| Bio: | CHARACTER NAME: Graham Pritchard PB CHOICE: Tom Schilling DATE OF BIRTH: 21 November, 1982. PLACE OF BIRTH/CURRENT RESIDENCE: London/London OWL AND/OR PETS: None. HOUSE: Slytherin YEAR: Fourth DE, OOTP, NEUTRAL, UNDECIDED: Undecided. He reasons he's only fourteen so what does it matter. Neutral might be considered best at the moment, but he could be swayed either way. FAMILY: Graham was born as the illegitimate son of Gwen Pritchard (a Welsh pureblood) and Lukas Ackermann (a German Muggle on holiday) resulting from a one night stand. As far as Graham is concerned, his dad is dead. And as far as Gwen's parents are concerned, so is she. The two live with Gwen's latest boyfriend in a flat in Muggle London, though Graham has told no one. Currently, Gwen has been dating this Muggle for one year and three months, leading him to believe Graham attends some prestigious boarding school in Scotland. HISTORY: The caustic substances that created Graham--the eschar on the Pritchard family skin--were Gwen Pritchard and Lukas Ackermann after an experiment that never should have happened. The substance Gwen--a Pureblooded witch from an old, Welsh family--mixed with the substance Lukas--a German Muggle from a long line of German Muggles--in the common labratory of a London pub, alcohol working as the catalyst. In the combustion reaction of casual sex, the bane of the Pritchard family was created. The molecules of the Pritchard family shunned Gwen and her product, Graham. He was an experiment gone wrong, one that should never have been allowed to be produced in the first place. The covalent bond that connected the two with the rest of the molecules severed, and they were left to float aimlessly from one electron bond to another until finally they found themselves attracted to a rather stationary place where they could call home. The series of complex chemical reactions known as Graham Pritchard evolved from that of a small ball of bouncing energy to a larger ball of bouncing energy. And with it came the distinct interaction of others within the species. As the smallest in the pack of social education, Graham was singled out numerously by the bigger. Though size proved nothing of might as, more often than not, Graham succeeded in not only showing his claws, but coming out on top in physical and mental confrontations of territory and status. The elders of the species did not approve, and Graham found himself ostracised from the herd. However, where some might sulk and whinge pathetically, Graham merely turned up his nose, formulated a plan, and returned to the group, tail between his legs in feigned remorse at his abysmal social skills. A most literally small fish in a decent sized pond, Graham found himelf at Hogwarts being herded into Slyhterin at the age of eleven with what he was told would be his equals. The only thing he thought most of them matched him or exceeded him in, though, were height. Still one of the runts of the litter, Graham observed the animalistic behaviours of those around him, recording this information in a private journal, possibly for later use. Survival of the fittest proved to be on his side as Graham survived to his fourth year on wits and the element of surprise. The dim-witted learned their place in his eye, and those he truly considered his equal or superior found him to be most pleasant to be around. And those he found to be a threat to his survival (or just plain too stupid to still be in existence), he stalked out, attempting to find the hole of weakness and rip it open until they burst. (Most of those are still being worked on, his patience never wearing for a moment.) Social yet not entirely, Graham found himself mixing with the different clans within his House while being able to stay contently on the outside, taking note of everything to later evaluate in an attempt to discover what would be valuable for later endevours and conquests. Humouring his inferiors, he's gone so far as to establish relationships with them, though anything but shallow necessities they were not. A few, however, he's actually placed in friend status, though only until they no longer serve a purpose to him. To watch such specimens compete in the Triwizard Tournament was indeed an interesting spectacle, especially when the Golden Boy of Yore began the fourth chosen to compete. What wiles did he use to acheive such a placement? Did it really matter? Oh, but it did when he returned with a dead Badger, and Graham had to wonder if it were a set-up, why it wouldn't have worked. Ill timing perhaps? Who would really know... Another fight within the species, but that didn't seem to bother Graham. If what he'd been told his first year were true--the Dark Lord has returned--then wasn't that expected? It was the only natural course that their be more clashes between the wanna-be alpha males. It really only made sense, and he hoped one of them would kill the other soon. He was old. He was weak. Those were Graham's views of the death of the king of the Hogwarts pride. The man was not immortal. Eventually, everyone would die. But he did not voice such thoughts. He played along, attending the funeral of deceased, wondering who would win in the next sort of confrontation between He Who Must Not Be Named and The Boy Whose Name He Couldn't Care Less About. DESCRIPTION: Graham is an extremely patient person despite his age. He is determined and won't give up until the task at hand is completed. This, fourtunately, extends to his school work (one of his best subjects being Defence Against the Dark Arts. Another is Transfiguration).He is charismatic and seems the perfect little gentleman with a natural curiosity for everything around him coupled with a vivid, over-active imagination. He has a strong willpower and isn't afraid to act on his thoughts. He almost always tends to think before he acts, however, and usually has a "plan of attack." Vindictive, jealous, and easily hurt, Graham has little to no remorse in using anything--even people--to get what he wants with an imagination and an ability to act to boot. He has a wicked sense of humour paired as well as a complete disregard to the personal or emotional safety of others. Once ignorance has been proven in others, he has a low tolerance for it in the company he keeps. He is selfish, doesn't understand the word "moderation," and is currently denying his hormones exist. (He's poor at Astronomy in relation to the his school subjects.) Graham is highly allergic to pumpkins. He discovered this around the age of three when one of his mum's boyfriends's mothers served pumpkin pie for desert one day. However, no one outside of his mum and whomever they're living with knows he is allergic to pumpkins. The most anyone knows is he has a food or drink allergy, and they might only know this because he experienced an anaphylactic shock from exposure one night during dinner in his second year. REASON FOR RETURNING TO HOGWARTS: In all honesty, Graham has nothing else to do. It's either that, or sit around at home all day, and neither he nor his mother wants that. And to explain to her boyfriend that his school closed unexpectedly or anything else of that nature would cause too much suspicion. There'd be talks of enrolling him in a closer school, getting the records to transfer, but it'd be too hard to convert them from wizarding to Muggle terms, and Gwen's not about to send her son off to another wizarding school. So, instead, both he and his mum agreed that going back would be best. Plus, for all the hell that happened there in such a short time, he and his mum both secretly think it's still one of the safest places to be.
