Reducio

They were born in Italy. Their parents were eccentrics: their father, an exceptional dollmaker known in the high society of wizarding Italy, and their mother, no less of an oddity, a fashion designer. Needless to say, they grew up among the arts and the aristocracy. They developed a liking for similar things in turn, but unlike their parents they were more interested in decay than in creation.
When they were nine years old, their father became involved in shady business, or perhaps it had begun earlier, but in that year the Vespucci-Delacroix family were forced to flee Italy, as Mr Vespucci was in debt and unable to pay it back. With what remained of their fortune, they managed to escape to the United Kingdom and settle in Oxford. Their whereabouts are still not shared with many, and the family keeps its business mostly low-key.
For Ginevra, it was never quite clear why they had to leave home, but they were not attached to it anyway. To them it was simply a passing place to perform their rituals, to conjure their spirits, and take from it what was theirs. England was not much different. The move did not affect the child.
Attending Hogwarts was a weighty decision for the family, as they were concerned about privacy, but after Ginevra proved trustworthy with secrets, and following careful consideration, they decided to send her to Hogwarts.

It happened when they were nine: they became very angry, and a nearby glass vase shattered.

Reducio

There had been hints of Alfie’s gift almost from the moment of his birth. But these instances had been subtle or fleeting, and as they were observed only by muggles who didn’t believe in magic, they were dismissed as natural occurrences or an optical illusion, or possibly just misremembering or fancy. “You ought to have seen the faces you pulled when you were upset!" his mother told him. "It was like you were a different baby entirely.”

There was also a confusion over his hair color in his first year, when the sparse wisps of baby hair had seemed to change from day to day. “But that was only because there were so few hairs, you see,” his mother explained. “Once there were enough of them I knew you’d be dark like your father.” Though his full head of black curls had seemed to appear all at once, his grandmother pointed out, as if they had grown rapidly overnight. “That just happens sometimes with babies,” they both concluded without suspicion. There was nothing peculiar about it.

His eyes had also been a subject of controversy. Were they blue? Were they grey? Were they hazel? All perfectly natural colors, but everyone seemed to remember something different, until, in the midst of a Sunday dinner table debate, his grandfather had insisted they all go into the garden to get a good look at Alfie’s eyes where the light was better. He’d wanted to prove, once and for all, that he had the right to it. Alfie’s eyes were green, like his. Only they hadn’t been. After they had all squinted and squinted again, Alfie’s eyes were determined to be blue, or possibly a blueish-greyish-greenish hazel. In the end, it was declared that Alfie's eyes were just peculiar. They had an odd sort of quality that made them look differently depending on the light. This was also quite normal, they insisted to each other. They believed it too.

It was not until Alfie’s first instance of real magic (see above) that the situation took an unexpected turn. The household was visited by a person who called himself a muggle liaison officer, but only Alfie’s grandmother had been there to receive him. After surprisingly little convincing that magic was real, she was made aware of Alfie’s unique gift and possible special talent. She passed along the information later to her husband and daughter, filtered through her own background and vocabulary until it sounded more like the ancient stories from Welsh mythology, something that virtually no one believed anymore. It was taken as a massive and elaborate delusion by her less imaginative family.

The consensus belief, which was confirmed by a muggle doctor, was that Mrs. Owen was suffering from dementia, or as Mr. Owen expressed it, she was “gancyn yn brin o'r cant” (a penny short of a hundred). This diagnosis was sad, but not unsurprising at her age, and because she seemed capable otherwise, and was no danger to herself or Alfie, they were able to politely nod and smile any time she apprised them of further visits from ‘the man in the fireplace’, or explained what she had learned about Alfie and his gifts. Of course, Alfie would have to be told of his grandmother’s affliction before she got to him, or he might have started believing his grandmother’s stories. Alfie’s relationship with the truth was already suspect. (He was a frequent liar) It would be a disaster if he actually believed his grandmother’s tales and started introducing himself as one of y tylwyth teg (the fair family). It would be like the time he told his year one classmates that his father was a famous rugby player. He was still living down that lie, a claim to faerie magic would brand him for life.

“You’ve got to understand that your nain is getting on in years,” his mother had confided to him, in uncharacteristically gentle tones. “I know you love her and her stories, but they are just that. Stories. Your nain knows that too, deep down. She just gets confused. She doesn’t mean to, but she can’t help it. So, if she tells you, for instance, about magical men popping out of the fireplace, or that she is descended from selkies, or that faerie magic is in your blood, or anything crazy like that, well you mustn’t mind it.”

She’d concluded by telling him to let her know if Nain got ‘too bad’ so she could do something about it. But Alfie remembered stories of some of his mother’s patients, who had been put away by their families, too far away for his mother to go on treating them. He didn't want the same thing to happen to his own grandmother so he resolved to keep her eccentricities to himself.

In the end, his nain didn't change all that much. If anything, he thought her stories just became better, especially the ones about himself. Alfie could only wish that they were actually real. But everything else about his drab existence in a depressing little town told him that fantastic things don’t really happen to people. He was not to find out otherwise for a number of years.

Of course, there were a few other peculiar happenings in the intervening years. They mostly happened in moments of stress or heightened emotion. Alfie occasionally thought he was losing his grasp on reality, a bit like his grandmother had done. But unnatural things just don’t happen, or so he was constantly told. The glitches, as he started to think of them, almost never happened with witnesses, or if they did, he might notice a cocked head or a strange look before the person shook their head or rubbed their eyes, before muttering to themselves, or declaring that it was nothing. Similarly, on the rare instances when Alfie caught a strange face looking back at him from a mirror, the ‘illusion’ was fleeting and he was left only slightly disquieted before laughing at his own credulity.

The long awaited paradigm shift came not long after Alfie’s grandmother died. Her illness began in December of Alfie’s tenth year. She was dead and buried before the new year. The family’s grief was immense, with each of them struggling in some way. In March, his grandfather declared that the best way to process their grief was to pack away her things and ‘move on with it.’ Alfie found this sentiment callous as if he were expected to forget her too soon. So, when his grandfather stepped out for a smoke, Alfie snuck into his grandparents’ bedroom to look at her things for one last time. His grandfather’s return came sooner than expected and Alfie was caught red-faced and ashamed, both because of the privacy violation and because he knew his grandfather was also grieving. His grandfather was angry, but worse he shouted, “Who are you? What are you doing in my house?” Alfie was unaware that his face was not just red, but that it had changed just enough as to be unrecognizable. Alfie tried to stammer out some excuse, but whatever he said was incomprehensible to his grandfather who eventually calmed enough to decide that the trespassing boy was one of Alfie’s friends. “This is not a good time. Come back tomorrow,” he told him, ushering him out the door. “I’ll tell Alfie you were here.” And there had been nothing Alfie could say to get his grandfather to see him for who he was.

Alfie’s emotions continued to spiral in the hours that followed. He didn’t know what to do. He could only suppose that his grandfather was suffering from the same dementia that took his grandmother. Later however, when both the clerk at Realm of Nerds and the manager of the Top G Store had failed to know him, Alfie was forced to accept that it wasn’t dementia, unless dementia was something you could catch when you were ten.

He returned home as the sky darkened and waited on the stoop for his mother’s return from work. The street lights had come on before she finally arrived. Alfie stood expectantly when she approached the front door. “Can I help you?” she asked, looking at him blankly. Alfie began to cry, and when his confused mother gave him an awkward pat and offered to call his mum for him, Alfie ran away. Later, he returned but found himself locked out. He was forced to spend the night shivering in the garden shed. The next day everyone knew him again, but it left Alfie with a creepy disassociated feeling. This feeling only increased when, within the same week, the Owens were visited by strangers who called themselves muggle liaisons.

To make a long story short, and to dispense with several unsuccessful attempts to convince them, Alfie and his family were eventually forced to accept the following hard truths:

• Magic was real.
• Alfie was a wizard.
• Alfie was also something called a metamorphmagus, which meant that all the glitches in his appearance was something he was doing, though inexpertly and possibly even illegally.
• That if he didn’t get his talent under control, he would be in a lot of trouble.
• That the only thing for it was proper training at a proper wizard school
• They even had some scheme to help them pay for it. So no excuses.
• Also, that it was mad that they didn’t know all this already.

The confusion about that last bit was cleared up eventually. Alfie’s mother was Ms. C. Owen, and not the Mrs. G. Owen who had been talking to a previous liaison. Mrs. G. Owen was Alfie’s grandmother who apparently wasn’t a nutter after all. Even the crazy story his nain’s family had passed down about being descended from a seal woman apparently contained a grain of truth. The liaisons thought it was completely possible to have a witch of some kind way back in Alfie’s mother’s family.

"Your son’s gift is hereditary and only presents in magical bloodlines. The maternal gene may be weak, given how long you say it’s been since anyone in the family has presented as magical. The boy’s father is almost certainly the greater influence. We would expect a full wizard, if not a metamorphmagus himself. It would be helpful if we could identify him. Are you certain you can't tell us anything more? He would undoubtedly be registered with the Spanish Ministry, but without a surname—”

In the end, it was decided that tracking down Alfie’s father wasn’t necessary. He would receive magical guidance for his meta issues soon enough at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Important Dates In Alfie’s Life:

• 7 Jun 2015: Alfie’s birth
• Early Aug 2021: First Instance of Magic (Pinocchio nose) The change was not witnessed by muggles but was recorded in the Book of Acceptance.

Character Backstory: Back in the Early 2000's Arduino's mother migrated to the UK from her hometown of Padua, Italy, to be with her husband whom she fell in love with during college. While their home was always full of love and energy, money was never in large supply, so they ended up living in council housing from very early on.

That didn't stop his mother from popping out five kids, with Deeno being the one smack dab in the middle.

Celestina
Mateo
Arduino
Tino (Antonio) (twin)
Tati (Tatiana) (twin)

He never really had anything of his own growing up. Hand me downs to giving up his own things as the kids grew up, but he didn't really mind. The amount of Love they all shared for one another smothered out his resentment for lack of attention over all, as his Siblings were more than happy to do anything with him. Unfortunately this has led him to having very few friends his own age, as his siblings have 99.8% of his attention.

He would consider himself an average kid with a love of roller skates and slime, and does his best to keep good grades to atleast grab the title of 'smartest' child so far.

Now that he's been invited to Hogwarts, he *finally* feels special among all of the other children and has been humble bragging about it, making promises to show his siblings so many cool things when he comes back!

First Instance of Magic: Deeno was around 6 years old when he had his first instance of magic.

He and his 4 siblings were all lounging around the house in Romford,London being being babysat by the eldest, Celestina. While the oldest two were Playing Mario cart, he was entertaining the two baby twins, Tino and Tati, on top of his bunkbed.

Why were they up there? Well, that's because Celestina and Mateo knew they couldn't get down, and wouldn't bother them with their game!

The bed did not have railings, and after too many peek-a-boos and giggles, Arduino leaned back a little too far and fell right off!

Rather than falling and ended up bruised or with any bumps, he seemed to have just bounced off the floor and into their older siblings that were nearby.

While everyone was okay, no one knew how they managed to bounce 10 feet across the room. All the siblings (who could speak) agreed not to talk about it, ever.

Character Backstory:

Reducio

Núria (Rhea) was born on November 2nd of 2014 in Barcelona, Spain to Aniol Serra-Alsius and Laia Ona Coromines-Masdevall on what could only be described as a dreary day.
Her parents had adored her from the start, though perhaps one more intrigued about who this small being might turn out to be. And though Aniol and Laia could never tell, they certainly played a role in how mistrustful she grew to be.
For the first six years of her life she was happily raised in Barcelona by her two loving parents and a whole host of relatives. Aniol’s relatives {Serra-Alsius} were more distant, shallow at a glance, but that is merely an illusion. They raised him to be proficient at most things save for relations. The Serra-Alsius couple were a quiet pair, viewing Rhea with curious eyes, paired with something she could hardly describe. A mix of weariness, sadness, nostalgia, and heartfelt emotion that Rhea wishes she had a name for. Quite a name it would have to be, indeed.
The Coromines-Masdevall family, on the other hand, were a loving, albeit rowdy, lot. She would never want to try and count the cousins, knowing there would always be some sick, or another one on the way. Laia had four sisters and a lonesome brother, almost all married with at least one kid. {The Coromines family will remain unnamed at this time, too many Spanish/Catalan names I don't wanna come up with/find.}
In September of 2021 {Rhea age 6} the Serra-Coromines promptly started packing for England after a hurried visit from her paternal grandparents. Rhea was never told why they abruptly moved, save for thinly veiled excuses about ‘job opportunities’ and ‘change in scenery’. It’s a far away memory in her mind now, with her only remembering the fact that they moved, and a lot of fragmented memories of Barcelona. Spain was only an origin point for the wandering Catalan girl. England was the next stop, not the destination by any means. The world feared she was just getting started.
Núria and her parents moved to Santon Downham, a village and civil parish located in Suffolk, England, nestled within Thetford Forest on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. Of course, Núria had no clue what any of that meant other than new, scary, and village. For the first while they stayed in an unassuming tent just in the forest, claiming to the locals they were just camping through the countryside. Of course, they were planning for a much longer stay indeed.
During the few weeks it took them to pack up and leave Barcelona, construction plans had started on a house just into the woods near the small village. Aniol and Laia took some creative liberties and helped in the architectural design even amidst the rush and stress of quickly relocating. Some poor local muggles had their memories altered slightly to accommodate for the new surprise of a house showing up just on the outskirts. There were also a heavy amount of concealment charms placed around the house so it was avoided by the majority of the village's muggle populace.
Santon Downham was a place where Rhea’s lonely anti-social tendencies flourished. She had social skills, yes, but her want for solitude was only encouraged by her parents, even if not consciously. Her father fancied himself to be a sort of scholar or poet. He also had a tendency towards Defense Against the Dark Arts, which likely prompted his becoming an Auror. Rhea’s mother, on the other hand, was a seamstress. Often Laia would spend hours in her sewing room, humming to herself and sewing. It wasn’t anything special, but it was occasionally heartfelt and loving, if lonely.
The matter of Rhea’s schooling was taken up by both of her parents in turn, her mother teaching her the finer things; music, sewing, and craftsmanship of all sorts, including Rhea’s distraction of choice: woodcarving. Aniol gave Núria the lessons she needed in the more core subjects. Arithmetic, basic history, some science, and a whole abundance of literature. Literature was something Núria and her father bonded over, even through their different levels of understanding. Perhaps because of it. Aniol also taught his daughter her fair share of muggle culture, however varying it was. Despite loving solitude himself, he understood that Rhea could not be holed up in the nest of their home forever. She would need to make friends with the other kids in the village and, eventually, Hogwarts. That would still be for a while, of course, so he didn’t worry too much.
Another way Rhea spent her solitude was through teaching herself piano. Her mother had taught the basics that she herself had learned as a young girl, but Núria pursued it further. A year or two after moving to England they had acquired a grand piano for their rather sparse living room. The whole house was rather sparse, actually, save for their rooms and spaces in which their distractions of choice were practiced. Núria became quite good at her craft, her long practice sessions serving as background music to the saddened lives her family lived out. She was partial to the more difficult pieces, seeking a challenge where everything was only a matter of time.
Magic had been introduced into Núria’s life a mere few months after leaving Spain, prompting many a long lecture from her father about magical theory and keeping a hold of her emotions so she wouldn’t break anything.

why they actually moved (for index purposes !): The family of Rhea's godfather (Ferran Tallaferro! rip) started suspecting Aniol (her father) of having murdered Ferran, and continued to show up at their old house demanding him to say he did it even though he didn't. While Aniol was quite suspicious, and a main suspect, Ferran's death was actually due to a horribly failed apparation.
First Instance of Magic: I love writing little Rhea<3

Reducio

Soon after moving into their new house, Núria had her first instance of magic. It was early morning, and Rhea was still wandering about the house and poking at her nose. Her father, Aniol, had told her the story of Pinocchio the night prior, prompting Rhea to obsessively try to tell the truth and nothing besides it, so as to keep her nose the normal shape. Her father was standing in the kitchen, presumably making breakfast with the windows open, letting in fresh air and birdsong. Unreasonably picturesque, but six-year-old Núria just stomped right in and demanded answers. Odd answers, from the view of her father, but answers nonetheless. She had passed her mother in the hall that morning, to which she was greeted with 'good morning, Núria' and a smile.
But was it really a good morning? How could her mother tell?
"Papa, is it actually a good morning for everyone? Or do people just say that to be nice?"
"Well, I suppose that is up to you. Are you having a good morning?"
"No." Rhea said it quite resolutely, even though she knew it was wrong. A petty child, if her father ever knew one.
Aniol crouched down in front of her, ruffling her hair before poking her... nose? Núria went a little cross eyed. Surely her nose was not that long! Her hands went up to poke and bat at it, wondering if the tale she was told last night was actually true. But after looking bewildered at her father, it had dissapeared back to normal.
"Papa, I think I'm dreaming. Wake me up when things are less wacky."
