One of the famous co-founders of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw created Ravenclaw House in which only those characterized by their wit, learning, and wisdom are to be placed. The symbol of the house is the eagle. All eagles wear robes in the house colours blue and bronze. The house ghost whom you might run into around the castle is Rowena’s daughter Helena. Today the Eagles are going strong and continue to reign in some of the Wizarding World's brightest young witches and wizards.

Comfortable is Leo’s key word when it comes to how he dresses. He prefers wearing a simple shirt and jeans but dresses up for fancy occasions in tuxes or whatever is required. He isn’t picky about clothes but about his hair. He has since he was 6 years old thought that he will go bald before he is forty since all the men in the family has gone that route and that scares him. Leo also thinks that his parents made sure he’ll go bald since they named him Leobald which in his ears sealed his fate since bald in your name is omniscient. So he takes extra care of his hair to be wary of any hair falling off.

➐ Getting to know Me
Leobald was gifted from birth with book smarts and brains that can only be rivaled by few in his age group plus a photographic memory which made learning stuff a breeze. From the day he learned to read he could almost always be found with his head in book in his free time. When he went to Hogwarts, he from the beginning chose books and studying and getting good grades over making friends and socializing. His love for knowledge and the fact that he constantly got bullied for his name and knowledge made it easy for him to choose to be a loner.
It wasn’t until 4rd year that his head of house got involved since Leo’s temper had landed him in detention again for like the 5th time that year for hexing a peer. Sitting down with him the HoH learned the full story about the hair and the constant bullying and after some talk with his colleagues also that the knowledgeable boy had no friends. Perplexed the HoH made Leo sign up for quidditch and he even gave him homework to socialize more. For someone who chose books before living people it was a challenge to just make small talk at dinner or with a desk mate in class let alone doing it effortlessly and every day.
It didn’t make things easier that his temper flared up when people didn’t understand or didn’t believe him. In quidditch he actually showed some apt for the game but no passion so he always ended up on the keeper reserves but his HoH persisted that he should sign up each year since he needed the social interaction. Leo loved all types of trivia contests or games in classes since there he could sport his knowledge but again it led to him being bullied or just looked up on as someone looking to show off or be best.
At home in between terms his father tried to teach him to cook and bake but Leo was unfortunately a total failure in his father eyes since he couldn’t even boil an egg correctly. His dad also told him that which was disheartening to a young boy who wanted nothing more than his father’s approval. Instead Leo spent as much time as possible with his mum since she understood his passion for books and encouraged it.
As a man he is still slightly socially inept but he has made improvements. He feels insecure in big groups and always worry that people will misunderstand him or even look at him weirdly because of his broad knowledge. Leo is always on tense when meeting new people and tense usually means his temper is close too. One wrong mocking comment or joke about his hair might make his temper flare up and when he sees red he usually doesn’t think straight and that can lead to unpredictable actions. He is a patient man who is practical but not very good at communicating unless it is with just one other person since he tends clam up.
➑ It's all in a days Work
2065-2067 manager of Kitridges books, a book shop in Oxford
2067-2070 Attended university in New York, acquiring his library technician licence
2070-2072 worked as a fisherman supplying fresh fish to the local grocery stores
2073-2076 Substitute professor at Salem institute of magic/ news reporter
2077-> Librarian at Hogwarts and Gobstones Advisor
2083-> Asked to become the new head of house of Ravenclaw
2086-> Appointed Quill Staff Adviser
After Hogwarts Leobald was sucked into the family business and helped opened and manage a new book shop his mother opened in downtown Oxford. Leo helped out while his mother was carrying his youngest sister Rose. When his mum got back into managing he fled the field to see the world ending up in New York. Taking several courses at the local university whilst learning how to fish from his mate Ben, he after 3 years was a certified library technician. Persuaded by his mate to make his hobby his profession Leo worked 2 years as a fisherman supplying fresh fish to grocery stores. Going up at the crack of dawn and doing hard work from dusk to dark was only fun for a short time.
Leaving the work as fisherman he searched for new challenges and took up the position as substitute professor at Salem Institute of magic and held it for 3 years teaching classes in a wide variety of subjects including his school favourites of charms, history of magic, herbology and Comc. In the years at Salem he tried a bit of news reporting on the side but it wasn’t something he enjoyed so he gave it up after 6 months. Resigning from his position at Salem, Leo moved back home to Oxford to be near his family again and to re-connect with his sisters whom he had missed dearly while away in the States. Content with being home and helping out at the family book shop he was surprised when Headmaster Tate of Hogwarts came calling wondering if he’d be interested in the vacant librarian position. Accepting without thinking much about it Leobald is now on his way to start working at his former school.
➒ The life Story
Leobald was born as the eldest son of Frank and Charlotte Kitridge on a rainy day in Oxford, England on May 2nd 2047. Being born into a family with mixed heritage in the lines boded for an upbringing with influences from both the muggle and magical world. From the day he was born Leo was surrounded by books and his father’s cooking. He learned to read almost as quickly as he showed magical abilities. Like all Kitridge’s his mother most especially he as he got older got more stubborn and also acquired a feisty temper when aroused. In his youth the temper usually resulted in throwing things around but luckily that has happened more seldom in adulthood.
When he was 3 his sister Ariel came into the world and they grew close as siblings usually do living close and playing with each other. One thing Leo hated was that Ariel instead of calling him Leo kept calling him ‘baldie’. It made him self-conscious and broody when he learned what bald meant from his father. From that day on he has paid extra attention to his hair and the few unlucky people who have called him ‘bald’ have been hexed through the years. 6 years after Ariel a new girl was born into the family; Rose.
Leo's temper isn't to be taken lightly; when aroused it has resulted in him serving plenty of punishments in his youth like cleaning out the weed in the vegetable patch, cleaning all the bathrooms or not being allowed to read books and at Hogwarts detention. His temper usually quiets down if Leo gets distracted by talking by books or fishing or taking a stroll but that is if someone stops him before he starts throwing things. If not then take cover and wait for the storm to pass.
During his Hogwarts years Leo showed apt in his studies and got high marks in most subjects since learning came easy to him. He took part in all games especially trivia or chess since he liked the strategy and found the games fun and exciting. When it came to friends he didn't exactly have any to speak of until his HoH got involved but even then Leo only kindled cautious relationships with his peers scared to get burned like he had in his previous years. Graduating from Hogwarts he had made a few friends and had dated one girl name Chelsea Oakheart which he kept dating for a few years until they drifted apart, the friends he has kept in touch with and cherishes fiercely.
After Hogwarts he has tried out a number of professions over the years like fisherman, shop manager, substitute professor and news reporter with different success. Currently as of term 43, 2089 he is still working as the school Librarian, Gobstones Advisor and Ravenclaw Head of House and is married to a snappy blond.

Personality: Penelope is very curious about everything, and can often be found reading in the library or in the Ravenclaw common room. Can be very quiet and shy. Penelope takes a while to warm up to people, but once she is comfortable around someone she is less quiet. Penelope is uncomfortable in large crowds and prefers to be alone or with a small group of people. After spending time in a large group of people, she may need some time to just be alone. She is sometimes very emotional, which may be because her sun sign is Cancer and her moon sign is in the first house on her birth chart, but probably has more to do with being a teenager. Ravenclaw angst is real and not just limited to Ravenclaws. Wants to make younger students feel welcome and help them if they need it. When she is not at Hogwarts she helps her father at his second hand book shop and takes care of all the animals at home. Penelope is protective of her Ravenclaws. After she has completed her assigned homework for the day, she can often be found studying muggle maths and sciences on her own.

Haddie Denaker is, actually, quite smart. Her grades don’t always show this, however, as Haddie, as well as her twin, Nat, more often prefer to apply their intelligence to their own fun and amusement, usually in the form of harmless pranks. Hadley is adventurous, independent, and fiercely loyal to those she cares about, but if you break her trust, you’ll find quite impossible to regain.
She can be self-centered at times, without realizing it. She can also be exceptionally patient when she wants to be, and extremely impatient when she doesn’t. Haddie is also known to stubbornly hold onto a single goal, even long after it should have been abandoned. She can have a mischievous streak at times, and will, at times, willfully disregard rules when it suits her.
Natalie, her twin sister, isn’t all that different. She just tends to be better at hiding it when she’s getting into trouble.
Haddie also has a habit of naming everything.
❧ Background/History
SPOILER!!: EARLY YEARS
Natalie Denaker was born on September 2, 2076, at 6:23 A.M. Her twin sister, Hadley, came into the world exactly 13 hours and 11 minutes later. The two have been nearly inseparable ever since. Which is why it took so long for their parents to realize the truth…
Bizarre things seemed to happen around the girls quite often. Sometimes it was easy to explain away – I’m sorry, Mark, I didn’t realize the bike was purple (Haddie’s favorite color at the time), it looked red under the lighting at the store – And other times, it just defied all rational explanation, like that time in first grade a boy, who had been picking on Nat, suddenly had the misfortune to sprout fur all over, leaving everyone scratching their heads, except Mr. and Mrs. Denaker, who simply gave their girls a stern look, and kept silent.
The girls secretly loved the strange things that happened, especially Natalie. To them it was a sign they were secretly fairy princesses sent into hiding to be raised by humans for their own protection and Nat would often regale Haddie with stories of what their fairy kingdom was like. Naturally, being older, she remembered such things.
It was assumed the odd things that happened centered around, or maybe were even caused by, both girls. Until the third grade that is. At the end of their second grade year, their school expressed concerned the girls weren’t branching out and making friends beyond each other, and it was decided that the girls would be in separate classrooms next year. This did not go over well with the girls, both of whom remained stubbornly upset about it well into the school year. Natalie’s class remained perfectly, boringly ordinary, much to Nat’s dismay. Haddie’s on the other hand… In the first month alone all the textbooks in the classroom became illegible gibberish, the teacher found herself stuck firmly to her chair for an entire day, and half the class came down with a temporary case of laryngitis that doctors couldn’t explain, given that none of them were actually sick. It was decided, discreetly, to put the girls back in the same class for fourth grade.
Recently, Mrs. Denaker, an award-winning chef, was offered a job as head chef of a five star restaurant in the heart of London. So, the summer before their 11th birthday, the girls moved with their family to England. Not everyone was completely thrilled about moving. It did, at least, answer questions about their daughter’s unique gift by way of their new neighbors, who, as part of the wizarding world recognized Haddie’s talents for what they were. Also the small clerical error which mislabeled Haddie’s birthday, resulting in her getting an acceptance letter a year earlier than she should have, helped. The mistake was quickly fixed and Haddie received a hearty “see you next year” in its place.
After a month of begging and pleading, Haddie finally got her parents to take her to Diagon Alley to see her new world for the first time, their neighbor acting as escort. There she met Rachel Watson, and the two became friends, keeping in touch via Haddie's owl, Wimple (a birthday gift from her neighbor). She has also spent the year babysitting for their neighbor, earning some spending money for the wizarding world.
Natalie, however, hasn't taken the news that her twin sister is a witch and will be attending Hogwarts without her very well. This has left the girls' relationship increasingly strained over the year.
SPOILER!!: FIRST YEAR (2088-2089)
Hadley's year started off with the discovery her cousin, Ailsa, who she hadn't seen since she was 7, was also a witch starting Hogwarts. The two couldn't be more different. It was no surprise when Ailsa, as well as Haddie's best friend, Rachel, were sorted into Ravenclaw. It was, however, a shock when Hads was also sorted into Ravenclaw. Hadley is still convinced that the sorting hat made a mistake and she should have been put into Gryffindor. Many of her housemates feel the same, and avoid the un-Ravenclaw-esque Eagle as much as possible.
Trouble started at the feast, when a food fight was started by the Gryffindors. Though ordered by the Ravenclaw Prefects not to throw food back, Hads still joined in, using a loophole: instead of throwing the food, she dumped, smashed or splattered the others with it. As punishment she was made to help clean the bookshelves in the library with Mr. Kitridge and Kitty Valentine the next morning (her birthday). Peeves, upset he missed the fun the night before started another food fight in the library. Later that night during the Eagle raffle, more mayhem broke out when the prize chest turned out to be full of ferrets and pygmy puffs. After helping to capture all the critters, the Eagles were allowed to keep one of them as a pet. Haddie snuck a pygmy puff in her pocket while openingly choosing to keep an ash grey ferret she named Asher. She later gave the pygmy puff to Noelle, a second year Gryffindor that lost hers over a terrible incident over summer.
Hadley's first Nemesis was Davie Truebridge, the horrible 2nd year boy that blew up at her for not knowing who Harry Potter or George Weasley were. The boy Rachel was crushing on. This came to a head when, later in the year, Rachel invited Davie to a magical hide-and-seek game Hadley had set up with Prefect Penny. Hadley felt betrayed and refused to speak to Rachel for months. The two eventually made up, in part due to the help of Natalie, Hadley's twin, over the Christmas break. Nat and Hads made up, and Nat helped her come to her senses. Hadley then had to drop the bombshell that she wasn't going to be returning to Hogwarts next year, thanks to her Dad somehow finding out about both the Hag trying to cook them all, and the Potions Professor poisoning the class.
Davie was eventually replaced as Hadley's Nemesis with the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, James Draper, who she secretly hexed at the end of term feast, causing him to dance uncontrollably. She was assisted by the Herbology Professor, Paul Myers, who magicked up a tutu for Draper.
Upon returning home, Hadley learned that it was more than just not returning to Hogwarts. Her Dad didn't want her to have any contact with the Wizarding World, feeling it was too dangerous. That included seeing or communicating with her friends. Haddie didn't accept that and disobeyed as much as she could, forcing her Dad to take some rather extreme measures to get his daughter's obedience. It worked, but hasn't helped their relationship much, and the two are almost constantly butting heads, often quite explosively. It became clear to Haddie's Mom and siblings that putting distance between Hadley and her father might be the best thing at this time...
Confusingly, Hadley was one of the nobel prize for potioneering recipients despite being horrible at potions.

History:
SPOILER!!: Here
During her first six years of life, Maddie spent much of her time with her mother, Gina, an acclaimed artist who worked from home. Gina felt it important to expose her daughter to art in its many forms. The two spent hours touring local museums, galleries, and creating their own works of art in the studio at their house in Watford. These early experiences instilled a love of art and appreciation for beauty in Maddie that is still very much present today.
Not long after her sixth birthday, the brunette noted that her parents were fighting more often. Her mother, worried about the state of her marriage, decided that she needed a more stable career in case she ever needed to rely solely on her own income. With this in mind, she eventually found herself a position at the Tate Modern as a Currator. While this was good news for Gina, it meant traveling and less time spent with her only daughter. Still, it was something Mrs. Cooper felt she needed to do as a strong, independent woman. Maddie would come to admire her mother's initiative, though the feelings of abandonment would still linger for years to come.
Maddie's relationship with her father had been strained for as long as she was able to talk. Being a man who believed strongly in discipline and strength of character, Harrison was never quite able to connect with his little girl. He found her inquisitive nature and interests in the things her brothers were doing inappropriate. There was also the fact that her delicate nature made her weak, something Harrison sought to remedy. His extreme measures created a hardened little girl, stubborn much like her father, but with little other connection to him than that. The two very rarely talk, and Maddie has always felt the need to prove herself to him, though she fully understands her efforts may not be acknowledged.
Because of her mother's travels and her father's indifference, Maddie found that when not in school, she was left in the care of her three older brothers. Vinny and Leo were quick to express their displeasure at this, which always made the youngest Cooper feel like a burden. Benny, though also feeling the weight of having to look after a child that wasn't his, made an effort with his sister. The two have probably the strongest connection of all the siblings and have built up a strong respect for one another over the years. Despite this, Maddie was often left to her own devices. This meant learned independence from a very young age and a sort of forced maturity. It also meant the brunette would have trouble asking for help from others in the future.
By the time Maddison was Hogwarts age, she was eager to get away from her life in Hertfordshire and experience somewhere new. She hoped to find a home there at the castle, as she never quite felt like she belonged in the one she'd grown up in. Looking for her place in the world, the eleven year old boarded the train and set off for a new beginning.

Mother: Marley Prince ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Biological Mother: Yasmin Wode (d. 10th March 2076) Biological Father: Jake Upstead (unknown)
SCHOOL
Class of: 2094 Strongest Subjects: _____ Astronomy _____ Ancient Runes _____ Defence Against the Dark Arts (not incl. practical application) _____ History of Magic
Prior to Hogwarts, Daxton attended a total of three muggle primary schools, the last of which was his local school in Cornwall, where he was enrolled from the age of seven. Though he enjoys learning and knowing things purely for the sake of it, he has never been a fan of being stuck in a classroom or of school in general, finding it easy and incredibly boring and allowing for very little creative learning. He prefers learning things in his own time and his own way, leading him to ignore the curriculum (and get below-average marks despite a genius-level IQ) and read up on subjects as and when it suits him.
Even before Hogwarts, Daxton had a vast array of knowledge beyond the muggle curriculum for his age group, particularly in subjects such as muggle history, literature, mythology, and science. He started teaching himself French and German (and Quenya, a result of his obsession with the Tolkien books) at age nine, and can understand and write these languages near-perfectly. In lieu of speaking, he has also been learning French and German Sign Language; however, with limited resources, this has proved to be a challenge. Additionally, Daxton has been teaching himself guitar since age eleven, and piano since age twelve. He has been interested in art and drawing for as long as he has been able to hold a pen, and is a proficient artist. Despite a high level of skill and intelligence in various areas, Daxton is severely lacking in social skills and etiquette, has very little knowledge or understanding of right and wrong, and his empathy level is non-existent. He tries to be careful and selective about displaying both his skills and his shortcomings, preferring his that as many facets of his personality as possible remain a mystery to those around him.
*According to Daxton, there is no such thing as a 'weakest subject' for him. He grasps the theoretical side of all his classes with ease and considers his weakest subjects to be labeled so either because of his current inability to perform official spells (due to being unable to speak) or because of a simple lack of interest. Currently, there are only a handful of subjects that Daxton considers to be worth his time, for various reasons. His interest in actual lessons is almost non-existent, due to his dislike of groups of people and noise, and tendency to get bored very quickly. Therefore, most of Daxton's studying is done on his own, through library books and textbooks stolen from older students, and he regularly skips classes and avoids homework, seeing little point in either. He has a particularly strong interest in Defence Against the Dark Arts - due in part, most likely, to his naturally high levels of suspicion and distrust - and despite being refused assistance, is taking measures to try and teach himself both Occlumency and Legilimency. He is also in the process of inventing several new spells that would work to his advantage and make the world easier for him to navigate, though is stuck with perfecting on the theoretical aspect until he is able to experiment with the practical application of the spells.
While Daxton does not currently talk, it is a goal of his professors to get him to say the incantations to be able to cast spells by the end of his third year. Daxton is aware that if he cannot manage this in order to pass the exams at the end of his third year, he will not be able to continue at Hogwarts - this is counterproductive in his eyes, because while he does not care much for school, the resources at Hogwarts are like nothing he would otherwise be able to access. While his mother and professors are working with him to try and get him comfortable enough to talk, Daxton has been trying (on his own) to learn to cast non-verbal spells, despite the knowledge that he is supposed to perfect the spells verbally first. So far, he has had limited success, only managing to send small 'zapping' shocks with his wand. As this is not an 'official' spell, and because he always had a significant amount of control over his magic before even attending Hogwarts, Daxton does not consider this to be very much progress at all. As a result, Daxton is currently of the belief that Hogwarts (and the magical government in general) has, in fact, intentionally 'blunted' his magical ability.
PERSONALITY
Daxton is incredibly solitary and usually prefers his own company. Thoroughly lacking in social skills and knowledge of social subtleties, he is terrible with manners, pleasantries, and other niceties. As such, he can be incredibly blunt, to-the-point, and overly honest with those he does manage to communicate with, which often means that most social interactions he is involved in will likely have a negative outcome. Though for the most part his rudeness and mean attitude is unintentional, on occasion Daxton will go out of his way to be unpleasant to prevent anyone from liking or being nice to him. Because of this, he is not particularly likeable or approachable, and many prefer to give him a wide berth. This does not bother Daxton in the slightest. He also hates affection.
Daxton is considered by many to be 'strange' or a 'weird kid'. He does not speak, has never uttered a single word at Hogwarts, and has a number of peculiar habits, such as roaming Hogwarts whilst wearing neither shoes nor socks - even in the winter months - and his curious fixation with other people's hair. Daxton is at his most comfortable when he is allowed to indulge in these habits, though they mainly serve to reinforce his reputation of being strange. Additionally, Daxton is on edge at all times. He lives in a state of constant anxiety, always on the lookout any perceived threat, making him incredibly suspicious, bordering on paranoid. This makes social interaction all the more difficult, and makes it hard for Daxton to trust people, or act in a way that might make people like or trust him. For the most part, he totally avoids any situations which overload or overwhelm him, or anything that makes him too anxious.
While Daxton is not necessarily a deliberate troublemaker, he has a penchant for getting into troublesome situations, due in part to his lack of knowledge of social norms and boundaries, lack of filter, and occasionally his temper. Though he is apathetic about most things, he has a constant underlying anger and an explosive temper, particularly when he is overwhelmed or feels threatened in some way. This can result in his lashing out in one way or another. Occasionally he will seek out conflict with someone, purely because the mood strikes him, and will not feel satisfied or calm until he has succeeded in doing so. Daxton sees little issue with doing whatever he wants; he finds most rules pointless and treats them more as guidelines, views people according to their usefulness, and uses them accordingly, but he is adamant that he does not need help from anyone. He is incredibly independent, remarkably resourceful, and prefers to operate alone in most - if not all - things. Daxton has a very Ravenclaw-ish tendency to take advantage of loopholes in the rules; if he does not want to follow the rules at all, he will weigh up pros and cons before any and every course of action, and usually attempt to find a way around the matter - that is, if he does not choose to defy the rules entirely.
A benefit of being silent and mostly left alone is that Daxton has a lot of time to think. He watches and notices everything, and is incredibly calculating. If someone or something takes his interest, Daxton will devote a lot of thought and attention to the subject in question. He is always thinking, always considering certain lines of thought, always brainstorming ideas, but never lets anyone in on exactly what goes on inside his head. He is incredibly curious and determined to learn more every day, though usually not related the topics he is 'supposed' to be focusing on at school. Daxton also appears deceptively emotionless; despite often feeling things very strongly, he has an almost totally flat affect - which is only partly intentional - and he will often be seen wearing a totally impassive, unreadable expression.
On rare occasion, Daxton has been known to form strong, but strange and atypical attachments to particular people. These mostly manifest - due to his otherwise general aloofness and closed-off personality - in his 'claiming' those people. He refuses to share, and therefore becomes incredibly jealous and angry whenever 'his' people (he does not use the word 'friend') are more focused on others. Additionally, though Daxton does not care about being noticed by most people, he has been known to display negative attention-seeking behaviour around a select few members of staff. In day-to-day life, he becomes uncomfortable, upset, or angry - though completely outwardly despondent - if any attention he receives is of a positive nature.
HISTORY
Daxton was born to a single mother, Yasmin Wode, the result of a brief relationship with a young man named Jake Upstead (a wizard, though Yasmin was not aware of this). At the time of his birth, Daxton was given the name Daniel Wode. His mother died suddenly only three months later, and with the identity of his father unknown to anyone and Yasmin’s family unable to take in a baby, Daxton was taken into foster care. After a rough start in life, including placement after disastrous placement with various foster families, Daxton was placed with Marley Prince shortly after he turned seven. He claimed to remember nothing of his life before his initial placement with Marley, and to this day remains steadfastly resolute on the matter. She soon adopted him, at which pointed his name was legally changed to Daxton Xavier Prince.
Shortly thereafter, Marley and Daxton moved from London to Cornwall, to be closer to Marley’s parents and away from expensive city life. For various reasons and as a result of sheer bad luck, the family soon fell on hard times financially, just barely making ends meet, which has been the case ever since. During this time, Daxton, who went completely non-verbal at the age of four, began occasionally speaking in Marley’s presence, once he started to feel comfortable with her. To this day, she is the only person in his life to hear him speak (though since starting Hogwarts and becoming more unsettled, Daxton has again stopped talking; the last time his mother heard him speak was shortly before his first year at school). Now the two live in a small bungalow in Cornwall, England, without the involvement of any outside help, with Marley also now trying to support her elderly and unwell mother (moreso since the death of her father) as well as herself and her son.
Throughout his life, Daxton has shown what are unmistakeable signs of magic, particularly when angry or upset or otherwise distressed (such as during nightmares or meltdowns). Such displays (including, but not limited to, smashing nearby windows, small explosions, doors and windows slamming, things flying across the room) were often put down as 'one of those funny things' by inevitably ignorant muggle teachers, though sometimes Daxton got in trouble. While his mother was quite aware that something was definitely going on, she was reluctant to mention anything to anyone, and his abilities ended up being another 'Daxton thing'. At the age of ten, Daxton started to form a small degree of control over this magic while still not knowing the reason behind it, though this control was mostly limited to making things move and fly around the room, and helping him to steal things that took his fancy. Displays of accidental magic were still an occasional (and large-scale) occurrence.
On his eleventh birthday, Daxton and his mother received a visit from Hogwarts professor, Airey Flamsteed, who informed them both that Daxton was, in fact, a wizard. Though initially distrustful and unsure of this strange man in his red and gold suit, it didn't take much to for Daxton (or his mother) to believe he was magic. Daxton's mother accepted a Hogwarts hardship fund, and in the months leading up to his first term at Hogwarts, they visited Diagon Alley to buy the required school supplies, meeting several other wizarding children in the process.

History -
Born on a warm summer night of June 4th, 2076 in Bristol, England Noah James Diggory is the first born son and second biological child of Savannah Mae-Diggory and Curtis Diggory, joining big sister Hayley, whom was a mere five-years-old at the time. It wasn't until two years later, Noah became a big brother to baby sister, Skylar. And for the next eight years, it would be just the three of them - Not including their 'cousins' next door, the Krums.
From a young age, Noah was learning all he could about flying and Quidditch, deciding early on that this would be his life - he was determined, he would be just like his dad, and aunt Alexis - both of whom were chasers for the Montrose Magpies for fourteen, and fifteen years respectively. While his dad had been in a nearly fatal accident during a game when Noah was about six years old, which left him with no other choice but to retire, his aunt continued on and later became the team's very own coach. Noah attempted to take a leaf out of his mum's book, too, and take up an interest in creatures. His mum, a skilled creature healer of many years, was more than happy to bring him along to work and teach him all she knew - but it seems Noah took after his dad, and has.. rather unfortunate luck when it comes to other species.
In March of 2086, just a few months before his tenth birthday, Noah became a big brother again to twin siblings, making their family complete. Atleast, he had thought so.. until a couple short weeks later, when his fifteen-year-old godbrother, Logan Fowler, came to live with them. Noah hardly remembered him due to being so young the last time he had visited, and wasn't the most welcoming in the beginning. Jealous, and not wanting anyone to take his place as the eldest Diggory son, it took some effort on Logan's part to coax Noah into not hating him so much and convince him he was in no way trying to steal his spot within his family, but by the time of his sixteenth birthday, when the Diggory's made the decision to adopt Logan and legally make him part of their family despite him being just a year away from adulthood, Noah was more than happy to call Logan his big brother.
After summer, life went on as life does, and Noah returned to school. Like his older sister, Noah attended a muggle school not far from home, and would continue to for one last year - just until the summer of his eleventh birthday. Coming from a halfblood background, his parents thought it would be for the best and make their children more well-rounded, and Noah had little complaints. He got along with the muggle children just fine, most days. Still, he could hardly contain his excitement the day a snowy owl dropped in through their kitchen for him. He finally received his Hogwarts, and was finally going to go to Hogwarts.
It was just a shame his little sister, Skylar, cousin Hazen, and family friend Hattie Paton wouldn't be able to join him for another two years.

Name: Sabbath Gimenez Nicknames: Sabbie Date of Birth: Sunday, 10 November, 2075 Age: 14 years old Blood: Mixed Place of Birth: Granada, Andalusia, Spain Current residence: Hogwarts, England Languages: English, Spanish, Caló (language of Spanish Roma) Year: Third Year House: Ravenclaw
Coming from muggle beginnings, Sabbath’s immersion at Hogwarts has been a sharp learning curve. His wanderlust, has gotten him into some sticky binds since his arrival, not the least was being kidnapped by a Goblin and child trafficking witch and held prisoner for an extended period of time in Knockturn Alley. But, he survived, and returned to school as a testament to his resilience alongside his girlfriend, Noelle.
Magical Attributes: Wand: 12 1/3 inch stiff Silver Lime with Dragon Heartstring (Hungarian Horntail) Mirror of Erised: The truth about his mother and father Boggart: The death of his grandmother Amortentia: Seville orange blossom Best Subjects: Charms, astronomy Least Favourite/Worst Subjects: Arithmancy Pets: Shares a hedgehog named ‘Chico” with his girlfriend, Noelle. Misses caring for his cousin José’s horses back home in Spain.
Appearance Eye Colour: Intensely dark Hair: very long, dark Height: 165cm
Family History:
Sabbath is Gitano (Spanish Roma) and is intrinsically connected to his extended Romany family who are very close knit and protective. They are mostly based in Granada, but travel throughout Spain and occasionally abroad as performers of the flamenco arts. His grandmother who was also flamenco dancer in her younger years, is a most respected matriarchal figure in the family, and still takes part in performances as a singer, helping to provide a steady income for her brood.
Intrigue surrounds Sabbath’s family background. The truth behind his conception remains a family secret, which Sabbath longs to unlock. To his knowledge, an only child, raised by his grandmother, Sabbath had always been told that his mother became pregnant following a violent attack. It was a painful subject for his grandmother, so she refused to discuss it. However, one drunken night after the third night of celebrations at a cousins wedding, Sabbath’s uncle let slip that his mother and father had, in fact, loved each other very deeply. The relationship had been strongly forbidden by both of their respective families and because they were both very young, the lovers had been forcefully separated, but not before Sabbath had been conceived. Sabbath’s father had never known he existed and immediately following Sabbath’s birth, his mother was sent to live with extended family abroad. Sabbath tries to remain stoic and maintains that it doesn’t matter to him, but, in actuality he has a deep desire to know the truth and fervently hopes his parents had a profound and true love for each other.
To this day Sabbath does not know the identity of his father, only assuming that he must have indeed been a wizard. As far as he knows, Sabbath is the first of the wizarding kind within his large Romany family. Despite not knowing his father, Sabbath has had a strong male influence in his life, his Romany heritage meant many uncles and cousins travelled and lived with him. The clan also have rich heritage of music and dance and make their living performing. The family men are teaching Sabbath to play flamenco guitar and he also dances flamenco.
Personality:
Sabbath has had a tough upbringing but it has strengthened him rather than weakened him. He is wise beyond his years and very independent. Raised and sometimes schooled by his grandmother and other Romany elders (and generally enjoying the company of older people), he maintains his own ‘old world charm’. He has always been taught to use his wiles and wit to get ahead. He believes that manners usually get you further than arrogance.
Although he has a great camaraderie with his mates, he has always been taught to respect women and girls, and has always enjoyed being in their company. When he was little, his aunties loved to coddle him and had gushed over his intense eyes. He learnt at a young age to use their intensity to his advantage. Sabbath is fiercely loyal to his family and friends, but is very selective about who he admits to his close circle. Although he tries to be impassive, he has a soft spot for the underdog.
Likes:
Girls.
Playing guitar and performing flamenco
Hanging out with his girlfriend, Noelle.
His grandmothers Olla de San Antón (pork, bean and sausage casserole)
Churros with Spanish hot chocolate
Playing capoeira with his cousins
Helping with his uncles horses
Relaxing with his loved ones and
Now that he is old enough, joining in the night time drinks and revelries with the men while singing and playing bulerias (style of singing and playing flamenco). He particularly loves the oral histories told by the Romany elders and sharing in their depictions through music.
Dislikes:
Noah Diggory
Being away from his family
People who play the fool
Cruelty to animals
Not knowing the truth about his father and mother

Name: Katherine Mary Moss Date of Birth: 31st of August, 2077 Place of Birth: Uppingham, England House: Ravenclaw Heritage: Half and half Wand: 9 1/2 inch solid Ebony with Unicorn Hair Patronus: TBA Boggart: TBA
Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue Height: 1.45 m In general: She is slim.
in-depth
All you need to know is the future.
Text Cut: History - for the curious
History: The family of Moss is an outcast branch of the Dolohov - they were banished from the 'noble' family during the First Wizarding War because of Katherine's grandfather's 'inadequate' loyalty to the Dark Lord, which is the political way of saying that they were scared to serve the Dark Lord and inferior to the pureblood family in means of magical ability. Even their surname was changed to 'Moss' - a parasitic plant. They were sent to Uppingham to live there, away from the Dolohovs. And when the Dark Lord fell, the Moss wisely kept their new surname to stay away from, essentially, Azkaban. However, this name of 'inferior' hurt them quite a lot, and they vowed to prove it to the world that they are perfectly capable . . .
Except, Katherine's dad, Paul, wasn't the brightest of his class. Shortly after graduation, he started dating a muggle girl from the town - Jane and soon enough (in 6 months, and two weeks later he said he was a wizard), they were married. Even though the family never mentioned the Dolohovs, she somehow learnt. And she is ambitious. And she vowed to show it to the world that the Moss aren't moss. Therefore, you can guess how Katherine's childhood was: she was raised as the perfect girl. The good, polite girl who always knows how to behave and what to say, who is also (thankfully!) very clever. Did you know that she started speaking full sentences when she was one year old? That her magic showed very strongly (better than her dad, presumably) at 2? And that she could read at four? Well, you know now. She is a wonderkid, no doubt, and she WILL restore the family's name quite soon.
Her first year at Hogwarts
As every other eleven year old witch and wizard, Katherine had been VERY excited to start the school. She had got ready for this moment for all of her life: she had literally specifically solved puzzles in case they changed the sorting requirements into Ravenclaw. She had also read all of the first year textbooks and Hogwarts: A History twice. She knew everything a first year ought to know before she even started - and she was ready for the school.
She met Blaise Bellaire (DaniDiNardo) while waiting for the train, and they became instant friends. Then, because Daxton was a second year, he left her to find his own friends and her FIRST EVER train ride had to be with a boy called Torrance (DJ ExpelliarMOOSE) or whatever, who was one of the rudest people she had ever seen, and they left the train hating each other (the same boy went onto stealing her SHOES during the charms lesson and accusing HER, the idiot). Thankfully, the boat ride compensated that and she met Callum Kettleburn (feeheeheeny), who was very clever and friendly. Then came the sorting ceremony and she was sorted into Ravenclaw in mere seconds - the Hat didn't even touch her head! Grinning from ear to ear, she made her way to the table of her dreams, ready to enjoy the feast -
Which turned into a MASSIVE food fight... started by her FIRST EVER magical friend, Blaise.
She spent the whole feast under the table, crying and hungry. Was this truly the Hogwarts, the best wizarding school? She didn't know... but it was an awful start, and she hoped it would get better.
It did get better, albeit slightly, during the Ravenclaw Welcome Party. They got to have proper food - until they had to deal with a swarm of ferrets and pygmy puffs. It wasn't so bad, especially for someone who'd weathered a food fight - until she met her future enemy: Hadley Denaker (Callie). She used Katherine, the epitome of rule-abiding, as a shield while she took not one but TWO animals, even though they were allowed to take only one. Katherine didn't say anything, but she wrote the name down... and she wasn't wrong to assume the girl was the epitome of TROUBLE.
Things turned sour again at her FIRST EVER class: It was charms and she was forced to climb heights - her biggest fear, and even though she had completed the assignments, it had been one of the worst traumas of her life. She hated every moment of it and had nightmares afterwards.
Had it been all tears and no smiles? No; she met David Truebridge (BanaBatGirl), who happened to share her passion for Hogwarts: A History and who thought that every first year must read it once as well. He was a friend she could trust, and she felt that she finally had made a proper one.
Life went on pretty boringly - the classes weren't really a novelty, as she had already gone over all the textbooks once and knew what to expect. Her biggest achievement so far in life was when she had TEA with the Headmistress (a memory she would fondly remember). All went more or less fine, even though she did feel a bit lonely, until... divination. The class, where a Hag, thought to be the divinations professor... tried to cook a boy... and captivate them all... until her idols Mrs. Moxley and Mr. Draper came to rescue. The Hag ran into the woods, but they were all safe.
Then, she went through a trauma: as she had been using the GIRL's bathroom, a BOY entered on the grounds that he really needed to - to use it and that the boy's bathroom was too far away. She didn't let such a scandal, of course, and then Myrtle came and also the Ravenclaw prefect Penelope Wright (griffin) came and the boy, Rooney Bronwyn (Shanners), made a complete mess of himself by falling onto filthy toilet water and getting soaked (she was sure he'd also wetted himself). It was... one of the lowest a person could get, honestly, but the professors didn't learn about it and the same boy became a prefect the next term.
Anyways, she managed to keep clear of a doll everyone kept talking about. She also kept clear of any and all trouble people seemed to be having, until... the final points were in, and she realised she hadn't been as successfu as she had hoped to be. Her world was crushed. She had been successful all her life, and now, suddenly, she was an average. She analysed what she had done over the whole year for three full days and came to this conclusion:
She wasn't trying hard enough.
She had to keep away from the leeches in her life, i.e. Haddley Denaker (Callie) and Blaise Bellaire.
She needed no friend if she wanted to be focused and successful.
So she said goodbye to Daxton in her own way, became even more determined to hate Haddie and limit her life between common room, great hall, library and classes. With these ideas in mind, she got onto the train back to spend the whole summer reading the second year's textbooks.
Family: Her mother is Jane Ruth (neé: Rutlandson) and her dad is Paul John Moss. She doesn't have any kids or cousins on her dad's side. On her mum's, she has a few muggle cousins but they don't see them much.
personality
She is successful. If you really want to know more, she is ambitious, clever, kind and polite. Moreover, she is outgoing, fun, the kind of friend everyone would want. She isn't even a perfectionist, she is perfect.
Likes: All the lessons, success, history, acknowledgment Dislikes: Silly, lazy or careless people; unfair criticism; people who try to steal her work, group projects

Personality; WHO WE ARE INSIDE
First and foremost, Riley is an extremely friendly person who has no problem striking up a conversation with anyone she meets. You’ll first notice she has endless enthusiasm and endless questions – hopefully she’ll grow out of the questioning. Due to her optimistic and trusting nature, she generally sees and expects the best in people, and is thoroughly disappointed when that isn’t the case. When someone disappoints her, she can give them the cold shoulder like you wouldn’t believe. If you’re on her good side, though, she can be very encouraging and supportive.
In terms of lessons and education, she is very keen to learn. Again, asking a lot of questions is something to get used to. She will generally argue her point if she feels strongly enough about it, but is also very open to listening to why someone disagrees with her. She’d very open-minded in that respect. One thing that is often paired with her a gazillion questions is her need to be precise. She likes to know things exactly – not vaguely.
Riley is extremely observant, imaginative, and persistent. She notices a lot: when she’s not spouting out questions, she’s listening, watching and taking in everything people are saying and doing around her.
