Biography: Alexander's homelife prior to Hogwarts was rather normal, all things considered. His mother was a historian, always deep in her research. His father was in the Royal Air Force. Due to his father's occupation, Alexander and his family moved often. Never staying in one spot for too long, contributed to Alexander's reserved nature. While at home, he would inquire about his mother's studies and what interesting things his father was doing in the service. Occasionally Alexander would go out and play with what friends he had in the neighborhood. Unbeknownst to him or his parents, there was a magical world just out of sight that they would soon become engulfed in.

First Instance of Magic: Alexander's first instance of magic came about when he was around eight years old. Alexander and his family were spending their vacation on the beach. Alexander loved swimming and at this point, he had spent hours in the water. As he stepped out of the water to head home, he noticed something peculiar. He was completely dry. Had the wind completely dried him off? No. There was no way the wind could have done that. There wasn't any wind recently anyway. He pondered the situation during his ride back to the hotel but it faded from his thoughts as his family sat down for dinner. It was at that point that Alexander's first instance of magic had gone unnoticed by himself and his parents
