Anatole is a mostly polite, presentable and pleasant first year student. He has somewhat of a bowl-cut of deep chestnut hair that usually gets in his eyes much if he doesn't shove it back every so often. His skin is less pale than normal due to his father coming from Mediterranean heritage. Born and raised in Tenbury, England, he grew up without brothers and sisters in a relatively wealthy Muggle household. He moved back and forth between two households (his parents’ and his nanny's) in Tenbury for almost all of his life until he became accepted into the school.

Amanda Evans a proficient lawyer in the area and Martin Evans a neurologist (both always busy), he stayed with his thirty-five-year-old nanny, Patricia Lamott, almost all the time. She was the one who influenced Anatole even more than his parents. Patricia even made sure that Anatole and she have conversations almost daily, eventually resulting in Anatole's advanced social skills as opposed to other kids his age. She pressured him to be polite and always watched shows about nobility and royalty. Sometimes, she insisted Anatole watch them with her for more “exposure”. Because if such, Anatole wanted to grow up to be a prince.

Patricia was the woman who drove him to and from school and occasionally took care of him on weekends. At first, Anatole disliked being around her much, so he began retreating away towards books, more specifically fantasy or adventure novels. C.S. Lewis and others such as Madeleine L'Engle were some of his personal favorites. Patricia wished that Anatole would speak more with him, but at that time he was just six. He couldn't help it. The two of them spent quite a lot of time together, and as time progressed, Anatole grew to call her one of his only friends.

At the age of ten, the first hint of his abilities revealed themselves. Patricia and Anatole were on the way home from school one Friday in February. They were discussing what they were going to do over the weekend. Suddenly, the car’s brakes activated and the vehicle jolted to a stop. Patricia cussed under her breath, confused. Her foot was nowhere near the pedal. However, she smiled and remained positive toward Anatole, despite her growing suspicions.

These peculiar events kept occurring at the oddest moments: the TV seemed to magically shut off whenever it was on a program Anatole didn't like; the book Anatole was reading threw itself across the room, the paperback whacking the wall, cracking like a whip. These occurrences kept on all throughout Anatole's ten-year-old life, yet Patricia never informed the Evanses about them, she was busy crafting her own theory.

One of the few times his parents were able to make an excuse to get off work for a day was Anatole's birthday. When he turned eleven, they both came home to celebrate on a bright Sunday. Moments later, his mother found a mysterious note at the door. She opened it, scanning the words. It was Anatole's acceptance letter into the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His parents were, at first very happy for him, but then quickly became dismayed at the thought that Patricia had never told them. Patricia, flustered, stuttered out all the occurrences, finally, even though she had the opportunity to tell them earlier. Despite Anatole's persistent protest, his parents fired Patricia that day.

From then on, his mother went part-time to take care of Anatole. Her co-workers had been wondering where she went for half the day, but she refused to tell them she needed to care for her son, since he was a wizard and leaving soon. They would think she was crazy, especially as proficient as she was. Amanda took her son down Diagon Alley, assisting in getting her son's materials. However, Anatole still missed Patricia.

The day had come for Anatole to be sent away to the school. His parents took him down to the station, his father helping him with his large trunk. They hugged like they had been with each other for ages. His father even shed a tear. Needing to keep on task, Anatole left, departing toward Platform 9 ¾. The train chugged away, his parents waving happily.

Even today, Anatole swore he saw Patricia on that platform, grinning back at her boy she had taken care of for so long.

Normally, I tend to reply within 36 hours or so of the last reply, especially even quicker if I really love the thread. I'm on Chicago Time and write my replies around afternoon/nighttime then.
If I end up not replying to your thread, it either means I'm crammed with a lot of work (on-site or in my real life) or am just not feeling the thread right then, so I'll give it a re-read and will reply another time.
