What can be found in a name:
Ethan Grayson
When the day I was born:
24/12/1956
The Angels screamed:
The only parent Ethan has is his father, who also happens to be a raging jobless alcoholic.
And Hell shut its doors:
A barn owl named Barney.
While creatures retreated:
Pureblood
To depths unknown:
He was in Ravenclaw when he still attended.
He now works as an Auror, although he is not very successful for obvious reasons.
I hide from them:
Ethan’s favourite place to hang out is at home. He feels as if he is safe there, although he realizes it is a naïve thought. He enjoys reading, and spends most of his time in front of the fire reading and studying. Although an Auror, he has always wanted to work as an Unspeakable. However, due to his working with the Dark Lord, he does not trust himself to work there in fear that Voldemort will attempt to get information out of him. He also likes spending time outdoors and wandering around. It relaxes him.
Be who they want to see:
Ethan is a very awkward looking man. He is quite tall, but lanky. His hair rarely looks clean, and is always overgrown. His hair is brown, along with his eyes. He has very sharp and angular facial features. He always tries to dress his best in attempts so that people will take him seriously despite his failures within the Ministry. He occasionally wears glasses, as well.
But that leaves no one:
To discover that inside:
Ethan is a very shy person. He uses knowledge in order to hide his feelings, although he is very sensitive. He will try to do anything in order to help people out, and is a very empathetic person. Ethan is also extremely intelligent, and has always yearned to go further in the Ministry, but his association with Voldemort has held him back from it. Ethan is a bit of a coward, and always does what he is told, whether or not he believes in it. However, he always tries to weasel his way out of doing tasks that he deems unfavourable, such as killing people. He has occasionally put people into hiding and claimed to have killed them when he actually hasn’t. Ethan has an extremely hard time standing up for himself or others. At the moment, the only person other than Death Eaters or Voldemort that he keeps in contact with is his sister. He tries his best to keep in contact with her without Voldemort finding out. He tries to make Voldemort believe that he doesn’t care about his little sister, in hopes of protecting her. He tries to be close with her, but she pushes him away out of knowing what he has done.
This soulless being:
Reading, studying, writing, being outdoors, his sister.
Is just as lost:
Voldemort, Death Eaters, his father, Dark Arts, his job as an Auror.
As everyone else:
Potions, Transfiguration, school work, looking awkward, giving himself a good image.
In a world that knows only hate:
Standing up for himself, standing up for others, doing what he actually wants, dark magic, and talking to girls.
And causes pain for the soulless like me:
Ethan’s main secret is that he is a Death Eater. Growing up, he trained to be an Auror, for it was his best way to oppose his father’s strict rules and expectations for him and his sister to be affiliated with the Dark Arts. When he finished school, he had top grades and easily became an Auror. Not long after, however, Tom Riddle went recruiting, and Ethan’s father offered him up to him. Ethan was too scared to refuse, and therefore was forced to turn spy. He had been top choice for promotion at the Ministry until this happened, and then he could not do his job nearly as well. He was only able to capture non-Dark wizards and pretend they were Dark in order to keep his job – there was no way that he could actually capture real Death Eaters. So his biggest secret and his biggest shame is that he is a Death Eater.
Another secret is that he has never even kissed a girl before. During school he focused on his studies, and now he is too ashamed of who he is in order to get close to a girl. He is the only nineteen year old he knows who is a virgin, never mind not even have kissed a girl before.
They left me to die:
Ethan does not know who his mother is. She died soon after giving birth to his sister, and there are no photos or other things to remind him of her. Every now and then he dreams of a black-haired woman, who he assumes must his mother. He doubts her death, however, due to the fact he randomly gets gifts and postcards from someone unknown.
On a bed of roses:
All of the family on his father’s side are allegedly dead, excluding his father.
Blood seeping through:
The biggest family secret is that apparently everyone except he, his father and his sister are dead. No one knows how they died, or even if they are dead. All Ethan knows is that his father is fascinated with the Dark Arts, and has been ever since he has known him. The family has an outrageous amount of money, which his father claims is from the wills of his other family members, considering Ethan isn’t aware of any jobs that his dad ever had.
The satin sheets of fame:
Rich
What a bitter story of love:
Being pushed around and bullied by his father since he could remember, Ethan never got any confidence. Despite being the best in all of his classes, he hardly got recognition for it, for he never offered up any answers. His father tried pushing him to go to Durmstrang, but he refused. Without telling his father, Ethan trained himself up through Hogwarts to be an Auror. Due to his amazing grades, he accomplished this feat easily; especially since he didn’t waste his time with things such as friends or girls. When he graduated, he got a job in the Ministry immediately as an Auror. He was initially quite good. He was so clever he didn’t need to get into many physical confrontations. He would hide somewhere and attack unannounced. He was praised for his work, and was almost promoted, except Tom Riddle began to recruit. He managed to avoid the topic, except the man went to his father, who offered up Ethan immediately. Both his father and Tom Riddle forced him into it, and he was too scared to refuse. Afterwards, his close relationship with his sister deteriorated. She claimed that he was a coward, and that he should die rather than give in. Despite this, he continued his work for Voldemort.
Ethan’s work began to fail, too. He couldn’t possibly capture real Death Eaters while under Voldemort’s control. He was forced to give the Ministry wrong information about the whereabouts of real Dark wizards, and to keep himself from being fired, he brought in innocent people; or even modified their memories to make them believe that they did horrible acts. Although no longer up for promotion, or even close to it, he did not lose his job. He was told to act spy for Voldemort, but there was really no information to supply. After his career started going downhill, he was hardly trusted with any valuable information.
In his services for Voldemort, he has yet to kill a single person. It helps that he hadn’t been working for him for very long. Every time he gets sent to kill someone, he merely puts them into hiding. It doesn’t mean he’s innocent either, however. Thinking it funny that Ethan is unable to perform Unforgivable Curses, Ethan’s duty is to usually manually torture those who they are trying to get information from.
And to think, all he really wants to do is work for the Department of Mysteries, get married and maybe have a couple of kids.
Ethan’s hands were sweaty. He wiped them on his trousers repeatedly, to no avail. He pushed his glasses up his nose, but they kept sliding down. He didn’t even know why he bothered to wear them half the time. He dragged the seemingly lifeless body further into the forest. His thin body caused him to have to stop repeatedly in order to recover. He didn’t want to do this, but he had to. It was the guy he was dragging, or him. If Ethan was able to do it correctly, he would be able to make it neither. Well, the guy would be worse for wear in Azkaban, but at least neither of them would be dead, right?
Ethan found a tree and put the body in a sitting position against it. The man’s nose was bloody. He must have dragged him over a rock. He felt bad, but it was nothing to how he was going to feel after what he was about to do. Ethan erased the man’s memory, and then replaced it with new ones. It was a tedious process; one that took a skilled hand. He was lucky to be so talented. He doubted that he’d still be alive if it wasn’t for his magical abilities. It felt like moments later when the man’s eyes fluttered open, revealing deep grey irises. He looked confused, and put a hand to his head. He looked at his now-bloody hand, and then to Ethan. A look of realization came over him, and the man’s lip trembled.
“What… what did I do?” the man’s voice was shaking heavily. His eyes were flying from tree to tree, looking horrified. He grabbed the front of Ethan’s dress shirt and pulled him close; their faces barely inches away. “Please… please don’t tell me I … I…”
He seemed incapable of saying what he did, but Ethan already knew. He knew which crime he had planted into the man’s mind. The man was silently crying, and looking like he wanted to rip out his insides due to grief. Ethan could feel tears in his own brown eyes, and didn’t say a word back for several moments. The man finally released Ethan, and laid himself on the ground, shaking due to heavily sobbing.
“I’m going to have to take you away,” Ethan explained in a soft and empathetic voice. “You’re going to have to come with me.”
The man didn’t seem to feel like he even deserved to argue. He held out an arm, and Ethan grasped it tightly with his own shaking hand. He turned on the spot, and the two Disapparated. When they reappeared outside the Ministry of Magic, Ethan realized that a tear had slid down his cheek. He brushed it away, and then helped the man to his feet. This man didn’t deserve what was coming to him. He had a wife and three children. Three children under the age of ten; all girls. He would never be able to see them grow up or get married or have kids. Ethan knew this, for this was the fourth man he brought in for something he didn’t do. Every single one of them got convicted for their crimes… a lifetime conviction. Glancing sideways at the man he was escorting, he knew this time would be no different.
