Marius Macnair

**Marius Macnair** is a non-canonical wizard mentioned in *The Family Clock*; he is the cousin of Gertie Macnair and seems, like her, to have been a Hogwarts student during the summer of 1961. His house is not explicitly mentioned, but was most likely Slytherin like hers. How he is related to Walden Macnair is not known.

Monique Moreau

**Monique Moreau** is a non-canonical French witch and Beauxbatons student mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; she is a close friend of Fleur Delacour and part of the delegation sent to Hogwarts during the 1994/95 Triwizard Tournament. She is muggle-born and described as usually being quiet.

Given that Clemence Vigouroux is said to be the oldest of them and "about to turn eighteen" near the end of November, Monique was likely born between January and August 1977 (assuming Beauxbatons uses the same scholastic year as Hogwarts).

## Behind the scenes

A canonical French wizarding family, likely of pure-blooded status, is recorded in the mid-18th century; it is theoretically possible that Monique is a descendant of a squib from this family.

Oxygenating spell

### Effect

Raises oxygen levels in a patient's lungs (and/or the air around them), making it easier to breathe

A non-canonical **oxygenating spell**, also referred to as **oxygen spell** and **oxygen charm**, is mentioned (but not described) in *The Code*; it can be used by healers to improve the breathing of patients with respiratory illnesses, blocked airways or similar problems keeping them from getting enough air. It works even when the patient doesn't breathe at all, suggesting that it manipulates the oxygen content *within the lungs*, instead of or as well as in the air around the head.
Marsh family

The topic of this article is taken from a crossover story and has been adapted from the Cthulhu Mythos; be careful when using it in other contexts. Familiarity with the original source(s) may be of benefit (see links).

The **Marsh family** is a crossover American muggle family mentioned in It's Always The Quiet Ones, where it is said that Luna's mother's great-grandfather was a member. (It is however not clear if Marsh was *her* maiden name, or that of her mother or grandmother; nor in what generation her line joined the Wizarding World.)

## Canonical information

Main article: **Marsh family** at *The H. P. Lovecraft Wiki*
See also: **Deep One hybrids** at The *H. P. Lovecraft Wiki*
The descendants of Obed Marsh, except his first son Onesiphorous and *possibly* his descendants, are Deep One hybrids. This means that they are potentially immortal, but undergo certain physical changes in their late teens, usually accompanied by new senses, strange dreams and a longing for the sea. Within a few decades they tend to develop deformities of one kind or another, and retire to close-shuttered homes; after a few more years they go through a final transformation into a full Deep One and embark on a new life in the sea.

Beyond Onesiphorus, Obed had one daughter and two sons, born in 1846 or later, of which the latter two disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The daughter, Alice, was raised in France but returned after the end of the Civil War; she married Benjamin Orne of Arkham, but died giving birth to their daughter Eliza. Obed himself died in 1878.

## Non-canonical information

Luna Lovegood is said to be a descendant of Obed on her mother's side; her branch of the family supposedly left Innsmouth in 1847, at which time her great-great-grandfather either brought with him or sent with the departing family members a golden pendant (thus implying that he was either one of Obed's "disappearing" sons or Obed himself). While Obed himself seems to be too public a figure to be a wizard under the Statute of Secrecy, it may be that the son was a muggle-born and/or that the Deep One hybrid heritage increased the probability of one appearing in the generations inbetween.

## Family members

Marietta Edgecombe

**Marietta Edgecombe** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts student one year above Harry. She was sorted into Ravenclaw and was a close friend of Cho Chang, who asked her to join Dumbledore's Army; Marietta agreed but, afraid of jeopardizing her mother's job at the Ministry, eventually broke down and betrayed the group. As a result, the jinx put on the membership list gave her pimples across her face in the form of the word "SNEAK".

## Canonical information

Main article: **Marietta Edgecombe** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
During the 1994/95 school year, Marietta was one of several friends of Cho, but she was the only one who stayed with her through her breakdown after the death of Cedric Diggory.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Family Clock*, Marietta does not show up on screen but in narration she is said to have been in the habit of giving out hurtful remarks to "anyone younger or poorer than she was" (she is also said to be in Harry's year), and to play up her family's connections. It is further claimed that Cho was "well into bi territory", which could put her relationship with Marietta in a different light.

Masking potion

**Masking potion** is a non-canonical potion (or perhaps rather *type of* potion, since the text refers to "such potions") mentioned in *The Code*; it lets the user "blend into deep shadows", hiding their identity even when seen at close range. (It does not, however, mask their *presence*, particularly not in brightly lit environments.) It is said to be difficult to brew, to the extent that when Draco sees one used, he assumes it must have been brewed by Snape.
Phylis Whitehead

## Relationship information

### Family

Greenweed family

**Matthew Greenweed** is a non-canonical wizard (presumably) mentioned in Isolation. His name was one in a list of people reported on Potterwatch as being confirmed murdered; no more information was given. The report was made in early-to-mid March 1998.
Julie Walker

This article is about **the author of a veela sex-ed book**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Julie***.

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Author

**Julie Walker** is a non-canonical veela mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; she is the author and/or illustrator of a sex-ed book for veela with a special section on how to use their allure.

## Behind the Scenes

The name could be a reference to the American best-selling romantic suspense novel author Julie Ann Walker.
Krum family

The **Krum family** is a canonical Bulgarian wizarding family.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Krum family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
One of Viktor Krum's grandfathers was killed by Grindelwald in or before 1945, but it is not known if it was his paternal or maternal grandfather.

It is said that Viktor eventually "found love" in Bulgaria, but not whether he actually married.

Among Bulgarian muggles, *Krum* is a given name rather than a surname; among others it was the name of a early-ninth-century ruler of Bulgaria, Krum the fearsome, who greatly expanded their territory and is known for the first written Bulgarian laws. The normal way to form a surname out of it would yield *Krumov* (Крумов), and it may be that *Krum* is an incorrect Anglization. However, it may also be that Bulgarian wizarding surnames work differently than the muggle ones.

## Non-canonical information

In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said that Viktor Krum's mother was muggle-born and studied at the Beauxbatons Academy, even though she was Bulgarian.

## Family members

### Canonical

* Viktor Krum, Tri-wizard champion and National Quidditch team seeker.
* Viktor Krum's father

* Viktor Krum's grandfather (maybe)
* Viktor Krum's Bulgarian love (maybe)
Moonstone

**Moonstone**, also known as **wishing stone**, is a medium-value gemstone and a canonical potion ingredient; there is also some evidence of it being used to facilitate conjuration.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Moonstone** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Powdered moonstone is used in Draught of Peace, the likely experimental Potion No. 86 and various love potions. In a source of low but non-zero canonicity (Hogwarts Legacy) moonstones are used to conjure objects.

Muriel's tiara, worn by Fleur Delacour at her wedding, is set with moonstones and diamonds.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, Dumbledore modifies the Pater's Ritual to create a link to a Dark Mark rather than to transfer it, by using moonstone instead of blood. (The specific use of either in the ritual is not known, but likely either as part of a potion or as (part of) a pigment to draw symbols.) Fleur's engagement ring is said to have a large moonstone framed by small diamonds, similar to the canonical tiara.

Household magic

**Household magic** is a canonical term for any magic that can be used to do housework; it is also referred to as **workaday magic**.

## Canonical information

Zamira Gulch wrote a book called *Practical Household Magic*. Molly Weasley, Apolline Delacour and Andromeda Tonks have all been described as skilled in this type of magic, although it is not clear whether this is objectively true in comparison with other magical housewives, or merely the impression of their less skilled children.

Canonical spells that are likely considered household magic include those for cleaning, darning, knitting, packing, preparing meals and washing up.

## Non-canonical information

*See also:* Category:Household magic
* In *All the Dementors of Azkaban*, the book *Household Charms for the Charming Household* is mentioned; among other spells it contains dusting charms (plural!) and a Pillow-fluffing charm.

* *The Family Clock* mentions an ironing charm; the Chronometrancy charm may or may not also be counted in this category.

* *The Power of Seven* mentions a preservation charm that presumably could be used to keep food fresh.

Leticia Bones

**Leticia Bones** is a non-canonical witch and auror mentioned in *The Family Clock*; she represents the "Ministry of Social Affairs" (possibly a misnomer for the muggle Department of Social Security) in cases concerning orphaned witches or wizards. She is six years older than Jessie Tickes and was sorted into Ravenclaw.

How (or even if) she is related to Susan and Amelia Bones, or to Alexander Bones, is not known; she is not old enough to be Susan's (or Alexander's) mother, and while she could theoretically be an older sister it may be more likely that she is more distantly related, or not at all.

### Occupation

Hogwarts student

**Kyle Clemons** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; he was in the year over Katie Bell, and she fancied him until they went flying together and he realized that she was a better flyer than he was. The fact that he couldn't accept this, even though she was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team with weekly training sessions while he merely flew for the fun of it, made it obvious that he was not the right one for her. No House affiliation is mentioned.

Mel Redfern

**Melanie "Mel" Belle Redfern** is a non-canonical half-blood witch and pawn broker mentioned in *The Family Clock*; she is one of the Redfern triplets and was sorted into Gryffindor. Like her sisters, she is a metamorphmagus, so her looks can change, but her default hair colour is "almost-auburn"; she is not quite 180 cm (5'11") tall, and likes to wear boots. She is named after "the two strongest women in *Gone with the Wind*, that PMS headcase and her ilk be damned", and suspects that she would have had another middle name if Mammy's real name had ever been mentioned.

The Redfern sisters are three weeks younger than Jessie Tickes, meaning they were born either in mid-November 1977 or in early August 1978 (see The Family Clock#Timeline inconsistencies). They don't know the order they were born in, since their birth certificates all have the same time; it was magically read from the nearest timepiece, which happened to be stopped.

Mel is a lesbian, and has a bit of a crush (which she knows full well is not requited) on Jessie. In seventh year, while not officially out even to her family, Mel dated Alicia Spinnet; she may also have tried to get together with Rebecca Feathersham.

At some time during their Hogwarts years, Mel was bullied and the prefects didn't do anything about it until her sister Sam stepped in and demanded they act.

Lavender Brown's father

**Lavender Brown's father** is a demi-canonical wizard, i.e. one whose existence is implied, but not actually mentioned, in canon. As such, he has been given various names and descriptions in different stories; see links below.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Lavender Brown's father** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Given that his daughter was born during the 1979/80 scholastic year, he was likely born in the 1940s or 1950s; since she is a pure-blood he most likely is as well. He presumably is married to her mother (in the French version of *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*, the letter mentioning the death of her pet rabbit Binky is said to have come from her parents rather than merely "from home").

Persistent rumours suggest that he may be related to Scottish Rugby player Kelly Brown.

Minister for Magic in the Caribbean

**Minister for Magic in the Caribbean** is a non-canonical political office in the Caribbean Magical Community mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; it is presumably similar to its British equivalent, at least in broad strokes: democratically elected, balanced by some sort of parliamentary body, and in communication with the corresponding muggle governments. In 1996, it was held by Sachin Joseph.
Lyon family

The **Lyon family** is a non-canonical American wizarding family mentioned in The Family Clock; they are known for their magical watchmakers and run Lyon et Fils in New Orleans, Louisiana. They trace their origin to the muggle watchmaker Gustave Lyon, who in 1813 married the witch Daphne Gautier; their children started serving both muggle and magical customers.

Opacus fulgoris

### Effect

Dark flames shoot from the wand, igniting target on impact and adding momentum to it

**Opacus fulgoris** is a non-canonical curse mentioned in *The Code*; it throws "dark flames" at the target, which ignites on impact and may also be physically moved up to several feet depending on mass. This spell is effective against spirits such as ghosts, poltergeists and "dark ghouls" (markedly different from canonical ghouls), but will also hurt corporeal beings (e g humans) and objects; the fire burns very hot, spreads easily and not just resists but is in fact strengthened by most common Fire-suppression charms.

## Etymology

The Latin adjective *opacus* means 'dark, shaded, casting shade'; the form is nominative singular masculine. The noun *fulgoris* 'lightning, flash, brightness', while masculine, is however in *genitive* singular; if the intended meaning is 'dark fire', something like *fulgor opacus* (or possibly, in genitive, *fulgoris opaci*) would be expected.

Hogwarts students by year

Below are links to categories that collect wizards and witches attending Hogwarts in a specific year. For each school year and house (including *unknown/uncertain*) there may be up to four categories: one each for canonical and non-canonical characters known to have attended that year, and one each for those whose attendance is possible but not certain because their exact birth year is not known. (However, if no person fitting a specific combination has yet been included in the wiki, that category will not exist.) The first index is useful to follow a specific house through the years, while the second is better when looking at different houses in a specific year.

Note that the school years are sorted based on the fall term only, so that for example the 1999/2000 school year can be found in the 20th century and 1990-1999 links, but not in the 21st century and 2000-2009 ones.
Magical desk lamp

A non-canonical **magical desk lamp** is mentioned in *The Code*; it has several options for lighting, ranging from daylight through dusk to firelight and a "midnight setting" where it projects the night-sky constellations on the ceiling (whether the last one adjusts for factors such as latitude, season or time of the day, or simply projects the same stars at all times, is not known).
Hufflepuff students

**Hufflepuff students** can be found on the following pages:

* Category:Hufflepuff contain characters known to have been sorted into Hufflepuff house, regardless of their age or canonicity.
* The School year categories have subcategories listing canonical and non-canonical Hufflepuff students known to have attended that year, but do not separate them into first-years, second-years etc. (If a subcategory is missing, no such student has yet been added to the wiki.)
* For students attending school during the same years as Harry Potter, lists specifying house, year and canonicity are available: 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 14/95, 1995/96, 1996/97, 1997/98. Note that these lists are updated manually and may therefore be incomplete with regards to non-canonical characters.

Orion Black's bedroom

**Orion Black's bedroom** is a demi-canonical room at 12 Grimmauld Place, meaning that while it is not mentioned in canon, it can reasonably be expected to have existed. (One might argue that he might have shared a bedroom with his wife, but Sirius refers to it as "my mother's room" rather than "my parents' room" even though he ran away from home some three years before his father died, suggesting that they indeed had separate rooms.)

## Canonical information

Main article: **12 Grimmauld Place** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
If Orion did have a separate room, it seems likely to have been on the third floor like Walburga's, although the ones on first and second floor can't be entirely excluded.

## Non-canonical information

### *A Godfather's Promise*

In this story, Orion's room is said to be the biggest and warmest room in the house, with a king-size bed and large windows letting in sunlight during the afternoon (so probably to the south or south-west). It is contra-canonically said to be on the top floor, above the third, where canon only has the ones used by Sirius and Regulus.
Muggle-born

**Muggle-born** is a canonical concept related to blood purity; it refers to a wizard or witch whose parents are both muggles. This is contrasted with pure-bloods, who have only magic-using ancestors for at least three generations, and half-bloods who have at least one magic-using parent but also at least one muggle or muggle-born grandparent.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Muggle-born** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, it is said that "roughly thirteen percent [of the wizarding population] is Muggle-born".
Lionel David

**Lionel David** is a non-canonical wizard mentioned in *The Code*; he was in the same year at Hogwarts as Bill Weasley (i e nine years above Harry) and became his main academic rival, going so far as to sabotage his efforts in order to win the title of Head Boy. However, given that Bill was used to the antics of Fred and George, he wasn't very successful and from the way Bill would later describe his attempts they appear to have been fairly childish.

It is not stated which House Lionel belonged to, nor what his blood status is. There is no mention of a competition for the prefect's badge, which *could* indicate that he won the badge for another House (or at least didn't compete with *Bill* for it; being a prefect is not a prerequisite for becoming Head Boy), but this could also simply have been glossed over in the narration.

Paul Deroulede

**Paul Etienne Deroulede *fils*** is a non-canonical French wizard and magical clockmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; he works at Clovier & Deroulede and was called to Bern to sit his Chronologie Mechanique master in October 1996. His age is not mentioned, but he seems to be only slightly older than Jessie Tickes, whom he played with as a child and now calls  *'tite soeur* ('little sis'), meaning he was born in the 1970s. The two took the journeyman test together, probably during the summer of 1993 (Jessie was fifteen at the time, yet celebrated with the Redfern triplets during their fifth year).

Despite his mother's objections, Paul is dating Juliette Devereaux, a muggle-born witch of considerably smaller economical means who works as a lighting designer and stage director at a cabaret in Montmartre. He has a tendency to act behind the scenes to help her, without telling her about it; he bought the apartment house she lives in so that she could move out of the garret, and he has bought 58 % of the company she works for to stop the previous owners from bankrupting it.

In October 1996 he sent Charlie Weasley's book The Dragons of Tirgoviste to Gudule Lyon anonymously, which triggered her curiosity, and once she had read it (in a single night) she wrote a half-page review praising it, increasing the sales enormously. This he did in order to see Jessie's reaction when he suggested, in front of Charlie, that it was she who had sent it; he knew that buying Juliette's company put him in an awkward position, and wanted to know how Jessie would approach a similar situation, but he wasn't sure if the advice she would give if he asked her would be what she would actually do herself.

## Physical appearance

Paul is at least 6'6" ("easily a foot" taller than Jessie, who is 5'6"). He has brown hair with a cut similar to Bill Weasley's, i.e. long and in a ponytail.

Myron Tickes I

*This article is about the 18th-century muggle clockmaker and founder of the Tickes family. You may be looking for his 20th-century descendant Myron Tickes.*
**Myron Tickes I**, born **Johannes Montreschmitt**, is a non-canonical historical Swiss muggle clockmaker mentioned in The Family Clock, and the ancestor of the Tickes family.

Johannes seems to have been born sometime during the first two decades of the 18th century. According to family history he was somehow involved in the War of the Polish Succession 1733-1735 and tried to leave Europe near the end of it, heading to the British colonies in America. Unfortunately, he hardly spoke any English and on top of that had needed to have a tooth pulled out shortly before reaching shore, so he had some trouble communicating with the customs officials. Due to some comic mishaps, the clerk noted his name as *Myron Tickes*, whereupon Johannes got so mad that he grabbed the slip of paper and went back to his ship – except it was the wrong ship and he ended up in London, where the immigration clerk promptly registered him under the name used in the American paper. Johannes, now Myron, resigned himself to his new name and set about to learn English. Two years later he married the woman who taught him, Fiona Gardner, and adopted her son Ian; after three more years came James and after another five John.

In 1756 both sons left home: James enrolled in the British army (by lying about his age, as he was only 16) and John received his Hogwarts letter. Myron was dismissive of magic, but very proud of his older son's service – right up until he received the news of his death, at the end of the colonial French and Indian War 1754-1763. He then set fire to his portrait of king George III and declared "Let no son of mine ever again take sides with a nation against another, and I will be contented," and thus began the famous Tickes family neutrality.

Incupricata

**Incupricata** is a non-canonical shielding charm mentioned in *The Family Clock*; when cast on windows it will make them dent rather than break. It will also make them "all shiny for a while", probably meaning more reflective rather than outright glowing.

## Etymology

Presumably from Latin *in-* 'into' and *cuprum* 'copper', possibly with the (English) adjective-forming suffix *-ic* and verb-forming suffix *-ate* for a meaning along the lines of 'to turn into copper', which would then have been "relatinized" with an ending -a, seemingly inspired by the feminine perfect passive participle of the first conjugation (so, 'having been turned into copper'). However, while both *-ic* and *-ate* have Latin roots this formation pattern would not work in actual Latin, and the participle would imply a Latin verb *\*incuprico* that does not seem to have existed.
Master Zheng's martial arts school

**Master Zheng's martial arts school** is a non-canonical dojo mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; it is run by Master Zheng and located in Reading, Berkshire, near the school where (in this story) Harry and Justin Finch-Fletchley went before they got their Hogwats letters. It is a smaller building than the school (hardly surprising) and has Chinese characters in the sign.

This led to Emperor Claudius later selecting Lucius' grandson to lead the Roman invasion of Britain, and awarding him with the governorship of the new province (the name *Aulus Plautius*, mentioned in this role in muggle textbooks, was invented after the introduction of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy to avoid drawing attention to House Potter).

In later passages, *Magnus* is instead the grandson and the "leader of the First Arcane Legion under Caesar" was named *Maximus*; whether his first name also was *Lucius* – making it easy to confuse the two – is not clear.

Mint

**Mint** is a non-canonical potion ingredient mentioned in *The Prisoner*; it is a genus of some 13-24 species, as well as many hybrids and cultivars, growing naturally across large parts of the Earth. Mints are perennial herbs with square branched stems growing to a height of between 10 and 120 cm (4"-3'), and tend to spread over large areas if left unchecked. Leaves are oblong, often downy, with a serrated edge and are arranged in opposite pairs; the colour ranges from dark green and grey-green to purple, blue and sometimes pale yellow. The flowers are produced in long bracts from leaf axils. They are white to purple and produced in false whorls called verticillasters. The corolla is two-lipped with four subequal lobes, the upper lobe usually the largest. The fruit is a nutlet, containing one to four seeds.

Mint is used in Caelum's medicinal oil, likely in the form of *mint oil* (or possibly pure *menthol*). (Given that menthol has documented counterirritant qualities and is widely used among muggles to relieve minor throat irritation, it is not entirely clear whether this use is indeed magical in nature.)

Deep Ones

**Innsmouth** is a crossover town in Massachusetts, USA taken from the Cthulhu Mythos; in It's Always The Quiet Ones it is said that Luna's mother's great-grandfather hailed from there.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Innsmouth** at *The H. P. Lovecraft Wiki*
Innsmouth is a seaside town in Essex county, Massachusetts, which between 1846 and 1928 was run by Deep Ones and their human and human-hybrid allies through the *Esoteric Order of Dagon*. This meant human sacrifices and interbreeding in return for gold artifacts and an unusually high bounty of fish.
Niels Nielsen VII

### Occupation

Watchmaker at Nielsens Ure

**Niels Nielsen VII** is a non-canonical Danish wizard and magical watchmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; he is the father of Niels Nielsen VIII and presumably the owner of, or a partner in, Nielsens Ure.

Since his son was born in the mid-1970s, he can hardly have been born later than 1960 and most likely in the 1940s or 1950s.

Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures

**David Birch** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he is a year above Harry, sorted into Hufflepuff and a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures because he is secretly a *drus* (male dryad) trying to pass as human. He is dating Brook Baye, another member of the society, and while the longstanding political feuding between their respective species means that their relationship is not easy, by the end of 1995 they have reached the point of wanting to introduce their families to one another.

Ravenclaw

**Justin Steele** is a canonical wizard and Hogwarts student; he is somewhere between the year above and two years below Harry, and was sorted into Ravenclaw. During the 1996/97 school year, he was seen in the company of Daisy Corran and Banga O'Deluga.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Justin Steele** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Justin only appears in two sources of low, but non-zero, canonicity: the console version of the Prisoner of Azkaban video game and the Nintendo DS version of the Half-Blood Prince video game. He has light skin, blond hair and brown eyes.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Code*, Justin is a member of the Neutral Party of the Debate Class (and thus implied to be in either Harry's year or the year above), giving the following reason: "I don’t like a lot of the extreme rhetoric I’m hearing from each side. It sort of scares me. I feel more comfortable with the Neutral group." (This would also suggest that he is not muggle-born, since those students would generally join the Equality Party.)

Owl flu

**Owl flu** is a non-canonical disease mentioned in The Family Clock; in what ways it is different from ordinary flu is not described, but at least on humans, muggle medicine has better effect than magical healing. It is either common, or there was an outbreak sometime between 1988 and 1996 (Ian and Jessie Tickes were treated by their stepmother, who married their father around 1988).

Presumably, it is some form of Avian influenza, but it is unlikely to be the one commonly referred to as "bird flu" (HPAI A(H5N1) Asian strain) since that one first showed up in 1997, and didn't spread outside China until 2003; however, there was an outbreak of a related strain among turkeys in England in 1991, and there are of course many other forms. Also, if the main vector was owls an outbreak wouldn't necessarily have been noted by muggles.

Pater's Ritual

The **Pater's Ritual** is a non-canonical ritual mentioned in *The Code*; it transfers a curse from one person to another. It is said to be "ancient", but if this should be taken as a reference to the historical period known as antiquity or merely means "very old" is not clear; supposedly it was created by a father who sacrificed himself for the sake of his son. Although it is not described in detail, from the small part of it that is shown it seems that it does not need to be actively performed by the recipient; however, it likely includes some other clear indication of their willingness to receive the curse.

In September 1996, Dumbledore developed a variant using moonstone instead of blood, which created a bond between the recipient and the cursed so that, rather than transferring the curse, it left both affected by it; this let him give Bill Weasley the ability to feel the summons sent to Snape's Dark Mark and to use the included apparition directions.

Lukas Malfoy

**Lukas Malfoy** is a non-canonical historical young French wizard mentioned in *The Code*; he is the twelve years older illegitimate half-brother of Draco Malfoy, who was murdered when Draco was seven. Draco only met him on holidays and over the summer, but whether this was because Lukas was away at school (presumably Beauxbatons) or because he lived with his mother the rest of the time is not known. During the summer of 1987, "soon after" Draco's seventh birthday (which in this story is in early July — in 1997, the day after the last day of school), as Draco describes it, “He came in one day and said that he was going to marry a Muggle girl. He was so happy. He was smiling. He was still smiling when the Kedavra hit, he never even saw it coming." The curse did not come from Lucius, who had been "struck almost dumb with shock and rage", so presumably Narcissa (or possibly Lucius' mother) was the guilty party; Draco reckons that his father, if he had had the chance, would have limited himself to disowning his son for such a "betrayal". He is buried in France (where the family lived at the time), and Lucius has a fresh bouquet of flowers delivered to his grave every week.

Lukas is said to have loved his little brother, to have laughed a lot and to have liked playing games; he was never "the jealous sort". However, this assessment may be biased since, as already mentioned, Draco only saw him on holidays and over the summer.

He is said to have been very similar to Draco at the same age, except for having bright blue eyes; he had pale skin, white-blond hair and a handsome face. He spoke with a tenor voice.

## Trivia

* The family is said to have moved to England the day after Lukas' burial; however, in another context Draco says that this move happened when he was eight, and "after my grand-mère died", so either one of these statements is incorrect or the burial didn't happen until a year had passed — possibly due to conflict between Lucius and his mother, if she was the one who cursed Lukas. Then again, if there is any connection between the two deaths Draco does not seem to be aware of it.

* Lukas is said to have been "the result of a teenage fling of Lucius"; from canonical evidence, depending on their exact birth dates, Lucius would have been between thirteen and fifteen years old when Lukas was born.

* About a year before he was killed, Lukas took Draco (then six years old) to France's magical zoo, where they saw a phoenix; this trip is one of Draco's favourite memories of his brother. Another time they sneaked out and visited a muggle zoo; this memory is what Draco usually uses for the Patronus Charm.

* Before Christmas of 1996, Lukas was the last person to give Draco a personal, *meaningful* gift.

1991/92 school year

The **1991/92 school year** is covered in canon by ***Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone***; see also 1991–1992 school year at the *Harry Potter Wiki*, as well as 1991/92, 1991 and 1992.

## Hogwarts Staff

### Prefects

In a source of limited (but non-zero) canonicity, no less than 21(!) further male prefects active during 1993/94
have been named, beyond the canonical Cedric Diggory, Marcus Turner and Percy Weasley; at most nine of them can be considered canonical, and there is no way to determine which unless more data is released. However, if any of them are considered canonical, some of them may have been fifth-year prefects this year as well.

## Students

### In Hogwarts

\*Far too many people have been claimed to be prefects during the 1993/94 school year, so some of the students of unknown year and unknown house marked (3-5) above may perhaps be younger than that.

\*\*A surprisingly high number of people with Japanese names could be seen on the Marauders' Map during the 1993/94 school year. While most other categories of foreign names present can be explained by historical movements within the British Empire and/or Commonwealth, these cannot; if perhaps there was an (otherwise unannounced) exchange program with Mahoutokoro, or some other more temporary reason for them to be there, they may not have been present in other years.

### In other schools

**Note:** In the following table, years are given as "Hogwarts equivalent", i e the year they would have been in had they gone to Hogwarts. Other schools may have different matriculation and/or graduation ages, so the actual designations could be different. Also, schools outside of Britain would not necessarily use the same "cut-off date" (1 September) to decide which year a student belongs to.

As there are so very few canonical students in other schools, they are written in **bold** rather than on their own row.

Humperdink

A **Humperdink** is a non-canonical Lunacy (i.e. a creature that Luna Lovegood, but hardly anybody else, believes exists) mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; little is known about them except that they can affect people, from the context perhaps making them stupid, stubborn or uncaring. (How this effect would be triggered is not explained.)
Mirror charm

The **mirror charm** is a non-canonical shield spell mentioned in *The Code*; it reflects incoming spells, as well as physical objects, back towards the source. It is said to be the quickest of all shield spells to cast, and experienced duelists (and cursebreakers) may be able to cast it by sheer reflex.
