The Nott Family

**Nott** was the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. The family was old, and seemed to be of a similar status as the Malfoys, with whom they were acquainted.

The Notts generally seemed to be sorted into Slytherin house upon attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## History

Not much is noted about the Nott family. But most know it all started by one man, Cantankerus Nott. Cantankerus is a wizard and a member of the pure-blood Nott family. He was widely believed to have been the one who penned the *Pure-Blood Directory*. This book listed the "twenty-eight truly pure-blood families", with "*the aim of helping such families maintain the purity of their bloodlines*". The book was also published anonymously in Britain in the early 1930s. Cantankerus strictly believed in blood purity; disdaining Muggles, Squibs, Muggleborns and Blood-traitors.

Cantankerus married Elladora Bulstrode, a beautiful young pureblood witch, and she kind of immediately took the surname Nott. The two led a happy life as rulers of the Pure-blood aristocracy. They had a child after two years of marriage. Barnaby Nott was born 9 months later. Of course, Cantankerus raised him with strict beliefs and taught him that pure-bloods are superior. Barnaby grew up to look exactly like his father. Just like Cantankerus, Barnaby was sorted into the Slytherin house, and after graduating from Hogwarts, Barnaby began working somewhere, but it is unknown where.

Barnaby married a woman, Imogen Carrow, after many years. Nonetheless, the generation of Nott was passed on to Theodore. Theodore is the eldest of the three children they obtained. He had many interests in common with his father and grandfather. Giving him the confidence to follow in his father's footsteps. Lucien arrived years later. He resembled his mother. To his father's displeasure, Lucien didn't resemble him at all, which caused dozens of new issues. Their third child was born two years after Lucien. Anthonio is a sweet little boy. Barnaby was a god in his eyes, and everything he said was correct. Little Anthonio also began to believe in Pure-Blood supremacy, leaving Lucien as the only one who did not.

## Members

### **Barnaby Nott:**

Barnaby Nott, a 45-year-old Pure-Blood wizard from Seer Green, Buckinghamshire.  He is the only child of Cantankrus and Elladora Nott, and the father of three sons, Theodore, Lucien, and Anthonio. Nott was shown to be incredibly sycophantic about eveything that has something to do with pure-blood supremacy. Barnaby inherited many of his father's attitudes toward children because he grew up in a strict household. He's not afraid to slap or kick them. Lucien does not fit in with Barnaby's favorite sons, Anthonio and Theodore. Notts' love for the piano grew as a result of his mother teaching him at such a young age. He now uses it to scare his middle son Lucien by playing parts of songs while telling him a strict, almost biblical story about how he is a disgrace to the family in his eyes. His job is unknown, but he does not appear to be unemployed. Barnaby is sometimes seen struggling with his wife and children, but deep down he loves them... Well some of them, at least.

### Imogen Nott:

Imogen Nott is 39 years old and was born in the Carrow family. She grew up with her older sister, Elizabeth Carrow. Elizabeth accompanied Grindelwald to Paris, and she took part along with the other acolytes in murdering a Non-Magique man and woman, along with their infant son, whom she murdered personally on Grindelwald's orders with the Killing Curse. Imogen has never supported Grindelwald or her sister, and she will never do so. Imogen was sorted into the Hufflepuff house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That was where she met her husband. He was a few years older, but it made no difference. Imogen was always kind and considerate, no matter what. Barnaby loved her and would never do anything to hurt her. When the couple had children, she noticed a different side to Barnaby; he was strict and rude. Not to their eldest or youngest son, but to Lucien, their middle child. Imogen had to sneak food upstairs for Lucien without Barnaby knowing, or both of them would be in big trouble. She formed a strong bond with her children and became a reliable figure in his life. When Lucien ran away, she spent the entire night outside searching. Imogen now works from home until all of her children attend Hogwards. She will then be able to return to her actual job as a professional dueller.

### Theodore Nott:

Theodore Nott is the family's eldest son. And a carbon copy of his father. Theodore is in his fifth year at Hogwarts and a beater on the Slytherin quidditch team. At school, he keeps an eye on his younger brother Lucien to ensure that he does not befriend any Muggle-born and that he does his best in class. If there will be one thing he despises, it's Mudbloods and Blood-traitors. Theodore, like his father, and a sycophant when it comes to blood supremacy. He's quiet, exceptionally intelligent, and completely cynical; he has a superiority complex, believing that he's above the rest. Theodore is a keen observer of his surroundings, passing judgment on everyone and making wry, snarky disdainful remarks about them. At times, Theo dreams, he exterminated every muggle born on the planet.

### Lucien Nott:

Lucien is the Nott family's middle child. He is unlike any of his relatives and pursues his own life at Hogwarts. When Lucien first arrived at Hogwarts, he quickly realized that his blood status wasn't all that essential. He made a lot of new friends in the Gryffindor house, and he didn't seem to care about their blood status. The rumors soon reached his father. When Lucien returned home during the winter holiday, Barnaby was not pleased. He let Lucien say horrible things about himself and smacked him if he didn't like it. Encouraging him to say that he was useless and a failure.  Lucien made an effort to conceal the fact that his father was abusive. In his thoughts, he kept repeating the phrase "say it, mean it, do it." Years passed, and as a "blood-traitor," Lucien was well-known in the Slytherin house. But, thanks to Nova Black and Percy Black, he wasn't alone. He didn't seem to care what other people thought of them being friends with non-full blooded wizards. Meanwhile, Lucien's only strong bond is with his younger brother Anthonio, to whom he continues to write every day.

### Anthonio Nott:

Anthonio is the youngest of the three boys. He has his mother's sweet and caring personality, but he considers his father as a god. Nothing he says is false, and no one can convince him otherwise. Anthonio sees everything Barnaby does positively. Lucien tried several times to explain to him that he's no good, and that you should not follow in his footsteps. But Anthonio is as obstinate as his mother. He's a boy who could change his attitude at any time, but he genuinely cares about his siblings, especially Lucien. Anthonio would cry as he prepared to leave for Hogwarts because he would miss him so much. Lucien made amends by hosting a sleepover in his room and promising to write to him on a daily basis. Despite his older brother Lucien's bad experience with Barnaby, he still tries to raise Anthonio according to his father's rules, making sure nothing bad happens to him.
