{|class="collapsible collapsed" width="100%" style="border:1px ; border-radius:1em; -moz-border-radius:1em; -webkit-border-radius:1em; background-color:;" !Textbooks and Years

I made these lists from the books. This is the best I could figure out, but I think it's right.

● new books

• old books you have from previous years

I only did the textbooks normal teachers would assign; I didn't add The Monster Book of Monsters, all the Gilderoy Lockhart books, or Defensive Magical Theory.

There are a few more books, but they are only mentioned once or twice, usually by Hermione, so I think they are just book that determined students can get from the library if they choose.

Sebs
Ideas: Épinal, Toul, Pont-à-Mousson

Etymology
Sebastion is a variation of Sebastian, which means "from Sebaste or Sebastia". Sebaste was the name a town in Asia Minor, its name deriving from Greek σεβαστος (sebastos) "venerable".

The French pronunciation is say-bas-TYOWN (Sébastien). The German one is ze-BAHS-tee-ohn (Sebastian). The O in Sebasti o n however, insures that the end is pronounced with a short o sound, rather than an aw one.

The origin of the name "Vermont" is uncertain, but likely comes from the French les Verts Monts, meaning "the Green Mountains". It is uncommon in Germany among muggles, and like many quirky surnames, it a good deal more common among wizarding families. http://lastnames.myheritage.com/last-name/Vermont

Family
Mélisande: From the Germanic name Amalasuintha, composed of the elements amal "work, labour" and swinþ "strength".

Céline-Adèle: (say-LEEN a-DEL) Céline is the French feminine form of Caelius, which was derived from Latin caelum meaning "heaven". Adèle, adal meaning "noble". Hyphenated names are very popular in France. Note that hyphenated names are considered a single unit -— together, they are the person's first name, not a first and a middle.

Morgan: From the Old Welsh Morcant, which was possibly derived from Welsh mor "sea" and cant "circle". In French, Morgan is usually used as a boy's name and Morgane a girl's name, but Morgan sometimes used for girl, and in wizarding culture, unusual or quirky names are always popular.

Arielle: (ar-ee-EL) French feminine form of Ariel, meaning "lion of God" in Hebrew.

Élisabeth: (ay-lee-za-BET) form of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע ('Elisheva') meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance".

Delilah: (di-LIE-lə) a Biblical Hebrew name, as well as the name of a flower.

Lécuyer: Literally means "the shield-bearer" in French. The name was used to denote an esquire (a person of the nobility one rank below a knight).

Achille: (a-SHEEL) French and Italian form of Achilles. From the Greek Αχιλλευς (Achilleus) which is of unknown meaning, perhaps derived from Greek αχος (achos) "pain" or else from the name of the Achelous River. This was the name of a warrior in Greek legend, one of the central characters in Homer's Iliad.

Jenner: of Norman French origins, the word descending from the pre 10th century Old French "engineor", a derivative of "engaigne", meaning cunning or ingenious.

Et cetera
Amedea - killed in Grahm-Erick feud (Ha! So they aren't totally the good ones, they're murderers too!).

Will -

Viktor - her wand (Unicorn hair and elm, 13 inches)

Audrey - her wedding ring

Erick -

Neville -

Money - split between her sons, with a small sum for Audrey and with some going to Viktor with the request to care for his sister.

User Family Tree
Our wiki family tree is part of the "oral" (chat) culture of DARP, and I like making family trees, so I'm writing it down.

This is still a work in progress based on what I remember and what people tell me. If you're not on it, please owl me, or just wait a day or two (you might be up by then even if you don't say anything, if I can figure out your relation) :)

And it's not simple. I get told contradicting stories by different people, and don't know who's "right". It's a progress, please bear with me. And no matter what the relation, we're all a family. Love you DARPians!!
