Graham Caddel { First Year } Gryffindor
Full Name: Graham (Grey) Thaddeus Caddel
House: Gryffindor
Age: 11
Wand: 32,9 cm chestnut wood and unicorn hair
School Year: First
Patronus: (Not applicable until 6th years)
Species: Human
History/Background Story: Though Graham is wizard-born, his parents were not. Both happy with their muggle-born lives, they did their very best to give their children a “normal” life on their village smallholding in Scotland. The uses of magic in the home were there, but there was still plenty of manual labour around the farm done the “old fashioned way” to teach the pleasures of honest hard work. Unlike his older brother, Grey never had the build or mind for such things. He would do as he was asked, muck out the horse stall, or help with the weeding, but as soon as he had finished he would be off running through the village or out exploring the woods. Rainy days were spent huddled indoors around the kitchen table along with his brother (before he went off to Hogwarts) and twin younger sisters as their mother would homeschool them.
As soon as Graham learned at the age of six that magic set his family apart from many of the other folks in the village, he became absolutely transfixed by it. It was something special that his friends didn’t have. Sure, they had the latest gaming system and he didn’t, but he had magic. Or at least, his parents did. Much to the concern of his parents, it became commonplace for him to ask strangers wearing large overcoats or big floppy hats what magic is their specialty, and the name of their house elf. Most turned out to be Muggles of course, and had no idea what he was talking about, but his curiosity to know and learn was happy to take the chance.
Grey’s brother went to Hogwarts when Grey was eight, and that sealed the deal. It was all Grey would talk about, and when his brother came home, he suddenly was around for farm chores more often, for no other reason than to have a chance of hearing more about Hogwarts and learning magic. When the day came that Graham would go to the school himself, he was all to eager to leave his family and muggle friends behind, excited for what could possibly be in store.
