Appearance:

Name: John Lockhart

Age: 15

Year: Fifth Year

House: Gryffindor

Personality: John is a Gryffindor through and through. He's loyal to his friends, and believes very strongly in standing up for what he believes in. He's also a fierce fighter, and often thinks that most conflicts can be resolved with a wand or a fist. He's a social being but he's also incredibly smart, and if he isn't studying, it's probable that he is hanging out with friends.

History: John Beckett is what less cultured folk would call, a mudblood. He was born to two muggles, Olivia and Martin Beckett. His parents owned a very successful bakery and so the Becketts would often provide their son with every luxury. They did however make sure to keep him grounded, and as such made him work in the bakery at a young age. John began showing signs of magic at around five, when he turned a very rude customer's hair a bright, vibrant shade of green.

Once his Hogwarts letter came, his parents were thrilled. Every parent wants their child to be special and now their's was. John was sent to Hogwarts, wide eyed and curious. There he was sorted into Gryffindor where he became fast friends with most of the kids in his year. He quickly discovered his aptitude for Defence Against the Dark Arts, and it became his favorite subject. He excelled in most of his classes, however Herbology bored him. In his third year he began taking Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures, the former being his preferred class.

This year he decided he'd sign up for the mysterious Ghoul Studies, mostly just to prove to one of his friends that he wasn't to much of a pansy to face a bunch of ghosts. He figures it will look good on his auror application as well, seeing as how the class deals with all sorts of dark creatures.
