Knockturn Alley

**Knockturn Alley** is a canonical shopping district in London, on a side street to Diagon Alley; it tends to be the place to go to for less reputable activities, including (but not limited to) shops related to the Dark Arts.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Knockturn Alley** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The early films put the entrance (or at least *an* entrance) to Knockturn Alley right beside the Leaky Cauldron, while Pottermore apparently showed entrances further out in both South and North Side of Diagon Alley. Horizont Alley, a cross street to Diagon (rather than a side street) introduced at the *Wizarding World* theme park, also connects to Knockturn Alley.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Family Clock*

In this story it is said that, beside the muggle-born (who have to be told about it), the only wizards and witches in Great Britain who do not feel ill at ease in Knockturn are the old Diagon trade families who live in the area and use the same back alleys and loading docks, and even they look down at the people working there. In 1996, the Knockturn Alley Chamber of Commerce was founded.

Meepy

**Meepy** is a non-canonical house-elf of undetermined gender mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; they have served the Bones family since before Susan was born (so at least 1979/80) and together with other house-elves did the lion's part in raising her since her aunt was so busy. They are her main source on her family's history, but has mostly told her about the oldest layers in pre-Norman Northumbria.

Occlumency

**Occlumency** is a canonical discipline of magic used to shield one's mind from legilimency; a practitioner of this art is known as an **occlumens**.

## Canonical information

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

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said that trying to learn occlumency while too young is dangerous – more so the more intelligent the child is – as it may destroy the mind; according to Sirius Black, Lily Evans almost died from it. (The same danger is likely present for legilimency as well, since the text mostly refers to the Mind Arts rather than occlumency specifically.)
Millicent Bulstrode

**Millicent Bulstrode** is a canonical half-blood witch and Hogwarts student in the same year as Harry. She was sorted into Slytherin, and in the 1996 spring term she was a member of the Inquisitorial Squad.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Millicent Bulstrode** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
In 1992, Hermione made Polyjuice Potion with a hair she thought came from Millicent, but which turned out to have come from her cat. This cat was black, so for such a mistake to be made, Millicent's hair must also be black. She is said to have a large body and a heavy, jutting jaw.

The Bulstrode family has historically been a pure-blood family, counted among the Sacred Twenty-Eight, but Millicent is listed as a half-blood; this likely indicates that one of her maternal grandparents was a muggle-born. Based solely on the birth years of her children, Violetta Black née Bulstrode could be e g the aunt of Millicent's paternal grandfather.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Code*

In this slightly AU story, Millicent and Cassius Warrington are the beaters on the 1996/97 Slytherin Quidditch team (instead of the canonical Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle); however, in the week before Valentine's Day she threatens to leave the team if Draco doesn't let her take a broom from the broom shed so that she can fly to the top of the Astronomy Tower in the middle of the night and ask Eugene Burlington, a Hufflepuff beater, for a date during his Astrology lesson. She is said to "gossip about the drama in the other houses" with Agathe.

### Minor appearances

* In *Breath Mints / Battle Scars*, aurors led by John Dawlish of the Crusaders For Justice raid the Slytherin dormitories in February 1999, arresting a number of students for "retrial"; among them is Millicent. During the trial she breaks down, weeping and apologizing, and asks to be given veritaserum; she then describes how she had always been ostracized and ridiculed, and how the followers of Voldemort were the first to accept her into their group. Since she had never used any unforgivables she is merely sentenced to a fine.

* In *Isolation*, Millicent is one of the "Enlightened" Slytherin students hiding in Andromeda Tonks' safe house. After the war, she lives with an uncle in Gloucestershire.

Megan (tormenting Luna)

**Megan** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; she is in the year below Harry, was sorted into Ravenclaw and seems to be the leader of the clique of girls who bully Luna Lovegood, e g by calling her ugly or a crazy bitch, stealing her shoes, socks and other belongings, moving her out of the bedroom while she sleeps or locking her out of the dormitory on a cold winter night.

Hogwarts werewolf rooms

The **Hogwarts werewolf rooms** are a non-canonical part of the Hogwarts dungeons mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; they are maintained by the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures as a safe place for werewolves to transform during the full moon. They are said to have been set up during the founding of the school, but at least since the early 19th century, when the HSMC was founded, they – and the presence of werewolves among the student body – have been kept secret even from most headmasters (the exceptions being the two who were former members of the society).

In early 1996, after Harry gave Dolores Umbridge the Dementor's kiss, Winky puts her still living but now soulless body in one of the unused werewolf rooms until it dies of natural causes.

**Maisie Weasley** (or possibly Jordan, Weasley-Jordan or Jordan-Weasley) is a contra-canonical young witch mentioned briefly in *Isolation*; she is the adopted daughter of Fred Weasley and his husband Lee Jordan, and the sister of Eleanor Weasley. Her age is not mentioned, but she seems to have been born sometime between the scholastic years of 1998/99 and the 2008/09.

Phoenix Concerto

The **Phoenix Concerto** is a non-canonical piano concerto mentioned in *The Code*; it is one of Draco's favourites due to its "ample opportunity for improvisation and interpretation", although he only plays it that way when he is alone. It expresses "the fury of the flames that sprang up, devouring and consuming the bird, before transforming into a slow, gentle fall of ash", but in the end "as the dirge swelled and became overwhelming, a familiar melody returned – the melody of life, the phoenix being reborn".

Jas. W. Tickes and Sons

**Jamesina Worthing Tickes**, a.k.a. **Jamesina Tickes I**, is a non-canonical historical witch and magical clockmaker mentioned in *The Family Clock*.

Jamesina was the daughter of magical clockmaker James Worthing Tickes, who in 1789 was granted the last Muggle artifact tampering license but died shortly thereafter, while his wife was still pregnant. When the child was born his now widowed wife, noticing an ink dot on the license after the name *James*, chose to interpret this as a sign of shortening and named her daughter *Jamesina Worthing Tickes*, claiming that the license was valid for her as well. This claim was apparently never questioned, and since then the Tickes family has had a James or Jamesina Worthing Tickes in each and every generation.

In Hogwarts, Jamesina was sorted into either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw (no Tickes has ever been in Gryffindor or Slytherin). However, while Jamesina did work in her father's business, given its name (Jas. W. Tickes and *Sons*, plural) she may not have been his only child and the line of inheritance may have passed her by. Whether she ever married or had children is unknown.

Master Zheng

**Master Zheng** is a non-canonical muggle martial arts teacher mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; he runs a martial arts school in Reading. In the summer of 1995 he is said to be "getting old", so he was likely born in the 1920s or 1930s.

He likes to say that (paraphrased) "breathing is a good way to keep a clear mind, and keeping a clear mind meant more than inner peace; it meant that your judgment was clear enough to correctly analyze a situation in order to find the best solution possible. A calm person is less prone to mistakes and more towards success, be it a test, a battle, or an argument".

## Contra-canonical information

In this story, Harry – being raised by Sirius Black – has learned breathing exercises to calm his temper and other relaxation techniques from him; he has also been taught how to fight multiple opponents by a Master Cheng, which may be a typo for Zheng.

Iceni Black

The **Iceni Black** is a non-canonical breed of Dragon mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*. It is said to have been the most dangerous magical creature known to the wizarding world, the only one worse than a basilisk, but also to have been extinct since Roman times. It appears on the arms of the Potter family, and in this story is the form taken by Harry's patronus. It was larger, as well as more intelligent, cunning and resourceful, than the Hungarian Horntail.

## Etymology

Given the connection with Romans, the breed is likely named after the Iceni, a Brittonic tribe that lived in present-day Norfolk during the Iron Age and early Roman era. They were a significant power in eastern Britain during the invasion of emperor Claudius – which in the same story is said to have been led by an ancestor of the Potter family, Lucius Poterius Magnus – and may be best known to the general public for their revolt under Queen Boudica seventeen years later.

This would make it the third dragon breed native to Great Britain, beside the Common Welsh Green and the Hebridean Black.

Kate Bowen

**Kate Bowen** is a non-canonical muggle-born witch mentioned in *The Family Clock*; she is known for her articles on magizoology. She worked for a while with Charlie Weasley in Romania, and also dated Ian Tickes in the early 1990s ("a few years ago" in 1996, but before she met Charlie), but later found herself a girlfriend named Samantha. She knows how to use Photoshop (first released in 1990) to create fake photos, such as Peter Pettigrew humping the leg of Lucius Malfoy.

## Physical description

Kate is blonde. Given that Ian graduated from Hogwarts in 1989, she was presumably also graduated when they dated, meaning she's at least five years older than Harry Potter but it could also be ten, twelve or even more.

Legilimency

**Legilimency** is a canonical discipline of magic, concerned with the interpretation of other people's minds; a practitioner of this art is called a **legilimens**. The art of shielding one's mind from legilimency is known as occlumency.

## Canonical information

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

* In *The Girl Who Loved*, it is said that legilimency is a required skill for all Heads of House in Hogwarts, although they do not necessarily all use it.

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said that trying to learn *the Mind Arts* (primarily referring to occlumency but likely also including at least legilimency) while too young is dangerous – and more so the more intelligent the child is – as it may destroy the mind; according to Sirius Black, Lily Evans almost died from it.

* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, it is said that magical creatures such as werewolves are more-or-less immune to many kinds of mind magic, which may or may not include legilimency.

* According to *The Power of Seven*, it is illegal to use legilimency on a minor, and anything learned using it on an adult is inadmissible as evidence in court.

Matthew Bastien

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the Hufflepuff veela masquerading as human**. You may be looking for **somebody else named Matthew**.

## Affiliation

### Loyalty

Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures

**Matthew Bastien** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he is two years above Harry, was sorted into Hufflepuff and is a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures as he's secretly a veela trying to pass as a human. (The concept of male full veela is not supported by canon, nor by the muggle legends formed around them, but does occasionally appear in fanfiction; the author does the same gender balancing with dryads.)

Throughout the fall term of 1995, Matthew is worried about his upcoming birthday, after which he will find the mate his magic has chosen for him (the text says this happens at seventeen, but also that he is a seventh-year – meaning that he will turn eighteen – and that fourth-year Colin Creevey will have to wait three more years for his). At the HSCM end-of-term party, held "in the middle of [...] the last week of the term" (i e Wednesday 20 December, most likely) it is said to be a week and six days left, placing the birthday itself on the 2 January. The mate turns out to be the Astronomy professor Aurora Sinistra, who in this story is younger than in canon, only "about six years older than Matthew", and luckily happens to be single. Since the Hogwarts regulations specifically allows relationships between teachers and students if they are life-mates, they spend Valentine's day having a romantic dinner on top of the Astronomy Tower, and when he during the summer receives Draco's midnight call for help, she comes along with him (implying they had spent the night together).

After graduating he found work in Hogsmeade, in order to stay close to Sinistra.

## Physical description

Matthew is described as tall and blond; according to Brook Baye, he is "*gorgeous*".

Hogwarts thestral herd

The **Hogwarts thestral herd** is a canonical herd of thestrals living in the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts, tamed and cared for by Rubeus Hagrid and trained to pull carriages and carry riders. He claims he may be the only one in Britain to have managed this feat, and it is relatively recent: he started with a stallion and five mares, and the first foal born, Tenebrus, is still living with them in 1996/97. While wild thestrals tend to hunt and eat birds, these are specifically trained not to (due to the amount of owls coming to and from the school) and are also fed well enough to not need to.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Hogwarts Thestral herd** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
In 1996, some members of the herd carried Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna to the Ministry of Magic in an attempt to save Sirius Black. They also participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, attacking death eaters and giants.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, a distinction is made between these *tamed*, free-roaming thestrals and the *domesticated* ones owned by various pure-blood families and kept in stables.

Pandora Lovegood

**Pandora Lovegood** (maiden name unknown) is a canonical historical British witch and the mother of Luna Lovegood; her name is not mentioned in the novels but was revealed by Rowling in a text published on *Pottermore* in 2015. Due to this, she has appeared in fanfiction under many other names (see below).

## Canonical information

Main article: **Pandora Lovegood** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Due to a spell experiment gone wrong, Pandora died in a "horrible manner" in front of her daughter, giving Luna the ability to see thestrals; Luna was nine years old at the time, placing it sometime between 13 February 1990 and 12 February 1991.

Based on a photograph, Pandora is said to have looked much like her daughter, meaning she likely had light skin and dirty-blonde hair, and perhaps also pale silvery eyes.

## Non-canonical information

### Under other names

* Aislinn Connolly (*The Prisoner*)
* Selene Lovegood (*Violence Inherent in the System*)

### Minor appearances

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, it is said that she was petite and that recently-fourteen-years-old Luna, who takes after her, does not expect to grow much taller. She taught her daughter spells to protect her feet and keep them clean so that she could walk barefoot through the forest outside their home, because "you notice a lot of things with your own two feet that you'll never notice with your eyes", and together with her husband also taught her Gobbledegook when she was six.

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, Luna's mother was a fairy like her daughter, but fell in love with and married a wizard sometime after Luna was born (but still a baby); the identity of Luna's biological father (if there was one) is never mentioned. Her name is never mentioned, but based on that of Luna's daughter Lily Selene Potter, it may have been *Selene*.

* In *It's Always The Quiet Ones*, it is implied that she was the great-granddaughter of either Obed Marsh or one of his sons, and thus a Deep One hybrid; her line of the family moved back to Britain from Innsmouth, Massachusetts, in 1847. It is not stated, however, if *her* maiden name was Marsh as well or if the inheritance was through her mother or a grandmother, nor in which generation the muggle-born wizard or witch was to be found.

### House

Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw

**John Tickes** is a non-canonical historical muggle-born wizard mentioned in *The Family Clock*; he was the Hogwarts champion in the 1762 Triwizard Tournament.

John seems to have been born in the 1744/45 scholastic year as the youngest son of formerly Swiss clockmaker Myron Tickes and his wife Fiona; he had a five years older brother James and a fourteen years older half-brother Ian. In 1756 he went to Hogwarts, where he was sorted into either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (no Tickes has ever been in Gryffindor or Slytherin), and in the fall term of 1762 he became the school's Triwizard champion. His father dismissed his abilities as trickery, but Ian supported his brother and was actually invited to watch the Tournament as John's guest. (This might imply that the competition was held at Beauxbatons that year, since Hogwarts is warded against muggles and Durmstrang, at least as judged by their current policies, would be unlikely to even consider allowing it. But it may of course also have been held at some location outside the wards, or he may have been granted some kind of temporary immunity from them.) After he graduated in 1763, he returned home on the very day the news of James' death reached the family; the older brother had joined the British army at about the same time that John went to Hogwarts, and had spent the last year fighting the French in the American colonies.

Next to nothing is known about John's life after school. He presumably married a witch, because he had a son whom he named after his brother; whether he had more than one child is not known. His son took up Myron's trade of clockmaking, founding Jas. W. Tickes and Sons in 1789; whether John also plied this trade in not known (but the fact that there is no sign that the name *John* is reused among his descendants, the way *James*, *Myron* and *Ian* are, may suggest that he didn't).

Pandora Lovegood's feet protection spells

**Pandora Lovegood's feet protection spells** refers to a non-canonical set of spells mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; Luna was taught these spells by her mother so that she would be able to walk barefoot in the forest without getting hurt or dirty, and they later turned out to be useful at Hogwarts as well when her shoes and socks kept getting stolen by her housemates.

The exact effects are not detailed, but presumably include preventing and/or treating bruises, cuts and sprains as well as the development of callouses and hardened soles; there may also be some element of automatic vanishment of dirt and/or application of disinfectant.
Midnight (thestral)

**Midnight** is a non-canonical thestral mare mentioned in *The Code*; she is part of the Hogwarts herd, and in late 1996 was hurt during an attack by wolves, bad enough to need stitches. By then, she is too old to train for shows or competitions, but where the limit for that is drawn is not said.

Invigoration Draught

***Recipe 2***

* Honeywater
* Vervain infusion
* Scurvy grass
* Lovage

**Invigoration Draught** is a canonical potion giving the drinker increased energy.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Invigoration Draught** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
This potion is taught in fifth year.

Most of the details on it come from sources of low canonicity (games) which partly contradict each other. Thus, the colour may be orange or blue, and the ingredient list is variously given as a) alihotsy leaves, dried billywig stings, peppermint, stewed mandrake and infusion of wormwood, or b) honeywater, vervain infusion, scurvy grass and lovage; one of them also states that the brewing time is three hours, while in the novel it is done within a single one-hour lesson. (It might be possible that there are several potions with different recipes but similar enough effects that little distinction is made between them.)

## Non-canonical information

### *The Code*

Here, the effect is said to last for eight to ten hours, after which the drinker suddenly gets tired again.

### *The Power of Seven*

Here it is said that the traditional potion, once it wears off, leaves the drinker more tired than they were before. When Hermione experiments with the recipe in order to improve this, replacing powdered dragon claw (notably *not* present in either of the canonical recipes) with Harry's magically active semen, the result is a strongly psychoactive drug with intoxicating fumes and aphrodisiac effects.

House-elf

A **house-elf**, or simply **elf**, is a canonical magical being known for its devotion and loyalty to a *master* – usually a witch or wizard, but there does not seem to be any specific reason to believe e.g. a centaur or a goblin, or in theory even a muggle human, would be unable to hold the position. In fact, while house-elves often serve families rather than specific individuals, with all family members considered masters, it is possible to give them to non-family members as part of a will, and presumably (although no mention is made in canon) they may also be bought and sold, or transferred in some other way. (It may be that they are connected more to a house than to a family, so that when the house is sold or given away, any elves are part of the deal.) Some house-elves also work for institutions, such as Hogwarts or St Mungo's, in which case they will normally accept orders from any staff member.

## Canonical information

Main article: **House-elf** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
House-elves are humanoid, generally between two and three feet tall, with spindly arms and legs and oversized heads and eyes. Their ears are pointed and bat-like and their voices are high and squeaky. They tend to wear discarded items such as pillowcases and tea towels instead of clothing, since a master giving an elf clothes is the symbolic act that ends their servitude.

## Non-canonical information

* In The Family Clock, the house-elves working at the Trans-European Rail have names that resemble normal human ones – such as Isambard – but only give nick-names such as *Izzy* to the customers, since this is what witches and wizards expect. According to Jessie Tickes, this is the way house-elves naturally treat names, but most house-elves in pure-blood households have never been given names beyond the ones used by their masters, because those masters don't understand the system. "It goes in cycles. Every so often you'll get somebody's Muggle-born wife or something who objects to servility or informality or whatever, and she hands out the proper names. Then, since they tend to like the lady of the house, they allow her to address them so. Anyone else gets told the nickname, and within a generation or two, you get odd-named elves. Then it resets again."

Orion (thestral)

**Orion** is a non-canonical thestral colt mentioned in *The Code*; during the 1996/97 Christmas break, Hagrid asks Draco to help training him for a show, and Draco eventually agrees (on the condition that it be made to look like detentions, in order to preserve his reputation). At this time, Orion is saddle-trained, although he is not yet fully comfortable with it. He has a long neck, wide wings and a good posture; he is "clearly spirited" but doesn't mind having rope looped around his neck.

## Affiliation

### School

Beauxbatons

**Julie** is a non-canonical French witch and Beauxbatons student mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; she lived in the same dormitory as Fleur Delacour. In their fifth year, she asked Henri for a date, not knowing that Fleur was interested in him as well; when Fleur saw them together, her jealousy caused her allure to slip its reins and it caught Henri, making him completely ignore Julie until she physically dragged him away. Although Fleur tried to apologize, after this incident Julie and the other girls in the dorm were afraid of her stealing their boyfriends, and felt they couldn't trust her, leading to Fleur becoming an outcast without friends.

Mirabelle Bonnet's father

**The father of Mirabelle Bonnet** is a non-canonical historical French wizard mentioned (but never named) in *The Code*; he was an associate of Lucius Malfoy and supported Voldemort in the First Wizarding War, but he seems to either never have been charged with any related crimes or have managed to avoid being sentenced to prison. However, sometime around 1985 (Draco believes himself to have been four or five years old at the time) he lost his wealth on ideologically motivated bad investments and committed suicide, leaving behind a wife and two children. It is not stated outright whether he took the Dark Mark, but in 1996/97 his daughter Mirabelle did join the Death Eaters.

Given that his daughter is about two years older than Draco, he was likely born in the 1940s or 1950s. The fact that the family house is described as a *manor* suggests that he likely was a pure-blood, but this is not actually stated as fact.

Izzy

**Izzy** is a non-canonical house-elf mentioned in The Family Clock; he works for the Trans-European Rail and by 1996 had advanced to chief steward on the line connecting London and Bern. His name is actually *Isambard*, but like most of the Trans-European's elves he goes by the nickname while in an official capacity, since that is what the customers expect. Unlike the elves at Hogwarts or most private homes, he speaks in a dignified (or even officious) tone similar to an upper-class butler, and calls the customers *madam* or *sir*.

While at work, he wears a red pillowcase with gold embroidery.

Louis Duval

**Louis Duval** is a non-canonical French wizard and Beauxbatons student mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*. After Fleur Delacour grew into her adult body, he was the only male student who was immune to her allure, and they became good friends. When she eventually wanted to take it further, he revealed that he wasn't attracted to women at all. (It is not stated whether he was only attracted to men, or fully asexual. Statistically, he can hardly have been the only gay man in the school, but the only one without a sliver of bisexuality might perhaps be possible.) Even though she was disappointed, he remained one of her best friends.

Louis is described as "very attractive". His age is not mentioned, but they seem to be more or less of age; since they met in her fourth year he can hardly be more than three years older and probably at most a year younger.
Lily Evans

**Lily J Potter née Evans** is a canonical historical muggle-born witch and the mother of Harry Potter.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Lily J. Potter** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
The middle name initial J comes from a list of names meant to be inscribed on movie-prop trophies.

Lily was born 30 January 1960.

## Non-canonical information

* In Harry Potter: Neko's Mate, her full name is said to be Lily Marie Evans. When she married James Potter she also created the Minor House of Evans.

Memory book

A **memory book** is a non-canonical magical object mentioned in *The Code*; if a piece of paper or parchment is placed between its pages, it will be copied onto the pages of another memory book that has been paired with it. No details about the pairing process are given, such as how long time it takes, if a book can be switched from one pairing to another, or if more than two books can be connected at the same time.

Bill Weasley uses one to send detailed reports about his spying on Death Eater meetings to Dumbledore (even though the existence of such a means of communication undercuts most of the reasoning behind him having the mission in the first place, not to mention the plot point of sending his findings to the Ministry through a code that Draco Malfoy can discover and break).
Occamy

The **Occamy** is a canonical magical beast native to the Far East and India; it has a serpentine body with a head plume, wings and two legs, and can reach a length of fifteen feet (4.5 meter) – although, being choranaptyxic, its size at a given moment may vary considerably. It eats mostly insects, rats and birds, but may also grab e.g. monkeys. It is very aggressive towards humans, especially when protecting its eggs; the latter, having shells of pure silver, are naturally quite sought-after.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Occamy** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The occamy is a possible but rare corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, it is said that baby occamies "puff up" to seem more dangerous than they are.
Nicolas Downing

**Nicolas Downing** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; he is in Harry's year or the one above, and a member of the Neutral Party of the Debate Class (suggesting he is likely *not* muggle-born, since those tended to join the Equality Party, or a Slytherin, since they tended to join the Superiority Party). He gives the following explanation of his choice: "I’m Neutral because I don’t want to talk about politics. I don’t like politics. I don’t understand politics. I want to learn about plants and potions in class, I want to play Exploding Snap with my friends after dinner, and I want to play Quidditch on the weekends. I think I should be allowed to do that."

Isobel MacDougal

**Isobel MacDougal** (the initial spelling *McDougal* is corrected in later chapters) is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; she is a leading figure within the Neutral party of the Debate Class arranged during the 1996/97 school year (indicating that she is in her sixth or seventh year) and she was sorted into Ravenclaw. She is often mentioned together with Anthony Goldstein and Darla Burgess, which could be taken to imply that she is in the same year as them (and thus Harry).

She has an uncle with ties to the Death Eaters, and thus is unlikely to be a muggle-born, but it is not clear if she is a pure-blood or a half-blood. Little is said about her physical appearance, except that she wears her hair long enough that she can flip it over her shoulder. She is known to be "a stickler for the rules" and by the end of the 1996/97 school year has never lost a single House point, something that she occasionally brags about; due to her family's druidic roots, she has a strong belief in pacifism.

## Behind the scenes

In early notes, the canonical pure-blood witch Morag MacDougal (also a Ravenclaw, and in Harry's year) was initially named *Katrina* and later *Isobel*; she is not mentioned in this story, and so it could be that the author for some reason decided to rename her. If not, Isobel might be her twin sister, older sister (if she is in her seventh year) or cousin (of some degree).

Last Resort Liquor

**Last Resort Liquor** is a non-canonical potion mentioned in *Breath Mints / Battle Scars*; it is a form of emergency contraception comparable to the so-called morning-after pill. It is dark violet in colour and has a "sickly sweet" taste, and it emits a violet glow when taking effect. The brewing time seems to be on the order of magnitude of an hour; among the ingredients are mentioned Jewelweed and (probably) Honeywater.

(This is not the "official" name of the potion, but a euphemism popular among young women in the nineties.)

Lavender (potion ingredient)

**Lavender** is a non-canonical potion ingredient mentioned in *The Prisoner*; although the word may refer to any of the 47 species within the genus Lavandula, it most commonly refers to *Lavandula angustifolia*, a strongly aromatic flowering shrub native to the Mediterranean but cultivated extensively in temperate climes all over the world. It grows one to two meters tall (3 1⁄2 to 6 1⁄2 ft), with evergreen, 2–6 centimetres (1–2 1⁄2 in) long and 4–6 millimetres (3⁄16–1⁄4 in) broad leaves and pinkish-purple (lavender-coloured) flowers on 2–8 cm (1–3 in) long spikes at the top of slender, leafless stems 10–30 cm (4–12 in) long. Lavender oil is produced through distillation of the flower spikes; herbal tea made from the leaves is sometimes used to lower anxiety, and the dried flowers are also used in cooking.

Lavender is used in Caelum's medicinal oil, presumably in the form of lavender oil. (Given that lavender oil is used by muggle massage therapists to induce relaxation, it is not entirely clear whether this use is indeed magical in nature.)
Lestrange family

The **Lestrange family** is a canonical pure-blood wizarding family, one of the sacred twenty-eight.

Knotgrass

**Knotgrass** is a canonical plant with magical properties, used both as a potion ingredient and in the brewing of knotgrass mead. The name may refer to various species in the genus Polygonum, or even the family Polygonaceae, but in this case perhaps the most likely is Common knotgrass (*Polygonum aviculare*), an annual herb with a semi-erect stem native to Eurasia and North America and common in Great Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia.

## Canonical information

Knotgrass can be found growing in the Forbidden Forest. It is part of the sixth-year Herbology curriculum.

Juliet Granger

**Juliet Emma Granger** is a contra-canonical muggle-born witch and sister of Hermione Granger mentioned in *Violence Inherent in the System*. She is four years younger than Hermione and quite similar in both looks and personality.

When Hermione's parents realized that she would never become the famous scholar they had always expected, and what trouble it gave them not to be able to tell their friends where she was and what she was doing, their view of magic and the magical world soured. Thus, when a Hogwarts letter arrived for Juliet on her eleventh birthday, they hid it and replied by owl, declining the offer, without even mentioning it to her. Two years later, Hermione noticed that Juliet ignored a muggle-repelling charm and was able to figure it all out, and once Princess Diana made a visit to their home – on the grounds that her son Prince William was quite taken with Hermione – their parents were sufficiently shaken that Juliet was allowed to enter Hogwarts after all, temporarily placed with the first-years but with plenty of private lessons to help her catch up. As expected (given that her sister had recently become the youngest Head of House since 1632), she was sorted into Gryffindor House.

Being a year older than her classmates and yet having more than half a year to catch up on – not to mention the fame of her sister – at first made it hard to make friends. Soon, however, she was approached by the Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club, in the form of first-year Slytherins Annabelle White and Christine Stuart, who offered to help her with her Potions practice if she would tell them what her sister had said about Harry in her letters over the years. Juliet didn't mind, and soon had lots of friends in all four houses.

Juliet is said to be thirteen already in early January 1997, meaning that her birthday must be between 1 September and then.

Malfoy Family Code

The **Malfoy Family Code** is a non-canonical code of conduct mentioned in *The Code*; throughout Draco's life his father has quoted it to him and expected him to follow it, and despite doubts as to whether it actually exists outside of such injunctions (among other things because of the many cases when Lucius himself has violated it) he has taken care to note it down and memorize it. However, during the 1996/97 school year he finally decides to break away from his father's influence and instead create his own moral code: The Dissenter's Code.

## Known rules

Draco has noted down a total of 64 rules, of which the following are mentioned:

* #1: Obey your father.
* #15: Do not act recklessly.
* #23: Sit up straight.

* #?: Do not keep company with those who are inferior.
