YOU TREAT ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER
stranger, well its nice to meet you sir. i guess i'll go.[/color][/font][/center]
[/blockquote][/blockquote]"what's up, man? i'm collin and i don't see why this is mandatory. anway, my name is collin- collin james welsh. i am sixteen and a fifth year, unfortunately. ravenclaw is my house, even though in my opinion there wasn't much logic in the hat's decision to place me there. it's obvious that i'm clever and quick-witted, but i honestly think my house is full of obnoxious smart kids. i prefer to mingle with students from all four houses instead of sticking within my house like some people do. most of my friends are either on the quidditch team or from another house; i'm content with this.
my mum thinks i should branch out more, but i consider myself branched. i don't think my mother really knows exactly how things are for me. my mom, teri, is a muggleborn witch and a former hufflepuff. she had few friends and her only ones were her roommates (when i can't stand mine). when she was in hogwarts, she wasn't well liked because of her blood and also she was alittlevery eccentric. she is obsessed with peace and tranquility. she was so determined that everyone was really good at heart that she ignored all of the voldemort stories back in the day. this is why she didn't see that my father wasn't the best person in the world to be involved with. my dad was fresh out of hogwarts when he met my mum. he was eighteen; she was twenty-six. she was working in diagon alley and he developed a little crush on her after a trip to meet up with other death eathers in knockturn alley. not long after i was born did he get killed doing something stupidly evil. he is not a topic brought up in my house. my step-father, paul, doesn't like it too much when a reference to him is made. he doesn't want my little sister, abigail, to know that he mommy was once an idiot and hung around bad people. i think they should stop sheltering the damn kid.
more about me! oh, my date of birthhh is april twenty-ninth nineteen ninety-six. i was born, raised, still living, and probably will continue to live in edinburgh, scotland. scotland is a beautiful country and all, but i would much rather live somewhere with more excitement. fast paced lifestyles interest me and i long for one. everything with me seems so dull. i don't come from a mega rich family so i can't just spontaneously buy a yacht or a solid gold airplane. to keep myself from being too bored at school, i throw myself into quidditch and working on my skills. i love the sport and anything quidditch related, and i believe that i have a real talent for it. hopefully, after hogwarts i can find something in that field of work - like a professional player or a coach.
school work bores me. i get bored easily, i guess. which is why i entertain myself with studying everyone instead of the material for my classes. defense against the dark arts is probably the only subject that mildly interests me. i only do my assignments so that my mum doesn't eat my face or something like that for not applying myself. i'm a carefree person, really. i don't take too many things seriously except for quidditch and my friends. pretty much anything else i couldn't give a shit about. unfortunately, since i'm a fifth year now i have OWLs to study for so i can't slack off as much as i am used to. it's a little sad to think about.
my wand is decent - aspen, dragon heartstring core, twelve inches, inflexible. i don't use it to do everything for myself. i know some wizards and witches are very dependent on their wands and magic, but i would do just fine as a muggle. then again, thank god i'm not."
ohhai, my name is KRIS and i'm SIXTEEN years old. i've been roleplaying for 3 YEARS because i'm that awesome. you can reach me at email, pm, msn. just in case you were wondering, the password is avada kedavra.check briseis's app.
