House Prewett

# **Summary**

**House Prewett** is a Common House, meaning they are not members of the Wizengamot despite predating both the Ancient & Noble and Noble Houses of the Wizengamot in Britannia, founded in Godric's Hollow and established sometime around the 2nd Century A.D. The de-facto leader of the House is Connor - son of Alastair, brother of Virgil, Finlay, and Rory, father of Gideon and Fabian, and grandfather of Bill, Charlie, Percy, George, Fred, and Ron.

# **History**

## **Background**

**The Prewetts** are a notably large family, with history noting their existence since the 2nd Century AD in Britannia. They clashed with invading magical Vikings, eventually intermarrying with some and introducing the Berserker bloodline into the family. A very small handful were members of the Druidic Mystagogues of olde but they were primarily a magical Battle Clan, raising arms against the first invading families of the 5th and 6th Century.

After a lot of internal conflict, the invading families conceded to the Druidic Mystagogue members, ultimately agreeing to a surrender should the Roman invaders pledge to preserve the mystical secrets passed down since the Fall of Avalon. The invading families noted the Prewetts' battle magic prowess, most notably Dòmhnall, Taskill, Angus, Raghnaid, and Hilda. The family's motto - ***Nostra Furor Est*** - represents the family's infallible fury and might against an enemy. Their crest - a black bear rampant with red claws and tongue wearing a gold crown and bearing a gold-hilted sword - furthers this point.

The Prewetts once more rose up arms with the Norman Conquest, creating an alliance of necessity with Houses Potter, Bones, Black, and Longbottom. After the establishment of the Wizards' Peace Accord of the 11th century and the subsequent establishment of the Wizengamot, House Prewett continued intermarrying into Ancient and Noble and Noble Houses to spread their influence, demurring being added to the Wizengamot. Almost every House in the Wizengamot has a Prewett ancestor, ancestress, or relative. The formation of the Knights of Albion saw them fight as 'men-at-arms' (on par with Knights Banneret) for House Bones and Longbottom, though that ended at the advent of the International Statute of Secrecy.

At the current time, the Prewetts are primarily a pureblood family, with a handful of Halfbloods and Muggleborns. They hold varying careers in the Wizarding World, working for the Ministry (including the DMLE and DoM), the *Daily Prophet*, or in other independent careers. Though of less than middling wealth and sociopolitical influence, the family is highly regarded as an ancient line and are esteemed members of The Sacred 28.

## **The Family Residences**

**The Prewett Hearth** is the family's founding residence, located on a few blood-warded acres in Godric's Hollow. It's located a few houses away from Godric Gryffindor's ancestral home. It was the childhood home of Molly, Gideon, and Fabian and a plethora of Prewetts past.

**Prewett's Landing** is located in Inverness, a strategic military stronghold to help stave off the invading Romans and provide an additional tactical advantage as the conflict raged on. It served the same purpose with the arrival of William the Conqueror in 1066. It is the primary residence of Prewetts who reside in Scotland.

**The Prewett Abode** is the family's primary Irish residence, located in the wizarding enclave of Kenmare.
