Okay, Alison persuaded me to do it, and I deliver. Absolutioneers, meet Henry Gordon Cresswell.
For those of you who were in May 02, Henry is the same as he ever was, only he's a Gryffindor now. For those who are only meeting him for the first time, here's a few facts:
* Son of Muggleborn Dirk Cresswell and Pureblood Claire Max, both Hufflepuffs. Dirk was Head of the Goblin Liaison Office at the Ministry and a former Slug Club member, was on the run alongside Dean, and was eventually killed by Snatchers. Claire came from a purist family, was disowned for marrying Dirk, but was eventually welcomed back by her brother when he became head of the family.
* Sixth year Gryffindor prefect. He's as clueless over being made prefect as he is over being sorted into Gryffindor - but still, he tries to get the job done
and deal with Romilda.
* He's very sweet and shy, and very hardworking, and would have fit quite well in his parents' house. Still, he likes it at Gryffindor and gets along well with everybody there (or tries, anyway) even if he lacks the boisterousness of the average Gryff.
* Last year was a very difficult time for him, as he was worried sick about his dad's whereabouts and was torn between hiding from the Carrows and the IS (being the son of a known Muggleborn on the run is almost the same as having "hex here" tattooed on his forehead) and doing his duties as a prefect. His brother's attitude didn't help things.
* Speaking of his brother, he's Chase Cresswell, seventh year Ravenclaw. Chase has been angry at the world ever since Dirk disappeared, and got even worse when they got news that he had been killed. Henry, on the other hand, is trying to cope by trying to make his dad proud.
* Henry is bi, but he's still a bit uncertain about how he feels and what he likes. He hasn't told anyone about it, though.
* And, as a bit of trivia, I was rereading his app for May 02, and realized that I had put Logan Lerman as a second PB option for him. Small world.
That's the boy in a nutshell. Go
here for his bio.
Sooooo, questions, comments, plots?
PS: I keep forgetting you guys aren't clairvoyants. *shakes head* This is Patricia. Hi! *waves*
