Marvin Howle -| First Year |- Hufflepuff

The first thing you'd notice about them is their nose, slightly pointy, like a gradual slope. Their brown hair is known to grow fast, so the usual length they have is just past the collarbones. They don't bother to style it properly, so it falls into messy curls. You'll catch their brown eyes staring off into nothing, probably daydreaming about a book they read, or the next activity they see themselves doing.

The type of person you would see wandering around with a book in their hand. Are they going to read it? Really depends on how they're feeling. They enjoy work if it requires learning something new, but deem it boring if it's overly repetitive. They seek new opportunities and experiences, and like helping around if they can find time in their schedule.

Marvin is the middle child of four siblings. They were born on April 23, 2014, in Plymouth, England, where they spent their childhood years.

Their eldest siblings are boy-girl twins, Elaine and Vince, both born June 3, 2005, and have long graduated from Hogwarts. Their second-youngest, a girl named Adelynn, was born on December 9, 2019. And their youngest, a boy named Beau, was born on March 29, 2024, who has many years ahead of him until Hogwarts.

Marvin's parents are extremely busy, which is why every child they have is born so far apart. They don't have time to settle down for a couple of years and have kids; they have to plan around when they can be free. Marvin's mom, Edyth Howle (i. e. Ferlet), works as an Auror, and Marvin's other mom, Myrle Howle, works as a Curse-Breaker. They usually have kids through some magical supplements.

With the absence of their parents in the house, the kids are used to being solitary, and rely on themselves. There has been a nanny ever since the twins moved out, but she comes and goes when needed and is barely seen around the house otherwise when playing with Beau. Marvin has never minded how their family is, and their parents make the most of it when they are home for a week, or weekend.

With a built-in library in their house, reading had become a common hobby between all siblings, and they bonded most when talking about stories they’ve read or want to create. Their first instance of magic was during a reading night, the week their parents were home from work. Marvin was around seven, and got so absorbed in their book that their magic manifested like a Howler and blurted out everything they had been reading. That’s one of their most fond moments with their parents as they laughed so hard at it, but for Marvin’s siblings, they teased them till the ends of the earth about it.

Their first instance of magic is something they usually keep to themselves out of embarrassment, so if asked, they would avoid the question until you were closer friends. It happened around the age of seven when their parents were home for the week and decided to have a reading night. Whilst reading, Marvin got so absorbed in their story that their magic manifested like a Howler and blurted out everything in their chapter. Their parents found it awfully hilarious, but their older siblings teased them and called them 'Howler' for years.
