4th Year

Blood Status:

Ravenclaw

Pet:
Beto the Rat, saved from an Occamy by Amit's father during a trip to India.

Boggart:
A Rabid Bull Mastiff. Amit was once attacked by a bull mastiff and was saved by his mother who was able to pull out her wand and use the body freezing spell on it.
Amit see's it as a dog with a tail on both sides and no head, just wagging and spinning around, when casting Riddikulus.

Wand:
Fir Wood, Unicorn Hair Core, 11 1/2", Springy

Favourite Lesson:
Herbology, Amit found he had a knack for the subject, and it's one of the few he doesn't need to study consistently.

Least Favourite Lesson:
Defense Against the Dark Arts, Amit has always had trouble targeting living things with his magic and believes it will not be necessary in his lifetime. He's also a little bit intimidated by Professor Thorne.

Extracurricular Activities:
Quidditch Chaser, not the best in the school, or likely on the team. Avid member of the Gobstones Club, he even has a large collection that he carries on his person at most times. Amit recently took up Wizard's Chess and is hoping to start a club on campus to play.

Appearance:
Amit is 5'2" tall and weighs around 110 lbs. He has short black hair and light brown skin that both often have a fine layer of grease regardless of how often he showers. Puberty has taken it's toll on Amit, and he often has at least two small pimples on his chin, as well as a few scar marks from picking.

Amit wears a pair of large brown spectacles with his school robes and a small charm around his neck in the shape of a Phoenix feather. Amit has a small gold earring on his right ear this year that he didn't have the previous year. Amit usually has his black slightly ragged school bag with a blue Gobstone branded pouch attached holding his collection of the toys.

Personality:
Amit was the class clown for his first two years at Hogwarts, but as he matured he's become more introverted and tried to focus on his studies. Amit isn't against having friends, but hasn't had luck in the past, in part due to being a little darker skinned than the others. This had caused him to push away from most of his heritage the previous years and focus on fitting in, going as far as to make fun of himself consistently. Amit is going into his fourth year intent on making at least one long lasting friendship and embracing his heritage more openly after his recent homecoming.

Amit will spend most of his time face deep in a textbook doing his best to pass his classes or playing Gobstones, one of his few continuing hobbies from his clown days. When he's throwing stones his happy go lucky personality comes out and he will smile from ear to ear. Amit recently discovered girls and has had trouble expressing this. He often hunches over as he walks focusing on the ground in front of him.

Backstory:
Amit was born in India and lived there until he was 8 with his mother and father. Although he wasn't aware of the hardships in the Indian muggle world at the time, it had bled into the wizarding world where there were fears that the British Ministry of Magic was planning to exert control over India's Ministry. This caused his father to be stationed in the United Kingdom as an ambassador with the family following. Before getting his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Amit was home schooled by his mother while his father traveled between the British Ministry of Magic and the Indian Ministry of Magic. Amit knew few other children during this time, mostly because of his mothers lack of friendships in the UK. Amit rarely played with his magic abilities before going to Hogwarts, as self control was expected from his parents.

After receiving his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Amit went to his first year. His father was able to take him to Diagon Ally while home from work, one of the few moments of quality time the two had spent together in the previous 3 years. While looking for his textbooks, Amit's father was called to return to the ministry. Amit who felt rushed, yelled at his father insisting that his mother should have brought him instead because "she actually cares about me." His father yelled back and the two argued in the street until his father forced him to return home without all his school items. His father ended up bringing what was left the next day. The two would speak very little for the next 2 years, mostly through Amit's mother. It wasn't clear who was in the wrong that day, but it had brought a lot of issues to the surface. Amit still spoke to his mother regularly through owl post, and occasionally saw his father in the pages of the Daily Prophet.

This recent summer Amit's mother urged his father to take Amit to India during a work trip. Amit's father agreed with some coaxing. The two didn't seem to know how to act around each other for the first month. Then Amit went with his father to their childhood home where an Occamy had taken up residence. His father dispatched it, and gave Amit a baby rat who's mother had been eaten by the magical beast. This began a conversation between the two, and they'd continue to speak over the rest of the summer, finally getting to know each other. His father walked him around the Indian Ministry and purchased him traditional dress to wear during the trip. His favorite part was visiting Hazratganj where his father purchased him a flying carpet as well as a Niranjan (a magical earing). He quickly found that he flew better on the carpet than a broom. As for the Niranjan, he isn't sure how it's supposed to make him invisible yet, but his father assured him that it indeed held that power.

During an especially deep conversation, Amit's father disclosed to him how important his time at the Thuvaraiyam (India's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) had been to him, and his hopes that his son would have a similar experience at Hogwarts. This had a large focus on creating friendships that he told his son had lasted to this day, and had helped him to be successful. Amit even met some of his fathers childhood friends during the trip, including a Magi (India's term for an Auror) who gave him some pointers to help with defence against the dark arts classes.

When Amit returned home at the end of the summer, he barely had time to make it to the Hogwarts Express. His mother was waiting at the station and he bid them both farewell.

Extra:
Amit will grow up to be the father of the Patil Twins.

The World

Location:

BBS 1204 (Above Tacoma, WA)

Music: youtube.com/watch?v=Y8zzAV1iKTY

The air feels thick, even humid. It’s hard to tell if it’s due to the sheer amount of people on the BBS or if they’ve turned off the air conditioning, but the fact is it almost feels like you’re flying through a cloud. That may be because you are, you’ve heard the northwest was moist, to be prepared for rain, but this is just ridiculous.

A look around the cabin shows there’s at least 40 other people in the cart with you. Most are student age like yourself with vibrant colored hair and fashion styles, but a few are adults, business professionals by the look of them. Most of them stare out the windows into the darkness of the night, assumedly using their AR for one thing or another, but it’s not always clear without seeing the tell of darting eyes, like reading a sign in the distance.

Outside the windows you’re currently hundreds of feet in the air in near pitch dark, the only light coming from the weak blue LED’s lining the cabin. In front of you are the fixed path guideways, the train passes through them at awe inspiring speed producing a barely noticeable reverberation through the floor and walls. They’ve become commonplace in most residential areas, floating like monoliths above the people below. A sign of the ever changing time. The ground beneath you quickly changes, occasionally you see city lights and your AR or smartphone reminds you how far from your stop you are.

For those using AR, it registers your thought and a small box floats in front of you as a thought pops into your head “You will arrive in 15 minutes. Please prepare your items for deboarding.”

It seems others on the train have all received the same message, whether through a notification on their smartphones, or through AR, and are readying to depart. The lights in the train car flash back on, filling the long narrow room with stark white. Faces appear in the crowd of people.

Some of the passengers have had longer trips than others, jumping from one BBS to the next. At longest it’s been a day and 12 layovers, at shortest 20 minutes straight through. Luckily, the results are the same. Most passenger are on their way to Casper Academy to begin their school year. Many of the students are returning for their second year. They tend to have a certain amount more grace than their first year counterparts, and have already segregated themselves into pacts formed the previous year.

It’s your first year. And like many others on the train this will be your first time from home. Some are taking it well, but there’s at least one dark haired boy with glasses who has been sniffling throughout the ride, likely already homesick, or simply terrified of heights. Students pull out bags from overhanging compartments, most full to the brim with clothing and other necessities for the year. The occasional student looks wildly unprepared with only a backpack to their name.

Outside the window Seattle itself comes into view. Flanked on one side by the Puget Sound, it looks liable to slip into the ocean at a moments notice. The whole area is covered in old winding highways that go largely unused at this time. Keen eyed students can make out large EcoCraft floating around the city transporting people throughout. AR devices begin to spit out information about Seattle, it’s history, interesting facts, places to visit, and many break down the best way to get to Casper Academy from the station. Those with smartphones must look up this important information independently, and many students are taking their last moments on the train to do just that.

The BBS begins to slow as you arrive above the city. Most peoples AR devices light up as the sky fills with advertising, holograms coming off of buildings, welcoming travelers into the capitalist utopia below. Students with smartphones are spared the spectacle, but it’s hard not to feel like you’re missing out as others begin to interact with the AR World in front of them.

Tick tock. Tick......

BBS 1204 (Somewhere else)

Music: youtube.com/watch?v=5nTv5cSv_kE&list=…

The change is so quick, you barely notice the lights are gone and the many electronic devices cease to function. The city below once vivid in colored light, only produces a menacing red. The blue light lining the train car has changed to a crimson hue, accenting the spiderwebs that have appeared on the surface of every static object. Where there was once moist oxygen, is now dry air that instantly produces a burning sensation in your nostrils, like being in a room with bleach fumes. Everyone around you in the car, aside from 6 other students who look equally taken aback, appear to have vanished without leaving any trace behind.

Only now do you realize the BBS has ceased moving as well, which is from you knowledge physically impossible. You’re trapped 400 feet in the air above an abandoned Seattle, surrounded by red tinted spiderwebs, with no signs of the spiders that should call them home.

The dark haired boy that had been weeping during the trip yells out to the stillness “What tha hell is goin on!” without skipping a beat he yells out again as he stands up. Clearly shaking as items begin to fall out of his bag “I can’t dew this, I can’t dew this!”. Then there is a huge crash that echoes through the car, as the window behind him exploded into his back. The glass digs into his skin through his clothes as a black insect like claw comes through from the other side and digs into his shoulder. He barely has time to scream as he’s pulled through the broken window. The red splashes of blood and a few items from his bag are all of him left in the car.

@Raddum I made one tiiiiiiny change.

Persona: Forget the Night

@Dogematix The actual best part of the entire Confidant story was the moment when Ryuji had to go to the bathroom mid-operation and spent 20 minutes in there.

EDIT: I made it to Rank 9 with... Becky's... Confidant story, but I had to reject her because I was deeply devoted to my relationship with Ann.

Leather fetish.

@Ammokkx At the end she tries to not get to deep, but you keep prodding and she dates you. It gets a little weird from a lot of angles. I think all said and done its kind of a good example of how these things can happen in the real world, but it's still icky.
