This one is completely random... I got the idea when walking up the stairs.
This is why I got into fanfiction.
Wow, so inspiring, right?
All of this literally started with one OC and a bunch of other OC's branching off of that.
Before I got Wattpad, there was an OC story I had been working on for a while. I called it a fanfic, but it was really a fan-made story. It was what my character would be like if I could make my own and have it be in Harry Potter.
Her name, as many of my friends remember, was Serpentine Snith.
Lots of their initial thoughts were that she was a Slytherin, and I got asked that quite a lot, actually. But Serpenti was a bold Gryffindor that really should have been in Ravenclaw, but there were so many complications with that because I needed to intertwine the story with two of my other friends stories. The Story of Rhain Potter and The Story of Lauretta Norris.
That brings me to the long list of OC's that branched from Serpentine.
There was her father, Remington Snith. A charming Gryffindor that somehow ended up as a double time spy for Voldemort and the Ministry. He was killed for betraying the pureblood line when marrying Serpentine's mother. I'll get to her later.
There was her guardian, Daniel Fernsby. The classic pure blood Death Eater and friend of Serpentine's father. He was a loyal friend to Snape, who hated Serpentine's father, but found Serpentine to be much more likable than her father.
Branching off of Daniel was Daniel's enemy, in a sense. Her name was Sebresius Sonnenfeld. Daniel knew that this antagonist figure wanted to kill Serpentine for her fathers actions, and confronted her about it countless times, but she was arrogant. Plus, her daughter, Lauretta Norris, was a good friend of Serpentine's, so she didn't want them drawing apart. She thought that Serpentine would make a beautiful Death Eater for some reason, and it was mentioned that she wanted Serpentine in her care instead of Daniel's because she thought Daniel was brainwashing Serpentine. Plus, Sebresius was the one who captured Serpentine's father and supposedly killed her mother. Serpentine finds this out within a dream, which is the act of Sebresius trying to get in her head and tell her something.
Sebresius' husband was a very flat character. Nicholas Norris, step brother of Argus Filch. The pair split up and that's when Lauretta got placed under permanent custody of Sebresius. Nick was never seen again.
Then there was Serpentine's mother, Seraphina Snith, a muggle or a squib; I couldn't really decide. If she was a witch, she would have been in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.
Her story was a little weird. She had one of the longest backstories of all of the OC's. It starts on the night that Remington was captured. Remington cast a spell on her somehow, similar to the one Lily did with Harry, and that made her live. They discussed the plan over and over again with each other in the days before the Death Eaters raided their home. She would play dead and then flee from the house and find somewhere to stay until the whole thing blew over.
What I didn't get about my adventurous mind always coming up with ideas was that I wrote a story about her later. This wasn't any story, though. It was the story of Seraphina trying to find her daughter. And somehow she had magic? I have no clue what I was thinking at the time, and I would consider that as one of my most crappy fanfic ideas yet.
