History
Reducio
Early Childhood
Evandrus was born in Exeter, England on November 11, 2011—an only child to Ambroise and Eva Droit (née Wyndham), a Muggle-born wizard and a wizard-born witch. Their family was well off—having invested in stocks—and travelled for business, being event planners. Due to his parents’ travels, business brought them to Canada, where he spent his early childhood in Toronto, his dad’s former residence. As such, he picked up some Quebec French from his paternal uncles—all of whom were Muggles (and were aware of the wizarding world to some degree). During his stay, taken in charge by a wizard-born nanny, his regular schedule consisted of private tutoring at home as well as occasional socializing at children’s workshops. Despite having been exposed to his parents’ magic early on, he was much more fascinated by how Muggles worked. It was then that he was introduced to board games by his uncles, and he developed a keen interest in Muggle chess. To ensure that he received a balanced exposure to the wizarding and Muggle world, his mom bought a Wizard’s Chess set, setting him off on a newfound adventure.
Pre-Hogwarts
Evandrus returned to Exeter at seven years old, where he continued to receive private tutoring at home. It was at this period when he found himself in a crossfire between his parents, who began to argue over his upbringing. His mom became overprotective, caused by paranoia, since his first instance of magic—preferring that he kept to himself, even if it meant cutting off any external influence. His dad disagreed, considering that there was an agreement to raise him in equal exposure—yet was a pushover, which didn’t do anyone a favour. Because of the tension at home, he would sneak out and visit the local library—where he found out about the underground Wizard’s Chess Club. Against better judgment, he joined. Whenever his parents were away, he participated in competitions—even convincing his nanny to take him—and befriended most of the competitors. His parents discovered from their social circle that he had been “sneaking out under their noses,” causing his nanny to be dismissed. He considered his acceptance letter as a “ticket to freedom,” and was determined to become unreachable from his parents’ influence.
F.I.O.M
Reducio
Evandrus’ first instance of accidental, wandless magic happened when he had just returned to Exeter. He was experiencing a nightmare on the first night, and was awakened by a deafening noise of his things—books on shelves, pencils on desk, toys in cabinet—each crashing down on the floor. This only heightened his fear, making it worse as cracks appeared on the walls. Luckily, his parents were there to calm him down.
