dragon research and restraint officer ¦ department of magical creatures ¦ british ministry
post color - black ¦ post font - franklin medium gothic Text Cut: Sloane
B A S I C S Name: Sloane Eris
D.O.B: 4th August 2063
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Born: Leeds, England
Grew up: Leeds, York and then Cardiff
Physical Description: Standing at an even 6’0, Sloane has dark brown hair which is usually pushed back away from his face. He has had a beard for the whole time he was abroad, but he’s trimmed it down to stubble in the attempt to look more put together. He has slightly broader shoulders than most of his family, but after years of working with dragons it isn’t a surprise. He has brown eyes that have seen their fair share of accidents and his hands are rough from the physical work he’s been doing since he left Hogwarts. Distinguishing Features: He wears his scars and burns like tattoos - he isn’t afraid or ashamed of them.
Most of his right shoulder and right side of his back is burnt after an injured Mother Hebridean Black caught him when they were trying to help heal her after she’d been fighting with her mate.
He has talon scar marks on his left calf from a Hungarian Horntail that decided Sloane had looked at him wrong, even though he had known him for over five years.
There are a variety of marks, scratches and healed scars littered over his body but none of them give him any bother. E M P L O Y M E N T Job Title: Dragon Research and Restraint Officer

Born the elder child of Simon and Stephanie Fry, Sloane was a happy child even if he had grown up running before he could walk which meant a constant slew of Healer check ups due to hitting his head off of a variety of furniture… but he always got back up with a giggle and went about playing- leaving his parents more worried than he was.
He was very unsure about the addition of “her”, but the toddler soon became a very fierce protector of his little sister, attempting to make sure that she didn’t run or fall over as much as he had. He tried to protect Susannah as much as possible, and told anyone that would listen about his sister Soooz and how he was her bruver. Sure, they fought over toys, but only he was allowed to pick on his sister, if anyone else even attempted to pick on the little girl - the six year old would have yelled at you within seconds. Even if he wasn’t in the least bit scary.
Christmas 2069 had been magical. He’d received his first toy broomstick, along with figurines of various dragons that shot our FIRE if you walked too close to them. He’d protectively set them up in a pen with his bricks, making sure that Soooz hadn’t gotten hurt as she’d cycled around the house on her new tricycle. Spending time with his parents and reading stories in their christmas lit room, they had brought in the New Year as a family and Sloane had been the happiest he could remember being, with a tummy full of chocolate, a bed full of dragons and a heart full of love.
9 days later, tragedy hit.
After they had dropped him at school, his parents and Soooz had been driving across England to go and visit some muggles friends they had - when they had gotten into a four car crash. Pressed from behind into an artic lorry, and trapped with other cars in the collison; his dad who had been driving, and his precious baby sister had died on the scene. The paramedics and emergency crew had managed to cut his mum out however she had died the next day at the hospital, her internal bleeding too intense to stem and repair.
With no surviving family aside from a Great-Great-Aunt in Germany who he’d never met and was already nearing 100, the authorities tried to find either a foster home for him or a space in an orphanage. He was placed with a family with two older sons - both of whom hated him and the fact that their parents thought they needed another child in the house - especially one that wasn’t biologically their sibling.
They were as polite as wax when their parents were around, but bullied him when they weren’t- both verbal and physically. They were as persistent as mosquitoes whenever they were alone and made sure that he had no friends in the surrounding neighbourhood or at school. Within five months, the boys had taken to complaining about how much he had been bullying them and about how much disruption he was causing them. Their parents believed them without proof, and berated Sloane - sending him to bed without dinner whenever the boys whined.
During the first month he was with them, he ended up having to see Healers about a break in his forearm but following that accident the boys were much more careful; being sure to only bruise him where it couldn’t be seen or where it would be easily explained. Their comments were harsh and mean on the ears of a seven year old already dealing with the grief of losing his whole family.
By the middle of the six month mark, the Parents complained and requested a transfer of his care to another family stating that he was causing nothing but problems and that he was obviously a misbehaving, troublesome boy who needed proper handling. Whatever that meant.
Within a month of complaining, Sloane was moved away from York, and to Wales - to move into the loving home of Derek and Carwyn Eris.
With a mixture of already adopted children, and an abundance of happily rehomed foster children, the model and sportsman seemed to have created somewhere that they could learn and grow into the adults that they were meant to be. They had protection to explore in the kitchen, grounds to play in, a library to expand their knowledge and a specific study where everyone went to complete their homework. Derek and Carwyn, along with external tutors and support, tried to give every foster and adoptive child a steady place to evolve before starting Hogwarts.
Moving into the house in the middle of Summer 2071 was both exhilarating and terrifying. The house was nothing like the small house he’d grown up in, and it was even less like the foster home he’d been in for the last 7 months where he had to watch out for ever poke, trip, prod and insult jabbed his way. The other foster children were as different from each other as chalk and cheese, but they all seemed happy to be there. To be somewhere safe - and it didn’t hurt that Derek and Carwyn Eris had a habit of falling in love with their foster children and adopting them as their own.
Considering his previous love of dragons, and that the brothers of his original foster home had teased him relentlessly about his stuffed dragon he had taken from home [and then had ripped it ‘accidentally’ so it had been thrown in the bin], Carwyn had called in his Aunt Terrwyn to talk to Sloane about dragons as she was a specialist in Common Welsh Greens and worked with a reserve in the mountains.
Sloane’s spare time was spent reading, not only about dragons but devouring the books in the library and in conversation with the other foster kids to see what they liked and why. He loved to learn, and the space and time with the Eris’ re-kindled his love of learning and of Dragons.
Sloane settled into the house so easily, that he was shocked when another family looked like they potentially wanted to adopt him. At 9 years old, he didn’t want to be uprooted again. Crying, he had gone to the men he now considered his Dad’s and had begged them not to make him go. That he’d behave. He’d do anything they wanted. He didn’t want to leave, don’t make him go.
A single look passed between them, and they nodded. The very next day, they started the process to adopt Sloane, and by the time he was 10, he was officially an Eris. With a home that couldn’t be taken away from him and a pack of siblings (both foster and adopted) at his side. Siblings who wanted to look out for him, to play with him, to learn with him. His heart still hurt with the loss of his parents and Soooz… but he had found his place again amongst the Eris’.
When he got his letter for Hogwarts, he got ready to join 5 of his siblings [Harrison and Connell in Ravenclaw, Lorelai and Loretta were in Hufflepuff and Morgan was a Gryffindor]. He was nervous, but they kept him sane on the journey there. He was sorted into Ravenclaw after a minute plus of a hatstall between Slytherin and Ravenclaw, and instantly start beside Harry and his girlfriend Parker.
While Hogwarts was eventful, nothing particularly exciting happened over the years. He studied, he did his homework, he flew with his friends - and although he tried out for the team he didn’t make it onto the Quidditch team. He excelled in CoMC and never forgot about his love of Dragons as he contemplated what he wanted to do when he graduated.
After a conversation with his Dads on the back of great OWL results, he looked into what he would need NEWT wise for entry into a creature course with a Dragon speciality at University and put out feelers to the various reserves across Europe to see which were not only looking for staff, but would be able to work with him as he got his degree and evolved into a caretaker.
Eventually, after turning down the Welsh reserve his Aunt worked at, he settled on Romania and once he finished his 7th year, he packed up and moved. He travelled back and forth to Turkey for University, working almost every day between studying and the reserve but he was determined to make something of himself. To make both his biological and his adoptive parents happy and proud of him. To show both Soooz and his little sister Sasha that anything was possible.
He graduated with Honours and ended up moving his way through the ranks slowly at the reserve, all the while loving the work he was doing and keeping the respect of the staff in every area of the reserve. There were a few accidents that caused him scars, and longer infirmary stays but nothing ever made him regret his choices; especially when it came to working with the amazingly talented people he did at the reserve or getting to help train the next generation of Dragon Handlers [shout out to Stevie-Rae who had no idea what she was doing when she arrived in Romania and ended up calling it home, much like him].
Helping to expand the reserve, and to protect the environment where they could take new babies in the world, protected and safe until they could grow. With the help of a variety of European reserves, they had managed to raise the populations of the several of their breeds and help to do the same in return.
He loved working at the reserve, however he is now edging towards forty and he has never been on a proper date. He hasn’t truly seen his nieces and nephews grow up this far, and he definitely hasn’t set his feet for a stable future. So, he has hung up his reserve boots for Ministry shoes and much to the joy of his Dads, has returned home.
