“Welcome students, to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now I know you are all excited whether it is your first year or your seventh year. As you may have heard, near the end of the last year a tsunami struck and seemingly abducted several students and two staff members, but I assure you the investigation is being handled by the Ministry of Magic and needs no interference from students or staff at the school. Any students caught interfering or withholding knowledge of the event will be subject to immediate punishment and possible expulsion.
A few changes in the curriculum are going into effect this year as well. We welcome four former students this year as teaching assistants as well as the addition of two new classes for those in their sixth and seventh years. Charms class will still be taught by Professor Gianni, with the addition of his teaching assistant Mister Adellette, Care of magical creatures will now be taught by Miss Page, who also will be assisting Professor Dew in Defense against the Dark Arts., Muggle studies is being taught by Mister Vedit who is also acting as a teaching assistant for Professor Kovac in Potion making,and Transifguration is taught by Professor Wentworth, assisted by Mister Dogg.
The new classes will be Archaic charms, a class centered around the summoning of bound beings from other realms taught by Mister Dogg, and a spell writing class to assist wizards in not injuring themselves when making a spell taught by Mister Adalette. These classes are exclusively for students in their sixth and seventh years. We hope you enjoy your time at Hogwarts, and please do not interfere with the investigation of the missing students. If a body is found, report it immediately to the investigators found around school grounds. DO NOT stop to let others know and do not observe the bodies.
We hope you find the changes to be easy to adapt to and expect nothing but excellence and obedience from all of you.
-Headmaster Gallanfrey.”
Well, here you are at an original alternate universe Harry Potter RP. There are Four GM’s, ReaptheMusic, DocTachyon, CinderellaMan, and myself. We will act as characters to help move the story along when things get off topic and steer you towards finding out what happened to the missing students. You will be making students at Hogwarts in the midst of strange natural disasters that tend to abduct students, and deliver them back with strange causes of death. A tsunami and the disappearance of over 45 students has caused unrest, as the bodies of the missing began showing up, so far only 3 have been found, none were victims of drowning, covered in mysterious runes and symbols. It's undergoing a slow investigation by the ministry of magic. Some might say too slow. Someone needs to intervene, but who among us is brave enough to challenge the Ministry?

Name: Aloysius (pronounced Al-e-wish-us) Fisher
Age/Year: 16 Year 5
Gender: Male
Appearance:
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.

- Al continues his efforts to be a magical confectioner, currently trying to increase his charms and transfiguration skills to help him in this effort.
- Al has a small white Bombay kitten as a pet
NAME: James (Jimmy) Stuart
AGE/YEAR: 18/7th Year
GENDER: Male
BLOOD PURITY: Pureblood
HOUSE: Gryffindor
SHORT BIO:
Jimmy is the youngest of five with three older brothers and one older sister, all of whom graduated from Gryffindor long before he ever set foot in Hogwarts. As it was, if he didn't join their ranks, he would've been outcast – resulting in one of the longest sortings in recent memory as he argued with the hat that, no, Ravenclaw isn't the house for him because only losers go there.
It was very likely the wrong decision, as to fit himself in with his new house he embraced the traits of laziness and procrastination, so as to not pull too far ahead of his friends. Having decided on his future as an explorer and curse-breaker (there must have been some fearlessness and foolishness in there somewhere) he studied solely for the subjects that mattered and resorted to the good old method of 'winging it' for the rest.
Currently, Jimmy holds the record for the most late-comings in one term (having hit himself with a drowsiness jinx on purpose to get out of History of Magic and using that excuse for all his other subjects too), as well as being one of the most daring students, having never refused a challenge in an effort to over-compensate for being sorted into the “wrong” house. One of his prized possessions is a transfigured plaque given to him by an older student for diving into the lake mid-winter. He never has been expelled, mostly because he's only a danger to himself, but he supposed he would receive a harsher punishment if they knew he took lovely night-time strolls around the castle.
LIKES: Adventure, Research, Ancient Runes
DISLIKES: Glasses, Ravenclaw, Cowards
PERSONALITY:
Jimmy is over-confident, loud-mouthed and often forgets his manners (on purpose). As an extrovert, he hates loneliness whether it be in himself or others and can be quite heavy-handed in his attempts to make friends with those who have none; however, if it backfires, he takes it to heart and often resorts to being plain mean, a defense mechanism from growing up as the youngest. While he learns quickly and thoroughly, Jimmy has devoted himself fully into the stereotype of a Gryffindor; a lazy student who only performs to his fullest potential when he is actually interested in the subject matter. Despite his studying habits, he is not unmotivated – in fact, he is rather determined to succeed in the unusual field he has chosen.
WAND WOOD: Sycamore, 14”
WAND CORE:Dragon Heartstring
PATRONUS: Jackal
INTERESTING FACTS:
– A good beater, mostly because nobody ever wanted to play that role in Quiddich games with his family.
– Is from a fairly prestigious pureblood family that, while not discriminatory to Muggleborns, has yet to have one marry in.
– Takes an interest in history (particularly to do with wars and conflict) but loathes History of Magic with a passion.
– Strangely patriotic and takes pride in his Scottish accent.

Teaching Assistants
Name: Artemis Reaprand Page
Age/Year: 23, Grad student
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Blood purity: Half-Blood
House: Former Gryffindor
Short Bio: Artemis grew up in a competitive household; as the only daughter of a single mother wizard and her two brothers, one of them a wizard himself, she was constantly striving to be the center of attention. It’s due to this atmosphere that she grew up to be the competitive young woman she is today, however, much of that had to be contributed to her best friends she met at Hogwarts. Kurt, Terrence and Julius have been her friends since her first year. She doesn’t sweat the details of how they met but it had to do with her totally slaughtering a big bug and saving all their pansy asses. She graduated from Hogwarts a few years ago and revolutionized the Hogwarts mail system with her mail project, introducing messenger dragons to the system. After hearing of how owls could be preyed on she carefully bred dragons the size of a forearm that could be as friendly as a puppy to be more safe during their passage in carrying mail than a vulnerable owl. Today, she works towards being recognized as an official professor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She teaches Care of Magical Creatures and assists in teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Likes: Dueling, Muggle Music, Hanging with Kurt, T. Dogg and Julius
Dislikes: Obnoxiousness, Howlers, Sexism
Personality: Artemis is incredibly competitive to the point of bullheadedness. Atop of her bravery and catering to spells that assist in expressing the flamboyance of her personality, she has proven to listen to her heart over reason. Despite this, she would never cater to the Dark Arts, and is fiercely loyal to her friends and affiliates. She is known for her fondness of magical animals, plants, and dueling. In fact, if she had the choice to do so, she would duel anyone at the drop of a hat.
Wand wood: Rowan
Wand Core: Dragon Heartstring
Patronus Form: A Crow
Interesting Facts:
-Close Friends refer to her as Murderbeak
-Her favorite food is constantly changing. Sometimes its curry, sometimes its sushi, and sometimes its chocolate, etc, but it’s never the same thing twice.
-Her older muggle brother is affiliated with the military, working as a missile technician on submarines
-Her eldest, wizard brother runs a profoundly super successful wizards casino called ‘Accio, Money’
-She is in a monogamous relationship with a Wizard from Durmstram named Abyss

Name: Julius Adallette
Age/Year: 22/grad student
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Blood purity: Pure
House: Former Slytherin
Short Bio: A wizard born of wizards, the second son in the family, Julius was almost destined for slytherin simply due to being pure. His whole life was full of magic, always seeing his parents use it for entertainment, to help with chores, or performing complex tasks. Magic was something that was used most often for fun, and that’s what he planned on doing with it, usually at the expense of others. His first years at hogwarts were spent dodging classes and learning spells that nobody else seemed to bother with, probably because nobody saw them as practical aside from himself. His brother was a Ravenclaw, and would criticise his pursuit of the less practical or powerful spells, and tried to teach him the normal spells. Some of them did stick with him, but most went in one ear and out the other. He would use he spells he learned to prank, trick, entertain or confuse other students. One of his many misadventures led him to meet Artemis Reaprand Page, Kurt Vedit and Terrence Dogg, even though they were in different houses. He went into the Forbidden Forest to practice his engorgio spell on some insects when his wand decided to overpower the spell. A giant bug then chased him through the forest straight into Artemis, Kurt and Terrence. The three would become some of the best wizards in their years and are all currently studying to be teachers as well.
Likes: Creativity, Spotlights, Hexes
Dislikes: Ravenclaws, Strictness, Being alone
Personality: Flamboyant may be the best descriptor for Julius. He is constantly using spells in ways not normally used, be it in a flashy way or just a strange way that isn’t anywhere close to being a good use. He tried out for the quidditch team twice, both times he didn’t make it, but he kept the broom because he loved travelling with it. He spends his time trying to entertain the members of the house he used to be in, as well as the occasional other house straggler. He’s friendly, trustworthy, but can be cruel to those who go against him or his friends. He’s a good ally, and a terrible enemy.
Wand wood: Cedar

Interesting facts: His parents are divorced, while his mother is more like his brother, his father is a near perfect mix of both his sons style of magic. His closest friends call him Dartum because his patronus is a hummingbird

Name: Terrence Dogg
Age/Year: 18, Grad-Student
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Blood purity: Mudblood
House: Former Ravenclaw
Short Bio: Terrence was born to two lower-middle class African-American parents in Detroit, Michigan. They hadn't been expecting a child, as they couldn't really afford to go to the hospital to check when his mother was sick. Upon realizing how tough raising a child in their home city his parents moved to live with some of his mother's family in England. Of course, this wouldn't prove easy for those used to a life of "thugs." They often had to work for days at a time, leaving Terrance with his grandmother who would typically shove him off into a work space with a stack of books and a stack of paper. He was told not to come out until he could copy down the books word for word. For about 11 years, he sat in that room and copied down books by hand over and over until eventually he got a random letter from what he found out to be Hogwarts. His parents were skeptics at first, but slowly came to accept the School for Wizardry despite it's..oddities. It was there that he met his three "best" friends, Kurt, Artemis, and Julius through an adventure in the Forbidden Forest involving him having to clean up someone else's mess of spells.
Likes: Reading books for errors, warm baths, feeling superior
Dislikes: Rude people, social interaction on a grand scale, being sassed.
Personality: Terrence is a surprisingly quiet individual that doesn't talk much excepting situations where he absolutely has to. When the time comes where Terrence has to open his mouth, he's a highly sarcastic and intellectual individual. He tends to take notes on things that people say so that he can review it in response to them. He typically refuses to speak in large crowds, but when he does, he does his best to grab the attention of many. He also has a sort of childish side to him, which causes him to do somewhat illogical things out of complete curiosity. Terrence also loves exploring new things to the point where a new book, be it a dictionary or a fiction book, will end with him not leaving his chamber for hours.
Wand wood: Sycamore
Wand Core: Unicorn Hair
Patronus Form: An owl of indeterminable species.
Interesting Facts: Terrence is an unregistered Animagus with the form of a black owl.
Due to his Animagus form he netted the name "Nightwing."
Maintains a constant that his favorite superhero is Thor, due to his middle name.

Name: Kurt Vedit
Age/Year: 18, Grad Student
Gender: Male
Appearance: Appearance sometimes wears the hat with goggles like in this picture
Blood purity: Mud Blood
House: Hufflepuff
Short Bio: Kurt has always had an intense interest in magic, in various muggle fictions. He read about it as much as he could, though this would do him little good in later life. At around age ten he began creating his own fictional magic system, trying to dream up some kind of fantastic world with dragons and knights and wizards to use it in. This venture of his imagination was cut short when he got his letter from Hogwarts. He didn’t believe this was possible- His parents were scientists and he had quite the imagination, but magic seemed… Well, physically impossible. But he figured he’d be good,, after all the reading he’d done. This proved to be a fallacy, he was good at magic, but by no means an expert.
He did find, however, that he excelled in potion making. He found it a deal more reliable than his wand, and in some cases more useful. He does use his wand to good effect though, memorizing a number of utility spells, preferring to defer to his potions for more combat oriented magic(ranging from decidedly explosive potions to strengthening potions).
Eventually during his school career he encountered Artemis Page, Terrence Dogg, and Julius Adallette, assisting Terrence and Artemis in saving him from a particularly large bug.
For his senior project, Kurt developed an advanced system of magic, he calls the WizNet. it is essentially the internet for wizards. It is accessed through use of a small white box that can be bought from many wizarding stores, which calls up a holographic user interface. Currently on the WizNet there are a few dozen websites, one is tumblr esque, another is similar to Facebook or MySpace, one is Amazon.com for potion ingreidents, and another is essentially Wizard Wikipedia(WizWiki). The others are all sites that perform miscellaneous functions.
Along with the others, he went on to become one of the top tier wizards in his year.
Nowadays he is a teachers assistant in the potions class, and he teaches the muggle studies class.
Likes:
-WizNet
-Writing
-Muggle Stuff
Dislikes:
-Pure Bloods(in general, they’re elitist pricks!)
-The dark
-Bunny costumes(traumatic experience with Donnie Darko when he was younger…)
Personality:
Kurt is many things, and he is largely a thinker. When meeting new people he prefers to stay quiet and listen to what they have to say, quietly collecting information and deciding if he’d like to be their friend or not. When he has met a friend his demeanor changes entirely, he loves to ramble on about all of his ideas(which may/may not be good, god knows they aren’t consistent in quality) for ages, but to the same token loves hearing the thoughts of others. He likes debating issues, but he hates to start actual arguments as they are troublesome to deal with. Kurt is a fairly empathic person and is typically tell what someone is feeling(though he occasionally pulls a real ‘idiot ball’ and any subtlety sails right over his head). Kurt is incredibly loyal to his friends, and would follow them to hell and back. Though, over his friends, he likes to think he values justice above all, although his emotions are often swayed to pick the option that is perhaps not the most noble.

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.
Wand wood: Cedar
Wand Core: Dragon Heartstring
Patronus Form: Tiger
Interesting Facts:
- Al scars are usually covered up by bandages and long sleeves.
- Al periodically sneaks into the Herbology greenhouses for ingredients and, in rarer cases, the Forbidden Forrest.
- Al has a battered little notebook which he writes potions formula and methods. Inherited from his father, containing some of his experiments as well.
- Al continues his efforts to be a magical confectioner, currently trying to increase his charms and transfiguration skills to help him in this effort.
- Al has a small white Bombay kitten as a pet
Name: Lauren Maria Maroney
Age/Year: 18/ seventh year
Gender: Female
Appearance: Lauren is about 5'6", slender in build and has light olive skin, showing her father's italian heritage mixed with her mother's purely british one. She has long, dark brown hair that falls in waves over her shoulders and halfway down her back. She is kind of pretty but would only be average if not for the exotic look of her features working in her favour there, especially because of her big, light brown eyes and long dark eye-lashes. Matching her personality, she has a mature look to her and is usually in control of her facial expressions.
Blood purity: Muggle-born
House: Hufflepuff
Short Bio: Lauren was born and raised in a muggle household. Neither her parents, nor her three younger siblings were or turned out to be wizards, so of course it was hard for her to adapt to Hogwarts at first. However, due to her personality it didn't take her long to find friends who explained this new world to her and told her everything she needed to know. It took her years to get used to changing back and forth between those two so very different worlds and she pretty much constantly misses one of them, even now.
Lauren has been a serious student from the start, who works hard for her good grades. The only thing she easily excells at his Herbology, most likely, because it had been her favourite from the very first time she stepped a foot into the greenhouses and she's just really interested in it. Now, in her last year, she looks back at her years with a lot of fond memories, and has yet to get into any real trouble, though with everything that has been happening in the school, she fears that will change this year. She is studying hard to master the N.E.W.T.'s coming up, because she is aspiring to become a healer.
Likes: Herbology, Experiments, Coffee
Dislikes: Surprises, Intolerance, Moving Stairways
Personality: Lauren appears to be mature cause she is quiet and to keep calm in stressful situations and prefers to think before she acts. She is very patient and caring, probably due to looking after her three younger siblings whenever she is at home. She dislikes confrontations, but that doesn't mean she is shy or weak, she just can't stand people being unreasonable and hot-headed. Lauren is very fond of her friends and in return well-liked, and though not quick to judge, she is not quick to truly trust someone either. You wouldn't expect it, but she has quite the dark sense of humour and can be rather sarcastic and pessimistic if she's in a bad mood.
Wand wood: Chestnut
Wand Core: Unicorn Hair
Patronus Form: Otter
Interesting Facts: - She is kind of directionally challenged and therefore constantly getting confused by the moving stairways. It had gotten a lot better, but it still happens to her to be late to class because she got a little lost along the way. She prefers walking there with at least one other person, preferably more.
- She has been singing in the school's choir since her third year.
- The only one calling her by her second name is her father, other than her family barely anyone knows she even has one.
- When she was young she wanted to become a doctor, like her father.

NAME: James (Jimmy) Stuart
AGE/YEAR: 18/7th Year
GENDER: Male
BLOOD PURITY: Pureblood
HOUSE: Gryffindor
SHORT BIO:
Jimmy is the youngest of five with three older brothers and one older sister, all of whom graduated from Gryffindor long before he ever set foot in Hogwarts. As it was, if he didn't join their ranks, he would've been outcast – resulting in one of the longest sortings in recent memory as he argued with the hat that, no, Ravenclaw isn't the house for him because only losers go there.
It was very likely the wrong decision, as to fit himself in with his new house he embraced the traits of laziness and procrastination, so as to not pull too far ahead of his friends. Having decided on his future as an explorer and curse-breaker (there must have been some fearlessness and foolishness in there somewhere) he studied solely for the subjects that mattered and resorted to the good old method of 'winging it' for the rest.
Currently, Jimmy holds the record for the most late-comings in one term (having hit himself with a drowsiness jinx on purpose to get out of History of Magic and using that excuse for all his other subjects too), as well as being one of the most daring students, having never refused a challenge in an effort to over-compensate for being sorted into the “wrong” house. One of his prized possessions is a transfigured plaque given to him by an older student for diving into the lake mid-winter. He never has been expelled, mostly because he's only a danger to himself, but he supposed he would receive a harsher punishment if they knew he took lovely night-time strolls around the castle.
LIKES: Adventure, Research, Ancient Runes
DISLIKES: Glasses, Ravenclaw, Cowards
PERSONALITY:
Jimmy is over-confident, loud-mouthed and often forgets his manners (on purpose). As an extrovert, he hates loneliness whether it be in himself or others and can be quite heavy-handed in his attempts to make friends with those who have none; however, if it backfires, he takes it to heart and often resorts to being plain mean, a defense mechanism from growing up as the youngest. While he learns quickly and thoroughly, Jimmy has devoted himself fully into the stereotype of a Gryffindor; a lazy student who only performs to his fullest potential when he is actually interested in the subject matter. Despite his studying habits, he is not unmotivated – in fact, he is rather determined to succeed in the unusual field he has chosen.
WAND WOOD: Sycamore, 14”
WAND CORE:Dragon Heartstring
PATRONUS: Jackal
INTERESTING FACTS:
– A good beater, mostly because nobody ever wanted to play that role in Quiddich games with his family.
– Is from a fairly prestigious pureblood family that, while not discriminatory to Muggleborns, has yet to have one marry in.
– Takes an interest in history (particularly to do with wars and conflict) but loathes History of Magic with a passion.
– Strangely patriotic and takes pride in his Scottish accent.
Name: Charlotte Marie Springer
Age/Year: 17, year six
Gender: Female
Appearance
Blood purity: Muggle born
House: Gryffindor
Short Bio: Both of Charlotte's parents are muggles. Her father, Charlie, owns a pub, and he met Charlotte's mother, Marie, when he employed her to tend bar. A one night stand produced Charlotte, and the less-than-willing couple got married before anyone knew Marie was pregnant to avoid a public scandal. Charlie wanted a son to name after himself, but he got a daughter instead, though he'd call her "Charlie" or even "Junior" when he was drunk. Marie retaliated by calling her the much more feminine "Lottie." Having a daughter made Marie think she'd have the best rapport with their child, and was a bit surprised when her daughter took a liking playing adventure games outdoors. Still, she managed to get one over on Lottie's father, who could hardly ever get away from the pub to join them when Charlotte wanted to go camping.
The letter from Hogwarts changed the family's tenuous relationship completely. Now instead of fighting over the attention of their daughter, Charlie and Marie felt equally and oddly detached from their daughter, and came together to try to understand her new world. During holiday after her first year, Charlie closed the pub to join one of Charlotte's camping trips, which now included completely earnest hunts for faeries and unicorns in addition to the usual pretend games. Though Charlie and Marie are closer to each other, the combination of an entire new world, and long months at a boarding school have created a rift between them and their daughter.
Likes: New places, the outdoors, flying
Dislikes: Sitting still for too long(the exception being if she's reading a particularly engrossing adventure story), deep water, baggy clothes.
Personality: Charlotte, despite everything, loves both of her dysfunctional parents dearly and will accept any of the various names they use for her. She was a precocious and curious child and is just as likely to find herself out of bounds today. She sometimes seems like an adrenaline junky, and is just as happy to climb a cliff face as she is to fly to the top on broomstick. Charlotte is known for being impulsive and brash. School life only agrees with her half of the time. Sitting in class makes her antsy, but practical lessons are plentiful and there's always Care of Magical Creatures to let her get outside for a while.
Wand wood: Sycamore, 12 inches. The handle is thick for an easy grip, and is carved to have a pommel at the end which curves slightly downward, giving the wand a "top" and "bottom." Charlotte has discovered that it is best to hold her wand "right side up." The shaft is moderately springy, it starts about an eighth of an inch smaller around than the handle, and tapers gently to a quarter inch diameter at the end.
Wand Core: Unicorn hair
Patronus Form: Bear
Interesting Facts:
- Owns a male barn owl called Indiana(after Indiana Jones. After finding out she was a witch, she became obsessed with the idea that there might be magical truth to the movies It actually wasn't until the fourth movie came out that she finally abandoned the idea).
- Surprisingly takes interest in both Ancient Runes and History of Magic classes
- Rides a Cleansweep 7
- Carries her wand in a holster at her right hip. Though holsters are usually associated with duelists, she chose this to keep it in easy reach when climbing or otherwise physically engaged.
-Wants to be an archaeologist, or a cursebreaker when she gets out of school.
