Ceres Minerva Vesta Lestrange
PERSONALITY Boggart: Adolph with his empty pockets turned out, obviously poor Mirror of Erised: Her sons, the eldest happily married to a pretty witch from a respected family with several boys of their own, and her youngest with his new wife, pregnant Patronus: Blood Hound - she cannot produce one, but the memory of her and Adolph announcing their pregnancy with Rodolphus would be the closest happy memory she could muster Loyal is perhaps the best word that could be used to describe Ceres Lestrange. After years of marriage, Ceres loves her husband deeply, and even more so she loves her children and granddaughter. She would do literally anything for her family, including when she assisted in covering up the accidental manslaughter of Rodolphus’ nanny, then took him out for ice cream and reminded him what a good boy he was. Her children don’t always make the choices she would make for them, but she supports them completely and would never purposely let on if she were ever disappointed in them. Ceres is a confident woman, and holds herself in high regard, despite her apparent drinking problem. She may not be the most feminine looking witch, but her attitude more than makes up for her physical resemblance to her father. Everyone adores Ceres and if they don’t, they know better than to say so to her face as she could easily bring hellfire down upon them, and what’s more, she believes her husband and sons would do the same if they ever heard someone utter a poor word against her. Loyalty begets loyalty.

Ceres was a tall child, broad shouldered and very much the spitting image of her father, much to her dainty mother’s chagrin. She was raised as a proper pureblooded witch; tutored by the finest instructors, sent to finishing school, and betrothed to a suitable family’s son from an early age. Despite her tall stature and somewhat manly features, Ceres was a girly-girl. As a teenager she spent hours primping in front of her mirror, ensuring not a single hair was out of place and that her clothes were perfectly ironed. Ceres was already in school, a well-respected Slytherin student, by the time her youngest brother, Titus, was born. The gap in age meant that Ceres didn’t see much of her younger brother, at least not until she was older. At 22, the long-awaited engagement finally came to an end. Ceres was beyond ecstatic to marry Adolph Lestrange. Her excitement was not due to any romantic feelings she might have for him, but for what the marriage would mean for her as a witch. The Rowles were a wealthy family, but by far the wealthiest family in all of Britain was the Lestranges. In addition to their fortune, Ceres was marrying into one of the strongest bloodlines in all of Europe. She was practically becoming a princess. It was everything Ceres had ever wanted out of life and she was over the moon about it all. The couple began trying for an heir straight away, though they were unlucky for a very long time. About three years later, amid concerns of infertility, Ceres received devastating news. Her brother Olympus and his new bride had vanished at sea and were presumed dead. Having been close with Oly, Ceres took the news poorly and began drinking heavily. It was over a decade later when fortune finally shone on Ceres and Adolph, they gave birth to their Miracle Child. A handsome little boy they named Rodolphus. He would be their heir and their world. Ceres doted endlessly on her son, giving in to every whim and fancy. He was never made to lift a finger and despite being prone to bouts of rage and aggression, Ceres thought he hung the moon. Only two years later, the couple was blessed with a second child. Ceres didn’t understand her husband’s hesitation with having a second child, but agreed that they would not try for a third. After nearing two decades of trying to conceive, Ceres had two healthy, beautiful pureblood boys. It would be tempting fate to try for more. Her life became devoted to fawning over her children while Adolph busied himself with expanding the Lestrange empire. She fell into a depression after Rabastan went off to Hogwarts, leaving her home alone much of the time, and again she returned to the bottle as a way of coping. Adolph promised her he would spend less time at the office to be with her, but with Rodolphus preparing to one day take over Lestrange Industries, Adolph was nearly just as busy as he had always been. Her binge drinking became a habit and these days its rare to see Ceres more than a few feet from a glass of champagne. Her family has grown and changed over the years. Her brother brought three children into the world, giving Ceres a young niece and two handsome nephews. Her own son, Rodolphus married the eldest Black daughter and had a daughter of his own. Aurora, a gorgeous little girl, was perfect in every way except that she was girl. Ceres reminded her son that he needed a proper heir, but instead the now grown man shocked his family and the wizarding world by announcing he and his wife were divorcing. Ceres took to her bed for weeks following the news. Thankfully, her youngest son, Rabastan was arranged to marry the eldest Burke daughter and had promised his mother a grandson. This perked Ceres up immensely, though she still worries about her sweet Rodolphus who is now engaged to a pureblooded witch from a known bloodtraitor family. Rodolphus insists his future bride is worthy, and Adolph has confirmed her allegiance to the Dark Lord, but Ceres still worries. He is her precious little heir, after all, and she will always worry about him.
