Personality: Allister is quiet, empathetic but capable of rather impulsive and emotionally driven decisions. A thinker of the heart over the head. He is by no means unintelligent, but will always choose what he thinks is right over what he thinks is correct logically. Despite this, he is unlikely to ever put his feelings into consideration over others. He is a fan of compromise but will not back down if he feels he or his friends are being treated unfairly. He is a big fan of music, particularly traditional Scottish tracks and modern metal. The fusion of both being his absolute favourite.

Appearance: Allister is a thirteen year old standing at 5'1", slightly taller than average for his age. He has pasty white skin, being from the very top of the Scottish highlands, he has his doubts that the sun even exists. His eyes are a deep blue and his hair is a curly, messy brown. Anyone looking at him could clearly tell he does not spend much time grooming himself.

History: Born to an Aberdonian mother and a Glaswegian father Allister was forever unsure which football team he was supposed to support. His father is a Police Officer who typically works the night shift. He and Allister would spend as much time together as they could during the weekends to make up for lost time, however, his father's general exhaustion sometimes made this difficult. The boy would eventually come to accept cancellations as the norm. He bore no ill will towards his father for it though, he was doing his best to provide.

His mother is a language teacher at the local high school specialising in German and Spanish. She taught Allister how to be conversational in both. Allister saw his mother the most out of the two, she was always around to pick him up shortly after school finished.

Allister decided to go by 'AJ' at roughly age six when his close friends got sick of having to pronounce his full name. He still prefers to go by it, and nobody calls him Allister-Jameson except his mother anymore. Referring to him as such will probably result in a wince and a polite request to simply call him 'AJ.'

AJ had no idea what the hell a "Hogwarts" was when he received his letter in the post. His parents thought he'd signed up for something strange on the internet and shredded the first letter. Out of ignorance, not spite. After that, a representative of the school by the name of Solomon Lear was dispatched to explain the situation to them. Reluctantly they agreed, as long as he was able to come home every school break.

And so, our adventure begins...

First Magical Instance:
Reducio
AJ had not the slightest inclination of the existence of magic. Always having read about such things in books of pure fiction, he used to fantasise about being a powerful sorcerer but was aware that it was just that, a fantasy.

Except for one day, when he was nine. His mother had requested a cup of tea, an ordinary thing. AJ got the mug, plopped in a tea-bag, and put the kettle on to boil. Waited a few minutes and poured the piping hot water in. He strained the tea-bag, put it in the bin and went to fetch the milk to add to the brew. The cup of tea finished he brought it to his mother who promptly took a sip, scrunched up her face and informed him that "This is a coffee sweetheart." She said it politely, but he could see that she was confused about how he had made such an error. He was confused himself, had he somehow accidentally made a coffee via that process?

Or was it perhaps...magic?
