History/Background Story

Reducio

Alexander is a clever young boy with lots of potentials. He is energetic and loves to try new things which sometimes causes him to get into trouble. Alexander is quite easily embarrassed and can be always trusted to give a truthful response. He has a strong sense of morality and loyalty and always tries to do the right thing.

He's a very honest kid and hates to lie unless necessary. Alex enjoys spending time with friends and family, spending time cooking with his mom, and watching the adults play cards.

Alex was born to his mother and father Amelia and James Ashworth on August, 3rd, 2010. For the first three years of his life, he was raised in Muggle London they would go back and forth to Nettlestone England for birthdays, events, and holidays where the rest of James' family reside. He and his parents moved to Nettlestone, England when he was 3 years old shortly after the passing of his grandfather Thomas Ashworth. They moved to Nettlestone to be closer with his grandmother who still felt the raw pains of the loss. Alex is the youngest in the family except for his aunt's new baby on the way.

The family moved right next door to his grandmother's house so they could be closer. Alex grew up in a two-story house with an attic and a basement. It wasn't anything luxurious but also not too humble. There was an attic that Alexander used to play in with his family. The attic is filled with some old junk from his parent's days at Hogwarts. He enjoyed looking at his mother's and father's old robes and books every so often on weekends. His mother worked for the Body for Protection of Magical Species and his father works for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement or MACUSA. Both of Alexander's parents went to Hogwarts in their younger years and were very excited when he got his letter. His mother was a kind Hufflepuff while his father was a proud Gryffindor.

Alexander grew up in a tight-knit family and has a lot of morality. His childhood was a rather happy one since he always had someone around to take care of him. His mother tutored him for a short time before his parents hired a tutor with that he wasn't really close with. Alexander was taught the basics like math, reading, writing, etc. He was very close with his cousin Annabell who visits every week and his grandmother. Annabell is a half-blood who was born to his father's brother Adam and a muggle named Anne she and Alex are around the same age. Alex was very close with his grandmother who always smelled like cinnamon. They usually spend the afternoon at her house playing muggle games that pique their interest in the parlor.

In the current day, Alex is closer to his mother than to his father. His father isn't always there at key points of his life such as birthdays and accomplishments. James isn't always around because of his job and he and his wife have been growing distant.
When Alexander was 7 he was sent to his room for getting breaking a vase. While tossing a ball around, it hit the wall and bounced into the vase, causing it to knock over. His mother being annoyed and upset sent Alexander to his room to think about what he had done.

Being upset and still, young Alexander decided to sneak out to his grandmother's house which was right next door. Opening the window he carefully crawled onto the branch of an old Oak tree that was in between the two houses. While still pretty high up he lost his footing and fell. When he landed he had no injury's but he did get a scolding from his mother who was angry but relieved.
