Biography:
Dimitri's parents are of high society, and arrived in England from Eastern Europe. His father comes from a long line of Vampires. In fact, there is talk that he is related to some of the very first vampires from the Carpathian Mountains. Whether this is true or just a rumor based on his race and appearance is hard to say. However, this rumor is prevalent in his social circles. This, of course, can be said to be largely due to his foreign origin. When people find someone or something mysterious and foreign, their imagination starts running wild. Soon, they cook up tales and stories about such people from the foreign parts.
Dimitri’s mother is a Dhampir, turned by her husband himself. It is said that she was a human maiden of such singular beauty that the vampire was love-stricken. However, he was aware that such love is unsustainable for he has the gift of a long life and not her. Thus, he deemed it best too turn her into a vampire like him. The maiden, on her part, was in love with the vampire as well. She consented to become like him in secret. On that fateful night, however, the Turning didn’t work like they expected. She didn’t turn completely, but became a creature of both the night and the day, both human and vampire, both dead and alive.
However, they loved each other dearly, and this was no problem for them. The problem came from her husband’s vampire family side, who resented having a Dhampir as a relation. To them, a Dhampir had a lower standing compared to themselves. Her husband, however, in a fit of rage and rebellion, decided to leave his family and the country, and to settle somewhere else to start a new life. The maiden’s family either already took her for dead or have stopped seeing her out of fear.
Their position in British society after their immigrated, improved greatly. Dimitri's father started his own chain of bookshops, which steadily grew quite popular over the years. One of the reasons for that is the shop kept a nice collection of volumes about both the Magical and Muggle worlds.
As for Dimitri's mother, she is a beautiful, talented but retiring lady. However, she does go to society events like parties, dinners, soirees. She goes to these events of the Magical world in good faith. She has a saying, "Don't go too much, and don't go too less." What that means, in terms of society events, is that she is reluctant to go to each and every event so as not to be perceived as greedy for attention. At the same time though, she does not go so less so as to be forgotten and to be seen as a recluse. This was understood as applying for most things in life, especially when it comes to dealing with society.
It is true that they manage to keep their sanguinary cravings to a bare minimum, because they must. There are many things at stake, no pun intended. Both his parents have to deal with the perceived prejudices of their race, from Muggles, from the Wizarding folk, and from the Vampire community as well.
A couple of years after their marriage when they settled down in England, they gave birth to Dimitri. They feared complications since the mother was not Vampire herself, but a Turned One. They were overjoyed to know that the baby was healthy and devoid of any complications. Over the years, the boy grew up in a comfortable environment. His mother doted on him, and protected him from things like playing in the sunlight for more than a few moments. She was also on a constant lookout for a rising desire of blood in the child. They’d manage that with Blood Pops, of course.
Growing up, Dimitri had some problem adjusting with the fact that his friends could play in day time, while he could play outside only in the evening and during the night. This affected his social growth amongst his peer group somewhat, although he had friends among the children of his relatives, vampire and dhampir kids, and among the normal kids from the Wizarding community.
Growing up, he became a quiet and collected child, choosing to stand back and watch things unfold and then act rather than charging in to sort things out first. He was also shy and helpful in nature, although there were times when he unknowingly scared kids of his playgroup when he tried to help. Maybe they already heard from their parents what he was.
First Instance of Magic:
This happened when he was 5 years old. On day his nanny and he were crossing a busy road on the way to a local Zoo in England. Dimitri was super excited to see the animals again, especially the cute little birds. In his excitement, he was almost dragging forward his nanny. Suddenly a car came speeding forward from a distance. In a panic, the nanny tried waving her hand to signal the driver frantically. The drunk driver swerved off in time to avoid the woman, but made a beeline for the young boy.
The wide-eyed boy stared at the oncoming car, his eyes wide, for he too was scared from the loud sights and sounds. However when he tried running away to a side, he explicably gained extraordinary speed and managed to reach the sidewalk in the nick of time. He was flabbergasted, as was her nanny, but she was primarily glad he was safe.
His parents were glad their son was safe, and understood what happened to be the first instance of magic. They were happy and overjoyed. As for Dimitri himself, he still felt a bit afraid when he remembered the situation: loud shouts, a chill in the wind, and an oncoming car. That left a bad memory in him, but certainly not a trauma.
