Benson Martin Belcourt | Second year | Ilvermorny
"" BACKSTORY A totaly acceptable warning before you dive in into Benson's backstory is that you really shouldn't prepare yourself for the most exciting and epic words with several plot-twists, that would be nothing more than a waste of your precious time. Hope I helped. Not erasing from our minds what I have previously said, his life was... a little interesting indeed. Besides that basic things that could get far more exciting, there are one or two things that passed by him that not all people witness. He was born in a mild morning in the very beggining of June, both of his parents being Canadian Purebloods. The second day of the month, actually. At nine past three in the morning. Where? In a muggle hospital somewhere in the middle of Quebec, where he resides since ever. Sadly, there were not only good news that morn. His parents were expecting twins, but only Benson made his way out. That was why Benson only got his name at the middle of the day, his parents softly disscussed if he was going to be either Benson or Lucas. I guess you know the answer, but it would be the other way around if the most tiny detail ocurred differently. Without straying from the topic, his parents actually had had three abortions and no children before him. Until the end of 2014, Benson was mentaly aware of simple habits and recognized around a dozen of faces, his paternal grandmother, mother and father being that he did it with more ease. The next year brought another member to the Belcourt family in the middle of May, Ava, his sister. They build a strong cute relationship over the years and when I say cute, I mean that funny and extremely cute type that comes out being rare among siblings. Benson was such a quick learner, after just a few years passed from his birth. Every week day, he and his sister spent their time at their maternal grandparents' house. They both were quite old for the average age of young children's grandparents, but that made sense because Benson's parents weren't properly young. Although being in their late 80's, Benny's maternal grandparents were fresh and surprised everyone for how active they were. Benny, Ava and them passed the best of the times with them, exploring and creating routine with "Meemaw" and finding out new horizons of knowledge of magic and Muggle world with "Big Papi". By passing this time with them, he managed to keep in mind some spells. Benson keeped in touch with the Muggle world. Not much the cultural and historical part, but he was involved in several Muggle fandoms. His parents bought his clothes and toys in Muggle shops and shoppings, with the goal of putting this idea in his mind "Muggles are people to. Culture is culture.". When he was one week from turning ten, he woke up happy, remembering what day it was. He passed through the staircase faster than his beloved Lucario. Her sister, normally emotionally strong, was sobbing on the sofa. His mother was desperate, crazy, looked mentally ill and his father was crying and hugging his wife. Big Papi had left their world. Whilst Benson suddently had flashbacks of occasions that he passed with his grandfather, dozens of tears appeared and fell of his eyes. His expression was frozen. He shouted. He continued shouting. He shouted and shouted and shouted, untill there was no breath left. Apparently, he died of natural causes, what was shocking, as he was as healthy as he could be. But what could Benny do? Whithout time to decide the answer, he copied his sister's behaviour, went straight towards the sofa. A week passed and he couldn't get out of bed. His feelings were all shaken. That wasn't only bad psicologically, but also delayed his learnings. His parents were shocked. Even his Mum had partially recovered! He started to read, to forget his loss. In the next week he had already finished twelve entire books plus one that he had already started previously. Before his grandfather's death, he read every night one hour and in random parts of the day, what was much and productive, but this was like a bomb to him. Even after recovering his habit stayed and the only thing he could think of was reading. Getting of the habit was one of his biggest struggles. The good part was that he returned to his normal routine right after, in his grand... mother's house. At the age of eleven, he knew he was recieving the letter. I mean, he isn't a conceited person, but he had prepared himself for all this years... it had to be for something! By this time, his parents thought that, as he was going to pass basically the next years without it and it was a helpful, so they invested in giving him a Muggle digital instrument called "computer". That way, he could try to pass few weeks understanding Muggle entertainment and humor. I won't lie, Benson enjoyed it much. He created an account in the most popular apps for people with his age his favorite "video game" (cool language that he got obssessed with) was named Pokemon Unite, his favourite "APP" was named Pinterest and his favourite "site" was called Picrew. Pokemon Unite is a video game from a famous saga, Pokemon, where cool monsters had to battle. Pinterest is an APP where he could save images or sites that he appreciated. He learned so much! And, finally, Picrew was a site where he personalised drawings of people and basically was guided by his aesthetic, what was the vibe that pleased his eyes the most. When he was changing his Pokemon Unite username to "LucarioTrain448" while listening to The Beatles, he heard a sound. It happened to come from the window, so he looked in that direction. By that time, he was almost like a Muggle in technology knowledge, so the window in question was decorated with a huge sticker imitating one from a game [Minecraft]. The white squares made the energetic tiny owl just partially visible, but anyone could understand what it was, and even better, WHY it was there. Finally! He didn't waste any time shouting or jumping, he just acted like the most nonchalant person just because yes [he kind of felt judged by the owl] and softly opened the said window, with his heart pumping like someone revived and his mind projecting cartoon explosions. He gently pat the owl, smiled and tried not to touch its paw while pulling the famous Ilvermorny envelope. His smile grew bigger. And bigger. Now that the cute little owl left, he looked like a maniac. One of his shouders rised and his ankle shoke. Then it was the other shoulder's turn. Could we call that dancing? Well, yeah, after his feet also moved. And this *cha-hum* short text is why Benson Belcourt is a student of a wizard school in Massachusetts, named the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. |
FIOM
Meemaw hadn't really create an unusual plan for that day, in the end of 2019's spring. But, remember, I'm not saying that Benson didn't like it or was fed up of doing so. Contrariwise, going to pick juicy strawberries was one of his favorite activities. Well, there was this mischievous little strawberry that Ben's adorable hand. He had to eat it, it seemed really mham-mham. New objective unblocked!
He looked at the strawberry. The strawberry looked at him, reflecting the strong sunlight. Benny stetched himself like if it was his only goal in life, but noticed that it might be to hight, even for the stretched Benny. He tried again, harder. Not yet. He jumped. Almost, but his hand only closed when it was too late. He kept trying and trying and his grandmother was watching him delighted, 20 meters away from him.
At the one that seemed the 1000th time, his feet literally floated above the fresh grass, untill the tricky-positioned strawberry was in front of his belly. Or, even better, his belly was in front of the strawberry. He didn't look at the far floor, but at the red thing that had challanged him for minuted that most likely looked like hours. His butt fell softly in the muddy part of the grass and everyone would spend all of their money to see the face that he made. It was a mix of "OHHH YEAHH! I GOT YA MANNN" with "Benny, don't make a stupid face, you are a little diva and you don't have to ruin it".
