History


━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━

Cory was born to Delilah Hanes and Henry Campbell, although Cory has no idea who his father is. His mother refuses to tell Cory anything about him, except for the fact that he was a no good muggle. The Hanes family line was a renowned pureblood family line, and no one outside of Cory, his mom, and his grandparents know he isn't a pureblood himself.
His mom wasn’t around much in his life, she had Cory when she was only 18 and didn’t want to be tied down by a child. So his mom continued traveling the world and pursuing her acting career. She was more of a much older sister to Cory than a mom.
His grandparents raised him instead. The Hanes family line had generational wealth, going so far back that no one quite knew how it was first acquired. This allowed Cory to be provided with top tier tutors and the best possible education. That education included the implementation of pureblood and family values. He grew up being told that he was born better than everyone around him because of the family he was born into, and as he grew it became a key part of his personality. He was also taught that he could never reveal what his father was, because he was nothing if not a perfect Hanes.
The spoiled life style fueled his ego, making him a bit of a troubled child, who didn't like being told what to do, His moto being “You can’t make me”Any time tutors tried to explain his terrible attitude to his grandparents, she insisted that her "angel" would never do such a thing and that he was right. Cory's grandfather actually fueled it even farther by introducing the boy to pranking, and the house staff soon became victim to the boy's mischievousness.
It wasn't that Cory was deprived of love, its just that he was shown love in a different way then most. Love was a reward based on sucess, without sucess, he was nothing to his family. Cory never minded this thought, it was just the way things had always been. The only person to ever love Cory unconditionally was a housing staff name Charlotte, but know to her friends as Lottie. Lottie was in her 30s during Cory's first year at hogwarts, only a year or two older than his own mother. While she was young, she had the spirit of an old sole. For example, it was a weekly habit for her to sneak Cory a choclate chip cookie from the kicthens, even when he was grounded. Every night she could, she read him a bed time story, even when he insisted he was too old. In reality he secretly loved the ritual even if he was ashamed to admit it aloud. Lottie would always have a special place in Cory's heart.
