Lavrentios Sakellarios had it easy. Good marks on his career-deciding assessments, family wealth, popularity, charisma; there was nothing he wanted that he couldn’t have. Selene Vallou wasn’t as fortunate, and as expected, it created a lot of troubles for them when they were assigned to be partners following their graduation from Greece’s coveted auror training program. Lavrentios didn’t take the job as seriously as Selene did, vying more for the social reverence that came with pursuing such an honorable career than committing to the demanding responsibility to duty characteristic of every worthwhile auror in the Greek Field Office.
They understandably didn’t get along very well, and considering the falling rate of crime nationwide in Greece, there was never a pressing need for them to get along on a fundamental level. The foundations for trust weren’t there. They bickered a lot, challenged each other to break protocol and put their own lives at risk — Selene was smart, but when Lavrentios was thrown into the mix, she’d fall from grace very quickly if it meant proving him wrong.
The first time they ran into real trouble was with the resurgence of an old settlement of nymphs that were frustrated with the constant problems of trespassing muggles and territorial struggles. Based in an unknown, unplottable portion of the Foloi Forest, they strived to inflict as much damage on the wizarding world as had been inflicted upon them, including but not being limited to raiding their civilizations, looting their homes, stealing their lands, and killing any wizard they came across.
They were meant to be supported by a network of disenfranchised vampires, werewolves, faeries, and veela, but by far, they were the ones most committed to the downfall of Greek wizardkind. Unfortunately for them, none took into account the sympathizers who were somewhat skeptical of the plan and in disagreement with the course of action to take. One bad apple will rot the rest, you see, and before long, one of the offices scattered throughout the region of Ilia caught wind of the planned attacks. It was considered a grand-scale attack and, by consequence, every other field office in Greece was put on high alert; Selene and Lavrentios included.
Lavrentios had a God complex back then. He thought, with all his fame and wealth, he was untouchable, and goaded Selene into joining him in his endeavors to find this infamous whistleblower and try to find a portkey to the unplottable settlement. It was a bad idea and Selene knew it, but he was so adamant and infuriating that Selene reasoned — maybe he could use with being knocked down a peg or two. Was it a good idea? No, not at all! They didn’t have the proper training; they were just two rookies doing the best they could. They weren’t even decent negotiators, but they still went out to Foloi in hopes of finding the nymph they were very sure was being hunted down by every anarchist peculiar in Greece.
It really isn’t that hard to find someone and trick them into giving you a portkey if you threaten to sell them out. Well, not that they helped the poor sod even after getting what they wanted. Lavrentios excused it by saying he didn’t want to risk charges of treason, even though his argument was illogical considering the other laws they were about to break. Either way, he just didn’t have a helping heart. (Yes, Selene’s opinion of him plummeted even further after that.)
Getting into the village was easy enough; nobody really cares about who you are when the air is buzzing with the promise of an imminent revolution. Selene and Lavrentios quickly became privy to many of the bigger plans and the disaster that awaited much of magical Greece if they didn’t move quickly. Realizing his family were primary targets was definitely a sobering moment for Laventios.
Years of buying acres upon acres of land to build touristic resorts and profit off the loss of others had caught up to him and his family. He now had the opportunity to put an end to the attacks as he was armed with knowledge that the auror office hadn’t been able to get their hands on yet. They were short on time, though; the so-called Fight for Freedom was due to start that same night.
If they’d gone in with a little more training, they probably would have made it in time, but no, they went and got themselves caught by a pair of faeries so low in the hierarchy that they could have gone missing and nobody would’ve noticed. Years later, Selene would maintain that it was karma on Lavrentios for being an insufferable cunt.
Physical torture? Sure, they can handle it. Emotional torture? A little bit on the iffy side, but Selene was an orphan and Lavrentios had been a bully his whole life; they didn’t stand to lose much on that front, either. But using their own magic against them? Weaponizing the Imperius Curse through their half-breeds and forcing them to submit to their wishes? That — well, that didn’t go over very well with them, the Sakellarios family, or the aurors.
To make a long story short, both of them were very lucky to make it out alive. Psychologically damaged, but they were rescued and hailed as heroes for the efforts to stop what would’ve been the worst disaster to strike Greece in centuries. If any good came of it though, it’s that talks to return all stolen land quickly began and Lavrentios’ family was facing plenty of charges for all their crimes. Lavrentios didn’t face any repercussions specifically, though both he and Selene were severely reprimanded for the stunt they pulled. No disciplinary action came, though, and in part, he’d reason eventually that it could be accredited to the way he’d matured almost overnight, facing realization after realization regarding the seriousness of his career and the danger he was putting everyone in.
There was a moment where he debated quitting. Why not do something else, like maybe become a curse-breaker? Or even some kind of diplomat? He didn’t have any training — not conventionally, at least — but he felt his experience could now be better used elsewhere. He was so set on it that the only person that snapped him out of his downward spiral was Selene itself; an act born of empathy that would, in due time, lead to a relationship between them.
It wouldn’t be for another few years, though. They had their own issues to work through, clearly, and even more after the mess that was the whole situation with the nymphs. But being confined to desk duty after their medical leave was hell, and they helped each other through it in ways that helped them bond quite a bit.
Years later, Selene and Lavrentios started their life together. Their plans were to have a small family and be able to grow in their respective careers. Selene dreamt of becoming the Head of Law Enforcement, but Lavrentios’s ambitions were geared towards leading the Hit Wizard Division of the Athens office. They eventually reached their respective goals, but not without their fair share of struggles.
It wasn’t really any big problems that had them stalling their careers, but as it turns out, they were both very fertile people, and no matter the age, no implant, anti-contraceptive, or even pulling out helped. Plan B? Yeah, no. They tried. 17 kids in and sure, they had the help of an army of nannies and their older children to help with the youngest, but it was still hard for them to balance their work and home lives. They were too stubborn to let go of either one. The only solution seemed to be abstinence, and for a couple like them, that was almost impossible.
