Chapter Text
Some information I wanted to add, but it didn't physically fit in the space:
Darkhart is the name of one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, the families still considered truly pure-blood.
But when young Gwyn, scion of the family, left his pure-blood bride at the altar to elope with a Muggle, the purity line was broken for the first time in centuries.
The Darkharts were removed from the list, but Gwyn's parents plotted a vicious revenge against the Muggle and her half-blood son, whom they considered illegitimate and therefore unrecognized.
Because of this, it's not uncommon to see Lumos walking around wearing sunglasses or reading glasses, used to hide his unusual eye color.
A very bright, almost luminous green, a side effect of the curses and hexes his grandparents unleashed on him as part of the punishment.
Despite what he's endured from Dark Magic, he's drawn to it: because of his status as a House Trickster, which obviously also brings out Slytherin's ambition and lust for power.
His morality can therefore become extremely gray and indefinable: he doesn't appreciate the Keepers' attempt to manipulate him, without leaving Isidora the right to defend herself and explain her intentions; at the same time, he disapproves of Isidora's choice to use the students, and steal their emotions without permission, to store pain in the Repository.
He therefore feels torn between the Keepers and Isidora Morganach.
He is very fond of Professor Fig, with whom he has developed a very close relationship, more like Father-Son than Mentor-Student.
For this reason, his death leaves Lumos deeply traumatized.
