AUBERON KELPIS
36 May 16th, 1982 Healer/Creature-Induced Injuries Full-time Floor Head Hogwarts - Hufflepuff Alumni Half-blood London, England | PERSONALITY: Warm and friendly to everyone he meets his very character seems to bring some joy to those who know him. Silly and clumsy he likes making his friends and coworkers laugh, even if he himself feels awkward in social situations. Honestly he usually just says whatever comes to mind. This can be nice if someone wants an honest opinion, but not so good for those seeking a lie, even a small white one. A lover of travel and magical creatures, bringing up either will always get Auberon chattering away with hardly a breath in between words. Not particularly ambitious or in a hurry to do much he seems content where he is in life, currently. ASPIRATION: As much as he loves his job as a Healer he one day wants to move back to Scotland to open a magical creatures sanctuary. It would also be amazing to get to his real passion by becoming a magizoologist as well. For now, he simply looks forward to teaching younger Healers and making sure his patients get the best care. | LIKES: - Magical creatures - Travelling to remote places - Sunsets during the fall where it lights the coloured leaves ablaze - Flavourful teas - His pet Kneazle Lady - Muggle items - Muggle novels DISLIKES: - Animal cruelty - Inequality of people - Riddles - Littering or anything that disturbs nature - Stepping on someone’s chewing gum - Extreme cold - Arguing in public |

CHILDHOOD. | As a Half-blood with a Pureblood father Auberon was born into a wealthy well-to-do family from Kenmore, Scotland. As a child, he was taught many things that his parents thought a 'proper' Pureblood should learn. For a time he acted the way his parents liked, only had Purebloods as friends, and didn't think the way he was raised was very strange. Things didn't last long for the family, however, as when Auberon was six, and his siblings a mere five and three years of age their parents were both arrested. Their names had been given up by other Death Eater's who had been captured and both were sentenced to Azkaban as their ties with Voldemort were uncovered. This left all three children without parents and thus entrusted to their Aunt's care. Both his Aunt and Uncle were Purists as well but managed to steer clear of formal charges. Because of their beliefs, the children were still raised in a Purist household and instructed to not bring shame to the family name. He never went to Muggle school and was privately tutored at his home in things his parents decided were important. When his aunt and uncle weren't home he often found himself sneaking off from his caretaker to go play with the local children which brought him to realise that Muggles were awesome. |
YEAR 01. | Once Auberon got his letter and went off to Hogwarts he was able to do more things on his own. Starting with the fact that he didn't want to be in Slytherin. The sorting hat placed the young boy in Hufflepuff shortly before the name 'Potter, Harry' was called. Wide-eyed with surprise he watched as raptly as everyone else as the Potter boy got sorted, unsurprisingly, into Gryffindor house. If only he had known then that his years at Hogwarts at the same time as the Boy-Who-Lived were going to be fraught with troubles. He didn't ever go to the third-floor corridor but everyone eventually heard the story of Harry Potter and his friends, as well as the change in house points that brought Gryffindor to a win. Auberon had felt out of sorts having no clue anything was going on as he spent time with his Half-blood and Muggleborn friends over paying attention to trouble. |
YEAR 02. | In his second year he was happier because his sister was joining him at school too and he could point out the famous wizard to her. He could also help her get to her classes so she didn't get lost, though she eventually made her own friends and no longer needed his guidance. It became a troubling year though as Muggleborns got attacked, and ghosts and cats being petrified. Not to mention the creepy messages written in blood and the fleeing of spiders. As an avid fan of creatures he had been worried about the spider's reactions and had from then on kept his sister close to be sure nothing happened to her. And of course like the year prior Harry Potter made himself the talk of the school by finding the Chamber of Secrets and slaying a Basilisk. This last thing made him sad because the ancient creature had been killed. |
YEAR 03. | The train ride to school in his third year was harrowing, to say the least. He had read about dementors out of curiosity since his parents resided in Azkaban. Auberon had been terrified to meet such a creature despite himself so when they came aboard to search for Sirius Black he had been scared but ultimately the creatures hadn't lingered long. He went and checked on his sister once the train got going and throughout the school year as the dementors were rather creepy. With the sightings of Sirius Black, the whole school seemed on edge and even he was worried about what would happen if he showed up. When Malfoy was hurt by Buckbeak he became worried for the hippogriff's wellbeing and was ultimately relieved when the amazing creature escaped. Professor Lupin's class on Boggarts reveals that Auberon is afraid of clowns. |
YEAR 04. | This year started out with news from the World Cup of the dark mark in the sky and the destruction of the campgrounds. His baby brother started Hogwarts this year and the three of them often sat together whenever they could. Professor Moody is a terrifying presence and Auberon deeply dislikes the way he teaches the Unforgivable Curses. The best thing that happens, however, is the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students and the exciting chatter about the Triwizard Tournament happening this year. When the Champions were chosen he was elated to have Cedric Diggory representing Hogwarts, as a Hufflepuff himself he was beyond pleased to have their house be the symbol of the school. Of course, Harry's stealing of the spotlight made him, like others in his house, rather upset. That said he never wore the Potter stinks button that many others did and simply decided to make friends with the foreign school students. The first task was amazing, mostly because he got to see dragons closer than he ever had before. At the Yule Ball, he went to the dance with an older Durmstrang boy despite being nervous about people seeing them together. At this point, he was nervous about people knowing he was gay but his companion assured him that the world had to change and the only way to show that was to be unafraid of what others would say. The fourteen-year-old would take these words to heart. The second task was rather boring as they stood watching the still lake but the end was nail-biting. The end of the tournament was a sobering vent. The death of Cedric Diggory and the purported return of Voldemort made the world feel a bit more dangerous. |
YEAR 05. | The Daily Prophet begins to print news that Dumbledore is cracked and that Harry Potter is a liar. Auberon isn't sure what to believe but considering the way things feel at home he wonders if things were going to get worse. When his school letter arrives he finds he's been made Prefect which seems surreal. Arriving at Hogwarts to the announcement of a new Professor and a speech about the progress that makes him feel even more ill at ease. The decrees making a High Inquisitor are anxiety-inducing and as a Prefect he finds himself helping students as much as he can. Eventually, he ends up joining Dumbledore's Army to learn defensive spells since their education was being stifled. The DA becomes an amazing experience where he learns about all sorts of defensive spells that made him feel safer than ever. It became especially important to him after the news of a mass breakout from Azkaban that included his mother and father. Nervous and anxious from here on out he becomes known for his clumsiness and inability to focus. When Umbridge sacked Professor Trelawney he felt terribly for the Divination teacher, watching from the sidelines feeling like a betrayal of sorts even if he could do nothing to help. Unfortunately, the DA got caught and they all ended up in detention with the wretched quill that left scars on the back of his right hand. If that wasn't the kicker the loss of his Prefect status, Dumbledore leaving, and the upcoming OWLs it all felt very overwhelming. He, with the rest of the DA, helped cover for the other's escape from the school and eventually heard the news of the death of Sirius Black and the return of Voldemort. Auberon was deeply glad he had joined the DA after this news broke, especially as he returned home to his parents coming back into his life. They did not stay long or often as they did Voldemort's bidding. The pressure to join them was on Auberon's shoulders and he repeatedly denied them, staying only to protect his younger siblings from them. |
YEAR 06. | The beginning of his sixth year see's the return of his Prefect status and a relief to be away from home and back at school. With Diagon Alley having been a depressing time to get school supplies and news of disappearances and attacks it was nice to be somewhere safe. A fellow Hufflepuff, Hannah Abbott, gets called out of class one day and later on he learns her mother was killed. With this and Katie Bell being later cursed by a necklace he has taken his Prefect duties much more seriously. Always helping anyone who needed it and making sure things didn't get worse. Later in the year, they all start Apparition lessons which don't turn out well for Auberon, who is slow to understand how it works. Because of his birthday he is not allowed to do the extra lessons in Hogsmeade which is a relief to him really as he hadn't enjoyed the regular lessons at all. As the year ticked by and he spent more time studying he started to wonder what sort of profession he would want to go into after school. Being a magizoologist had been his dream since he was young and the idea still was one of his dreams. That all changed the night Headmaster Dumbledore was killed, standing there in the courtyard he decided to do his best to be helpful as a Healer instead. |
YEAR 07. | Before school even resumed it was very clear that things were changing for the worst. The death of Scrimgeour made the news as well as deaths, disappearances, and compulsory attendance at Hogwarts for all. Returning to Hogwarts for his last year was rather depressing overall, especially with Snape as the Headmaster. The duo of brother and sister Death Eaters at the school had made the entire school so unlike Hogwarts that it was hard to do anything that might get one in trouble. As a Prefect and former DA member, he did his best to protect the younger students no matter their house and got himself in a lot of trouble doing so. It was so difficult to maintain his Prefect status and protect others while also studying for his NEWTs. Like many of the students from the DA, he was staying in a secret room with a bunch of others to avoid the dark goings-on and keep the resistance going as many Gryffindors led the way. In May when Potter and his friends came back to the school is when things finally come to a head and they were able to be rid of both Death Eaters and Snape. The arrival of the order of the Phoenix brought a spark of hope to everyone as everyone watched them until plans to protect the school got everyone moving. Determined to protect the school and anyone he could Auberon took up arms with the others. When the battle finally started he was in the courtyard, nervously holding his wand in front of him but dead set on not letting anyone get hurt on his watch. With giants, Death Eaters and giant spiders things got hectic quickly and he, like many others, ended up injured by the time a 'peace' was called for. As he could still stand he helped get other injured or unconscious people into the Great Hall to be treated while they all waited out this calm spot in the storm. None of them knew that Potter was going to leave as he knelt with Madam Pomfrey to follow her instruction on healing the wounds they were faced with. When the call of 'Harry Potter is dead' came he was at the back of the crowd feeling despondent. They had lost so much already and it seemed they wouldn't win this fight against Voldemort. Afraid of what this all meant he stayed close to his siblings, ready to apparate the loss of them away from here if they needed to. To his shock Potter actually started fighting Voldemort right there in the courtyard. Not wanting to get in the way he herded his siblings, along with a lot of younger students, back into the hallways, calling for them to protect the injured so they wouldn't feel like he was babying them. In the end, good triumphed which brought relief to everyone who was telling stories and laughing now that the pressure of darkness had lifted. When he finally took his NEWTs is when he decided to become a Healer rather than a magizoologist and upon graduating did just that. |
ADULTHOOD. | Instead of jumping right into being a Healer he took a year off to travel, visiting many magical creature sanctuaries to volunteer. He greatly enjoyed his time among creatures who needed help, learning about them and simply seeing them in their natural habitats. The last thing he did before settling down for his career was swimming with merpeople in the North Sea. He really enjoyed meeting them and the use of gillyweed allowing him to understand and communicate with them was the highlight of his life. During this time he also dated a magizoologist who gifted him his first pet, a Crup named Sparky that loved to travel as much as he did. At nineteen years old he finally began his trainee years at St. Mungo's. As a young healer, he went from ward to ward to learn everything he could before deciding, upon leaving his required trainee years, to be a creature injuries Healer. It was close enough to being a magizoologist since his creature knowledge would come in handy but also allow him to help people. For years he stayed in this ward eventually being promoted to floor head. Proud of himself he takes his job very seriously while also being sure that his happy-go-lucky personality stays intact. Over the years he dated off and on but never found anything serious, which has left him nervous about the dating scene. |
RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
It was hard to pay attention in class most days, his mind drifting so much that whatever the professor was talking about went in one ear and out the other. So when people started moving books to get down to their task he was at a loss as to what it was. Lucky for him that one of the other students actually answered his question. There would have been no way for him to know what spell they were to be working on otherwise. Yawning a little he shifted a little to at least attempt the spell before their teacher noticed him slacking. After a moment it was totally clear he hadn't heard the incantation properly as he failed it a few times in a row. Luck was still with him.
"No, no, do it this way. Are you stuck on the wand movement too?"
Remy gave a lazy wave and a little shrug when the student beside him interrupted his latest try to ask him what he was stuck on the wand movement. "Nah? I just didn't see it. I wasn't really listening." The response he gave was quickly followed by a laugh. It might not be terribly funny to others but being honest was just his default stance when asked a question. He turned his gaze to them fully, definitely giving off an 'I almost fell asleep' vibe as he leaned his arm on the desk. "Hey, would you mind showing me it once more?"
