--------

Pretty boys have a way of getting under your skin and into your head.

---------

Theophilus looks just how you’d imagine a pureblooded boy from his background. He has the blond hair, the light-colored eyes, the tallness, and the pointy nose. Though he wasn’t perfect. Theophilus had dark blond curls, never held for long by the gel his mother tried to tame them with. His eyes, though light, weren’t the pretty blue that most hoped their pretty pureblooded heirs got; no his were a sea green, as swampy as they could get without being called black. He was tall for his age, whether it be through genetics or spite, he was at a solid 5 '0 at 12, and his lanky stature made it very apparent that this was a development his stomach couldn’t keep up with.

Leading up to Hogwarts:

The story of Theophilus Cornelius Castellano starts many generations before his existence. His father, Cornelius Castellano, was the eldest of four sons born to Joseph and Agatha Castellano; he was born only 5 years before the second wizarding war started to parents who were born and lived a majority of their lives in the first one. Joseph led his family to be neutral in the world’s issues, hiding behind his pureblood name and money to skirt by the war just fine for many years. It wasn’t until his untimely death from a random killing that things for the family started to change.

Being the eldest, Cornelius would have been the heir for his family once he was of age, but for the first couple years after his father’s death, Agatha took over. She thrusted them into the spotlight in the efforts to clean up after the war, with charities and donations and galas springing up around her. She networked as Lady Castellano, not the pureblood widow she was.

Soon though, things started to get messy for the family, with money being a problem for the first time Agatha ever had to deal with, from then on the family was very close to many people on either side of the war's outcome.

Cornelius took over as the Castellano heir under his mother’s guidance, letting her plan every party, appearance, and meeting Cornelius showed up at. It wasn’t until the death of his youngest brother Elliot that things started to seem like they weren’t so perfect under his mother’s guidance. Cornelius and his remaining brothers, Zachery and Conrad, started to notice how many of the donations from their mother’s many charities never really went all in on the things they were fundraising for. The orphanages for misplaced muggleborns never did get all the money donated; just as the money raised for finding the reason Squibs are born into magical families never really made it all the way there.

Cornelius figured he would wait longer before saying anything to his mother, not wanting to embarrass her if she was only doing good for the family. That was until Conrad found the potions; vials upon vials of potions that were dark in his mother’s sitting room, hidden there. He had told his brothers that he thinks his mother is doing more than just putting some galleons in their vaults that were not for them. He wanted them to look for more things in their childhood home, something to tie back to their mother; for Conrad had married young and his bride was already in the home.

The brothers looked but couldn’t find anything. Soon the other two were married; Zachary to Rebekah, and Cornelius to Rostislava. They all stayed in the family home, much to their mother’s delight. Soon, babies filled the halls. Conrad having twins Freya and Sienna just months before Theophilus was conceived himself. Rostislava would sit with Agatha for hours learning English during her pregnancy, the other two women meeting up to watch the twins while they did.

It was in January of 2013 when news of Zacherys death hit the papers, alongside Conrad’s arrest. Multiple dark potions on his person as the Aurors took him away, the man in a state of shock that didn’t allow him to speak as the med-wizards tried to save his brother from a dark spell, but not being able to.

It didn’t take long for Zachery’s widow to move back to her parents home. Novalie, Conrad’s wife, soon left, too, though her whereabouts were lost in time. Theophilus was born in a rather empty house, never knowing the aunts or cousins he could have grown up with.

Living at his grandmother’s wasn’t so bad for the baby; his grandmother was loving, often singing to him and watching him as she worked in her sitting room. Cornelius mourned his brothers, both the fact he was never to see them again, and Zachery’s life completely. He didn’t believe Conrad could do such a thing; but what proof did he have for the opposite?

A year passed for them easily, Theophilus getting used to crawling then running through the halls of the Castellano Manor, as his mother grew bigger with his sister. The move from the manor was quick, only a couple of days between Theophilus resting in his antique crib then walking into his room in the middle of Russians wizarding world. The world will never know what caused Cornelius to move his family so urgently. However, Cornelius thought he could keep Theophilus from ever knowing the lady who sung him to sleep, so maybe one day it will be revealed.

Florence, Theophilus’ first sibling and younger sister was born soon after they moved into the new home. The years passed peacefully, Theophilus learning from his father only bits and pieces of Britain, most of their days passed with lessons on spell theory instead of wizarding politics. Just like Cornelius, the young boy did learn about how pureblood needed to behave, but more so, he learned his manners, not the harsh lessons of what was demanded of him like Cornelius grew with.
Years at their Russian home were spent in peace and comfort. After Florance’s birth in 2014, came Marilyn and Majorie in 2019, then little baby at the beginning of 2024. The kids started going to school when they got to the age of 4. Cornelius and Theophilus both seemed excited for the younger to get to the magical studies available to eleven year olds. So many nights leading to that day were spent with the boy talking both his father’s and mother’s ear off about all the possibilities opening up to him soon.

He never did start his magical training at Koldovstoretz, as before his birthday his life changed forever. His father soon was imprisoned at the same prison as his brother, only not for murder like the others. His father was charged with 4 cases of use of dark magic to cause harm, 2 cases of distribution of dark artifacts to cause harm; and a sentence of 40 years. That day is still a fog to Theophilus, as his brain couldn’t make sense of the fact the man who would make pancakes in the shape of animals, even if they weren’t the best, was the man that was pulled out of their home that day.

Again, the family moved, back into the manor they left over a decade before, this time more children than adults making the journey. At the end of 2024, they made it to the manor, Agatha welcomed them back happily, almost a little smug at the return of her family. The time between their return and Theophilus' first year at Hogwarts was spent with hours of the eldest child’s time in the sitting room he once rested in as a babe.

His grandmother taught the boy many things, mostly her version of the wizarding world he was moving into. Agatha had had a decade to make herself look good in the pureblood eyes that looked upon her, through the use of her organizations; most notably, the Witches for a Better Britain. The pureblood ladies in the group led fundraisers, held galas, and started charities; Agatha the leading lady for them all. Theophilus learned alot about them and the many more pureblood families in the days leading up to his first year.

On September first of 2025, the young Castellano stepped on the Hogwarts express, and finally took over writing his story.

Family

—————————————— Rostislava Castellano nee Raskolnikov The youngest of 5 daughters that the Russian pureblood family had, Rostislava married below her grade. She was betrothed to her husband for years before she met him, mostly because of the distance between them. Even though they were contracted to marry, she did love him. He made her laugh and he was a good provider, so smart in his own right.	—————————————— [fc: Sarah Gadon]
[fc: Harry Goodwins]	Cornelius Castellano The eldest of 4 children, Cornelius was born into a Pureblood family known for being neutral when it mattered the most. The Castellanos' reputation was in pieces when the last wizarding war ended. Since then, most marriages in the family have been more business agreements than real love. He was used to putting the power his family held over his family, and look where it ended him. . .
Agatha Castellano nee Langston The eldest Castellano left to take care of the family, Agatha was the one who had to pull strings to make sure everything came in line. Her husband dead, and sons doing no good to help their image, she knew she had to have her sole Grandson close by to teach him how to fix their family name. Nobody would ever know the lengths she would go to fix the Castellano name.	[fc: Michelle Gomez]
[fc: Willow Shields]	Florence Castellano The eldest girl born to Rostislava and Cornelius, Florence was also being pushed to take up the responsibilities of a Pureblood blood line. She was the closest with her brother, and didn't know how to handle her dad leaving, and then her brother going away to school. She'd miss him.

Mental Behaviour

Being the heir to a pureblooded family imposes certain responsibilities on a boy. As such, Theophilus’ social development is impacted by the duties he knows he will one day have. He is a quiet boy but is quick to jump in if he thinks it is worth being in a conversation.

Theophilus likes to read, though he values the word of non-fiction more than anything, as he believes knowledge is one of the best things to have as he gets old; the more you know the more you have things on your arsenal of conversation.

He is the only boy and the eldest child in his family, so a lot of the responsibilities fell on him when his father was arrested, so he doesn't really have childish moments anymore. Instead, his family, especially his paternal grandmother, have pushed him into looking at the next steps of his life; his reputation, maintaining the fortunes he will inherit, and marrying pure blood.

Forcing a child into adult pursuits is one of the subtlest varieties of soul murder. - Sam Vaknin

Physical Behaviour

Theophilus is not quick to express anger, rather he would take any amount of verbal abuse needed to put the other at ease, so when he does fight back, it is a surprise that will be more damaging than mere words. The boy was one who could sit and talk for hours about subjects that piqued his interest and could read for hours if a book struck his fancy.

Even as a young child, Theo would sneak off to ride his broom, usually held down by the bulk of coats and such that would protect him from the winters in Russia. He was willing to take things if he felt like they were better used by him, and he had a habit of swiping things from new people he met. A token of their meeting.
