Short Description: In a few simple words, Archie could be described as the innovative go-getter type. Always practically putting himself out there and in the center of things, he never turns down an opportunity to have the spotlight on himself. It can almost be too much to a point where a lot of people would consider the teen as cocky; even more would say his ambition will be the death of him. Extremely witty with a gift of the gab. If things seem to be taking a turn for the worse, Archie is not afraid to step in and lead a group to get things done. But with this being said, he’s not a ‘it’s my way or the highway’, and will always allow said people to get from point A to point B in whichever way it would please them most; so long as point B was inevitably reached.

~ Da History ~
For most of his life, it was spent in a relative amount of lavishness and luxury.
Growing up in not necessarily an extremely wealthy family, however they were far from being considered impoverished, things went pretty smoothly. There wasn’t really any complaints given Archibold’s Pureblooded heritage either. Knowing Magic existed and was very much a real thing played an integral part within his life. Obviously, he couldn’t go around casting spells left and right, but just getting to rest upon this knowledge was simply enough as it was.
However, that wasn’t to say that he went life scot-free, he just didn’t let those moments shape his life in a negative kind of light. For example, due to the family always having magic, there was a sense of laziness for the simpler tasks sometimes. His mother went so far as to get one of those permanently enchanted quills so she didn’t have to actually go about writing her books herself. So, instead, he made it his goal to be consistently doing things and being productive. Likewise, due to their wealth, there was an air of privilege surrounding most of them and they tended to lean towards things that stuck to social norms of the upper-class wizarding world. His father, Rory, was the prime candidate for this. Typically calling those of less wealth, paupers, or other demeaning terms. This is what made the future Slytherin shy away from doing the very thing, as he didn’t necessarily see his father doing it as a ‘cool’ thing to do, and instead, he’d mostly only see the negative impact in which it had on those people being labeled as such.
Even through all that though, there was nothing but love for his family as much as they loved him. If there was one genuine complaint which carried up until this point, it was because of an incident with his younger brother, Finlay. Being the older brother, Archie made a point to lightly poke and jest towards the younger sibling. And one day, while the both of them were away at boarding school, he had went slightly overboard with some of the comments. What happened next was entirely an accident, and even back then Archie did come to that understanding as well. But long story short, the pencil that Finlay was holding found it’s way being lodged in the right hand of the older brother. It was a whole scene at the boarding school where both of them had almost been expelled, sparking a sense of rebellion deep down within the young lad. Because while all the teachers were still trying to paint Finlay as being a bad person for it, Archie didn’t agree in the slightest. If it wasn’t for his cleverness, it was almost certain that the two of them would have been let go of from the school.
Nevertheless, when he was 11, he finally got the long-awaited acceptance letter into the prestigious school, Hogwarts. Being placed in his mother’s former house, Slytherin, the first two years there went by as swimmingly as most of his life prior did. Which leads us to today; where now he is as ready as ever to delve deeper into the many untold secrets and stories in which the school had to offer.
