Biography: (300 words minimum.)
Fletcher was the son of the wandmaker Charles Grimwood, founder of Grimwood Wands in Salem. He aspires to do the same as his father, carrying on his work and making the Grimwood name prominent in the states. Although his family is in America, he was sent to study at Hogwarts, with his relatives. Fletcher was gladly sorted into Slytherin, as he aspired to continue his family's business. He was mocked and harassed by other students for being a halfblooded slytherin, but he remained neutral, not giving in to their wish to see him upset. He tried explaining that it was his grandfather's grandmother who was a muggle, but even only one muggle in the family tree was enough for them. After 2 years, they stopped, and he went about the rest of his years at Hogwarts near professors. Fletcher enjoyed the company of professors not because of safety in their watch, but because of their knowledge, whether it be about the class material or not. He wound up staying in Europe due to his father's request to try and set up another shop. Fletcher's elder brother, Benjamin, was sent by their father to set up shop and teach Fletcher how to make wands. He mostly learned about mundane and magical woods, and the ties between the wand and the master. Fletcher has done many studies on mixtures of mundane and magical woods, mostly ending in slight injury and lectures from his brother. Curiosity has always been something that drives him away from the practiced tradition. His father is very appreciative of his drive to create and to explore possibilities, but also tells him the importance of the past. Fletcher and his brother ran an unpopular wand shop in an off kilter town of little relevance to either of them. The two of them continued to promote their work and advertise the Grimwood name, encouraging new wand owners to explore their options, and to trust their instinct. Fletcher was on his way to wandmaking glory.

Option Two -
The snow had been falling steadily all morning and it didn't look like it was going to stop any time soon. Joshua Campbell scrunched his face up in a frown as he lifted his gaze to look to the sky. Snow. It really was quite a bother.

And it certainly didn't make it better that Diagon Alley seemed to be getting more and more crowded. Joshua sighed and pointed his wand at the large box that was currently placed on the doorstep of his shop. He had to get going. He had an order to deliver.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" The elderly man muttered and watched the box hover in the air for a moment. Honestly, did St. Mungo's really need that much tinsel? And with glitter of all things? He sighed again. If it hadn't been for the rather convincing stamp on the order, he would have been likely to believe it had been a prank by one of those orphaned rascals living up there. 

Oh well, there was no point in waiting. Joshua deftly stirred the box down the doorstep and out onto the street, carefully levitating it above the heads of the crowd.

"Coming through! Coming through!" His voice sounded over the chatter of the crowd. "Keep out! Move ahead! Go on!" This was going way too slow. People were in the way and walking like they had all day! He huffed. Luckily the road was down hill.

"Coming through! Coming th--- arrrgh!" Joshua let out a loud shout as his feet suddenly slipped in the snow and sent him, the box, and several long strands of tinsel tumbling into the person who had been walking in front of him.

"For Merlin's sake!" Joshua muttered angrily as he hurried to his feet again, red and gold tinsel now decorating his black coat. "I am so sorry! This blasted snow!" He looked apologetic at the person he had crashed into.

Roleplay Response:
Fletcher stood in place, looking down at the now glittering and tinsel covered black felt overcoat. He looked at the man who fell into him, hearing his apology.

"Oh, its no bother, please, allow me to help." He held out his hand to assist Joshua. He saw that he was bothered by the fall, and brushing off the glitter and tinsel would have made them both feel worse.

"The name is Fletcher, Fletcher Grimwood. Pleasure to uh, bump into you, shall I say." Fletcher made an attempt at playing off the incident with humor, but visibly cringes from his own lack of hilarity.
