Ansel Quick

**Ansel Quick** (born 14 September, 1959) was an English pure-blood wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1 September, 1971 to June 1978. He was born in Castle Cary, Somerset, England, and was the son of Hermanus Quick and Agnes Quick (née Fiddler).

He played the position of Chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch Team from 1975 until his graduation in 1978.

## Biography

### Early life

Ansel Quick was born on 14 September, 1959, in Castle Cary, Somerset, England. Castle Cary is a small market town and civil parish in south Somerset, England, 5 miles (8 km) north west of Wincanton and 8 miles (12.9 km) south of Shepton Mallet, at the foot of Lodge Hill and on the River Cary, a tributary of the Parrett.

#### Hogwarts years

He received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1971. That same summer, he visited Diagon Alley, located in London, and purchased a wand made of pear and unicorn hair from Ollivander's Wand Shop. On 1 September, 1971, he boarded the train for Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin House that same night.

He shared a dormitory with Stefan Wilkes and Dunstan Sangster. Some of the other Slytherins in his year included Wulfric Mulciber, Severus Snape, and Caspar Avery.

In his fourth year of school, Ansel Quick tried out for the Slytherin Quidditch Team, and made the cut. He played the position of Chaser alongside Lucinda Talkalot and Godiva Fowler, and that year they won the Quidditch Cup. In his sixth year, however, the Slytherin Team lost in what was considered to be the most grueling game in living Hogwarts memory. The Slytherins, captained by Lucinda Talkalot, lost to Gryffindor by 530 points.

## Etymology

Originally derived from the name Anselm, which broken down into the germanic elements of *ans* "god" and *helm* "helmet, protection," the name Ansel means "God's protection". This name was brought to England in the late 11th century by Saint Anselm, who was born in northern Italy.

The surname Quick is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and has a number of possible interpretations. The first of these is from the Old English pre 7th Century word *cwic*, Middle English *quik*, meaning "alive, lively," given originally as a nickname to an agile or lively person.

Lucian Bole

**Lucian Bole** (born 9 May, 1977) was a Slytherin student who attended Hogwarts from 1988 to 1995. He was a Beater on the Slytherin Quidditch Team in the 1993–1994 and 1994–1995 school years.

### Hogwarts years (1988-1995)

Lucian Bole started his education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on 1 September, 1988. He was sorted into the house of Slytherin.

In his third-year, he became a member of the Slytherin Quidditch Team, playing the position of Beater.

During the final match between Gryffindor and Slytherin in his sixth year, Bole clubbed Gryffindor Chaser Aquila Black, claiming he'd mistaken her for a Bludger. In revenge, George Weasley elbowed Bole in the face, leading Madam Hooch to give both teams penalties.

In Bole's seventh year, the Triwizard Tournament lead all Quidditch games at Hogwarts to be cancelled, but he nonetheless nominally retained his position on the Slytherin team until his graduation in June 1995. He and fellow Slytherin Beater, Peregrine Derrick, were replaced by Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle at the beginning of the next Quidditch season. Angelina Johnson, the new captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, was glad to see Bole and Derrick gone, stating mockingly that she was always stunned the pair were able to find their way to Quidditch pitch without directions.

## Etymology

The name Lucian comes from an Old Roman family name *Lucianus,* which it turn comes from Lucius, an ancient personal name derived from the Latin word “lux” meaning “light” or “to shine”.

The surname Bole comes from Middle English: from Old Norse *bolr* ; perhaps meaning to "balk."

## Biography

### Early life (1925-1935)

Archie Doge was born on 14 February, 1925 to Elphias Doge and his wife in Puddletown, Dorset, England. Puddletown is a village and civil parish in Dorset, England. It is situated by the River Piddle, from which it derives its name, about 4.5 miles (7 km) northeast of the county town Dorchester. Its earlier name Piddletown fell out of favour, probably because of connotations of the word "piddle". He grew up supporting its local Quidditch team, Puddlemere United.

Archie had an older brother, Edgar, who was about a year older than him. Then, when Edgar was twelve and Archie himself just about to turn eleven, their mother gave birth to a third son, Elouan. Archie didn't get to know his younger brother too well, as he was off at school for a majority of Elouan's first seven years.

### Hogwarts years (1936-1943)

He received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1936. Sometime before attending, he either purchased or inherited a wand made of redwood and dragon heartstring, possibly from Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, London.

He tried out for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in his fourth year of school, along with his friend, Mick Rigby. Mick was selected as Chaser and Archie was chosen to play Beater. That year, they didn't win the Quidditch Cup, but not for lack of trying.

In his fifth year of school, Archie's friend Tobias was made the captain of an unusually young Gryffindor Quidditch team, and their friend, Gordon tried out. As a result, the rest of the team was comprised of mainly fifth and fourth years like them. Gilchrist Bellchant a fourth year, also tried out that same year, and was awarded the position of second Beater. Ivor McKinnon another fourth year, became the team's Keeper, and Dominic Gudgeon, a third year became the Seeker. Also on the team was Ansel Hume, who was a substitute. This year, they won the Quidditch Cup.

### Global Wizarding War (1943-1944)

Archie Doge joined a Hit-Wizard programme sponsored by the British Ministry of Magic. He was sent to Vienna, Austria, where he was killed by Acolytes of Grindelwald.

She had an older brother called Edwin and an older sister called Rowan. She was the youngest child, and born several years after her siblings. Her brother Edwin was twelve years old and her sister Rowan was ten years old when Esther was born, and as a result, she grew up without their influence, as they were away at school most of the time.

#### Hogwarts years (1990s)

Esther received her Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1993. She purchased a wand at Ollivander's that summer, made of ash and dragon heartstring. She boarded the Hogwarts Express on 1 September 1993, where Dementors attacked the train, looking for a recently-escaped Azkaban prisoner, Sirius Black. She was then sorted into Hufflepuff that night.

She shared a dormitory with a girl called Maxine O'Flaherty, who she became best friends with. Maxine had come from a seaside village in Northern Ireland and had lived a life very different from hers, though they bonded because of it.

## Etymology

According to the Hebrew Bible, Queen Esther was born with the name ("Myrtle"). Her name was changed to Esther to hide her identity upon becoming queen of Persia. The root of Esther in Hebrew is *hester* (הסתר) "Hidden". The name can be derived from the Old Persian *stāra* (meaning "star").
Marcy Crimble

## Marcy Flume (née Crimble)

**Marcy Flume** (née **Crimble**) (born 21 July, 1925) was an English half-blood witch and the wife of Ambrosius Flume. She had a brother, Edalbert Crimble, who worked for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, and a sister, Shirley. She ran Honeydukes with her husband.

She originally attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1936 to 1943. Before moving to Hogsmeade she was a former resident of Halifax, West Yorkshire.

## Biography

### Early life

Marcy Crimble was born into the Crimble family on 21 July, 1925, in Halifax, Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. She had a brother, Edalbert, and a sister, Shirley.

At the age of eleven, she began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Hufflepuff House. She was taught Potions by Horace Slughorn.

#### Marriage and Employment

At some point in her life, Marcy married Ambrosius Flume, a wizard who had been in her year at Hogwarts. He had also been a member of the somewhat "prestigious" Slug Club at school. Horace Slughorn introduced Ambrosius to Ciceron Harkiss and thus had him employed. As repayment for Horace's kindness, Flume sent a hamper of Slughorn's favourite sweets (Crystallised pineapple) to him annually on his birthday.

### Honeydukes

By 1993, the couple lived in a flat above Honeydukes Sweetshop and together ran said shop. In 1993, during one of the weekend trips to Hogsmeade, Mrs. Flume asked Ambrosius to get some Jelly Slugs, as the shop was filled with Hogwarts students. They also employed Edwin Tofty.

### Battle of Hogwarts

As a former Hogwarts student, Marcy participated in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside her husband, and fellow Hogsmeade residents Aberforth Dumbledore, Madam Rosmerta and Madam Puddifoot.

## Etymology

The name Marcy is the feminine form of the Latin *Marcius*, a variant of Marcus, which is derived from Mars, the Roman mythological god of war.

The surname Crimble is derived from the Old English word *crump,* which means *bent* or *crooked.* Another possible meaning for this could be attributed to the word "crumb," which may represent Marcy's ambitions for owning a sweetshop.
Castle Gate

**Castle Gate** is a small hamlet in western Cornwall, England. The hamlet is slightly northeast of Penzance. Muggles were deterred from mining on the outskirts of this place, although not many knew why. A few miles away from Castle Gate sat a large house, originally built by Corvus Black, an early member of the House of Black.

Castle Gate is the location of Blackmere House, also once known by members of the Black family as The Summer House. The Walkin family was known to live in Castle Gate in the early 19th Century, and two of their daughters, Louisa and Alice, were employed by Corvus Black as domestic servants on the estate.

After the death of Corvus Black the estate fell into the hands of his brother, and further generations of the Black family would always come back to Castle Gate to visit their Summer House. Blackmere House, however, has long since fallen into disrepair and by the late 20th century, it was probably the most derelict property owned by the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.

Furthermore, Castle Gate was the death place of Irma Black (née Crabbe) in 1989, and Pollux Black a year later in 1990. They were the last inhabitants of this place, once hoping to fix the home's leaky roof and use it as a holiday home for future generations just as others had.

Castle Gate was also home to a disused family graveyard which sat on the estate for years, unused, until the deaths of Pollux and Irma.

## Etymology

There are many towns with the name "Castle Gate," one of them was Castle Gate, Utah, in the United States. Famous for being the sight of a deadly mining disaster, the town was also known for being a ghost town. Another is Castle Gate, an area in Aberdeen, in Scotland. There is also a street in the city of York named Castlegate.

House of Bulstrode

## The Noble and Ancient House of Bulstrode

**Bulstrode** is the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. More recent members, such as Millicent Bulstrode, are half-bloods, suggesting that one or multiple members of the Bulstrode family had Muggle or Muggle-born spouses, parents, or grandparents. They are distantly related to the Blacks, the Flints, the Crabbes, the Warringtons, and the Potters.

The family motto is "*Vincit qui patitur*," meaning "he conquers who endures". The family is also known by the moniker *The Noble and Ancient House of Bulstrode* owing to their status as one of the more older families in Wizarding Britain, though it has fallen out of use in recent times.

## Family History

### Early history

The Bulstrodes originally placed a great importance on blood purity. In the *Pure-Blood Directory*, published in 1931, the House of Bulstrode's history, along with the twenty seven other families that make up "The Sacred Twenty-Eight" was outlined in great depth.

#### Origins

The Bulstrode name had its roots in Anglo-Saxon times. The surname came from the name of a very old estate, when a family by the name of Bulstrode lived in what is now Gerrard's Cross, Buckinghamshire.

### Recent history

In recent times, the wizarding Bulstrodes reside in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, now a constituent town of Milton Keynes. The paternal line descendants of Archibald Bulstrode II and Euphemia Bulstrode (née Parkinson), born in 1860 and 1862 respectively, began marrying muggles at some point after 1931.

Of the maternal line descendants of Archibald Bulstrode II, he had two daughters. Of his daughters, the oldest, Elizabetha, married Blaise Carrow of the House of Carrow in 1907; the younger, Violetta, married Cygnus Black III, younger son of Phineas Nigellus Black, Head of the House of Black.

Thus, the Bulstrode family of today is distantly related to the Houses of Lestrange, Black, Malfoy, as well as the Potter family. They are related distantly to the House of Flint by marriage, as Theodore Bulstrode Sr. married Petronia Flint in 1911. They are related to the Warrington family by marriage: Theodore's son, Theodore Jr., married Lady Mary Warrington in 1945.

Millicent Bulstrode, a classmate of Harry Potter's, was born in the year 1980. She was a half-blood witch, her mother being a half-blood with a muggle grandmother.

## Etymology

Bulstrode is an extremely rare surname in the United Kingdom. Its origin is uncertain, but it may be derived from a place name meaning either "fortress on the marsh" (from Old English *burh*, "fortress", and *strod*, "marsh"), "bull marsh" (from Old English *bula*, "bull", and *strod*), or "Bur's marsh" (form *Bur*, the name of a family, and *strod*). Bulstrode Park is a large park to the northwest of the Buckinghamshire town of Gerrard's Cross in the English Home Counties. Bulstrode is a grumpy, anthropomorphic barge in the *Railway Series* books, on which the television show *Thomas and Friends* is based.
