Hi, my name is Xerxes Raven

I'm a boy

I'm 14 years old.

This is my 1st year here at Durmstrang.

The team I'm on is (Go get your team assignment after you post this profile and it's been accepted)

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm very quiet and distant. I love to learn and do alot of reading. I have a bunch on my mind and tend to worry more then people think. I have a short temper and tend to react very violently. I am VERY protective of those I care for and don't take harm towards them lightly.

My background story is a bit of a tale. A long time ago when I was little I had a twin. My brother and I were very close. We used to go playing in the forest around our home. I used to steal his glasses alot which was fun because without them he's totally blind. I don't remember how it happened, but one day he wasn't there. My father couldn't explain it easily to me when I was young. We moved to Finland when I was 9, and after father got his job here I finally found out what happened. My brother was kiddnapped. It crushed me. I knew something was wrong all those years.

When I was eleven my father started homeschool me. He told me ages ago that I was born in england. But he refused to let me go to Hogwarts. Not that I minded, I like spending time with him. Recently we got news from the Headmaster that they are allowing me to attend. I was surprised to say the least. Now I get to be the oldest 1st year probably in history. But I'm just hoping the other will get along with me.

I enjoy reading
-Thinking about my brother
-Working on the grounds with my father
-Snow
-Rainy days
-Making my father proud
-Blackberries

I despise the person who took my brother
-People who mock me for starting late
-Ruined books
-People making a mess of my father's work
-Father's temper
-Strawberries

I look like 14
15-16
17

My wand is a Blacktorn 11 3/4 inch with a phoenix feather core

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! I have a pet raven. His name is Sonex. I found him as a chick last year and have become rather fond of him. I'm rarely seen without him.
