Physical Description: Jeremy is just a tad below average height, and a bit scrawny, with messy dark hair.

Mental Description: Jeremy is a curious boy who loves to read. While he keeps to himself often, he is introverted but not shy. He's happy to talk a lot about the areas he's interested in. Unfortunately he likes to talk more than he likes to listen, unless he's learning. He absolutely loves to learn new things.

Jeremy has a strong sense of right and wrong, but also tends to rationalize his own actions (it's not wrong if HE does it). He can be a bit judgy when he thinks people aren't acting the way he would like them to act. He can be a bit stubborn, and usually thinks that he's right.

Biography: Jeremy grew up in a loving family with his mother, his father, and his older sister. His mother was a healer. His father specialized in rare potions ingredients, and seemed to have a number of clients (How rare these ingredients were, Jeremy didn't know, but they sure seemed to have a lot of money). Jeremy suspected some of these ingredients were of questionable legality, but his father, a smiling and affable man, sure made it all seem reasonable.

While Jeremy didn't want for material things, he felt a bit isolated nonetheless, far different in temperament from the rest of his family. His sister was seven years older than he was, and spent most of the year at Hogwarts. When she was home, they had little in common. Both of Jeremy's parents and his older sister were athletes (His mother and father met on the Slytherin Quidditch team in fact). Jeremy on the other hand, much preferred the indoors to anything you could do outside. Jeremy's parents and sister were all extroverts, loving to talk and get to know strangers. Jeremy preferred his own space. Though he never really fit in with his parents, they loved him deeply. His relationship with his sister is a bit rockier. He tends to get frustrated with her teasing, and her brash personality.

Growing up in Burford near his grandparents house (on his father's side), Jeremy spent a lot of time with his grandmother and grandfather. They home-schooled him in fact, in his early years, when his parents were busy with work. His grandfather was a muggle, and through him, Jeremy learned about the muggle world. Through his grandmother, he learned a lot about potions - she had taught his dad about them after all. Unfortunately, Jeremy's grandfather passed away shortly after Jeremy's 7th birthday, but he still has fond memories of those times together. After age 9, as his grandmother grew older, Jeremy shifted to a local magical prep school, close to home but remote enough to not be seen by muggles. Jeremy did well there, but didn't really make many friends.

Jeremy started reading at a young age, and once he started he couldn't stop. He is often found with a book in his hand, loving to learn about all things, reading fiction or nonfiction alike. As the time to go to Hogwarts came soon, Jeremy began devouring his older sister's textbooks. She had just graduated Hogwarts, and he argued that she didn't need them anymore. He wanted to learn all he could before he started school.

First Instance of Magic: When Jeremy was 7, he was arguing fiercely with his older sister. After a screaming match, she walked out of Jeremy's room and slammed the door. Jeremy clenched his fist and glared in frustration. Then, to his shock and surprise, a book flew off the shelf and slammed into the door just as forcefully. Thrilled, he rushed out of the room to tell her about it, their fight quickly forgotten.
