GRYFFINDOR fun to be around. maybe a bit too reckless for her taste but she finds she often is more similar to them in character than to those in her own house. |
HUFFLEPUFF ooo nice people! venus appreciates this house for their kindness and determination. she's much more likely to trust someone in hufflepuff compared to any other house. |
SLYTHERIN ah slytherin, her own house. venus hates the reputation of "evilness" that her house gets. was it because they were the most ambitious and the other houses were jealous? she didn't know. |
RAVENCLAW ravenclaw... reminds her of mercury. they're probably all stick-in-the-mud types just like her too. they're interesting conversationalists but when they're unresponsive it weirds venus out. |

history placeholder- if you couldn't tell this ency is under reconstruction and a mess (':
The first rule in the Adair family handbook is simple— you must win. Yes, there is a family handbook. Every pureblood family of adequate status must have one. It was written in the late 18th century and is preserved in the upper right hand corner of Family Archives Shelf #3D, the shelf containing records of etiquette and proper behavior, including unions and alliances with other pureblood houses.
Ulysses Adair, a winner? One might puzzle over the association. To those who knew him in his school years, the phrase “odd duck” suited him better. He was rarely ever on time to class and his shoes were often on the wrong feet when he was. Space and the study of muggle science were his main passions. A majority of his time was spent in the astronomy tower or in the library studying astronomy. He (somehow) graduated from the Ravenclaw house and currently works from the Adair Manor, publishing a research paper every once in a while.
To the average pureblood gossip hound, the news of Ulysses’s marriage came as a shock. Angeline Ha came from an affluent background and was known as the most beautiful girl in her year. She didn’t know of Ulysses’s existence when they were students. After graduating from the Slytherin house and pursuing a career in the Ministry, an arrangement at a gathering was made and the betrothal was set. They married that summer.
The children of the newlywed couple were named (at the insistence of Ulysses) following the pattern of planets. First came Mercury, or Ry as she goes by, born in 2008. She is the most studious of the group and was sorted into Hufflepuff upon arrival to Hogwarts. Mars, born in 2013, is the youngest. As the only boy of the family, he got into trouble the most because of his competitive nature and temper. Venus, the middle child, was born in 2011. She has neither the responsibility of her older sister or the rebellious nature of her younger brother. Instead, she was the peacemaker between the two, the glue which kept quarrels from turning into grudges.
Venus and her siblings were raised on the sprawling grounds of the Adair manor. Located on the island of Foula, the manor is surrounded entirely by wild land free to explore if the weather permits. Springtime was the season for flower crowns and frog hunting. Summertime was best for making stick forts enacting imaginary battles to see whose design was the most sturdy. Fall brought playing in the mud, which was a temptation too strong to ignore despite the cries of improper behavior received from the adults.
Ulysses and Angeline were permissive with the children. As long as she did well in her homeschool classes, Venus was allowed to do practically anything she wished within reason. It was her grandparents who carried the iron fist of proper manners and wizarding etiquette.
