Alright, let's give this a crack. Let me know if there are any issues :) [hider=Aloysius Fisher] Name: Aloysius (pronounced Al-e-wish-us) Fisher Age/Year: 16 Year 5 Gender: Male Appearance: [img=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/de/1e/f3/de1ef3d03568a79a6fa32ded77b11933.jpg] Blood purity: Half blood House: Ravenclaw Short Bio: Aloysius (Al to his friends) was born into a confectionery family. His wizard father was a potions major at his time at Hogwarts and quickly started teaching young Al about the subject from as soon as he was able to understand speech. What herbs are needed to make a sleep draught, how potion effects change when inhaled in a gaseous state and how to make salves and balms that ease pain. Al's mother on the other hand taught him about candies, chocolates and cakes. These two disciplines clashed when young eight year old Al was first taught about the making of hard-boiled sweets. Young Al wanted to make some lollipops that would change colour with each lick and after doing some quick research in some of his Dad's old textbooks, figured he could make them pretty quickly. After 'borrowing' some of his father's potions apparatus Al set about his cooking attempt. It went so well for about ten seconds, then the magic infused, molten, sugar started to melt the beaker it was in while he was holding it. Al threw the melting sugar and glass away where it shattered against the wall splashing the molten pieces all around the room and burning his right hand and arm in a jagged tiger stripe pattern. Screaming in pain, Al ran down to his father who after treating his burns slapped Al and told him off for being an idiot. Then his father promptly showed Al how it should have been done and then shoved a lollipop in Al's mouth, promising to teach him better in the future. Years later Al's old burns still hurt and they had slightly damaged his nerves, making the grip of his right hand slightly weak when he received his letter for Hogwarts. This concerned his mother, but his father had some bandages and ointments made to dilute the pain and sent a letter ahead informing the faculty about his condition. Throughout his years at Hogwarts Al had made few friends, telling virtually no one about his dream to revolutionize the world of magical candy or what happened to his right arm. Spending a lot of time in the first year potions classrooms Al made many sweets in his spare time, leaving them when he was done. This caused a rumor of there being some kind of ghost that leaves sweets in the first year classrooms. Al to this day has no idea that he was the reason for this rumor. Likes: Sweets, Potions and Music Dislikes: Fire, Liars and anything Bitter Personality: Al is perceptive and shrewd and doesn't make friends easily, but when he does they are a friend for life, even if they drift away or have a falling out with him. He tolerates no lies or falsities, if he feels he has been wronged he will get even in his own time be that months or even years. He is serious in his own way, his priorities are simply different from most other peoples with improving his candy or potions skills taking priority.
