DARIUS ARTURIUS DEMETRIUS III*
Fifth year, Fifteen years old
representing Hufflepuff, bearing a 9.5 in, core of porlock fur, made of pine & slightly swishy wand
Darius is a lanky boy, not tall for his age, but all limbs. He has dark brown hair with red tints and highlights,and keeps it at a short shag. He has green eyes and a small button of a nose That has just a smidgen of freckling. Darius has Bulked up through farm living and lifting weights, as part of his training regime to be the best beater he can. Farm living has kept him fit and strong with no baby fat left.
Growing up has been full of life lessons for Darius, even at ten he was a fount of useful horticulture knowledge from working on a farm. Though it hadn't been easy. He isn't allowed to practice magic at home with his mom being a strict puritan woman. His dad gave up magic entirely to be with her and doesn't have time to teach Darius, but he did convince Darius' mom that going to Hogwarts would be good for him. He even convinced her to go to the world cup once, and while the seats were not very good by the end Darius' mom was cheering as if it were soccer, though she'll never admit it.
Darius is obsessed with quidditch in general and beaters specifically. He wants nothing so badly as to join his house team, and eventually become a professional beater himself.
If you ask Darius though even it the drawbacks of his moms restrictions on magic at home, he couldn't be happier with their simple life. He has grown into a very hard working young man and already knows the value of labor and "An honest days wages for an honest days work." as his father puts it. and though life on the farm may be sparse when it comes to luxuries, he has never been in want. Darius is laid back and easy going. He doesn't ask for much or expect much from others. He has spent his formative years growing up on a his families small farm, and though magic was not expressly forbidden, it was never accepted in place of hard work. This has lead to him learning early on in his childhood that effort is rewarded.
A coal black ferret with Emerald green eyes named "Hero" is his pet.
