This is Alexander, however most people call him Alex. He was born in Washington, U.S.A, but had to move to London five years later due to tax issues. He is 11 years old. Alex is usually very happy and witty. His parents, named Jessica and Daniel, who are Nurse and Soldier respectively. taught him from an early age that he should always stick up for someone else, his father taught him that. His mother taught him that he should always be kind to others, even if they're mean to him. He is rather tall for his age, around five-foot one, and is very lean. He has bluish eyes, and light brown hair. He has pale skin, with white teeth. Alex is a fan of wolves, in fact, they're his favorite animal, and loves magic, despite not being able to cast any spells or use it... Yet. Since his parents were muggle born, he didn't even know magic even existed for a long time. until one day when he went out with his pet cat for a walk, when he slipped on the curb and fell towards the street, being naturally athletic, he tried to tuck and roll to recover, instead, he bounced off the road and landed next to his cat, who was focused on a rather large piece of grass. Perplexed, Alex jumped on the road to see if it was rubbery or bouncy. It was made of concrete and asphalt. Alex grabbed his cat and ran towards his house, excited to tell his parents what had happened. Since Alex weighs 82 pounds, and is rather agile, he was able to run almost three blocks in less than a minute. After telling his parents what had happened, and them scolding him, thinking it was a joke, Alex walked upstairs to his room to play video games. when he turned on his Xbox, he went to grab his controller, but found a letter on his bed with a red seal on it. Excited, he ripped open the letter. After reading through it, he stuffed it into his shirt and ran to his friend Xander's house. Since his friend lived almost a mile away, it took Alex about nine minutes, having to stop and take a breath many times. When Alex got there, he knocked on the door, and waited, bouncing foot to foot. When Xander's sister, Pixie, opened the door, Alex pushed by her saying, "I need to show Xander something!" Alex ran downstairs and found Xander playing on his computer, Alex showed him the letter. After a while, Xander smiled and asked, "Really dude, you got into Hogwarts?" Alex asked him, "What does this mean, I'm a wizard, so i can cast spells now?" Xander laughed and told him, "No, you have to go to the school first, then you learn the spells." Alex had read the books on Harry Potter's life, and remembered one spell from it, He pointed at a chair and yelled, "Windgardium Leviosa!" Nothing happened. Alex looked around, "Why didn't it work?" Xander was on the floor, laughing. "You -gasp- need -wheeze- a wand -chortle- first!" Alex nodded, not at all understanding. Xander then offered to take him to Diagon alley to get the supplies on the list, and afterwords, took him to platform 9 and three quarters. He explained you had to run at it at a full start, so it didn't solidify or something. Alex asked him, "Aren't you coming with me?" Xander's smile faded, "Sorry man, i'm not magical like you, but don't worry, i'll tell your parents the good news!" Xander waved him off, and Alex took a breath, and ran into the pillar.
