• Description

  You see Jose Raúl Batista walk past you. His hispanic appearance is very roughly outlined by his jet black hair combed back over his head. As he nods to you, you notice the sharp black beard around his chin, the well-kept teeth that represent the inside of his mouth, and his glasses that glint in the sunshine. You see his wand satchel attached to his left shoulder where he keeps his Cedar wand, El Seguro, on hand at all times. As he continues walking, you notice the fine garments that are his exquisite professor's robe and the prestiged emblem for The Wizarding School of Hogwarts that follows with it.

• Biography

  Jose Raúl Batista was born on April 14, 2062, in Salamanca, Spain. One day, while his father Anacledo was tending to his aspiring Grapefruit farm in Salamanca, bad news was coming. Apparantly, his farm was not having the turnout that it was expected, and Anacledo was losing money due to it. As a result, it was set to be foreclosed, unbeknownst to Anacledo. The person sent to foreclose the farm was none other than Cora Lopez. Anacledo was distraught. His whole life savings had now gone down the drain due to this. Seeing this happen to a lot of people, Cora usually didn't relate to their troubles. But something about Anacledo piqued her interest. She felt sympathy for him, and decided that she would help him get his life back on track. Thankful, Anacledo accepted. Cora was very helpful in receiving loans and plans for Anacledo's new farm, and soon it became more of a partnership than a helping hand. Not to long afterwards, they began to develop feelings for eachother, and thus their first child, Danielle, was born. Not too long after came Jose himself.
  
  After Cora and Anacledo settled down on their farm, something strange happened. Not long after Jose was born, both children seemed to act strange. Danielle could make plants grow haphazardly, and Jose began to float unexpectedly. Cora didn't understand what was happening, but Anacledo knew full well. As a result, he had to come clean about his sorcery powers to his wife. The only reason that his grapefruit farm had failed (as he was using spells to keep it alive) was that it was struck with a horrible blight that not even his knowledge of spells could counter. Thus was now the Sorcerer Anacledo, the Muggle Cora, and their two half-blood children, Danielle and Jose.
  
  Although Jose was only 3 years old when this occured, he remembers it well. It was the reason that his family was forced to go into hiding. One day, while Cora was out on a stroll with Jose, she made a stop at a bank, which was an unfortunate move. Cora and Jose got wrapped up in a bank robbery. Being held hostage was unbearable, and they couldn't do a thing about it, as Cora was just a muggle and Jose knew no spells at all (not to mention they were also surrounded by various muggles). Cora got the unfortunate luck of being the 'fall-guy' in the robbers operation. The guns and part of the stolen cash were left with her as the robbers escaped, and as the police arrived, she was put into custody after being accused as an accomplice. Not soon afterwards, Anacledo posted bail for her. Anacledo then felt his family was at risk because of this, and he took his family across the sea to the United Kingdom (before the court date), where they would stay in hiding until this blew over. That's when Anacledo felt it would be safer for him to send his two children to The Wizarding School of Hogwarts when the time came. Danielle was immediately sent off, while Jose was forced to wait until he was of age.
  
  Sure enough, once Jose was old enough to attend Witchcraft school, Anacledo shipped him off. This is where he spent his whole adolescent phase until after his graduation, where he went back to Spain to work as an accountant. Jose soon began to grow weary of this life, his only sanctuary being the night sky. Not wanting to lose his wizarding roots, he decided to apply to TWSOH for his favorite subject, Astronomy.
