❝ Simon Alexander Duvall grew up as an only child in a proud pureblood family. The first rule he was taught was that muggles were beneath magical folk. Because of this, he didn’t attend muggle school when he was younger but instead spent his days cooped up inside his parents’ manor. They taught him everything they believed in and he would just nod his head as though he agreed. In all truth, he wasn’t too fond of muggles but he didn’t mind muggleborn witches and wizards, after all they were technically magical folk too. His mother, Andrea, holds a position in the Wizengamot while his father, Henry, works in the Improper Use of Magic Office. When he was younger, Simon never got away with anything. His parents were strict and serious. One would assume he’d want to follow in their footsteps, them being as successful as they were. On the contrary, he despised them and most certainly didn’t want to be like them. The problem was he turned out to be as quiet and serious as they were.
Simon was sorted into Slytherin like his entire family before him. Although most Slytherins held close relationships with one another, but Simon was a bit of a loner. In his entire career at Hogwarts he had two friends and neither one knew anything about him. He was dark and mysterious and most people kept away from him. Part of the reason for this was that his parents were powerful; part of the reason was because he was a male Slytherin. Some people judged him based on his interactions with others as well. For instance if he wanted a spot at the Slytherin table he just pointed and muttered ‘move.’ Every single Slytherin would follow his orders. None of them would like it, but they were too afraid of what might happen. Combined, his parents could have their wand snapped in half. Simon knew all the people that feared him were idiots. Sure, he could kick a** in a duel but his parents wouldn’t waste their power on students that wouldn’t get up for their son.
Last year, his sixth year, he was named quidditch captain and he joined the team his second year as the keeper. He was pretty fast, was born to fly, and could catch better than anyone, so he was a shoe in for position but even more so for captain as he trained harder than anyone on the team. At least it appeared that way since he only practiced with his friends. Sure, he got along with his teammates and yes, they would all celebrate their victories in the commonroom after a win, but Simon and the team only talked about quidditch when they talked at all.
This year has been interesting for Simon. The only reason his name was with the others for the competition was because his parents had been pestering him about it the entire summer holiday. He is very thankful that chances are he won’t get picked because he’s not too fond of the limelight. He knows he can handle himself in the tournament but he isn’t sure if he can handle having his fellow Slytherins approaching him. Basically his goal is to stay away from the spotlight and work through his last year so that he can graduate and try to disappear from his parents' radar or -since that's pretty impossible because he probably couldn't go two days without magic- just annoy them by living among the muggles, finding a job and settling down without their blessing. God forbid, he leave them out of the equation. But he, like most seventeen year olds, just wants to get away from his family and start his own life; the trouble is, he's so focused on his family, he'll find he's not sure on what he wants to do with himself. ❞
