Biography: (100 words minimum.)Noel was trouble from the start. His mother (Eliza) had a rough pregnancy with him that revealed beyond a doubt that this father (Bancroft) was a giant - a detail slipped in her complaints and related medical issues. Bancroft had to deal with the fact he’d lied and said his height was due to a potions accident at the same time as dealing with Eliza having a tough pregnancy. It was a time that his parents had a mutual agreement not to bring up as his mother thought Bancroft’s lie about not being a giant should have stopped decades prior. It only lead to arguments and everyone, including Noel, knew better than to mention it.
Noel was supposed to be born in February, but his mothers Christmas stress turned into the beginning of her labor with him being born Christmas Day. His mother’s reaction to that was to joke that he wanted to be named after her sister Noelle - who died in the war prior to his birth.
Taking Eliza joke seriously Bancroft dutifully put the name Noel Orville Carlisle on the paperwork at the hospital to be his name. A detail that Eliza only found out about a couple years later filling out some official paperwork and laughed. He was supposed to be named Orville Richard Carlisle after Eliza’s grandfather and Bancroft’s father.
What he knows of his early childhood is a series of funny stories told by his parents and their friends about him.
Eliza apparently bought him all clothes that were the largest size for baby fashion and then transfigured them to be smaller. With more than one time those clothes having the transfigurations wear off causing awkward situations. His favorite of these stories being the time he crawled out of them at a family party.
Bancroft apparently accidentally left him on a box of wizarding fireworks and he pulled on it enough to open the box and somehow ended up triggering one of them. Thankfully, while it caused a mess of the warehouse knocking things over, he somehow bounced a bit with a giggle as he hit the floor. Then stumbled his first steps going after the bright charmed firework that had the shape of a dragon before his father picked him up and put it out.
Noel’s first memory is the time that someone yelled enough at his father for being a giant and further soiling wizarding blood by having him. It was the only time he saw his father pull a wand on someone and silenced them. Spells were shot back and forth before his father apparated away. Noel recounts the adventure, play-by-play minus the big adult words, any time he is given the opportunity as wizard duels are the coolest thing ever to him.
Noel loves splitting his time living in both England and France. Something his mother uses to her advantage in just switching places for a bit when Noel’s pranking gets him into too much trouble so she can pretend to punish him for it - even if she slightly encourages it.
The worst of pranks he’s pulled is setting off a charmed star firework that turns into an angle in the air during the Christmas tree lighting in the Alps magical village they have their second home in. If he weren’t six he probably would have been arrested by the Auror’s office for setting it off so close to people - instead his parent’s French warehouse was raided and multiple products were taken. It was the only time his mother got truly mad at him. Then his father stepped in and pointed out while they lost stuff it was the best advertising for their products in years.
The encouragement for pranks only got worse, but both his parents set limits and ensured that he wasn’t able to reach the more dangerous products that Mallory Prank Supply produced.
Roleplay Response:He had seen a few boys flying on their brooms and immediately ran to his fathers friend house, who was babysitting him, and begged to borrow a broom. After a small amount of begging and they handed him one of the full sized brooms figuring he’d do less damage on a broom than if he got in his mind to prank someone. Even though he was eight he weighed too much to use the child brooms.
He then ran back to the park excited with a broom in hand hoping the boys he saw in the air would let him join in.
”…Do you want to play?”Before he could get in the air he saw the girl who was obviously not in the air and likely closer to him in age. He hadn’t noticed her before just having had noticed the boys who were flying in the air.
He said “ Sure, you want to fly with me. An extra set of hands to get that snitch I see up there wouldn’t hurt. “ As he could recognize a toy broom when he saw one and knew it was useless. Looking at the boys he realized he was likely their size or bigger so if he girl agreed all he’d have to do is fly after the snitch. Then he could have her grab the snitch while he nudged the other boys out of the way with there combined weight on the broom.
