PERSONALITY:

OBEDIENT. Sometimes, Graham finds it quite hard to refuse people. That's why he always does what she's told. It's not that hard to get him to do a task. But of course, he doesn't say yes to everything. He only agrees to the right things and the things that he knows that will help himself in the long run.

OPTIMISTIC. ]No matter what the situation is, Graham always tries to look on the bright side of things. He always believed that optimism will get you farther than pessimism. In dealing with people, he refuses to believe that even the cruelest of people are simply that; there is always a good trait within each person and maybe it's just buried deep somewhere.

FORGIVING. Graham was never one to hold grudges for a long time, unless of course that person did something really unforgivable. Sure, he'd be mad for a while. But the longest that he would probably last is a week or two. He isn't really capable of hating someone completely, strongly dislike perhaps, but hatred is something he doesn't welcome.

INTROVERTED. Most of the time, Graham prefers to keep to herself. It doesn't come as a surprise when he's spotted alone. If he's not alone, he's only with a handful of people. He was never the type of person who liked hanging out with large crowds. Though Graham isn't exactly the most outgoing person in school, that didn't mean he has trouble making friends or that he had none. He only has a few very close friends.

QUIET. Not only does he prefer to keep to herself, Graham is also quite quiet. Silence was something he always enjoys. In addition, he's also the type of person to keep his opinions to herself, unless asked of course. Although he doesn't say much, he can still hold a nice conversation.

PUSH-OVER. Admittedly and unfortunately, Graham is somewhat of a push-over. As he is overly obedient and forgiving, he's always considered an easy target. It's not an uncommon occurrence for him to be seen on the receiving end of pranks, jokes and taunts. Now that he's been promoted to Head Boy, however, people have started thinking twice. Some still persist though, much to his chagrin.

HISTORY:

The lives of Marvin and Sierra Young were completely normal... by Muggle standards that is. Their love story could be considered a very typical and cliche one. Their respective parents being close friends, the two knew each other since birth. As could be expected, they were attached at the hip and almost literally inseparable. For years, they did everything and went everywhere together. Of course, they went to the same schools from kindergarten to college. To no ones surprise, the pair began dating in high school after years of flirting around and such. Marvin and Sierra were the embodiment of a perfect couple. And that carried on until after their studies. Just a few years after their college graduation and with both of them already working (the former being a renowned lawyer and the latter being a newspaper photographer), a ring was placed on Sierra's finger engaging them to be wed. Everything went off without a hitch, from the ceremony to the honeymoon. When all the festivities were over, they bought a simple suburban home to raise a family. Sierra was announced to be pregnant not long after and (surprise, surprise!) it was a honeymoon baby. Graham, who was named after his paternal grandfather, was soon born. For five years, it was just the three of them living blissfully until Sierra was found to be carrying yet another child, another boy named after the maternal grandfather this time, Caleb.

Basically, the Young family was living as typical, albeit predictable, stereotypical and monotonous, life. That is, until Graham turned eleven.

Everything was perfectly set up for the soon to be eleven year old. He was to have a birthday party with all of his friends and their family invited. The party was a everything Graham wanted and even more. There was a massive cake, tons of presents, excellent food, exciting games and even a clown. But in the middle of the clown's performance, a large barn owl suddenly swooped down in the garden. The kids, along with the adults, believed it was simply part of the act and thought nothing of it. Even the clown went along with it as not to upset the children. But the owl was soon forgotten as it simply just flew away again. No one noticed, however, a thick envelope that was dropped on the pile of gifts. It finally gained attention once all the children were long gone when young Graham was opening his presents. To say that the Young family was shocked was an understatement; rather, they were completely dumbfounded. Initially, they had all thought that it was some mean practical joke and simply decided to ignore it. But as the days passed, owls would deliver letter after letter. Eventually, they had grown to accept the fact: magic was real and Graham was a wizard.

Seven years since that fateful day, the eldest Young child was now on his seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In spite of all the discrimination he went through as a Muggleborn, he worked tirelessly to where he is today: Headboy and an aspiring full fledged wizard.

ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:

What Graham hated most about being Head Boy was patrolling the halls at night. For one thing, he would much rather be asleep at this time rather than going around making sure no troublemakers are lurking. For another thing, while he often preferred to be alone, that wasn't the case at night time. Call him a wuss, but he has a certain phobia of the dark. You never know what's hiding in the shadows waiting to pounce. Perhaps it was a result of being a Muggle and growing up with the belief that anything supernatural does not exist. So although he is fully aware that ghosts and such do exist (and even befriended quite a few), he still couldn't shake off the fear of the dark. If he's lucky, he would have the company of the Head Girl or a prefect. On the nights he was unfortunate enough to be alone, he just had to settle for lighting his wand.

Plus, Graham also found patrolling the halls quite pointless. Seldom would he catch a student out of bed, with the exception of himself and the rest of the prefects. And maybe if there were some lurking troublemakers, they were exceptionally stealthy. Not that he minded in the slightest really. He preferred not to catch anyone actually. Catching someone would result to punishment, usually detention or some docked points. Admittedly, he disliked giving out punishment for something as trivial as being out of bed after curfew. Graham tried to be as lenient as possible. Unfortunately for him, however, hardly anyone would take him seriously. He was always deemed to be too nice and whatnot. Sometimes, he wondered why Headmaster Hawkins had picked him to be Head Boy. Maybe there was no one else, but he hated to be thought as the last resort.

After searching through some of the upper floors of the castle, the Hufflepuff deemed his job to be completed. In the past hour of patrolling, he hadn't encountered anyone other than the Fat Friar (who had joyfully immersed him in conversation, delaying him a bit) and a few house-elves doing some last minute cleaning. Surely, there wouldn't be anyone else walking along the halls. Finally resigning himself for the night, he descended a number of staircases into the corridor just below the Great Hall. He was quite tempted to sneak into the kitchens, which was a few paintings away from the Hufflepuff Cellar entrance, but his drowsiness was a tad bit more powerful than his hunger. Food would just have to wait until tomorrow morning. Tiredly, he walked past the painting of the bowl of fruit and entered into the familiar common room. There were still a handful of his house mates lounging around in the fat armchairs but he paid no attention to them. All Graham had on his mind was the four posted bed waiting for him in the dormitory.
