1961-2026 (or not???)

Ignatious has led a long and deceitful life. His youth was influenced heavily by his own parents, and the hierarchy of the family as the Heir of his generation. His education began in Durmstrang where he thrived beyond belief. He [REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

After a few years where he traveled to gather as much knowledge as he could, both dark and ancient, he [REDACTED]. Following this, and with his own father's persistence, he decided it was time to have his own Heir. He and his wife Morgana ended up with three children; Jaron, Dean, and Adelaide.

[REDACTED]

[REDACTED]

To this day he genuinely believes he is the best Heir the family has ever seen, and has returned with the main goal of leading the family his way at the forefront of nearly everything he does.

1987-2026

Jaron was born as the eldest son to Morgana and Ignatious ll, with a younger brother and sister, Dean and Adelaide. He entered into Hogwarts as a young boy and to no ones surprise he was sorted into Slytherin. A years later his brother was sorted into Ravenclaw, something their father did not take lightly due to the fact that Protectors were never permitted to be too far away. Jaron didn't seem to mind this separation from his brother, in fact he encouraged Dean to seek out his own path regardless of their father's rage. This, more than anything, brought the brothers closer. 

It was soon proven that Jaron did not need a younger brother to act as his protector, he was able to take care of himself and when he couldn't, a new love interest of his own was all too pleased to put people in their place when they deserved it. He met Mary Smythe on the boats during the trip to their sorting ceremony, but it wasn't until his third year that he got to know her a little more when Dean introduced them after telling his big brother that he had a crush on his female housemate.

Nothing came from either of the boys feelings towards Mary until their fourth and third years when both were interested in dating her. Jaron assumed she would choose Dean, he was free, he was more interesting, creative, and was a housemate. Dean assumed she would choose Jaron, he was the heir after all, important and proper. She surprised them both and chose another boy, a Gryffindor boy. It didn't last longer than a few months, especially when Mary found out he wished to play the field while dating her.

The next year was miserable, on top of his school work and training with his father, he had to watch his brother spending time with the woman he wanted all to himself. So the summer that Mary finally came to stay, he made every attempt he could to turn her focus to him, and eventually it worked. He hurt his brother deeply, and he knew he did and regretted it, but he couldn't help how he felt.

Jaron and Mary dated through the rest of their years at school, and they weren't out of school long before they were married and were pregnant with their first born. Together they raised several more children, with their lives focused primarily on running the family business, and taking care of their kids.

Unfortunately, in the summer of 2026, a vicious fiendfyre ripped through Shadowgrove Manor and took out most of the Estate Grounds, taking Jaron's life along with it. It is believed that his father was also lost to the same inferno.

1987-

Mary Smythe was first introduced to the Ashworths on her first night at Hogwarts, sharing a boat to the school with Jaron and chatted while heading into the sorting. She found him self-assured and arrogant, but there was a mischief that she liked, but, as they were sorted to other houses, they never really had a chance to continue that relationship, at least, not until their 3rd year, when she caught both Jaron and Dean's eyes. 

Dean, being a house mate, became a good friend, she would often be found sitting with him in the great hall or working on homework together in the library, and would join him when hanging out with his brother Jaron.  

In her fourth year, she surprised both of them by going to the Yule ball with a Gryffindor name Nicolai Tweedbottom. Nicolai was a 5th year and was a chaser on the house team. She remained dating him for only a couple months, ending it rather explosively, when it came out that Nicolai was more interested in how many girls he could make out with and date before he ended his time in Hogwarts. 

After that, Mary started to date Dean, allowing her friend to console her and be the gentle man that Nicolai failed to be. They dated  for the rest of the year, and even spent the majority of summer break at the Shadowgrove Manor located on the Ashworth Estate. During that summer, Jaron took as much time as possible to catch her alone and spend time with her, and by the time they returned to Hogwarts in the fall, Jaron and Mary were madly in love, leaving poor Dean heartbroken. 

After school, Mary and Jaron were engaged, he did not want to run the risk of anyone scooping her up from him. It was not long before they were married and they were having their first child, from then, it seemed like Mary was pregnant more often than not, and yet, she never hired a nanny, determined that she would raise all of her children herself, while still maintaining her social obligations as the Wife of the Heir and soon to be Head of the Ashworth family. If you were anyone in the wizarding world, than you knew Mary Ashworth.

Mary is known for being warm and friendly, affectionately devoted to her family and fiercely protective of her children. She is not afraid of holding a firm hand when necessary and it was her guidance that assisted her husbands success, not only with their family, but also their business.

More recently, when Mary is not raising the youngest of her children, or assisting with her first two grandsons or granddaughter, she can be seen spending time with Domenico Dimateo, Jaron's business partner, and longtime family friend.

2006-

The eldest son to Mary and Jaron, and the heir to the family riches and dynasty, Tragen (Jaron) was sorted into Slytherin and quickly earned the reputation as the more proper son, the responsible one, and the one addicted to animals and creatures of all sorts. His time at school was fairly normal, he had friends and enemies, and made some rather personal discoveries while living within the walls of Hogwarts Castle. 

He left school in his sixth year to travel, to reconnect to Ignatious, and to pick up new skills that books and classrooms could not give him, hands on skills with creatures. This led to him opening his own Magical Creature reserve with Ignatious at his side. It is set to open in April of 2027, but with a grand opening event later in the summer. 

During it all, he also had to cope with being the eldest, which for him meant the one who had to lead his other siblings and accept leadership of the family from his father and begin a whole new kind of training. 

These days, with his own new family beginning to grow, he began focusing less and less on the family business and even the reserve, giving his new twins Leander and Christian, and his fiance Keeley, all the attention he can.

2006-

Ignatious (Leander) was also sorted into Slytherin house, and he became the last in his direct family line to do so despite the families claims that they are primarily full of Slytherins and Ravenclaws. He is known for being very flirtatious, and alluring at times, always with some kind of pick up line tucked up his sleeve. 

Being the second born in the family instantly placed Ignatious in the role of Protector to the Heir, a role he took seriously even from an early age. Unfortunately, no one could see it coming that the roles of Heir and Protector would gradually create a wedge between the two eldest. 

Ignatious became the first of all his siblings to be granted the honor of a Hogwarts Prefect, something he treasures to this day despite having left school with Tragen at 16 to travel and become a co-owner to the reserve.

These days, he is usually found working at the reserve or making his way in and out of the Ministry of Magic after having recently taken up their father's position in the Wizengamot as it's youngest member ever to join. 

For a while, Ignatious could be heard complaining that he lost the love of his life, Persephone Vitrac, but it would seen that she wasn't the only woman that made him turn his head, as his betrothed stepped back into his life. It would seem though, regardless to the fact he is technically taken (or claimed) he continues to have feelings for a young man by the name of Casey Nolan, Ignatious' best friend throughout all of his years in Hogwarts.

With several different love connections and triangles falling apart for this Ashworth, he also found himself deeply interested in Anahid, the Head Keeper at the Reserve/Preserve.

2008-

Instantly recognized as the most friendly, playful, sometimes rebellious,  and accepting of all Ashworths in his direct family,  Hale (Gabriel) was sorted into Ravenclaw house. He never pushed for a position such as Prefect or Head Boy, but he does have the bragging rights that he is the first of all his siblings to properly graduate from Hogwarts. While still quite an accomplishment, it doesn't say much for him since there wasn't a lot that he learned at school that could prepare him for his desired future.

Of all the Ashworth children, Hale is the only one who broke away and did something his parents just couldn't wrap their heads around. He graduated with very good O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts, then he joined the circus! 

Le Cirque des Sorcière to be exact. He started there working as a vendor at the popcorn machine, but was soon granted the opportunity to perform for one show. Eventually, he became the apprentice to Adalicia Goddard, who to this day still teaches him new and amazing ways to improve his performances. Hale performs jaw-dropping acts with his soon to be sister-in-law, and circus partner, Charlie Merle.

Hale, his wife Siobhan (who he eloped with), and their daughter Aria live and travel with the circus. For him, it is a dream come true, and every Pureblood mother's worst nightmare. Sorry Mary!

2009-

If three sons are not enough, what about adding a fourth? Logan (Dean) was the fourth son born to Mary and Jaron, and he almost instantly got the reputation as being the most rebellious son of the whole lot. 

This rebellious steak seemed to follow him right to Hogwarts as well as he became the first son in their entire family line to be sorted into Hufflepuff. 

Having graduated, Logan finally began to work full time with Tragen and Ignatious at their reserve, though he primarily works at the main location in Shoeburyness. Currently, he volunteers there during school breaks and holidays, with a primary focus on creature rescue and welfare.

Against his parents wishes, he became engaged to Charlie Merle, a former Prefect and Qudiditch Captain for Gryffindor, before his own graduation. They had become more accepting of the engagement since, especially since the couple gave them little choice.

2010-

Miracles can happen if you wait long enough, and many thought that the first born daughter was going to be exactly that, a miracle. Boy were they wrong!

Verity (Constance) was born five minutes before her twin, Julian (Tristian), she too was sorted into Hufflepuff along with Julian to join Logan. Many were surprised by her ending up in the house known for loyalty, but perhaps that was exactly why she ended up there? To this day, she claims that she wanted to be in Hufflepuff House, especially since her twin had been sorted there just before her.

Verity has a rather interesting reputation within the family and at school. She is the second in her family to be granted the honor of holding the role of Hogwarts Prefect, and despite this she is often times seen as ruthless and manipulative. It is not uncommon to see her batting her lashes or sticking out her bottom lip in a faux pout to get her way, whether it is with professors, or boys, even though she is betrothed to Harley Eriksen, a young man who went missing in the summer of 2026 when the Ashworth Estate was set on fire, causing the death of Jaron Ashworth and the suspected death of her grandfather, Ignatious ll.

On the other hand, Julian is quiet and can be very sweet. For the longest time he was hidden within his sister's shadow, and it took a lot of convincing from friends and family before he finally stepped out and became more of his own person, and even earned the role of Prefect as well, working along side Verity and the other Prefects. On the side, he could easily be found in the library or a quiet corridor working on one of his many stories, he dreams of becoming a writer.

Julian missed out on a lot of time at school when he was withdrawn by his parents just before he spent over a year at St Mungos as a patient in Ward 49, more commonly known as the Janus Thickey Ward.  Now the boy is back at school for his sixth year, looking forward to finish school with his twin, hopefully with little to no drama.

2011-

The secret son, the one that most of the extended family are completely unaware of, the one that only the most trusted know about, the one that was born into the family and despite having grown up with some of his siblings, became a distant memory to many of them, while others were left believing he had merely been a childhood friend and nothing more. He seemed to vanish when he was about seven years old. The younger kids never thought to ask why, and the older ones were convinced it was nothing to worry about.

In reality, Cerin (James) is the actual seventh born child to Mary and Jaron, but he never showed any sign of magic throughout his entire life, especially when he was of the age where it was most commonly seen. Grandpa (Ignatious ll), a man known for being a cruel and snobbish elitist,  did not like the idea of a Squib being in the family, so he wanted to remove Cerin from the family all together. 

Mary, being the bold and protective mother she is, fought this idea with her husband's support until it died out and instead Cerin was sent off to one of the most prestigious private schools for Muggles. He was still given the best of everything, but he was also kept a secret from his siblings and hidden from his grandfather for his own protection.

Tragen and Ignatious had learned (or been reminded) about his existence shortly before Tragen accepted leadership of the family from his father, and one of the first things Traden did upon accepting leadership, was bring his younger brother out of hiding, and now the Squib Ashworth can be spotted in family photos and seen around the house during breaks from his own school.

Now, Cerin focuses on forming a Squib-only rock band that his mother is just thrilled about...

2012-

Aleksei (Lucen) came into the family and began causing problems as soon as he was able to. From a very, very young age he was seen as completely uncontrollable and nothing Mary or Jaron did seemed to get a handle on their new son, or lessen the amount of energy that filled him. In his youth they put him through as many activities as possible, both within the wizarding world and the muggle world to help burn off some of his energy, and only muggle Martial Arts put any kind of dent in the absurd amount of energy in one boy. 

He learned many different styles of Martial Arts, but the ones he focuses a bit more heavily on are Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai. Over the years he also learned muggle Parkour and uses it often to try to escape his mother, and it works, at least until she bring out her wand.

Aleksei has always been very outspoken and wild, a complete troublemaker and prankster, with the majority of his pranks involving Stinksap. It has always been a nightmare for his family to deal with him, and it only got worse as he got older and realized he had a gift for commanding trouble. 

Surprisingly, Aleksei was sorted into Gryffindor house, the first in his entire family line to enter into the house of the Lion. There was a brief time before he entered school where his parents seriously considered homeschooling him to keep Hogwarts safe and whole, but in the end they knew they couldn't deny him the experiences and education that Hogwarts has to offer.

This wild child has a few prized possessions, but nothing in the entire world is as important to him as Bruiser is, his red Pygmy Puff that he cares for and shows affection towards in a way that his family has never seen from him.

2013-

Drayan (Kamus), otherwise known as Deeks or DK. Is one of the quietest members of the Ashworth family. Not many people ever really know what is going on in that mind of his. He is closest to Aleksei of all other family members, with his older brother Julian as his top role model. 

There is nothing that Deeks loves more than researching something, reading a good book, or composing for Aleksei.  He despises being on the spot, and does not like to speak publicly. Deeks is the mastermind to the majority of Lex's pranks and mischief. This sweet, quiet boy has a dark streak that only Lex understands. 

For first eight years, he was the beloved baby of the family, Mary is often heard saying how much of a joy he was, that he rarely cried, and he would always listen first time.

Drayan is having a hard time at school now that his elder brother Hale was no longer in the Ravenclaw house with him, he has closed himself off a little more than normal, hiding away in the Library or Music room so as to avoid having to be social, at least, until Lex or his sister drag him out with threats against the  precious books.

2023-

Rein (Lurian Fahren) is the only natural blond of the Ashworth children, and easily one of the most adored and beloved. At only 4 years old, he has won over even the most jaded family members and acquaintances. 

He is making the most of being the only child in the house  and fully monopolize on his mothers attention.  He is already showing his rainbow side, as she is starting to find him sneaking cloths out of his mothers, or his sisters closets. 

Rein is  pure sunshine, and can melt a heart with one smile of his dimpled cheeks.

2026-

Leander (Jaron) and Christian (Kore) were born in July of 2026. Leander, named after his uncle and grandfather, was born at 6:22 pm, and Christian Kore, named after godmother Persephone Vitrac, was born at 6:46 pm. 

Once the boys got moving, it became very difficult to get them to stop! Especially once Christian was able to keep up with his older twin brother.

Leander is a total go-getter, he is all over the place, very playful and excitable. He almost always has a smile on his face and a little giggle that melts most hearts. There are jokes among family that naming him after his uncle has already committed him to a life of passion, drama, and heartbreak, but time will tell.

Christian is more shy when compared to his brother, but some family members have already sensed a little bit of mischief within him. Who knows how long it will take to really come out? Maybe he'll turn out to be one of the more normal Ashworth's of the bunch.

Son's of Tragen and Keeley

Godmother: Persephone Vitrac

2026-

Just in time for teatime! Born 3:45 on August 5th 2027, Aria (Charlotte), named after direct ancestor Aria Ashworth, the original matriarch of the family , as well as Charlie Merle, godmother and Circus Partner to Hale, couldn't wait to get moving!  

It's no surprise to see this little one already following in her father's footsteps of loving any and all physical activities that involve her hanging or dangling from something that moves.

There are many debates between Hale and Siobhan on whether or not it is a safe idea to let Aria continue, but it's a challenge just to get her to stop. No one yet knows what kind of witch Aria will grow up to be, but at least they know she'll be an expert performer when it comes to the circus life!

Daughter of Hale & Siobhan

Godparents: Charlie Merle, Logan Ashworth
