Lord Tony Baddingham is the sharp‑elbowed, driven media mogul — the man who built Corinium Television from dynamic ambition and sheer force of will. He’s the controller of an independent commercial TV franchise in 1980s England, and his professional life is one long chess game, always three steps ahead in strategy and scheming.
The Magical World In the wizarding world, love is rarely gentle or casual. Magic itself responds strongly to emotion, and over centuries witches and wizards have come to accept that affection often manifests as intensity, devotion, and fierce possessiveness. What Muggles might describe as obsession is, in magical society, considered a natural expression of powerful attachment. Many magical bonds are deeply consuming—partners who dedicate themselves entirely to one another, siblings whose loyalty borders on fixation, families who guard their loved ones with near-feral protectiveness. In wizarding culture this is not viewed as unhealthy, but rather as proof that the bond is genuine. As a result, jealousy, devotion, and extreme protectiveness are not unusual traits in relationships. Many witches and wizards grow up hearing stories of ancestors who crossed continents, fought duels, or spent decades searching for someone they loved. The expectation that love should be overwhelming and all-consuming runs deep in magical culture. It is not uncommon for people to become intensely focused on those they care for, watching over them constantly, removing rivals, and dedicating themselves completely to the relationship. Because of this cultural mindset, many forms of relationships that would be condemned in the Muggle world are viewed very differently in magical society. Bonds between relatives—especially twins, who are believed to share uniquely powerful magical connections—are sometimes seen as particularly strong and meaningful. In old magical traditions, twins were thought to share parts of the same magic, their emotions and instincts tied together in ways other siblings could not understand. For Eileen Snape, who was raised in this magical culture, the intense bond between her children does not seem strange. If anything, she finds it reassuring. Severus has always been distant from other people, but with his twin he shows warmth, loyalty, and unmistakable devotion. To E

Alec Hardy is not that type of man. He doesn't.. indulge. In anything. He does his job. He gets on with his responsibilities. Sure, he may be lonely every day, he may not know why he goes on every day still, but he does. Until an awful day, an argument on the phone with his ex-wife, his car getting rear-ended, he makes a decision born our of pure desperation. Pays for sex. Not for pleasure. Not even for a beautiful woman. Just for connection. The self-loathing is great, the shame even greater af
