Physical Description: Andrew has brown hair, light brown eyes and an athletic build. He has a bowl haircut but plans to grow it out. (It looks ridiculous)

Mental Description:

(+) Loyal: Andrew is a very loyal young man. Once you manage to enter his (easy approachable) heart he will never let you down. He is an honest (sometimes a little too honest) person with good spirit and gains great strength if he has to fight for his friends. He will never intentionally betray you.

(+) Optimistic: Andrew is very optimistic. He claims that optimism works as a charm. Whenever something bad happens he remains positive while trying to find clever solutions. His humor and optimism keeps him from crumbling whenever he’s down. After all, he has been through a lot - like everyone else.

(+/-) Joker: This personal trait can be seen as either good or bad. Andrew has a great sense of humor and loves to joke around. He’s a huge fan of the former Weasley products and nearly always manages to brighten the mood. His great sense of humor made him quite a charmer, even though he can be a little daft.

(-) Awkward: Andrew has bad situation humor. Since he’s a real joker he tends to use his humor to wiggle himself out of awkward situations. This, however, causes him to seem a little unsympathetic sometimes. He’s always not the best person to have serious conversations with. This makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

(-) Messy: Messy Andy is his nickname. He is the type of guy to leave his socks laying around in the Common room and eight out of ten times he (finally) made his homework he’d either ruin or lose it. He’s also not the best in controlling his emotions - no matter his optimism.

(-) Easily distracted: This guy definitely needs a chill pill sometimes. He has great difficulties with concentrating and tends to talk to himself. Some even thing he’s a nutter. Having Andrew on your team during potion class could be quite disappointing.

Biography:

Andrew grew up close to Dumgoyne. A hill prominent on the edge of the Campsie Fells and is a well-known landmark visible from Glasgow. Although this place is often cramped with tourists, only a handful of muggles ever managed to find their place. It’s a fairly small farmers' cottage and looks very normal - one of the reasons why it never caught many people’s eye. Though Andrew is currently often resident at The Ground Hound Inn, he still visits regularly. His father owns the land and still lives there, though he’s rarely ever home. Instead Andrew's aunt Hester takes care of the place. She is Andrew's godmother

Andrew’s favorite place is definitely The Ground hound Inn. When he was very young of age his father and female owner Barbara used to be in a relationship together. Though this lasted only a couple of years (they broke up because his father refused to switch jobs, so they say) Andrew grew incredibly close to Barbara. He sees her as a mother figure.

His mother died young due to illness. His father is often away, working for the Ministry at the Department of Magical Transportation. He is off and about, all over the world, making sure the Floo Network Authority manages to do their job. Madam Wilson (Barbara) is like a mother-figure to him and allows him to stay at The Ground Hound pub (located in Glasgow) - free of charge. Andrew is unsure about the current relationship between his father and Madam Wilson, yet wouldn’t mind if the two of them had something going on. In fact he highly encourages it. Though his father claims a relationship wouldn’t do because of his work, Andrew thinks the real reason is because his father couldn’t betray her mother. No matter the fact that she deceased long ago.

Andrew’s mother got ill when he was just a little boy. She was infected by dragon pox and refused any treatment. Therefore she died only a couple of months after.

First Instance of Magic:

Andrew’s father has the habit of bringing back firecrackers after he’s been abroad for his jobs. As soon as he returns from his task they come together and drink chocolate milk as they light the firecrackers. This started off when Andrew was only four years old. His father told him his mother was always watching over him. He claimed lighting firecrackers was a way of letting her know they were still thinking about her.

Near the age of eleven, Andrew lit the firecrackers by mistake without using any tool. He got so excited, they just caught fire! This was very dangerous and his first own magical experience. Luckily all went well.
