▶ History
really?
Early Years:

Emily Rose Fletcher had it all: a perfect school record, amazing parents, insane good looks and a string of worthy admirers, a perfect job interning in America. She had everything, or at least, to the outside world, that’s how it seemed. In fact, the façade her parents strived so hard to build hid the fact that the sixteen year old was spending her ‘perfect break’ interning in the confines of her great-aunt’s guest bedroom, eating twice as much as usual, and crying over her lack of support. It was on the 31st March in 2074 that she was rushed into Carlisle General Hospitals Maternity ward after her waters breaking, and it was on the same night that she refused to hold her baby, refused to even look upon the product of an unloving, unfaithful relationship. She gave the nurse two names, because she refused to even let them tell her the gender, and so it was Dalton Nicholas that stuck.

Early in the hours of the next morning, Emily returned to her aunt’s house to rest before packing her things, and thus her interning break ended, and she resumed the perfect life she’d always known.

At four hours and thirty nine minutes old, Dalton was not so lucky – placed in the hands of a soft faced social worker, he was transferred to a travel cot and moved to the nearest children’s home with a space. Whitehaven was destined to be his home for the next few months, or at least, that was what people assumed. As his designated social worker, Travis Mack thought for sure that a baby as adorable would be fostered immediately. But adorable wasn’t the way prospective parents felt about him: he was…. ‘unusual’. Cagey and restrictive, he didn’t take well to new people and people felt uncomfortable around him, with no explanation. It took him years to loosen up and get along with the people he saw every day, and each change in the daily running of Whitehaven Children’s Home made him uneasy and irritable.

He did, however, manage to make one friend.

Aled Rogers became an orphan at the age of four, when his parents died in a car accident. Due to a lack of rooms and age difference, he also became Dalton’s first ever roommate and friend. It took a long time, but eventually they came to regard each other as brothers – Aled, charming, irresponsible and amusing, brought Dalton somewhat out of his shell, and taught him that not everything in world was there to be hated. By the age of nine, they were practically inseparable.

Nine was around the time that Dalton’s magic began to show properly. Items of his that other people wanted to use gave electric shocks, and his bedroom door had a habit of slamming in the faces of those he didn’t want to speak to. Other people blamed it on the wind and static energy, but Dalton knew something was up, knew that the feeling that ran through him when these events happened was something confusing and nerve racking and bigger than he ever was.

It was on his eleventh birthday that the announcement was made: his primary school teacher had referred him for a scholarship to an esteemed boarding school. At least, this was the story that everyone but himself and Travis were told. Instead, he was packed off to Hogwarts, to discover what made him so special.

Hogwarts:

During his first year, it was unsurprising when Dalton didn't make any friends. He kept himself to himself, pretty certain that no teacher knew his name as he made every effort not to draw attention to himself: his work wasn't terrible, nor was it outstanding. He say alone in lessons, alone at meal times, and alone in the Common Room.

And he hated every minute of it. He was bored and confused, and quite frankly scared of magic and the idea that everything about his life was changing. It didn't help that when he got back to the care home that summer, the bed across the room from him was no longer occupied by his best friend: Aled had gone, had been fostered by a local family, and now Stephen would sleep opposite him.

Of course, he and Aled saw each other a lot, still, but it wasn't the same. If it was possible, Dalton became even more withdrawn during that summer, and started his second year even more on edge with regards to magic. His clothes were still too big, and his feeble attempts at altering them with charms were futile, and ended up just making them look distressed.

He did, however, make one friend. Timila Kyle. They became close when Aled struck up a conversation with her on a trip to Diagon Alley, and although he would never admit it, Dalton was forever grateful for that day.

During his third year, he mastered the charm he'd been working on for the previous two and successfully shortened the arms of his hoodies. He also managed to make another friend, Kelly, whom he developed a massive crush on - not that he would tell anyone, and developed a better relationship with his housemates Ollie and Colt. It was also the year of his first kiss, with none other than Timila, his best friend.

When fourth year came, it was time to lengthen the arms of his hoodies, having only shortened them 12 months earlier. Almost thankfully, he hadn't managed alter his trousers, and with a belt they were passable as his lanky-ish frame continued to grow. Just before he started the school year, Aled moved back into the home, and his developing friendships helped to bring the him out of his sullen shell.

He was nice. He fell in love with Potions.

The summer before his fifth year, Aled moved out of the home once again - this time, at 17, permanently into a student bedsit at the local college. Allthough legally Dalton is still obliged to live there, he spends a lot of time crashing on his friends floor.

The news of Stemp House doesn't do much to help, especially with Travis leaving to go and work there. A new friend, Anais, almost convinces him to apply, but too many things have already changed this year.

Decisions were made to work hard in school. Aled's university application helped push him further.

And along came Charlotte. Dalton's former definition of annoying. Former. Dalton's current definition of beautiful, funny, happy. Charlotte Kettleburn lit up Daltons life like nothing had before: he found himself falling head over heels in love with her, although it wasn't until they broke up that he admitted it to her. Because the reason they broke up was that she cared too much about Henry Whittebrooke, and the reason he loved her was that she had some much love in her heart.

Had Dalton been an emotional person, he might have cried. But instead he bottled it up, and the boy who had never cried remained tearless. Eventually, he passed his OWLs with surprisingly good grades and was accepted in WU Edinburgh to study potions.

Post-Hogwarts:

He didn't make too many extra friends during university, and sadly he drifted apart from lots of the ones he did have. All of his focus was on his studies, which he enjoyed immensely. Although loans helped, he worked part time as a librarian and then as a lab assistant during his course, which worked well as his masters meant he spent lots of time in the lab anyway.

After graduating, Charlotte helped him find a job with Gothsaint Enterprises as a potions intern. Although he enjoyed it, after a year he found himself restless and applied for a job within the Ministry of Magic, even though he wasn't sure he was qualified enough. Surprisingly, he was accepted, and started his new job more nervous than ever before.
