Name: Mary Rosa Castillo. Mary, is fine, or so she'll say. Even though Mary finds her name a little to common for her liking, Mary will do. Though she wouldn't mind being called Rosa, its never really come up. She doesn't mind being called by her last name either, and when its on the pitch, she actually prefers it.

Background: Mary was born in Mexico City Mexico, to a wizard father and a muggle mother. Being a devout Christian, when her mother got pregnant with her, she insisted that they get married. It was only about a year into the marriage, and shortly after Mary was born that Mary's mother realized what exactly she had gotten into. She had considered leaving her husband, not sure if he was a heretic of some sort against the church. The two had some long conversations on the matter, and after realizing that her young daughter would probably have this talent as well, Mary's mother decided to stay with her husband. They had 2 other children after Mary was born, and their small house in Mexico was always busy and filled with warmth. In that respect, Mary's childhood was filled with the bliss of young ignorance. Once she was the right age for school that quickly changed. Mary had been brought up to know a little about magic, and when she told her new friends at school not only was she shunned, she was often punished by the teachers. Mary, being a bright and open person had a very difficult time with that. Realizing that the environment wasn't the best to raise their family any more, Mary's family decided to move to Seville Spain. There they were offered a fresh start, and didn't have as many problems, but despite the move Mary missed her home dearly, as nice as Spain was, it was not Mexico. But over time, she adjusted. She has always yearned to return to Mexico, and has promised herself that she one day will, but for now she is happy where she is.

When she received her letter to Hogwarts, Mary was overjoyed. She was excited to meet more people like her, and learn more about the wizarding world, but she was rather disappointed. England, as she had been warned, was cold and wet and gross, as far as she was concerned. People were generally rude, uppity, and all together unpleasant. Mary had encountered some of this in Spain – for she'd never really cared for Europe in the slightest- but the United Kingdom was an entirely different matter. Mary, being the friendly person that she is, tried very hard to get along with as many people as possible, enough though she ended up hating the place. Despite her effort, she made scarcely any friends, and because of her mixed blood, she was usually picked on. Mary had dealt with nasty behavior before in her youth, and she wasn't going to be trampled over here. The issue of identity and self loathing that usually comes with this sort of condition – not fitting into either society – simply didn't occur to Mary. She fought back. Mary was a good student, and tried very hard to learn as much as she could, but this was also that she could deal with anyone that came her way. She was a small girl, but she'd helped raise two of her smaller siblings, so she was not a young girl to be messed with.

About two months into arriving at Hogwarts, Mary had earned herself a reputation for being excessively violent, because she didn't take anyone's crap. If one of the older pure-bloods teased her, she'd steal their wand and break it, if someone talked back to her, she'd floor them with a solid punch to the face. Within two months, Mary had been in and out of Dumbledore's office numerous times, and the only reason she hadn't been expelled was because all of her teachers vouched for her. It took her two months to earn that reputation, and it has stayed with her ever since. Thus, Mary had solved her own bullying problem, but she was still rather isolated among her peers, and being a social butterfly, that was rather rough on her. She'd scared away most of the other students, and the more she thought on it the less she really wanted to do with them. So Mary started to spend more time with her birds. Her mother had started a small business of hatching and raising parrots for the European market, and when Mary had left she'd taken two small macaw hatch lings with her. They were things to baby and take care of, and Mary had been doing that all of her life. They offered her quite a bit of comfort in the tough situation she was in. It was one day that she was taking the pair outside – one of the rare sunny days they had that year – that Mary met Andrea. The two knew of one another because they had classes together, but they'd never really talked, Andrea was in Gryphindor and Mary in Hufflepuff, they'd never had a reason to interact. When Andrea approached her about the macaws, Mary, unused to such attention these days, entertained her and showed her tricks that the birds could perform.

Things between the two started there, within a few weeks it had developed into something much more solid than Mary had ever expected. The two started spending more and more time together, and the more time they spent, the more Mary opened up to Andrea. They were a lot more similar than she had originally thought, and realizing that Andrea was so depressed, Mary worked tirelessly to make things better for her. As an attentive older sister, it was in her nature to make everything alright again. Thankfully, Mary was good at what she did, and by helping Andrea Mary gained her closest friend, and the self respect she hadn't realized she'd lost.

The subsequent years were significantly better than the first. She had Andrea as her best friend, and as new younger Hufflepuffs started to trickle into Hogwarts, Mary took it upon herself to introduce them to the area and to defend them when someone decided to cause trouble. She quickly became the mother hen of the house, and any younger student with a problem could come to her and she'd do her damndest to give them the best advice or to solve it herself. She also went out for the quidditch team, and easily got a position.

Since her first year, Mary's reputation has changed quite a bit. She's been called everything from “Mom” to “Nurse Ratchet” because she tends to hover over those she deems worthy and needing of some protection of some sort. She's both liked, and hated around the school.

Alliance: Mary is very much against the Dark Lord, and will tell anyone who asks exactly that. She really didn't even know he existed until she came to Hogwarts, and considering how she was teased by the pure-bloods, she's obviously against it.

Ancestry: She is half muggle

House: Hufflepuff

Year: 7th Year

Academics: Mary is very good at her studies, but she admits that she doesn't try exceptionally hard. She just kind of floats on by in her classes, and takes it all as it comes. Considering how much she doesn't work at it, she is usually disliked by people that work exceptionally hard.

Wand: Dragon Heartstring core, Reed, Ridged, and Knobby

Quidditch: Mary is captain of the Hufflepuff team, and is the teams lead Chaser. Mary adores the game, and flying, and though she is best friends with Andrea, they become fierce rivals on the pitch! She has plans to win the cup this year, if she has to beat Feliks to do it or not!

Favorite Class: Care for Magical Creatures is Mary's favorite class, and she is very skilled at it.

Best Class: Care for Magical Creatures, Charms and Transfiguration.

Worst Class: Magical History, she can never stay awake for it.

Least Favorite Class: Arithmancy, she absolutely hates this class, and dropped it within the first semester she took it.

Animagus: Being very skilled at Transfiguration, Mary has been able to do it a few times. Her animagus is that of a black widow spider. Mary doesn't find this very flattering at all, and seeing as her Animagus is best used for stealth, she has never mentioned the ability to anyone, and has no intention of ever registering that she is capable of such a feat.

Patronus: Mary's patronus is a sleek and rough looking coyote.

Relationships:

-Andrea Ojeda Jaramillo- Andrea is Mary's best friend, and they are practically inseparable despite being from different houses. Mary has known for quite a while that she has deeper feelings for Andrea, but has been far to afraid of what might happen if she mentions anything. She knows that Andrea is a strong Catholic, like herself, and Mary has decided that she will never press the issue because of that. She doesn't want to put Andrea into that sort of a situation, but Mary is dreading the end of her last year at Hogwarts more than anything, and she has cried herself to sleep thinking about it a few times over the break.

-Katyusha Braginskaya- Around her second year, Mary realized that every time she saw Katya, she had tears in her eyes. Knowing that the sweet girl was always kind, Mary set out to find out who was always making her cry. After finding nothing, she dejectedly gave up on the trying to find out on her own, and asked Katya straight out. This resulted in a crying session, in which Mary felt horrible for making her cry. Ever since then, Mary has been very fond of Katya, but also feels rather our of place around her. Mary walks on pins and needles, afraid she'll make Katya cry, and when she does find Katya crying she trends to flounder around trying to hard to make her stop crying.

-Toris Lorinaitis- During her second year Mary started to notice how horribly Toris was being teased. She took it upon herself to make it better, but probably only made it worse, because things only started to get better when Toris started dealing with it himself. Mary took this very hard that she couldn't really help him, and has always been friendly and supportive ever since. Mary is very fond of Toris, and was very excited when she heard that he made head boy for their class.

-Feliks Łukasiewicz- The first time Mary met Feliks in first year, she absolutely hated him. He was joker that didn't care about anything, and she could not stand how he spoke. After a few years of being in the same classes with him, and sharing the common room, she actually got to talking with him and realized that he was a pretty interesting person. That was until they were both on the same team. Mary gets along with Feliks well enough, but she has a hard time with his inability to ever work hard, especially at Quidditch. Being the team captain, she expects a hell of a lot from him, and he is known to often not perform up to her standards. Mary also secretly hates his blond hair, and his stylish dressing sense, only because those things never look as good on her.

-Una Kirkland- Mary, over the years, has come to know the Kirkland name quite well. She doesn't really know Una, but she hates all that her bloodline stands for, and Una herself has given her no reason to discredit that. If Mary had even thought it possible that Una would get Head Girl, Mary would have run against her, just out of spite. Mary expected Natalia to get it, and thus didn't try nearly as hard. She was horribly disappointed when Una got it.

-Natalya Arlovskaya - Mary didn't think much of Natalya to begin with, she was a beautiful pure-blood with a heart of ice, and Mary had no affection for that sort of a woman. But once she noticed how Katya and Natalya got along, she became suspicious. She assumed that Natalya was the reason Katya was always crying, and in her own way tried to solve the problem. Not long after her hypothasis was created, it was entirely discredited. She realized that the two were genuine friends, and Mary hasn't been able to dislike Natalya since. They keep their distance, but Mary has a lot of respect for her, and was hoping she would get Head Girl.

-Antonio Carriedo - Mary totally dislikes this kid. He's rude, uppity, selfish, and he claimed the title of best Quiddtich player last year. Mary has every intention of beating him into the ground on her final year at Hogwarts.

-Gabriel Rivaldo- Mary doesn't have much against Gabriel, other than his bloodline of course, but she's totally above that. What she does have against Gabriel is that he tends to try and take up Andrea's time, which probably isn't a bad thing but she doesn't have to like. Mary has mixed feelings about this one.

-Maria Clara Dela Cruz Santiago- Other tha being mistaken for each other a few times – because people honestly just think Mary and Maria is exactly the same thing – the two get along quite well. Mary supports Maria's less than desirable transactions, has taken her under her wing quite a few times, and expects a great deal from her on the pitch. Mary is rarely disappointed. Maria also shows potential for being Hufflepuffs new 'mother' figure, and she's even small enough to get the job done, or so Mary likes to day. The two are very similar in a lot of ways, and they get along quite well.

-Lili Zwingli- Lili is adorable, and for that Mary is quite jealous. Despite this fact, Mary has tons of affection for Lili, and is always trying to toughen the younger girl up. She's very happy that Maria and Lili are such close friends, because Maria will always stand up for Lili. With Maria on the job, Mary doesn't worry to much, but when she is given the chance she does enjoy babying Lili.

Pet: Mary brought two small hatch lings with her during her first year at Hogwarts, and has slaved over them over the years. The two she brought were Risa, a scarlet macaw, and Sol, a green macaw. After Andrea showed an interest in the birds, and when they had been friends for over a year, Mary gave Risa to Andrea as a birthday present, expecting her to take as much care of the animal as Mary had. She was not disappointed. Mary still has Sol with her, and the bird is one of the creatures she spends the most time with. The four of them, her Andrea and the two birds, often walk together, and Sol and Risa get along quite well.

Extra Classes: Mary signed up for Care of Magical Creatures as soon as she could, and also signed up for Arithmancy, but within that semester, she'd already dropped Arithmancy. She currently only has Care of Magical Creatures as her extra class.

Name: Vash Zwingli

Background: Vash Zwingli was the son of an average family in Switzerland. His father was a farmer and his mother was a herbalist and apothecary. They lived on a farm house on the higher regions of Switzerland, near the Alps itself. As a young kid, Vash mostly focused on farm chores like taking care of the animals and farming the food that they needed for everyday living. Occasionally, he would help his mother in the greenhouse and would ask about some of the plants every now and then. He would also see his mother making various medicines using peculiar looking ingredients and potions. His curiosity finally led him into being much interested about potion making and herbalism. After some time, his father noticed that he's not being too focused on work anymore until such time that he found his son working on who knows what that is instead of working in the farm and taking care of the animals. His mother objected saying to let Vash do what he loves and to not hinder his curiosity. His parents argued often about that subject and Vash felt that sooner or later, his parents might separate due to their constant bashing at each other all because of him. One day, as his parents were fighting, Vash got fed up and interrupted his parent's fighting saying that he'd no longer practice on being a good apothecary like his mother and just focus on farming like what his father wanted for him. Even though it broke him to say it, he did not want to wake up on another morning with their house filled with yells and screams of his parents. Besides, it was the only way to stop his father from his unswerving dream for Vash to be a farmer just like him. With that, he grew a bitter disappointment towards his father, but never the less, he still loved him. His father felt the cold shoulder that Vash had given him ever since he swore to him that he would never touch potions and magic ever again. He thought that Vash was being lonely and he needed someone to be of a companion. So one day, Vash' father and mother decided to adopt a young girl whom they named Lilli. Vash was very happy having a baby sister and was very protective of her. He had grown fond of her and so did as Lilli.

In his later years, he met Roderich, who had become his childhood friend and had grown a small affection for him though he doesn't show it as much. He would always take care of him, along with Lilli, whenever he gets into troubles like having a wound. Suddenly, the war broke out, thus making Roderich and Vash unable to contact each other for a long time or even see each other until such time that Vash no loner knows where he is now.

During the war, Switzerland had undergone a neutral alliance. Vash' village was ambushed by a troop of German soldiers who were on their way towards France and crossed the Alps to get there. And even though his father did taught him about weaponry usage and saying that he's really good at it, his nfather never risked Vash' life for something like a war. Thus, Vash and Lilli were hidden by their parents in a cottage far from the village and deep in the mountainous region of the Alps. Their father served as a soldier in the battle and their mother served as a volunteer doctor, giving out medications and medical help to the wounded. Unfortunately, they were both killed in battle. Vash and Lilli were left to fend off themselves and admittedly, those were very rough times. Vash had been more overprotective of Lilli and developed a very negative attitude towards strangers. With what he learned from farming and animal domestication, they barely survived. Then one day, a letter was sent from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to both Vash and Lilli. He saw this as an opportunity to be what he always wished to be, a great apothecary and potion-maker just like his mother. He decided to travel with Lilli to the British Isles with the little money that they were able to save.

Now, it is already their Fifth year and life has been more peaceful and stable to them than before. He was already able to recover from the trauma that condemned him before, yet, he still retained his over-protectiveness towards his sister and his cold attitude towards strangers. However, he did excelled the class that he always wanted. As of now, he just wants the company of his good sister and to not be bothered by anyone, unless they want to be shot or cursed. Either way, he's more than willing to do both if ever you happened to tick him off.

Alliance: His alliance is neutral as he sees that the war is useless. There is no point in waging against opposing forces as it only leads to destruction, death and havoc.

Ancestry: He is a Half-blood. His father was a Muggle and his mother was a Half-Blood witch.

House: Hufflepuff

Year: 5th Year

Academics: He is fairly good with most of the subjects, yet he pours all of his focus and determination in his Potions class, seeing that he really wants to be a very good apothecary just like what his mother was.

Wand: 12 inches, Hawthorn wood, Rigid, Knobby, Ashwinder Ash Core.

Quidditch: Due to him being temperamental at times, he needed a way to release his anger at times. And what better way to do it than being a Beater in Quidditch. Sure he never played that much sports during his lifetime, but having a sport where releasing your anger with a club is not illegal sure is a good shot. And with his first year in Hogwarts being not that good, with all sorts of people that really piss him off, he thought that Quidditch would be a good call indeed. At least his sister has someone to cheer on the field.

Favorite Class: Potions, Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures. The reason for being is that these classes are no far from the life that he had come to know. Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures was very much like farming and caring for domesticated animals if looked on a certain perspective.

Best Class: Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Worst Class: Divination. He was just not that interested with the subject and finds it useless.

Least Favorite Class: History of Magic. It bores him out. The only reason that he stays in the room or attends the class to start with is because his sister seemed to like the class and he didn't want to disappoint her either way.

Animagus: None at the moment. He's not that really focused on Transfiguration since he mostly focuses in his Potions class.

Patronus: His patronus was that of an Ibex, that protected him and Lilli once during the time of the war. Ibexes were some of the animals he had had much experience in caring since their milk is made into cheese for which their country is known for.

Relationships: Vash was never fond of making friends. He would rather have more enemies than friends, mostly to those who try to woo her sister Lilli. Even so, almost all of the people he does consider as not hostile are mostly of family relation.

Lilli Zwingli

She is Vash' adopted sister who is a few months younger than him. He is very overprotective of her especially when it comes to boys who try to get close to her. It would usually end in a rather unsightly scene of shame and humiliation to the other guy, or even worse, a death threat given by Vash that he is more than willing to fulfill if ever that certain person has a "strong will"; not giving up easily which would utterly cause him his nightmares.

Gilbert Beilschmidt

his cousin to his father whom he never knew about until the time that he came into Hogwarts. He was very much surprised knowing that he had a blood relative in this school whom he never had any idea at all. They shared a few talks about their history and how they were never able to meet each other as kids. Mostly due to the differencing perspectives of their fathers about the war. Still, even though he's family and they would enjoy their company from time to time, Gilbert really knows how to get under his nerves, especially when he teases around with Lilli as if trying to woo her. In his mind it's incest on the worst case imaginable. But amid all their harsh banter, Vash would not think twice of being protective of his cousin as well, seeing that he and his sister are the only family that he has left.

Roderich Edelstein

Roderich was Vash' childhood friend back when they were still in Austria. They were the best of friends and Vash had a sort of affection for him but he refuses to show it to him when they were kids. However, during the war, they weren't able to see each other and lost contact completely. Vash never knew where Roderich had gone. Apparently, in his first year, he saw a guy who oddly enough, looked just like Austria, and to his disbelief, it really was him. He was very happy that he got reunited with him, and he still held on to his affection towards him yet he strongly denies it. But he does enjoy the company of Roderich, except when he tries to be "too close" to Lilli.

Pet: He has a Eurasian Scops Owl whom he named Roderich in remembrance of his childhood friend. He found the Scops owl somewhere inside the barn with a broken wing and nurtured it back to health. When it has fully recovered, Vash set it free but it didn't want to leave so Vash took him in as his pet and sometimes his assistant in gathering ingredients back in Switzerland.

Extra Classes: Ghoul Studies. He thought that it might seem very interesting to study about supernatural things especially when there were various folklores of spirits roaming around the Alps.

Guest

Name: Roderich Edelstein

Background: Roderich was born in Vienna. His father was a muggle farmer and his mother used to be a socialite witch before she fell inlove and eloped with his father. The marriage was a happy one until Roderich's father started drinking and gambling. His parents used to fight all night about it and in some cases, his father would use physical violence on his mother. They stayed with the man until his mother decided to leave him. And so she packed all of their belongings and left the man all alone. Up to this day he has not seen his father or knew his whereabouts.

His mother remarried an American journalist but then filed for divorce after three months of marriage when she found out that he was married and had four children in America. The same thing happened with an Irish businessman and a Spanish photographer. So the mother-son duo continued to travel around Europe until she met a Swiss banker who was actually her first love. The two got married and settled down in Switzerland where Roderich met his childhood friend Vash. The two were inseparable after their first meeting until Vash's parents died. After the death of his parents, Roderich didn't see the Swiss again.

After two years of marriage, Roderich's step father died from a freak accident. Leaving his mother an incredible amount of fortune. His mother then decided to move to England where she worked as a journalist in a witch's gossip column. Meanwhile, because of Roderich's introversion, he did not make a lot of friends and concentrated on his music. Until one day he received his letter from Hogwarts.

S L Y T H E R I N

Name: Valentina Ramírez

Background: Always having held her head a little bit higher than others, Valentina grew up in a household with a strict father and loving mother. Her father had rules, which she had to follow to the very end, while her mother liked to bend them, making life a little bit easier on Valentina.

She grew up with two very different influences; her father's family, strict, calm, cool, and those who detest the very thought of a muggle, and her mother's family. Wonderful, playful, more free, and out-going people who absolutely loved muggles. How her two parents got together, she would never know.

When she became of age, her mother gave her her wand, one that had been passed down from generation to generation, and would be continued to be passed on until the end of their family line. Valentina was soon shipped off to Hogwarts, bringing along her squirrel, and was sorted into Slytherin.

She went throughout her years surpassing others in her academics, becoming captain of the Quiddich team, and being viewed as a bi-polar witch- witch being used as a bad term. She had a select few people that she liked but others could annoy her to no end.

She soon became a prefect, alongside Arthur Kirkland, and continued with her studies and Quiddich team. She loved to mess with her family members, although they were annoying and absolutely Gryffindor- Gryffindor being a bad term, also.

Alliance: Muggle Supporter, which is very odd for a Slytherin.

Ancestry: Only one muggle has interrupted the long line of pureblood family. But it wasn't in her branch. No, it was on her mother's sibling's branch. Thank goodness for that or else she would have been a half-blood.. But there isn't anything wrong with that.. Except, well, having tainted blood.

House: Slytherin.

Year: Seventh Year

Academics: Valentina strives to be a good student, not for gaining more knowledge, no, she wants to be the best of her class. She always completes her work ahead of time, does extra work, reads at an almost competitive rate, and makes sure that no one is ahead of her. This is actually the opposite of how she is outside of class.

Wand: This wand has been passed down through her family, going to the first daughter of each generation. An Alder wood wand, 7.5 inches, with a Chimera Scale core.

Quidditch: The seeker, and captain, of the Slytherin team. Since she is the lightest, she was perfect for the role, and when she tried out in her second year, her captain, at the time, knew that she would be one of the best. Even though she loves to play, she loves to watch on the sidelines, too, because she knows the rush that the the Quiddich players are feeling and she feeds on their adrenaline.

Favorite Class: Potions and Flying

Best Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions class, and Flying.

Worst Class: Divination and Transfiguration.

Least Favorite Class: Divination. It's so.. Unpractical. Plus, the teacher is psycho.

Animagus: Her animagus is a red fox, probably due to her clever nature, and devious mind. Her father schooled her into getting an animagus correct, he wouldn't tolerate failure.

Patronus: Also a red fox, goes to show how her brain works. Always thinking up new ways to get around things.

Relationships:

Una Kirkland: Valentina's best friend, she knows the girl like the back of hand, having met her in their first year together and became almost inseperable. They compete in academics in each class that they are in together, and it's a great motivator, since Valentina strives to have the highest marks. She's very glad that the other was able to become Head Girl, maybe even a bit jealous.
Gabriel Rivaldo: Valentina's love interest since their first year. After seeing him get into a small scuffle, she'd been attracted to him for some reason.. Even if he is her main love interest, when they are practicing Quiddich, she doesn't give him special treatment. If he messes up, she treats him like everyone else. Finally after six, almost seven, years of chasing after him, she was finally given a rather large push by Una to reveal her feelings, and was she ever grateful for that since he accepted. Score 1: Valentina~!
Andrea Ojeda Jaramillo: Her biggest rival, a Gryffindor, and the captain of the Gryffindor Quiddich team. They'd been basically at each other's necks since their first year, probably because Valentina 'accidentally' spilt a potion on the girl and turned part of her skin temporarily green.. And then proceeded to call her spoiled meat. Yes, childish, but oh so funny~!*

Pet: She owns a red-tailed squirrel, one that she'd had back in Colombia, named Squeaker. She's absolutely attached to this animal and it's usually found on her shoulder, and if he disappears, he always goes back to her room, somehow.

Extra Classes: Divination, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies.

Name: Feliciano Vargas
His name can be a bit odd to people who don't know him well, so he doesn't mind going by Feli if that is what people want. He really likes nicknames so is pretty much up for whatever! (No Lovino, "idiot" isn't a cool nickname!)

Background:
Even though Feliciano is of pureblooded ancestry and naturally grew up around magic, he tends to have the enthusiasm of a first year muggle born coming into school for the first time. This isn't just about school though, that is generally how he is about everything in life. Even though many pureblooded families have the stereotype of not liking muggle things, Feliciano tends to find them rather facinating and strange. Sure he will make fun of things sometimes, but that is natural for children to do with things they don't understand and are taught are out of the ordinary. His mentality is that they are odd but it isn't their fault they are born that way.

Getting along with most people, Feliciano is generally well liked throughout school. He can be obnoxious though, which many people take note of. He doesn't notice, but sometimes people go out of their way to not talk to him since he could literally chat for hours if given the opportunity. Though he gets along with most, he does have very few close friends, but it doesn't effect him. Even if he always seems like a pretty upbeat guy, he does get picked on often by other people. That is just because it is so easy to get him upset, and he is pretty weak.

Alliance:
Neutral. Though he can see where people are coming from on the bad side sometimes, he doesn't actually "support" it. Since he generally gets along well with everyone no matter what he thinks, he has no reason to do anything bad. Plus, Feliciano is far too cowardly to ever do anything relating to the Dark Lord, but also doesn't want to anger people who do support him. Then again, he doesn't really want to make anyone mad and thinks they should all get along somehow. He just doesn't want to get himself into any trouble so is fine right in the middle. Because really, who needs fighting?

Ancestry: Pureblood

House: Hufflepuff

Year: 5th

Academics: Most of Feliciano's schoolwork is average. Why he really doesn't fall under the catergory of slacker, he can be very lazy and procrastinate. He requires a lot of motivation to do assignments sometimes. Still, he normally manages to pull through even if if other people have to pick up his slack sometimes. In class, Feliciano can be distracted too easily. He does try though, since he is always eager to please people.

Wand: 8 inches, unicorn tail core, lignum vitae

Quidditch: Feliciano has a love-hate relationship with this game sometimes. It is fun to watch, and fun to play at times. Originally Feliciano was on the team, but had an accident during a match in a later year which resulted in a broken leg. After that he wasn't too keen on playing again for a year. Now he got over it though and is a chaser on the Hufflepuff team. Still as clumsy as ever, but he is really fast.

Favorite Class: Charms. In that class they learn a lot of fun things that he actually finds useful and interesting. Sure many of the things are also useless, but he loves it.

Best Class: Muggle Art. He is great at both forms of art, and he has always excelled at it since he was a young child. It really helps him that he actually enjoys it, and can pass that class without even really trying too hard.

Worst Class: Transfiguration. For some reason, he can never do it right and ends up with rather strange results in the end.

Least Favorite Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts. It freaks him out and gets him a bit distracted from whatever he is supposed to be learning. He may or may not be known for often quickly excusing himself from class and running off...

Animagus: None

Patronus: A dog, golden retriever, to be specific.

Relationships:
Lovino Vargas - His twin brother, who is older though it is only by a few minutes. Feliciano was a bit disappointed that they were sorted into different houses, and misses him a lot. Since they can't hang out in the same common room, Feliciano makes an effort to bother his brother whenever he sees him -- bothering out of love, of course.

((Want a special relationship with me? Just ask~))

Pet: Feliciano has a rather fluffy kitten named Tiramisu. It is like his baby, but he does let him wander off on his own. Yes, as girly as the name Tiramisu is, he is a male cat. He is small, and looks like a ball of fluff. He loves sleeping and playing around with other cats. Feliciano learned not to wake him up when he is sleeping though because then he gets very grumpy and likes to scratch.

Extra Classes: Muggle art. He is rather good at art and thought that this class would put a new spin on things. Even if lots of people frown on muggle classes, he thinks people are strange for not liking this one, since it is just magic art but more hands on. Feliciano also takes divination.

Name: Carissa Zoe Kirkland. She’s called Carissa by almost everyone. And the Australian likes it that way. It sounds more mature, more artistic, more respectable and more Pureblood-like. Only a handful of people are really allowed to call her by her second name Zoe.

Background:
Carissa, the youngest among the Australian born Kirklands, deserved a different treatment from her parents. The two elder boys were much more valued than a girl such as herself. They were pleased to have her but they did not see her as much. After all, she would lose her Kirkland name once she marries. It doesn’t help how her older brothers are exceptional wizards back at the Hogwarts branch in Australia. The boys were not entirely pleased with moving to Europe when she was still very young, so they decided to study in the Hogwarts back home. She thought now that they would have more time for her and maybe see her artistic talents. How would they miss it? All proof was on the walls of her room. Except of course, if they’ve never been to her room since who knows when. Her parents were too busy with Ministry business and being a Death Eater that she practically has the house to herself most of the day, if you don’t count the help who cleans up the house. Carissa grew cold and due to being cut off from almost everybody else, can be inconsiderate and rather harsh.

Her brothers were more of parents to her than her mother and father would ever be. Imagine her misery when they decided to go back to Australia. Most of the day it would just be her, a palette, a paintbrush and a canvass when they first moved in to London, the thought of handling a wand never really crossed her mind until her brothers got back from Australia. They bought her a wand and taught her the basics. She caught on quite easily, driven by the motivation her brothers kept giving her. She’s spoiled when it comes to material things but lacked the affection from her parents. They always found time to brainwash her about muggleborns and how great Voldemort was.

When her brothers were away, she would go to the other Kirkland house nearby. She’d spend hours and hours there, with the assurance that no one would be looking for her. She would go on adventures with Peter and round up some trouble with him every now and then. Usually, she would just tag along thinking that perhaps, trouble making would get her parents attention. It did. Now they keep her close and ask her to spend more time with the other Kirkland kids, hoping that the ‘good influence’ could rub off on her. Not much of a punishment. She loved spending time with Peter and his siblings. She thinks it was a Death Eater kind of thing since Peter’s parents have been quite unusual towards him too he tells her.

Alliance: Dark Lord Supporter. Although not entirely. She is a supporter by name but her actions say otherwise.

Ancestry: Pureblood and not the least bit tainted. She is rather proud of her ancestry.

House: Slytherin.

Year: 1st Year

Academics: Carissa strives to do well in class so she can impress her parents but she has tendencies to doodle around her notes which make it almost unreadable at times. She is also sometimes caught vandalizing desks and her books with random shapes and characters. The Australian girl would stay up at night, studying in advance.

Wand: Ebony wood, Phoenix feather core, Rigid with a Spiraled Shaft. 11 inches.

Quidditch: Having an older brother who participates in the games back at Australia, she grew excited at the thought of Quidditch. She would hear tales from her sibling about the thrills he’d get from the court and how proud the parents were whenever he mentioned scoring. She decides that once she’s old enough, she’d participate in any position available.

Favorite Class: Astronomy. The stars would be her only companions late at night when her parents would be away for a mission of sorts and she finds it hard to sleep. So she grew to love them. Transfiguration. Oh how she’d love to get back at her siblings for posing to be cute animals whenever she’d pretend to ignore them in her childish tantrums.

Best Class: Herbology. Growing up in the midst of Australian flora and fauna has helped her a lot. Defense Against the Dark Arts. Quite ironic that this was the subject her brothers made her focus on considering they would sooner or later work for the master of dark arts. The subject has taken her interest as well.

Worst Class: Charms. Her heavy Australian accent and inflections would interfere with the way she says the spells. Most of the time it just doesn’t work, but one time it went horribly wrong. She feels rather uneasy whenever she takes the class, afraid it may happen again.

Least Favorite Class: History of magic. She doesn’t like the subject since it bores her but she does appreciate the time it is allotted for since that’s when she and her cousin catch up on a few Z’s.

Animagus: None. It was probably going to be a rabbit.

Patronus: She was able to conjure it just once. It was a white hare.

Relationships:

The Kirklands are her cousins. Arthur is usually away in the study when she visits. They would strike up a conversation whenever she waits around for Peter. She admires his intellect and his views on muggles have influenced her way of thinking when it comes to them. She sees Una more often than she does the other siblings. She looks up to her the most, secretly wanting to be like her. She was strong willed and independent, the way she always wanted to be. Carissa would stick by her most of the time if Peter was out training. She never had the chance to meet Sedgwick though. She does her an earful about him from Peter.

The youngest Kirkland is her closest cousin. They were practically inseparable. He’s the only friend she’s had in a long time and he can actually stand her obnoxiousness. They had a lot in common. One of which is their love for adventure and trouble every once in a while. Though she could be rather envious of the boy since he’s got family who smothers him to no end, he would comfort her by complaining how awfully suffocating it could be. He’s one of the reasons why he’d rather go to the Hogwarts in Europe rather than the one in Australia.

Angelique De Quincy is a muggle born. And she wonders why they had to be stuck with someone like her. At first, she tried as much as she can to ignore the other girl. But she was quite pleasant and rather nice, for a muggle born, that is. She lessened her conversations with them when she got a hold of their names, talking only when spoken to. Her cousin asked her why they were avoiding them, and she tells him he’s dense.

Raivis Galante is a half muggle she had the pleasure of meeting. Although she thinks rather lowly of him for his ancestry, Peter seems to like him quite a lot. Since they were stuck in the same carriage, the boy had no choice but to interact with her cousin. He seemed rather edgy ever since he heard what their names were. The boy was probably glad to get away from them when they got to the great hall. And her ever naive cousin wondered why.

Pet: She has a pet bunny named Julie. Her brothers said it was a demeaning name for a boy rabbit but she gets her way in the end.

Extra Classes: Being a first year does not allow her to take any special classes. She plans to take Arts for obvious reasons and possibly, Muggle Arts as well. Muggle or no muggle. Art is still art.

Name: Yao Wang

Background: An 18 year old Chinese transplant, Yao hasn’t been living in England for very long. In fact, he just moved there and is actually starting his first year at Hogwarts, having attended a school in Beijing previously. He moved away from his father, who had grown bitter and abusive ever since his wife left with her other son. Yao contacted Hogwarts prior to his moving out, asking if it would be okay for him to transfer there, and after receiving a letter from Dumbledore he packed all his things and moved to England, where he believed his mother and half-brother were.

Alliance: Muggle supporter. After meeting muggles he realized they weren’t as bad as his parents made them seem.

Ancestry: Pure blooded.

House: Ravenclaw

Year: Seventh, technically.

Academics: Yao is extremely intelligent, and receives top marks in all of his classes. He makes sure to always attend class, even if he feels ill.

Wand: Silver maple, with a core of phoenix feather. The wood is smooth and rigid, and it’s length is an even eight inches.

Quidditch: He doesn’t care much for the sport, or sports in general, but he attends the matches on occasion.

Favorite Class: Divination. He is fascinated by the prospect of being able to see the future.

Best Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts

Worst Class: Potions

Least Favorite Class: Again, potions.

Animagus: Potentially a raven.

Patronus: A phoenix.

Relationships: He doesn’t know many people at Hogwarts due to this being his first year in attendance, but his half-brother Hei is here, even if his memories of Hei are a bit fuzzy. He befriended Andrea Ojeda Jaramillo quickly, and he helps her study often.

Pet: He has a barn owl he purchased at Diagon Alley.

Extra Classes: He takes Divination and Muggle Studies

Subject: Re: Application Wed Jun 01, 2011 12:23 am

Name: Matthew Williams (Often called Matt by other people and Mattie by Alfred)

Background: Matthew was born in a small francophone town of Northern Ontario, Canada, close to an Indian Reservation. His magical ability showed up early on his life, when at the age of six he accidentally became invisible for a whole day, causing the Police to search for him deep inside the woods on a cold winter night. In reality though he had been watching tv and reading all day. This happened a few times before knowing about Hogwarts and still happens now once in a while. He was visited by Dumbledore right after his eleventh birthday and learnt that he was a wizard; his parents were very much shocked but accepted it after a while. After his first year, he came home every year and visited the Indian reserve near his little town wondering if the magic the chief always talked about was real too, he learnt much from them, from herbs properties to dances and rituals to speak with the spirits of the Earth..
He is a very calm person most of the time, and really polite always taking care of other people’s feelings. When angry or annoyed though, he can be really passive aggressive, using his mouth to hurt and root doubt and guilt on the person he is fighting with. He is a complete monster when playing both hockey and Quidditch, and can get extremely scary, almost stopping at nothing to win (he plays as a chaser, no one would give him the beater job even though he wanted it).

Alliance: Muggle supporter. He is of muggle descent so he holds no sympathy whatsoever for what the Dark Lord is doing and often times tries to persuade some of his classmates to not join his cause.

Ancestry: Muggle born

House: Ravenclaw

Year: 5th year

Academics: He is a good student, driven by curiosity and his love for nature. However he is also awfully distracted by other things, this has often caused him to lose a few points for his house. Teachers Love his assignments and homework but wished he was more outgoing in class.
He got the job of prefect at the beginning of this year but he already knows he is going to suck at it. He'll always try his best though

Wand: 7.5 inches. Maple, supple and smooth. Ashwinder ash core.

Quidditch: He discovered the game when he first came to Hogwarts and is now fascinated by it, even though he still prefers hockey as his main sport. He is a chaser for Ravenclaw’s team and a pretty good one even though he can get scary when his mind is set solely on the game.

Favorite Class: Care of magical creatures

Best Class: Charms

Worst Class: Arithmancy. He is not terrible at it, but it seems numbers + magic is not his strength.

Least Favorite Class: Defence against the Dark Arts. He doesn’t like practical violence and believes many things can be solved by simply talking it out

Animagus: None, he knows what they are but has no real interest on learning how to transform into one.

Patronus: A beaver. He learnt to do it as a final project for his Defence Against the Dark Arts class, even though he can’t maintain the spell more than a few seconds.

Relationships:
• Kiku Honda: Fellow ravenclaw and one of his only friends. They suit each other’s personalities since none of them talk much if not required of them. They also share the roles of prefects and that made them become even closer.
• Alfred F. Jones: He tutors him in charms, and helps him memorize them. He has gradually become a great friend and someone Matthew loves to hang out with, even if he drives him crazy sometimes.
• Natalya Arlovskaya: Another housemate, they talk to each other on occasion thanks to being in the Quidditch team together. And although Matt finds her extremely beautiful he never lets that show, he knows she wouldn’t take it well.
• Gilbert Beilschmidt: They know each other from their class of Care of Magical Creatures and they both share a love for animals. Besides Gilbert is the only one who has eaten his pancakes and maple syrup without caring they were produced ‘the muggle way’

Pet: A familiar given to him for protection by the Chief of the reservation he used to visit. It has the form of a Polar bear and follows him around most of the time. Sadly they cannot remember each other’s names, even after so many years of knowing the other.

Extra Classes: Even though he likes to learn he also likes to keep it simple. For that reason (and Quidditch practice) he keeps his schedule normal, unlike his housemates only taking two extra classes. Care of Magical Creatures and Artihmancy.

Subject: Re: Application Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:49 pm

Name: Alfred F. Jones

Background: Alfred's mother was a Pureblood from a very well-known Wizarding family, she grew up hating her life, and the role her parents put her in, so as soon as she graduated from Hogwarts she ran away to the United States. There, she met and fell in love with a Muggle, who she broke her wand for. She never told him she was a witch, didn't want to even think about it. When they married, and had Alfred, it proved a bit harder to do. She spent all her time worrying about accidental magic, and was very protective of Alfred in her attempt to keep it from happening.

Eventually, it did. At the age of six, Alfred lifted the entire couch one night to try and get something under it. His mother was forced to explain everything to Alfred and his father then. Even after hearing about the magical world, and the way she'd grown up, both father and son decided they preferred the muggle world.

When Alfred turned 11, and got his letter to Hogwarts. His mother was surprised, because she'd been sure he would get pulled into one of the schools in North America, but when she found out about the war and the increasing danger, she convinced both her husband and Alfred that Hogwarts was the best place for him.

Alfred's first year at Hogwarts wasn't exactly pleasant. Being an American in a school filled with students from all over the world, there expectations set for him, that weren't exactly nice. He hated most of his classes, not wanting to learn about magic and spells and creatures he'd rather not know about. Still, he worked hard, and even though he always ended up hiding from the Ghosts that frequent the school, did pretty good.

Al hasn't yet learned to really love Magic, in fact, it very simply doesn't interest him. He continues to go to Hogwarts under his mother's persistence. She sends him comics and sports sections of newspapers every week, and during the summer he doesn't even look at his school trunk.

Alliance: Muggle-supporter.

Ancestry: Half-breed.

House: Gryffindor

Year: Fifth Year

Academics: A pretty good student, Alfred is a very quick learner, though he tends to have trouble remembering some things (mostly spells). He's managed to make his way into being a Prefect, and is on the Quidditch team as well. His teacher's would call him day-dreamer, but overall a good kid.

Wand: Red Cedar – Wendigo Fur – Springy, Spiraled Shaft- 10”
Wood: Cedar trees meanings include healing, cleansing and protection.
Core: Wendigo fur is a common core in North America. The core makes the wand volatile and hard to control. It's good for defensive and dark magic.
Strength: Charms. Energetic disposition and Friendly.
Shape & Surface: Quick witted and Open-Minded

Quidditch: Seeker – Al tried out because he loves the idea of flying. Being Seeker puts him in the air, and keeps him distanced enough from the other players that it's harder to tell how bad he is at team sports.

Favorite Class: Astronomy – Al has a very deep love for the sky. So Astronomy, where he can learn about the stars, and memorize constellations, is something he likes. Not to mention, getting to go up in the Astronomy tower at night.

Best Class: Arithmancy – Numbers, equations, this is Al's thing. He's best at this class, it makes the most sense to him, where most of the others just go over his head. He's very good, and it's probably the only class where he could play tutor to someone else.

Worst Class: Defense Against The Dark Arts– He has a lot of trouble focusing in this class, most of it, he spends not wanting to look in his books, or at any of the things being taught. He tries hard, but tends to fail miserably.

Least Favorite Class: Potions – Al doesn't like the dungeons, he avoids them at all costs, so going to Potions Class is never fun for him.

Animagus: Bald Eagle - Al is still in the process of figuring this one out, he's got a lot of work to do, and it's hard for him to sit still long enough to really do a lot of the work. He knows he'll be a bird

Patronus: Great Dane - Al's patronus is a very good insight to him. He managed to master this spell rather easily, since he has a lot of really great memories. The only problem is, like with most spells, he tends to forget the words to use it. He has a little song in his head to help him remember it, and always ends up humming it whenever he uses the spell.

Relationships:

Matthew Williams – Al's tutor for Charms class. He finds Matt quiet, but enjoys spending time with him. He's one of the few people that puts up with Al's love of all things muggle.

Pet:

Clark – An eagle owl. Clark was a gift from his mother on his first coming to Hogwarts. Al named him after Clark Kent (Superman), and he gets along pretty well with the temperamental bird.

Extra Classes: Alfred takes Care of Magical creatures, Arithmancy, and muggle studies. He enjoys the time outside for Care Of Magical Creatures, loves Arithmancy, and tends to correct the teacher during Muggle studies.

H U F F L E P U F F

Name: Toris Laurinaitis

Background: Before Toris was born, his father met his mother back in Lithuania while his father was doing business for the Ministry. They had relations and soon fell in love, the news of a baby not to far behind.

Toris' father had to go back to England, saying that he would only be a few weeks, when it turned out that he had been gone for most of his mother's pregnancy. The man had come just before his wife gave birth, almost five months later, and stayed with them till Toris and his mother went with his father back to England.

Growing up was a weird thing for Toris. He was smart, very shy, but also proud of his wizarding heritage. His father taught him spells before he even was of age to go to a Wizarding school, and Toris picked it up like it was nothing. His mother was a very proud woman who loved both of her men dearly, she even had bought Toris a small Teacup pig for Christmas.. She was really a sweet woman..

Till she died by the hand of one of the Death Eaters.

It was a horrible experience when Toris and his father had come home to find the woman on the kitchen floor, staring up at the ceiling with glazed over eyes. Toris had been sent into a spin of depression, becoming even more of a recluse, and his father started to drink.

Father was never abusive to him, no, he just made Toris clean up every little thing or else the boy would be sent to his room without supper or he would have his wand taken away. Slowly, they both came out of their rut though, and decided that Toris' mother would not like that they were crying over her death instead of celebrating her time on Earth.

The time came when Toris received a letter from Hogwarts, saying that he was accepted to the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His father was elated and, being the kind man he was, immediately took Toris to Diagon Alley to get his supplies.

That day in Diagon Alley was a little over seven years ago, now Toeis was a seventh year in Hufflepuff, and proud of it. He was still shy, there was no doubt about it, and he often cared to much about people. Usually, one would see him shaking, or twiddling his thumbs out of nervousness, but other than that, he made one of the most loyal friends.

This nervousness was even worse his first year. If someone had snuck up on him or said anything behind his back, he would always jump and pull out hiis wand, ready to defend himself. He had been paranoid like this ever since he had come home to see his mother dead. Hey, wouldn't you be, too, if you knew a Death Eater was at your home and had killed your poor, defenseless, muggle mother in cold blood?

He's known mostly for his kind demeanor around school and for his exceptional marks in class. Toris has grown a few, select friends throughout the years and has cherished every one of them.

Alliance: Muggle Supporter

Ancestry: Half Blood

House: Hufflepuff

Year: Seventh

Academics: Although Toris isn't as smart as a Ravenclaw student, he still has exceptional marks on his tests, and classwork, and is known for helping other students if the need rises.

Wand: A lovely Oak wood, spiral decorated wand, that is around 7.9 inches, has a core of Unicorn hair. Has a springy type of wood strength, and looks dark around the crevises of the spirals that run from the tip, all the way down to where he would grip the wand.

Quidditch: It was odd that he was chosen to be the Beater of the Quiddich team. Of all positions, he just had to be picked for that? Sure, he could see himself as a Chaser, maybe a Keeper, but a Beater?! Now, don't get him wrong, ever since he became a Beater for the Hufflepuff team, he's learned to love the position and it's a great way to relieve stress, but when he was first told that he would be Beater, he just about fainted.

Favorite Class: Care of Magical Creatures.

Best Class: Charms.

Worst Class: Transfiguration.

Least Favorite Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts. He just can't seem to wrap his finger around how to do any of it. He hates it, to say the least!

Animagus: A deer because of his love for healing living beings, gentleness, kindness, and sensitivity.*

Patronus: Unicorn.*

Relationships: (I'll be developing them soon once I talk to some other people first. Just PM me or something.)

Pet: Teacup Pig. To be more specific, a 'Micro-Mini' pig that he had gotten on his first trip to England. The Lithuanian had named her Snowy because of her snow white hair, even though there is a small black spot on the top of her head.

Extra Classes: Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, and Ancient Runes.

*Just to tell you, I took a quiz for both of these and thought of answers based on Lithuania's personality. Yay, I'm a Unicorn.

Name: Sedgewick Kirkland

Background: To say he is from a proud line of witches and wizards is an understatement. His family is possibly one of the most pure blood you will find anywhere else. As one of the oldest siblings he had to set an example for the rest. Although such expectations he feel should not be placed on him. Sedgewick prefers a life without the hassle of so much family, and better yet his parents constant hounding him.

In school Sedgwick is nothing of a model student to be honest. He makes the grades that are required of him but, he never got Prefect status. A strange Kirkland in all senses, it is a wonder to some people how he is Arthur's older brother. Mannerisms aside he his loud, crass, rude, and perhaps a little too opinionated.

There is perhaps one large problem with Sedgewick, something his family isn't keen on. Actually, this issue has caused an eruption of arguments with him and his family. See, they are all proud Slytherins, always have been for a long time. Sedgewick was the first of their bloodline to end up in Gryffindor. He is fairly certain at any point he is going to be disowned but, for some reason the prospect does little to bother him.

Alliance: His family are supporters of the Dark Lord as far as he knows. While being raised to believe in the same ideals, he secretly thinks it is all rubbish.

Ancestry: Pure Blood

House: Gryffindor

Year: 7th

Academics: Sedgewick is intelligent enough to get the good grades. So naturally he never has gotten anything too unbecoming. Otherwise he sits back in class and lets his mind drift off from time to time.

Wand: Oak, Phoenix Feather, and 11 inches. Smooth with no decor on it.

Quidditch: Already did it for three years, no more.

Favorite Class: Potions

Best Class: Transfiguration

Worst Class: Herbology

Least Favorite Class: Magical History, it puts him to sleep.

Animagus: Does not have one.

Patronus: Dragon

Relationships:

Una Kirkland - His sister who shares the same year at school as him. While he fights with her he does not dislike her. If anything he argues just for the sake of it, and he really does not mean half of what is being said. Most of the time he keeps her company, and has gotten onto his father behind her back for his lack of concern for Una.

Arthur Kirkland - Sedgewick always felt responsible for Arthur, always. It was just something he always felt, and so he is rather hard on the young man. Constantly poking at him, pushing him, and sometimes belittling him. While his attitude may seem unnecessary he feels it'll do Arthur some good. The two are never seen not getting into an argument, and it is Sedgewick who coined calling him Artie for his amusement.

Peter Kirkland - The youngest of the Kirkland brood, and perhaps the most precocious. Sedgewick never had any real problems with Peter in the household. If anything he was the only one that Sedge was able to calmly speak with. Of course with Peter being the youngest, Sedgewick always felt it was his status as elder brother to guide him. Though, sometimes that guidance was unorthodox.

Andrea Jaramillo - The head of his Quidditch team so of course he knows her. Though, he does secretly find her rather attractive.

Pet: Norwegian Forest Cat, big fluffy thing,

Extra Classes: Ancient Runes

Alliance: Order of the Phoenix and vocal about it.

Academics: Sati goes to every class on time and is always prepared for it. She has never missed a day and will even go if she is sick.

Name: Bart De Boer. Sometimes called Smokey, Ned or tall dude. He's okay with his nicknames having not problem with most people what so ever. He doesn't care if people know who he is or not he just wants to get out of school without too much annoyance.

Background: Despite his age it will be his first year in Hogwards. It took his family long and hard to get him accepted Bart being a bit of a cold distant child and on his normal schools he is known for ruling them hard and cold. He can be friendly though but he has changed since he was bullied when he did show kindness. The world now seems like a cold place to him and he hates it when people try to get to know him not trusting them at all. But he will let you get to know him if you keep on trying.

Alliance: He is mostly nautral. He doesn't care what happens as long as it doesn't affect him much. Secretly he is a muggle supporter but he doesn't show it.

Ancestry: He is a quarter breed. mostly human and one quarter giant. His family used to be all giants until his grandfather fell in love with a witch. Then things started to get more mixed. His mother is half giant his father a wizard so he turned out to be a quarter giant the human genes more powerful over the giant ones.

House: Slytherin surprisingly because of how he acts.

Year: 1st.

Academics: He pretty smart but he doesn't care that much about school he shows up from time to time and takes the tests. He gets good grades in them so he annoys most of his class mates.

Wand: He has a dragon blood cherry tree wood wand that is 1.7 inches. It's sleek and dark it is made to fit his large hand and it is slightly rough in the hand.

Quidditch: He doesn't really care but he likes to watch the games.

Favorite Class: He enjoys Defense Against The Dark Arts the most.

Best Class: Defense Against The dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures.

Worst Class: He doesn't have one he's bad at just classes he doesn't like.

Least Favorite Class: Charms, Astronomy

Animagus: He isn't one though he has a fascination for them so he might try to become one like he heard you could in rumors.

Patronus: His patronus is a Rabbit. He has had some trouble remembering good times but he remembered his sisters faces and he used that memory to make his fast big rabbit Patronus.

Relationships: He goes along with anyone just fine as long as the don't ask him too much. He seems to like a masked Turk but he covers that by being mean towards the man.

Pet: His pet is a long eared big bunny named Nijntje (Dutch name for Miffy)

Extra Classes: Somehow he managed to keep sneaking into the Care for Magical Creatures class so he kind of takes it even though he is a first year.

Name: Gupta Muhummad Hassan

Background: Gupta's mother moved them to England not long after he was born. While he grew up on the streets of London, his mother made sure that he was taught about the magic of his homeland. That he would never forget the great magicians, wizards, and witches that he was descended from. He's been studying the magic from Egypt for so long that it often comes much more easily to him, and doing magic the European way can often make things harder.

When he recieved his letter for Hogwarts, Gupta was not particularly surprised, though he was rather excited. He'd always been a bit of a loner, and while he didn't look forward spending time with the other students- too used to being bullied and pushed around- he did find himself exceedingly interest in the school's library. Most of his first year was spent hidden away in the corner of the library.

Gupta never made a lot of friends. His quiet behavior and rather mischievous attitude have given him a lot of trouble when it comes to making friends. Luckily, he's okay with being alone, and in fact prefers it a great deal of the time. Spending his time in the library or lurking around in empty classrooms, Gupta is almost ghost like himself.

Alliance: Neutral

Ancestry: Pureblood

House: Ravenclaw

Year: 7th

Academics: Gupta is a very good student. He's not much interested in the spotlight, and is more a quiet student who simply aces his work then partcipates in lessons.

Wand: African Blackwood - Phoenix Feather core - 12 1/2 inches - Bendy - Knobby
Wood: Divination and Dark Magic - This wood is strongly aligned with the energy of Saturn. Saturn is known to block other energies, represents the end of cycles, and the energy of the underworld. This would be an excellent wood for blocking the energy of other magick, and communication with the dead. And magick related to death would be highly effective with this wood. It acts as a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms. African Blackwood is also useful for exacting creative and intellectual changes in life, and removing communication barriers.
Core: Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world
Strength: Divination. Flexible nature, open to new ideas and knowledge.
Shape & Surface: Earthy and Strong.

Quidditch: Seeker – Gupta is not usually the most athletic of wizards, he much prefers a book to being up in the air. However, he did enjoy flying in his first year, more so then he'd enjoyed flights on carpets when visiting Cairo. Because of this, he thought trying out for the team would be fun, and has not been disappointed yet.

Favorite Class: Potions – Potion making is a similar art between Europe and Egypt. There are some differences, but Gupta has found that the two different styles mix well and easily, making this class his favorite.

Best Class: Divination – Gupta has always had a knack for the more abstract arts. Divination runs in his family, so he's very good, though he often prefers a more precise art.

Worst Class: Muggle Studies – Gupta took this class in his fifth year, and though he doesn't dislike it, he hasn't done very well in it.

Least Favorite Class: Charms – Spellwork is done differently in Egypt, making Charms class in Hogwarts, a hard class for Gupta, who learned to do things the Traditional Egyptian way. Eventually, he stopped trying to do his spells the European way, and has caused a few problems for poor Professor Flitwick due to it.

Animagus: Jackel - Always a quick learner, Gupta mastered this skill in his fifth year, and has used his ability quite often while at school, and out of school. He is not registered at the time being, and in light of all the things going on in the Wizarding world, feels it best to keep this skill to himself.

Patronus: Steppe Eagle - Gupta has had a great deal of trouble with this spell, and has not yet mastered it. The form he's gotten for his Patronus took a form similar to a bird.

Relationships:

Alfred F. Jones – Gupta and Alfred met a year ago in the library, and Gupta has been helping the younger student with becoming an Animagus. It's a hard going project, as Alfred is constantly shying away from the task.
Una Kirkland - Una has been a friend of Gupta's since their first year, when they met on the train. They get along well enough, and usually meet up in the library to study together, or at hogsmeade to have Fire Whiskey. It's a quiet relationship, and not a very well known one.

Pet:

Najma - An Egyptian Mau, Najma was a gift from Gupta's mother when he recieved his acceptance letter from Hogwarts. A very independant cat, Gupta is used to Najma disappearing for days at a time, knowing the feline will always return when he's ready. Najma is very cuddly with a few, but is mostly disinterested and even mean to strangers or other cats.

Extra Classes:

Divination - Gupta felt obligated to take this class when he became a third year, as the art is well known in his family, and his line has produced a fair number of seers, though Gupta himself is not a natural seer. He enjoyed the class, but found the teacher to be trivial and useless.
Arithmancy - A specialty of Gupta's, this class has been one he enjoys greatly, though he tends to quickly surpass his classmates.
Care of Magical Creatures - A class Gupta dropped rather quickly. He enjoyed learning about the different creatures, but found he's interests were not peaked with the subject, and felt it was a waste of his time for this reason.
Muggle Studies - Gupta took this class in his fifth year, and though he doesn't dislike it, he hasn't done very well in it.
