Elliot grew up in the small town of Kenmare, Ireland. Born and raised, it was all he knew until just recently when he got his letter from Hogwarts. His mother was a wizard, and his father was a muggle, but he was never taught anything about magic and the possibility of him having powers, so when a piece of mail came in under his name, it was a shock. Not many people lived in Kenmare, and to this day it's about the same number. But that means everyone knows everyone, and everything that happens might as well be shouted from a loudspeaker across the town square. Let's just say, covering up Elliot's departure to a wizarding school was less than easy. His parents sent back his letter first, and thought about keeping their secret later, just wanting their son to grow to the best of his potential. After months of contemplation, they decided on the perfect white lie: Boarding school. And they weren't completely lying- just for the most part. So September hit, Elliot's bags had been packed, and he was ready to be sent off. A heartfelt conversation about paying attention and staying with the right crowd later, he was running through 9 3/4 easily and making his way onto the train to start his new life as a young and powerful wizard.
