Growing up in the London slums, Orpheus always knew he was magic, but never really understood what that meant. He also knew he was different. The way people looked at him—witch, wizard, and muggle alike—was something that he was almost oblivious to, if it hadn’t been for the way his mother stiffened at the way people sometimes addressed her.

In second-hand, hand-me-down clothes, Orpheus was just as happy as any boy could be. For the most part, he couldn’t fully understand what was going on, but he could recognize that something about him was of particular interest to other people.

When other people weren’t around, he didn’t much concern himself with the thoughts of it. Instead, he was happy to play with his siblings and his cousins. A lot of them lived in the same house. It was small, and cramped, and only Artemis had her own room, though it was the size of a closet.

And Orpheus never complained. He was happy. He was home.

It was sad to him when his siblings and his cousins went away to that school they all went to. Slowly, his house began to feel emptier and lonelier, and he attached to his cousin Tristan, the smarter of the two of them.

Patrick had told him he was too dumb to get into Hogwarts, and so when it came time, he worried he might not receive his letter. It wasn’t that he wanted to go, but more that he didn’t want to be left all alone. So when his letter arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief.

No more empty bedrooms.

Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Wandering the dungeons, Orpheus hadn’t heard the legends. He didn’t know what to expect besides dank and dark. One of his cousins had told him to go down there, and so he went, without really knowing why. For the most part, he did what he was told without asking too many questions. Why would someone want to lead him wrong, especially someone in his family?

It was a bit dark, and Orpheus had a little trouble seeing clearly, so he wasn’t completely surprised when he ran into something hard. He hissed and moaned with the pain, hopping away from the obstruction, as he continued on.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

Orpheus stopped dead in his tracks for a moment and his brow furrowed. The voice worried him, not because he was afraid of some spectre, but because he thought this Emma Birch might be someone harmful, and the girl seemed strained. Poking his head out from behind a corner, he saw a girl he recognized from the sort and knew her to be one of his fellow classmates. It didn’t matter to Orpheus that he didn’t know her one bit. She could be his friend, if she wanted.

“Hi,” he said, brightly, stepping out into the low light of the dungeon. “What are you doing?” he asked innocently. “You waiting on someone?” He approached, remarking nonchalantly, “That’s kind of a weird way to ask if your friend is here though.” Despite being unable to work out what it was about the question that seemed so off, Orpheus knew that something about it was strange. Shrugging it off, he decided maybe this girl was just a little weird. He could handle weird.

“I’m Orpheus.”
