Background- Text Cut: What a Family Von is the youngest of ten children born to Saint and Sabrina Culpepper. Five Older Sisters, four of whom are Quadruplets. His Twin sister born a few minutes before him. Who is so fond to remind him on occasion. Then three older brothers. All born without magic...Until him.
Von always felt very neglected by his parents. A couple who have this many kids, and jobs that keep them away from home for as long as his do shouldn't be parents. Politics and Lobbying sound like boring professions to pursue. He would never.
His eldest sister and brother, Marley and Troy were the ones in charge when Mom and Dad were away on business. Marley seemed to fall into the role of being a mother-figure. Troy had power trips and was almost abusive with it. If Marley was around he was less of a threat.
The four Quadruplets, Dakota, Talia, Nora, and Eva. Were all identical, but that was about as similar as they were with each other. Outside of time at home they all had different interests and did whatever they could to stand out over each other to Mom and Dad when they weren't on business trips. Sibling Rivalry quadrupled.
Andre and Jett, his two other brothers. They were just huge jerks. Always bullied him. If it was Troy at home with Andre and Jett around he would find his secret hideaway spot in the Attic and wait it out until Marley or his Twin sister, Vita found him.
His twin, Vita was the only sibling of his who truly seemed to care. He jokes that the doctors must of operated on them as she seems like she wants to be a conjoined twin with him. Which she then says that would be impossible as she was born a whole 8 minutes before him. They did nearly all their activities together. Playing games quietly in the Attic. Practicing the music she liked to play, or work on the paintings he enjoyed making. They both even struggled at Maths together in school.
This family life was the norm for Von for 11 years.
Everyone was home. Celebrating the Birth of Marley's, and her Husband, Walter's first son. It had been at least a month beyond Von's 11th Birthday. Everyone was dotting over baby Abel. Everyone except him, Andre, and Jett. who were doing what Von hated most. See how much mud he could eat until he found a worm and swallowed it whole. They had him pinned down in the backyard feet on his back after a heavy rain and would sometimes force him to eat the mud if he resisted. Only his twin, Vita went looking for him after noticing that the three of them were gone and knew that was not a good sign.
Von would shout and scream for the both of them to get off him. Mouth full of mud, He gave one big breath in and shouted once more as loudly as he could. He felt their feet leave his back sure that they would now just going to beat him up for being so defiant toward their fun. He quickly turned around and continued to watch as they were now screaming in fear as they continued to float further and further up, his mouth ajar. Vita was the first to witness this happen as she had just gotten outside. Watching as her two older brothers ascended until they were now bumping into the big sycamore tree and trying to slow their ascent by grasping for branches, and begging Von to stop what was happening. She ran yelling for help back into the House and everyone came running out. Standing frozen, shocked, confused, and panicking. The only one to finally take any action was Walter who quickly took out a short looking stick. Spoke what sounded like a different language and his two brothers finally, and slowly fell back down to the ground. This only caused more of a commotion as What had Walter just done too? What was going on?
Walter was a Wizard? He too was a Wizard, like Walter?! That's what Walter tried to explain to him in private. Well not so private. Vita would not leave him be either. Marley was not far from earshot either. Holding Abel closely to her chest and giving Walter this untrusting glare.
Von had always thought there would be something that would finally set this unstable family of 12 off. He just didn't think it would be him.
Things had calmed down Von soon shortly after to and extent.
Troy, Andre, and Jett avoided him. Andre and Jett seemed almost afraid. Von somethings couldn't help but give them quick scary looks to see them squeal and run away. He'd then get slapped on the back of the head by Vita to tell him to be careful. He would sometimes get a glimpse Vita looking at her hands trying to make magic herself to now effect. He would not tease her for it. She seemed almost a bit jealous. Even the Quadruplets who never did anything together would sometimes join their little sister in trying to create magic out of nothing like he did.
Mom and Dad. Nothing changed. After Walter spoke to them and calmed them down. They seemed to accept that he was a wizard, and so was their son so suddenly. How very boringly mature of them. He almost suspected they would find a way to take advantage of this, but as was stated before. It was status quo for the Politician and the Lobbyist.
He didn't see a lot of Marley, Walter, and Abel after his magic manifested. Which he thought was odd. The few times he did see them he spoke with Walter far more often than his eldest sister. Sometimes they would even show up at different times. They both seemed very tired. He did get to tell Walter about the Owl that showed up at his windowsill. Lots of questions were answered about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Promises were made to get him to somewhere called Diagon Alley so he could prepare for Hogwarts. He even learned that Walter wasn't just a normal Horse Jockey, but that he raced and bred FLYING HORSES!
When he left for Hogwarts at Kings Cross. His Parents did see him off. How very shockingly dotting of them. So had Walter. He assumed Walter came because someone needed to go through Platform 9 3/4s with him to make sure he got onto the Hogwarts Express properly. What was most upsetting though was that Vita did not come. Was her jealousy really far worse than he thought? He never spoke to her about it. He should have. All that getting ready for Hogwarts meant less time they got to spend together. Making music, or creating art.
His 1st Year at Hogwarts went off without a hitch. Friends made, new magics learned. even learned about new type of Maths he could be awful at, and he was AWFUL at it. He wrote to Vita and his Parents everyday. He did get a letter back from his Father once, telling him to address his letter to home and not to work any longer. It's difficult to explain owls tapping at windows holding letters in their talons during the afternoon. Thanks Dad, love you too. Walter wrote back often. Though he did speak a lot about Abel in his letters back. Marley was never spoken about. He sent a letter nearly every month to Vita, but she never wrote back.
It was during Winter Break that he had learned that Marley and Walter had filed for Divorce. Walter's lie to her about being magical, about his source of income, and what he might have done behind her back prior to discovering both he and her youngest brother are wizards. This was a whole different kind of fear Marley had than what Andre, and Jett displayed. Walter had even taken full custody of Abel. Marley couldn't bare to think her baby could have magic as well.
It was during this break that he also finally spoke fully with Vita. They both spoke for what felt like half a day in the Attic Hideaway. She revealed that she truly was jealous, but mostly that it would change who he was, and that scared her. She had already seen how he was the one bullying Andre, and Jett. He promised that he would not let magic change who he was, and that he would like to take her to Diagon Alley. So she could still experience the wonders of magic, even if she could not use it like he could.
According to Vita the Quadruplet's bonding over trying to use magic like him lasted only about one more month after he departed from King's Cross. Then they went right back to their old ways.
He finished his first term. After getting permission from his Parents he and Vita were granted time to go to Walter's Ranch where he kept his Granians that he bred and trained for his races. Vita was living in a dreamworld full of flying horses. Though neither of them were allowed to ride any of them yet. BOO! They also met one of Walter's Ranchers. Gardenia Greene. She seemed very attached to Walter...could she be the "might have". She was very kind and friendly with the both of them though. So he didn't think much further on it.
Year Two at Hogwarts came and went. Back at Walter's Granian Ranch he learned that Walter and Gardenia started dating shortly after he left for his second term, and that Gardenia proposed to him just a month ago.
This Family Life was one that he felt as a lot more fun to be a part of. Wonder what more years will have instore for him.
