Before Durmstrang
A photograph of Yakov aged nine. Off to his friend's house after his first day of school. Yakov was the first of the brothers to attempt learning at a muggle school, however, this did not go too well and Yakov, a quiet little boy who respected his elders, was transformed into a trouble-making nightmare. At least it cheered him up.
First Year
A photograph of a less-than happy Yakov. Yakov had very few male friends, and this was making him feel down in the dumps. His family were putting pressure on him to do his best and do well, but this was a no-hope situation come his fourth year. His brother, Dominicus, was already acquainted with the school and helped Yakov get around.
Second Year
A photograph of Yakov in his second year. Yakov and Dominicus stopped getting on so well and Yakov had trouble making friends of his own. Yakov did briefly befriend a girl in the year below, but was picked on for hanging around with someone younger than him. He managed to fall in with a group of fifth years who caused trouble around the school.
Third Year
A photograph of Yakov looking rather smug. He had managed to subtly lob a dung bomb as the photograph was taken, and the girls in the corner were beginning to react. Mid way through the year, Yakov broke free from the group who were now more interested in chatting up girls that throwing a handful of stink pellets at them. He began to have fun and enjoy school, even with detentions.
Fourth Year
A photograph of Yakov in his fourth year at Durmstrang. He may have seemed unhappy when the photograph was taken, but a few minutes later, he and Aaliyah Kaziien knotted a series of wool strings near the floor of one of the many corridors. Both evaded capture and had a good laugh. One student new to Durmstrang and unaware of the usual antics of the rebel students, tripped over and bruised their arm.
Fifth Year
A photograph of Yakov in his fifth year. This was the year of the legendary plant fight in the greenhouse, the year that Yakov began to flirt with girls and the year Yakov first took an interest in Aaliyah as anything other than a very close friend. Surely the year of drama galore. Yakov also had his O.W.Ls to cope with, which took up a lot of time, but he managed to pass well enough to undertake the subjects he wanted to.
Sixth Year
A photograph of Yakov in his sixth year at Durmstrang. The year Yakov should have been having a laugh with his friends, but was instead in trouble. Aaliyah had become his girlfriend, but there was an added complication of pregnancy. However, this didn't last long and Aaliyah lost the baby. Yakov and Aaliyah broke up and began to drift apart.
Seventh Year
A photograph of Yakov in his seventh year at Durmstrang. This was the year Yakov had his N.E.W.T level exams. While he was working on his exams, he managed to find time to speak to Aaliyah on occasion. This was also the year that Beauxbatons hosted the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Yakov was not feeling up to entering, deciding it was not the right time for him to go running off to France. He felt he should keep an eye on Aaliyah. But Aaliyah had entered the competition and went off to France as a potential champion.
After Durmstrang
A photograph of Yakov aged nineteen and still trying to make the most of what was left of his teenage life. He moved to New Zealand to be closer to Aphrodite Fox and his daughter with her, Athena. They attempted to play happy families, but their beliefs were just too different.
A photograph of Yakov aged twenty. Taken as an annual update on Ministry worker's photographs. Yakov had been having a particularly bad day at work and wanted to get back to doing his job. The day did improve when maintenance finally fixed the downpour of rain in the office.
A photograph of Yakov aged twenty-one making the most of his weekend away from work, on the beach in the winter of 2027. Not the happiest weekend of Yakov's life. He went with a work colleague who he did not get on with, after the colleague offered to pay for the weekend. Yakov regrets accepting the offer.
Yakov & Other People
A photograph of Aaliyah and Yakov after getting caught playing Quidditch in the library. Yakov claimed full responsibility for the idea and was given a two weeks detention and a ban from the library for the rest of the year, unless he had a signed note from a professor. The photograph was found in the lake a week after it was taken. Yakov had been sneaking into the library and planting dung bombs and had stolen the photo. He was never caught.
History
Yakov was born to Kristo and Rosa Olaf on the third of June, 2006. He grew up alongside his many siblings, all of which attended Durmstrang. While in attendance of Durmstrang, Yakov, a moderately behaved boy, met Aaliyah. The two grew quickly to be the best of friends and began to wreak havoc around the school, landing themselves in detention numerous times. Despite this, the to became incredibly close friends and in their fifth year, following a plant fight in a Herbology lesson, Yakov began to realise his true feelings for Aaliyah. The pair dated for some time after that until Aaliyah's miscarriage. Their relationship seemed to fall apart and the two did not see each other for many years after.
In the middle of August the year 2025, Yakov witnessed the birth of his daughter, Athena. Aphrodite Fox and he had met previously and she had broken the news of her pregnancy to him. The two had a stint as a couple, even living together for some time, before realising that this relationship was not going to work out. The pair parted ways on good terms, and Yakov still sees his daughter who he loves and treasures.
Migrating to New Zealand to join his brother, Dominicus, working at the Ministry of Magic seemed like a good move and a good way to overcome the troubles of his past. He had hoped to move on and start dating again, and though he had met a few women along the way, Yakov had never really committed wholly to a relationship. His true love for Aaliyah was realised when the two discovered they were both working in New Zealand at the Ministry, and began hanging out again. They ended up on a few dates and back in a relationship. At New Year, Yakov proposed, and the pair wed in July of 2029.
Yakov and Aaliyah moved into a dainty, practical house, and in October of of 2031, Aaliyah discovered she was pregnant. Overjoyed, Yakov set about re-decorating the spare room (which had simply been a storage room full of clutter) and gave it a make-over as a brightly coloured nursery. On the sixteenth of June, 2032, Aaliyah gave birth to a healthy baby girl she later named Krasimira. Though a few weeks premature, it was obvious that Krasimira was a fighter like her mother.
