Silverwood Enterprises.

The corporation’s name does not go unuttered when introducing a new wizard to the world they have just entered. It's the community’s go-to for high-end Quidditch products including brooms, balls and gear. Starting as a small broom shop in a municipal borough of London headed by Søren’s grandfather, the company grew to an immeasurable size. While most people knew the SIlverwood name, not many could place a face to its members. One could not even imagine the large number of Silverwood siblings, nor the family’s newest entrant on August 5th, 2008.

Søren was born with a silver spoon, and no, his parents did not let him learn how to use it on his own. He was showered with wealth from the minute he entered the world and one might be confused about the choice to send him to Hogwarts rather than a ‘more dignified’ private school or even homeschooling. Søren’s parents, while they allowed him to be pampered from the clothes he wore to the food he ate, believed it was necessary to send him to Hogwarts for the name of the family. They also believe that Søren will be able to begin networking in his final years at the school, but they have not elected to telling him that yet.

It was not a surprise when Søren, angry with the gift he received for his birthday, caused the thing to dismantle in front of his parent’s eyes. They had been waiting with bated breath for the day he showed signs of magic. Praying even. They knew that squibs were rare but they believed that if it happened to the family once, it could happen again. Once Søren’s magic ability showed, the Silverwoods breathed easy. They gave him even more of the finest toys and clothes and began to mold him into the ideal Silverwood, just as his siblings - ah - most of his siblings were.

Søren is a naturally extroverted kid. He loves people. Where some of his siblings get tired of being showboated at parties and galas, Søren revels in it. He loves the spotlight on himself and he knows every way in the book to catch people’s attention. He tries to befriend every person in the room, no matter their age or background. He’s got the networking down to a T and he doesn’t even know it yet.

He’s only eleven, but he’s wised up a bit over the years. No one likes a spoiled brat, he’s learned. So no, Søren won’t get upset with his parents when they give him gifts he doesn’t want nor will he shout at the help or laugh at others’ misfortunes with money. At least, not in public.

As for looks, Søren is just a normal, taller-than-average, black-haired eleven year-old boy. But his back is just a little bit straighter, his gait a little bit more proud and his disposition a little bit more refined.
