Intro
Hey everyone! I'm Jordan and I'm glad to have been accepted!
I've got Gavin Urquhart here. He was in Slytherin and 1 year below the trio. Though he was never the bully or loudmouthed Slytherin he was house proud and wouldn't let anyone sling mud without throwing some back himself. He was quidditch captain in his 5th year and when Hogwarts was ran by the Death Eaters he made himself a target for Alecto by speaking out against her in Muggle Studies. The result of her constant punishments is that he is now a paranoid schizophrenic. He has been working with Healers to stabilize his mental state and learn to live with it, but he can be easily overwhelmed and shuts down mentally, being bombarded with self imagined voices and fears. Having kept to himself for so long because of the stress of socializing, he is now being encouraged by his Healers to take small steps back to the social world. He'd rather not though.
He is now able to hold a job and works with the Dept. of Magical Games and Sports, paying his own bills and supporting himself without help from his parents or the hospital. Aside from his mental state, Gavin is a determined soul and a great friend to have when you just need to unload and speak the things that are on your mind.
So although he'd rather not, he needs to make friends or reconnect with old friends! He's been given a journal and told to use it, he also frequents the quieter drinking holes after work or anytime his small living space seems to shrink on him and he needs to get out to drink.
So! I suppose those are his two ways of socializing right now!
He has a profile filled out on his journal for more information.
