Nymphadora Black is the daughter of an unexpected union. Her father was a registered wix infiltrating the underground while her mother was an unregistered rebel spying on the Muggles’ wix agents. They were never supposed to fall in love; as far as each know, the other never did, and was merely trying to cajole information from a target. Edward doesn’t even know he has a daughter; he thinks Andromeda vanished to avoid arrest, not to hide a pregnancy. It was Andromeda’s little sister who convinced her to have the baby, thinking that they might someday find it valuable to have something like that to hold over a government agent’s head.
Born as little more than a potential bargaining chip, Nymphadora surprised everyone by proving to have so much value as a spy herself.
That isn’t usually a skill one inherits, no matter how talented at spying one’s parents are, because it ought to be a matter of training not birth – but Nymphadora is a Metamorphmagus, which makes her ideally suited to conceal her own identity and even imitate others. It didn’t take much tutelage at her mother’s knee for her to hone those talents to their highest degree, and she started participating in anti-Muggle activities at a young age despite Andromeda’s fears (just as she had with Ted, she found herself caring about her “little insurance policy” a great deal more than she’d intended). She’s never been involved in anything as dangerous as her current role, however: completely taking-over the life of a rookie agent of the Unnatural Intelligence Department. It’s been surprisingly easy – even fun at times – to impersonate Colin Creevey, which sometimes worries Nymphadora because it makes her forget the danger. She has to remind herself that the friends she’s made aren’t really herfriends, and probably won’t have her back if they discover the truth. She wonders if her dad will, if she ever has to play the last-ditch card of telling him who she is…
჻ CHARACTER TIES
OLIVER WOOD | THE BEST OF BROS Oliver was Colin’s best friend, or work friend, or something. Nymphadora figured this out the first day on the job and has made sure to invite Oliver to the pub no less than six times since then. In some ways now, he’s more her friend than Colin’s…isn’t he?
PERCY WEASLEY | CRASH AND CLATTER it all went downhill when Nymphadora – wearing Colin’s face of course – visited his office. Or, more accurately, it all damn well shattered. Nymphadora is still pretending she totally didn’t do that but she’s pretty sure Percy doesn’t believe herColin.
REMUS LUPIN | MANTHER HUNTING the only thing weirder than walking in on your older cousin experimenting with doggy style at sixteen is realizing ten years later that you wouldn’t mind chasing that wolf yourself, so to speak. Too bad he seems more than a little interested in running twice as fast whenever Nymphadora comes around. Good thing she’s fast!
i won’t be writing anything that involves the sad deaths in hp bcs imma be crying my ass off while writing that, and i probably won’t be able to finish it so :)
