Biography:
Gabriel's life had been full of disappointment, since the day he had been born in America. Birthed to teenagers, the young boy had a rough road from the beginning. Jace and Betty had been deeply shocked, and somewhat confused, as he turned one and first began displaying his special abilities -- starting with the disappearance of his favorite blanket,which led to minutes of screams until it appeared again.

  Just as they came to terms with the strange occurrences happening whenever their son was around, Gabe's parents were caught in a strange green fire that engulfed the house entirely, just as he was returning with his maternal grandmother.That period of his life was dark and depressing, taking his parents death incredibly hard. So, it was then that the seven year old lived with that Grandma Lynn for two years in England until she passed away due to a heart condition.

It seemed as if death surrounded him, never to relinquish its grasp.

Seeing as how the woman was the last living relative of the Thomas', the young wizard was shipped off to an orphanage in Hogsmeade, away from everything he had ever known. It was there that he met Piper, ironically a girl he had met back in America but had long forgotten about. They had grown close over those two years, stealing and causing trouble together. Once more orphans came, it started to feel like he had a family again.

Once he turned 11, the boy had begun schooling at Hogwarts, and he had begun to find his purpose. With the gang of orphans on his side, Gabe even went as far as saying he was feeling happy. For the first time in a long time. And with the beginning of a new term, he felt anxious as the time dwindled down to when it was time to graduate. He had no idea what he wanted to do, but...he knew it had to be something. And if he friends stuck by his side, Gabe would surely figure it out in no time.


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

House Request: Gryffindor

Personality:
Gabriel is somewhat of a show off, always the first to try something new, without fear of consequence. Without a doubt, he is someone you want to be friends with, not just because of his infectious laughter and positive personality, but also because he tends to be fiercely protective of those he considers his close friends. Loyalty is very huge to him, and betrayals nearly break him. He doesn't give second chances, and won't hesitate to put someone in their place.

Appearance:
Having just hit a growth spurt, Gabe now stands at 5'10. Though he is strong, the teen looks lanky, something Piper never lets him forget. Sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes, he looks like the typical American. (in his own mind) He almost always has a crooked grin on his face or a serious grimace in other cases, though mostly made in a joking manner. On his side, there is an eight inch scar that runs vertically.

Option I:

The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.

A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.

The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.

Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.

Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.

If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.

Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.

"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.



The girl just wasn't going to make it. There was no way she was going to complete the somewhat daunting task. Those horrendous girls set the first year up to fail, and he couldn't stand to watch. He had originally assumed the girl just wouldn't do it, until of course he heard the echos of being kicked out of her house. He nearly snorted from his presence in the shadows but had to stop himself in fear of doubling over in laughter.

Instead, he opted to stealthily follow her down to the dungeons, just in case one of the snakes attempted to scare her. Hazel hues watched on as she wandered further into the corridor and once she began speaking aloud, he spoke up.

"You know they can't kick you out of your house, right?" he grinned, as he continued taking steps until reaching her side. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to. But it'd be a lot cooler if you did."

Definitely good motivation, right?
