Let me tell you, a little something about myself[/color]
Tyler Grey didn’t exactly have a usual upbringing. Before he was even one his family put the boy up for adoption, believing already that there was some imperfection within their son, something that made him ‘unpure’. To be entirely honest it was his biological father that insisted that they get rid of the boy, as a pureblooded family he was quite a stain on their record. His older siblings and his parents were all dark haired and dark eyed, he was proof of his mother’s infidelity having been born with blonde hair and the bluest of eyes. His father had originally wanted his son slaughtered to hide the shame from the rest of the world, however, his mother managed to change his mind and so Tyler was placed into the child care system.
He was adopted by a lovely muggle couple who knew nothing of the magical world. So Tyler grew up in a world he didn’t really belong in, yet all the same he came to love his home, he adored his family and there was absolutely no way that he wanted his life to be changed drastically. School was always a high point for him, he was always surrounded by a lot of people, the popular kid with the cute mop of blonde hair, charisma and the ability to be nice even when moments before he was part of the mocking group. People listened to him. From an early age he wanted to be either a teacher or a doctor. High aspirations for a kid with not so good grades.
His outlook on life changed remarkably fast when he reached his eleventh birthday and his Hogwarts letter arrived. At first him and his family thought it some elaborate joke, this world was completely unknown to him after all. But the letters kept on coming and eventually he had a time and a date in which to meet somebody. His parents accompanied him, wanting to know exactly what was going on and of course to protect their son. They never believed that all the things encompassed within the letter were true.
The family went shopping that day within Diagon Alley. The boy had absolutely no idea that he was adopted, he had absolutely no idea that he was actually from a Pureblooded family, even when he attended Hogwarts and the sorting hat sorted him into Slytherin, he hadn’t a clue. For three years he was treated like shit within the Slytherin house, other students trying to make his life miserable for what he thought was a ‘blood’ thing, he was a ‘mudblood’ to them. Or so he thought. He had biological older siblings within the same house, a seventh year who spread rumours about Tyler, telling everybody that his blood was dirty in so many ways. It wasn’t until his fourth year and his biological sibling left that somebody let slip the secret. He never asked his parents, he didn’t want to upset them because deep down he knew what they were saying was true. He looked nothing like his adoptive parents, it didn’t mean he loved them any less, it just made him curious.
But now he had a new standing, he knew that he had purer blood than half of the Slytherin’s that used to mock him for being ‘dirty’, he knew he didn’t have to be pushed around simply because he was a product of his mother’s easily opened legs. He could be the person he was back in the muggle schools and so he was. He stopped shying away from people who used to mock him, he proved that he could be just like them and yet still stay separate. In his seventh year of Hogwarts he’d already decided that he wanted to become a professor of some sort, he wanted to work in the magical world and to do that he had to do well with his grades. But he met a girl. Tyler got attached to a rather shy Hufflepuff girl who he later went on to marry at the age of twenty-one after they’d left Hogwarts. At this point in time Tyler was working in a small magical summer camp, teaching troubled teens on how to actually perform the most basic of spells. It was enjoyable and yet saddening all at the same time, he could see young teens leaning more in favour of Voldemort and quite honestly he despised it. Yet at the same time he wanted to keep distant, he wanted other people to follow in his footsteps and become neutral, to stay away from the war he knows will be brewing.
His marriage broke down after three years, he wanted to settle down with children but she secretly had eyes for another man, a man with a better job, somebody who gave her more security. So she left him heartbroken. He continued his life though, working in the summer camps and in the winter he helped his father with his interior decorating business, which magic helped one hell of a lot with.
This is his first year of working within Hogwarts, he’s finally re-entered the school as a Herbology professor. Perhaps not his favourite subject but it was one of his best, he knows plants just as well as a Slytherin knows sarcasm. It’s march now and so far so good.
PS. My accepted character points go to: Ravenclaw!! For Zeke's sake D:
