Early Years:

Marcel and Emilia Kowalski welcomed their second child and only son on 15th November 2084, but not everyone was so happy - two and a half years old, Maja was used to being an only child and wasn't overjoyed at sharing her parents (particularly her fathers) attention with a baby. As a result, she grew fairly jealous and started acting out, but this only lasted for about half a year, when she realised that her father remained tightly wrapped around her little finger.

Jó attended the same Wizarding Primary School as his sister, but was very unimpressed when his parents refused to let her attend Hogwarts - if it was safe enough for their cousins, then it was safe enough for him. So, in September 2093, his mission began: Convince Parents to Let Him Go to Hogwarts™.

His mission was a success and their parents agreed to let him start Hogwarts in September 2096, sending his sister along to "keep an eye on him", a statement he didn't sneer at as much as he wanted to. Telling his parents that he didn't need to be looked after and that he was perfectly fine going on his own brought the risk of an argument, and the chance that he wouldn't get to go at all, so he kept his mouth shut.

Ever since he could understand it, Józef was fascinated by Quidditch and dragged his parents to as many matches as he could. He began playing in recreational teams at the age of seven and dreams of becoming a famous keeper one day. Although he and Maja get along, his biggest influence is his older cousin, Flynn - Flynn is The Coolest Person To Ever Live (probably)™ and Józef spends a lot of his time trying to achieve said level of cool, often by mimicking things Flynn does, wearing sunglasses inside, and trying to contain the almost explosive levels of excitement he often feels.

During the summer before starting his first year, he planned his second mission: The Badge Heist™. Having ogled it from afar, he decided to steal his cousins Slytherin Prefect Badge - after all, it was going to be him some day, but why did he have to wait for the staff to give it to him in a few years?

He succeeded - on his last visit to see his cousin, it seemed that Flynn had put his badge onto Archie's fridge. How silly. How precarious. How unprotected. It almost seemed that Flynn had left it out in the open for Jó to steal.

How interesting.

Hogwarts:

2096-97 : Term 50 : First Year
With the promise to return it (of course), Józef pinned the Slytherin Prefect Badge to his jumper and sat in the Prefects' Compartment on his first journey on the Hogwarts Express. It wasn't a complete success, irritating a lot of people seemingly, but he got to Hogwarts (mostly) unscathed, and with the badge still intact, so he's counting it as one.

His sorting was, in his own mind, an absolute disaster: the Sorting Hat announced him a Gryffindor without even spending a SECOND on his head. It was ridiculous - he hadn't even had the opportunity to argue his case for Slytherin. It was a joke. Anyone could clearly see that he was a BORN Slytherin, and now he was going to have to live with these Lions.

But being a Gryffindor wasn't completely bad - he did get chosen as the starting Keeper for the Quidditch Team, which of course cemented in his mind that he was far superior to most first years. He skipped S.O.R.E. a couple of times, resulting in the ugly 'TROLL' pimples on his forehead, and had his fair share of detentions - most notably for walking out on a Divination lesson.

2097-98 : Term 51 : Second Year
After making the Quidditch team for his second year, this time as chaser, Józef was benched along with Zoryn and Faith for the Polyjuice Potion Prank they pulled in a charms lesson, were along with some other students they attended the class disguised as Slytherin Prefect Maxton Carden (it was a fate Max deserved, as according to Joey he didn't live up to the legacy that Flynn had left behind).

2098-99 : Term 52 : Third Year
Józef was NOT voted 'Most Likely to Drop Their Wand In The Toilet' and is very annoyed at being confused for that kid. He was 'Most Likely to Try to Fight the Mist', and honestly? Why wasn't he given the chance?!

2099-00 : Term 53: Fourth Year
The news that they would be heading to Beauxbatons for a Term was not exactly the news Józef hoped for (was he still hoping for a chance to fight the mist?), and it was so much worse than he had expected it to be. The Castle felt stuffy and superior, and the food was just... not good. The portraits were more stuck up than the kids, and the fourth year lost many a staring contest with them. To top it all off, there was no Quidditch to be played.

He just had to be glad that he wasn't in the broom closet - thank Merlin he'd not ended up in Slytherin after all.

2100-01 : Term 54 : Fifth Year
With his best friend, Lucas Dakest, the new Gryffindor Prefect, many would think that Józef may start to toe the line a bit. Of course, he saw this as a chance to get away with the most, hoping that Lucas liked him too much to punish him. Trying to maintain his non-existent 'cool' exterior, Józef made a show of not revising for his OWLs, claiming he didn't need to and he didn't care. However, nights would often be spend with the curtains of his four-poster drawn and his wand lighting up the textbooks under his covers. If he failed, he knew that his parents would take his broom from him, and with the school already cancelling that years Quidditch Cup, he desperately didn't want that to happen.

He also discovered the Vengaboys, and a growing suspicion of portraits arose after his close friend Stella briefly replaced the Fat Lady, and the House Founders started wandering around.

The summer after his fifth year, due in no small part to his attitude, Józef was replaced as the starting Keeper for the Poland Under-17's Quidditch team. He told none of his friends or schoolmates this, and would still act as though he had played. During this summer, Willa Parker Emerson also asked him to be her boyfriend, and whilst Józef wasn't comfortable with the lable, he did agree to become exclusive with her, which he saw as a middle ground.

▶ Personality
Personality Type: ___ENFP-a // The Campaigner.

"The ENFP personality is a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike Explorers, they are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd."

Strengths: _________Curious, energetic, enthusiastic, relaxed, friendly.
Weaknesses: _______Impatient, unobservant, unfocused, easily stressed.

Likes: _____________'Feeling important, flying, skateboarding, Quidditch, Quidditch Sticker Book completing, pretending.
Dislikes: ___________Being insulted, reading, schoolwork, concentrating, ties.

In depth:

Józef has a poor memory, a short temper (although this has mellowed out over the years) and an even shorter attention span, causing him to be easily distracted, a bit of a fidget, and the worst at losing his things. He hasn’t yet reached the age where he distrusts many people and automatically assumes the best of people. He is a terrible liar, although he likes to imagine that he is skilled at it, and is close to his sister, but worships his cousin Flynn - something his mother is not impressed by in the slightest. He’s still trying to figure out who he is, and despite evidence to the contrary thinks he is incredibly cool, and lets other people know this by wearing sunglasses inside. Although he would not admit it easily, he is fairly superstitious, refusing to walk under ladders and getting worried if a black cat crosses his path.

Wand:

SPOILER!!: Wand

{ 12 inch swishy Juniper with Hippogriff Feather }

WOOD: Juniper
Juniper is an aromatic, wood which varies pleasantly in colour from milky white, to deep reddish-brown with attractive swirling patterns in the grain. It is most attracted to honest and compassionate individuals, and well suited to healing spells, defensive magic and protection spells. An interesting characteristic of a wand fashioned from Juniper is that it is very rarely obtained by thievery or unsavoury means, and indeed will often find its way back to its owner if it is somehow misappropriated. It has commonly been said that, 'If you carry three juniper berries in your pocket you can travel the forest without fear, drink from the springs without harm, and ride the wind' and indeed many wandmakers believe Juniper as a wand wood carry these same characteristics. Juniper wands are able to purify water sources and free them from poison, and those who own a wand of this wood tend to be accomplished at apparition and flying.

CORE: Hippogriff Feather
"Easily offended, hippogriffs are. Don't never insult one, 'cause it might be the last thing yeh do."

Hippogriffs are intensely proud creatures, and an individual must show proper respect by bowing to them and waiting for them to bow in return before approaching. Eye contact should be maintained at all times without a single blink. The Hippogriff should be allowed to make the first move as it's polite. If offended, it may attack. Hippogriffs are tameable, but only by experts in their care. Although proud, they can also be fiercely loyal and protective of those who have earned their trust. Hippogriffs are noble animals with a reputation for not taking a slight. These wands require constant respect, and if the wielder does not give it, they can watch its formerly stable and versatile magic backfire on it. It is not the strongest core, but it is one of the most adaptable. These wands are most common amongst Gryffindors, but they are rare overall.
