Antony stood at one of the small tables, his tools laid out and emptied pumpkin in front of him. He figured since he was at the festival, he might as well enjoy some of the offered festivities. He'd gotten hot chocolate, a mini apple pie and turkey leg, and watched a pie eating contest. When he passed the Three broomsticks and noticed they had pumpkins for carving, Antony thought it might be nice to bring one to his best friend, Brandy. He carved out a diamond and etched beneath it 'A gem for a Brandy'. His hope was once the candle was inside, it would look as though the diamond was glowing. After he was done with the carving, he cleaned it up and whipped out his wand. Uttering a spell, the pumpkin was laced and covered with glitter that sparkled when the light hit it. Clapping his hands together with a smile he said, "Perfect!"

Visiting Hogsmeade was always a treat, even more so when it was during one of their famous festivals. Autumn was in full swing around Europe, and Antony enjoyed the changing colors of foliage, smells of squash and pumpkin and other seasonal spices, and the festivities to be had like carriage rides through the park and garland making. It reminded him of his children, especially being around the festival where everyone was smiling and laughing and engaging in all the fun activities. With a hot chocolate in hand, Antony stopped in front of one of the contest booths. He had no intention of participating, his poor old stomach couldn't handle something like that. However, he was curious to see just how much one person could stomach of a savory and rich pie like pumpkin. He sipped his beverage and watched the contestants gather, wondering if anyone closer to his old age would risk the stomach ache and join in. So far it seemed to be the younger generations. His money was on the older boy. Antony remembered how his own son could shovel in food at that age, he chuckled at the the memory. Where had time gone?

PETROVA FAMILY
The Petrova family has been around since the early 1500's, however, it's said that the true beginning of this line was in Mikhael Petrova, the Great-Great Grandfather of Antony. Mikhael took the family in a direction that led to an enormous amount of wealth and growth, opening and operating one of the first Dragon Sanctuaries in the world. Priyut Drakonov (The Haven of Dragons) was built in 1840, funded by a collective monetary account from the entire family. It was the pride of the Petrova lineage, and had one goal. Breed, care for, and bond with dragons. The idea of riding them as though they were members of their own family was always in the background of their ideology, but it was a far fetched ideal that seemed impossible. It wasn't until Antony's father Aleksi decided to try and harness this ideal more ferociously, that it eventually became a reality. Aleksi would not see the first dragon riders, but his son Antony did.
After decades of trying to crack the codes of how to get a dragon to trust someone enough to be mounted, success was made with his eldest daughter and middle son. Raised since birth and egg, the siblings and their dragons were never separated and as a result grew a deeper bond than any imagined. Now, they're considered successful dragon riders. The first of their kind, to the knowledge of the Petrova family. They have begun replicating this model with their grandchildren in hopes of creating more dragon riders. At first, the ideal is that this creates a deeper bonding and understanding with the creatures, however, some in the family believe it could be a means to authority and power.
All Members listed below, children included, are up for grabs. Not listed in detail are Antony's four siblings and their children. They are also up for grabs if someone wants to make a cousin or sibling. There are no big specifics for those lines. For the most part, the Petrova's are Durmstrang Alumni or Students, however, Hogwarts has been known to slide in as well as Beauxbatons. However, Hogwarts is more common for them to attend than the latter. Face claims are fluid, names can be negotiated, I just want to keep them more on the Slavic side, as the Petrova family is primarily Russian and Norwegian.

Antony Petrova
SIXTY-EIGHT MARCH 13TH, 1956 DRAGONOLOGIST DURMSTRANG GRAD PUREBLOOD LATVIA | PERSONALITY: Antony is a kind older gentlemen, with a love and affinity for working with dragons. Their sturdy and commanding nature resonates with him. Like dragons, he thinks of himself as a commanding man. One who demands respect, however, is a firm believer in catching flies with honey rather than vinegar. With a refined palate, Antony enjoys the lavish lifestyle he lives, preferring to spend his time in the company of life minded folks who enjoy classical music, art galleries, and a well aged scotch. Behind closed doors however, Antony is a flamboyant and fun man who loves to dance and hold gatherings with his friends and family. Many regard him as a warm smile that infects those he interacts with. ASPIRATION: Antony has achieved his life's goal of raising and riding dragons. Having taken over the Dagon Sanctuary his family in built and funded in his mid thirties, he made it a goal to finish his fathers work. With two of his grandchildren being dragon riders, he feels a strong sense of accomplishment now that he has retired. Now he intends to spend the rest of his days imparting his knowledge to the younger generations of his family and enjoy the fruits of his hard work. | LIKES: - Dragons - Art Galleries - Single Malt Scotch - Family Gatherings - Lavish Lifestyles DISLIKES: - Unnecessary Anger - The Dark - Winter/Cold Weather - Politics - Tea and Coffee |

CHILDHOOD. | Antony was raised with eight brothers and sisters and sixteen cousins. On a smaller coastal region in Latvia, he spent the majority of his life running around the Dragon Sanctuary his family owned and operated. Antony and his brood of cousins and siblings were raised alongside dragons from the time they were born and eggs were hatched. While the sanctuary raised and bred dragons, as well as offered a museum like experience for people to explore and see them up close and learn about them, behind the scenes there was a deeper meaning. It was the dream of Nikolai Petrova, his grandfather, for his family to one day be bonded to and ride dragons. Not only because of his genuine love of the creatures themselves, but because of the power that could hold for the Petrova line if they were to master dragons. To ride them was the ultimate goal of the family from that point on. Lenoir, Antony's dragon, was his best friend. Although he was never alone with such a large family, there was a deeper level that he connected with when it came to Lenoir. It seemed they understood eachother in ways their families couldn't. Both he and his dragon were the eldest of the grandchildren, and although he could never mount him, Lenoir would spend time with Antony, enjoy his company and would let him get closer to him than anyone else at the sanctuary. When it came time for Antony to go to Durmstrang, he was hesitant. He worried that leaving Lenoir would weaken their bond, make him forget who he was. It was his greatest fear at that time. His father and grandfather, however, insisted that it was essential for him to be well rounded in education as well if he was to take over one day. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | At Durmstrang, Antony realized fairly quickly that he was not like everyone else around him. Not entierly, anyway. He was more refined, semi-uptight, somewhat...feminine in the way he carried himself. For a long time he found himself feeling outcasted and resolved himself to a more isolated life. Despite the fact he loved being around people, going to their parties, and spending time with his family and friends. It was clear a few years into his schooling that he was gay. He'd always known, but had never allowed himself to act on such whimsy's. Especially during the decades where it was considered an abomination and wrong. Regardless of his feelings and personal struggle, Antony excelled slightly above average in classes, choosing to spend most of his time daydreaming about the sanctuary and ways to do what he had thought was impossible at the time, and ride his dragon. Around the age of seventeen, Antony started to come out of his shell a little. He found a good group of friends and met a nice girl that he decided to date to keep his secret under wraps. Maybe not the most ethical thing to do, but he treated her with respect and kindness and always upheld her virtue ad reputation. He graduated with slightly above average scores, eager to get back to Lenoir. |
ADULTHOOD. | At twenty, Antony married Anya Ivanov, a woman he'd met at the sanctuary. She was there on a continued education trip and he asked her out at the pressure of his father who wanted him to start his continuation of the family. They hit it off in almost all the ways that mattered. Enough that the fact she was a woman, didn't matter to him. He genuinely loved her for the kindness she had in her heart and her giving nature. He knew she'd make a great mother and wife, and they married a year after their first date. Immediately they started having children, five altogether. The older he got, the more he began to take the place of his father as the new patriarch of the family. He was also entrusted with the ideology that one day they would ride dragons as though they were part of their flesh. He continued the work, unsuccessfully for years until his oldest daughter and middle son. After decades of his daughter and son being raised alongside their dragons since birth, Alana and Nikolai had bonded close enough with their two Welsh Greens and were allowed to mount and ride them. With his lifelong work finally bearing fruit, Antony continued his methods with the newer generation of grandchildren and are showing equal promise of one day riding their own dragons. At 56, his wife died of a heart attack. Newly widowed, getting older and tired, Antony decided to begin the transition of ownership and power to his eldest son Dimitri, and retire. At 68 years old, Antony has been living the last ten years of his life in freedom in every aspect, including the fact that he is gay. While a difficult thing for his family to come to terms with, it's something that's simply unspoken at family gatherings, and Antony respects their stance, choosing to keep that part of himself for himself. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
On the rare occurrence of a sunny day, Cascada Minor would never be caught indoors. If she was at Hogwarts, she would be found im the courtyard or garden, when not at work she could be found in Hogsmeade. It was one of her favorite places to visit on a warm and sunny day like today. People out and about, warm and inviting weather, ice cream from the shoppe what more could anyone ask for? The school year was coming to an end and with it her workload was slowly dwindling. Her muggleborn students were often excited for their first summer home, eager to tell their parents about their new adventures. Unfortunately, the end of school meant Cas would spend the majority of her time back at the manor with her mother. It was the only part of coming home that brought her dread. She'd hoped things would change and her mother would be willing to rekindle their relationship and maybe have some sort of mother and daughter connection. But that seemed to be more of a pipe dream.
Today, however, she wasn't worried about any of that. Today she sat on a bench in the middle of the village, basking in the glorious rare sunshine. She waved and made small talk with a few people passing by, but mostly she just enjoyed the people watching. Her dark hair was tied back into a tight pony tail, shorts revealing her tan legs, and a simple black tank top. She wanted to soak in as many rays as she could while it lasted. Back in North America, sunshine was abundant, here it was the opposite. She didn't mind as long as she could take advantage of days like today. Drawing in a deep breath, she exhaled her stress and watched the shoppers laughing a little at the younger crowd pulling their pranks and really enjoying their Saturday afternoon. She wondered what Keeley was doing, and Lux. But most of her thoughts always seemed to drift back to him. As much as she tried to keep them away, he always crept in and settled in the place that warmed her the most. What was doing, was he happy. She wanted the best for him, even if that life didn't coincide with her own.
