So with that being said Makenzie is very close with her parents. She loves to watch her mom skate and occisonaly join her in the skate, she likes to learn from her grandparents, like sewing. She spends most of her time with her twin. So yeah, i would have to say she is pretty tight with her family and that is what makes her happy the most.
HISTORY General History: Makenzie's parets started out young when they had children, they were just kids themselfs. Her mother, Bailey, was a young 16 year old child, confused with the world, and placed several times in foster care that was until her last foster mother adopted her and several other students as well.
Bailey, her mother went to the school that her adopted mother taught at. It was a boarding school basically. All the troubled teens lived there. She was taught to love something that would boost her confindence. She picked up the habit of ice skating and every day she got better and better. Well that was until a blonde hair, blue eyed male made her fall head over heels for him. Tommy, his name was.
She got closer and closer to the boy, feelings grew strong every moment. They took their relationship into a whole new level. Sneaking out, dating, and even enjoying a little one on one. Well that little one on one got her pregnant. Bailey didnt know what to do, but she needed more love, than what Tommy could provide her with, or so she thought.
She decided to have the babies and was still madly in love Tommy, he was her complete and utterly rock of foundation she needed. The twins were born on Christmas Eve, a special time of year that Bailey and Tommy both loved.
Makenzie, her sister, her parents all live in Waterford, Ireland. They have some Irish culture, but their parents never persude it on the children to learn that deep of their heritage.
Makenzie is the first to go to hogwarts in her family, she is very blessed with this gift, of course somewhere and someone in her family had magic but who? This is something Makenzie must find out later in life.
MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: The train had finally stopped at the station for hogwarts. Makenzie followed her sister, she was nervous. This was the first time she was away from her parents, but atleast she had her sister. She followed the new students to the docks, where they took the boats across the lake to the castle. She never had really rode in a boat before.
This experience was new, she looked around , it was dark, the ride was nice and smooth, with a tiny touch of magic feeling. Her excitement grew as they got closer to the castle. The castle looked magical with the lights all a glow in the windows, and with her being new to magic she knew nothing.
As the walked into the Great Hall, Kenzi glanced at all the students happy faces that sat at the four long tables. She wondered how they got there before she did. She shook her head and looked at all the tables and studied which table was whose. As she pondered this question, the sorting ceremony had begun.
Student after students went before her by last name, finally they got to the Ts. "Thomas, Makenzie!?" The person called her. 'Wait, where Kali? Did she go ahead of her or no?' She thought inside her head as she looked for her twin while she walked up to the brown stool. She sat down as the black hat of mystic sat upon her blonde hair. She spotted her sister and smiled at her.
The hat took a while, it couldn't choose where to put her, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, the choices where overwhelming. She thought about what she loved doing best. The hat cried out, "Ravenclaw!" She sighed and got up and joined her fellow housemates. With a smile she knew this house was for her.

See she had tons of friends in college and was a well rounded student but she longed for something more, a boyfriend. Boys werent common in her area, so she wasnt really into it at the time, but at that moment it hit her when she was the only one without a boyfriend. She ran over to the counter to get away from her snogging friends and ordered a lemonade with a perk.
The server quickly tossed up her drink and she lefted with a dash into the man of her dreams. The two exchanged apologizes and looked heavily into each others eyes. Oh it was so romantic..

The Sorting Ceremony had just began and young Amethyst grew more and more nervous. As each student went up to the front, she began to tap her foot, she began to get more excited as her time was soon coming.

The Sorting:At first when the new group of first years came into the Great Hall the upper classmen watched as they marched two by two between the tables. Then about half way there was a gap in the two lines that could have been filled by two or four new students. Oscar was filling this space but because he was in his wheelchair he was noticeable lower then the other eleven year olds and the nearby upper classmen were whispering in confusion as he rolled along the stone floor. Oscar was use to being stared at because of his chair but it seemed slightly more intense this time because of the two lines in front and behind him. The turned into one line in front of the staff table. One teacher stood in front of this table next to a stool and on top of the stool a musty-patched-old-hat that suddenly opened a rip at the brim and started singing.
Then after it’s song about the four houses the teacher next to it took out a scroll and started reading names one by one in alphabetical order. That student would sit under the hat and it would shout out which house they needed to go to. For some reason it felt rather long before he heard “Masterman, Oscar” from the teacher. When he did he rolled forward up to the small ledge, there were some more murmurers from the on lookers and he thought her heard someone ask if he needed help “I got it.” He stated without really thinking about it and his chair was up on the ledge next to the stool.
After he turned his chair around to face the other students, the Sorting Hat was placed down on his head covering his eyes. “Well now this is a tough one. Tough indeed. A thirst for knowledge and an immense loyalty, but not willing to trust others quickly. Hmmmmm…. A need to prove yourself. You could fit with any of them really…. Hmmmmm. Your willingness to learn seems to be quite strong….. Yes best be…
“RAVENCLAW!!!”The hat shouted the house and was removed from his head. Oscar looked at the cheering table and wheeled over to the table then watched the rest of the soring with his new house.

HISTORY General History: It is said that one of Victora's ancestors was a were-fox, and that She was named after said ancestor. This was the answer given to her when she asked about the family crest, and why there was crescent moons on it. Weather this is true or not, Victora doesn't know since the only she could ever find stores of any lycanthrope are of werewolves and one story of were-panthers, muggle and magic alike. She hasn't been able to go up into the attic since she found an old album of her mother and father, one was where he put a crescent moon necklace around her mother's neck perhaps it is the proposal he made to her(the vary one Victora keeps with her). Even if the she did have a were-fox for an ancestor, the were blood would have been well washed out before Victora was born. Even so her father says she should take pride in her name, and does this by wearing crescent moon charms.
Victora may have pictures of her mother and know what she looks like, and got most of her mother's looks, but doesn't know what her mother sounds like, as there are no paintings of her mother in her house. She also found a music box with her mother's name on it. It's better then nothing since she doesn't remember her mother, and her father doesn't talk much about her or why she died. She figures that it's hard for him to do so since she can see the pain every once in a wile when he catches her looking at the picture. Though he is often vary stern and by the book, he still does care about Victora. However dew to his job as an Auror as well as possible pain association, he got a Nanny to take care of Victora.
One day when Victora was about four or five Nanny Fe, who happens to be a Squib, lost Victora on an outing. It was well past dark when Victora was found again. It was a week before she saw Fe again, and was shocked to see that her nanny now had odd scratches along the right side of her face as well as lost sight in her right eye. Since then it had felt like Fe had some resent meant for Victora, but would never quit. Feeling responsible for having made Fe lose her eye, even though she often heard her muttering, Victora couldn't bring herself to ask her father for a new nanny. Victora has also started calling her "Ma'am" to be as formal and respectful as she could. This was also why she doesn't like braking the rules as it made her think that someone else will get vary badly hurt.
That's not to say that all of Victora's life is bleak and upsetting. Aunt Noasu is the Family's privet healer. Though related though branches, she isn't one of Victora's parents' sister. Though she insists on Victora call her "Aunt." She will sometimes take Victora with her to get her away from her Nanny for a little wile, or at least on the days off. She would normally ride on the Night Bus, as it's "The best way to meet new people" and even a muggle bus if they where in a city. It was on muggle bus ride with Aunt Noasu that Victora saw a muggle boy staring at a small box and beating it with his thumbs. Noasu took notice and after asking the boy about it, and how to get one. It turned out that the boy had been playing a game on a DS, and that you could get them at most mega marts, or game stores. It took Noasu about two months to get one and gave it to Victora, it wasn't long till Victora started to get use to playing the system, which helps shorten long trips and other things. Victora some what wishes the she could bring her hand held gaming systems with her to Hogwarts, but her Father told her that it would be pointless since Muggle things don't work in Hogwarts, and she wouldn't be able to charge a batteries. He gave her a deck of cards to take with her instead. She also brought her chess board pieces, if she can find someone to play agent.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Getting expelled, or her Father's full disapproval on something. As an adult it will be a dear one dead
Mirror of Erised: Her mother handing her a music box, with Victora's name on it
expelled, or her Father's full disapproval on something. As an adult it will be a dear one dead

GENERAL
Name: Emalthya Lovell Gender: Female Birthday: 21st of February Nationality: Australian House: Gryffindor Blood Status: Half-Blood Wand: Yew and Dragon Heartstring, 13 inches, Slightly Springy Wand Hand: Right
FAMILY
Mother: May Gillingham (Muggle, not past student) Father: Douglas Lovell (Wizard, not past student) Siblings: None Extended Family: None close by worth mentioning Relationship with Family: Emalthya corresponds with her mother, but does not speak to her father. She occasionally writes to her grandmother and grandfather, on Mother’s and Father’s days respectively.
HISTORY
Emalthya lived until her acceptance to Hogwarts with her single mother, May. May had changed jobs in the year before Emalthya turned eleven and moved to London with Emalthya from Australia. Emalthya’s father is a non-practising wizard and did not tell either Emalthya or May, so her acceptance letter to Hogwarts was taken as a delightful gift from someone instead of a real offer of education. It was not until Emalthya and May accidentally found themselves in Diagon Alley that they learned the truth from a ministry worker stationed in Diagon Alley in case of emergencies including, but not limited to, Muggle discovery of Diagon Alley.
Emalthya’s move was not looked upon favourably by her father. Their relationship is strained when it is not non-existant.
Physical Appearance: Emalthya is pale skinned with hazel eyes and chestnut hair. Her hair is her favourite aspect of herself, despite the fact that it sticks out around her head when she ties it back and a few minutes after brushing it when it is left out, it tangles into a mane. This annoys her very much and she keeps a plastic comb in her bag to try and keep her hair neat.
She has a scar from an early childhood mishap across her right eyebrow, which she tries to conceal with her long straight fringe cut across her forehead.
Emalthya enjoys hair clips and her favourites are a pair of black bows which she wears on either side of her head above her ears. she is also partial to Gryffindor house hair clips.
Emalthya likes silver jewellery and she habitually wears a silver locket. On special occasions, she wears a large silver ring on her right ring finger featuring three horned owls.
Manner of Dress: Emalthya is fairly untidy, always with her shirt out. Being tidy just takes up so much effort. Her clothes are conservative and she prefers block colours without patterns, and usually dark colours. She is partial to emerald green, rich red, but wears black almost exclusively. She also likes lace and ribbons. Her hairstyle is in keeping with her conservative style.
Demeanour: Emalthya has a ready and wide smile around those she is comfortable with, but is cautious around new people.
Hobbies: Emalthya enjoys playing electronic games, especially Pokemon. She is disappointed that she can't play electronic games at Hogwarts. Instead, she has taken to sewing patterns of the Pokemon she misses and keeps them on her bedside table. She is a big fan of fiction and as soon as she has read up on all the magical texts she is interested in in the library, she will go back to them. She likes going for long, rambling walks alone.
Habits: She has a personal rule about not drinking soft drink before 12 noon. She has very scrawly handwriting. On sunny days, Emalthya carries a stick umbrella to protect herself from the sun. Emalthya is nervous around people and prefers to speak to those she knows instead of making new friends.
Likes: Sweets, apples, sewing, soft drink, Harry Potter books, the library, Pokemon, stuffed toys, black make-up, birds.
Dislikes: People in general, cats, complicated or ‘grown up’ food, mosquitoes, flies, being yelled at, crying, being made to run, people laughing at her, people laughing at her Pokemon pictures or her toys, people hiding her things.
Strengths: Emalthya is reliable and loyal. She has a vivid imagination and can think outside the box for solutions. She is fiercely protective of her things, ideas and friends. She will fight for what she believes is right and will defend even strangers from bullying or harassment.
Weaknesses: Emalthya is afraid of people in general but she will not hesitate to tell someone when they are out of line, which makes her seem loud and aggressive, as well as too enthusiastic when she is excited. She is often lonely and sad and she won't share her ideas in case people steal them.
Favorite Class: Defence against the Dark Arts
Worst Class: Potions
Boggart: Giant mosquito or swarm of large mosquitoes. Since she was a child, Emalthya has been horribly afraid of mosquitoes, even the sound they make can reduce her to tears.
Mirror of Erised: Herself, a little older, with a great big smile with open arms. Her dearest wish is to be happy and wanted.
Patronus: A large, scary looking dog with very large teeth. This creature takes the form of Emalthya’s beloved and departed dog, Morticia.
GENERAL Name: Esmereina Noelle Grint-Ramirez (Uses Esme normally) Gender: Female Birthday:April 1st House: Hufflepuff Blood Status: Muggle born Wand: Cherry, 11 1/2, Veela hair core, Slightly swishy Wand Hand: left
PERSONALITY General: -Spirited- Esme has always been a very energetic and rambunctous kid. She's always on the move and can barely sit still for school most of the time. She is often handful and tends to frustrate adults very easily. She tends to talk a mile a minute and will talk your ear off if you start up a conversation with her. She's the type of kid that when she wakes up she does so in seconds and is ready to go before anyone else has even moved out of bed. Often times people dislike her peppy personality so early in the morning so they tend to avoid her early on in the day. Otherwise they might hurt her. She herself is rather clueless to this.
Passionate- Esme is a very passion driven individual. She'll move full throttle after the things she's drawn to and won't listen to people who tell her she's not good at it. When and if she comes to the realization she's not as talented as other people she'll still stubbornly keep at it until her skill improves.
Whimsical- other kids have often found her ideas and way of talking strange, not to mention the fact that she still has an imaginary friend that she talks to. Not to mention she often puts the weirdest outfits together. Esme doesn't really care if people think she's odd, though she prefers them to call her whimsical.
Flighty- Esme tends to move from one thing to the next without really settling down. She does this with friends as well. In her defense it's a copying mechanism she's been using since she was placed in the orphanage. She realizes that people aren't always going to be around, so she tries to make as many friends as she can so if someone does go she still has someone to talk to. Though when a friend needs help with something, she'll drop everything else that's going on in order to help them deal with it. Habits: Snorting when she laughs, running her hand through her hair when she's nervous, wearing a pen behind her ear, whipping out her notebook to write down something she's seen or heard. Hobbies: Writing, acting, singing, producing funny little plays with friends Hobbies: Writing, acting, singing, producing funny little plays with friends Likes: Lots of noise, sunshiny days, joyful music, bright vivid colors, flowers, animals, having lots and lots of friends, nature, dressing up in frilly clothes Dislikes:Quietness or having to be quiet, dark dreary days, somber music, dull or black clothes, being alone, plain clothes.

Relationship with Family: Esme is really close with her fathers and tends to cling or sit really close to them when she's given the opportunity. Because of her years in the orphanage there were times she'd go into panic attacks when she thought she had been left behind. It took her awhile but she's slowly grown out of that, though her heart still races when she thinks they've forgotten her.
She is quite the doting sister to Paulo and will play anything he wants to when she's around him. She's super protective of him and won't ever let him out of her sight. She was rather sorry to have to leave him behind to attend Hogwarts, but is looking forward to when he'll get his letter to Hogwarts and attend with her.
HISTORY General History: Esme was first known as Irene in the orphanage where she was left a few days after her birth. She was raised in dismal surroundings in a very over crowded orphanage. Despite her surroundings, she grew into a very loving though strange child. No matter how hard she tried to be like the other kids she always failed and wasn't adopted until she was almost 7 years old.
When Raphael and Pere came to the orphanage looking to adopt, they were initially looking for a son and had decided on adopting five year old Paulo. However the poor boy was so shy and reserved that he didn't say a word and clung to Irene/Esme's legs and wouldn't let go. After watching how protective and close the two were, Raphael and Pere changed their minds and decided to adopt the both of them. After getting to know Esme they really fell in love with her.
Upon getting adopted Irene informed them that she didn't want to go by Irene but by Esmereina or Esme for short. It was rather amusing for Pere's mother's name was Esmerelda and figured his mother would think he had chosen the name to please her. They gave her a middle name, after Raphael's mother which rather pleased Esme. She had always wanted a pretty middle name after all.
Life with the two fathers was rather new and strange to Esme, but she rather liked it. She had more attention than ever before and appreciated being doted and loved on. Despite the fact that they tell her there's nothing she can do to earn their love, she is always doing things around the home to show her love and affection.
Esme's childhood was an active and spirited one. She kept everyone on their toes as she tended to get into everything. To keep her out of trouble her fathers got her involved in all manner of activities (mostly dramas and artistic endeavors) in hopes of wearing her out. What they didn't realize was that the petite girl they had adopted would have such an endless reserve of energy that she'd only fall asleep when they were dead on their feet.
She would sleep soundly but end up getting up at the crack of dawn and raring to go. One good thing about her helpful nature is that she'd be taking care of her younger brother and making sure he was dressed and ready to go. Although sometimes she'd end up waking him up too early and he'd be sleeping at the breakfast table or in a plateful of food.
Much to the surprise of her fathers, she was even adventurous with cooking and ended up teaching herself how to cook at a young age. Half the time they'd have odd looking food but it actually tasted good. Other times..her experimentations would end up having to be thrown away. She's become a rather good cook and enjoys cooking for her family.
She was about ten when she unknowingly used magic and nearly caused a disaster in the kitchen one morning. Thankfully Raphael came in at the right moment and was able to counter it before anyone got hurt. That night her fathers at her down and talked to her about magic and Hogwarts.
Esme was in awe and amazed to hear about magic and the magicking world. Up until that moment she had never seen or experienced any magic, as her fathers had been careful to never do it around her. They had chosen to move away from the magical world since a lot of the more traditional magical families hadn't accepted them.
She was very overjoyed to receive her acceptance letter to Hogwarts on her birthday. Since she'd have several months before the upcoming school year, her fathers started teaching her magic and instructing her on the rules. She was rather disappointed to learn that she couldn't do magic outside of school or in front of her many friends (who were muggles). While it was tough to not show off her abilities, she was able to do it well enough.
When it was closer to her leaving for school, her fathers took her off to Diagon Alley so she could get her school books and items. Her wand was a gift from her Grandmother Noelle, and she takes extremely good care of it. All her other items were brand new from the stores; her books, cloak, cauldron, potions supplies, and of course her lovely familiar Bubblegum.
When she laid eyes on the brightly colored cat, Esme knew it was the one she wanted. It wasn't all that surprising when the cat snuggled up in her arms and slept the whole way home.
Esme left for Hogwarts brimming with excitement and eagerness. Her and her fathers were there so early she was the first on the train. She spent the entire time running up and down the train talking to kids as they got on so they could satisfy her curiousity about the school. Once the train started to set off, she settled in with a bunch of other first years in a middle train, with Bubblegum sleeping on her lap.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Esme bit on her bottom lip and twisted her wand around in her hand nervously as she awaited her turn in front of the boggart. She wasn't sure what people would think of her greatest fear. It wasn't something that normal people were afraid of. By the time she got to the boggart her hand was red from all the friction.
"Are you ready Ms. Grint-Ramirez?" the Professor asked.
Esme drew in a long breath and smoothed out her skirt and steadied her wand. "Yes, fire away." She said in a determined manner, planting her feet out on either side of her.
The professor stepped away and Esme gulped, her wand wavering slightly. The boggart swirled around and the next moment Esme was surrounded in pitch darkness. She nearly dropped her wand when she heard a scream and then realized it had escaped from her own mouth. She clenched her wand, trying to think of a happy moment that would help her break free of the terrifying darkness around her.
Her hand steadied and the image grew steadier in her mind as the emotions of that day waved over her. She opened her eyes, and raised her wand again and pronounced the spell loudly. "RIDIKULUS!"
Her wand sparked and a silver stream shot out and hit the boggart, causing it to moan and shrink away from her. The darkness receded and the boggart turned into a scene of a peaceful waterfall with a rainbow showing behind it.
Esme took a deep breathe and turned to go back to her seat.
Mirror of Erised: Esme would look into the mirror and find herself surrounded by tons of smiling happy faces of all her friends and family as she accepts her certificate for teaching.
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting: Esme practically buzzed with excitement as she waited for her turn to be sorted. She had been looking forward to this day for months and months now. She had just learned about magic a few months earlier and had started to learn about the magicking world, so this was all exciting to her.
"Esmereina Noelle Grint-Ramirez," came the shrill voice of the wrinkled witch that had been calling out names of those to be sorted.
Esme squealed in delight and skipped up the stairs, her long cyan hair floating out around her. She settled into the stool, crossed her ankles and folded her hands in her lap. She lowered her eyes as the sorting hat was lowered onto her head. She wrinkled her nose at the unfamiliar musky scent wafted down.
"Ahh let's see where should you be placed young lady?" the hat inquired in an old worn voice.
Esme was startled that the hat was speaking..she hadn't really been paying all that much attention to the whole sorting process. Now she was a bit stunned that it was speaking to her and asking questions.
"Umm..I'm not sure. My father was in Hufflepuff." She supplied, hopeful that the hat might place her in that house.
"Hmm...Yes! That will be perfect to you. Hufflepuff!" the hat cried.
Esme beamed and slid off the stool and skipped over to the cheering yellow and black table and took a seat amidst the cheering kids. She couldn't wait to start making new friends.
Patronus:
A Hummingbird The reason for this is because once when she was four years old she was in the garden smelling flowers and she nearly got stung to death by a swarm of bees. If a flock of hummingbirds hadn't swooped in to scare them off..Esme might have died from that many stings. So now..when she sees a hummingbird she thinks of them as fiercely protective.
Greatest Treasure: Her familiar Bubblegum the cat. Growing up in an orphanage, it wasn't until she was ten until she got her first pet. She's always loved cats and has always wanted one for her very own. Bubblegum is her closest companion..and is always there when she needs someone to talk to.
Manner of Dress: When not in her uniform, she likes to wear all types of clothes. She loves to experiment with her wardrobe. She loves to wear Lolita and other ruffled/girly clothes. She will often only wear them when she's not outside playing hard as she hates to get them dirty. She often wears punk/grunge clothes when playing with the boys.
Favorite Class: Care of Magical Creatures, she finds all the exotic and odd creatures strangely fascinating, even the really lame ones.
Worst Class: Potions, she always is in too much of a hurry and often makes a mess of the potion she's supposed to be brewing. She'll often add too much of an item in the middle of a daydream.
GENERAL Name: Liam Osiris Linwood Gender: Male Birthday: March 27th House: Hufflepuff Blood Status: Half Blood Wand: Cedar, Phoenix feather, 13 inches, Wand Hand: Right
PERSONALITY General: Reserved- Liam tends to keep his feelings and thoughts to himself and doesn't really talk to just anyone. Most of the time he prefers to listen and mull over things before speaking. When he does speak he's usually very well spoken and what he says has a lot of thought behind it.
Passive- Liam doesn't really act fast or in haste, everything he does is done slowly and with care. He's very much a peacemaker and can often keep his brother and sister from fighting using his natural negotiating skills. Even if he has a problem he's not the type to complain about it. He's much more likely to try and figure it out on his own. When he's completely stumped then he'll seek out Maer or Leo for help, but that's usually a last resort.
Robust- Like his brother, Liam is rather tall and strong for his age. For a little while he took kick-boxing with his brother but soon grew tired of seeing people hurt in class. Liam has an unusual amount of stamina and is often going on long hikes and walks when he can.
Considerate- Liam tends to think of others ahead of himself and is often offering to help those that need a hand. A lot of times, or so his siblings have pointed out; others will take advantage of his kind nature. It's not that he really cares if people do or not as long as they really do need the help. If he finds out that they could be doing what they ask of him he gets a bit annoyed and will stop doing anything for them.
Slow Anger- Liam might be slow to anger, but this doesn't mean he can't get angry. Most of the time he shrugs off slights and can manage to keep his anger in check, but there are times when his anger bursts out at some pretty bad moments.
Habits: When in an uncomfortable situation, he'll tug on his clothes and fidget a lot. He'll rub his chin when he's thinking, or bit the his bottom lip when concentrating or deep in thought. Hobbies: Hiking, exploring the outdoors, Bird Watching, Playing football. Likes: Camouflage pants, Combat boots, Beret, Observing animals, Sports, Nature and animals, vegetables, fruit. Dislikes: eing forced to sit indoors during splendid weather, Perfumes and colognes as they make him break out in hives, Cheater, People who needlessly kill animals for sport, Being Scrutinized or compared to others, Nuts, Any type of red meat he won't eat.
FAMILY Mother: Magda Linwood, 52, Muggleborn, Witch, Stay at home mother, home educator, Hufflepuff Father: Carigan Linwood, 62, Pure Blood, Wizard, Ravenclaw Siblings: • Harris Linwood, 21, Pure Blood, Auror *Half brother* Ravenclaw • Challis Linwood, 19, Pure Blood, Wildlife Photographer *half brother* Slytherin • Orin Linwood, 15, Half-Blood, Ravenclaw • Tristan Linwood, 13, Half-Blood, Gryffindor • Maergrethe Rei Linwood, 11, Half-Blood Ravenclaw • Leoben Seth Linwood, 11, Half-Blood, Gryffindor • Casius Linwood, 9, Half-Blood, Homeschooled • Pierce Linwood,Half-Blood , 7, Homeschooled • Patrick Linwood, Half-Blood, 7, Homeschooled • Garrick Linwood, Half-Blood 5, Stays at home with mother • Jarrod Linwood, Half-Blood 3, Stays at home with mother
Extended Family: Carigan's parents are deceased and Magda's aren't involved much with the Linwood family.
Relationship with Family: Growing up with such a noisy and busy family often made him feel the one one out. He usually retreated to a quiet corner when it got too loud or went on a walk by himself outdoors. Unlike the other people in his family, Liam is an introvert.
He's pretty close to his Maer and Leo because of their odd sixth sense they share with one another. It often allows them to know or feel when one of the others is in trouble or hurt. Up until Maer was sent away, they were thick as thieves and did pretty much everything together, though Liam was usually talked into it. Liam being much more sensitive to their sixth sense actually has more of an understanding of what his sister went through. He always knows when she's having a flashback or nightmare about the place and can help calm her down or help her get out of it.
He's rather close to his father, probably because they are a lot alike and have the same love for animals. He loves to help his father with caring for animals and is planning on following in his father's footsteps one day. He's so into animals that he doesn't eat any red meat and chooses to live off of vegetables, fruits, gains and fish.
He pretty close to his older brother Challis and will often be allowed to go with him on his photo shoots in the summer. Challis has no patience for Leoben's wild antics or Maer's incessant complaining. He rather prefers the quiet triplet who can help him track down animals and stay completely still and not scare them off. Liam has also managed to find some of the rarer wild life species for him to photograph. Liam finds these trips to be relaxing and very rejuvenating, especially after being stuck with his annoying loud classmates or siblings.
Liam's family knows when to leave him alone and give him space when he needs it. If he doesn't get it he can become rebellious and reckless, sometimes even mean. He'll lash out at people to make them leave him alone. While he's patient most of the time after too much interaction and being forced to do things that test him or stress him out he'll crack.
HISTORY General History: Born on March 27th about 18 minutes after Maer, the doctors and his parents feared at fist that he was stillborn. He didn't make a sound until the doctor finally smacked him on his backside. Of the three, he was the quietest and easiest to take care of, while his siblings would be howling their lungs out for something he'd just sit and stare at everything around him. It actually took him longer to walk than the other two, him being so cautious, he would wait until no one was around to attempt walking because he didn't want to get run into or pushed down by an older rowdier sibling. They didn't even know he could walk until he was 20 months.
Liam has always been quiet and an easy child to raise, unless the other two managed to drag him in on their escapades. And even then he was reluctant to be as adventurous and was always the more cautious and had much more common sense than the other two. Though they'd often egg him on and demand he do what they were doing until he did it. And then even after he got hurt he never really blamed them for it. He'd just suffer alongside them without much complaint.
As they got older and his siblings started to do more on their own, Liam often felt left out. He never knew who to spend time with or if they even wanted him around. This is when he started to pull into himself more and became withdrawn from others and not as talkative. It was a bit alarming to his parents, but they didn't want to try anything drastic just yet. They figured he'd grow out of it so they just encouraged him to spend time with them more often.
Liam showed some initial interest in taking kick boxing lessons with Leoben but never really got into it as much as his brother did. He decided to drop it after about three months of taking the class. He just wasn't really into violence or fighting as much as Leoben. In fact, he was rather taken aback by the aggressive side of it.
Liam actually showed signs of his magic before either of his siblings, though he never told them or his parents that. When Maegrethe had the terrible encounter at the boarding school, Liam would often wake up with horrible nightmares of what was happening to her. At first he was sure it was just his imagination getting away from him, but when she wrote to them telling them how terrible the school was and how mean the teachers were that Liam realized he had seen things that had actually happened. He tried to speak to his parents about it but they didn't really pay too much attention to him about it.
They were rather stunned when they were requested by Improper Use of Magic Office at the Minstry of Magic to come to what was left of the boarding school. They found a very distraught and hysterical Maergrethe. No one could get much of anything out of her on what had happened, and no one in the school knew anything. It was Liam, who was able to give an accurate account of what had occurred and what had been done to his sister to cause her to do what she had done.
Their parents were furious and sued the school and got a rather large settlement to keep news of it out of the public eye. The family returned home where their mother started teaching her children at home out of the public eye. It was difficult but the siblings became a bit closer after this.
Liam was rather pleased when all three of them received letters to Hogwarts. He had always loved the idea of magic and having been raised around it he was very delighted to be able to learn more about it.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Liam warily approached the billowy form of the boggart his wand already in his left hand. He stood with his legs apart wondering what the boggart would turn into. He had quite a few fears, most of them ones he had never told anyone else. He was actually relieved that neither of his siblings were in this class with him. He wouldn't want them laughing at his fears or trying to make him feel better.
The boggart swirled around and morphed into a hug black bear which roared and stood on it's back legs. Liam shuddered and pulled out his wand shouting, "Ridikulous!" before the bear could try to run at him.
The next moment the bear was dressed in a bright pink and yellow polka dot collar and balancing on a huge rubber ball as it tried to juggle some green balls. Everyone in the class laughed and Liam grinned. Well that wasn't so bad.
Mirror of Erised: Liam was rather surprised when his sister grabbed him and dragged him into the castle. He could barely understand her jabbering she was talking so fast. Finally, more because it was hurting his ears than anything, Liam came to a halt and made her stop pulling him. "Can you speak a bit more slowly so I can understand you?" He asked in a low tone.
"Haven't you heard a single thing I've said? I found the Mirror of Erised, and it's wonderful! You have to try it out!" Maergrethe gushed all in one breath.
Liam found a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "What did you see?"
Maergrethe took a hold of his arm again and began to lead him to the room where the mirror was and continued to jabber on about seeing herself getting medals and graduating with top honors from school. Liam had figured as much, that was definitely something she desired over everything else. Well at least for now, he was sure her desires would change in time though.
And then the he was standing in front of the mirror and Maergrethe was askin him what he saw. Liam blinked a moment and then looked into it, concentrating on the mirror's surface.
The mirror surface wavered and the image of a mountain top came into view. Then he noticed his clothing and appearance had changed. He was now dressed in hiking clothes and had a hug pack on his back and a long walking staff in one hand. His eyes widened when he saw a small dragon curled around his neck. Whoa..he had a pet dragon? Sweet!
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting: To say Liam was overwhelmed by all the noise in the great hall would have been putting it mildly. Every noise and yell was causing him to flinch. Which meant it looked like he was having a spasm attack or worse. He tried to calm himself down as he waited to be called forward to the sorting hat, but it didn't really help when the hat was screaming out a house name every five seconds.
Liam covered his ears and tried to get to his happy place. Being such an extreme introvert, in situations like this, the only way to stay sane was to try and get the over stimulation muffled and concentrate on something better. He smiled as thoughts of being outside and images of mountains came into his mind.
The next moment he was being poked and shoved by the kids behind him. He turned around in confusion and reluctantly took his hands off of his ears. "Come on man, stop going off into la la land, it's your turn!" He heard Maergrethe call from somewhere behind him. Liam laughed at her words and turned to go up the stairs.
He must have missed his brother's being sorted, because he didn't see him in front of him anymore. He thought it was rather funny that the sorting had them arrange themselves in the opposite order they were normally in. He made his way up the stairs and plopped down on the stool.
He grimaced slightly when the hat was forced onto his head and a voice began to speak in his ears with a gravely tone. "Well..now what House is best for you? You could go with your brother into Gryffindor, though you're not really one for glory. Hmm..I know, HUFFLEPUFF!"
Liam was rather relieved by the House he had been placed in. He didn't really mind being put into a House other than his brother. Maybe he'd finally get to do what he wanted instead of being forced to do everything his brother did. For some reason Leoben was always thinking he needed to get him to join in all his games.
Liam made his way over to the Hufflepuff table and slide into an empty spot grinning at the welcome the others were giving him. Of course..if they kept it up he'd probably need to make some makeshift earplugs. The noise was just too much for his sensitive ears.
Patronus: His patronus is a gray fox.
Greatest Treasure: The old spyglass that was given to him by his older brother Challis, he uses it a lot.
Manner of Dress: When in his uniform he usually loosens his tie and rolls the sleeves up as they get too hot for him. When out of uniform he tends to wear comfortable and loose clothing that can be cleaned easily as he's often getting dirty from being outside so much.
Favorite Class:Care of Magical Creatures, he loves animals and loves magical animals even more. Mostly because his father tends to bring strange and new animals into the home to take care of them.
Worst Class: Charms, he's always pronouncing things wrong or not holding a vowel out long enough.
GENERAL Name: Maergrethe Rei Linwood Gender: Female Birthday: March 27th House: Ravenclaw Blood Status: Mixed Blood Wand: Cherry wood, Unicorn hair, 16 inches, Swishy Wand Hand: left
PERSONALITY General:Stubborn When she gets something stuck in her head, there is no arguing with her about it, she's not going to change her mind, even if what she wants to do might be dangerous. It's like trying to reason with a mule. You'll end up with something hurt and a dreadful headache.
Friendly When she wants to be, Maergrethe can be really friendly. She's interested in people and how they live and has no qualms about asking hundreds of questions to find out more about people. She loves to hang out with a person for however long it takes to figure them out, then she might gravitate to a new person once she's accomplished it. While she's friendly..she has no time for cliques or gossiping. She finds it boring..and way too beneath her.
Energetic Boy is she energetic! She loves playing games with boys because then she has the excuse to kick up her heels and play hard. Growing up with a lot of brothers has given her a harder stamina and she can play much longer than a normal girl. This also means that it takes a lot to wear her out. Even when her sleep is limited she has no problem waking up cheery and ready to play hard the next morning. Her boundless limit of energy and cheery attitude in the morning can be a mite annoying at times. And cause others to want to tie her up and shove her in a closet.
Flirty- She loves to flirt with guys and girls. Strangely she finds it funny to see girl's reactions when she flirts with them. While she's just playing at liking them at the moment, she does have some underlying attraction to other girls..which seems a bit odd to her.
Habits: Wrinkling her nose, twirling her hair, Hobbies: Collecting headbands, drawing, reading, Sports, Magic, Writing in her Journal Likes: Fantasy books, Playing elaborate war games with her brothers, The color purple, books on magic, practicing magic, Dislikes: being used as the "prisoner or damsel in distress" in her brothers' games, Being forced to clean, Being stuck inside on a sunny bright day, Constricting itchy robes, Tight new shoes that need breaking in, Schoolgirl drama...it drives her batty! Getting lost in a crowd, Being left behind or left out, Arithmancy, Rainy days, Anything frilly and pink!
FAMILY Mother: Magda Linwood, 52, Muggleborn, Witch, Stay at home mother, home educator, Hufflepuff Father:Carigan Linwood, 62, Pure Blood, Wizard, Ravenclaw Siblings: • Harris Linwood, 21, Pure Blood, Auror *Half brother* Ravenclaw • Challis Linwood, 19, Pure Blood, Wildlife Photographer *half brother* Slytherin • Orin Linwood, 15, Half-Blood, Ravenclaw • Tristan Linwood, 13, Half-Blood, Gryffindor • Liam Osiris Linwood, 11, Half-Blood Ravenclaw • Leoben Seth Linwood, 11, Half-Blood, Gryffindor • Casius Linwood, 9, Half-Blood, Homeschooled • Pierce Linwood,Half-Blood , 7, Homeschooled • Patrick Linwood, Half-Blood, 7, Homeschooled • Garrick Linwood, Half-Blood 5, Stays at home with mother • Jarrod Linwood, Half-Blood 3, Stays at home with mother
Extended Family: Carigan's parents are deceased and Magda's aren't involved much with the Linwood family.
Relationship with Family: Maergrethe is really close to her mother, mostly because they are the only females in the family. They spend a lot of time shopping and cooking, though Maer is kind of a clutz in the kitchen. She's still working on getting better at cooking though.
Since her father is constantly bringing sick animals into the house, all the kids are really good with helping him care for them. While it's normally magical animals he deals with he also tends to help ordinary animals as well and they've all had a hand in it. Maergrethe likes animals and all, but she often gets impatient with them and dislikes how dirty they can get her clothes.
She is closest to her brothers, probably because they are triplets. They sort of have this sixth sense with one another and always seem to know when one of the others is in trouble or hurt. They spend a lot of time playing these elaborate war games, and despite her protests, Maer is often used as the hostage of one of them.
Maer has had a hand in helping raise her younger brother Casius and spend a lot of time with him when her mother is busy with household things. She'll often be found reading stories aloud to him or playing puzzles and other board games with him.
HISTORY General History:
Growing Up Life inside the Linwood mansion is normally semi-controlled chaos on a good day. This pretty much means anything and everything can happen within the blink of an eye. Thankfully, the family has learned how to laugh at things and to store breakable items far from the reach of little boys hands and antics.
As for Maergrethe; she's considered one of the boys despite her being a girl. This is not what her parents had intended, but they are rather pleased with how she is turning out. Sure so she could work on her rebellious and stubborn nature but they're sure she will eventually grow out of it.
Every older Linwood child has been put in charge of one of the younger ones, thus ensuring that they learn responsibility and problem-solving. This has helped immensely in keeping the children in line as well as not becoming spoiled.
While they aren't poor; with the number of people in their immediate family, they aren't particularly rich either. They have learned to make due with what they get and to use other means to entertain themselves. The children will often spend weeks planning elaborate talent shows or plays and put them on for their parents and the younger kids.
General History: Maergrethe Rei Linwood and her brothers, were born on March 27th. She was the first of the three and the only daughter to be born to the Linwood family. She came into the world kicking and screaming and demanding attention, and she hasn't stopped yet. She learned how that to get the attention she'd have to not only talk the loudest but do the craziest things as well.
Life in the Linwood family has been loud, lively, and chaotic at times, especially with Maer around. Her brothers are rambunctious enough, but Maer can be downright wild. Which isn't always the best for the House, yard or pets. She takes great pride in attempting to outdo her brothers at everything they do, as well as two of her older brothers. She tends to lead her younger brothers into the worst trouble that can be imagined. There have been a few broken bones, concussions, and sprained joints thanks to Maer's wild games.
To try and tame her, at the age of 9, her parents sent her off to an all girl's boarding school that specialized in etiquette training. After spending two months at the place, and being disciplined rather harshly for her wild ways, Maer decided to take matters into her own hands. It wasn't a pretty sight..and the school officials were forced to close it down because of the damage she had inflicted. No charges were brought against her because of the treatment she had undergone was illegal and downright wrong. Her family sued the teachers' for what they had done, but it didn't really help Maer all that much.
Maegrethe bounced back from the ordeal rather easily and hasn't really talked about it since. Probably because she doesn't want people to think that she's ever been unhappy. She's gotten slightly less wild and reserved, but that doesn't last that long around her family.
Since she's always been surrounded by magic and magical creatures, Maer has always wanted to be a witch or enchantress. Magic is like a forbidden fruit to her, if she's told she can't do a spell or enchantment she will try even harder until she's mastered it. This kind of gets her in trouble, it doesn't make things very easy on her family, what with an Auror living next door. Maer is often being punished for using magic rather often.
She was ecstatic when she received her letter from Hogwarts, and looks forward to being able to do magic and succeeding at it. She's a bit worried that she'll end up sorted into a House with one of her brothers when all she wants to do is shine on her own. She has no idea if they feel the same way or not; though she suspects that perhaps they do.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Maergrethe was super excited! Finally, she'd be getting to see a real live boggart! She waited in line for her turn, wondering what her greatest fear would be. She had never really thought of it until now.
"Miss Linwood, any day now." the professor told her with an impatient tap of his foot.
Maergrethe was a bit embarrassed that she had been caught daydreaming. "Sorry Professor." She said blushing brightly and stepped forward to have a look at the boggart.
The boggart swirled and morphed into her, dressed in a pink party dress and tons of lace and frills all over it. It was so frilled that the dress stood out three feet from her double's body. Maergrethe gasped in anger and horror and whisked out her wand and shouted, "RIDIKULOUS!" She was satisfied when the dress's hue changed to purple and all the frills and fluff exploded.
She stepped back to regard her now purple-clad double in satisfaction. "Now that is much better." She said with a smile on her face.
Mirror of Erised: Maergrethe tiptoed down the hall, making sure to stay as quiet as she could. She didn't want someone to catch her out of the Ravenclaw dorms this late at night, as it would cause her to get detention and lose some of the House points. Still, she couldn't help but feel driven to find this mirror that showed what one most desired.
Her heart nearly leaped into her throat when she heard shuffling feet heading towards her and she held back a squeak of fear and dove behind the nearest column. She held her breath and prayed that they would walk by without finding her. She clenched her hands into fists and waited impatiently as the feet slowly shuffled off. She glanced around the corner and was relieved to see that she was once more alone.
"Whew, that was close." She exclaimed wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
She padded down the hallway in her purple fluffy slippers until she finally found the door of the room of Requirement. She was rather relieved that she hadn't had to go too far before the door had appeared to her. She had heard that a lot of people went looking for it to never find it. She figured it was because they really weren't desperate enough for it, as it only came to a person in their time of need or something like that.
Maer glanced around and then slowly and gently pushed the door open. It opened without a sound, revealing a room filled from top to bottom with an odd assortment of items. There were some old trophies in one corner, old ancient chairs, cages, old wardrobes and desks, It was kind of like walking into a flea market and not knowing where to start.
Maer glanced around and spotted a tall flat object covered with a long sheet. That had to be the mirror, she just knew it! She half skipped, half slid her way over across the shiny floor on her furred slippers and came to a stop in front of the mirror. She reached up, grasped the sheet and pulled it off to reveal a really tall glistening mirror.
She stared at it for a moment and then frowned. How come nothing was..oh wait! She was changing, growing taller and she looked as though she had finally gotten a bosom! That was definitely something to look forward to! She watched eagerly and nearly crowed with joy when she saw her older self getting accolades and trophies from the Headmaster of Hogwarts. She closed her eyes and celebrated. Oh if only it were true!
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting: Maergrethe rolled her eyes and leaned against her brother Liam as she waited to be called. Of course, she'd have to go last, as her name came after theirs in alphabetical order. It rather irked her that even though she was the first born she often had to go last, it just wasn't fair!
She sighed and tapped a foot as Leoben made his way up to the sorting hat and then turned to look at Liam thoughtfully. She had the strangest thought that they were all going to end up in different Houses. She wasn't too surprised when the hat placed her brother Leoben in Gryffindor, it seemed to fit his impetuous and super active personality. She shared that over the active side with him, unlike their brother Liam who moved so slowly and seemingly without any sort of purpose when he walked. It made her tired just watching him most days.
And then it was Liam's turn, and thankfully it didn't take the hat long to place him. He was placed in Hufflepuff; which once again suited him. He was loyal and a great friend which seemed to be the main personification of the Hufflepuff House. She waved at him as he walked super slowly over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down.
And now, it was her turn. With a big smile on her face, she stepped up the marble stairs and slide onto the stool making sure to keep her purple skirt from flipping up and showing off her underwear. Now that would have been embarrassing. She wrinkled her nose at the dank musky smell of the old black hat as it was lowered onto her head.
A sneeze escaped from her nose before she could cover it. "So sorry," She apologized to the teacher that was standing in front of her. The hat mused over her talking about the different Houses and where she might do well. Finally, after what seemed like hours it finally spat out, "Ravenclaw!"
Maergrethe grinned in triumph. Finally a House all to herself where she wouldn't have to compete with her brothers for attention. Well mainly Leoben, Liam wasn't really as much of an attention seeker. She slid off the stool and scampered over to the Ravenclaw table.
Patronus: Her Patronus would be a small bob-tailed cat.
Greatest Treasure: Her greatest treasure is a purple bound journal and a very fancy quill pen that brothers gave her for their last birthday.
Manner of Dress: She'll wear anything as long as it's purple. She usually tends to wear somewhat girly things more these days, though she does like to wear these off white purple toned jeans and a very fuzzy purple sweater when she's out of her uniform.
Favorite Class: Charms, Divination
Worst Class: Arithmancy, she just can't stand the numbers. She often gets mathematical terms mixed up..and then it gives her a terrible headache.

GENERAL Name:Keenan Silas Andruis (last name change) Gender: Male Birthday:November 4th House: Ravenclaw Blood Status:Half Blood Wand: Ebony, Phoenix Feather, 12 inches Wand Hand: Left
PERSONALITY General: Keenan gets easily distracted and this often leads to his forgetting why he has come into a room for as well as what he was looking for. He's constantly forgetting where he lays his belongings and is often searching for them. More than often it's his quill which he's stuck behind his ear that he's looking for. He gets rather embarrassed when other people point this out to him.
Keenan can be super shy around girls and is known to get tongue tied as well as bright red when a girl approaches him. Since he's not all that confident around them, he tries to avoid them when it's possible. Often times he will resort to writing notes to communicate with them, as his voice gets all high pitched and hard to hear.
Keenan can be rather clumsy and accident prone, much to his embarrassment. He's often sporting band-aids on his knees or hands, as he's not the type to go see the school nurse for a simple scrape. Because of the commonality of his accidents, Keenan learned first aid at a very young age. He's often carrying a small first aid kit around with him. Of course, this has come in handy if he sees someone get hurt he's usually the first one there to help clean them up and slap a band-aid on them. As he's not the squeamish type he's not the type to panic or freak out when someone gets hurt.
Keenan has picked up on some of his uncles' paranoid tendencies, though his are a bit more unique than others. He's afraid of girls and afraid of girls or females that might cut his hair. He is super protective of it, though no one really knows why this is. His Samson-like fear might be attributed to one of his Uncles jokingly telling him that if he were to cut his hair or allow a girl to get it cut she'd have control over him.
Keenan has always had a very keen mind and was reading at a young age, pretty much because there wasn't much else to do in his Uncles' home. Such proclaimed bachelors had no need for games or toys and hadn't thought to get him any when he was young. Instead, they showered him with old books on mythology, the supernatural and paranormal things. Keenan was enthralled to read about such things and before long was devouring every book he could get on these subjects, which wasn't hard since the entire house was a library. The one thing that fascinates him the most is the Sasquatch and how Muggles believe in them though many haven't even seen them. His room is something of a shrine to these creatures..along with other supernatural or folklore pertaining to creatures like the sasquatch. He is always striving to learn more about the creature..and when people call him a kook for believe such things..or thinking it's real he has some fast comebacks and knowledge to count against them.
Habits: Playing or tugging on the ends of his hair, shoving his glasses up with his middle finger, shoving his hands deep into his pockets when he's nervous, Rubbing his glasses on his shirt, nibbling on his bottom lip when he's in deep thought. Hobbies: Playing Harmonica, Drawing creepy animals and ghosts, reading bone chilling scary books, whittling, Researching and talking about the Sasquatch and other paranormal or supernatural creatures.
Likes: Sasquatch, Yetis, History(it was rather bloody after all and had lots of wars), Thriller/Scary books and movies, Haunted Houses (even fake ones), Roller Coasters, Supernatural creatures, Purple, Green, Slip on shoes Dislikes:Socks, washing his hair, having to wear a uniform, girls who fuss over him, kids that are too bossy, getting unsolicited advice.

Relationship with Family: Keenan has a very close kinship with his uncles who took him in when he was five years old. They all share a taste for the macabre, supernatural and downright creepy, their home reflects this. Most people believe that the house is haunted and who is to say that it isn't? Most people stay away, much to their delight. Though their mother is often intruding and taking Keenan away to learn more proper things..which he often detests, though he does anyway to please her.
Keenan has a strained relationship with his mother's family. mostly because his guardians and father's family creep them out. They never really got over the fact that their daughter was a witch, and have been in denial about it. Only his Aunt Amelia takes the time to try and take him anywhere or spend time with him. They both share a love for roller coasters and scary tales. She tends to buy him fun clothes as well as R.L. Stine books.
Despite Keenan's objections to his Grandmother's fussing over him, they have a very close relationship. He might complain about her fussing over the clothes he wears and how he takes care of his hair but he wouldn't have her any other way. While she often threatens to cut his hair when he's sleeping, he knows she doesn't mean it.
HISTORY General History: Keenan was born on a stormy November afternoon in Sussex England to Breona and Arthur Andruis the II. They lived a very happy and simple life, with Keenan's uncles often coming to spend time with their nephew. Often times they would offer to watch him so his parents could have some time alone. Sometimes they'd take them up on the offer while other times they'd send him to spend time with his grandmother Victoire or his Aunt Amelia so they could get to know him as well.
As a young child, Keenan was a very wide-eyed curious toddler and always getting into things. Even at that age, he had a strange fascination with fur and hair. He was always climbing up into the bearskin covered chair at his Uncles' home so he could feel the fur on his legs. He'd also run his fingers carefully through his mother's long black hair and sometimes even stick his nose in it and smell it.
As Keenan grew older, he was often left for long periods with his Uncles while his father and mother traveled for their jobs. This was how Keenan first got exposed to the world of the supernatural, paranormal and mythical and became a lifelong believer. He was fascinated with the work his Uncles did, even though he had no clue about them using magic to go further in finding things muggles never could.
Keenan was constantly witnessing magic on a day to day basis and learning about the differences between muggles and wizards. Often times clients would come to his Uncles' home to ask for help. At these times, Keenan was asked to go to another room so he wouldn't give anything away to them. As a four-year-old, he rather liked to blab about things he shouldn't and they really didn't want to have to adjust a muggle's memory more than once.
His uncles were so distracted with work that they didn't realize something was amiss with his parents until it was more than a week past the date they were due back from their job. Keenan at the time was five and hadn't noticed anything wrong, he was used to them not returning straight away and letting him stay longer with his Uncles. While Damian entertained and cared for Keenan the other two got to work in contacting the people his parents worked with and then the Ministry of Magic. When only their belongings, which were nearly charred to ashes were discovered it seemed to be a horrible tragedy where they had gotten eaten by dragons. The brothers thought otherwise but knew it wiser not to contradict the Ministry of Magic in their ruling the death as an accident.
Keenan's upbringing was taken over by his Uncles, and his grandmother and Aunt Amelia. The five-year-old spent the majority of his time with his bachelor Uncles, where they taught him all manner of interesting and amusing things. Of course..some of what they taught wasn't school appropriate, but Keenan loved every moment of it. When he entered grade school for the first time he was avoided because of his stuttering and odd behavior. It wasn't as though Keenan cared..as long as he was able to learn about his precious Sasquatch and do what he wanted after school he didn't care what kids thought.
He became the oddball kid that was avoided and yet always asked for favors. Keenan, after all, was super smart and could figure out the math, and other subjects that they found hard super fast. School subjects were easy, but social situations weren't so much. He was often talking about his latest find on Sasquatch folklore during dances or moments when he couldn't think of anything to say.
Keenan had been taught about Hogwarts from a young age, so when he finally started to do magic, under the semi-watchful eye of his Uncles in their home he was enthusiastic and looking forward to attending the school. Since his birthday fell after the cutoff date of the beginning of the school year, Keenan got several extra months to practice spells and charms and read up on the school books he'd need. By the time the next term rolled around, he was ready to get started. With his valise, and his cat Mungojerrie's cage in one hand, Keenan boarded the train early on an August morning. He dutifully waved goodbye to his teary-eyed grandmother and his Uncles cheerful farewells and eagerly awaited his first sighting of the famed school.
Parent's History When Arthur and Breona knew each other for years at Hogwarts and were good friends and study partners during their school years. It was during their last year when Breona threw caution to the wind and kissed Arthur for the first time. Arthur was rather shocked that the quiet shy girl he had known felt that way about him and it threw him for a loop. It didn't help matters that he found he had feelings for her in return. Arthur's father had already betrothed him to a girl who had gone to Beauxbaton a few years earlier..he was supposed to marry her after working with his father for three years in his company.
Arthur struggled against the feelings he had for Breona and what he felt were his duties and obligations to his father. In the end, love won over obligation. Instead of returning home from Hogwarts, Arthur eloped with Breona and they got married in secret in Ireland. When they returned home, Arthur Senior was furious. He told his son the only way he would accept him back into the family and allow him to remain his heir would be if he were to get a divorce and throw his wife aside.
Arthur firmly told him that it wasn't going to happen, and if his father wanted him to work at the company he would do that. His father coldly told him there was no job for him and that he would have to find another way of supporting his wife. The young Arthur was scared but wasn't going to let his father know this and left his father's home and the two made a life for themselves in a small town far from his family.
It was a surprise when his younger brothers showed up a few weeks later with their belongings and made themselves at home in the couples' home. The eldest of them explained that since Arthur had stood up to their father, their mother was doing the same. She was in the process of divorcing him and getting things set up for her to move close by. Arthur and Breona were a bit annoyed that the three younger sons were planning on staying with them, only for the boys to laugh and explain they had a mansion being built nearby where they would live. They only wanted to use the back yard for a tent until it was ready. Also..since they had bought the cottage and land where Arthur and Breona were living they were their landlords.
Arthur wasn't very amused with his brothers and asked where they had gotten the money to do such things. They just laughed and said it was an inheritance from their Great Uncle who had recently pass away. They also assured the couple they weren't going to ask for rent or payment but wanted the couple to live there for free. After all, they didn't really need any money. They also presented the couple with what would have been Arthur's share of the inheritance, since because of the marriage their Great Uncle had written him out of the will.
With the money and the freedom to do whatever they wanted, Arthur and Breona went through extensive training so they could become researchers for the training of dragons. They were accepted and widely known for their work. They probably would have kept traveling all over with their work if Breona hadn't discovered she was pregnant. They decided to work on writing an extensive book on dragons and their breeding practices while they had a young son to take care of.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Keenan took a deep breath as the line between him and the boggart grew shorter. He tried to pay attention to the other kids' fears..though he didn't find them amusing or funny in any way. Sure so anyone would be afraid of being surrounded by darkness..or spiders. Those were normal. He was sure that the other kids would be laughing at his fear.
He knew it shouldn't matter what other kids thought of his fear, but well..he just hoped it wasn't going to give anyone any ideas. Particularly any of the Ravenclaw girls that had already made some comments about his unruly hair. He tugged on the ends of his hair as if to reassure himself and heard the teacher say his name.
Keenan looked up and gulped, the boggart was already morphing into his fear. He pulled out his wand, and tried to think of something funny to turn it into. When the boggart settled, he groaned. It was an almost mirror image of himself, only his doppelganger's hair looked as though it had been buzzed cut and a white prominent part was down the exact center of it. How utterly disgusting looking! He shuddered in disgust and whipped his wand up, shouting, "RIDIKULOUS!" nearly at the top of his voice.
The spell hit the boggart causing it to bowl over on the floor, and then it was covered in long curly purple fur from head to toes. Keenan laughed as it stood up and looked at its self in puzzlement. The other kids in the room were flabbergasted as they had never seen such a creature before. Keenan had to actually tell them, "It's a purple sasquatch duh." Then he moved to take a seat back at his desk.
Mirror of Erised: Keenan was once again on the run from a horde of girls. Why was it they were always trying to do things to his hair? He thought as he ran wildly down the halls, trying to find somewhere to hide from them.
When he had just about given up hope he was surprised to see a door on a wall that he had passed many times before that had never been there before. Without even thinking about it, Keenan wrenched the door open and slide inside, closing it as quietly as he could. He stood near the door, with his ear on it listening and waiting until their footsteps faded away.
He was about to sneak back out when he felt the pull of something magical in the room behind him and whirled around. At first, there was nothing there that struck him as magical..but then there was a faint glow from what appeared to be a large mirror covered with a long white sheet.
Keenan pulled it up part way and peered under. The mirror shone, glimmered once more, causing him to pull the sheet up further to get a better look at it. That's when he was stunned beyond words. The room around him had faded in the mirror's surface and now it looked like he was standing in some far secluded forest..a forest that no one had ever been in.
His eyes zeroed in on a shape moving behind his image in the mirror and as the figured grew closer and he realized what it was a loud shriek of excitement came out of his mouth, echoing in the room around him. "Oh no!" he whispered wincing and glanced around the room. Surely no one had heard that? He reached out to touch the shimmery surface wishing he could switch places with himself in the mirror, where he was meeting a Sasquatch for the very first time.
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting: Keenan brushed his slightly stringy wet hair out of his face and peered around the castle. He stared in awe up at the ghost floating over them. When he had heard there were ghosts living in the castle that actually spoke to people he had nearly passed out in shock. Now that he was here..he was tongue tied and amazed by the presence of them.
"Why hello there young sir, welcome to Hogwarts!" A rather cheerful ghost told him floating down in front of him and then pulled his head nearly off his shoulders in salute.
Keenan couldn't help but smile and salute the ghost smartly ignoring the shocked gasps and a few shrieks from several girls close to him.
"Thank you kindly, I'm glad to be here," he replied eagerly. "I've waited for ages to actually see a ghost. My uncle.."
Here Keenan was interrupted by the instructor that was escorting them to to the Great Hall.
"That's enough talk for now dear, time to get to the sorting." The tall woman told him and beckoned him forward with a hand.
"Don't worry lad, I'll find you later and we can talk some more! I'm Sir Nicholas." The ghost replied with a wink.
Keenan nodded and followed after the other kids, a bit miffed that he had to wait to talk to the ghost until later. He imagined it would have bee much more entertaining and informative than standing around and waiting to get sorted. Sorted..it sounded like a stupid game kids did in preschool.
Luckily for Keenan he didn't have to wait too long to be called.
"Keenan Silas Andruis" Called the teacher from up on the left side of the stage where all the other teachers were seated.
Keenan shuffled through the crowd of kids to the front and made his way up to the stool. He sat down, even though he didn't really want to be seen by the entire room. His cheeks darkened slightly as he felt his stomach start to grow wobbly.
"Well now..where to put you..." A dry old voice came from somewhere above him.
Keenan started and then realized that it was an old Wizard's hat that was speaking. Oh, of course, he should have remembered. His Uncles had told him about an old wizen hat that sorted kids into different Houses.
"No...not Gryffindor, that wouldn't do. Nor would Slytherin..you don't really have the spirit or cunning for that house. With your curiosity and drive, I'd say that you'd do well in RAVENCLAW!" the hat pronounced loudly causing Keenan to nearly fall off the stool.
He was saved by the teacher standing next to him who caught him by his arm and helped him to the ground. "The Ravenclaw is the blue and bronze one." The lady whispered and gave him a slight push with her hand.
Keenan was surprised to hear the room clapping and shouting in celebration as he made his way over to the table. He was even further startled when he approached the table and was nearly keeled over by enthusiastic slaps to his back. He managed to get to an empty spot without falling over and shot a small grin to those who were sitting next to him.
Patronus: He had hoped it would be a Sasquatch, but his Patronus is a big furry dog.
Greatest Treasure: Keenan's would consider his Sasquatch tooth and patch of fur his greatest treasures. His uncle Damian got them for him from a man that actually saw it. He even got to visit the man in America and see the place where the Sasquatch was seen.
Manner of Dress: He's often found with his shirts' untucked and his pants smudged with the charcoal that he draws with. His tie is normally untied and hanging around his neck or shoved into one of his pockets. Often his shoes are untied and he prefers slip on shoes to ones that tie. They take too much effort.
Favorite Class: History of Magic, it's pretty creepy and bloody and full of wars. Things that he likes. He also doesn't mind Care of Magical Creatures as the animals are interesting, not to mention creepy and strange.
Worst Class: he doesn't really have any worst classes, just some that don't interest him as much as others. Like Diviniation.
GENERAL Name: Aglaia Caitriona Halloran Gender: female Birthday: October 31st House: Gryffindor Blood Status: Half Blood Wand: Hawthorne, dragon heartstring core, 13 inches, quite springy Wand Hand: Right
PERSONALITY General: Confident- Aglaia is very sure of herself and what she is capable of. She's satisfied with who she is and doesn't really pay mind to people who say otherwise. Her self worth is not tied up in what she has or what other people think.
Fierce- She is fiercely protective of her fellow house mates and friends, she won't allow others to put them down or get away with bullying them. If she's challenged she'll accept, she won't walk away from any fight. She sees that as being weak. This can at times prove to be bad for her, especially when there is a group of kids that could gang up on her.
Obstinate- Aglaia is as stubborn as a mule, seriously. When she makes up her mind about someone or something no amount of reasoning will change her mind. Any sort of sudden change is hard for her to accept. She will need a lot of time and exposure to an idea or new place before she can come to accept it.
Boy crazy- She can often fixate on a boy and follow him around, discretely of course, for ages before actually letting him know she likes him. When she's obsessed with a boy her grades, other activities and friendships will suffer greatly because of all the time she's spending following him around. She can often become stalker like if the boy doesn't return the feelings. Habits: Gnaws on her fingernails when she's nervous. She grinds her teeth at night or when she's angry. The noise can be very noticeable. When she's in a particularly happy mood she'll go around and smell random kid's hair.

Extended Family: *will work on later* A great great Aunt, Uncles, Aunts, lots of cousins.
Relationship with Family: Aglaia, or Aggi as her family calls her has a very close knit family. They always tend to get too involved in each other's lives and are super nosy about everything. So when she has a chance to sneak off to get a moment for herself she'll jump on it. Not that she does it all the time.
She's rather proud of her fun and sometimes eccentric family and hates when others make fun of them. Her mother's strange manner of dress may be embarrassing and her father's ever changing hat collection seems to be bottomless and really quirky.
There's also the matter of her red headed twin brother's fascination with machines and their need to experiment on them One never knows whether the toeaster will belch fire or let loose a stream of sludge at breakfast.
And of course there's her Great Great aunt Gerta that Aggi believes to be part Hag, not that this is true. Aggi has a hard time knowing what Gerta tells her is true or just a joke..as she never changed her tone of voice. The worst thing is Aggi has to share a room with her. Try to sleep with Gerta's horrible snores and you'd go bonkers.
Aggi is close to everyone in her family; perhaps a bit closer to her Great Great Aunt cause Gerta lives in the same room as she does. She spends a lot of time helping care for the elder cantankerous old lady. She often wonders if Gerta is just acting at being an invalid.
HISTORY General History: Born in mid morning on the day of Halloween to mixed blood parents, the dark haired green-gray eyed baby was dubbed Aglaia Caitriona Halloran. She was rather big for Hollis' first child at 10 pounds 6 ounces and was 13 inches long. At first Nyle Halloran thought she might be showing off some of the giant blood that was in his ancestry, but when she didn't grow at an exceeding rate it was decided she was just a big baby.
She was not an easy first child for the new parents. She was constantly fussing and never really slept the whole night through. It wasn't until she hit 14 months that she began to sleep long periods of time. As a toddler she was constantly butting heads with her parents and was very willful. She never did understand the concept of "No" very well.
As she got older however, she mellowed out. She wasn't as demanding or as hyper. She would spend more time cuddling and being close to her parents, when at first she'd struggle to get away from them.
When she turned three and a half, her mother discovered she was pregnant with twins. Aglaia actually liked the idea of having siblings and would spend hours sitting with her head on her mother's stomach and trying to listen for any movements they might make. She'd even insist on singing to them and making her mother not move at all. She did her best to "care" for her mother when she was bed ridden for the last two months.
When her brothers were born and she saw them for the first time she was in awe. She'd touch their soft heads gently and croon songs to them to calm them down. She was a constant helper to her parents for the next year or so. Around the time they began to walk and get into her things she lost interest in them and started doing more stuff on her own.
She started school that fall and turned six a few month's later. She excelled rather well in making friends and did pretty well in class. She often would get in trouble for being too rough with the other kids or getting mad at kids who changed seats too often. She would also get in trouble for being too over affectionate with the boys in her class.
At nine years old, she started showing signs of having magic. If she got upset things in the room would explode or suddenly fly across the room. Her parents hated to withdraw her from a school that she loved but knew that it would only get worse. Thankfully she realized what was going on because her parents had always been up front with her about Magic.
She ended up attending classes with five other kids in the village to finish her elementary years. They like her, were starting to show signs of magic and couldn't really stop accidents from occurring. She had a lot of fun since the other kids were all boys and really enthralled with her. This is when she started to think more about her appearance and doing more about how she looked.
Aglaia was overjoyed when the owl arrived the evening of her birthday with her Hogwart's letter. Somehow, the poor owl had gotten lost and her letter had gotten delayed; She had been watching and waiting for it all day long. She ripped it open and danced happily around in her witch's costume singing, "I'm going to Hogarts" over and over. The other kids at her birthday party stared at her in envy and annoyance.
She was a bit miffed when she learned she'd have to wait an entire year before she could actually go to the school. At least it gave her and her family the time to plan a trip to England so they could get all her school supplies. Much to her dismay and annoyance, her Great-great Aunt Gerta insisted on going with them.
When they finally got to England, in June of the next year they spent time touring and seeing as many sights as they could. Aglaia was rather alarme and annoyed to learn that her parents' were planning on moving everyone to England. She was not very happy that part of the vacation was spent looking at homes. She was somewhat placated when they told her she'd have a vote on what house they bought. After looking at a dozen or so houses they finally found the perfect one.
From the outside it looked very much like the house they had left in Ireland but once you stepped inside it was three times as vast. It had six bedrooms and three bathrooms..which was a definite plus from their last home. Now she could have her own room but she'd have to share a bathroom with her Great-great Aunt Gerta.
The rest of the summer was spent moving the rest of their belongings from Ireland to t heir new home. Finally by the middle of August everyone was moved in. Aglaia rather liked her new room, but was a bit sad that she wouldn't get to enjoy it all that much, since she'd be leaving for Hogwart's in two weeks. She spent the rest of her summer working on some knitted scarves for her brothers' and her father. She was able to finish them; with a little help, the night before she left.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Aglaia's boggart would be a hag. She's heard so many terrifying stories about them from her Great Aunt that she's terrified of them. So when the boggart is in front of her, she sees a hag with bulbous nose, warts, and green slimy teeth. When she uses her Patronus against it, the hag's warts turn into toadstools and her nose becomes a carrot.
Mirror of Erised:
Aglaia was still rather surprised that she had found the room of requirement. She continued to walk around admiring the strange and exciting items that were stored in the room. Her eyes alighted on a tall item that was covered by a long white sheet. Her curiousity now piqued, she grabbed hold of the sheet and pulled it up to see what was underneath it.
The shiny surface of a mirror gleamed as her candle flame hit it. Aglaia pulled the sheet off to get a closer look. She was momentarily stunned when she caught sight of the familiar faces of her younger twin brothers in the mirror. They were a bit older, but she could recognize them readily enough. After a moment of staring she realized her appearance had aged a bit, and that her two brothers were glancing at her affectionately.
What was going on? Why were they looking at her that way? They normally never had time for her nor did she think they thought kindly of her. Mostly because she was always ragging them out about one of the experimentations.
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting: Aglaia waiting with her arms crossed and her left foot tapping impatiently. What was the reason for all this sorting business? It's not like it really mattered. She could have told you that she'd be a Gryffindor..since she took so much after her father. It wasn't bloody likely that she'd get put in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Well..there was always that chance she could be put in Hufflepuff but that was kind of far fetched for her because she was much more suited for Gryffindor, everyone in her family had said so.
And finally, her name was called, "Aglaia Caitriona Halloran." With a sigh of relief, she stepped up the marble steps and climbed up onto the stool. Gosh, was this unnecessary, she should have just asked for them to put the hat on her head. It would have been over in seconds instead of minutes that way.
She wrinkled her nose at the slight dusky smell of the old hat as it was placed on her head. Great..now she'd have to wash her hair again. She hated it smelling like anything other than the cherry pomegranate scented shampoo she loved to use.
"Well now you are right, you're definitely a Gryffindor." The hat spoke to her.
Aglaia grinned, "Yes so I am. No need to draw this out dear old hat." She whispered back.
"Well then by all means, GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted out.
With a happy grin, Aglaia jumped down from the stool and made her way over to the rejoicing Gryffindor table. She happily accepted the shaking hands and the welcomes from the other Gryffindors as she took her seat. It was definitely going to be a fun seven years in this House.
Patronus: Aglaia gripped her wand tightly as the boggart began to spin and morph into a figure in front of her. Oh no, it had turned into a hag! A hag that looked a lot like her. Gritting her teeth, she brandished her wand and yelled, "Expecto Patronum!" A silvery muskrat popped out of the stream of magic and whirled around the Boggart, changing it's features ever so slightly and Aglaia couldn't help but laugh. The hag, was now a female scarecrow with button eyes, mushrooms on her face in place of the moles and a carrot nose!
Greatest Treasure: Her knitting needle set her mother and Great Great Aunt gave her. It's got circular needles (for hats), double pointed needles (For socks and hats) and long ones for scarves.
Manner of Dress: When not in her school uniform or not trying to attract the attention of boys, Aglaia wears clothes that are comfortable. She's got these super soft white and gray jeans that she wears all the time. She's got her favorite scarf that her mother made for her out of gray cashmere that she wears when it's cool outdoors, though sometimes she'll just wear it because she feels like it.
Favorite Class: Divination, She actually has a talent for it, much to her surprise. She supposes it's because of her heritage. It can sometimes scare her with how accurate it is.
Worst Class: Potions, she just can't seem to get them to come out right. She somehow tends to hurry through mixing potions..and often makes them explode.
