### Light

incandescent; colour varies depending on the caster

### Effect

Sends a plume of fire from the wand

The **soul fire spell**, also known as **ignis animae**, is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *The Code*; it is deadly to most ethereal creatures (the exception being non-beings like dementors, who can't be killed and are merely driven away) but very dangerous to use because it feeds directly from one's magical core. It is further easy to lose control over, which can lead to complete power drain, magical burnout or even death; it is also rumoured that use of this spell has turned people into squibs. Casting it reportedly feels "like someone had reached inside of his chest and ripped all of his magic out" as well as burning the chest from the inside, and the spell needs to be deliberately ended; doing so leaves the caster feeling cold and empty.

Historically, it was believed that the size of the flame showed the power of the user, and that its colour was that of their aura – "reds indicated passion, blues indicated wisdom, golds and silvers indicated royalty" – and thus it was commonly used as a way to show off one's magical prowess; indeed, during the 1300s there was a time when this was a more popular way to settle feuds than dueling. However, as the inherent dangers became better known, it fell out of use until in the late 20th century the Ministry were so sure that nobody would use it that they didn’t even think they needed to ban it.

It is described in *A History of Duels*, which can be found in the Restricted Section of the Hogwarts library.

## Etymology

*Ignis* is the nominative singular form of a Latin noun meaning 'fire' and *animae* is the genitive singular form of one meaning 'soul'; the meaning thus is "soul's fire" or "fire of the soul".

Sparky

**Sparky** is a non-canonical house-elf mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he works in the Hogwarts kitchens but is "as much, if not more, of a klutz as Tonks" and is often relegated to wash dishes.

Third Norse Reign

The **Third Norse Reign** is a non-canonical historical time period mentioned in *The Code*; very little information is given, but it likely refers to (part of) Britain being under Scandinavian rule (rather than, say, a part of Scandinavian history). It is said to have been particularly prosperous for wizardkind, enough so that it saw several philanthropists, and is known today for its use of *bynames* ('the Great', 'the Wise', 'the Fair' etc), sometimes referred to as *titles*. A common practice of the time was the use of amulets, often of wood or ivory but on special occasions of precious metals and/or inlaid with jewels, on which were engraved on one side a hammer and shield, and on the other a symbol referencing one's byname.

## Real-world information

There are several known "reigns" of Norsemen in the British Isles:

* Shetland, Orkney, the Hebrides and the Isle of Man were under strong Norse influence from at least the first half of the 9th century; the first two were formally incorporated in the kingdom of Norway in 875 and the other in 1098. The Hebrides and Man were held until the Treaty of Perth in 1266, Orkney until 1468 and Shetland until 1469.
* Vikings built fortified encampments to winter in Ireland from 840, ruled Dublin between 853 and 902 and held several minor kingdoms between 914 and 980.
* Danish Vikings, known at the time as *the Great Heathen Army*, invaded England in 865, captured York and Northumbria in 867 and held further areas of varying extent later known as the Danelaw until finally driven out in 954.
* The unified England was part of the Danish-Norwegian North Sea Empire between 1016 and 1042.

It could be argued that either the Danelaw or the North Sea Empire is "the third", depending on whether Ireland is counted or not.

Rebecca Feathersham

**Rebecca "Becky" Feathersham** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in The Family Clock; she works at Eeylops Owl Emporium. She is four years older than Harry (two years above Jessie Tickes), and was sorted into Hufflepuff.

She is depicted as more interested in gossip than politics, and easily swayed to any position she believes is commonly held (at least in the current "in crowd"); she believes what is printed in the Daily Prophet until Jessie claims that "The *real* news is in [...] *The Quibbler*," whereupon she replies "I knew the real pure-bloods didn't read that old scrap." She also displays prejudices: she is quite impressed by Jessie running her own business so young, and apparently assumes she must therefore be a pure-blood, while she is extremely dismissive of her friends the Redfern triplets – who Jessie thinks are more accomplished – because their shop is in Knockturn Alley.

While Rebecca is explicitly said to be a Hufflepuff when first introduced, some later comments seem to imply that she was rather in Ravenclaw instead: in her third year, she treated then-first-year Jessie Tickes with considerable arrogance, but if they were two years apart and in different Houses it sounds unlikely that they would have interacted very much. It is also said that Sam Redfern, another Ravenclaw, entertained "the whole dorm [with her Becky impression] *whenever the housebeast was out*", and that Jessie made Becky's watch ten minutes slow *while she slept*, implying they shared a dormitory.

Narcissa Malfoy

***Ignore the Dementor***

* Neville Longbottom (son-in-law)
* unnamed grandchildren

***Isolation***

* Hermione Granger (daughter-in-law)
* Taura Malfoy (granddaughter)
* Theo Malfoy (grandson)

***The Prisoner***

* Luna Lovegood (daughter-in-law)
* Caelum Malfoy (grandson/nephew)

**Narcissa "Cissy" Malfoy** (née **Black**) is a canonical pure-blood witch, the wife of Lucius Malfoy and the mother of Draco Malfoy. Although she did not take the Dark Mark herself, her husband was an active Death Eater during both the First and the Second Wizarding War and she at the very least supported him and by all evidence believed in pure-blood superiority; however, after Lucius was imprisoned in Azkaban and Voldemort started endangering Draco she turned against him and in the end betrayed him during the Battle of Hogwarts by lying about Harry having died.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Narcissa Malfoy** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Born in 1955, Narcissa is the youngest daughter of Cygnus and Druella Black (née Rosier), and the sister of Bellatrix and Andromeda; she is also the cousin of Regulus and Sirius Black. Like all of them except Sirius, she was sorted into Slytherin where she met her future husband and likely many other Death-Eaters-to-be.

Like the rest of her family, she cut off all contact with her sister Andromeda when the latter married the muggle-born Ted Tonks.

She survived the end of the war and lived to see her grandson Scorpius being raised in a rather different way than she would have preferred.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Code*

Main article: Narcissa Malfoy in The Code
In this story, Narcissa is described as a self-centered narcissist and drug-user. She is said to have married Lucius strictly for his money and influence: "Narcissa was beautiful and charming and intelligent, the most pursued of her cohort. Lucius was the wealthiest of her suitors and had the best lineage. She picked him knowing that he could provide a certain lifestyle. All that would be required was she would birth him an heir, preferably male, and that she would be discrete when she took lovers." When Draco was born she refused to hold him or even feed him, simply handing him to Lucius and keeping away from the annoying baby; he was five when he first interacted with her beyond brief glimpses from a distance. She put an anti-crying charm on him and either forgot or didn't care to remove it, and it wasn't discovered for seven years.

Ragnok the Sixth

**Ragnok the Sixth** is a non-canonical goblin mentioned in Harry Potter: Neko's Mate; he is the Account Manager and Vault Keeper of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, a job he has held since the year Charlus Potter (Harry's grandfather in this story) turned seven.

Ragnok's ancestor Ragnok the First was the one who originally set up the Potter family vault; he may or may not be identical with the 11th-century goblin king Ragnuk the First, the maker of the Sword of Gryffindor.

(This Ragnok could be identical to the canonical goblin named Ragnok, although the name is not unique to him. However, according to the *Harry Potter Wiki* that Ragnok had his office right next to Griphook, who handled Harry's affairs when he first visited Gringotts, so if they were one and the same it seems likely that the goblins would have reacted earlier.)

Septima Vector

**Septima Vector** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts professor of Arithmancy.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Septima Vector** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
She is considered to be strict, and is known to give out a lot of homework. She often wears red robes with a matching pointed hat. She was hired sometime before the 1991/92 school year, and stayed on her post at least up to and including the 1996/97 school year.

Her first name was never mentioned in the books, but was published as part of a list of teachers on J K Rowling's website.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Code*, she is said to be muggle-born and to have retired from Hogwarts after being injured when she and her family were attacked by death eaters during the summer of 1996; her successor is Claire Jameson. Although the two initially strongly disliked each other, she is also said to have been in a relationship with Rolanda Hooch from about the time of the 1991 troll incident.

Self-updating parchment

A **self-updating parchment** is a non-canonical magical object mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; it is a set of (at least) two pieces of parchments linked together so that what is written on one piece also shows up on the other(s). Similar parchments, enchanted with "a variant of the Protean Charm", also appear in *The Power of Seven*; here, it is shown to be possible to connect a new parchment to an already existing one at a distance.

Wilfred Walkins

**Wilfred Walkins** is a non-canonical and likely historical wizard and Quidditch Seeker mentioned in *The Code*; he was considered "a veteran" in the 1920s but still had a spot on his national team (which team is not mentioned, however). Half his bones (and his broom) were shattered when he crashed into the ground having fallen for the Wronski feint, and although he survived he never flew again.

If this happened at the 1926 World Cup (see below) and he was in his thirties, he would have been born in the late 1880s or early 1990s, which in turn suggests that there is a good chance that he died sometime during the 20th century.

## Contra-canonical information

Wilfred's crash is said to have happened during the 1925 Quidditch World Cup – but the World Cup was canonically played in 1922 and 1926. This is also said to have been the incident that gave the feint its name, after the initiator Adrien Wronski – but canonically, it was named after Josef Wronski.
Thestral

A **thestral** is a canonical magical creature similar to a large fleshless horse with bat-like leathery wings; it can only be seen by people who have witnessed death and accepted its reality. Thestrals are native to Britain and Ireland, with a rare herd living in the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts, but have occasionally also been found in France and the Iberian Peninsula; they are commonly considered ill omens and are in fact dangerous to handle without proper training (Ministry of Magic Classification XXXX). The Hogwarts herd, however, is tame enough to be used in Care of Magical Creatures lessons and to pull the carriages transporting second-to-seventh-year students from the Hogwarts Express to the castle, and at least a few members have in fact been ridden by unsupervised students without accident.

## Canonical information

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

*Articles about individual thestrals can be found in Category:Thestral.*
* In *The Code*, it is said that while the Hogwarts herd has the distinction of being the only *tame* thestrals, many pure-blood families hold *domesticated* ones bred for pedigree and trained to compete in races and exhibitions; the Malfoy family has at least two, Ammon and Eagan, and by 1996 Draco has won several medals. Fresh blood, straight from a vein, is said to have a sedative effect on thestrals, and their own blood is said to be so dark red that it seems to be black, and to have the consistency of tree sap.

Sound-blocking charm

A non-canonical **charm to block sound** from passing through e.g. doors, walls or bed-curtains occurs in many stories, usually referred to as the (or *a*) Silencing Charm; however, since in canon that charm is cast on a person to make them mute or inaudible, while these instead are cast on objects to make them impenetrable to sound, they will be treated here as examples of a separate spell.

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, it is said that high elves hear things said behind a sound-blocking charm; Neville jokingly claims that this is due to their large ears, but it seems more likely to be part of their innate magic.
Nova Zabini

**Nova Brigid Zabini** is a contra-canonical young witch mentioned in *Isolation*; she is the daughter of Luna Lovegood and Blaise Zabini, and a friend of Taura Malfoy. At the start of the 2009/10 school year, she was still four but the six months older Taura had turned five; thus, she must have been born sometime between September 2004 and February 2005. She has "a thick mass of black curl[y]" hair and silver-gray eyes, but is otherwise "the mirror image of her father".
Prefect

**Prefect** is a canonical title given to Hogwarts students; they are given authority over their fellow students and the right to take away House points and give detention. Each year, one male and one female prefect is appointed among the fifth-years of each house, and they generally continue to serve as such during their sixth and seventh years for a total of twenty-four prefects at any time. Prefects patrol the hallways after curfew, lead the first-years to their dormitories on their first day and generally watch over the younger students; they also supervise the decoration of the castle for Christmas (and probably other events as well). A sumptuous bathroom on the fifth floor is reserved for prefects, Quidditch captains and the Head Boy and Girl.

Prefects, both canonical and non-canonical, can be found in Category:Prefect.

Minister for Magic in Bulgaria

Solstice (restaurant)

**Solstice** is a non-canonical upscale restaurant mentioned in *The Code*; it is located in "the financial district of Hogsmeade" and is generally too expensive and snobby for the students of Hogwarts, but on Valentine's Day 1997, Draco brings Pansy Parkinson there for a late lunch and dessert. He suspects the fact that he is a Malfoy is the only reason that they accepted his reservation.
Veela temples in Marseille

The **veela temples in Marseille** is a set of non-canonical temples mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; they are situated in Marseille, France, and used by the veela community there to worship the goddesses Aphrodite, Athena and Hera. According to their own oral history, the veela were created by Aphrodite in a contest with Hera about who could create the most beautiful avian being; Hera created the peacock while Aphrodite presented a flock of large doves which turned into beautiful women who mesmerized the judges. Hera, angry at her loss, cursed them to take the shape of burning harpies, but this also gave them magic and after training under the wise tutelage of Athena they eventually were able to control the curse and retake their original forms. They settled in Cyprus, the home of Aphrodite, and from there spread to many parts of the Greek-speaking Mediterranean world, including what is today Bulgaria and Marseille, where they still keep the old traditions alive.

The number of such temples is not given, beyond that there is more than one; presumably there is at least one per goddess. While they are not described, it may be that the form the Room of Requirement takes when Fleur cooks a French meal for Harry builds upon the temple to Aphrodite: entirely made out of white marble; the walls filled with paintings, mostly of Greek gods; above the candle-filled chandelier the ceiling holds a mural of the Birth of Venus.

Wiltshire (Slytherin student)

**Wiltshire**, given name not known, is a non-canonical Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; he is one year older than Harry, was sorted into Slytherin and is part of the circle around Cassius Warrington (who in this story is still a student during the 1996/97 school year). During the summer of 1996 he dated Pansy Parkinson, although she later downplays her interest by saying that he "has his uses".

Metamorphmagus

A **metamorphmagus** is a person capable of changing their physical appearance through sheer will alone, without the need of Polyjuice potion or a spell like most of the wizarding population. The ability is rare, and may be hereditary.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Metamorphmagus** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*

## Non-canonical information

* In The Family Clock, it is said that the natural hair colour of a metamorphmagus tends to change over time into something that suits them, especially if they have a favourite that they often use. This can happen even if they use muggle hair dye rather than their own power.

* In Harry Potter: Neko's Mate, metamorphmagi are considered a third sex (or perhaps rather both at once) since they are able to switch between male and female bodies at will, and sometimes even do so involuntarily. If they switch back and forth often, they may develop Split-Personality Disorder with a male and a female personality; in such cases a compromise needs to be worked out between them so that one personality does not take over completely. However, they cannot change sex while they are having their periods, so if their preferred form is male they need to be careful not to stay too long in female form.

## Known metamorphmagi

* Nymphadora Tonks
* Teddy Lupin

### Non-canonical

* Ken, Mel and Sam Redfern

Samuel McArran

**Samuel McArran** is a non-canonical Irish muggle mentioned in The Family Clock; he runs McArran's Jewelry and Timepieces in Belfast and is the father of Siobhan Tickes. He and his wife (who is not named) went through a rather nasty divorce sometime in the late 1950s (during Siobhan's teenage years (1957-1964), but before her seventeenth birthday in October 1961) and when she turned seventeen she cut her ties with them entirely. She did contact him again in 1979, shortly before she was killed, at which time she told him she was pregnant but forgot to mention the two children she already had, so when he received the standard next-of-kin notification from the Ministry he never sought contact (and apparently she hadn't told her husband about it, so neither did he). However, after acquiring an internet connection in 1996 he somehow came across information on her family, and contacted them.

Since Siobhan spoke Irish, there's a fair chance he does as well. Since she was born in 1944, he was probably born in the 1910s or the first half of the 1920s.

1938 Quidditch World Cup

The **1938 Quidditch World Cup** is a canonical event, in the sense that the World Cup is canonically arranged every four years and 1938 is one of the years it was held; beyond that, however, nothing is known about it.

## Canonical information

Virilem protego

**Virilem protego** is a contraceptive charm cast on the male, mentioned in *The Power of Seven*. Although just as effective as the standard charms cast on the female, it is said to have fallen out of fashion in Europe, but Fleur Delacour prefers it due to being part Veela, since contraception charms tend to be unreliable when cast on non-humans. It is cast with the tip of the wand touching the tip of the target's penis.

## Etymology

*virilem*, Latin for (adjective) "male" (acc)

*protego*, Latin for "I protect" or "I cover"
Potio revelio

**Potio revelio** is a variant of the canon Revelio charm mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; it is used to detect potions in food and drink, and Harry and his girlfriends learn it from Madam Pomfrey after Romilda Vane slips him a love potion.

Rosemary (potion ingredient)

**Rosemary** is a non-canonical potion ingredient mentioned in *The Prisoner*; known to muggle scientists as *Salvia rosmarinus*, it is a shrub with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves and white, pink, purple, or blue flowers, native to the Mediterranean region but reasonably hardy in cool climates as well. It grows either upright or trailing on the ground; if upright, it can reach 1.5 m (5 ft) or occasionally even more. It doesn't need much water, and can survive even a severe lack thereof for quite long time; conversely, it has problems with waterlogged soil. In good conditions a rosemary bush can reach an age of thirty years. Historically, it was thought to have medicinal properties, and it was used by ancient Egyptians in their burial rituals, but today the primary use is as decoration, as a fragrance (in perfume, incense, shampoo etc) and as a spice (the fresh or dried leaves). There is also an association with memory and remembrance, e.g. in the Spanish fairy tale *The Sprig of Rosemary*, where the heroine touches the hero with the title rosemary in order to restore his magically lost memory.

Lavender is used in Caelum's medicinal oil, likely in the form of *lavender oil*.
Zimbeels

A **Zimbeel** is a non-canonical lunacy (i.e. a magical creature that perhaps only Luna Lovegood believes in) mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; they are said to follow people with large magical cores, so that the size of the swarm following a person can give an idea of their magical strength. (Harry's swarm is supposedly massive, while Ginny's is smaller than Hermione's but larger than Luna's.) According to Luna, "everyone’s magic grows over time, but [slowly enough that she] only see[s] the differences in Zimbeels when people come back from summer break".

It is not clear if the zimbeel is in any way connected to normal eels, or if the similarity in name is just a coincidence.

Shocking Hex

### Effect

Sends electricity through the body of the victim, making muscles seize and spasm

The **Shocking Hex** is a non-canonical Hex mentioned in *The Code*; it is considered a "precursor to the Cruciatus", being less painful but much easier to cast. A small electrical current is sent through the victim's body, making muscles first seize and then spasm uncontrollably; the body will fall to the ground unless held up by outside means or lying down, and may continue jerking for several seconds.
Singh family

The **Singh family** is a canonical wizarding family – or, more likely, several different such families – of South Asian or Southeast Asian descent. The name, originally meaning 'lion' in Sanskrit, is obligatory among male Sikhs, but is or has been common also in many other groups, including royalty and brahmins.

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

**Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes** is a canonical joke item shop situated at 93 Diagon Alley, founded by Fred and George Weasley, originally as a mail-order business, in 1995 and established at the current premises in April 1996. Joke items sold in this shop can be found in Category:Weasley Wheezes.

Self-writing quill

A **self-writing quill** is a canonical enchanted object, a type of magical quill that writes on its own. They were sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and Voges Quills of Distinction, and probably other places as well.

This is probably a generic term; the Quick-Quotes Quill used by Rita Skeeter may be a sub-type and/or a brand name.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Girl Who Loved*, Constance Brown used a **Dicto-Quill** when writing articles for the Daily Prophet; it is not clear if it differs from the general self-writing quill beyond possibly being a brand name.

* A similar object mentioned in *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate* is called, alternately, **Dictation Quill** and **Dicta Quill**; it was used by Amelia Bones when interrogating Peter Pettigrew. However, while Constance's quill only wrote down her parts of a conversation, Amelia's presumably wrote down everything said in the room.

* In *The Family Clock* is told of how Jessie Tickes once bought a **Thinknotes Quill** when she had hurt her hand and needed to turn in an essay; as the name implies, it wrote down what she *thought*, and the result was a seven-foot essay that "featured intricate detail on almost everything but what it was supposed to be about".

Zabini family

The **Zabini family** is a canonical wizarding family in either Britain or Ireland. The name is of Italian or Portuguese origin, but how far back that lies is unknown.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Zabini family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Blaise's mother is said to have been married seven times, but never for very long since each husband died. It is not known which of these husbands was his father, nor if *Zabini* was the surname of his father, that of some other husband – perhaps the first or the latest – or even his mother's maiden name.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, it is said that the Zabini is a pure-blood family older than the Notts, but that they have managed to stay neutral and are not directly affiliated with either the Death Eaters or the Order.

* In *Isolation*, Blaise mentions that "the only step-dad who didn't treat [him] like shit" was a half-blood with a muggle mother, and that he quite liked the latter when he met her during the 1995/96 school year.

## Family members

### Canonical

* Blaise Zabini
* Blaise Zabini's mother

### Contra-canonical

* Luna Lovegood, married to Blaise in *Isolation*
* Nova Zabini, daughter of Blaise and Luna

Xander Lofthouse

**Xander Lofthouse** is a canonical wizard and Hogwarts student sorted into Slytherin. His exact age is unknown, but he was present during the 1993 and the 1996/97 school year.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Xander Lofthouse** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Xander has blond hair and light skin.

## Non-canonical information

* 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"; one of them is named Lofthouse.

Taura Malfoy

**Taura Andromeda Malfoy** is a contra-canonical young witch mentioned in *Isolation*; she is the daughter of Hermione and Draco and the older sister of Theo Malfoy. She has bushy blonde hair and dark grey eyes, and she learned her first spell when she was five. She is named after her father's cousin Nymphadora Gwendoline Taura Hyacinth Tonks and aunt Andromeda Tonks.

At the start of the 2009/10 school year, Taura was five but Nova Zabini, who is six months younger, was still four. Thus, she must have been born sometime between March and August 2004.

The Lady's Lord

***The Lady's Lord*** is a non-canonical romance novel mentioned in *The Power of Seven*, featuring *Lady Anabelle* who "after a titillating misunderstanding [...] realizes that she enjoys watching her husband seduce women". It seems to be a favourite of Demelza Robins, whose copy is quite well-worn.
Vestimenta pertransibo

**Vestimenta pertransibo** is a non-canonical charm used by Hermione in *The Power of Seven*; it instantly moves the target's clothes into a pile beneath them. According to Ginny, Hermione is "probably the only person in school who knows it".

## Etymology

*vestimenta*, Latin for "clothes"

*pertransibo* seeems like it is meant to be the 1sg future form of *pertranseo*, Latin for "move through", but since that verb belongs to the IV conjugation it should probably rather be *pertransiam*.
Winky

**Winky** is a canonical house-elf serving the Crouch family until 1994, when in the aftermath of the Death Eater attack on the Quidditch World Cup she was freed by Bartemius Crouch Sr, and later working in the Hogwarts kitchens. After being freed she developed an addiction to butterbear which meant that she didn't do much work, but she was still able to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts together with the other Hogwarts house-elves. She seems to have known Dobby since the time he was working for the Malfoys, and while there is no explicit mention of it in canon, they are often described in fanfiction as a couple.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Winky** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Unlike Dobby, Winky held to the traditional views on the role of house-elves in wizarding society and considered being freed or paid for her work to be disgraceful; after being fired, she fell into depression and developed alcoholism from drinking butterbear. Even after Dobby found a job for her at Hogwarts, she never stopped feeling loyal to Barty Crouch Sr and didn't do much actual work; when she learned that her former master had been killed by his son she was devastated. Over the next few years, however, she gradually improved under the care of Madam Pomfrey and Dobby, and by 1998 she was able to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Winky still worked in the Hogwarts kitchens in the summer of 2011.

## Non-canonical information

In fanfiction, Winky is often described as fully functional rather than depressed and/or an alcoholic.

### *Ignore the Dementor*

When Dolores Umbridge tries to arrest Dumbledore in the Great Hall during the Spring-term start-of-term feast, he escapes by calling on Winky and having her teleport him out. About a week later, Harry accidentally devours Umbridge's soul and calls Dobby and Winky to help him; they agree to hide her still-living body in the unused werewolf rooms until it dies of natural causes and once that has happened (sometime before 10 February) Winky buries the body in the Sahara desert. She then proposes to Dobby, thinking that "since we's did such a good job with a dementor as our child, that Dobby and I's could try with a house elf child"; their wedding is held during the summer, outside the Hogwarts clock tower, with all the Hogwarts house-elves in attendance as well as Dumbledore, Sprout, Flitwick, Mr. Filch, Harry and Luna.

Longbottom family

The **Longbottom family** is a canonical British pure-blood wizarding family, counted among the Sacred twenty-eight.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Longbottom family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Note that a family tree was published on *Pottermore* (it seems not to be available on the *Wizarding World*) that showed "great-uncle Algie" to be a Longbottom, the brother of Neville's unnamed grandfather rather than of his grandmother Augusta (as he is often portrayed in fanfiction).

## Non-canonical information

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, Sirius Black says that the Potter and **Longbottom** families have been "stout allies since the founding of Hogwarts". Longbottom is also said to be one of the oldest magical families in Britain, alongside Bones, Greengrass, Abbott, Black and Potter.

* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, House Longbottom has a seat on the Wizengamot where it is part of the Great Alliance as well as the Light Alliance.

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, the Longbottoms are high elves masquerading as humans; they also have an inherited seat on the Wizengamot that in 1995 is held by Augusta, until Neville can take it in 1998.

## Family members

### Canonical

* Algie Longbottom, great-uncle of Neville and brother-in-law of Augusta
* Alice Longbottom, mother of Neville
* Augusta Longbottom, mother of Frank
* Augusta's unnamed late husband, father of Frank and brother of Algie
* Enid Longbottom, married to Algie
* Frank Longbottom, father of Neville
* Hannah Longbottom, née Abbott, married to Neville
* Neville Longbottom

### Non-canonical

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, Algernon Longbottom is said to be Augusta's brother, suggesting that her husband took her name when they married; while this scenario would technically fit the canonical tree it seems unlikely to be the intended interpretation.

* Irving Cram (prefect), a prefect of unknown House affiliation during the 1993/94 school year

Quality Quidditch Supplies

**Quality Quidditch Supplies** is a canonical shop in Diagon Alley North Side, situated between Krakens on the left and Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and The Harpy's Bazaar to the right (when facing the shop).

## Canonical information

Main article: **Quality Quidditch Supplies** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
## Non-canonical information

* In *The Family Clock*, it is said that QQS holds "Fantasy League" nights in a Knocturn Alley establishment (the only place that lets them hold them anymore). Exactly what Fantasy League qudditch involves is not explained, except that one player offered quite good money (eight galleons, quickly raised to ten) for the exact shoe and glove sizes of Ian Tickes.

* In *The Power of Seven*, Katie Bell works as a teller at QQS after graduation (and likely did so also during previous summers).

Prewett family

The **Prewett family** is a canonical pure-blood British wizarding family.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Prewett family** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*

Red hair and large noses are said to be family traits.

While some members of the family would likely have been labelled "blood traitors", Lucretia Black was not disowned for marrying Ignatius Prewett, implying that in general the Prewetts were more accepted in elite pure-blood circles than a family like the Weasleys.

## Family members

### Canonical

* Fabian Prewett, brother of Molly
* Gideon Prewett, brother of Molly
* Ignatius Prewett, uncle of Molly
* Lucretia Black, married to Ignatius
* Molly Weasley, née Prewett
Scent-killing potion

A non-canonical **potion that masks the drinker's smell** is mentioned in *The Code*; it is one of several potions used by Bill Weasley to complement his invisibility cloak while spying on Death Eater meetings. Draco, deducing it is needed to avoid detection by Nagini, refers to it as a "scent-killing potion". While not stated outright, it is presumably brewed by Severus Snape.

Tracking rune

A **tracking rune** is a non-canonical magical symbol mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; inscribing or painting it on an object makes that object easy to find (although the exact mechanism for doing so is not described). On Christmas 1994, Harry gives Luna "a few" tracking runes to help her keep track of the things her housemates keep stealing and hiding from her.
Slytherin students

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

* Category:Slytherin contain characters known to have been sorted into Slytherin house, regardless of their age or canonicity.
* The School year categories have subcategories listing canonical and non-canonical Slytherin 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.

Simon Dedworth (prefect)

**Simon Dedworth** is a canonical wizard and Howgwarts student, who was a prefect during the 1993/94 school year. (For the Slytherin student of the same name present during the 1996/97 school year, see Simon Dedworth (Slytherin).)

## Canonical information

Main article: **Simon Dedworth (I)** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Simon's house membership has not been recorded. As prefects are in their fifth to seventh year, he must have been born between 1 September, 1975 and 31 August, 1978. However, since there are far too many people said to be prefects during the 1993/94 school year (at least 24 male prefects have been identified as such, rather than the expected 12), it is possible that this claim is incorrect – in which case he is most likely identical to the Slytherin student of the same name present in 1996/97.
Warrington family

The **Warrington family** is a canonical wizarding family.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Warrington family** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
While Ivy and Winifred have a muggle father, their name clearly comes from their mother's side. How (or if) they are related to Cassius is not known, but based on their respective birth years they could be his nieces.

## Family members

Tom Riddle's Special Award for Services to the School trophy

**Tom Riddle's Special Award for Services to the School trophy** is a canonical trophy awarded to Tom Marvolo Riddle in June 1943 for his help in identifying the alleged culprit behind the opening of the Chamber of Secrets and the murder of Myrtle Warren; it was kept on display in the Hogwarts Trophy Room.

## Canonical information

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, the trophy is one of Voldemort's horcruxes, and in 1996/97 he gives Bryant Stevick orders to find and retrieve it. Stevick, appointed D.A.D.A. professor by the Ministry, eventually loosens a horde of dark spirits on the school and, during the resulting chaos, disarms the alarm wards on the display case. However, the horcrux had already been identified as such and replaced with a copy, and once Stevick has been arrested it is destroyed; as it breaks apart, it turns out to have rusted from the inside out.
