David is taking Transfiguration, Defence, Charms, Alchemy, Ancient Runes and Potions.
Name: David Windstrider
Appearance: Pale skinned, 6'1", 170 pounds, not skinny but not buff either, usually wears his House Robe with blue threads stitched alongside the green ones in a helix. Has black, straight, medium length hair and intensely green eyes. His ears are slightly pointed.
Age: 16
Year: 6th
House: Slytherin
Short bio: David, as a pureblood, has grown in relative luxury and was able to train in the wizarding ways from an early age. While not strictly speaking ancient and not particularly influential politically, the Windstrider house is perhaps one of the most wealthy, thanks to some strategic marriages with Gringotts directors. Many members of house Windstrider are thus partially goblin in ancestry, David himself being 1/8th that. This allows for some uses of wandless magic, completely wandless for very simple charms and only needing the wand in hand without waving it for medium ones. David has always been interested in battle magic/defense against the dark arts, due to his natural advantage, and is often seen duelling when the opportunity presents itself. Also, through his extensive studies, he was recognized as one of the masters of Transmutation, recognition which singlehandedly won him the role of Perfect in his fifth year.
Personality: David is extremely open minded. Some might say even too open minded. He sees nothing as taboo, and can often be heard making such outrageous suggestions like incorporating muggle technology in the Floo system, tracking squib populations for genetic patterns, and even unbanning Crucio. In general, he is an aggressively opportunistic, perfectionist and power-hungry person that always looks for avenues to increase his knowledge, spell mastery, or the wealth of his family. In first year, the sorting hat told him he would fit equally well in ravenclaw and slytherin, and he went for the latter only because it was strategically better for the purpose of maybe collecting underlings.
Wand: cherry, 12 inches, phoenix feather
Hobbies: David loves wizarding duels and has been training and participating in competitions since first year. He is also a specialist Transmuter, with a level of knowledge almost on par with the teachers. Also, as a Windstrider, he is well versed in the science of economy, having studied both the works of great goblin analysts and muggles. His personal heroes are Milton Friedman and Merlin, the first for his keen understanding of how wealth is generated, and the second for his initiative to command and order the wizarding world.
Pets: David has an owl named Celeste, who, because of the many transmuting experiments David put it through, is permanently glittering.
Personal possessions: Extradimensional chest (it's bigger on the inside), all books required for 6th and 7th year, several pairs of robes for special ocasions, a couple books on Muggle economy, advanced math, and game theory, and tons of galleons. Literally.
Patronus: David's patronus is a chimpanzee.
Relationships: N/A
NPCs: David's best friend Charles Johnson is a 6th year Ravenclaw muggleborn. David values him for his unwavering loyalty and vast memory. A walking encyclopaedia, David often bounces ideas off him in his researches and while studying for exams. The Slytherin David hangs around with started out being condescending of Charles and not giving him much credit, but David called them idiots and let Charles prove himself by aceing every single class and exam. The two boys are oftentimes seen together.

WIP
Name: Frederique Dagen
Appearance: Average height bald male teacher. Wears green robes embroidered with golden runes randomly distributed on the sleeves.
Age: 40
Short bio: Dagen is a French wizard that used to work at Beauxbatons as a runes lecturer, and moved to Hogwarts after a place opened up for himself. Runic archaeology was richer and more diverse in Britain, and Dagen was always more an explorer at heart than a teacher. He quickly got along with the Hogwarts crowd, especially getting attached to the inquisitive Ravenclaw.
Personality: Dagen is not the most formal man on the planet. He often talks to his students as peers and does as much as he can to make them enjoy the stuff he teaches as much as he does. He rarely subtracts points for someone's disobedience or absenteeing, but is known to give out very difficult test papers. While teaching, he exudes an aura of joy, empowered every time he grabs hold of a "new" ancient manuscript or recipe to present.
Wand: Fir, dragon heartstring core, stiff, 11 inches
Patronus: lemur
