christmas break of her first year, Hermione told her parents about the troll incident, and over the summer she mentioned her encounter with professor Quirrell and how he had nearly killed Harry; as a result, they were reluctant to let her go back for her second year. Being told she had been permanently changed into a neko made them reconsider, and only Harry gaining his lordship and taking Hermione as a vassal of House Potter stopped them from taking her home and forcing her to undergo surgery to remove the tail and cat ears.

Constance Brown

**Constance Brown** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in The Girl Who Loved and its sequel Violence Inherent in the System; she is the author of a Daily Prophet article in August of 1996 about Harry's and Usagi's appearance before the Wisengamot, as well as one in November about attacks by dark wizards. Her writing style in the first one is absolutely terrible, and it may be that she was a new hire due to the sudden disappearance of Rita Skeeter at the end of the event in question; by the time of her second article it is much improved.

Her age is unknown, but from her comments about Harry she sounds like she is in her early twenties – or possibly even younger. It is not known whether she is related to Lavender Brown, although her writing style may have been meant to imply that she is. However, she does have a brother.

Damien Greengrass

**Lord Damien Emanuel Greengrass** is the name given in *Violence Inherent in the System* to the father of Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, who does not appear in canon. (He is also mentioned, although without a first name, in the preceding story *The Girl Who Loved*.) He is described as having honey blond hair and light blue eyes, and looking healthy.

In this story he is married to Melian Greengrass and they have a third daughter named Luthien. Luthien was kissed in a dementor attack on Diagon Alley, but after Harry in his Heather Snape form eradicated the dementors he managed to restore the souls of nine victims, among them Luthien. At the time of the story Lord Greengrass had long managed to "sit on the fence" between the Light and Dark factions of the Wizengamot, but when it became necessary to select a new magical guardian to Harry, due to his deeply felt gratitude he stepped up as a candidate and also offered to swear a magically binding oath to see to Harry's best interests. Since Harry didn't really know much about any of the candidates, and both he and Usagi liked Luthien, he accepted the offer and the Wizengamot did not disagree.

Later, in the aftermath of Voldemort's attack on the Ministry's Yule Ball where Minister Scrimgeour was killed, an offhand request from Usagi to Lord Greengrass that he "take care of Ministry for Harry" (sic!) meant he was suddenly the main candidate in the upcoming election. As Minister for Magic, he was part of the magical delegation to the Japanese state visit to Great Britain where he gave a detailed report on the status of Magical Britain. He also appointed Dolores Umbridge to the post as Magical Ambassador to the Knights Who Say Ni, Keepers of the Sacred Words, and was part of the unofficial trial of Mary Riddle.

Since Daphne is a pure-blood, he presumably is as well (although technically, he may have a muggle-born grandparent without it affecting her status).

Fred Weasley

**Fred Weasley** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and Hogwarts student two years above Harry; he is the son of Arthur and Molly Weasley, the twin of George Weasley and the brother of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Ron and Ginny Weasley. He was sorted into Gryffindor and played beater on the house Quidditch team from his second year; in his seventh year he joined Dumbledore's Army, and after it was discovered he and George set out to cause as much mayhem for Umbridge as possible before finally dropping out of school after the Easter holidays. They set up the joke item shop Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley, which quickly became such a success that they considered buying a second shop in Hogsmeade. Once of age, they joined the Order of the Phoenix, participating in the Battle of the Seven Potters and on Potterwatch (where Fred used the code names "Rodent" and later "Rapier"), as well as the Battle of Hogwarts; tragically, during the latter, Fred was killed in an explosion.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Fred Weasley** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Fred and George were born on 1 April.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Family Clock*

The main character of this story is Jessie Tickes, a magical watchmaker with a shop right across the street from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. She knows the twins from Hogwarts, where she was in the same year as they but in Ravenclaw, and they become close friends; indeed, the main reason she doesn't date one of them seems to be that she couldn't bear choosing one before the other, and the twins sometimes refer to her as their "third twin". (The latter may be due to the fact that she can always tell them apart, because George wears a stop watch with an extra button that isn't present on Fred's.) When she is elected chairperson of the Diagon Alley Chamber of Commerce, they are jointly elected treasurers.

### Minor appearances

* In *Isolation*, Fred is saved from the explosion by Draco Malfoy; he eventually marries Lee Jordan and they adopt two daughters, Eleanor and Maisie.

Hera

**Hera** is a real-world goddess worshiped in ancient Greece; the Romans identified her with Juno by interpretatio graeca. The goddess of marriage, women and family, and the protector of women during childbirth, she is well known for her jealousy and vengeful nature, especially vis-à-vis the lovers and extramarital children of her husband Zeus; her sacred animals include the cow, cuckoo and peacock, and she is sometimes shown holding a pomegranate as an emblem of immortality. Along with Aphrodite and Athena, Hera was one of the three goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the Trojan War and she plays a major role throughout the *Iliad*.

## Non-canonical information

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said the veela in Marseille still worship her and hold her as one of their creators; according to their lore Aphrodite once challenged her to a competition about who could create the most beautiful avian being, but after she created the peacock Aphrodite presented a flock of large doves which turned into beautiful women and charmed all the judges. Hera, angry at her loss, cursed them to become burning harpies, but this act also gave them magic and after studying under the wise tutelage of Athena they were eventually able to retake their original forms; despite this initial antagonism, Hera is now honored as the one who gave them magic. Fleur Delacour (and presumably other veela as well) invokes her name, and those of the other two, in a style reminiscent of how British witches and wizards invoke that of Merlin.
Dingo Lovegood

**Dingo Lovegood** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in The Girl Who Loved and its sequel Violence Inherent in the System. She is the cousin of Luna Lovegood and attends Castle Anthrax, "a small all-witches' boarding school near Tintagel [...] known for its magical textiles program", with her twin sister Zoot during the 1996/97 school year. The two of them successfully repelled an attack on the school by vampires.

Dingo's age is not stated, but in the school year of 1996/97 she is an upper-year student and, like her twin sister, it is clear that she is old enough to be sexually active. If certain speculations about the nature of the education given at Castle Anthrax are true, she is likely two years older than Luna (i e one year older than Harry).

Cho Chang

**Cho Chang** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts student one year above Harry Potter; she was sorted into Ravenclaw and played seeker in their Quidditch team. In her fifth year she dated the Triwizard Champion Cedric Diggory, until he was murdered by Peter Pettigrew. She was of course devastated, and the next year she joined Dumbledore's Army; unfortunately, she also pushed her friend Marietta Edgecombe into joining, even though she didn't really want to, and that eventually led to the DA being found out and disbanded, which in turn caused the relationship Cho had begun with Harry to fall apart. In her seventh year, the two avoided each other and Cho dated Michael Corner, but in 1998 she was among the former DA members who returned to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Cho Chang** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Cho claims to have been a fan of the Tutshill Tornados since she was six, meaning she cannot have been a muggle-born, and at least one of her grandparents (her paternal grandfather) was a wizard. However, she is said to have married a muggle, so she may have had relatively close ties to the muggle world.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Family Clock*, Cho is only mentioned in dialogue; she is said to have been "well into bi territory", having once tried to flirt with Jessie Tickes, and it is suggested that a partial reason for her breakdown after Cedric's death may have been that she worried that her parents would find out about this.

Florean Fortescue's wife

**Florean Fortescue's wife** is a non-canonical witch mentioned (but not named) in The Family Clock; she is the wife of Florean Fortescue and (presumably) the mother of his son, and thus potentially the grandmother of Ms Fortescue-Price and the great-grandmother of Loren Price-Fortescue. She went missing together with her husband after an attack by death eaters in late 1996, and was likely killed shortly after. (The attack happened later in this story than in canon because chapters indicating that Florean was still present had already been published before the relevant parts of canon were revealed.)

Gryffindor

**Gryffindor** is one of the four houses of Hogwarts, founded by Godric Gryffindor. It is said to be characterised by *courage*, *bravery* and *daring*, but also by *determination* and *chivalry*. Its colours are scarlet and gold, and its heraldic animal is the lion.

Fire-bloom

**Fire-bloom** is a non-canonical magical plant mentioned in *The Code*; during some part of its life cycle, it is very unstable and will spontaneously combust if suffering even relatively small impacts, like being dropped on the floor, potentially causing a major conflagration. (The latter may or may not depend on the amount of potential fuel in the immediate environment.) Fire-blooms are grown in pots in the Hogwarts greenhouses, and at least some fifth-years may be tasked to repot them.
Echolocation Charm

The **Echolocation Charm** (incantation **Echolos**) is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; it was invented by an unnamed muggle-born acquaintance of Sirius Black who was fascinated by dolphins and their ability to use echolocation to navigate, and managed to construct a spell to duplicate it. The caster receives a mental image of their surroundings at the time of casting; while this is disorienting at first due to sensory overload, this passes quickly. However, the spell only works momentarily, so to map new areas or following movements it needs to be recast every few seconds or so. Living creatures are easily spotted against the background due to their heart beats.

Harry successfully uses this spell during the Second Task of the 1994/95 Triwizard Tournament.

Finch-Fletchley family

The **Finch-Fletchley family** is a canonical muggle family from which came the muggle-born wizard Justin Finch-Fletchley.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Finch-Fletchley family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The "double-barrelled" family name along with the fact that Justin would have gone to Eton had he not received his Hogwarts letter suggest that the family is wealthy and/or belongs to the upper class.

## Family members

#### Canonical

* Justin Finch-Fletchley
* Justin Finch-Fletchley's mother
Davis family

The **Davis family** is a canonical British (or Irish) wizarding family.

## Canonical information

Tracey is said to be a half-blood, so at least one of her parents is magical while at least one of her grandparents is either a muggle or a muggle-born. (However, whether the latter is on her father's or her mother's side is not known.)

## Family members

### Canonical

* Tracey Davis

A wizard named Davis was a student of Hogwarts during the 1996/97 school year; nothing more is known about him, including whether he was related to Tracey.

### Non-canonical

* David Davis, cousin of Tracey and personal assistant to Lord Cygnus Greengrass in 1995
* Ian Davis, father of Tracey and Speaker of the Wizengamot in 1995

Council of the Autonomous Nation of Dementors

The **Council of the Autonomous Nation of Dementors** is a non-canonical political body mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; as the name suggests, it is the government of the Autonomous Nation of Dementors. Little is known about it beyond that, and the fact that Harry quickly becomes a "leading member", but it seems likely that at least Athena and King are members as well. How the members are selected is unknown, but since there doesn't seem to be more than about sixty dementors it is likely a fairly direct and simple process.

Glamour

A **glamour** is a type of magic mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; it is used by many non-human students to hide their true body shapes. While it is not outright stated to be the case, it seems likely that it is part of their respective species' inherent magics; there is no mention of wands being used.

Since it can hide even fairly large body parts, such as wings, it is likely a type of (self-)transfiguration rather than a simple illusion.

Daphne Gautier Lyon

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the 19th century Louisiana magical clocksmith**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Daphne* or *Lyon***.

## Relationship information

### Relatives

* †Gustave Lyon (husband)
* Beauregard Lyon (descendant)
* Gillian Lyon (descendant)

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Watchmaker at Lyon et Fils

**Daphne Gautier Lyon** is a non-canonical historical American witch and clocksmith mentioned in *The Family Clock*; in 1813 she married muggle watchmaker Gustave Lyon from New Orleans and started to magically enhance his designs. An early work of hers is estimated to go for between two and three thousand galleons at auction.

## References

Gardner Tickes ladies' pendant

The **Gardner Tickes ladies' pendant** is a non-canonical model of magical pocket watch mentioned in *The Family Clock*; it is known to have been produced in 1921, and thus cannot have been designed by the current Gardner Tickes (who was born in the 1960s), so most likely the designer was either Ian Gardner Tickes III (although he seems to be referred to as *Ian Tickes*) or the otherwise never mentioned but obviously existing Ian Gardner Tickes II. It comes in at least two sizes, and may or may not be cased in gold.

A mid-1921 size two with gold case, in working condition and some scratching on the case, can be expected to go for about twenty galleons on the antique market.

Nemo Tonks

**Nemo Tonks** is a non-canonical alternate personality developed by Tonks' male form in *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*. In this story, this process is not unusual for metamorphmagi, especially if they shift back and forth between sexes a lot; if the two personalities can't agree on which of them should be dominant over the other, this can lead to a lot of problems. Nemo, however, is very inactive and only shows up about once every few months, mostly to show that he is still around. He was more active as a child, appearing at least once a month.

*Nemo* is also the password Tonks chooses for her private quarters at Hogwarts while working as Harry's metamorphmagus tutor.

Joanne Preston

**Joanne Preston** is a non-canoical Hogwarts student mentioned in Isolation. She was four years below Hermione, and was one of the three muggleborn students who returned to Hogwarts after the Christmas break of 1997/98 (the other two were Colin and Dennis Creevey). Her house affiliation is not outright stated, but was probably Gryffindor like the Creevey brothers – there is no mention of going to more than one house to fetch them when they were to be evacuated.
Fertilis praesidium

**Fertilis praesidium** is a contraceptive charm used by Ginny, and later Harry, in *The Power of Seven*. It is described as giving a cool feeling pulsing through the vagina, but when Harry's aim was off it felt like an electric current through the clitoris. Later, Hermione is mentioned to have found another (unnamed) charm that only needs to be recast once a day, implying that the *fertilis praesidium* has a decidedly shorter duration.

## Etymology

*fertilis*, Latin for "fertile"

*praesidium*, Latin for "protection, support"

Presumably the intended meaning is "protection of the fertile" (from conception), but since *praesidium* can also mean "tool used to accomplish something" it could theoretically also be taken the other way around, as a way to ensure fertility.

Naiads' realm

The **realm of the naiads** is a non-canonical place mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; it is the normal place for naiads to live and is described as "a heavily warded pocket of magic" inaccessible to communication magic such as the Protean Charm. No further details are given, including how large it is, what the interior looks like or how it is connected to the human world, although it seems likely to be largely filled with water.

Interrogation dome spell

The **interrogation dome spell** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *The Code*; it creates a "sickly-green" translucent dome that blocks sound and sight from entering, so that prisoners can be held isolated. It does *not*, however, stop them from going out, so that what is said within can be heard also by the people outside; from the outside, the contents of the dome take on "a strange, almost villainous yellow-green tint" and sound is slightly muffled, but not enough to affect understanding. The dome does not in any way hinder the passage of people, objects or air.
Ignia Orbis

**Ignia Orbis** is a non-canonical charm mentioned in *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*; it produces orbs of bright light circling the caster's body, which can then be moved around with a wave of the wand to light up an area. It is cast by Unspeakables, as well as by Amelia Bones and Alastor Moody.

## Etymology

- *ignia* seems to be an incorrect (and misspelled) form of the adjective *igneus*, Latin for 'burning, of fire' (had *orbis* been feminine, *ignea* with an *e* would have been correct, but it is in fact masculine)

- *orbis*, Latin for 'circle' but occasionally meaning 'sphere' (*globus* might have been a better choice)

Portkey tracking spell

### Effect

Allows the user to follow a portkey used by another person, without knowing its destination

### Creator

Severus Snape

A non-canonical **portkey tracking spell** is mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; it was developed by Severus Snape on Voldemort's orders during the First Wizarding War, and allows the user to follow a portkey used by another person, even though they do not know its destination – in fact, it works even when the destination is protected by the Fidelius Charm. It works by tracking the "signature" of the portkey, a concept that unfortunately is not further described but presumably can be used to create a new portkey to the same place.
Linus

**Linus** is a non-canonical house-elf mentioned in The Prisoner, who works for the Malfoy family; in 1997 he was in charge of the kitchen, and described as old.

Lily Selene Potter

* Xenophilius Lovegood (maternal (step-)grandfather)
* †Selene Lovegood (maternal grandmother) (likely)

## Affiliation

### School

Hogwarts

**Lily Selene Potter** is a contra-canonical fairy-dementor witch mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; she is the daughter of Harry Potter (turned dementor) and Luna Lovegood (born fairy), and has the wings of a fairy while speaking the language of dementors and being able to turn invisible and pass though walls.

Since Harry and Luna married "a couple years after she graduated" in 1999, and "eventually" had children, it seems likely that Lily wasn't born until at least the second half of the 2000s; by the time she started Hogwarts, both Dumbledore and, after him, McGonagall had retired from the post as Headmaster of Hogwarts and been succeeded by Snape. As a student she presumably was a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures.

Her middle name *Selene* may be taken as an indication that in this story, that was the name of Luna's mother; canonically, it is rather Pandora, but since this was never mentioned in the books or the films, it is not very well known and even those who do know of it do not always use it.

Frank Longbottom

**Frank C J Longbottom** is a canonical wizard and former auror as well as member of the original Order of the Phoenix; he is the son of Augusta Longbottom, the husband of Alice Longbottom and the father of Neville Longbottom. Shortly after the end of the First Wizarding War he and Alice were tortured to insanity by death eaters who wanted to learn what had happened to Voldemort, and they have since been residents of the Janus Thickey Ward for irrevocable spell damage at St Mungo's.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Frank Longbottom** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Frank's son Neville was one of two boys that Sybill Trelawney's prophecy might have referred to (the other being Harry Potter). Therefore, when Voldemort lost his body Barty Crouch Jr, together with Bellatrix, Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange, thought Frank and Alice had been involved or at least knew what had happened. They abducted the two and tortured them in the hope of learning something, but since the Longbottoms didn't know anything they couldn't give them any answers and the torture continued until they went mad.

Since Frank was an auror in July 1980, he must have graduated Hogwarts in 1977 at the latest, and thus been born in or before 1958/59.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Family Clock*, it is said that Frank and Alice were friends with James Tickes X and Siobhan McArran while at Hogwarts (implying that they were born in the mid-1940s), and that Frank was one of the groomsmen at their wedding in 1967.

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, the entire Longbottom family is said to be high elves masquerading as humans.

English National Quidditch team

The **English National Quidditch team** is a canonical sports team representing England in international Quidditch games. The players wear robes of red and white, and ocher protectors on their shoulders, legs and forearms.

## Canonical information

Main article: **English National Quidditch team** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
The team participated in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, but lost 390-10 against the Transylvanian National Quidditch team. They did not qualify for the 2014 Quidditch World Cup in Argentina.

The 1994 squad consisted of:

## Non-canonical information

* In The Family Clock, the 1996 seeker is Ian Tickes; he wanted to play for Ireland but seems not to have qualified, and instead came to be hailed as the "saviour of English National". He complains about the team's nutritionist not having "let [him] eat anything worth eating in six months". A chaser named Akintunde Ejiofor is also mentioned.

Muggle Madness Night

**Muggle Madness Night** is a non-canonical event mentioned in The Family Clock; it is held yearly at The Sticky Lick in Knockturn Alley. It is a "tribute to muggle artists" with a tradition of dressing up in costumes and it may or may not be connected with Halloween – in 1996 it was held on Friday 1 November, but it is not known if the date or the weekday is fixed.
