The Origin Of The Dragons


So just in case anybody is wondering of how the wizarding world singing sensation came to be here is just a little backstory. One day I was listening to The Backstreet Boys (I'll post the exact song at the end of the post.) and I was thinking to myself what if there was a wizarding world equivalent and I was wondering what would I be obsessed with if I was a witch? (Cause when I was younger, I was even more obsessed with BSB lol) So I figured that I would want to listen to a boyband.






I first thought of somebody based upon Nick Carter who could be my main singer, and I liked the name Aaron an awful lot and that was also the name of his younger brother,.. but I also really liked the name Michael so after switching the names around quite a few times I finally decided upon Aaron Michael Parker. I thought that I would make him so attractive (with a face that looked like it was carved by angels) that all the witches would go crazy for as well as an amazing voice so that way it could cause some conflict for Aaron later on when he starts to question who he is.





Which is also why I decided to kill off his little sister because it would make it even easier for him to want to quit The Dragons later on. I also based some of his looks off of Brian Littrell as well. Rickie was the next character I came up with and he was based off of AJ Mclean and since we're both very much big on our faiths that's why I decided to give Rickie that as well. Derek and Justin came shortly afterwards and I based Justin's personality on my own since I was rather shy in school and unfortunately teased for my looks.





After I put all four characters together I had to come up with a name. So I don't remember all the names that I went through but I went through several tough names that a boyband might have in the wizarding world,.. and then I was watching a Family Matters episode one day that had a thug group in it called The Dragons and that's when The Dragons were first hatched.






Later on I came up with an origin story for their name (that I am currently have writer's block for) that explained in there they came up with it due to the first time they sung together, somebody thought they were as hot as the breath of a fire-breathing dragon. :D






Finally, their outfits were last and I sort of got my inspiration from Disney's The Cheetah Girls on this one,.. because I wanted them to have outfits that made them very much resemble a dragon when they were performing together just like The Cheetah Girls have cheetah spots. So,.. when I closed my eyes the first thing I thought of was a red dragon with black leather wings,.. witch is why they're dressed in red suits with dragonhide vests and gloves. :)






So, in conclusion that's how The Dragons came to be and I really hope that JK Rowling would be proud and happy and excited about them. I thank her for creating the Harry Potter world and for The Backstreet Boys existing. :D I hope you love them (or will love them) as much as I do and that they will continue singing and dancing in all of your imaginations. :)
