Biography:

“Jag vill inte gå!”

The little boy felt his mother pull him closer into her warm arms. The snow was up to his knee’s and he was so very tired of pulling himself through it. His mother smiled, a beautiful, honest smile and kissed his forehead.

“Merlyn, little godis.” She paused, speaking to him in both English and Swedish. He hated English and didn’t want to learn. English meant London and he did not want to think about leaving Jormvattnet. It was his home in the mountains. His safe home, where he didn’t need to go off to some silly school to learn magic tricks.

If his aunt got her way, he would have gone to that big school. What was it called? Oh, Hogwarts. He grimaced slightly. Stupid curtains catching on fire… if that never happened then he wouldn’t of gotten the stupid letter that practically ruined his little heaven up in the snowy peaks. His aunt was a magic woman as well and she insisted that he go and live with her in London. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth as the train whistled.

His mother kissed his cheeks again before landing one last kiss on the tip of his nose.

“You will like it there. You will make new friends and maybe like this school.” Her English was rusty, however just the sound of his mother’s voice was soothing.

“Mamma… No. I, I need to stay and protect you!”

She smiled, her cheeks red from the cold.

“Pappa will watch over me. I will write you letters, yes?”

He nodded, still pouting. Before taking his bag from his mother. He had been told his instructions numerous times now. He was to board the train and not get off until his aunt picks him up from the carriage. He was not to wander around or bother other people, only sit and ask politely when he was hungry. His father had sent him off with some pounds, which were rather strange to the boy, but he accepted the foreign currency with foreboding and bid his father goodbye.

“Run along now, älskling. Jag älskar dig!”

Merlyn nodded and trotted onto the train, his eyes watering slightly as he watched his mother wave. He wiped his nose on his sleeve before setting down where the train lady told him too. He didn’t talk to her, she smiled too much and gestured for him to sit near the door. He preferred that. At least he wouldn’t have to look far when he left.

The train ride was extremely long and he had to take numerous stops before he met his aunt. The two then took a ferry to England while Merlyn sulked and decided to ignore her. She was the lady who took him away from his family, so why should he have to be nice to her? Merlyn bit his lip and tended to trail away from his aunt as much as possible. He didn’t want to be around her and tried to show it. His aunt was responsible for making his life absolutely miserable, so she deserved to be ignored; it was the only reasonable thing to do.

He nodded, yes, ignoring was good.

The ride from the harbor back to the manor was horrible, Auntie Lou tried her best to make conversation in English so Merlyn thought it would be funny to speak Swedish to her, she smiled and nodded a lot which annoyed him even more. He didn’t like how happy she was, as if they would became a happy little family and he would be the perfect little son. However, little did Merlyn know, the woman already had children, but they were hell's creatures.

The moment they arrived, four children stood and lined up, saluting to the car and Merlyn felt a sickening feeling in his stomach. Two boys around the same height, opened the door and hugged their mother before taking Merlyn’s hand and shaking it, one of the boys squeezed it harder then Merlyn would have liked and smirked at him, a twinkle in his icy eyes which alarmed the smaller boy. Both of the older boys were much bigger and they intimidated him.

A girl bounded up towards him and pulled him into her arms. She smelled nice and Merlyn felt instantly comforted when she spoke.

“Hej! I’m so glad to have you here! Finally I have a little brother”

She spoke Swedish! Thank Baldur and Loki and whoever else was up there! His shoulders sagged immediately and a small smile formed on his lips. He looked down shyly before glancing back up at her. She was so pretty with warm brown eyes and long brown hair that framed her face nicely. She looked like his mother and he instantly felt drawn to her.

“Aww, I thought you loved having two older brothers, dear Sonja.”

Merlyn glanced at the boys again with the identical grins. They both had dark hair and icy blue eyes that seemed to stare at him with hospitality. He shrunk back and took a step towards Sonja. The tension seemed to spark in the air and Auntie Lou noticed.

“Ok, dearies! Oskar! Hampus! Carry the bags inside. Take Merlyn’s bag to his new bedroom." She paused before adding, "And be nice!”

“Yes, ma’am.” They replied simultaneously before glancing at Merlyn one last time.  He shivered and made a mental note to ignore those two and avoid them as much as possible.

“Those are the twins, they’re not so bad once you get to know them. Don’t worry, Merry.” He smiled and looked up at Sonja again. Only his mother called him Merry, however he didn’t feel at all discomforted by it, actually, he felt better. He didn’t notice the other girl in front of him until she hugged him.

“Merry! Merry!”

She was little and he looked down at her, she was a pretty little thing with large green eyes and light hair. He smiled and held out his hand to her. She glanced at him before pulling him into her arms again (Well, as much as a little girl could) He smiled and entered the manor, finding his room with ease and feeling pleasure that Sonja’s room wasn’t far from his. Although, the twins were nearby, he shrugged it off and settled in.

Charms school was fun. Sonja still insisted that he come to Hogwarts, however he preferred to learn a bit more before being completely overwhelmed by a whole school filled with magical people. He made a friend, an English boy named William who dreamed of attending a bigger school, his parents just seemed to think he needed some time in a smaller school, just as Merry thought.

The year went pleasantly, not as bad as he thought it would be. The twins tried to make his life a living hell, but Sonja seemed to protect him and fend the boys off. He agreed to attend Hogwarts for his second year and planned on going. The time came for him to finally make the tip to Diagon Alley and get his things. Auntie let him get a pretty little cat, which he named Katya. She was pretty with a little white nose and tabby pelt.

Sonja seemed thrilled introducing him to all her friends, which for some reason just poked at him and pulled his cheeks for some reason. They called him cute a lot and he blushed more then he should off. Oskar and Hampus tried to dare him to go into Knockturn alley, which was scary, but he managed to avoid them and run to the nearest bookstore. Little Lottie smiled a lot and held his hand but for the most time was in Auntie Lou’s arms while she chatted with her lady friends.

Sonja bought him ice-cream later and some sweets in a nearby store. He was impressed by all the different types of sweets and sadly fell victim to try a cockroach cluster, Oskar said it tasted like custard, which was a horrible lie! They went home that evening and Merry felt rather excited about Hogwarts and hoped that he wouldn’t be to intimidated, but then again, these kids couldn’t be worse then the twins?

Right?

Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Hufflepuff

Personality:

Merry is a rather timid boy.

He likes to be alone, however finds that hard due to having the twins constantly on his back. He has learned to fight them off but prefers to hide more then confront them. He’s needy and will seek companions who aren’t top energetic and filled with energy. He likes silence and enjoys to sit somewhere under a tree to read or study. He isn’t exactly a genius, but he tries, he really tries but doesn’t succeed much when it comes to high grades.

He’s very sweet and speaks with manners and eloquence taught to him but his adoptive sister, Sonja. He has an excellent taste in clothing and spends more time then he should in front of a mirror and a wardrobe then a thirteen year old boys should really. He’ll gossip with his sister rather then play football with the boys and tends to actually avoid activities that involve him getting muddy or injured in any way.

He’s slightly sensitive and cries easily, which annoys him a lot, but he cant really help it. Thins hurt him easier then they hurt others.

He’s a bit of a baby, but Oskar and Hampus are breaking it out of him.


Appearance:
Merry is short and skinny.

He has not body muscle and is really as breakable as a stick. He’s small for his age and is probably shorter then most of the girls in his year, which is really embarrassing to him. He’ll try to stretch himself out and stand as tall as he possibly can. He’d try high heels if it weren’t for the twins who’d bash his head in for it.

Merry has large doe like brown eyes filled with curiosity and caution. He has dimples when he smiles and tends to blush often. He has smooth large lips, which is usually curved upwards unless he’s afraid of something, then he’ll just whimper. He has rosy cheeks and tends to think its from all the pinching everyone seems to do to him…

He has hair that just passes his ear lopes it brown curls and eyebrows to match. He’s likes his hair and tends to style it quite often, glimpsing himself in a mirror every now and then to check if everything’s still in place.


→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Merry did not like Quidditch, absolutely not.

He had played once during summer and ended up in the hospital wing after landing on his backside from falling off his broom from a rather demeaning height. It was the first and the last time he played. Of course, Oskar and Hampus tried to get him on a broom again, he refused and kindly told them to go suck on a boot. He then sulked in the kitchens until the early hours of the morning.

Sonja had tried, of course, and he had been extremely careful not to agree. She had a way to make him do things, however Quidditch really wasn’t on his list of to do things. He didn’t want to die just yet and besides, falling to his death didn’t seem fun. He much rather die peacefully as an old person sitting with lots of cats, not a wife, but lots and lots of cats.

That sounded rather pleasing.

He slunk into the main hall and glanced around. Lottie was sitting with some first years and he decided not to intrude. All her friends seemed to looked at him strangely and they really scared him. Little girls ad their ways. He didn’t understand but knew that if he sat down, he would be subjected to a makeover.

He wanted to leave and decided that it would be better then sitting with the twins (Their company was never an option, just a bad idea.) He turned around before a boy seemed to whoosh past him. He scowled and felt the urge to scold him. But he was all dirty and he’d rather not be around someone like that. But then again, something looked wrong and he wouldn’t leave a boy in distress all alone.

“Thor hjälp mig” Me muttered before speeding up slightly, “HEY!” He called but the boy didn’t stop.

Suddenly he whirled around and Merry suddenly regretted his decision.

"WHAT! Haven't you ever seen a loser before? Why don't you just take a picture!"

“Calm down… Goodness, boy… It’s just a stupid game, don’t take it seriously…”

He shrugged and gave a crooked smile.
