Although Kaiden developed his magic at a normal age, he was enraptured by the way his father managed to interact with these creatures despite having no ability to use magic himself. Such actions were still dangerous, but it taught him the lesson that not every problem needed magic to solve it. After receiving his letter for Hogwarts, he attended the school only during the times when it was actually in session, always returning to the farm in between semesters. He was an average student in most fields, displaying a bit of a talent in herbology and potions making, but his true passion and creativity were reserved for magical creatures. During his time at Hogwarts he submitted, and was denied, over thirty requests for an alternate type of pet, with the most common reason being cited as 'too dangerous to be permitted on the grounds'. Aside from a fairly profitable business as a cattle farmer after taking over the operations from his father, Kaiden has been living the quiet life, not seeing much of a reason to go beyond the farm property save for twice a year when he meets up with a group of his friends from his graduating years at the school. Despite this seeming self-imposed isolation, Kaiden's scores and experience with magical creatures makes him a solid choice for the new professor of Care of Magical Creatures. Favorite Hogwarts Memory: During his sixth year at Hogwarts, the class was to study a Kappa that had been brought in for the class and was supposedly kept docile by a potion. However, after a prank pulled by a classmate, the Kappa became irritated and attempted to drown the classmate that had earned its ire. Due to the proximity with the creature, the instructor was unable to get a clear shot with a stunning charm until Kaiden approached the creature with a cucumber sandwich he had apparently brought for lunch that day. The kappa let go of the student, allowing the situation to de-escalate and both student and creature were escorted from the class without further incident.
