| About Randall |

Randy was the firstborn of Donna and Hector Stavros in the small town of Leeds, England. They were ecstatic to finally have a child, and were even more so delighted when, two years later, they had their daughter, Saison. Randy and Saison have been close their entire lives; their personalities mesh really well together, and so fights and disagreements are few and far between. As a child, he was easy going and fun-loving. He always had a sense of humor; pranks, jokes, muggle television were some of his passions. He joined theater as soon as he was old enough to memorize lines and remained interested in it throughout his Hogwarts and Uni years. His sister, a very gentle and easy-going soul, supports whatever her older brother wants to do and still to this day, does.

Signs of magic in Randy began when he was a toddler, but his first ACTIVE use of magic on purpose when he was six. He kind of, er, you know……..made a toilet SQUIRT upward as his father was just trying to relieve himself. It was a right laugh for the family even if it left the bathroom a mess. Stuff like that would follow Randy throughout his life even as he grew older and only SLIGHTLY more serious. He turned eleven and looked forward to Hogwarts, and when he eventually did arrive at school the hat pronounced him a Gryffindor after a mere three seconds on his head.

Once at school, Randy fit right into his house. While he did not perform extremely well in class, he thought of himself as one of the cleverest people he knew. He certainly didn’t fail or anything; but he was perfectly average. His charm and charisma was enough to make sure he had a lot of friends in school, and had this been a school with a class president position, Randy would have certainly won that. He was voted “Most Likely to Go to Azkaban” one of his years at Hogwarts mostly because of his willingness to break rules if it meant people were entertained and no one got seriously hurt. He graduated with as many OWLs and NEWTs as was necessary for business school.

And off he went.

University was a breeze mostly due to Randy wanting it to be OVER as quickly as possible and the classes being things that interested him; his father, having been a healer at a small private practice that caters towards regular checkups for children of magical youth, had always wanted his son to do something important with his life but also wanted his son to do anything that he enjoyed. When he was done with University, he moved back home with his parents to help with his father’s decreasing health; three years after he graduated, his father passed away, and while Randy was devastated, he was able to move on to trying to start his own business.

The problem was……….Randy hadn’t really given much thought to WHAT he wanted to own or anything, and the first couple of years after his father’s death were difficult. After startup after startup, each one failing, he decided to go into the restauranting business. He bought a curry and chips fusion restaurant in a muggle part of Leeds which failed EXTENSIVELY. In fact, he lost a LOT of his savings because of its failure, and it was back to square one with Randy. Not everything in his life was terrible, though - his sister became a healer, following in their dad’s footsteps, and he met the first love of his life - Ivena. As he began to progress with her, he also took over a new restaurant, this time a sandwich shop. That lasted for five years, until he turned 32. He and Ivena broke up due to his extreme obsession with running that restaurant, and soon after he sold the restaurant to take a much needed breather and rethink things in his life yet again.

It was then that he met the second love of his life. They got married after only three months and decided to buy a local toy store in Leeds - Randy’s first successful venture! The next decade unfolded like the stuff dreams are made of. He kept the toy store alive and actually excelled further while his love life also remained swell. He and his second wife enjoyed traveling on off seasons (when he could dare to leave the shop to management) and spent much time figuring themselves out, falling more in love, etc. When he turned 37, they decided to start having children. While they knew they would be older parents, they didn’t really care. They waited until they were ready, and now they were.

They have their girls close in succession, and about two years after little Mikayla was born, Randy and his wife began to discuss separating. It wasn’t like they were fighting or anything, but they just...weren’t feeling the magic. Rather than trying to force a spark that they both believed no longer existed, they peacefully divorced and remain close neighbors in order to take care of the girls.

Randy’s newest endeavor keeps him busy anyway. The PROUD new owner of WEASLEY WIZARD’S WHEEZES is ecstatic to have procured the joke shop and has SO many wonderful ideas to implement them. He still owns the toy store in Leeds, but he looks forward to spending his days in Diagon Alley. To new adventures!
