Alastor Moody

**Alastor "Mad-Eye" Mooney** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and former auror; he was a member of both the original and the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix and was hired as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for the 1994/95 school year. However, he was subdued by the escaped Death Eater Barty Crouch jr, who took his place using polyjuice potion in order to ensure that Harry Potter won the Triwizard Tournament.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Alastor Moody** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*
Moody's age is unknown, but since he was an auror (which takes three years of training after a succesful N.E.W.T. exam) in 1980 he cannot have been born later than the 1958/59 school year. He mentored Tonks during at least parts of her Auror training between 1991 and 1994, but had been forced to retire from service before the summer of 1994 when he was hired as D.A.D.A. professor at Hogwarts. He died in the Battle of the Seven Potters, on 27 July 1997.

He has no known living family members.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In Harry Potter: Neko's Mate, Moody's retirement from the auror corps is set to take place in January 1993; he has worked for at least fifty years and was involved in the investigation of the 1943 Chamber of Secrets incident and the murder of Myrtle Warren.

* In The Family Clock he seems to say that he was an "auror cadet" (and barely seventeen years old) in 1939 – he was impressed by how Jetty Tickes handled an IRA bombing, but given his description of the events leading up to fellow auror Siobhan McArran's 1967 wedding, this cannot have been during the mid-1970s Troubles but must rather refer to the 1939/40 S-Plan bombings. Despite this, he is again working at (or at least for) the aurory in 1996, almost sixty years later, with no mention of his harrowing experience during the 1994/95 school year or the prior retirement. It is also implied that he has been married but lost his wife shortly after, either during the First Wizarding War or possibly the war with Grindelwald.
Aurora Sinistra

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the Astronomy professor**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Aurora***.

## Relationship information

### (non-canonical)

***Ignore the Dementor**** Matthew Bastien (mate)

## Affiliation

### Occupation

Hogwarts professor, Astronomer

**Aurora Sinistra** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts professor of Astronomy.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Aurora Sinistra** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
She has been teaching at Hogwarts since at least the 1985/86 school year (meaning that she can't have been born later than the 1967/68 school year).

While her appearance is never described in the books, the one film she appears in depict her as tall, with dark hair, eyes and skin, and with a slightly circular face with noticeable cheek bones and a prominent, sharp nose. Her looks could indicate that she was born in Africa, in which case she may have studied at Uagadou School of Magic, whose students are known to be skilled in Astronomy.

## Non-canonical information

### *Ignore the Dementor*

In this creature!fic she is younger than in canon (born around 1971/72), and in January of 1996 she is revealed to be the magically chosen mate of Matthew Bastien, a seventh-year student who is secretly a veela masquerading as a human. Luckily for him, she is single, having dumped her latest boyfriend – a Quidditch player for the Chudley Cannons – sometime in the Fall after he cheated on her with a friend; even better, she is "obsessed" with veela. 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.

### Minor appearances

* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, when Severus Snape is arrested she is offered his post as Head of Slytherin House, and accepts.

Ballybog

A **ballybog** is a non-canonical magical creature mentioned in *The Code*; in the spring of 1997, D.A.D.A. professor Bryant Stevick has his sixth-year students write an essay on how best to defend oneself if lost in a bog and attacked by thirty ballybogs in a phalanx formation using a pincer maneuver and carrying an anti-fire ward. As Hermione points out, this scenario is ridiculously contrived since ballybogs are not pack animals and do not even have a structural hierarchy, much less "a military that was trained in ancient Roman battle tactics"; however, from the details it seems clear that they fear fire and that this is the normal way of attacking them. With that option unavailable, Hermione suggests freezing the bog to immobilize them, while Draco prefers using lightning bolts.
Brynhildr family

The **Brynhildr family** seems to be a non-canonical valkyrie family mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; however, as we know practically nothing about valkyrie society it is also possible that this is merely a cover used while spending time among witches and wizards. On its own, the name *Brynhildr* is rather a personal name than a family one, and in the Old Norse culture (from which the concept of valkyries comes) family names were not in use at all.

While canonically Hogwarts only accepts students from Britain and Ireland, valkyries are primarily associated with Scandinavia and Iceland. However, it may be that the Brynhildr family lives in Orkney or Shetland, which were both under Norwegian rule until the mid-15th century.

Castle Anthrax

The topic of this article is taken from a crossover story and has been adapted from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*; be careful when using it in other contexts. Familiarity with the original source(s) may be of benefit (see links).

## Castle Anthrax

### Canonicity

None (*The Girl Who Loved*, *Violence Inherent in the System*)

## Location information

### Permanent residents

* Zoot and Dingo Lovegood (1996/97)

**Anthrax School of Witchcraft and Textiles Production**, colloquially known as **Castle Anthrax**, is a non-canonical all-witches boarding school near Tintagel, Cornwall, mentioned in *The Girl Who Loved* and its sequel *Violence Inherent in the System*; it is a crossover cameo adapted from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*. Constance Brown refers to it as "our great nation's chief repository of chaste maidens".

It is not known what age groups are taught at Castle Anthrax, although Hermione speculates that it may be equivalent to a further education college; if so, it is likely open to students who have sat their O.W.L. exams (i e, from sixth year and up). Since the only two known students, the twin sisters Zoot and Dingo Lovegood, are said to be "upper year" students during the 1996/97 school year, it is clear that it teaches more than a single year group at a time, but it may be that there are only two years. On the other hand, Luna says (in the summer between her fourth and fifth year) that she "would have gone there" instead of Hogwarts if her father had had his way, but it is in fact not obvious if she refers to the past four years or her future schooling.

Adrian Pucey's father

**Adrian Pucey's father** is a demi-canonical wizard, meaning that while he doesn't actually appear in canon he must nonetheless have existed (at least up until the conception of his son).

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, he is said to be (or possibly *have been*; it is not clear whether he is still alive) a Death Eater. If he is alive, he is likely a member of the Protectionist Party.

Ammon (thestral)

**Ammon** is a non-canonical thestral mentioned in *The Code*; it is owned by the Malfoy family (see Malfoy Manor thestral stables) and is older and better mannered than Eagan, and thus the preferred mount of Lucius.

## Etymology

*Ammon* is the name of an ancient kingdom in modern-day Jordan, mentioned in the Bible, where it is also said to be the name of a son of Lot; it is further an alternative spelling of the Egyptian god Amun. For other uses, see Wikipedia.

Alchemical scale

### Usage

When fed a small sample of a substance, the runes indicating its properties will heat up

### Location

* Room of Requirement

An **alchemical scale** is a non-canonical magical research tool mentioned in *The Power of Seven*; it is used to find the magical properties of substances. Hermione finds one in the Room of Requirement.

The scale consists of a simple metal disc mounted in a rune-engraved stone frame; it is activated by saying an incantation while holding one's wand against the center of the disc. When a substance sample is placed on the scale, it dissolves "like a drop of water in a hot pan" and a number of the runes heat up. Each specific combination of runes indicates a specific set of properties.

Many theoretical combinations of runes have never been found, and much debate has been had on whether this is because they are inherently impossible or if there may be unknown substances, maybe entire magical species, out there still waiting to be found.

The combination of Uruz (ᚢ) and Ingwaz (ᛜ) has a strong association with fertility and sexual desire, pointing to a substance probably being useful for strengthening solutions or possibly even healing potions.

1997/98 school year

The **1997/98 school year** is covered in canon by ***Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows***; see also 1997-1998 school year at the *Harry Potter Wiki*, as well as 1997/98, 1997 and 1998.

## Students

### In Hogwarts

This year, muggle-born students were not allowed to attend Hogwarts. Students known to have not attended class due to Voldemort's reign, but who otherwise would have, are ~~struck through~~ while those known to have been present are underlined; however, for most students it is not known whether they were allowed or not.

\*\*A surprisingly high number of people with Japanese names could be seen on the Marauders' Map during the 1993/94 school year. While most other categories of foreign names present can be explained by historical movements within the British Empire and/or Commonwealth, these cannot; if perhaps there was an (otherwise unannounced) exchange program with Mahoutokoro, or some other more temporary reason for them to be there, they may not have been present in other years.

### In other schools

**Note:** In the following table, years are given as "Hogwarts equivalent", i e the year they would have been in had they gone to Hogwarts. Other schools may have different matriculation and/or graduation ages, so the actual designations could be different. Also, schools outside of Britain would not necessarily use the same "cut-off date" (1 September) to decide which year a student belongs to.

As there are so very few canonical students in other schools, they are written in **bold** rather than on their own row.
Bones family

The **Bones family** is a canonical British wizarding family with some muggle heritage.

## Canonical information

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

### *A Godfather's Promise*

Here, Bones is one of the oldest magical families in Britain, alongside Greengrass, Longbottom, Abbott, Black and Potter. They count their descent from Ulf the Cruel, who was given land near York after presenting king Ivar the Boneless with a hundred Saxon skulls; this would have happened sometime between 865 and 870. Ulf's axe is still preserved at Bones Manor together with a tapestry depicting men in longships raiding, pillaging, raping and slaughtering around Ulf himself who "gleefully execute[s] some Saxon man by blood eagle". The family coat of arms is a grey wolf lying "atop a mountain of bones" eyeing the watcher menacingly, and they still own land in Denmark.

### *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*

In this story, the House of Bones has a seat on the Wizengamot, and is part of the Great Alliance and the Light Alliance.

## Family members

### Canonical

* Amelia Bones, Susan's aunt and head of the DMLE
* Edgar Bones, Susan's uncle and the brother of Amelia; killed by death eaters during the First Wizarding War together with his wife and children
* Susan Bones

Susan's parents are not named, but seem to be alive.

There is also a Seraphina Bones whose portrait was hung in Hogwarts castle; when she lived and how (or even if) she was related to the rest of the family is unknown.

### Non-canonical

* Ulf the Cruel, 9th-century founder
* Alexander Bones, possibly older brother of Susan
* Leticia Bones, auror of unknown relation (but too young to be Susan's mother)

Asphyxiation Spell

The **Asphyxiation Spell** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *The Code*; it stops the target's breathing for thirty seconds. It is considered a "fast-cast spell" because it requires "no complicated wand strokes" and thus may slip through a newly-cast shield before it has fully formed; as a side-effect, it also restricts the target to nonverbal magic for the duration of the spell.
Blaise Zabini's mother

***Isolation***

* †Theodore Nott's father (husband)

**Blaise Zabini's mother** is a canonical witch known for having married seven times, each time becoming an even richer widow after the husband's "mysterious" death; her wealth, and perhaps connections, made Horace Slughorn invite her son Blaise to join his Slug Club.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Blaise Zabini's mother** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
It is not known if *Zabini* – a name of Italian or Portuguese origin – is her maiden name, the name of Blaise's father or that of her most recent husband. If it is her maiden name, she may be related to the Grindelwald supporter named Zabini.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *A Godfather's Promise*, Carmela Zabini is rumoured to have an affair with Narcissa Malfoy during their "extensive trips in Italy"; while not stated outright, this is likely intended to be a reference to Blaise Zabini's mother.

* In *Isolation*, she marries the father of Theodore Nott in the early summer of 1997, who then volunteers both boys for the Dark Mark. One of Blaise's stepfathers is also said to have had a muggle-born mother, who was still alive and met with at least Blaise in 1995/96.

Aurora Jones

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the half-werewolf starting Hogwarts in 1993**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Aurora* or *Jones***.

## Biographical information

### Blood status

Part-human, either Pure-blood or Half-blood (presumably)

## Relationship information

### Relatives

Aurelius Jones (twin brother)* Gwenog Jones (possibly)
* Hestia Jones (possibly)
* Megan Jones (possibly)
* Peter Jones (possibly)

## Affiliation

### Loyalty

* Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures
* Dumbledore's Army

**Aurora Jones** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; she is two years below Harry, sorted into Hufflepuff and – like her twin brother Aurelius – a Half-werewolf and member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures. The students of her house, and likely of Aurerlius' as well, know what she is but otherwise she tries to keep it secret. Both she and her brother joined Dumbledore's Army.

Her father's best friend is a werewolf, but whether that should be taken to imply that he is one as well, or that his wife is one and he met her through said friend, is not clear.

It is not known whether she is related to any of the canonical Joneses (Gwenog, Hestia, Megan and Peter), but given that she is a half-werewolf she is likely not muggle-born; at the same time, considering the low status of werewolves, it is unlikely that she would be counted as a pure-blood no matter who her ancestors were.

Anti-digression charm

An **anti-digression charm** is a (possibly hypothetical) non-canonical charm mentioned in *The Family Clock*; Jessie Tickes complains that her Thinknotes Quill does not have one, but it is not clear if there are models that do or if she just wishes there were. Since the quill in question writes down *everything* she thinks, the output tends to be filled with digressions as her mind gets side-tracked by associations, and a charm able to pick out the relevant parts and omit the rest would certainly be useful.
1800s (century)

The **1800s** is the **century 1800-1899**. This page lists events known or likely to have occurred during these years, but where the exact year or decade cannot be stated with certainty; for those where it can, see the respective decade:

* Richard Potter: likely in the 1880s or 1890s; in any case before 1900 (fought in the Battle of the Frontiers in 1914)
* Ian Gardner Tickes II: before Ian Gardner Tickes III (see below), and after John Tickes graduated in 1762, but likely not before the 1780s (when James Tickes II may have had a son)
* Ian Gardner Tickes III: before  Jamesina Switch, so likely in the early 1890s or in the 1880s
* James Tickes IV: likely around the 1830s, but in any case after 1800 (at least two generations after James Tickes II) and before 1880 (compare James Tickes VII below)
* Victoire Vigouroux: between 1875 (had a child after 1919) and 1900 (old enough to volunteer in a WW1 nurse's station in 1914)
* Wilfred Walkins: likely in the 1880s or 1890s ("veteran" Quidditch player in the 1920s)

## Deaths

* Daphne Gautier Lyon: likely before 1900, since she seems to have been born between 1775 and 1795
* Gustave Lyon: likely before 1900, since he seems to have been born before 1795

## Other

* **Alberic Grunnion invents the Dungbomb (presumably after 1815, when he turned 12, and before 1882 when he died).**
* The Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures is founded (early 19th century)
* **Laverne de Montmorency develops a number of Love Potions.**
* **c. 1890: A first year joins one of the Hogwarts House Quidditch teams, becoming the youngest person ever to do so and keeping the record for the next century until Harry Potter joins the Gryffindor team in 1991.**

Angel's Trumpet

### Physical characteristics

White flowers (HP:WU); possibly also yellow, pink/purple or (B only) orange, green or red

### Used in

* Angel's Trumpet Draught
* Tonic for Trace Detection

### (non-canonical)

* Seek and Find

**Angel's Trumpet** is a canonical potion ingredient; it is a flowering plant of either the genus *Brugmansia* or the closely related *Datura*; the latter looks more similar to the picture used in *Harry Potter: Wizards United*, but is more commonly referred to as "Devil's Trumpet". In either case, it is native to South (B) or Central (D) America but today cultivated as ornamental plants in frost-free climates all over the world. It is highly poisonous with delirial and hallucinogenic effects, and was historically used by many American indigenous cultures both medically and as part of religious ceremonies. Especially Datura (of which one species, *Datura metel*, was introduced to the Indian subcontinent no later than the second century CE – whether by natural or human agency is, as yet, unknown) has historically been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.

This article is about **the young widow killed by death eaters**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Annabelle***.

## Biographical information

### Marital status

* Married (Fall 1997)
* Widowed (January 1998)

## Relationship information

### Romances

* †Unnamed husband

**Annabelle Snowbloom** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in *Isolation*. In January of 1998 she and her (unnamed) husband of less than six months were caught in an attack on St Mungo's by Death Eaters; she was among the fifty-one who managed to escape and were treated at Hogwarts, but her husband was killed. Annabelle, who seemed to be in her mid-twenties, was left heart-broken and said it would have been better if she had died as well. Later, her name was one in a list of people reported on Potterwatch as being confirmed murdered; the report was made in early-to-mid March 1998, but it is not clear how long she had been dead at that time.

Presumably, *Snowbloom* was her married name, but there is no indication of a maiden name.

Apollo Nooke

**Apollo Nooke** is a non-canonical wizard and book seller mentioned in The Family Clock; he and his wife Mary run Nooke's Books and More in Knockturn Alley. They have a daughter, also named Mary, who was in Hogwarts during the early-to-mid 1990s.

In late October 1996, Apollo was attacked by Rabastan Lestrange, who threw him into a streetlight with enough force to dent it. Luckily, this happened right outside the Diagon Alley premises of Jas. W. Tickes and Sons, and Jessie Tickes managed to halt the attack before he was further hurt, but he was sent to St Mungo's to check for concussion.

1994/95 school year

The **1994/95 school year** is covered in canon by ***Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire***; see also 1994-1995 school year at the *Harry Potter Wiki*, as well as 1994/95, 1994 and 1995.

## Stories

### Stories set during the 1994/95 school year

*A Godfather's Promise* · *It's Always The Quiet Ones*

## Hogwarts staff

### D.A.D.A. Professor

* Bartemius Crouch Junior, posing as Alastor Moody

### Prefects

In a source of limited (but non-zero) canonicity, no less than 21(!) further male prefects active during 1993/94
have been named, beyond the canonical Cedric Diggory, Marcus Turner and Percy Weasley; at most nine of them can be considered canonical, and there is no way to determine which unless more data is released. However, if any of them are considered canonical, some of them may have been prefects this year as well.

## Students

### In Hogwarts

\*Far too many people have been claimed to be prefects during the 1993/94 school year, so some of the students of unknown year and unknown house marked (6-7) above may perhaps be younger than that.

\*\*A surprisingly high number of people with Japanese names could be seen on the Marauders' Map during the 1993/94 school year. While most other categories of foreign names present can be explained by historical movements within the British Empire and/or Commonwealth, these cannot; if perhaps there was an (otherwise unannounced) exchange program with Mahoutokoro, or some other more temporary reason for them to be there, they may not have been present in other years.

### In other schools

**Note:** In the following table, years are given as "Hogwarts equivalent", i e the year they would have been in had they gone to Hogwarts. Other schools may have different matriculation and/or graduation ages, so the actual designations could be different. Also, schools outside of Britain would not necessarily use the same "cut-off date" (1 September) to decide which year a student belongs to.

As there are so very few canonical students in other schools, they are written in **bold** rather than on their own row.

Betrothal contract

A **betrothal contract**, also known as a **marriage contract**, is a plot device that is sometimes used to slip the characters into "interesting" and/or multiple pairings. The concept is not mentioned in canon, but given that it is hinted that, at least among some pure-blood families, marriages are arranged sometimes more for the benefit of the family than out of love, their existence in the wizarding world is a quite reasonable assumption. The exact details, however, can vary a lot between stories.

## Examples

### Harry Potter: Neko's Mate

In this story polygamy (or at least polygyny) is allowed and sometimes even expected, especially in order to continue blood lines and family names. Thus, it is quite possible – but not actually common – to be a part to more than one contract at the same time. The wife normally takes the name of the husband, but if she has no brothers she may need to keep her own name in order to continue the family line; this can be regulated in the contract through a so-called *Line Continuance Option*, although doing so usually means she is relegated to the role of second wife. In the next generation, the two family names would then be continued by different children, but if such a marriage yields only a single child they may in turn need to continue both lines by marrying twice.

Contracs that cannot be fulfilled in the intended generation – e g because one part died – can be inherited by the next, although it is not clear if this happens automatically or needs some sort of concious decicion. When "active", a contract may be used to impose quite harsh restrictions, especially on the woman, up to forbidding any "fraternization" with other men.

### The Girl Who Loved

While taking control of his Gringotts account, Harry is faced by no less than nine betrothal contracts, although only two have been countersigned by former Lords of the Ancient and Noble House of Potter and one of the those shows slight traces of the Imperius curse or similar magic. The last one offers the opportunity, but not the obligation, to marry a member of the Lovegood family; said opportunity has been passed over for three centuries, and Harry chooses to continue this tradition.

Bartholomew Beedle

**Bartholomew Beedle** is a non-canonical wizard and Hogwarts student mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he is two years below Harry, was sorted into Ravenclaw and is a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures because he is secretly a vampire masquerading as human. It is not known if he was born a vampire or became one while still a child.

Whether the family name implies a relationship to Beedle the Bard is not known.

Alicia Spinnet

**Alicia Spinnet** is a canonical witch and Hogwarts student two years above Harry; she played chaser on the Gryffindor quidditch team from her third year, was a member of Dumbledore's Army and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Alicia Spinnet** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Before getting a regular place on the Quidditch team in her third year, she was a reserve player in her second; however, it is not known if she had the chance to play in any game.

In her fourth year she, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson attended Lockhart's attempt to start a Dueling Club, at the beginning of which they fought over a cloak he tossed into the crowd.

While Alicia's ethnicity was never described in the books, her depiction in the movies, games and on Pottermore is varied but consistently non-white.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Family Clock*, she is said to have dated (or at least made out with) Mel Redfern during their seventh year.

Akintunde Ejiofor

**Akintunde Ejiofor** is a non-canonical wizard and professional Quidditch player mentioned in *The Family Clock*; in the mid-1990s he played chaser in the English National Quidditch team. This means that he likely was born sometime between 1965 and 1975.

## Etymology

*Ejiofor* ([ˈɛdʒioʊfɔːr] EJ-ee-oh-for) is a Nigerian surname.
Brockehurst

**Brockehurst** is a non-canonical witch and Hogwarts student mentioned in It's Always The Quiet Ones; she is in the year above Harry and was sorted into Ravenclaw. She and Marietta Edgecombe are depicted as among the chief tormentors of Luna Lovegood until they – and Snape – go too far and manage to truly ignite her ire. (This character may have been intended as a reference to Mandy Brocklehurst, except that the latter is in Harry's year rather than Marietta's.)

Her first name is not mentioned, nor her appearance beyond having dark hair.

Altufumos

**Altufumos** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *A Godfather's Promise*; it conjures deep, dark smoke that envelops the caster and thus allows them some freedom to move around without others knowing their exact location (but also keeps the caster from seeing what other people do).

## Etymology

The Latin adjective *altus* can, beside the more common 'high/tall', mean 'deep', and *fumos* is the accusative plural of *fumus* 'smoke, steam, fume'. (The author mentions *fumo* in an author's note, which could be the dative or ablative singular form, but is more likely actually a mix-up with the verbal form *fumo* 'I smoke, steam, fume'.) The forms do not quite fit together, since the accusative plural masculine form of *altus* (to fit *fumos*) is *altos* (with an *o*), and similarly the dative and ablative singular forms are *alto*; the *u* is kept only in nominative and accusative singular, where it is kept also by *fumus*. So, it should probably rather be *altufumus* 'deep smoke', or possibly plural accusative *altofumos* 'deep smokes'.

Annabelle White

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the Slytherin student sorted in 1996**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Annabelle***.

## Affiliation

### Loyalty

Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club

**Annabelle White** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in *Violence Inherent in the System*. She is five years younger than Harry, blonde and was sorted into Slytherin House. When Harry and Hermione had to take over teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts to the four youngest years, she became something of a favorite student of his (some would even say "teacher's pet"). She may have had a crush on him as well. Annabelle was a member of the Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club and, together with her friend Christine Stuart, approached Juliet Granger offering to help her study for Potions class. The three seemed to become good friends.

Annabelle is the younger sister of Claribelle White, and their parents were quite starstruck when they briefly met Harry on Platform 9¾ in January of 1997; taken together, this suggests that she likely was not a muggle-born.

Anti-crying charm

A non-canonical **anti-crying charm** is mentioned in *The Code*; it can be used on babies who won't stop crying. However, if it is left too long it can become permanent; having been charmed for his first seven years, Draco is said to be physically unable to cry even nine years after it was lifted and is instead limited to express his grief through screaming.

Gardner Tickes

**Ian Gardner Tickes IV**, commonly known as **Gardner** or, to his nephew and niece, **Uncle Gard**, is a non-canonical wizard and watchmaker mentioned in *The Family Clock*; he runs the Hogsmeade showroom of Jas. W. Tickes and Sons. His exact age is not mentioned, but he once flunked Snape's class so he must still have been in Hogwarts during the 1981/82 school year (which was Snape's first year as a teacher); this means he was born in 1963/64 at the earliest. He is also said to have been "still a teenager" when his sister-in-law was killed in the fall of 1979, so it can't have been later than early October 1966 (and probably a fair bit earlier, to be one "still"). In Hogwarts he was sorted into either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff; no Tickes has ever been in Gryffindor or Slytherin.

## Physical description

Gardner has brown hair like his niece, a curl-ended mustache and (probably) sideburns, and tends to get heavily sunburned due to his love of fishing.

## Family relationships

Gardner is the son of Myron Tickes; his mother's name is never mentioned, but she was the daughter of a muggle-born witch (James has a muggle-born grandmother, and Myron's mother was a pure-blood) and she died of cancer, probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s. He is the brother of James Tickes X, and thus the brother-in-law of first Siobhan Tickes and later Sarah Tickes, and the uncle of Ian, Jessie, Robby and Davy Tickes. After the death of Siobhan, when James suffered a nine-year bout of severe depression, he and his father had to raise Ian and Jessie (nine and two years old, respectively).

Jessie "strongly suspects" him to be gay, something that is apparently supported by rumours at The Sticky Lick, and that he has "mildly serious relationships" which "fizzle out gracefully" after some time.

## Trivia

* As a teenager in the late 1970s he visited muggle discotheques practically every night.

* He was 21 years old when he became full partner in the family business.

* As a child, his favourite toy was an enormous stuffed toad with a jingle-bell in its belly, called Mr Tinks.
