Pureblood Families
Almasy
An extremely wealthy, matriarchal family primarily from Moscow, Russia. Only a handful reside in the UK. They are known as the Almasy Clan.
- Ira Almasy
- Raine Almasy (halfblood)
Avery
An old, wealthy pureblood family either said to have originated from France or Navarra. Formerly staunchly purist and thus has many historical ties to other pureblood families. After their involvement with Grindelwald and Voldemort, the family is split between maintaining that purist view and being anti-purist. Anti-purist Averys declare their distaste for blood discrimination openly, while the purist side tends to keep a low profile.
Bagnold
The Bagnolds are a pureblood family with roots in Kent, England. They are closely connected to the Grimms and the Whitmans, and have direct ties to many other pureblood families. The Bagnold family has a reputation for being very pro-Ministry and anti-purist, and are known to produce many Gryffindors. Millicent Bagnold, a former Minister for Magic who came to power during the end of Voldemort's first reign, is still the clan's matriarch.
The Bagnolds are open for pureblood connections or new characters within the family. For more information, please contact Sparky.
