History
- History: Artie was a very capable student at Ilvermorny school for magic. He was a 6th years student who was already being viewed as a candidate for an internship with the Scamander family. If it weren't for his constant barrage of traditional values he would have been a model student and role model.
The staff at Ilvermornyseemed to be looking at the young wizard always looking for a reason to demerit him or give him the hardest work. He usually stepped up to the challenge and succeeded but recently last year he was distracted and distant.
He withdrew from his other housemates and sunk into himself. The last straw occurred over the last few weeks. Artie trapped all of the 6th and 7th year bullies in a corridor and unleashed a boggart on them. This wouldn't have been so bad, had they actually been allowed to carry their own wands.
While running away from the groups, he stumbled onto an experiment of a new familiar bonding ritual, while reading their notes aloud Artie wasn't aware of the other presence in the room. Completing the words and with all the ingredients in the room prepared it was then that he bonded with familiar.
Classified as extremely dangerous, it was then new bond that had forced the hand of the board of Ilvermorny. Artie was expelled.
Person behind the Character

- Role Playing Sample:
Artie sat in the waiting room, leg bouncing faster and faster. His excitement a mix of joy and fear. He’d succeeded when all the signs pointed out he shouldn’t have, but still there were rules against what he’d done.
He was already on thin ice, first the charm to alter all the hair of the statues. And then the Boggart incident with all the bullies, high and mighty talking trash about things and people they didn’t know a thing about. Served them right. Not his fault that they left their wands outside their little club house.
A pang of guilt hit Artie, a few of them wouldn’t be the same. He felt horrible reflecting on his actions, once again his temper had gotten the better of him. He found a way to make it up to them, some simple recipe his grandfather had told him about erasing bad memories. Just a little potion which also got around the tracking spells of underage magic.
At least they wouldn’t remember that much, but he didn’t think forming a bond would be a bad thing, all his teachers had said he needed a friend. And he found one, not his fault that he found it in a cage being studied. Those 6th year shouldn’t have been so careless with their books.
Artie stamped his feet, he’d just explain that they were too academic, they had to feel their way through the ritual. It’s all intuitive.
At his moment of resolve, Artie noticed that the door was opening, he stood quickly waiting to hear how many stalls he’d have to muck out. Or worse how much tutoring he’d have to do. Or maybe he’d have to sit through yet another lecture about family, legacy and responsibility.
It was the quiet that shook him, not even one of the collected teachers would speak, they just moved past him. He knew how serious this whole mess was when he was called by his full name, Only Nanna would call him out like that. If only she were here now. But no, he moved into the office and was shocked. Two Aurores and his head of house were sitting quietly awaiting him.
The rest of the meeting was a blur. Was he Obliviated? No, he remembered too many little things, his wand being taken, then broken, his expulsion from Ivermormy. The only possession he could keep was a small cage with Tom in it. At least that was something, but his family were finally done with him in America, he would be shipped to England so that Nanna and Papa would take care of him. Like they did with all the outcast creatures they cared for
