  Hey there. Still setting up for now. Normally I'd put the Monthly Quest Active Tag here, but since it hasn't seemed to have been updated since March, I'm worried it'll make like this thread itself is outdated. Kind of ironic, huh? Oh well - better safe than sorry, I guess.Peter Neverwood is based on a twisted version of Peter Pan if he were ever sent to school, perhaps in an alternate universe. As an adapted version of Pan, Peter Neverwood is basically rendered a cosplay. March
July "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

"He's Slytherin or Gryffindor;
it's obvious, that much is sure!
This boy's not one to be in school
for he will not be made a fool.
But if his cunning mind should dim,
he'd have no place in Slytherin.
His pride and courage won't give way
So Gryffindor this hat does say!" The Sorting: Peter didn't appear nervous as many of the other First Years around him were. In fact, he seemed to be getting bored. Ooh, a sky-patterned ceiling. Hooray, a bunch of floating candles. It was a miracle no one's hair was set on fire. The golden plates and goblets was going a bit too far, he thought, making the dining hall seem almost gaudy. What was the big deal with this? Sure, there were four houses, but once you were sorted, that was it. It wasn't like there could be a special, fifth house or a chance to be on your own. No matter what house he ended up in, he would still be surrounded by a bunch of eager students - each ready to conform and be educated in the dreary, ancient ways of traditional Wizard and Witch kind.
Neverwood yawned, making no effort to conceal his lack of interest in the ceremony taking place. Rather, he seemed to be exaggerating and emphasizing his indifference in order to hide his true feelings. While inwardly the First Year was as anxious as the peers who stood in line with him, he refused to let it show. He wasn't going to give the older students the satisfaction of watching fear and doubt creep across his face - no matter how creepy and freakish that talking hat looked. As if to verify this, he turned to glare at the nearest sitting student. The Third Year appeared perplexed at the unwarranted show of hostility and turned her attention back to the front of the hall.
Peter vowed silently to himself to never fall into that state of mind; the state which allowed grown-ups and older kids to manipulate and enforce their wills upon the weak-minded, young, inexperienced, and naive. While it would have been easier to shut up and do as you were told, they weren't going to break him down - not even with magic. If older students and teachers alike were going to try to intimidate him into being a good little First Year, the defiant boy swore to fight them every step of the way. He told himself he would not be bullied or badgered into doing anything he didn't want to do.
"Neverwood, Peter!"
...Except for this.
Stupid hat, the boy groaned inwardly, trudging forward with heavy steps to sit on the four-legged stool. He wasn't so concerned about the hundreds of eyes on him as much as how dumb the over-sized piece of burlap sack would make him appear to those eyes. As with many of the First Years before Peter, the brim fell down over his eyes, obscuring his vision. Well, at least now he didn't have to see the condescending expressions of the older students that he imagined were directed at him.
And then the enchanted Sorting Hat began to speak softly into his ear. Neverwood had to clutch the bottom of his stool seat to resist a sudden, overwhelming urge. He desperately wanted to rip the thing off his head, throw it down, and stomp on it, because if it seemed freaky before, now it was really freaking him out. Was it reading his mind? What business did it have poking around in his own head? He gritted his teeth as he waited on edge.
"My...aren't we an angry one? That's good fuel for motivation and ambition...but such audacity! Why resort to cunning when you have all that bravery to achieve your goals?"
Oh, just choose already! the auburn-haired boy yelled mentally. He was being humiliated enough as it was, and the longer the length of time it took the thing to choose a house, the more attention would be attracted to the scene. To Peter's great chagrin, it seemed as though the hat could actually hear his thoughts.
"Now, now, these things take time. Especially with you...lots of pride, don't like losing...and obviously a doer. Definitely restless enough."
Neverwood gave a mental 'humph'. Was that an insult? Yet he didn't dare try conversing with the hat again, let alone arguing. The sooner this business was finished, the better.
"A natural-born leader...how curious. But to where would you lead others?"
The impatient young man slouched. What the hell was this crazy old hat going on about? Did it actually expect him to know what it meant?
"You're bold, Neverwood, but you have yet to learn what true courage is. Sly pranks are good fun, but...if that's all you'll use cunning for, then it will never become more. So...better stick to what you swore and find your strength in GRYFFINDOR!"
...Was that good? Peter hardly had time to contemplate what had just happened when the Sorting Hat was lifted off his head and the next name was called. He almost stumbled toward his new house members, feeling a little dazed. All that time he'd been up there, he had wanted the agonizingly long minutes to end...but now all he could do was wonder.
I don't know courage? Me? The flabbergasted new Gryffindor leaned forward on the bench, folding his arms over the tabletop and resting his chin upon them thoughtfully. There must have been some mistake...I know what courage is.
...Don't I?

 GENERAL Name: Peter Neverwood
Gender: Male
Birthday: December 27th
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Pureblood (possibly isn't even aware of it)
Wand: 12 and a quarter inches, Oak, Phoenix feather; Springy
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Peter likes to think of himself as clever, quick, and daring. He sometimes likes to think he’s funny, but this opinion of himself is not usually shared by others. His perception of how others view him is severely skewed - possibly beyond reason. Neverwood's foolish actions can lead him into horrible consequences, particularly when led by his pride. Self-centered and selfish, his over-inflated ego often gets in his way.
This Gryffindor tends to be rude and enjoys playing tricks on others. Unlike most others in his house, has a sort of respect for and even grudgingly admires the Slytherins. If asked why he wasn't sorted into Slytherin himself, he'd probably shrug with a proclamation that Slytherins were too cowardly for him and that only Gryffindor was worthy of his bravery. His cleverness is questionable, but he is not to be underestimated. What Peter lacks in intelligence, wit, manners, humility, and tact, he makes up for in determination, willpower, (foolhardy) bravery, cunning, and sometimes just plain stubbornness. If he wants something done badly enough, it'll get done one way or another - even if he has to trick others into helping him out or doing it for him.
Although he's a pureblood (perhaps even unknowingly), Peter's spell-casting lacks in passion, so he's not a very successful student. His short attention span makes it hard for him to learn through professors' lectures, chalkboard diagrams, paperwork, or reading textbooks. He completely disregards homework, essays, and research of any kind. The only learning method he seems to be able to take to is hands-on practice and engaging in activities. However, without having read or listened to instructions, he often ends up botching spells and ruining potions through his experimentation. It seems a miracle that he passes classes at all, but somehow he usually manages to scrape by with a minimum grade.
It's assumed that his test scores aren't as awful as they should be because he answers them using random bits of knowledge he picks up in class (between naps), his intuition and guesses tend to be correct (or he's just lucky), and because he ends up cramming right before the test (while listening in on other students' reviewing). It should be noted that Peter is often suspected of cheating by both his fellow classmates and teachers but that no one has yet been able to prove it. Furthermore is the fact that his scores aren't ever perfect (usually 70% - 80%), so either he cheats very badly or he's just unusually good at guessing correct answers.
Though possible, it's very unlikely that Neverwood would cheat and get an imperfect grade on purpose just to throw others off. His pride would never allow him to do such a thing. The decietful idea has probably never even crossed his mind, but if it were brought up, he'd probably call it stupid. The only classes Peter actually excels at are Broom Flight lessons and Music, though he still isn't very good at following directions in either. While he seems to have a natural, raw talent for both, he lacks the discipline required to nurture his abilities to their full potential. Talent without motivation or proper discipline can be either useless or dangerous - something that both frustrates and concerns the professors of those subjects.
Habits: Neverwood has quite a temper and can be particularly spiteful when insulted or angered. His swelling pride and monstrous ego will never allow him to turn down a challenge or a dare of any kind - even if he knows it's a stupid idea or he's not likely to win. This often leads to destructive, dangerous, distracting, or otherwise inappropriate behavior, making the breaking of school rules a main habit. Ironically, it was partially that same reasoning of not backing down from a challenge that got him to attend Hogwarts in the first place.
A random rooster crow reverberating through the castle's stone corridors often startles those passing through. It is his signature and favorite sound to make because he believes that it gets the best reaction out of startled students. This boy also loves heights and watching people below him, so it's easy to catch him perched atop a tree, statue, or rooftop while surveying those on the ground with a smug smirk and a condescending demeanor.
Unfortunately, one of Neverwood's biggest flaws is his obliviousness to others' feelings, whether bad or good. He is as clueless about people who despise or have a grudge against him as he is about people who like or have a crush on him. Instead, the student seems to substitute reality with whatever he chooses to believe - that he is admired and beloved by all, for example. For this reason, he can end up walking a razor's edge without even realizing it, such as when he might act haughty and arrogant around a deeply sore loser.
With Peter's lack of consideration for others, he also has trouble realizing when he's taken a joke too far or actually hurt someone emotionally, mentally, or physically. If he realizes it or is told directly about his offense, he would rather pretend to be heartless and not care instead of swallowing his pride and apologizing. It's suspected that he isn't very good at hiding his guilt for long, though; especially towards girls.
It's a little odd, but the more Peter taunts or teases a person, the more he generally seems to like them. It seems to be his way of showing that he respects or admires said person, so naturally he likes to go out of his way to make fun of the Slytherin House. This can be confusing for those who don't know him well, though, so strangers usually just think he's acting on the same house rivalry against Slytherin that most other Gryffindors share.
Hobbies: A prominent hobby of Neverwood's reflects his playful if somewhat mean-spirited nature - this boy has a thing for pulling pranks. Peter really enjoys practical jokes and gags of all kinds, though the ones he favors using the most usually involve edibles of the sweet variety. His favorite trick consists of offering other students (especially girls) Exploding Bon-bons.
Peter also enjoys hiding in nooks and crannies while imitating others' voices (fellow students, professors, dangerous creatures, etc). He's become rather successful at throwing his voice and was always naturally good at mimicking sounds (much to the annoyance of those around him) such as his signature rooster crow.
Alone, this Gryffindor likes to play his pan pipes, especially at night. He sometimes even climbs out onto a rooftop or castle buttress in order to do so comfortably. Exploring Hogwarts school secrets is another favorite pastime of his with endless trapdoors and moving staircases to investigate. Doing dares like going into the Forbidden Forest at night are also a hobby for him, though he often gets into trouble for doing so.
Strangely enough, though Neverwood will occasionally visit the school's small menagerie of magical creatures, none of them seem to like him. If they don't shy away from him, they're likely to attack. One particularly close instance was when he was challenged to jump into the Black Lake at midnight before swimming to shore. If Gryffindor's Head of House hadn't noticed he had gone and hadn't been out looking for him, he would surely have been dragged under, drowned, and possibly eaten by the lake's resident Giant Squid.
More than anything, though, Peter loves to fly. He spent most of his limited allowance on a Comet 260 and intends to try out for a Beater in Gryffindor's Quidditch Team. Someday, though, he hopes to become a Captain of the Quidditch Team. He's crazy about brooms, flying, and causing all the mayhem he can manage. He flies his Comet both to practice the sport as well as just leisurely flying (but only when he can sneak out in secret because, as stated in his acceptance letter, First Years are not supposed to be allowed their own brooms. Thus he tries to fly it sparingly in his free time and late at night, but becomes more prone to crashing into obstacles he can't see in the dark.)
(This information is reserved for Peter's potential future years at Hogwarts.) Professors do not approve of his flying outside of designated class and Quidditch practice times, but Peter does it so often that they hardly bother to try to stop him anymore. Now he'll just open a window from Gryffindor Tower and push off the window sill to soar into the sky. He still gets a warning every now and then from a concerned adult that he'll be seen by a muggle if he isn't careful, but as the Hogwarts grounds are fairly isolated, the school staff have little fear of this occuring.
Likes: Flying on brooms, Quidditch, playing his pan pipes, playing tricks on others, laughing, joking, challenging others with games, casting spells, doing dares, and exploring everywhere from the dungeons of the Hogwarts Castle to the Black Lake to the Forbidden Forest.
Dislikes: Older students, strict teachers, lessons, homework, books, studying, rules, prefects, muggles (especially those who don't believe in magic). FAMILY Mother: None of which to speak of. Since he can't remember ever having one, he's never wanted one. As if out of spite for having something he doesn't, however, Peter will usually scorn, mock, tease, and/or jeer at those who are shown extra attention or who express their love for their mothers.
Father: None of which to speak of. Since he can't remember ever having one, he's never wanted one. As if out of spite for having something he doesn't, however, Peter will usually scorn, mock, tease, and/or jeer at those who are shown extra attention or who express their love for their fathers.
Siblings: None.
Extended Family: None of which to speak of, though he was the leader of a small group of boys back in the orphanage he grew up in, treating them like younger brothers with rough-housing, bullying, and verbal abuse included.
Relationship with Family: As Peter truly seems to believe he is an orphan, it's very possible that he has no idea he's a pureblood. HISTORY General History: Peter declared himself leader of a small group of boys back at the orphanage he was raised in. He somewhat bullied most of the younger boys into following him, but assured them protection from even bigger, older kids if they swore their loyalty to him. Peter was very much like the book character, Tom Sawyer, in that he was considered by most to be a bad influence on the other boys. In fact, being part of Peter's group inadvertently reduced all chances of being adopted.
Whenever an adult working at the orphanage remarked that Neverwood's awful behavior was the cause of his unadopted status, Peter would usually counter this indirect threat with a proud, defiant declaration - that he was glad he wasn't adopted because he didn't want nor need any parents to tell him what to do or how to grow up. It is unknown whether or not he truly believes his words. Mysteriously enough, Peter can see Thestrals. He wonders if it might have had something to do with having witnessed the death of his parents as an infant.
One day, when he came of age, a letter arrived for Neverwood. It was an invitation to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. The orphanage caretaker, who knew Peter well, was both intrigued and pleased. Not only was it a chance to get the boy out of his orphanage and keep him from corrupting the other children, but there were several other benefits to this and a special opportunity. The caretaker would be happy to hand little devil over to the school staff to raise because he had been a pain in the man's neck for all the time he'd been there. Also, once Neverwood was done with schooling, he would have no where else to go but return to the orphanage. The caretaker was certain he could put Peter to good use making the young new wizard work for him.
Magic would certainly be a useful thing if the insolent child managed to master it. He would also have the opportunity to learn about all the secrets of magic and the wizard world because everyone knew Neverwood was a loudmouth - particularly about things he was not supposed to tell anyone else. It was such fun for him to know things that others didn't, but the point was defeated if he just kept quiet about it. He always had to brag about how much he knew.
Having made a decision, the orphanage caretaker took Peter aside one night to tell him that he was special and that he had been invited to attend a certain school. He would be able to have his own room and things (since all he owned at the time was a little flute he'd made from reed pipes) and do magic. It was a ticket out of the dirty old orphanage and a chance to make his own way in the world - a chance to be independent and free since there would be no adults outside of school lessons to scold him, tell him what to do, what to eat, when to sleep, or how to live his life.
At first the boy was fully against the notion of attending school. However, as he was tempted, flattered, and lured by the caretaker's encouraging words, he finally agreed to go. The caretaker took the savings he'd kept for many years in order to pay for Peter's tuition, making sure that the boy knew he would have to repay him, but not for another seven years. By that time the greedy man was certain that his investment in the boy would have at least doubled in size if not tripled.
Though he's not ecstatic about attending Hogwarts, Peter would never back down from a challenged be thought of as a coward for it; especially something as intimidating and menacing as school. After all, from what he's heard, no kid who ever attends school ever comes out the same. Neverwood intends to be the first by refusing to change himself or grow up even the tiniest bit. The fact that he has his broomstick as a back-up plan is comforting for him, though, in case something goes wrong. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Peter Banning. Before Neverwood, a Boggart would probably first reveal itself as a mirror image of the proud, arrogant Gryffindor. Right before his eyes, however, Peter would see himself overcome with horror and helplessness as he would rapidly begin to age into someone else - a grown-up. This person would likely not need to grow as old as a decrepit elder in order to horrify the Boggart victim. Instead, the creature would wear the semblance of an ordinary, mundane, middle-aged muggle man.
Furthermore, the man would be restricted to wearing a suit, a tie, and a serious expression. His face and features would be lined with weariness and fatigue, clearly unhappy with his average, routine, boring life. Intimidatingly tall with a bristly mustache, the Boggart in this muggle form would condescendingly glare down his big nose at Peter and scold him sternly. He might say something along the lines of, "What are you looking at, boy?! Get lost. Kids like you shouldn't meddle in grown-up affairs." At his point, the Boggart-man might even have a briefcase that he would open to take out recipts and shuffle through papers, muttering irritably. "This is serious business. Adult stuff. You'll have to do it too, soon. You're not special. Enjoy your short childhood while you can, because everyone grows up. Everyone. There's nothing you can do about it."
The reason behind this transformation is Peter's greatest fear - growing up. Along with that main fear are the minor fears that include being molded to society's standards of an adult and being forced to live the same, horribly predictable life day after day after day without the courage or will to break the cycle because, as a grown-up, he would have already submitted to this painfully dull lifestyle and would know no other way to live because adults cannot adjust to change as easily as children. In order to defeat the Boggart, Peter would probably have to imagine the man in a pirate outfit with a bottle of rum and a pot belly. The mere idea of a supposedly fearsome pirate reduced to little more than a fat drunkard would be hilarious to him. Unfortunately, since Peter is not very adept at using spells correctly due to his lack of studying and paying attention in class, a proper Riddikulus charm may be beyond his current capabilities.
Mirror of Erised: In this mirror, Peter may see himself as a child clad in clothes of leaves, flying freely over a magic island full of adventure and thrills where no one ever has to grow up. Exotic animals and plants of every shape and kind would be found there so that endless discoveries could be made. Every biome and natural animal habitat would have a place on this small dream island and only the most creative and daring would be able to survive on it. The bigger one's imagination, the more they can imagine for themselves (food, animal companions, etc.) and the more they'll find the island to their liking. It would be a place without responsibility, but with just enough danger to be exciting. The longer one stays on this island, more of their most worrisome thoughts and memories are forgotten. Eventually one could forget an entirely lifetime of unhappiness and reality-bound troubles, living only for themselves and not concerning themself with anyone else.
Why? The boy believes that's practically self-explanitory. Who would choose responsibility, mundanity, and old age over eternal youth, freedom, and happiness? Naturally, Peter is the center of attention on this island and even the weather changes with his mood if he wishes it. All the girls like him and all the boys look to him as a leader as they face a dangerous pirate crew consisting entirely of grown-ups. The adults already living on the island are the only ones able to exist there, however, because the island has a mind of its own and will only allow those it wants and those that believe in it to find it. Since such a place wouldn't even be conceivable to most grown-ups, this would naturally keep most of them out.
Though not everyone would consider a loss of memory a desire, Peter believes that to truly be happy, one need not concern themselves with things to do, places to be, lists of necessity, and obligations toward other people. While some people may find themselves incapable of letting all these wordly thoughts go, this mysterious dream island of Peter's would be able to help. The more one worries, the more one forgets. The most troublesome thoughts are forgotten first so that little enough thought is left but to live joyfully in the present. For a boy whose mechanism for coping involves forgetting all the homework, school assignments, and reading he's told to do (if only so that his guilt for not doing them doesn't suck the fun out of the activities he does in their place), forgetting it all would be heaven and this island would be paradise.
EXTRA CREDIT (The 'Manner of Dress' section is still under construction)
Patronus: A Saltwater Crocodile - Along with being the largest of all living reptiles, this animal is a highly opportunistic and territorial apex predator capable of taking nearly any animal that enters its territory, either in the water or on dry land, including humans, kangaroos, water buffalo, sharks, and once even a Bengal tiger. Peter believes the Saltwater Crocodile to be a cold-blooded carnivore and a powerful protector against his enemies. It also follows his ideals that the best defense is a good offense. They are also loners and, unlike other crocodiles, are tough enough to live a life in the big blue sea, no matter how many bigger creatures out there may threaten its existence. It seems to have no fear and is always hungry for more meat to rip apart.
Greatest Treasure: Peter's Comet 260 broomstick is his most precious possession because he thinks of it as a key to freedom and an fail-safe plan of escape as long as he's outdoors. After all, no one can close off the entire sky. Even though First Years are not supposed to be allowed their own broomstick, Peter spent almost all his allowance for school supplies on it after refusing to attend Hogwarts unless he had his very own broom. Even if he's not really allowed to fly it by school rules, having his broomstick with him among his belongings puts him at ease. This is because if school ever became too much for him and he ever felt like flying away on any given day, he would be able to. While his broom may be the most precious thing he owns, his greatest treasures are his freedom and his youth which he will do anything to protect. The Comet 260 is just a last resort among his other efforts to do so.
The Panpipes he owns are a close second for his most precious possession because he made them himself from some reeds which gave him great pride. Playing it is also one of the few way he feels he can express himself and his most favorite method besides. It's pretty small and can fit in the pocket of his robes so he can take it anywhere he likes. Unlike his Comet 260, there were no rules stating he could not do so.
Manner of Dress: If it were really up to Peter, he'd probably have no problem going around naked. He's not terribly vain, but enough so that he doesn't worry about what others think of him. Neverwood seems to be under the delusion that everysone sees him for how 'naturally handsome' he believes he is. Therefore he does little to nothing to maintain his appearance. He's as fairly confident about his looks as much as everything else about him and it definitely shows - at least in the way he holds himself.
What he wears when he is obligated to don clothing, however, is another matter entirely. Nearly everything he owns wardrobe-wise from robes to his shoes tends to be either dusty, dirty, scuffed, stained, patched, ripped, ragged, wrinkled, frayed, or torn - sometimes a combination of the above. It wasn't isn't for lack of trying or new clothing, either. House elves are constantly attempting to patch up the ripped seams and torn garments they find in his laundry, only to find them re-ripped or torn elsewhere the next time the clothes cycle through. Although his clothing and school supplies were mostly bought second-hand, after a couple days of use by Peter, they appear to be more like fifth-hand.
Worse yet is the way he treats and neglects said clothing, resulting in their significantly shortened lifespan. Neverwood's clothes are often wrinkled, worn, and/or dirty because he tosses them on the floor when he takes them off. Even when they return from the laundry, he doesn't bother to keep them neatly folded as the house elves likely did for him. If the carefully washed, ironed, and folded garments are on his bed while he's tired, Peter will not hesitate to brush them off his covers and toss them aside to join the rest of his dirty clothing on the floor.
This young man never bothers tucking his shirt into his trousers. He doesn't bother with the layers of his clothing and will sometimes wear his vest under his shirt of his cloak under his vest. He's always losing his socks so they're often mismatched (though sometimes it's difficult to tell because he doesn't have much variety in the way of sock colors/designs). As long as he's wearing his loafers and not the type of shoes you have to tie, he can't really mess those up. Even Peter can tell his right foot from his left foot.
On the rare occasion he does have a decent set of clothes on and they're worn in the correct order, Neverwood often fails to button all the buttons on his dress shirt or even fold his collar down, so it often flares up and out while the bottom peeks out from under his vest. He likes to roll up his sleeves almost all the time because he claims he feels more ready to take on the day (nevermind if they gather in bunches and are wrinkled at his elbows, causing him to look more like he's planning to wrestle the day into submission).
If, Merlin forbid, he decides to put on his house tie (which he loves to refer as a colorful noose), he'll probably let it drape over his neck. If for some random reason - a dare or a challenge - Peter felt the urge to try tying said tie, it's almost guaranteed to end up horribly lose and distorted or a big, tangled knot at his throat that seems likely to choke him. The closest he ever got was to complete the knot of the tie correctly, but with the cloth backwards so the underside of the fabric was showing. Moreover, the wider end was as lengthy as the smaller end, which was not supposed to be visible.
Favorite Class: Broom Flying Class - the most free he can be while in a classroom setting. He also likes the idea that he can get everyone to look at him (perhaps with an aerodynamic trick or two) without having done something wrong.
(Though Music comes in close second, he does not enjoy being told what to play and prefers to play music by ear, mood, and memory rather than forced to read music notes. He doesn't like reading English, much less the musical language.)
Worst Class: Magical Theory. Supposedly, it covers magic from a purely theoretical standpoint, making it possibly the least hands-on class offered at Hogwarts. Peter wouldn't know. He only signed up for the extra-cirricular subject so that he could spend it napping or ditch the class as a free period. After all, why theorize about magic when you could just get out there and do it? Trial and error, Neverwood figures, is the best way to go about such things, because 'errors', as far as he's concerned, are half the fun.
(Care of Magical Creatures is right beside it because animals do not seem to like him at all. Given his provocative nature, however, it's likely they may just be able to sense his ill intentions before he commits mischievous deeds. Thus, he can rarely get away with catching the creatures by surprise or using them for any sort of prank against other students.)
Animagus: (Were he one, but he is not) Peter would be a rooster because of his pride, arrogance, cockiness, and the symbolic freedom of feathers, flight, and being a bird. He certainly crows enough like one.

- Slightly? Pointed ears (I know this probably won't be possible, but I thought I'd put it here just in case. Willing to pay more gold if it is possible.)
- Brooms are not available? Even for extra gold? Comet 260?
- Pan pipes? (Pan pipes and dagger with brown belt go well on Pan costume)
- Quidditch Beater bat?
- Bludger?
- Snitch?
- Wand? (last choice)
Addons: Pureblood Addon (+50k)
Total Price: Moderate or Advanced Student...?
(Advanced Student: 500-900k+; Multiple major edits, including hair, clothing items, etc. Price varies heavily with complexity.)
Um...not sure since I'm not fully aware of all the prices (edits, extra art, etc), but at least 950k...?
