■ INTELLIGENTGrayson is highly intelligent. He can remember obscure facts he has read before, and has a near-photographic memory for anything related to the study of history and its related subjects. ■ FORGETFULGrayson is also extremely forgetful. He gets wrapped up in his studies and sometimes forgets to do things like meetings, dates, sleep, food... He truly personifies the absent-minded professor in this manner and has to remember to write things down. Sometimes he forgets to do just that though... ■ DEVOTEDWhatever the case, Grayson's devoted to his passions. He can keep his attention on these things a lot easier than other subjects, and sometimes gets so wrapped up in them that he forgets about anything else. ■ QUIETBecause of his near-obsession with anything in his field of study, Grayson is rather quiet and would rather have a quiet night in rather than go out and do things. The only exception would be when he happens to speak of anything related to history. You usually can't get him to shut up about it. ■ STUDIOUSGrayson is rather studious, and when not teaching you can find him in the library or his office reading up on topics that interest him. It started when he was younger, and despite no longer being in school, he still enjoys learning new things. ■ SERIOUSAt the end of the day, Grayson does take his job of teaching his subject seriously. He tries to make it as engaging as he possibly can for students, and feels as though he's failed them when they don't do well.

CHILDHOODMy past actually rather boring, at least to most people. I was born into a muggle family, and when it was discovered I was a wizard, well, let's just say that it explained a lot about the odd things about me.
SCHOOL YEARS I attended Hogwarts, where despite Professor Binn's rather dry recounting about history, I became interested in what he was teaching. So I decided to research the subject myself. Completely fascinating stuff, honestly! The things past wizards and witches have done are incredible! And how other races have interacted with us... Oh, I'm going on about history again, aren't I? By the time I was in my seventh year I had become Head Boy and was ready to graduate one of the top of my class.
POST GRADUATIONNeedless to say, once I graduated from Hogwarts, I decided to take a trip around the world to visit some of these old sites, and truly delve myself into the past. It has always amazed me as to how ancients used to live and work, and to see it in person? I... I should keep on topic, yes? Anyway, I decided to return to Hogwarts and teach that which I truly love.
Well, my time in Hogwarts was truly interesting. Teaching, that is. I seem to have a controversial class, though it's history, there's notmuch controvery there, only facts. I met several professors, one of whom took a fancy to me. I also fell into a coma when I was thirty-nine and missed an entire school year. Needless to say, my time here hasn't been dull.

■ ATHLETICJoel is a very active individual, more apt to be out there and doing something. He is constantly playing sports as a result, and one of his favourites is football. He also as a result has a bit of a competitive streak, making him a bit cocky when it comes to sports. ■ FRIENDLYDespite his cockiness, Joel happens to be a friendly individual. He's always willing to make friends, and has a ready smile on his face when he meets new people. His friendliness doesn't make him any less awkward than other people, however, he is willing to make the attempt to interact with people rather than avoid them. ■ INTELLIGENTContrary to the stereotypical dumb jock role, Joel is quite intelligent. While not nearly as intelligent as his cousin, he however is bright enough to ease through his lessons without too much difficulty. Thankfully he does not have his cousin's single-minded focus. ■ ADVENTUROUSJoel is also adventurous. He has no problem with exploring things he has never been around, and will actively search out excitement in his life. This however can get him into trouble since he could run across things he isn't prepared to deal with. ■ CONFIDENTHe is also confident, without thankfully the problem of being conceited. He will admit when he has gone overboard and will admit his faults, however, what he is good at he knows and isn't afraid of his abilities. ■ COURAGEOUSPerhaps because of it all, Joel is brave. He isn't afraid to take chances and step in the way if he needs to. He also believes that if he doesn't, then something worse might come around.

CHILDHOODJoel is the son of Watson and Fiona Powell. He grew up in London, and had a pretty average childhood, up until he discovered sports. He found he was quite a natural at football, and joined up with the youth team in his school, becoming one of their best midfielders. He also dabbled in cricket and rugby, and was being considered for the National Under-16 team when he found out one thing that caused his dreams of being a footballer crashing down. He was a wizard, like his cousin. Unfortunately, this came at the heels of his parents dying in a car accident, and Joel had to move in with his cousin. While Joel is disappointed about the events, he however is interested in finding out just what being a wizard is like.
SCHOOL YEARS
FIRST YEARWell, first year was interesting. Made it onto my house team as a reserve, and hopefully will make it again. Also, I met a few kids in my year that seem cool. However, one thing I didn't care for was that my cousin seems to be well, dotty I believe is the best way to put it. SECOND YEARSecond year wasn't too bad. I was again on the quidditch team as a reserve, and the school year was relatively quiet. I say relatively as a loose term, since at the end of the year, someone attacked Hogsmeade. I wasn't around for it, but Ivy and several of my friends were. I was instead stuck up in the castle since I was leaving with Grayson and Amata later. THIRD YEAROkay, third year just sucked. Since Julius died over the summer from the attack on Hogsmeade, Pru was made captain of the quidditch team. The team then proceeded to act like they were, well, I just can't describe them. I was named vice captain, and now I've got to figure out how to help get the quidditch team actually functional, which means we're probably going to be looking at a new team. Considering that the more experienced players never even showed up for games, that shouldn't be too hard, sadly. FOURTH YEARFifth year wasn't that bad for me. We finally got a working quidditch team, even if we only won one game. However, I'm confident that we'll do better next year. The Valentine's Masquerade I ended up hanging out with Matilda Collins, a girl a year younger that I met earlier in the school year when we got off the train. We had fun at least. FIFTH YEARFifth year was a mess of studying for exams, doing my best to try to get Gryffindor's team working, and dealing with a crush I started having on Mattie. It was awkward, at least when she seemed to get emotional about not being able to see me last year. I mean, I like her, but I just got nervous about asking her about seeing each other afterward. We went on at least one outing together, and that wasn't so bad. SIXTH YEARInformation SEVENTH YEARInformation

QUICK-WITTED xxx»» Amata has always been quick on the draw; she's rather on the sarcastic side, and always seems to have a quip ready whenever she needs one. She's rather smart, something which often surprises people for some reason she can't fathom. She has always considered herself to be a bit of a brain, though she's hardly the smartest person she knows.
PASSIONATE xxx»» Amata tends to take an idea and run with it; she gets very invested in things and can often seem a bit over the top. Sometimes her passion can seem to border on obsessive. She believes in dedicating herself wholeheartedly to any endeavor, which can at times get her into trouble or hurt. She's become a little more guarded in regards to her personal life in recent years, but that single-mindedness remains even there, she's just more careful about what she allows herself to focus it on.
SINCERE xxx»» One of the things that Amata considers to be most important in the world is honesty. While it can sometimes be painful (and she is on occasion prone to the more brutal sort of honesty), she has always found that honesty tends to work out better than the alternative. She firmly believes that the world would be a better place if people were more open.
DARING xxx»» Though she has somewhat slowed down since her years in school, Amata has always had a thirst for adventure and new experiences. It's fair to say that this love is equal parts a passion for learning, passion for life, and an addiction to the adrenaline rush. Even if it's not particularly exciting, if she can learn from it, she wants to try it. Even if she can't learn from it, if it'll get her blood pumping, she's game. She just wants something that she'll get something out of, either in brain or body, mind or soul.
LOYAL xxx»» Amata believes in being there for the people she cares about; she would do anything to help anyone who has given her cause to care for them. Whether it be a place to stay, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, she's willing to provide it to those who need it. She'll go above and beyond, too, if she can. She also cares very deeply for her friends and loved ones, and is deeply affected when anything happens to them. Likewise, she believes betrayal of any sort to be the worst crime a person can commit.

CHILDHOOD xxx»» Amata was the only child of witch Meredith Harlowe and her muggle husband Graham. Her mother, rather on the romantic side and having an obsession with history, mythology and fairy tales, spent most of her daughters early years reading her stories, imbibing her with a great love for them. Amata grew up in a home that was an odd mixture of muggle and magical norms, and was always amused by the fact that her mother's rather successful career as an author went largely ignored by her old-fashioned father, who insisted that he was the 'breadwinner' for the family. It was his money that paid the bills, which left them free to save Meredith's earnings and spend it on vacations and other frivolous things.
SCHOOL YEARS xxx»» Like most of the magical side of her family, Amata was sorted into Gryffindor at Hogwarts. The stories she had been read from birth all spoke of great heroes and valiant good deeds, and she saw fit to continue the tradition of such. However, she had a penchant for speaking her mind when it wasn't necessarily welcome or appropriate, and was often in trouble. She never really learned to curb her tongue, thinking it was wrong for her to have to do so. Still, she was an excellent student, and managed good grades in spite of her mouth, particularly in any history-centric lessons.
ADULTHOOD xxx»» After her graduation, Amata's parents built her a small cottage near their own home for her to live in by herself. She spent a few years working mostly as her mother's personal editor, though this proved to be unfulfilling. She returned to Hogwarts as a professor, hoping that she could help create the same passion she held for old stories in her students. Her first year teaching, she made one friend, a man named Regret Owens, who seemed quiet and somewhat depressed to her, but nice all the same. Towards the end of the year, Regret's depression seemed to catch up with him; he snapped, and attacked two students. Amata managed to save them, thankfully, but she always felt guilty over the attack, believing that as his friend, she should have somehow been able to stop it. Over the next couple of years, she tried to help the two affected students heal from the trauma of the attack, and grew very close to them. She also opened up to another of her fellow professors, forcing herself to push her boundaries and befriend the History of Magic professor, Grayson Powell, in an effort to get over the emotional scarring Regret's attack had caused. Her feelings for Grayson, however, turned romantic, and she proceeded to spend the next couple of years switching between trying to force herself to get over it and flirting with him to see if he were interested. Eventually, she finally asked him on a date, to which he said yes, and after one dinner date and a month in Greece (his idea), she began to consider them a couple, though she wasn't entirely certain he was on the same page. xxx»» Eventually Amata settled into a comfortable place in her relationship with Grayson, though a lot of the rest of her life seemed to grow more and more tumultuous as that grew less so. Her best friend Ciaran went through what she would've liked to call a nasty divorce, but nasty implied that there was some sort of fighting, and that was the opposite of the problem in this case. Ciaran's now-ex Aedan couldn't even be bothered to speak up about what he might or might not want, and utterly abandoned the three children he had been the one to insist they adopt. Amata's gut reaction was to conspire the man's gruesome murder with Ciaran's former sister-in-law Siobhan, but he put a rather strict kibosh on that, much to her annoyance. Instead she chose to focus her efforts on getting Ciaran over the heartache. She didn't have much luck on that front, but after a while he at least stopped wallowing so much, which was something, she supposed. xxx»» Meanwhile, Grayson ended up the guardian of a cousin much younger than himself when the boy's parents died in an auto accident. Grayson's parents foisted the child on Grayson, using his being magical like their son was as an excuse, in an attempt to teach him some level of responsibility. Personally, Amata thought that was a 'too little, too late' sort of situation and that they should hardly be making a big deal out of his obliviousness and forgetfulness when they were the ones who'd failed to train him out of those traits as a child. But, she liked Joel well enough, and reasoned that she could pick up whatever slack Grayson left. That plan got her mental gears turning regarding her relationship, of course, and she began debating if it was wise to ask Grayson to move in with her. Previous attempts at cohabitation with boyfriends had ended in disaster, leaving her rather terrified of the concept. It took her getting drunk at a wedding to actually ask him. He agreed, and one quick remodel of her cottage later, he and Joel moved in. xxx»» The departure of the Headmaster at Hogwarts resulted in the Gryffindor Head of House, also the Deputy Headmaster, being promoted to Headmaster. His former position was offered to Amata, who took it with no small amount of trepidation. Her reluctance only seemed to be justified when the second she was in charge (or so it seemed to her), suddenly she was up to her ears in trouble makers, not the least of which included several students getting caught drinking underage, and a seemingly year-wide excursion into the Forbidden Forest, of all places. Amata has since struggled somewhat with maintaining a reasonably likeable status among her students, but still being strict enough to keep them from getting any ideas. Apparently she managed to do her job well enough, though, since she was chosen to fill the Deputy Headmistress position when Professor Throne left the school. It was offered to Angel first, due to seniority, but he turned the position down, much to her annoyance. Though, Jason Hill being promoted to Slytherin Head of House once Professor Goldwind left as well was almost funny enough to make up for it. Plus, his promotion meant that she could rest easy knowing at least she wasn't the worst Head of House her students could have. xxx»» Life seemed to have settled quite well for Amata, until one days she and Grayson received a rather odd package in the mail. It was a book, published by one of Grayson's colleagues, which by itself wasn't odd. It was the message inside that made it unusual, a congratulations for the two of them having been married for ten years. Last Amata had checked, she didn't recall getting married. It wasn't until they thought about it and did some research that they realized they had accidentally participated in a marriage ceremony while on one of Grayson's digs. Obviously, that wasn't a legal marriage, but in the face of it they decided they might as well make it official. They did, at least, inform a small collection of their loved ones so that there was no fuss over having 'missed it', but they didn't bother with any ceremony, just going to the court and signing the appropriate paperwork. She did keep her own last name, mostly to avoid the confusion of there being two 'Professor Powell's at the school.
