Dragon claw (potion ingredient)

Powdered **dragon claw** is a canonical potion ingredient, and is also eaten without further preparation in order to boost cunning.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Dragon claw** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Powdered dragon claw is used in the dubious Baruffio's Brain Elixir as well as in Tolipan Blemish Blitzer. The claws of the Chinese Fireball, specifically, are used in Dai Ryusaki's mind-enhancing potion, although the exact preparation is not stated.

In a source of low, but non-zero, canonicity it is shown to be black in colour; whether this is true regardless of dragon species is not clear.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Power of Seven*, it is said that powdered dragon claw is an ingredient in Invigoration Draught; however, it is not listed on either of the two extant (low-)canonical ingredient lists. (It may be that there are several varieties of the draught, with different recipes but similar effects.)
Charlus Potter

**Charlus Potter** is a canonical historical pure-blood wizard; he married Dorea Black and had a son. Since for a long time the parents of James Potter were not known, the two appear in many fanfics in that role. However, the canonical parents are Fleamont and Euphemia Potter; the correct place of Charlus in the Potte family tree is not known.

## Canonical Information

Main article: **Charlus Potter** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Since Dorea was born in 1920, Charlus was presumably born in either the 1910s or the 1920s. Given that Harry had no living family beside Petunia Dursley, he was probably dead before 31 October 1981; on the other hand, he was not shown on the Potter family tree on Pottermore, so he may have been too remote a relative to be considered "family".

Since Fleamont Potter was selling his hair potion in 1926, he must be at least ten years older than Dorea, meaning Charlus was probably in the same or the next generation; he could theoretically be a younger brother of Fleamont, but perhaps more likely a nephew or cousin of some degree.

It is worth noting that Dorea was not cut from the Black family tree for marrying him, implying that Charlus was a pure-blood, and was not considered a blood traitor even though Henry Potter (the father of Fleamont) had taken a rather aggressive stance on helping muggles during the First World War.

## Non-canonical information

Stories where Charlus and Dorea are the parents of James can be found in Category:Grandson of Charlus.

### *A Godfather's Promise*

Main article: Charlus Potter in A Godfather's Promise
In this story, the Potter family is said to have a tradition of serving in the muggle military, and Charlus did so as an RAF fighter pilot during the Battle of Britain. His plane, a Supermarine Spitfire MK 1 charmed and covered in runes, is kept as an heirloom at the Potter Manor. He is said to be the son of Richard Potter and his wife Victoire Vigouroux, who met during the First World War. Given that the Potters have a lot closer ties to muggles than in canon, and that here Dorea *was* disowned for marrying him, it could be that Charlus was a half-blood rather than a pure-blood. He died "defiant [...] at the hands of Voldemort", sometime before the death of James and Lily.

Antibiotic potion

A non-canonical **antibiotic potion** is mentioned in *The Prisoner*; however, it is not clear whether this is an actual magical potion or just a turn of phrase employed by the healer to make the use of muggle drugs more palatable by pure-blood supremacists. It may affect the stomach, at least in young children, but other than that no details are given.

Evanna Quill

**Evanna Quill** is a non-canonical muggle woman mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; she lives with the Granger family, taking care of their house (and, previously, Hermione) in exchange for room and board while trying to break through as an author and/or artist. Hermione considers her a big sister of sorts, but Evanna is also secretly in a BDSM relationship with her parents Emily and George – which Hermione discovers in the summer of 1995. When she learns that Hermione is in the know, Evanna goes back to doing the housework dressed only in leather cuffs and a metal collar – the way she normally does it while Hermione is at Hogwarts – and after finding the younger girl experimenting with self-bondage she gives her a taste of the real thing; however, she is at heart a sub herself and when Hermione asks for more she tells her she needs to find a dom of her own.

## Biography

Evanna, then a college student of finance, first moved in with the Grangers sometime around 1983 to take care of their three-year-old daughter and the house in exchange for room and board. After graduation – presumably in 1986 or 1987 – she got a high-paying job at a multi-national company and moved out, despite Hermione's pleas that she stay with her, but a year later she suddenly quit her job and returned to the Grangers, focusing on her writing and arts instead of searching for a new job. After Hermione discovers her secret, she explains that she felt just as much a slave in the corporate world, toiling thanklessly for stone-faced higher-ups who didn't care about her, but she knows that her master and mistress always have her well-being in mind. It is not clear at which point the Grangers involved her in their relationship, nor at what time they got interested in BDSM themselves, but the basement seems to have been off limits to Hermione from the start.

She has set up a little garden in the backyard, although whether she grows flowers, spices or food is not clear.

## Behind the scenes

Having her still living with the Grangers in 1997 would obviously be contra-canonical, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence against her presence in 1995.

Claribelle White

**Claribelle White** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in *Violence Inherent in the System*; she is a year older than Harry, was sorted into Slytherin House and is the older sister of Annabelle White. When Harry meets them on Platform 9¾ she claims that it is "nice to finally meet Potter and some of his ladies socially", and her parents are described as "starstruck". She lets him borrow her copy of Witch Weekly, so he can read Luna's article about her stay with him and Usagi in Japan.

The presence of her parents on Platform 9¾ suggests that she is not muggle-born.

Goblin Rebellion of 1612

The **Goblin Rebellion of 1612** is a canonical historical event centered around Hogsmeade.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Goblin Rebellion of 1612** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
While it is only one of a series of "bloody and vicious" rebellions against Magical Britain's discrimination and prejudice towards goblins, the main cause of this particular one was the (still ongoing) lack of goblin representation in the Wizengamot.

## Non-canonical information

* According to *The Power of Seven*, although it has never been used (due to unwillingness on the part of the Wizengamot to give the Ministry such power, as well as fear of causing another goblin rebellion), article 3, section 4 of the treaty ending the rebellion allows the Ministry to confiscate property held in Gringotts from wizards convicted of high crimes.
Harrowby Jones

**Harrowby Jones** is a non-canonical American wizard and magical watchmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; he retired in 1996, selling his shop in Manhattan to James Tickes X. He seems to have been fond of gambling, and had a debt of about 20 000 galleons.

Jones is a very common name, and it is not known if he is related to any of the British witches or wizards named so.

Hermione's lust potion

### Side-effects

In large doses, or if drunk, may cause fingers to go limp and knees to buckle, colour sensory input and cause loss of coherent thought, speech and/or minor motor control

## Brewing information

### Known ingredients

As in Invigoration Draught, but with semen instead of dragon claw

### Known brewers

Hermione Granger

**Hermione's lust potion** is a contra-canonical potion mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; it is a strong stimulant whose very fumes sharply raises the sex drive and lowers inhibitions. After Hermione realized the magical power inherent in semen, she tried to develop an improved Invigoration Draught, that would not leave the drinker even more tired after it wore off than they were before, by using it in place of the traditional powdered dragon claw; however, the effect was far more powerful, and far-reaching, than she had expected.

Already before completion, the fumes from the brewing give a "buzz" similar to that from the traditional potion and the draught gives an instant rush of pleasant energy; however, in a large dose (or perhaps rather, once the brewing is fully complete?) it ignites a powerful surge of almost painful arousal, leaving the body hot and flushed with tingles of pleasure along the spine and across the skin. Depending on the dose, fingers may go limp and knees buckle, and any sensory input (sight, sound, scent and touch) takes on erotic overtones. The fumes of the finished potion by themselves induce extreme arousal, in large doses to the point of losing coherent thought of any other subject, or in extreme cases even speech and minor motor control, and also reduce (or fully remove) inhibitions. The fumes are odourless enough not to be noticed, and can be used in interrogation.

(It should be noted that in this story, Harry's semen is abnormally high in magical power due to the soul bonds he has made, and it may be that the effect of the potion will be lower if semen from somebody else is used.)

## Affiliation

### House

Ravenclaw

**David** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; he is in the year above Harry and was sorted into Ravenclaw. In November 1994 he was hospitalized after wearing one of Draco Malfoy's Potter Stinks badges, which Harry had discovered before they were distributed and modified to explode; after he returned to classes, he was seen hitting on Susan Bones in a manner bordering on harassment until Harry broke in and intimidated him into leaving.

He is blond and shorter than Harry, but the latter is in this story "almost as tall as Sirius", who is 5'9.5" (176.5 cm) so anything up to 5'9" is possible. Harry finds his voice "slimy".

Dementor language translation spell

A contra-canonical **spell to understand the dementor language** is mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; in this story the language in question is described as "haunting screeches [...] like a combination of a bird of prey's screech and a death rattle", whose meaning can only be understood by dementors and house-elves. The spell was developed by Luna Lovegood, a fairy dating a dementor, sometime after the summer of 1996 and before the birth of their children (which likely occurred in the late 2000s); unfortunately no details are known, and in particular not if it is a one-time effect or needs to be regularly reapplied.

The spell would presumably be classified as a charm (as opposed to a transfiguration) and as mind magic, but neither is specified in the source material.

Cram family

The **Cram family** is a canonical wizarding family, although the exact relationship between the canonical family members is not known. (Theoretically, there could be two unrelated families, but given that the name isn't exactly common, that seems unlikely.)

Dieter Warrington

**Dieter Warrington** is a non-canonical wizard and Death Eater mentioned in *The Code*; although it is not stated outright, he is likely intended to be the father of Cassius Warrington. In September 1996, Dieter attends a Death Eater meeting in the Boucher family's house that Bill Weasley is spying on, and is one of several faces that are immediately recognized.

If he is the father of Cassius, who seems to have been born in 1977, he was likely born in the 1940s or 1950s himself. Being a Death Eater, he is likely to be a pure-blood but could also be a half-blood. Based on their ages, he *could* be the maternal grandfather of Ivy and Winifred Warrington, married to their grandmother Mrs Warrington, but since that would imply Dieter's daughter was married to a muggle (and carrying Ivy and Winifred) at the time of this story, it seems more likely that they are more distantly related (or possibly not at all).
Greengrass villa in Italy

A non-canonical **villa in Italy owned by the Greengrass family** is mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; after Harry reveals the return of Voldemort, Daphne suggests that her mother and sisters move there or to the summer home in Spain for a few years so as to stay out of harm's way, but her mother rejects the idea: "Your father and I weathered the storm the first time, and we will weather it again".

Henri (The Power of Seven)

**Henri** is a non-canonical French wizard and Beauxbatons student mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; he was likely in the same year as Fleur Delacour. In her fifth year she tried to nudge him into asking her out when her dorm-mate Julie asked him on a date. Even though Fleur didn't intend to, a flare of jealousy made her control over her allure slip and it caught him, making him ignore Julie completely until she physically dragged him away.
Delacour family's home

The **Delacour family's home** is a demi-canonical place (meaning that it is not actually mentioned in canon, but it would be unreasonable to expect it does not exist) in France; various authors describe it differently.

## *A Godfather's Promise*

Here, it is referred to as Château Delacour, implying that it might be a castle, and has a private beach.

## *The Power of Seven*

Here, they live in a "rather impressive [...] estate", a two-story house with "far more rooms than was necessary" and surrounded by sizable grounds. One of several guest rooms shares a wall with Gabrielle's bedroom, with a shared bathroom across the hall.

Theodore's grandfather is said to have been headmaster of the Durmstrang Institute, but it is not stated whether this was his paternal or maternal grandfather.
Gertie Macnair

**Gertie Macnair** (possibly short for **Gertrude**) is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Family Clock*; she debated decency legislation and product bans with James Tickes X in the summer of (probably) 1961, before Siobhan McArran punctured the debate by poking holes in the arguments of both sides. Her age at the time is not mentioned, but since she seems to have not yet graduated she was likely born during the 1943/44 scholastic year at the earliest, and probably not much more than two or three years later. She was sorted into Slytherin.

How Gertie is related to Walden Macnair is not known, but she has a cousin Marius who seems to be more or less of age with her.

A **Cragglemelon** is a non-canonical lunacy (i.e. a thing that Luna Lovegood, but hardly anybody else, believes exists) mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; it is presumably a plant and/or a fruit, but little detail is given beyond that it is thick (and likely oblong rather than spherical).

## Non-canonical information

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, Greengrass is one of the oldest magical families in Britain, alongside Bones, Longbottom, Abbott, Black and Potter; they claim descent from Morgana le Fay. However, they fell on hard times and by the 1970s had little but their name before young Cygnus Greengrass managed to turn the chaos of the First Wizarding War into a fortune and recovered the family manor from the Notts. However, with neither sons nor brothers he is dependent on his daughters to produce a male heir to carry on the name.
* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, the Greengrass family is part of the Great Alliance started by Charlus Potter.

## Family members

### Canonical

Gareth Greengrass and his family appear in *Harry Potter: Wizards Unite*. How he is related to Daphne and Astoria is not mentioned, although he seems old enough that he could be their uncle.

### Non-canonical

Since the parents of Daphne and Astoria are never mentioned in canon, they have received many names in fanfiction. Here are some:

Beyond the parents, the following non-canonical family members have been noted:

* Charlotte and Elizabeth Greengrass, twin daughters of Cygnus and Eleanor
* Helena Greengrass, deceased sister of Castor
* Luthien Greengrass, daughter of Damien and Melian; sister to Daphne and Astoria

Great Alliance

The **Great Alliance** is a non-canonical political alliance between Houses in the Wizengamot, mentioned in Harry Potter: Neko's Mate. It was founded by Charlus Potter, who in this story was Harry's grandfather, and beside House Potter consisted of the Houses of Greengrass, Longbottom, Bones, Abbott, Macmillan, Boot, Patil and Lovegood; all of these except Patil and Lovegood, being minor Houses, had seats on the Wizengamot. They all also belonged to the Light Alliance, except for Greengrass which was Neutral.

Had James Potter not died when he did, he would likely have added the minor House of Tonks and the House of Delacour to the alliance.

Fiona Gardner Tickes

**Fiona Gardner Tickes**, née Worthing, is a non-canonical historical muggle woman mentioned in The Family Clock; she married the Swiss clockmaker Myron Tickes I and was the mother of 18-century muggle-born wizard John Tickes, as well as his brother James and their older half-brother Ian.

Fiona was probably born in the first decade of the 18th century, or at most very shortly thereafter, but beyond her maiden name we know nothing of her life before 1731, when her first son Ian was born. By then she was married to an (otherwise never mentioned) man named Gardner; however, already four years later she was a widow, and had managed to find work as a secretary at the Immigration Office in London (unusual for a woman at that time). There she met the Swiss clockmaker Myron Tickes, who offered her ten shillings a week to teach him English. Within two years they had married, and eventually had two sons: James (in 1740) and John (in 1745). Little else is said about her, except that she was still alive when John graduated from Hogwarts in the Summer of 1763.
Ghosts, Mermaids, Clocks and Loonies

***Ghosts, Mermaids, Clocks and Loonies*** is a one-shot non-crossover fanfic written by ina-anna-etta; it is a sidestory to Jan. McNeville's *The Family Clock* expanding on an offhand narrator's remark in Chapter 3, and is available on Fanfiction.net. It contains slightly over 2 000 words, is rated Kids and was published in 2007; it is set during the 1995/96 school year.

## Plot summary

When Jessie Tickes, for the first time in over two years, decides to use the Prefects' bathroom, Moaning Myrtle comes out of the pipes, expressing her disappointment that it is not the Slytherin Quidditch team who are present. Ever since Jessie as a first-year asked her if she had been beheaded like Nearly-Headless Nick, the ghost has disliked her, and now decides to play a nasty prank on her. She tells Jessie that there is an old clockwork in the door, which used to open the lock after thirty minutes so that people didn't stay too long in the bath, and urges her to check it out; when Jessie doesn't, she swoops away in such a way that a wave of water drenches not just Jessie's clothes but all the towels as well. After looking through the towels without finding more than a single hand towel that is reasonably dry, Jessie notes that the door to the bath room is ajar and moves to close it; that is when Myrtle flies through her, making her instinctively step further away, and then back again causing a draft that closes the door. Jessie is left in the corridor wearing nothing but some suds and a very small towel, and she suddenly realizes that she didn't pay proper attention when the schedule for password change was announced. Luckily, Luna Lovegood shows up and, somehow, knows not just that the password has changed but also what the new one is, and a spell to dry the clothes as well.

Crumple-Horned Snorcack

The **Crumple-Horned Snorcack** is a canonical Lunacy: an elusive magical creature supposed (by Xenophilius and Luna Lovegood, if nobody else) to live in Sweden.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Crumple-Horned Snorcack** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
In a source of low but non-zero canonicity, Xenophilius once described it as "purple with spiral horns and a pig nose"; he is also known to have mistaken an erumpent horn for that of a crumple-horned snorcack. According to Luna, it cannot fly, but it is not known if one would have expected it to be able to or if this was an obvious fact.

The style of the name seems to imply that there are other types of snorcacks beside the crumple-horned, but none have been mentioned in canon.

## Non-canonical information

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, Luna mentions that frazzelbees are drawn to crumple-horned snorcacks and make them their "hosts", although the details of that relationship are not expanded on.
Dirigible Plum

The **Dirigible Plum** is a canonical magical fruit; it looks like an orange radish and grows upside-down in small bushes.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Dirigible Plum** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Dirigible Plums are supposedly good for one's health, at least in small doses, and they are used in some desserts; since they are grown in the Hogwarts greenhouses, they may also have further uses in e.g. Herbology and/or as potion ingredients. Some people, among them Xenophilius Lovegood, claim that Dirigible Plums enhance the ability to accept the extraordinary; his daughter Luna can often be seen wearing a pair as earrings.

## Non-canonical information

* In Ignore the Dementor, Luna claims that either the fruit or the bush keeps nargles away.
Gillian Lyon

**Gillian "Gilly" Lyon** is a non-canonical American witch and watchmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; she is the vice-president of Lyon et Fils.

## Physical appearance

Gilly is tall, redheaded and described as "friendly-looking".

## Family relationships

She is the niece of Beauregard Lyon, and her maternal grandfather is believed to have been a Weasley, although probably not from the British branch of the family. Her mother Gudule Lyon writes book reviews for a major American newspaper.

## Trivia

* Due to her problem remembering faces, she keeps a collection of index cards where she notes down details about the people she meets.

Dryad

A **Dryad** is a non-canonical humanoid magical being mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; similar to veela they can live among wizardkind – and at least some go to their schools – but they suffer from prejudice and discrimination. They have green auras (for those who can see such) and their innate magic is connected to nature and "those who call forests home". A male dryad is known as a *drus*. At least some have green eyes.

Dryads are vegetarians. They have a longstanding political feud with the naiads, arising out of the amphibian debate of 1784; however, both parties mostly live in their own realms so in practice they have relatively few opportunities to interact.

It is not known if they have *life-mates*, nor if they can interbreed (have fertile offspring) with humans.

They should not be confused with the canonical wood nymphs, which seem to be much smaller in both stature and intelligence (just as the fairies in this story are not the same as those in canon).

## Etymology

In Greek mythology, Δρυάδες ('dryades', *sing*.: Δρυάς 'dryas') were nymphs – i.e. personifications of nature – connected with trees, and especially with oaks (δρῦς 'drys'), and as such (the word *nymph* originally meaning "young woman; bride, young wife") they were generally viewed as all-female; they were also considered to be bound to a specific place (a forest, a part of it or even a single tree). The word used in this story for the male of the species seems to be taken directly from the Greek word for "oak" (although in Greek that is a feminine word as well).

Gil Holzfaller

**Gil Holzfaller** is a non-canonical wizard and musician mentioned in The Family Clock; he provided dance music on the Trans-European Rail line to Bern during the 1996 Fall season with his mechanical orchestra. It is not known if he had built or designed the orchestra himself or merely owned it. He is shown to play a foxtrot, a ländler and a Viennese waltz, but most likely this is not his complete repertoire.

## Etymology

*Holzfäller* is the German word for "woodcutter", and it may be that this is actually the intended name (the author also drops the dots in *Fräulein*, but not in *ländler*) since the fact that Gil plays the ländler may point to him being from Austria, or perhaps Switzerland or southern Germany. On the other hand, he may also be e.g. American and the dots were dropped by an emigrating ancestor sometime in the 19th century or so.

Herpo the Foul

**Herpo the Foul** is a canonical dark wizard born in Ancient Greece; he is the first known creator of a horcrux, and was also the first to breed a basilisk.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Herpo the Foul** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Herpo was one of the first known parselmouths, an ability he used to control his basilisk, and the inventor of many dark curses. It is not known when, or even if, he died, nor if his horcrux was ever destroyed.

Based on two different depictions, he seems to have had red hair in his youth before old age turned it white, and his originally dark eyes at some point turned yellow (possibly connected to his horcrux creation; compare the snake-like traits of Voldemort). Both show him with light skin and a full beard.

His name in Ancient Greek would have been *Ἕρπων ὁ δεινός* (pronounced "Herpōn ho deinos"); this comes from the active participle of the verb *ἕρπω*, which is cognate with Latin *serpo*, the active participle of which is *serpens* - the root of English "serpent".

He appears on at least one Chocolate Frog Card.

## Non-canonical information

* In *The Code*, it is said that he was executed by Emperor Archimedes but survived due to his horcrux; he fled to Italy, where he lived for about a hundred years before his horcrux was destroyed in a siege of his tower and he eventually died from his injuries.
Hestia Jones

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the Order of the Phoenix member**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Hestia***.

## Affiliation

### Loyalty

Order of the Phoenix

**Hestia Jones** is a canonical witch and member of the Order of the Phoenix.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Hestia Jones** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Hestia was an Order member, and thus at least 17 years old, in August 1995, meaning she cannot have been born later than the 1977/78 schoolastic year. There is no indication that she was a member during the First Wizarding War and, given that she was described as a young woman, she might not have been of age at the time.

In the late 2010s, she helped the Statute of Secrecy Task Force prepare for handling the Calamity.

Her blood status is unknown, but based on her reaction to seeing a potato peeler, she can not have been muggle-born.

## Non-canonical information

* In *Breath Mints / Battle Scars*, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor during the 1998/99 school year is named Hestia. No family name is given, and considering that all other professors are mentioned only by their family names this presumably means that this is somebody Hermione is familiar with, so it is most likely Hestia Jones.

* In *The Power of Seven*, she is one of very few Order members trusted to help with saving Demelza Robins from Voldemort without getting Dumbledore involved; this may be because she has a crush on Harry.

Adrian Pucey

**Adrian Pucey** is a canonical wizard and Hogwarts student either one or two years above Harry. He was sorted into Slytherin and was chaser on their Quidditch team in the 1991/92, 1992/93 and 1995/96 school years (he was replaced by Graham Montague in 1993/94, and in 1994/95 the Quidditch cup was canceled due to the Triwizard Tournament; whether he played in the 1990/91 team is not known). He did not play in 1996/97, but whether this was due to having graduated or because the captain chose someone else is not said.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Adrian Pucey** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Adrian's appearance is not described in the books, but in the movies he has short dark hair and light skin.

## Non-canonical information

### *A Godfather's Promise*

In this story, Adrian is said to be two years above Harry, and the son of a Death Eater (likely referring to his father). He tries to inspect one of Draco Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badges after Harry's secretly added rune cluster with two opposing Push runes makes it vibrate, and the resulting explosion destroys his right eye and leaves the right side of his face almost completely scarred. After returning from the hospital wing he leads a dozen Slytherin wizards who attack Fleur, intent on raping and obliviating her, and would have succeeded in doing so had not Harry happened to pass by and take an interest; Adrian is the one who disarms her and later holds her arms behind her by the elbows while Robert McClintock rips her clothes off her body. In the ensuing fight he is the last man standing, and after Harry disarms him and Fleur burns his wand to ashes with veela fire, he pulls out a long dagger and tries to stab Harry, but the latter – being trained in martial arts – sidesteps, catches Adrian's arm and crushes his elbow joint, then kicks him in the head as he lies on the floor, rendering him unconscious. Due to the political maneuverings of the Protectionist Party, Robert and the other perpetrators are not expelled, but they are suspended for the rest of the year.

### 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 Adrian (implying that, like Marcus Flint, he had needed to repeat at least one year).

Diagon Alley Chamber of Commerce

The **Diagon Alley Chamber of Commerce** is a non-canonical organization mentioned in The Family Clock, handling common concerns for the shops in Diagon Alley. It has weekly meetings in Chamber Hall.

At least in the 1990s, but it seems to be a fairly recent change, the Chamber is bicameral, with a lower floor for those who rent their premises and an upper floor for those who own their own shops; in practice, the two "floors" are separate rows of chairs with those for the lower behind those for the upper. Only members of the upper floor can run for the elected seats by themselves, candidates from the lower must be nominated by a member of the upper (but may be seconded by anybody). The board consists of (at least) Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and Historian, all elected for a single year in October. There is a Seasonal Advertising Committee which designs banners and wreaths for the various holidays and other important occasions (such as the start of the school year), a Committee for Charity and, after Knockturn Alley was included in 1996, an Inter-Alley Cooperation Committee.

According to history textbooks, the original charter for the Ministry of Magic was granted by a *Chamber* housing masters from London's magical guilds, which may or may not be the Diagon Alley Chamber of Commerce (or its forerunner). If it is, this would – at least in theory – give the Chair considerable power, including veto against any action by the Ministry imposed on guild-controlled lands, persons or holdings.

Having more than four aurors on patrol in the Alley requires a dispensation from the Chamber to finance it.

China

**China** is a real-world country existing also in Harry Potter canon; it is the third largest country in the world by area and the largest by population, as well as by purchase-power-adjusted GDP, and the second by nominal GDP.

## Canonical information

Main article: **China** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Magical China is governed by a Ministry of Magic similar to the British; in 1932, the Chinese Minister for Magic was Liu Tao.

China lost the 2010 Quidditch World Cup final against Moldova by 640 vs 750 after a memorable three-day game.

### Known locations

* The city Jixi in the Heilongjian province is sufficiently noteworthy that the Daily Prophet reports the weather there in its international section.
* The city Nanchang, capital of the Jiangxi province, is also mentioned in the international weather section.
* The Tianzi mountains in the Kweilin prefecture (today *Guilin*) in the Guangxi autonomous region has been home to qilin at least as late as 1932.
* The autonomous region of Tibet is the home of the yeti.
* The city Zhangjiajie in the Hunan province is known for its population of Chinese Fireballs.

### Individuals

* Dzou Yen, 4th century BCE alchemist
* Liu Tao, Minister for Magic in 1932
* Quong Po, dragonologist (1443 – 1539)

## Non-canonical information

### History

* According to *The Girl Who Loved*, the muggle Shang dynasty (17th to 11th century BCE) employed dark wizards to keep the population in line, and were only defeated by the would-be Zhou dynasty (11th to 5th century BCE) after the latter hired ki adepts to hunt down and kill the wizards. The ki adepts and their descendants, known as Chinese Amazons, kept killing off any large-scale magical communities being established, leaving China with a very small, and mostly self-taught, magical population while the number of squibs — as well as the magical flora and fauna — was unaffected.

### Locations

* The valley of Jusenkyo, in the Bayankala mountain range in the Qinghai province, is a nexus of chaos magic with maybe as many as a thousand cursed springs, each with its own tragic story.

Greengrass Manor

**Greengrass Manor** is a non-canonical manor house mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; it is located in Colchester, Essex, and is in the 1990s staffed entirely by witches and wizards rather than house-elves. It has a solar adjoined by a terrace looking out over the lavish garden.

During the family's economic decline it was taken over by the Nott family, but Cygnus and Eleanor recovered it, likely in the early 1980s.

Flourish family

The **Flourish family** is a canonical wizarding family; while no members are mentioned, the shop name Flourish and Blotts indicates that the family at least has existed. Of course, a lot may have happened since its establishment in 1654, so there is no guarantee that the family is still extant.

Dixie

**Dixie** is a non-canonical house-elf mentioned in The Family Clock; she worked for the Tickes family until she died of old age in 1988. After the death of Siobhan Tickes in 1979, her main task was watching over James Tickes X and make sure he didn't try to kill himself.

Eugene Burlington

**Eugene Burlington** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Code*; he was sorted into Hufflepuff and during the 1996/97 school year he played chaser on their Quidditch team. During an Astrology lesson the same year, Millicent Bulstrode flew to the top of the Astronomy Tower on a broom to ask him for a Valentine's Day date in Hogsmeade, having threatened prefect Draco Malfoy to leave her own position on the Slytherin Quidditch team if he didn't let her into the broom shed. Astrology is taught from the fourth year, but it seems more likely that Millicent would have gone for someone in her own year, or at most a year older or younger.

David Davis

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the cousin of Tracey Davis working as personal assistant to Cygnus Greengrass**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *David* or *Davis***.

## Relationship information

### Relatives

* Ian Davis (uncle)
* Tracey Davis (cousin)

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Personal assistant to Lord Cygnus Greengrass

**David Davis** is a non-canonical wizard mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; he is the personal assistant of Lord Cygnus Greengrass and a cousin of Tracey Davis, making him the nephew of Ian Davis, Speaker of the Wizengamot in 1995. His appearance is not mentioned, beyond growing red in the face from physical exertion (suggesting a light skin coloration).

## Behind the scenes

Only his first name is given, so he could be Tracey's cousin on her and/or his mother's side (and thus have a family name other than Davis), but it seems likely this is the intended interpretation.

Emily (Sorted in 1993)

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the fourth-year student in *The Power of Seven***. You may be looking for **somebody else named Emily**.

## Affiliation

### House

Gryffindor

**Emily** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; she is two years below Harry and was sorted into Gryffindor. During a chance encounter in the Hogwarts library after the secret of his polyamorous relationship got out, she panics and hysterically proclaims her lack of an interest in joining him.
Delirium Draught

**Delirium Draught** is a non-canonical potion mentioned in *The Code*; its effect is unclear (whether it induces or reduces delirium) but it is one of the potions mentioned in *Past Pleasure and Pain: The Psychological Potions*, which means it may or may not be among the "torture potions" developed by Severus Snape for Voldemort. In either case, a breakthrough of some kind was made in or shortly before 1996.

*See also: Delirium antidote*
Florean Fortescue's son

**Florean Fortescue's son** is a non-canonical historical British wizard mentioned in The Family Clock; he was the son of Florean Fortescue, but was killed by death eaters during the First Wizarding War (his killer was apprehended by Siobhan Tickes, who was killed herself in 1979). He may have been the father of Ms Fortescue-Price, and thus the (posthumous adoptive) grandfather of Loren Price-Fortescue, although she is more commonly said to be Florean's niece, and thus his cousin.

If he did have a daughter who in 1990 was in a age range considered suitable for a parent to a child conceived through artificial insemination, she was likely born in the second half of the 1950s or the first half of the 1960s, and he himself was likely born in the 1920s or 1930s; this fits fairly well with Florean's statement in this story that he had been "matchmaking the young people of Diagon for nearly ninety years" (in 1996) and thus would have most likely been born in the 1890s. Of course, if Loren's mama rather was his cousin he may have been younger as well, at least if a certain age gap between his parents can be assumed.
