Pembroke Teague
21 February 4th, 1998 Herbology Professor's Assistant Hogwarts - Hufflepuff Half-blood Llangefni, Wales/Hogwarts | PERSONALITY: Pem is an interesting case of a person, seemingly very open to new experiences, adaptable to his surroundings, and yet a huge homebody he really doesn't like sudden changes very much. Confident in his abilities in Herbology he doesn't seem to be very concerned that he's not the best at anything else, much happier to be good at one thing rather than a whole bunch. A romantic at heart he is especially entranced with the idea of finding people to spoil with attention and spontaneous bouts of both dates and gifts. ASPIRATION: He is shooting for a full-time Professor when he has enough experience and has his very own garden where he can grow everything from food to ingredients for medicine. | LIKES: - Herbology - Summer days - Rainy nights - Mushrooms - Cats - Sunflowers - Adventure DISLIKES: - Crows, they eat his plants! - Bigotry and hatred - Wasting food - Overbearing construction sounds - Fitted clothing - Terrible animal conditions - Mazes, he gets lost easily |
FAMILY MEMBERS. | Simon Teague, father, 45. Nicola Teague, mother, 44. *** Teague, sibling, 18. *** Teague, sibling, 15. |
CHILDHOOD. | In 1998 Simon and Nicola Teaque welcomed their first child into the world, a son who they decided to call Pembroke after Simon's great grandfather. It was an exciting time for the new family as they spent the first few months together. Even though he slept fitfully and was always much happier asleep. This trait persisted into his toddler years where he would be out playing in the dirt and in short order would be taking a nap right in his play area. When he was three years old his younger sibling was born and it didn't take long for him to become a little jealous. Often he would pester his parents when they were busy with the baby, asking a million questions so that some of the attention would come back to him. It was tough for a time for the family to balance enough time between both children and their work schedules, but they made do the best they could. At seven his parents starting noticing that he would fall asleep even while eating or even mid-talk with others. Concerned they brought their child to a number of doctors but Muggle and Magical who made tentative diagnosis's of ADHD or epilepsy but nothing seemed to help his daytime sleepiness. Medication was given and they assumed it would either get better or become easier to diagnose once he was older. Eventually they fell to a rhythm just in time for baby number three to come into their family. At nine years old Pembroke was still a bit more independent than he had been for his first sibling. He was still an attention hound, bombarding everyone he could with all the questions he could come up with. Sometimes on repeat. Luckily he was in school by this point and his energies could be launched at his teachers as much as his parents. |
YEAR 01. | Two years after his youngest sibling came into the family he got his letter to Hogwarts. A real surprise to his father who was a Muggle! His mother then had to explain things to both her husband and to Pembroke, because he was off to Hogwarts now that he was eleven. Happily he had boarded the train and upon arriving at Hogwarts got sorted along with other first years. He was put into Hufflepuff house and immediately decided he loved it. |
YEAR 02. | By his second year he began to show a real aptitude for caring and tending to plants in Herbology. He loved the subject and even took care to grow his very own plants from seeds and put them in the common room so everyone could enjoy them. He especially liked flowers and healing plants, and seemed to be happiest when he could have the flowery scent nearby. |
YEAR 03. | In his third year he was finally able to choose extracurricular classes and go to Hogsmeade with the older students, both of which gave him delight in having the additional freedom. Now that he was a teenager he felt ever so grown up and was looking for more independence which led him to apply as Herbology Club President. Organizing the Club around school classes turned out to be hard since all he wanted to do was tend his plants and be outdoors. |
YEAR 04. | This is the year his younger sibling started their first year and that Pem started to notice other students in a more romantic sense. There was a fair bit of confusion to this, however, as he found himself interested in both the boys and the girls in his peer group. A tad too uncertain in himself, he instead focused on his plants and friends, making no real effort to plan what classes he had signed up for that he would have to take as OWLs next year. |
YEAR 05. | The summer before his fifth year started, he was finally diagnosed with Narcolepsy after years of just falling asleep randomly and it being attributed to ADHD instead. The beginning of his OWL year started off fairly well as he had grown over the summer, finally overcoming some of the girls in his class who he had been behind growth-wise before now. His skills with plants had expanded to all year-appropriate plants, and he had cultivated quite the collection of indoor plants for the Hufflepuff Common room before the summertime started. He aced Herbology, Charms, and Divination, flunking out of Potions and Healing. On the plus side, he had a girlfriend by the end, and that was cool! |
YEAR 06. | Ah sixth year! It started with his girlfriend of the prior year dumping him for another guy, which left him adrift both romantically and academically. The first hint was that he had no idea where he was going after he graduated and knew he had to choose a path before his seventh and final year of school. As a skilled Herbology student, he decided to focus on that primarily as well as just the regular core classes in case he had to take on other jobs in between. His father told him he could always come and work in the construction business with him, a decision he outright said no to. Construction was noisy and destructive, and he would much rather not. |
YEAR 07. | This is the year everything started to come together for Pem. He got together with his first serious boyfriend and things were going great between the two of them. They went on dates frequently, talking about their future jobs and what they would do after school. They even made plans to be together even after they graduated. This turned out to be a great thing because he was driven to do well in all his classes rather than just excelling in only Herbology. So when he took his NEWTs he didn't do nearly as bad as he had thought he would. |
ADULTHOOD. | The plan to move in with his boyfriend came to fruition upon graduation, finding an apartment they could rent together in England to be close to both their Professions. Being good at Herbology, he had decided to start as a Herbology apprentice at a shop before applying to be a teacher. He knew it would take years for him to get the experience he needed, so when he finally got the chance to apply at Hogwarts he was beyond excited. It was just an assistant position, but it would give him plenty of experience to maybe one day take over or even transfer to teach at another school one day. Everything went well for a while before he found out his boyfriend had been cheating on him for the last four years. While he wanted to try and work through their problems, his boyfriend decided that now that Pem knew he could break things off entirely. Heartbroken, he had moved back home to live with his parents for the summer, returning to Hogwarts to do his job without any plans to date for a time. Now that the school year is ending, he has plans to return home and maybe dip into the dating scene again, but first, the Summer Solstice Ball, right? |
Special Situations
Narcolepsy. It took a long time for this diagnosis to come about. He showed signs as early as seven years old but it was always misdiagnosed as other things until he was fifteen years old. The random bouts of him falling asleep have gotten neither better or worse since he was diagnosed and he does his best to manage his symptoms himself with these few tweaks to his nighttime routine:
He also has a prescription of Solriamfetol (Sunosi) he takes daily to try and curb falling asleep for long periods of time during the day.
- Going to sleep at the same time each day
- Avoids having a TV/electronics in the bedroom
- Taking a warm bath or shower before going to bed
- Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine before bed
- Avoiding medications that cause daytime drowsiness such as sedating antihistamines, sedatives and opioid pain relievers.

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?"
