SO1: Corinna Dragomira Valencia Dawning, Pureblood, Age 20
SO2: Draconis Orion Altair Megalos, Pureblood, Age 21
Draconis is the oldest son of Roswitha and Pherick Megalos, and the heir of the Megalos family. His aunt, Idonea Megalos (now Wyndham) was at one time engaged to Cosmo Dawning, Corinna's father, but he broke the engagement to marry a Muggleborn witch. The Megalos family never quite forgave the slight. They eventually re-established ties with the main branch of the Dawning family after an engagement was arranged between Draconis, then five, and a newborn Dawning girl - one of Corinna's cousins. However, even mentioning Cosmo's small branch of the family - Cosmo, Katerina, and Corinna and her siblings - was completely off-limits.
Of course, he still knew about them. He overheard his parents talk about them in hushed whispers (always while his aunt was well out of earshot) and a couple times at Dawning family gatherings he heard them mentioned. Though the reports were varied and, as he would come to find, wildly inaccurate - Cosmo had gone crazy and should have been admitted to St. Mungos ages ago; Katerina was actually a succubus... no, half-veela... no, a powerful and seductive enchantress; their eldest daughter was horribly disfigured, presumably as punishment for Cosmo's unfaithfulness... and so on and so forth.
When he heard "Corinna Dawning, Ravenclaw" during the sorting ceremony his second year, he half-expected to see some hideous monster or something walking toward his house table. Instead, she turned out to be, while not stunning, not horrifying either. If he had been older and more interested in girls, he would have found her attractive, probably. But he was preoccupied with his friends and had little use for girls, so he didn't give her much more than a passing thought and then forgot about her. During the year he kept to his group of friends and the few times he saw her was in passing in the hallway or across the Ravenclaw common room. He thought so little about her that he even forgot to mention her to his parents when he went home for breaks.
The two pretty much remained off each other's radars for most of their school career. Draconis was more into sports than Corinna - he was the Keeper for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team starting in his third year. Corinna rarely made it out to Quidditch games, and when she did she usually had her nose in a book. Even though they were in the same house, they traveled in different circles. In his sixth year they were both prefects together, so they interacted more than before. They found that once they were forced together, they got on rather well, and became fairly good friends. The two never mentioned the relationship between their families, though, and Draconis wasn't even sure if Corinna was aware of the family history. Draconis never did tell his family about the friendship of sorts, or even that she was at Hogwarts with him. He figured that once he married Lydia, Corinna's cousin, that he could pull a few strings and get Corinna's part of the family back into the fold, because Corinna seemed like a nice enough girl and he imagined that her family was more of the same.
Currently Draconis is running his own bookstore in Diagon Alley that specializes in history texts and works of fiction written by various witches and wizards. He's fairly certain that he's seen Corinna enter the store several times but has never gotten a chance to speak to her - in fact, they haven't spoken since he graduated from Hogwarts. He remains engaged to Lydia Dawning and is waiting for her to finish up her final two years at Hogwarts before they get married.
Bah, that all made more sense in my head. Long story short: Corinna's father was engaged to Draconis' aunt but broke it off to marry a Muggleborn witch. To amend the issue the Dawnings offered to have Corinna's cousin, Lydia, marry Draconis. Corinna's family was struck from the Dawning family tree and almost never mentioned. Corinna and Draconis ended up in Ravenclaw together but barely talked until they were prefects together in Draconis' sixth year, when they became friends. They haven't spoken since Draconis' graduation, though, and Draconis remains engaged to Lydia.
