An active, character-driven Hogwarts experience set in the early 2000s. Unique items, plots, and features. Non-canon; this isn't Harry Potter's story, it's ours.
Sexuality: Prefers guys. Not wholly sure. Height: Above Average Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Distinguishing marks: Caine has beauty marks on his left cheek. Two, actually, one on top of the other and dimples when he smiles.
Caine is tall and lean yet strong enough. From his time spent climbing trees and running the boy has stamina and can do about 5 pull ups before he gives up. His legs are long and gangly, his hair is usually, for now, kept spiked up. He has good vision and doesn't require glasses or anything of the sort. His skin is tanned slightly from the sun in the summer but naturally has a slight olive tone to it.
Currently he's learning balance and trying to learn to keep himself standing on moving objects - IE brooms.

RELATIONSHIPS
FAMILY
Sebastian Hawke (former Slytherin) - Ministry of Magic: very strict, dislikes noise. Argumentative and loud. Eira Hawke (muggle): Playful and fierce, oftentimes arguing with Sebastian.
*Caine's parents separated last year before Summer started. Caine spent half the summer hiding in his dad's house and half the summer at his mother's, living the muggle life. Father is very strict and standoffish while Mother is loving, doting and sweet. Mother has a problem with his playing Quidditch because it's dangerous and asked him not to return to Hogwarts after the events last year... however Caine and his father both argued for him to return.
He has no siblings.
Friends
Joshua Twiggs (Hufflepuff, 5th year): His first friend at Hogwarts and his best friend. Will fight a troll for him.
Amber Lloyd (Ravenclaw, 5th year): One of his best friends! Amber is very kind to him and usually has good advice. Sophia Rhynhart (Hufflepuff, 6th year): Sixth year but super friendly. Met when Caine started playing Quidditch in his 2nd year and is cool.
Acquaintances
Oscar Tinkle (Hufflepuff, 5th year): Dorm mate, pretty chill. Lindsey Bryce (Slytherin, 5th year): Nice to Benji, thinks she's alright but they aren't friends yet Arthur Hocking (Hufflepuff, 5th year): Dorm Mate Reena Ashworth (Slytherin, 5th year): Kinda mean. But doesn't know her well enough to pass judgement. Martha Twiggs (Hufflepuff, 6th year): Josh's sister, she's nice. Samuel Twiggs (Ravenclaw, 5th year): Josh's twin brother. He's cool enough and yes, Caine does know the difference between them. Oisin Gowan (Gryffindor, 5th year): He's ok. Little hyper but fun. Lilith Rodriguez (Hufflepuff, 5th year): Classmate. She's interesting, to say the least.
Disliked People
Amara Seabrook (Slytherin, 6th year): Rude. Caine doesn't like her because she took Benji's scarf once. Doesn't hate her but... ew.
Romances
Slytherin Ex (5th Year) - Started dating Halloween of 5th year. Broke up same day. Gryffindor Crush(5th Year) - Interesting. Very, very interesting.

I hope the season is treating you well. I was writing to let you know that I will be at the platform to pick you up for Christmas this year. I have decided that you will spend the holiday with me at the estate.
I look forward to seeing you, son. I have sent you some money for Hogsmeade and some dress robes even if you didn't ask. I do try to keep up with things. Also, please, tell me what you'd like for Christmas so we can arrange it.
See you soon, Dad
Dearest Caine,
It's almost Christmas! I've gotten moved and everything is settled but I haven't put your room together yet. I would like you to do that yourself. I know how your tastes are different than mine and would love for you to have your own personal space here.
That being said, I regret to inform you I will be working through most of Christmas and your father and I have decided that you are to go with him for the holiday. I'm sorry. I know you were looking forward to your lessons during your break but I promise to make it up to you for the summer. I'll write before Christmas and send you something special to make up for it.
Love always, Mom
Dear Dad,
I know you want me to come home for Christmas. In fact, I got the same letter from mom this morning, too but different. Thank you for the robes and the money for Hogsmeade, I'll take my friends out for Butterbeer or something. I'm sure I owe them plenty for getting on their nerves so much.
But that being said, I'd like to let you know I'd rather stay here on the holiday. There's no reason to waste your time or money going to the train. I won't be there. I'm staying so I'll see you in Summer unless you decide to come and see me play Quidditch.
Then again, I'm aware you're busy a lot. So, I won't worry about it.
Write you later,
Caine
Dearest Mama, I love you and miss you a lot! I will definitely come to you during the summer no matter what. Don't worry about all the working and all that. I got it covered. I'll be staying at school for Christmas since I have friends here that would be lonely without me so no stress! I love you. Make sure you're taking breaks and having fun, too. You deserve it.
Love Always, Caine

(#3) October 5th year
I met a Slytherin today. I guess I already knew him from classes and all that... but I never hung out with him before. He was... something. I accidentally pulled him out of a tree too, and he didn't get mad at me! So I think he's going to be our friend now. I always see him mostly by himself, anyway.
His name is @benjamin and he's in our year.
We managed to get two really cool things from the Forest Path - some insect wings (where I got to see Benji beat up a huge bug with a ROCK) and then some pears from the tree we fell out of. We only fell because he tried to climb ME like a tree. But I didn't mind it. Honestly, it was kind of funny!
I have more plots a brewin'. Gotta meet up with @amelia so maybe I'll update soonish.
Byeeee!

(#4) Halloween Hogsmead Trip - 5th year
How do I even start about how wild today was? Like... I thought it would be an awesome day full of awesome things but it seemed to be anything but that. Our day got to start out with Professor Snape - who I swear hates me (Joshua Twiggs even got upset with him over a comment about his sister, which was uncalled for to be fair!) But Amber Lloyd seemed to be keeping us in line in that awesome way she does.
Class went ok... I was terrible at it like I usually am. But I think Josh wasn't having a good day. I should have asked what was wrong but I was so busy talking to Amber about @benjamin that I forgot to ask him if he was alright. I bailed on them. I feel like the absolute worst friend. You have no idea.
After Potions we went to Hogsmeade.
I did bail on Josh and Amber. That was our thing since third year!
We always go together but I wanted to spend some time with Benji away from the castle and... it was a date. At first it was really nice. We went to some stores (candy and joke supplies). We stopped outside a shop and Benji got sad. I don't know why, it's something I should ask him about I'm sure. But but but! Oh! To make him feel better I kind of sort of kissed him. And he kissed back so I guess there's that. As if I didn't like him enough.
We went to the shrieking shack, I got us both in trouble by trying to touch it. The Auror that caught us wasn't very nice. But then Benji told her we were trying to hide and make out and I thought I was going to just faint. I wasn't really embarrassed but it did catch me by surprise.
After that we went to Honeydukes and got some butterbeers but Benji was mad at me. He was so mad, you have no idea. I feel like I really messed up. After talking to Amber and Josh (who were there, switching their scarves like Benji and I have done.) I decided that I needed to tell Professor Snape about the incident before the Auror did.
But like always, I was too late. He already knew and I got a detention for it. But I did manage to get Benji out of trouble so that was a plus.
Detention... now that's something that's interesting. I don't know how to talk about it, really. It seemed like it was going to plan at first - even if the halls were scary and Mrs. Norris was distractingly cute. She should teach Bingus how to be a sophisticated lady. Maybe she'd do well with some lessons from Mrs. Norris. Anyway. I got distracted.
I was cleaning the trophies when someone ran into a suit of armor. I chased them because honestly I thought they could hurt someone. Wouldn't anyone else have done the same? I'm not a super hero or anything like that but I do know how to cast some spells so I figured it'd be alright! Apparently not. Instead I cornered the person. I couldn't see them but it was a guy my age I think. Slytherin robes. They stuck me to the floor and ran for it.
I'm confused.
What were they doing and why? Like I get not wanting to get caught out of bed but why run? Why sling spells at someone and then stick them to the floor? I don't get it. But... I'll talk to the others about it and see what happens.
I have another detention for it tomorrow.
Guess I shouldn't chase bad guys but like... I kind of want to. Maybe I should be an Auror after all... but that means facing down Snape more and I don't know if that's what I want to do. He already hates me with a passion. So, we'll see. Detention tomorrow night will be something else, I'm sure.
But it's late. I'm tired. I'll write more later.

(#5) Beginning November, 5th year
Today was Quidditch day! Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, to be exact and, let me tell you, it was good! I stayed out there with Joshua Twiggs and Amber Lloyd even though it was pouring rain and they kept gazing and blushing. It was cute, really, but... Benjamin was out on the field so I didn't have anyone to make the moon eyes at and it felt kind of... lonely.
Even if they were there and we were joking I'd never felt more out of place in my life. Which is weird because they're my best friends.
At least I learned to be polite and not make them feel such a way when I'm with Benjamin. I didn't like it so I'm sure they wouldn't either.
But the two of them... I think it works. Maybe I should play match maker. Make them both a love poem for each other on Valentine's Day or something. Ha that'd be great. They're all blushy and hand holding so like... maybe they just need a little nudge?
I can do subtle nudging. I'm the king of subtle! Ok so that may not be the case but a guy can try, right?
Anyway! Slytherin won the match tonight! I went to congratulate Benji but he was gone by the time I got to the pitch. I don't know what happened but... I can ask him later, hopefully? I was happy for him, I really was! And like... it was great to think I'd be able to congratulate him but
I get it. I really do. Still it didn't feel good. Today had been really weird. Like... super rain, friends all googly eyed and Benji running off but maybe it was me. Maybe they wanted to avoid me because of the detentions I've had recently.
Speaking of.
I went to my second detention after dinner. I had to make it quick but I met up with Hathmore and we had a detention session with some training dummies. I hurt all over but I won't lie - it was so cool! Save for the water that hit me at the end but hey, it was a good time (or as good a time you can have at a detention session, you know?)
I told him about the strange guy with the Slytherin robes that stuck me into a spot like we had happen in class once. Maybe he believed me. Maybe he doesn't think I'm crazy? Eh but does it matter, really?
I want to learn to defend my friends. I hated getting stuck that way. But, at least I think I know how to get better and that involves asking Professor Hathmore for lessons on the side if he's not overly busy.
Then again, he's the professor in charge of all Defense Against the Dark Arts. Who knows. All I know is I should probably go to bed and think about the weird day at a later time.

Well, today was Quidditch practice. What can I say? I was excited to hang out with Joshua Twiggs and Sophia Rhynhart because it feels so far between chances to see the both of them together. I love when I get the chance to hang out with them and, honestly, it gave me some hope for the future games. We have a chaser, a keeper, and a seeker. Sure, we're at a disadvantage, without a Beater but we can do this!
I have no doubt that we'd be able to succeed if that's the case. Because... some of the other teams don't have a Keeper.
I'm pretty sure Gryffindor has a keeper but, as far as I can tell, it can balance out pretty well. With Sophie's skills and Josh's quick thinking? We should have it in the bag!
I wish I'd done more yesterday but, really, Quidditch practice and class took it all out of me. I don't mind, tho. At least I didn't have another detention to contend with. It's starting to get old but, if I have to say so, at least it gives me quality time with Mrs. Norris.
I think she's a pretty awesome cat if I do say so myself. Filch isn't too bad either if you really think about it. I'd probably hate kids too if they were so rude to me all the time. Everyone deserves to have friends, I say. Even if it's difficult I think I can aim for it. Let him know that not everyone is terrible.
I need to write home. Tell dad about Quidditch practice and the team but I just don't want to. Mom would be more supportive but she doesn't like Quidditch. Thinks it's dangerous. She isn't really wrong but I'm working on balance and strength. I have plans, you hear me?
Sure, might get hurt but on the other hand... could come out looking awesome! Broom balance is the first on my list - as well as keeping my grades up. That's the best I got.
I'm anxious about the game tomorrow but, no matter how it goes, I know we'll have fun. So... fingers crossed in the sport of competitive friendships, right?

(#7) November, 5th year
Today was Quidditch day! I was super excited if not a little sad. The guy I was seeing didn't show. He won his Quidditch match and then just... nothing since Hogsmeade. But it's fine. He can do whatever. I'm not upset that I took an entire detention row because of what happened, anyway.
Let it slide, Caine. Besides, it was only one date, right? I should have been happier at the match but it took until he wasn't 'there to realize that there was really no point in continuing to hope.
Anyway! Quidditch day. What do I say about it? Well, I'll say Amber Lloyd is a damn fine Seeker. She's smart and I really need to up my game if I'm going to go against her again. So, we'll see how it goes. I just don't want to come in dead last, you know?
So! Here's how it went down: we started the game as any other but both teams were down a lot of players. We have only one chaser, one keeper and me, the Seeker, you know? Ravenclaw had two chasers and a Seeker. They had the advantage on Chasers but Sophie is an amazing Chaser so I wasn't worried in the beginning.
But those toddler sparrows are terrifying.
They ganged up and dominated the field! Could you imagine?! They swooped in and ganged up on Sophia Rhynhart and even Amber joined in on the chaos once so I made to distract her. Bloody hell it was like we were lambs and they were wolves and Joshua Twiggs did all he could to keep the goals safe from these little ankle biters. But they were ruthless.
Maybe I should try to be more rough with the other team.
Oh man but Amber was cool when she snitch was spotted! She and I were shoulder to shoulder, she beat me once, I got back into the game, and then she was back at it - she was fast! I'm really impressed with her skills, I won't lie.
Even in practice she was really good so I shouldn't have been shocked but I was. Like... that girl is amazing and I wish I could have told her after the game but she was swept up and away so quickly I couldn't even say she'd done well!
But that was the extent of the excitement. I am so tired now. Like absolutely just need to sleep for like a week.
Today was... eventful! I can't deny that I am absolutely exhausted tonight. Add to that it's almost one in the morning and I just got finished dressing for bed. But I'm riding on the excitement buzz!
This morning was a flying refresher. I finished dead last at 2:20:50 and I am not happy with that. I think I need to step up my game and ask my dad for a new broom or something. The one I have isn't that fast, nor is it one of the ones I want to actually play with.
Especially after the game yesterday.
But, knowing now that I have to step it up is one of the first steps at getting where I need to be, right? So I'll practice more, do better. Get there. I swear it. Especially considering I want to be a professional Quidditch player.
Dad wanted me to come home for Christmas. I declined. I'd rather be here than there, honestly, so we'll see how it goes. I hope Christmas is fun because Joshua Twiggs is going home so it'll be me and Amber and maybe some new friends, too.
After the flying refresher I made my way to Hogsmeade. I was supposed to meet Josh and Amber for Butterbeer to celebrate Amber Lloyd making Ravenclaw Captain (after crushing us completely yesterday!) but I accidentally smacked a Gryffindor with a snowball.
@evan was an ok sport about it but I did end up shooting a firework at him. Oops. Ok so it wasn't an oops but we got out of there pretty quick after that!
I got back in enough time to ride a Dragon Toad. That was a good time. The guy was fast and wild - kind of reminded me of myself and I had a fabulous time! But, unfortunately, it ended in a pond and, while it was hilarious and a great time, I do not want to repeat that freezing pond incident.
Tonight was also the Founder's Ball. It was a lot of fun, I have to admit. I ended up going with Josh, Amber and @sinead but ended up getting tripped by Evan and landing on the floor.
I won Hear to Hufflepuff at the ball which took me off guard but, you know what? It was amazing. I got a crown with yellow gems in it and I adore it. I can't wait to show my mama.
Anyway, that's all for tonight. I have to go to bed.

It's Christmas Eve. And I, your great and interesting writer, got banned from Hogsmeade. After winning Heir of Hufflepuff at the dance I was banned because I shot Fireworks at a Gryffindor's face. It was... interesting. I didn't have it in me to tell any of my friends so I kind of just ran off on them. Sounds cowardly, I know.
But I didn't want to ruin their good day, so there was that, right?
Dad wrote me today. Asked if I could come home. I refused. I mean, I miss Mom but there was no mention of her. I guess I miss Dad, too, but I just don't want to argue through Christmas. That's fair, isn't it? I think so. Maybe I'm just trying to justify not going when so many others would have jumped at the chance.
It's rough, but it is what it is.
I'll have to see about Summer. I wanted to bring some friends home or something but that's so far off it's hard to tell what will happen.
I dueled with Evan yesterday, too. It was a lot of fun! But when I say I lost more than I won, I mean it. I lost like... twice in a row before coming back with a win the third round. We called it after that. I didn't know how bad I was until I tried it but hey! At least I got back up each time!
After dueling we were supposed to meet by the lake but it didn't happen. He snogged me, stole my scarf and threw me his... then was gone. Rude, right?
I keep getting myself into these situations! People are pretty, I can't even explain it! Now I have to write home and tell my dad I need new scarves for my uniform. Ugh. I have two but they aren't my house so... there's that, at least. Maybe I should go for the full shebang and get all four. Like a collector.
I kind of like that idea.
So, stood up at the boathouse I decided to just... smack some rocks around. I knew it was Charms extra credit so I just... kind of did it. When it was over I saw the Giant Squid! Or, well, his tentacles, anyway! Isn't that cool?! I thought so! Like I don't think I've ever seen those before and it was so neat!
I could go on about that forever!
It was boring after that. At least until I decided to go into the forest path and found some fire geckos. They're cute! But they weren't well so I had to put them out one by one to treat one of them with a medicine. It was a hoot, I swear.
I met a Gryffindor girl after that. We hunted spiders. She caught one. With. Her. Bare. Hands. No, no ma'am, thank you. She was brave but I don't think we'd be friends outside of that. She seemed kind of... dramatic in a way that even I'm not dramatic.
Dinner followed, which I skipped. Choosing to sleep instead. It was a whole thing. But yeah, yesterday was boring but I got plans for tomorrow! I got things to do, broom polish ingredients to scrape together... maybe even a potion to make. We'll see. It really just depends on the motivation and how much I choose to do, right?
We'll see!
