History/Background Story:
Born to a Danish father and an Irish mother both hailing from pure-blooded wizard families he has been brought up in a family with varying traditions in Ireland after his father emigrated to Ireland during the Celtic Tiger to settle down with his mother. His father is more traditional in his approach to magic, culture and family life, it was his father who was primarily responsible for his education while he was being homeschooled and with a particular emphasis on the traditional teachings and what some may consider more narrow-minded viewpoints and elements of study. His mother is quite a lot more progressive when it comes to upbringing and culture, which sometimes causes clashes between the family sides as his father wished for him to attend Durmstrang Institute instead of Hogwarts as he did, as he feels the school circularium offered at Durmstrang would be better suited to him as his father is under the opinion the circularium offered at Hogwarts is a lot more restricted and in his words "Does not prepare a person for the reality of the wizarding world." Which led to a fierce schism forming between the two sides of his family however ultimately the compromise was reached that Pádraig would attend Hogwarts and during holiday periods will spend time with his family in Denmark and be taught magic in a traditional manner by his father and relatives during this time, a further stipulation that was agreed was that he must prove that he is progressing and excelling at Hogwarts or he will be forced to change schools and attend Durmstrang Institute where the teaching methods are more disciplinary oriented for those students whom are not performing well in their studies. Having a family split between those favouring traditions and those who favours progression has let him to feel as if his family is torn between two factions and with the stipulations imposed on him for his stay in Hogwarts has caused him a lot of grief and instilled a feeling of pressure to perform well.


First Instance of Magic: Pádraig's first instance of magic occurred at the age of 6 during on of his father's lectures of the history of prominent Scandinavian wizards and witches as he imagined himself dearly to not be stuck inside listening to a boring lecture regarding the distinctive differences between those whom take up the trappings of Völva or Seiðr and those whom in fact were a wizard or witch, when suddenly the letters on the blackboard started dancing around on the board to an imaginary tune in his head, thinking first he was imagining things until a loud outburst was voiced by his father which caused the letters to return to their static still state once more. While he father was furious at his lack of decorum for disrupting the lecture in such crude manner he was still praised for his first instance of magic, which was then followed by an extra long lecture of the history of wandless magic and its use in the practice of Seidr.
