| .. | ![]() Fig. 18 ✦ The subject at age four. Picture taken in October, 2017. |
✦ The subject was born to Kaavya de Silva and Ambrose Argentum, a muggle-born witch and a pureblood wizard. The Argentum family was a powerful wizarding clan, known for their prominence in academia. Of pureblood heritage and a looming reputation, they were revered in the Wizarding World; Ambrose and his siblings had a comfortable childhood of incredibly high expectations. All flourished into exceptional careers. Kaavya, by contrast, was estranged from her muggle family, living independently as young as she could. They did not accept her exceptional capabilities as a witch and, out of confusion and fear, shunned her until she had no option but to seek emancipation. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she was swiftly welcomed as an Argentum. .......... |
... |
| ... | Both Dr and Dr Argentum continued the family legacy by going into study and pioneered new magical research. Thus, the subject's family history was also both privilege and pressure. They were raised in an enviable estate, surrounded by books and stained glass. An only child, expected to excel, and bearing the quiet disapproval of their half-blood status from their peers. Their relationship with their parents was close, but more akin to a student and professors. Kaavya and Ambrose instilled them with discipline, curiosity and a sharp sense of humour anyhow. Their first instance of magic reflected this, turning a page from a notebook into an airplane out of boredom during one of her father's lessons. |

... | They grew up a lonely but content child, but soon went on to yearn for more outside of the walls of their home. The subject developed a mean streak, skipping their homeschooling, sneaking out at night and dabbling in restricted texts. They were often brought home by the scruff of their neck, followed by a surge of complaints from the groundskeeper, according to accounts. It seemed as though they longed to be free to roam the halls of Hogwarts.
The subject had a far more complex relationship with their paternal grandmother, Vada Argentum. A fearsome advisor for the Ministry of Magic and expert in international magical negotiations. As child, the subject was frequently left in Mrs Argentum's care, and the two developed a strict relationship with daunting expectations. It is unclear how this pressure affected the subject's mental state, nor is it clear whether the relationship was toxic, however accounts points towards mounting tensions between the witches. On their eighteenth birthday, Vada Argentum gifted the subject a silver revolver and bullets (pictured), having been gifted the same from her own mother. After this day, all evidence of communication between the two ceased. ✦ ![]() Fig. 22 ✦ Vada's gift. |

.. | ![]() A House as old as the stars themselves, the Argentums wield a subtle influence in the wizarding world. Despite their research that has changed the landscape of magic as we know it, this family's name is only uttered amongst those privy to their power. Some work behind the scenes in the Ministry, whispering into the ears of politicians - ghostwriters, it is said, while others wager more is at play. The clan keep close ranks and sacred traditions, passing on knowledge to their youth so that they may continue their legacy. On the coming of age of each child, they recite the following maxim. "Per astra discimus; super terram regnamus, argento mentis, auro cordis, animae transmutatione." |

"Oh, it's evil, babe / The way you let your grace enrapture me."
It had been some time since Valour fell into the reprieve of figure skating. She took gracefully to the art of dance, but always felt somewhat like a beached whale, frustrated by the limitations of dry land. To glide upon ice, drifting away like the tide, felt inexplicably right. From skating hand in hand with her parents as a child, to glimmering across the rink alone, skating was once but a hobby to the young heir. It was as her artistic obsessions grew and her desire to perfect the arts infected her mind when they realised their skill was a gold mine. Valour haunted the ice-rink day and night, a fixation that came second only to her violin. All of that blood and sweat boiled down to one fateful day, when they missed the landing of a jump. Everyone in the hall remembered the crack. The blood and the tears.
And now, the decorated artist was back on the ice. Like a prophet walking on water, Valour found her place before the judges. She came to win - naturally - but there were personal stakes at hand. These people did not matter. Valour bowed deeply, arms outstretched by her sides, before rising once more to face the sight before her. Pale, unfamiliar faces of their spectators, curious eyes studying every inch of them. Their poise, their costume, and each hair out of place. They simply lifted their chin up higher, a bitter dying dream lingering in their chest.
The piano began with a perfect abruptness. Sharp dissonant chords and a crooning voice permeating their air as the witch cracked into position with rehearsed precision. Fiona Apple was an unusual choice, but one they hoped would be memorable. They paid no reverence to meaningless traditions and uninspiring classical pieces. Not when it came to craftsmanship like dance. Their movements stretched out from their chest and towards the sky, brooding, angular and unorthodox. Her expressions were a housefire of emotion, scowling out to their anticipating audience with an intense stare. As though each movement was a motif on manuscript paper, her skates cut deep, jagged scores across the plains before them as they swayed and preened. The lyrics murmured a tragic, possessive story, and Valour did all they possibly could to grip and strangle their onlookers with their sheer elegance. Wand in hand, she whispered an incantation that would hopefully fall upon deaf ears but cause quite the shock. "Periculum."
As the song started to crescendo, Valour sucked in a deep breath and cleared their mind. Despite their wild and unruly dancing, the inner workings of their brain could not have been more still. The jump that had ended it all. A triple axel should be child’s play for someone competing in the International Magical Olympic Games, and yet, the taste of bile in their mouth said otherwise. Nevertheless, she continued to push it down and keep praying, arms tucked into her chest as she felt her blades grace the air.
"When well you know I'd be insane / To ever let that dirty game recapture me."
