Carwyn Pendragon

Official Blood Status: Pure Blood

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor.

When Carwyn arrived at Hogwarts as a vibrant eleven-year-old, there was no house for him other than Gryffindor. Everyone in his family - except that one uncle no one ever mentions that ended up in Hufflepuff - was a proud and brave Gryffindor, and Carwyn was going to be no different. The entire time he was standing in line he just kept chanting to himself, "Gryff-in-dor. Gryff-in-dor." He was so excited and determined to be a Gryffindor that if the sorting hat even tried to mention another house for him, it would go down.

But Carwyn had nothing to worry about. When his name was called and he stepped up to take his seat on the stool and the sorting hat was dropping onto his head, there was no argument. The sorting hat saw no deviation or wavering in Carwyn's desire to be a Gryffindor and made the announcement to the great hall...

"Better be...Gryffindor"

Magic Wand: -12", Vine Wood, Quite Flexible, Dragon Heartstring Core -Medium brown to dark brown in color -Vine work on the handle and along the length of the wand

Special Abilities: Quidditch Some spells from charms, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts as he found them useful with pranks and dueling

Broom
The Firebolt
A world-class racing broom that is considered one of the most advanced brooms of its time.

Performance: It can accelerate from 0 to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds.
Materials: It features a polished handle of goblin-made ironwork which provides superior stability, power, and non-slip foot grips, and a tail of hazel twigs.
Special Charms: It is equipped with an unbreakable Slowing Charm and possesses "unsurpassable balance"

When Carwyn got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts he was gifted an owl of his choice from his Uncle Dylan. His parents wanted to send him to school with the family's old tabby cat, Potsy, who had slept in Carwyn's bed with him since he was born. But Carwyn, as much as he loved the cat, really wanted an owl - something his uncle stood beside him on. It's that not cats were "cool" but everyone wanted an owl. Plus, it would give Carywn and his Uncle Dylan a way to keep in contact as Dylan traveled playing quidditch.

Carwyn's parents gave in and Uncle Dylan took Crawyn to pick out his very own owl. Carwyn fell in love with a white and tan Barn Owl. By the way the owl looked and acted, Carwyn named him Ghost. He makes a point to see Ghost every day, when he isn't off delivering mail to his parents or his uncle. Carwyn likes to spoil Ghost with treats and stratchies.

Extracurriculars
Clubs: Quidditch House Team, Flying club, Duelling Club, Charms Club
Quidditch: Beater for the Gryffindor house team starting his 2nd year. Team Captain 6th and 7th year.
Prefect or Head Boy/Girl: No

Best Classes:
Flying/Quidditch

Worst Classes:
There was a tie between Potions and A History of Magic. He usually napped in A History of Magic and Potions just took too much effort

Favorite Professors:
Divination - Carwyn can lay on the charm and creativeness that endears him to her.

Least Favorite Professors:
The ones that make him do his own work - i.e. the Potions Master

Boggart
Form: An out of control bludger and him with a broken bat
Riddikulus: The bludger deflates like a popped balloon.

Apparition
The one extracurricular activity (outside of anything quidditch) that Carwyn was excited to do. He applied himself and achieved apparition at the third practice session and passed on his first attempt for licensing.

Amortentia
What he smells: Dark berries and crushed herbs
What he smell like to others: Leather gloves, rain on the quidditch pitch, a little bit of broom polish, and a hint of smoke from the common room fire.

What they see in the Mirror of Erised: He would see himself as the Captain of the Quidditch team that Wins the Quidditch World Cup

Patronus
Form: He probably could perform the patronus charm if he applied himself, which we know he didn't.
Memory: It would probably be the first time he knocked a bludger at his opponent and prevented the winning point for the other team.

Animal: None
Description: Hogwarts has always had a very strict rule that they did not teach the animagus charm. But even if they had, Carwyn probably would not have taken the time to master the charm. If it didn't help him with quidditch, he didn't see the point in spending hours and hours learning it.

🖋️ Faculty Notes (Updated) Deputy Headmistress: “This schedule is… ambitious. If Mr. Carwyn fails Transfiguration, I will personally remove him from his broom.” Charms Professor: “Remarkable control when focused. Less remarkable when sleep-deprived, which appears to be always.” Quidditch Coach: “Top-tier reflexes. Push harder.” General Staff Comment: “We are unsure when the student rests.” ⸻ ⚠️ Special Conditions • Student is permitted: • Two daily Quidditch sessions (mandatory) • Flexible recovery periods at staff discretion • Student is strongly advised to: • Eat • Sleep • Not die during practice His Reasons Why ⚡ Charms • Why: Precision magic = better broom control, faster reactions, cleaner spellwork mid-air • Cushioning charms (crash prevention) • Speed-enhancing enchantments • Non-verbal casting (huge for matches) 🛡️ Defence Against the Dark Arts • Why: Reflexes, dueling, awareness. This is combat training disguised as a class • Fast reaction timing • Reading opponents • Staying calm under pressure 🌿 Herbology • Why: Sounds random… until you remember: • Healing plants • Stamina potions ingredients • Injury recovery knowledge 🔮 Transfiguration • Why: High-level magic = discipline + control • Quick adaptability (thinking on the fly) • Complex spell mastery 📜 Potions • Why: Recovery, endurance, focus • Know anti-fatigue potions • Understand illegal enhancements (and how to avoid getting caught 👀)
