Biography
A late night in the end of October Geryon was brought into this world, as the first child of Nicor and Lilith Crowley. They had now fulfilled their duty of bringing the pure blood of their family to the next generation, and that was pretty much all the child was to them â a mission accomplished. The boy was brought up by servants of their home, and to him it felt just as normal as anything. He was an heir, and his parents had obligations and busy lives. And so did he. Homeschooling started early so the child would be prepared to bring his family honor when reaching school age. Geryon was obedient and bright, always finding an answer â even when he wasnât sure what the question really was. There was always a way to talk oneself out of things. But he wanted to learn, and magic was fun.
When he became of age his letter from Hogwarts arrived. With the heavy weight of his familyâs expectations the boy was relieved when he was put in Slytherin, as the hat also had mentioned Gryffindor. One obstacle climbed, but still many to go. One day of spring in his 3rd year Geryon found an injured crow on his way back from Hogsmeade. The animal touched something deep inside of the boyâs soul and he decided to care for it as best as he could. Making a comfortable place for it, well hidden on the castle grounds, Geryon now had a friend who he went to see whenever he could. It was both feelings of great sadness and great joy when the day came where the bird once again spread its wings and flew off, never to return. From that moment the Crowley boyâs intense interest for Transfiguration grew and he set a goal for himself â to one day become an Animagus.
He wouldnât tell anyone, but all his free time got devoted to master the skill. Finally he succeeded, at the age of 20. The form he took was just like the one who lit the fire in his heart; a crow.
With his greatest goal now achieved it was time to move on to the next chapter. After completing his studies at Hogwarts Geryon moved forward, studying Magizoology and finally earning his Mazoologist title. For one last time Geryon took advantage of the family wealth and opened his own shop; Crowley Creatures â basically a pet shop with a great variety of animals. His love for the creepy, uncommon and rare ones started getting him into trouble with many - particularly the Ministry, from an early point. Not all the creatures Geryon would house and/or sell fit inside the rules and regulations, and his shop nearly got shut down multiple times. Luckily the man always seemed to talk himself out of the worst trouble, and ended up paying a large number of fines instead.
Yes, he had promised both himself and his family that he would never come back, asking for money â especially after he started getting into all sorts of trouble, and dishonoring the family name â which even forced him to change his shopâs name to Crowâs Creatures. But it was a hard promise to keep. Dark and shady business started to get tempting...
