Name: Francis Neal Caffrey
Gender: Male
Birthday:October 4th
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Hawthorn, 10 ½ inches, Phoenix feather core
Wand Hand: Right

PERSONALITY
General:
Francis is a very highly imaginative kid, he tends to come up with tall tales and share them with other kids. He can have the tendency to hype up other kids or scare them with how elaborative and descriptive his stories are. He often regrets it later when the kids are freaking out and has to explain that he's just been having fun with them.

Francis has learned to be super secretive because of his two older sisters who like to pry into what he does. He finds them mildly irritating at times and often wishes they'd leave him alone.

He is one of those complex people, he can be social and antisocial at different times. It kind of gives him a sort of random and erratic tendency to the kids around him who don't know what to make of it. He will often try to let people know when he's having anxiety so they don't overwhelm him too much.

He is kind of picky with who he chooses to open up with, which makes some people find him mysterious. Those he shares more of himself with find him charming and friendly, and very generous. He's also very resourceful and will help his friends find ways of figuring out problems when they need help with things.

He tends to remember everything he’s read, mostly because he has to read things three times. He’s got OCPD and has to organize things all the time. He often tunes other people out when he’s concentrating. He likes to look in on groups of people and study them; imagining himself as part of the group but he’s more the type to hang out with two people at a time. Large groups tend to bring out his anxiety more.

He is very protective of his younger sister and his close friends. If they are getting shoved around or bullied in some way he'd stand up and confront the people doing it. He's not much of a fighter, but will often try to reason logically with the people who are picking on his friends. Often times he's found while he doesn't convince them he can distract them long enough for his friends to get away.

Habits: He has the tendency to repeat actions three times every day. He’s a bit finicky about his clothes if they aren’t straight or have wrinkles he gets really upset and has to change. He reads and rereads things over and over, and does the same with writing. It’s a habit that actually helps him remember things. Will talk to himself and make up stories out loud..which can cause people to stare at him.

Hobbies: Storytelling, hanging out with friends, People watching, sketching animals and people; writing stories, playing chess or other board games, reading.
Likes: Damp cool days, winter, Fall, learning, curling up with a good book, organizing, fantasy, fish.
Dislikes: Anything that brings up his allergies: blooming flowers, grass, dust, pollen, cat and dog fur, nuts, etc. Sports..they make his asthma really bad, and speaking in front of large groups.

Relationship with Family:
Francis had a delightful childhood, he had the run of the house and everyone wrapped around his little finger before he could walk. He was a precocious and charming child and has never really changed from that. he and his mother Fayette were practically inseparable. He was highly imaginative and a silly kid, much to the delight of all. He loved it the most when his mother would enhance his outrageous stories with illusions or bring inanimate items to life around the House. It didn't take him long to catch on and start doing it himself, much to the surprise and delight of his parents. They were careful to teach him to not do it in the public and restrict it to the home.
His older twin sisters, Frieda and Frayda loved to spoil him and dote on him. They also loved to play with his long hair and put it up in bows and ribbons as well as dress him up in their old dresses. He was a rather congenial and easy going kid so he never fought it, and would play whatever they wanted to play as long as they'd let him do want he wanted later on.
His father Frederic was a much more reserved parent but sill made sure to spend time with him when he got older. He would take the time to patiently teach Francis all about the outdoors and everything in the world around him. Francis loved learning about the outdoors and would take a journal to record everything in multiple sketch books. When Francis had questions about something he would always go first to his father, as he saw him as a fountain of knowledge.
Evenings were spent as a family around the fireplace playing guessing games, or sharing stories. Often they would have story competitions, the most elaborate and imaginative would win a special prize. This encouraged Francis to write and create his own stories and to use his imagination.
During the Summer when Frederic could get off of work as an auditor for a large lawyer's firm they would go on vacations all over Europe. Most of their vacations consisted of educational stops; as the Caffrey parents believed in always encouraging learning in their kids.

HISTORY
General History:
Born in Essex, London on a rainy dreary day, Francis brought sunshine and happiness to Sarah and Frederic Caffrey. They were very protective of Francis, due to their first son Fingal dying at a young age. Like his deceased brother Francis has asthma and extreme allergies to pollen, nuts and dogs.
To prevent any bad experiences with his allergies his parents kept him home where they could keep a close eye on him and taught him up until first grade. Not knowing what school would be like, Francis finally convinced his parents (with his sisters’ help) to let him go to one. They sent him to a private school where the teachers and staff could better handle any problems he might have.
He hated every moment he was in the school, though he didn’t say anything for the longest of times. He was bullied terribly and had a rough time of it at the private school with sports being extremely emphasized. He had a few close calls with his asthma, much to his frustration; apparently when he got worked up about how he was treated it would trigger his asthma terribly.
Not wanting to be labeled a snitch, he bore it without a word for several years. Finally his twin sisters discovered what was going on one day when they came to pick him up from school and caught three kids picking on him. Without thinking they turned the three boys into toads to teach them a lesson. It was with much trepidation that the three Caffrey kids discovered that the headmaster of Francis’ school was actually a wizard and had seen what had happened. He took the spell off his students and erased the incident from their minds.
Francis’ sisters could have been expelled from Hogwarts for using their magic in the Muggle world, but were spared this fate when the Headmaster defended them. While their use of magic was wrong, they were defending their younger brother who was being tormented. The whole ordeal was an eye opener for Francis and his sisters. They have all been careful not to let their tempers get the better of them.
Francis has always been exposed to magic and has even been allowed to practice simple spells under his parent’s watchful eyes. After the incident at his school, they pulled him out and started teaching him at home again, much to his relief. He rather liked learning about the magicking world and what was going on in it. He can hardly wait until he can join his sisters at Hogwarts.
He’s completely psyched and overjoyed when on his 11th birthday he receives his acceptance letter to Hogwarts. The only drawback is he has to wait for 10 months before he can actually go! It’s the only time he’s regretted having an October birthday. He’s waiting as patiently as he can, and pouring over his sisters’ old magic books to prep himself for his first year at school.

MISCELLANEOUS
Boggart:
Seeing himself during an extremely bad asthma attack that can’t be stopped. Or his youngest sister actually being a squib and getting picked on..like he fears she might be.

Mirror of Erised:
If he were to look into the mirror he would see himself as a healthy and adventuring wizard traveling the world and seeking out new and wondrous magical creatures.

The Sorting:
Francis wrapped his arms around himself and shuddered, the ringing sounds of laughter and chattering voices was too much. Why did there have to be soo many people present during the sorting? Why couldn’t they make it a private deal? It’s not like they needed to see the person get the hat stuck on their head. With how loud the hat yelled they would have still heard it even if the whole thing was done inside a steel vault at Gringotts. Only one more person to go and it would be his turn.
Francis was getting a bit apprehensive about what was coming up. He hated when people looked at him, and in a few seconds a sea of faces would be turned his way. He rather hoped that it would go by quickly..and not be as drawn out as the last person’s was.
“Caffrey, Francis” Called out the teacher with the list. Francis turned bright red and stumbled up the steps shaking slightly. Gods..why did there have to be so many of them?
He turned around so he was facing the crowd and dipped his eyes low so he wouldn’t have to look out on the rancous kids hooting and calling at him. He could almost hear it now. “Francis? That’s a girl’s name!” He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Didn’t they know that Francis had been a guy’s name long before it was used for a woman? Diwits. They knew next to nothing about names..or what they meant.
“Hmm..” Came a voice in his ear, which rather startled him. “Well then where should I place you? You’re something of a mystery.”
“Just put me some place I’ll be left alone and not bullied.” Francis replied softly.
“Hmm…well now that won’t do. You’re something of a dreamer..and a challenge. I know..Gryffindor would fit you perfectly! Though..you’re not much of a sporting type. Still it would do you some good to be in that House. You have courage and you’re the protective type so it works out rather well.”
Francis stood there numb as the Hat yelled out loudly, “Gryffindor!” He was startled to hear cheering from the Gryffindor table as he slowly walked over. They were actually happy to get him? Seriously? Didn’t they know he sucked at games? That he couldn’t even be outside during the spring or summer because of his asthma? Francis completely forgot about all his limitations when he was greeted cheerily by the entire table and thumped on the back enthusiastically by a seat mate.
“We got a Caffrey! Yes!”
Oh right. He had forgotten that his twin sisters were notorious at Hogwarts. That they excelled at everything. That explained it all. Francis groaned and laid his head down on the table. The darn hat had gotten it completely wrong. Drat.


Patronus:
He won't be able to do a full blown patronus until he's around 15 or older, His Patronus will be a jack rabbit.

Greatest Treasure:
His Familiar Horace the Frog. It was given to him by his family on his 11th birthday.
Francis stared at the box that was thumping around on the living room floor and then looked up at the expectant faces of his sisters and his parents. He finally reached for it and pulled the brightly papered box into his lap and untied the bright green bow. He slowly slid the lid up to peek inside. For a moment he sat there blinking, not sure what the big eyed creature staring back at him was. Then it hit him. It was a frog! Or was it a toad? He reached in and pulled it out. The smooth soft reptilian skin felt amazing..and he slowly pet the frog across it’s back.
The frog ribbited and glanced up at him with strangely intelligent eyes. Francis smiled and laid the frog back in the box. “Thanks Mum and Dad.” He said shooting them a grateful smile. He knew that any type of furred familiar would have caused him to break out in hives..and that wouldn’t have been fun to experience on his birthday so a frog was a nice surprise.
“You should thank your sisters as well. They helped us pick him out.” His mother replied with a smile.
“Are you going to name him?” Asked his youngest sister Fiona eagerly.
Francis glanced over at her. “Of course I am! I just have to think it over for awhile.”
Frieda and Frayda his older twin sisters laughed. “Yeah, you know Francis. He’s the thoughtful one, remember?” They asked in unison.
“Conscientious is more like it.” He replied, and glanced around at the other packages on the floor in the front room. “Is there an aquarium for him? He can’t live in the box for more than a day at most.”
“Well blast, I knew we forgot something!”

Manner of Dress:
Impeccable and proper attire, as he hates wrinkles his clothes are always perfectly pressed. It’s a skill he learned from his mother while being taught at home. He tends to shine his shoes every night before bed; which the other kids will probably make fun of.

Favorite Class:
Care of Magical Creatures, mostly because they enthrall him and he loves to learn about animals..even if he can’t really be around them due to his allergies. There are some however that doesn't bother him..much to his surprise.

Worst Class:At the moment none, but once he gets to flying he's going to have difficulty with it. Most classes will be a headache for him cause he has to read everything three times over to retain it.

House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Muggle born
Wand: Birch, Dragon heart string, 10 inches
Wand Hand: Right

PERSONALITY
General:
Nahuel has a very easy going manner and is never in a hurry for anything or anyone. Not much in life causes him worry and it takes a lot to offend him. He tends to accept people and situations as they are (or come) and doesn't stress out over them. Often times this carefree laid back mentality comes across as though he's unambitious or that he doesn't really care. This is untrue, Nahuel is very ambitious. He just doesn't let it consume his every moment. He's more of the slow and steady and a long term planner/ He likes to take his time so he gets things right.

Nahuel is a very agreeable sort and has no qualms about letting others take the lead. Some would think that his allowing others to take charge makes him a pushover. He just likes to see how others take charge and to learn from them. Whenever he sees the leader having difficulties he has no problem suggesting alternatives and plans to help them succeed in the task. His easy going nature and readiness to help others makes him well liked and admired by others.

His compassionate nature causes him to reach out to aid those who are having problems. He judges people on who they are, not based on house or rumors that may be said about them. He has a strong sense of empathy for others and doesn't care to listen to other's opinions.

Despite his being open to helping others and being empathetic, his fear of large groups tends to keep him from socializing with a lot of people at once. He tends to keep a lot of his thoughts and opinions to himself and not talking much in class. When he does speak it's usually a very insightful and deep answer or question

Relationship with Family:
Nahuel has a very close relationship with his grandfather. When he was little he would follow him everywhere, he was often called his little shadow because of this. He learned how to do many useful tasks and skills under his grandfather's gentle teachings.

Despite being an only child, Nahuel is super close with his cousin Zya, they are the same age and often get into mischief together.



HISTORY
General History:
Born to a mixed race gypsy mother and a mapuche native in Chile Argentina, For the first seven years of his life his parents lived with his father's tribe. That time he spent growing up learning about his father's culture and learning all about their cultural traditions. Even though he was an only child, he had cousins close to his own age that were like siblings to him. They would often get into mischief together, and have a lot of fun hunting and tracking animals.

A little after his seven birthday, his mother got the traveling bug and decided it was time to travel to Europe where her gypsy family had ended up. Nahuel said a rather sad farewell to his cousins, Zya especially, and left with his parents to learn more about his mother's family. The more nomadic life style of his mother's people was a bit odd to him at first, but he quickly became enamored with them.

It was while with the gypsy's that he started to learn about the magical world, as his mother's was quite magical. He learned a lot of useful things under their guidance albeit in a rather non-traditional way but it worked for him rather well.

At some point the family found themselves in England, and ended up staying there for over 8 months helping other migrants and other gypsies who had health problems and had no way of getting care from other healers. A lot of the migrants had come from other countries, some pretty far and had brought sicknesses and other diseases with them that local healers and doctors had never seen before. For about ten months, he and his father helped her with her work. He learned a lot about healing magic and herbs during the time, which he still uses.

It was a bit strange to live in one spot for so long without moving around. However it helped him learn English rather well and made him curious as to the talk about a magical school called Hogwarts by the hospital's workers.

His eleventh birthday was rather memorable, as that was the day he and his parents were visited by an old wizard and a half giant with a letter that invited him to attend a magical school. Up until that day he had been doing a few gypsy spells under the watchful eye of his relatives.

It took a few days of his parents discussing and thinking it over before they decided to send him to Hogwarts. Nahuel was curious and eager to go to a school with kids his own age and the opportunities that Hogwarts might give him. Though the ideas of rules and structure in learning didn't appeal to him all that much. He felt rather lucky that he had already learned English and had a knack at learning new languages.

Having never been in any sort of town before, he was rather shell-shocked when he and his parents were escorted by the half giant to Diagon Alley. The noise and the hustle and bustle were almost too much for his over sensitive ears, he spent the majority of the time there with his hands over his ears. He was a bit surprised by all the school books, supplies, and clothes that were required. The shoes he waited until the last minute to slip on, after 11 years of going barefoot or wearing mocassins he was not happy to have to wear them.

His departure on the train to get to Hogwarts was rather nerve wracking to him. He spent the ride with wide eyes just listening to the kids talking around him. He had no clue what to think of all the fast chattering and happy kids around him. Though it reminded him of his cousins.

MISCELLANEOUS
Boggart:
Nahuel wasn't so sure he was ready to face the boggart after seeing all the other kids' fears and them confronting them. He had an idea of what he might see and didn't really want to be confronted by it. He held his arms around himself as he got closer and closer to the boggart. Finally, he was in front of it and he eyed the black floating creature with trepidation filling him. The creature began to spin and swirl for several long moments and it split off into several pieces and they took on the faces and forms of his cousins. The next moment their eyes changed into feral looking yellow eyes and they started shifting into monster forms of them, covered in different furs and their teeth turning razor sharp.

They snarled and started to draw closer to him. Nahuel's wand jumped into his hand almost of it's own accord and he brandished it trying to get a happy thought into his head. Then he cried out the Ridikulous spell and the wand's tip glowed and the spell hit the boggart changing the forms of his cousins from snarling monsters into miniature cuddly forms.

His heart pounding loudly in his chest Nahuel practically ran back to his desk and hid under it curling into a ball. He could hear concerned voices from the other students as they glanced at him. The teacher followed to sit down next to him and put a comforting hand on his back. "They were family weren't they?" He asked softly.

Nahuel looked up at him and nodded. "My cousins, they are like brothers and sister to me." He said softly.

EXTRA CREDIT

The Sorting:
Nahuel stood numbly in the corner of the Great Hall watching as the other kids milled around excitedly chattering about what houses they wanted to get sorted into. He had his hands clapped tightly over his ears as his eyes nerviously darted back and forth around the room. He didn't actually know his name had been called until a kid came over and poked him. He drew his hands off of his ears and heard this name being said. "Hey they've been calling your name for awhile now." The kid told him.

He felt his face get hot and moved gracefully across the floor, having removed his shoes while he had been waiting in line. He heard snickers and something about how he was weird for not wearing shoes. He sighed as he took a seat on the strange circle seat and waited for the strange hat to be lowered on his head. He took a deep sniff at the scent coming off of it and was a bit startled to hear the hat speaking to him in his native tongue.

"Well now, you are a very intriguing one. I've not gotten to meet one such as you before. Let's see then, what house to put you in. You have qualities that could put you in several different ones. You are very ambitious, and quite intelligent. But your other qualities makes me think that Hufflepuff is the house for you."
"Hufflepuff!" the hat cried so everyone could hear it's decree.

Nahuel smiled slightly and hopped down from his seat. He glanced around for a moment before the teacher next to him touched his shoudler and pointed out the table with the gold and black banner over it. He shot her a grateful smile and moved over to sit down at the table. The happy applause and cries from his new housemates wasn't too bad, though it was a bit on the loud side as he took a seat at an empty spot near the middle of the massive table.

Patronus:
Nahuel stood watching in fascination at the other's attempts to produce a patronus and glanced at his wand. Could he actually managed to get one to come forth? he wondered.
"Go ahead and try," Encouraged the teacher coming over to him. Nahuel let out a long breath and pulled his wand up glancing at it again. He did the maneuver with the wand and pronounced the spell softly. "Expecto Patronum" His wand let loose a light silvery light. He glanced around again and said it a little louder. "Expecto Patronum!" His wand flared up a bit brighter and a silvery trail erupted out of his wand and a form came forth slowly. His eyes widened when the shape finally became visible and a few kids around him gasped at the huge mountain lion that began to slink around the room.
"I should have figured," He said with a rather happy grin.

Greatest Treasure:
His bearclaw necklace
The broom he and his grandfather made together.

Manner of Dress:
He normally doesn't really care what his clothes look like, though he will try and follow the dress code during the week. The moment he can he'll remove his shoes and walk around barefoot as he hates how shoes squish and make his feet sweat.

Favorite Class:
Astronomy is his favorite, because he loves learning about the stars and nature. He also rather enjoys his Herbology class, and does very well in this class. Once COMC comes around he'll really enjoy it.

Third Cousin: Lothar Aleksie Alvesleben, 11, Ravenclaw.

Relationship with Family:
She was super close with her father and they did practically everything together. He was the one that got her into studying languages and started teaching her when she was three years old. They would spend hours in his study reading and enjoying one another's company. He let her be herself, and that is what made her want to spend so much time with him.

Her relationship with her mother was rather tentative and strained. Heloise was always trying to push her into doing more girly things and not spend so much time studying or learning. She always wanted her daughter go be more girly than she was. This just caused a lot of tension and annoyance in Louvenia.

The only thing that she did that pleased her mother was when she tool up playing the piano. She was a natural much to everyone's surprise. She will often play songs that her mother loves to sing. They will often do duets at parties, even though Louvenia hates going out that much.

HISTORY
General History: Abelard married Heloise, who was much younger than he was by 20 years or more. They weren't the best of couples, and were often arguing about what they wanted to do. However, they did love each other in their own way, and four years after they married they were given a great gift when Louvenia came along.

It was during a yule ball at his cousin's palace where Heloise went into labor. She had insisted on going, despite her being so close to her due date. Louvenia was born precisely at 12:05 am with a head full of bright blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, screaming at the top of her lungs. She was greeted with great ceremony by her father and all the guests at the party.

Heloise took one look at her, held her for a moment and then gave her over to the nurse and went back to sleep.

Louvenia's fist couple of years were spent under the loving care of a nurse and her father. Her mother tried half-heartedly to get attached, but it never really happened. She hadn't come from a nurturing family and she had no idea how to do it. She did take part in getting her clothes and more toys than Louvenia would ever need.

By the time she was six, her care had been firmly placed into the capable hands of a governess, Elizabeth Lansberry. While her father still doted on her and instructed her in languages, most of his energy was focused on his students at the college he was teaching at. He was also struggling to keep up with his wife's youthfulness and wanting to go out every evening.

Tragedy struck, when her parents were killed in a building fire and couldn't get out in time. Louvenia was numb and speechless for several weeks, as she processed the loss of her parents. She was 8 when this happened. Her father's cousin being named her guardian, he and his son moved in to her home to help get everything in order. It took them a little over a month to clear out the house and sell it before they could move Louvenia into one of the Alvesleben castles.

Elizabeth, her governess and several of her father's house servants made the move with her. Alesander wanted her to have some familiar faces in his homes, and figured that with Ms. Lansberry being so well certified that she could teach his son as well as Louvenia. Louvenia slowly came out of her shell and got pretty close to her cousin. They were soon discussing geneology and exploring the castle top to bottom.

Louvenia soon became her old self and much to her cousin's annoyance began to outshine him in the classroom. He had always been the one to do the best, and now she was doing better than him! It soon became a rather embroiled competiton with them who could be the best. They butted heads every now and then, until they decided to just concentrate on the process of learning and not the gains. That's when things got better.

In the Duke's home, Louvenia was more exposed to magic than she had been in her own home. She soon became enthralled with it and constantly asked questions about how it was done. She was really excited when she was told about schools for magical studying and hoped that she would one day be asked to attend. She was overjoyed when she received her letter from Hogwarts on her birthday and read it aloud.

She was even more excited when Lothar received his letter in February. His father was really happy for the both of them and took them on a special trip to England to celebrate the happy occasion. Once there, the three of them discussed what the two kids would need for school and when they'd go and buy the supplies.

MISCELLANEOUS
Boggart: Louvenia would see herself trussed up like a doll in frilly lacy clothes and being forced to be on display in front of a huge crowd of people.


Mirror of Erised:
Louvenia would see herself at the age of 17, her head held high receiving her diploma and the dean's award for her focus and diligence. She'd receive many accolades from her teachers and fellow students and have lots of friends congratulating her.

She'd wish for success if she actually believed in wishes. She believes more in hard work and diligence. Wishing one's life away is pure laziness.

The Sorting: Working on

Greatest Treasure: Her owl, Giovanni. He used to be her fathers. She inherited him after her father died, and she's cared for him since.

PERSONALITY
General: He’s a very personable and is friendly, but tends to be very shrewd about who he claims as friends. He often “tests” people to see how loyal and trustworthy they are. While he’s smart he doesn’t go out of his way to be helpful to those who aren’t. He sometimes gets into these random spurts of competitiveness just so he can put other kid’s efforts down. He’s rather capricious, and prefers to stray or wander away from what what’s expected of him. He’s very devious and is always coming up with different ways to deal with people who have slighted him in some way. He’s highly imaginative with the punishments he comes up with, so getting on his bad side isn’t very wise.

He can be somewhat mocking in a pleasant sort of way. He rarely ever raises his voice and often times kids don’t realize he’s mocking them until much later. He’s a smooth talker and tends to come across as really charming, despite his scheming ways.

He’s something of a rebel and highly detests rules, though he’s not about to break them where he can be noticed. When he’s caught in the act of breaking one, he’s polite and will submit to the authority figure without argument. He can be rather arrogant, especially towards people who agree with him too readily and don’t have much of a backbone.

FAMILY
Please include blood status and House where applicable for each family member.

Mother: Maris (Johannesburg) Alvesleben, Pure blood, Ravenclaw, 30s. She’s a very temperamental, volatile and high strung individual. She’s hard to get along with, probably why she didn’t stay married very long to her husband. She’s rather smug about the fact that Lothar was put into her House.
Father: Alesander Alvesleben, Pureblood, Slytherine, 30s. He’s a debonair type of fellow, very suave and a sort of lady's man. However, since he's divorced his wife, he hasn't been dating seriously. One day perhaps when his son is older he'll start looking again. He tries to always put his son first, when his duties as a Duke don't take all his attention.

HISTORY
General History:
Born on February 17th in Dortmund Germany to a Royal; Alesander Alvesleben, and Maris Bundt; a pureblood witch of Swedish Descent; Lothar was born into a family that had high expectations and goals for him. This changed when his his bright blonde hair darkened to a golden brown withing four months of being born, and his eyes turned from bright cerulean blue to a muddy brown. His Grandparents on both sides were completely shocked and horrified with his transformation, not to mention very disappointed. His mother, a blond haired blue eyed Swede was rather infuriated and blamed it on her husband. She even took to referring to him as the "Mud Monster" and refused to have anything with him, despite his Pure blood status.

Thankfully his father wasn't as shallow as the rest of the family and took great care in raising his son to not be as stuck up or concerned with looks. Having been forced into an arranged marriage, Alesander immediately started the process of divorcing his wife. He had no wish to remain married to a woman that was so callous. Four months later she was out of their lives and cozying up to a much blonder count.

Disgusted with his push and judgmental family, Alesander cut of all ties and retreated with his son to his Great Uncle Lestharo's mansion. His Great Uncle had no family of his own and was getting on in age. The addition of a gurgling happy 14 month old brought a sudden youth back into the older man. He loved to spoil Lothar as often as he could, despite Alesander's protests.

It was at Lestharo's mansion where Lothar first became exposed to magic from several smitten House Elves, Fancy and Nory, the two female House Elves first used their magic to soothe him to sleep and to entertain him when he was fussy. Alesander had no idea what was going on until he walked in on them one night when they were making an elaborate light show over his crib to put him to sleep.

Seeing how enthralled his son was, Alesander decided it would be a good idea to have his son grow up seeing it and growing used to it. That way it wouldn't be such a shock later on when he discovered it. Bye the time Lothar was four, seeing magic was as common to him as breathing. It still fascinated him however..and he's always wanted to do it.

His childhood didn't change much from before; though his father had many more responsiblities having been named Duke of his region of Germany. Lothar was often left to his own devices, which meant he was spending his time exploring the mansion, spying on guest, and playing pranks on the House Elves. Until the House Elves had enough and brought his shennanigans to the attention of his father.

His father decided it was time his five year old start schooling and hired a tutor to start instructing him in the finer arts of life. Lothar hated this change, but he actually took a liking to learning and found out that it came rather easily to him. He started reading everything he could get his hands on, and discovered that with the art of proper etiquette came the art of insulting others but with a finesse to it.

He took up horsemanship and fencing when he got older, and thrived in both of them. He loved competing and showing other kids how it was done properly. Of course, he had more opportunities to practice so he was always a little better than others. And having exceptional teachers that paid him their full attention didn't hurt either.

Sadness struck Lothar and his father when the elderly Lestharo passed away in his sleep. They had seen it coming for a few years, as he had been growing weaker and slower and wasn't able to function properly. It was somewhat of a relief that he had died in his sleep and hadn't suffered when he went. It was a big surprise however when they found his will and discovered that he had left everything he had owned to them. There was millions in pounds in Gringotts, as well as jewels, swords and all manner of things that were worth a great deal of money. It was a surprise to find that Lestharo had owned four castles; especially since they had lived in the one mansion for so long.

It was around this time that his cousin Louvenia came to live with them after horrible deaths of her parents. Lothar had no idea how to act around a girl, and didn't really know how to treat her. He learned pretty fast that she was just as competitive and able to surpass him in a lot of areas. While he won't say it he admires and respects her for her focus and tenacity. He sometimes wishes he were more like her.

When he turned eleven he wasn't surprised to get a letter from Hogwarts inviting him to the school. His father had told him stories all about the place and how much fun it would be. He was rather excited about being able to go to a new place and get to learn new things that his father and teachers had hinted at for years.

He was overjoyed when his father decided that it was time they travel and whisked him and his cousin off to England so they could get to know the place better before they went there for school. They even got a private tour of the school much to his delight. It was an eye opener for him and he couldn't help but get pumped up for the start of the school year.
