[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/kain2.png[/img] Hello students! So, I wonder if any of you are as interested in genealogy as I am? It's almost like a puzzle, seeing how all our ancestors fit together to create us! I'm curious as to what your parents look like? Do they look like you, or did you acquire some strange genes on the way? Are you adopted or taken care of by an older sibling? Let's have a special family picnic where your caregivers can come and spend the day on the Hogwarts grounds with you!

This weeks theme is Parents Day

Some rules for this challenge: 1.) Dress as your characters parents or caregivers! 2.) Only one HA is required, though you may post more if you like 3.) Bonus: List a few similarities and differences between you and your caregiver!

This contest will end Monday, May 16th at 11:59PM Subeta time!

Magnus Lee is an orphan or was rather. He was found in a pram at night by a police officer. The infant was named Magnus as they found a blanket with the name embrodered on it. After he was attacked at age 9 by a werewolf he lived at Saint Mungos for almost a year until the Lees adopted him.

Stella and Bartley Lee

The Lees, who were both in Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, are inquisitive people that loving learning--which their adopted son loves as well. Bartley is a lot more serious than Magnus is, most of the time but he does like a good joke. Stella taught Magnus to fly a broom. She's got natural talent and even played professionally. Magnus is good at flying too, finding his mother's instructions easy to follow though he is not as good as she is. Magnus is adept at potions, which is another thing he shares with his new father though he did not learn the ability from Bartley.

Millie's mother, Greta Beck Tudor. She is a German born Muggle who runs her own bakery in London. She bakes both Muggle and Wizard goods. In order to buy Wizard treats from her, one must give the secret code word so that Muggles will not find out about the Magical World. Greta passed on her love of baking to her daughter. She is fluent in German, French, and English. She would like Millie to take over her bakery when she is old enough but she understands baking is only a hobby of Millie's. Millie is pretty much a carbon copy of her mother, except for her dark brown hair.

Millie's father, Andrew Tudor. He he a full blood Wizard who attended Hogwarts and was in Ravenclaw House. He now works for St Mungo's Hospital on the Second Floor - Magical Bugs and Diseases. He passed on his love of learning and is also fluent in English, French, German, and Latin, which he encouraged Millie to learn as well. He would like to see her become a healer because of her personality and intelligence but he also knows she would make an excellent member of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Millie has his father's dark brown hair

(( I know right? lol I was all like "ooh I can manage this today since they are all saved" ))

Max´s godfather Brian.

He works as an officer for the LAPD. Max and him share a strong sense of justice and their love for cars. Max can be impulsive Brian is rather calm. Brian didn´t know anything about the world of wizards until Maxs acceptance letter arrived. It was quiet a shock. He adopted Max at the age of 10.

Max O´Conner/Slytherin

Stuart and Francoise Blackwood

Stuart is a chairperson of the International Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee. He is easygoing and adventurous. Francoise is an opera singer. She is meticulous and dramatic. Poppy shares her father's love of Quidditch and her mother's love of the arts. Her parents are both avid Wizard's Chess players, which Poppy finds incredibly dull.

Poppy, Slytherin

Sheevan (O'Conner) is Gwen's mom, she is a muggle and married into the Tuddlemore family. She knew nothing about magic until she met Issac. She is very down-to-earth and would rather be outside in her garden than dressing fancy. Gwen got a lot of her mom in her; because her mom is a muggle Gwen learned how to do a lot of stuff without magic. She loves learning about growing herbs and flowers from her mom - Sheevan says singing to the flowers is the same as magic.

Issac Tuddlemore is Gwen's dad, he is a pure blood wizard. He was a very social man as a youngster and wanted to travel the world before settling down with a family. He went all over learning about all the different animals/creatures in their natural habitat. It was when he was in Ireland that he met Sheevan... but that is a story for another time. He passed on his lover for animals/creatures to his daughter, every year they go to a new place during the summer to see different ones.

Physically Gwen's parents both have the brown hair and blue eyes that she inherited... She looks a lot like her parents actually.

Katsumi's parents are Saul and Rei Mattrick. Saul is a British anthropologist and a proud Hufflepuff. Katsumi gets her sharp grey eyes and love of history from him. Rei is a Japanese half-blood, and attended Mahoutokoro for her wizarding education. Her own father was a Muggle and worked with early computers, as does Rei, and Katsumi learned an appreciation for Muggle ways in general and computers in particular from her mother. Katsumi's sense of style comes primarily from Rei as well, and she has a fondness for traditional Japanese clothing among other things. Both parents are intelligent, as is Katsumi. However her father is very open about his feelings, laughing easily and smiling a great deal, and she is very reserved. She's far more judgmental than either parent, though her father in particular has a similar sense of fairness.

Katsumi, Ravenclaw

Both father and daughter share a love for the outdoors although she is not that keen on horse riding.

Mother and daughter share a love of cooking and good home-made cuisine.

Lapis Lazuli's parents are Jasper Lazuli and Gemma Lazuli (née Stone). Jasper is an auror. He was sorted into Gryffindor House and is very well traveled, having studied abroad at Ilvermorney and acted as a temporary instructor in Defense Against the Dark Arts in Durmstrang. Gemma is from Hufflepuff House and is a well known herbologist, specializing in the cross breeding of magical plants.

The most resounding difference between Lapis and her parents is that she was immediately and definitively sorted into Ravenclaw. Very few witches and wizards are sorted into a different house than at least one parent. Both of her parents are also much ore outgoing than Lapis. Her mother is genuinely warm and friendly while her father is somewhat rakish and dry-witted. Neither of them quite understand their daughter's stand-offish nature.

Lapis inherited her piercing eye color from Jasper and her general looks from Gemma. She also shares her father's odd love of floral desserts, perhaps because they are a specialty her mother likes to dabble in in her spare time. Gemma's keen interest in experiments and proving theories is definitely a trait that passed to her daughter. Although Lapis' interests lie more in the realm of runes and theoretical knowledge, her desire to test the boundaries of the unknown definitely comes from her equally inquisitive, albeit more practically minded, mother.

Isabelle and Caerwyn Jones.

Aderyn gets her fair hair and complexion, as well as her freckles, from her mother's (fae) side of the family. She's taller, however, which she gets from her father.

Maggie and Nathan Grant Sam's mom Maggie is a California witch of Russian descent. She is a notable herbalist and potion maker, but has few other magical abilities and is terrified of flying. Sam's dad Nathan is a Parselmouth and an expert in many languages both human and non-human. As a Goblin-Wizard liaison for Gringotts bank, he has worked with goblins for so long that some of his human social skills are a bit lacking. He can be harsh and quick to judge, but he dotes on his only daughter.

Sam definitely inherited her mother's eyes, and her father's ability to speak with snakes. The rest of her features are a blend of both parents. Her sometimes dangerously reckless streak, however, leaves both parents confounded, and blame is often laid at Nathan's great-great-great (?) grandfather, who barely escaped the muggle witchcraft trials of the 1600s.

Jean-Pierre and Patricia Kerian

Mae's father passed away, he was an History researcher and shared this passion with her. Mae's mother works with young children. Both are muggleborns.

Laurig Kerian is Mae's older sister, she's a Beauxbatons graduate and now a pshychomagus.

Yes all the family wears glasses.

Ilynna and Elric Belcrox are the parents of Megan Alodia Belcrox. Ilynna used to be a singer for a Muggle group called The Wildcats (not a popular group, mainly known in pubs) and Elric is a healer at St. Mungo's as well as an adviser to the Ministry of Magic in the area of plants should any of the Departments have inquiries about unknown plants. Ilynna and Megan both share a passion of cats, and physically they have the same red hair and green eyes. Megan shares a joy and fascination for plants with her father and anytime she hits a block she writes to him to ask for his knowledge.

Megan is very close with both her parents and they are very proud of how far she's come in her studies.

She prefers more color in her outfits, unlike her mother who usually wears black or grey(sometimes with a splash of color). Personality wise, Ravenna is more like her father, who is quiet and kind and loves plants and animals.

Reminder this ends tonight!

Emily Joelle is the daughter of Jane Elliot and Matthew McFlare. Matthew, Matt for friends, comes from Scotland and works as a primary in a London hospital. Is not a magician, is not a Muggle. Matt is a Lector Aurae, a person able to see and recognize the different auras of people. This rare ability helps him a lot in his medical work, 'couse is more able to recognize diseases than other doctors don't identify. To make a surprise to his daughter today toosk to Emily her beloved Blondie, a Golden Retriever!

Jane is a londoner Half-Blood sorted Gryffindor. When she was young she left her medical training to follow his great passion, the magic painting! She has become one of the most famous painters of the magical world, it's said that the headmaster McGonagall asked to her to paint her portrait. She's a very eccentricand nonconformist woman, loves the colors, especially purple and blue. Influenced by the skill of her husband she began to paint the characters in her paintings with an aura, this has become the element that distinguishes her art.

Emily Joelle inherited her mother's eyes and she also loves painting. However, the greatest legacy comes from her father. In fact, she can feel the aura of those around her, although much less defined than the father. This makes her the first Lector with magical powers in history!

P.S. The story of the Lectoris Aurarum (latin plural of Lector Aurae) it's a mine invention. I have introduced this element in my fanfiction, and has had much success so I wanted to add it in this little story. I hope it''s not a problem since it's not an "official" element of the Harry Potter world.
