Anthony Esposito | Gryffindor | First year

History/Background Story: Anthony is a half-blood, the only one child from his family, his Italian dad is a muggleborn and his British mother a pure-blood; the ones met in Italy and married there and soon moved to Bedford, England where they grow his son. Anthony's parents were passing on him the traditional Italian values, in particular the importance of the family and of the respect. Since he was a kid he has developed a passion for card games, the Neapolitan and French ones and he was used to bring a deck of both with him in his bag. He was sent to school even if the parents struggled financially for giving him the best school education. He always reasoned with his own mind and didn't stand under the imposed rules and teachers always told this to his parents from the kindergarten, he needs to work on that aspect. His parents wanted to wait for sharing to his son the truth about the wizarding story of the mother's bloodline, but as they soon expected his convocation to Hogwarts, they thought the best was let him know the magician power he has in the DNA and how to control it. He was excited about discovering the story. A windy evening an owl posed on the balcuny with a letter: it was the invitation from the wizarding school. The family helped him preparing a suitcase and went shopping the necessary before escorting Anthony to the station and greeting him.

First instance of magic: When he was a kid, a sunny day, he got punished for not doing homework at school by his parents and they didn't let him leave the house, so he had to recover what he didn't do as punishment. It was early in the afternoon, his parents went shopping, he was impatient and didn't accept the whole situation and a strange phenomenon occurred meanwhile he was complaining about doing his homework: Anthony's desk started trembling and the book he had in front of him started lievitating until it started burning and became ashes.
