Name: Oscar Kettlewell
Age: 17
Year: 7th year
House: Slytherin
Wand type: 12 inches, made of Walnut with a core of Runespoor Fang.
Appearance: Oscar was the typical blonde, blue eyed boy who grew into a man in his early teens. He's tall at about 6'2, but lean and lithe.
Personality: Oscar is confident to the point of being obnoxious, but he's not
completely unlikeable; he's an attentive student, he gets especially good grades in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and was made a prefect. He's adventurous and almost fearless - he aches to explore the lake and the Forbidden Forest.
History: Oscar's family is pureblooded and fairly wealthy. His father works within the Ministry of Magic - all he will ever reveal about his job is that it's 'important' - and his mother is something of a socialite within the Wizarding world - if there is noteworthy gossip, she will know about it within the hour. Oscar is their only child and, therefore, the onus is on him to continue the family's pureblood legacy.
Strengths: He's good at both hexes and counter-hexes (although Hogwarts don't teach much about the former) and he's often told that he'd make a good auror, if he doesn't discover dark magic, first. Oscar's a bold, almost reckless flier, and the trait has earned him the spot of Seeker on Slytherin's Quidditch team.
Weaknesses: Oscar either doesn't posses any common sense or simply neglects to use it, and it's not unusual for him to find himself losing ten points for Slytherin for being out of bed past curfew or exploring restricted areas of the castle.
Likes: He has a morbid fascination with hexes and curses - his father has stacks and stacks of books detailing ancient hexes (Oscar can only assume that they have something to do with his job) and Oscar has read them all twice over. He also enjoys reading books about the inept weapons of the Europe-wide war which is occurring in the Muggle world - it's like learning about a primitive peoples.
Dislikes: He's a sore loser and hates to be beaten at Quidditch, he once threatened to bludgeon a beater with his own bat after losing a match.
Pet: He has a lethargic toad named Croak who was a gift from his grandmother.
Other: He is a Slytherin prefect, although he's not overly fond of younger students. He's the seeker of the Slytherin team.
