Elijah Lee knows that people think he's dumb, but that's okay- they also think he's funny. Every superlative award since daycare has read "Class Clown", and so he doesn't mind too much. He's never not taken a dare, and perhaps his cleverness is under the surface, the way he manages to pull off each prank with spectacular precision. His teachers find him draining, of course, but even when it took them an hour after class every day for three months to make sure he passed their courses, they generally found themselves looking on wistfully when he moved up to the next grade, and out of their stead for good. Elijah has that effect on people- an endearing sort of exasperation, it's been called.

Since starting Hogwarts, though, he's managed himself alright; nothing Prefect-worthy, to be sure, but he's slid along, just enough to pass. He's only needed a handful of tutoring sessions from his friends, just before big tests and the like- although, being mostly Gryffindors themselves, they tend to distract him more often then they teach him. He nearly blew up the class during Second-Year when all he could remember from his studying was that they had definitely added bat spleen when they'd made it together in the Common Room (he had forgotten, of course, that they'd done it on purpose, to see if they could singe off his roommates eyebrows, after he had lost a bet).

Other than being academically-challenged, Elijah is a fairly impressive flyer. Although he never joined a Quidditch team, his fearlessness makes him a wicked Beater whenever he plays an unsanctioned or street game. His favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures, because even though he doesn't exactly get good marks, he thinks the beasts are positively brilliant, and he'd never goof off in a way that would startle them. He knows a lot of people, but he wouldn't exactly say he's got a lot of friends- ever hear "jack of all trades, master of none"? It's like that, but with people. Everybody knows him (be that a good thing or bad), but only a handful could name anything about him, besides some stunt he pulled last year.

He's a fifth-year, about to turn 17 in November (yes, he was held back once- but that was in Nursery School! They said he wasn't "emotionally ready" to move on), and he is positively bursting to see what adventures are in store for him this year. His goal is to have a real date for the Yule Ball this time around (although everyone thought it was hilarious when he dressed his owl in formal gowns and called her his "date" last year), and perhaps to finally plan his long-awaited trek into the Forbidden Forest.

ahh, which slot is he?

(Sorry, my bad! The Gryffindor Slot 1. If accepted here's relationships + fact sheet)

★彡 🅔🅛🅘🅙🅐🅗 彡★
Half-Blood, 5th Year, Gryffindor

Wand: An oddly-shaped cherrywood, 11 and three quarters inches, with mermaid-hair core. Incredibly flexible. It bends, and bends- but never breaks (no matter how often he misuses it).

Patronus: Lynx

Pet: Spotted Wood Owl, named Petra.

Height / Weight: 5'10, 155

Hair: Wavy, dark brown, and always a little unkempt.

Eye Color: Pale Blue

Favorite Song: Of Monsters and Men - King and Lionheart

"Taking over this town, they should worry,
But these problems aside I think I taught you well.
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run."

Family: Father is a wizard, and mother a muggle. He has three sisters, two older and one younger. The older ones taught him everything he knows about troublemaking, but they both did better in school than him. They always tried to help him out, but between the four of them, the youngest is by far the smartest. Perhaps it came from growing up the victim of three older sibling's pranks, but now she thinks two steps ahead of everyone she meets, and Elijah loves her for it.

Boggart: Himself, old and empty. Not good enough at anything, or for anyone. Never found his calling. No more joy in the little things. No more laughter. No one knowing him enough to even pity him.

Everything Elijah could possibly dislike in a person, Kendrick Hamilton seemed to have covered.
Rich? Check.
Uptight? Check.
Arrogant? Check.
Prejudiced? Check.
And although Elijah Lee may not judge Slytherins as swiftly as some, it certainly didn't help that they were house rivals. All things considered, they would not be getting butterbeer together anytime soon (and not just because of that time he slid a packet of Whizzing Worms into Kendrick's drink during a trip to Hogsmeade last year).

He knew about Angeline, because everybody knows about Angeline. You couldn't take two steps down the hall without hearing about her- and it's not that Elijah minded, perse. She could be an incredible person, for all he knew- but that was just it. He didn't really know if she was the greatest thing since sliced pumpkin bread, or an absolute terror. If you went by how everyone talked about her, she was an angel (or, at the very least, a Veela, which wasn't too different as far as any of the boys in his dorm were concerned), but he'd also watched a second-year crying in the Artefacts Room because she had gotten on the wrong side of Angeline's temper. He didn't know what to make of her, but that didn't mean he wasn't as interested as everyone else in the school to find out. Rumors work that way- whether they're true or not, you're always dying to know just a little more. Angeline was a textbook case-study in making people want to know just a little more.

Bloody brilliant, that one. Really smart. Like really-really smart. It was a mystery to him, how one brain could do all that stuff, and know all that stuff. She made him look like a proper idiot, but that was okay. He liked it, sort of- it was like looking up at the sky, and seeing all the stars and light and vastness, and suddenly knowing that you are absolutely the smallest and most insignificant thing in the galaxy. He quite liked astronomy. And Morowa Lafayette, for that matter. They both made him feel incredibly mind-numbingly small, in the best possible way.

A lovely view, Mira Rose, but Elijah didn't know much else. He learned pretty early in Primary School that shy girls don't actually like it when you try to include them in your mischief. In fact, he noticed they quite disliked it. He wasn't great at school, but it only took one drink splashed in his face to learn that lesson. At least it was pumpkin juice.

Were she one ounce more daring, they'd have had no choice but to put her in Gryffindor (or so Elijah insisted). Aza was always ready for an adventure, making her just the type of person Elijah Lee was after to make friends with- only thing is, he wasn't too good at that. She was a Hufflepuff, after all, and so it's not like they shared a common room. He admired her, no doubt, but there was a good chance (he doesn't know the numbers off hand, as he's not the best at Maths you'll recall, but he'd wager somewhere around 100%) that Aza couldn't tell him apart from any other Gryffindor in their year.

hey everybody- feel free to start now! since the last two spots have been taken, everybody's here. i'm just waiting on those two people to make their forms.

[Kj.harbs]

I replied again (because I'm really bored waiting for my last class) but now I'll hold off for a while until other people get a chance to post, so nobody gets left behind, and everyone can still get involved - especially Insane Membrane, because you're already involved in the first posts.

Okay, good luck guys!
