Character's Name: Andrew Socrates Sedgwick
Previously Spinnett, Larissa loves to tease Andrew for his name, regardless of the numerous times he has pleaded with her not to.
Character's Birthdate: 14th February 2010
Larissa claims that this being Andrew's birthday, gets her out of having to buy him anything for St. Valentine's day.
Residential Country: Germany
While Andrew grew up in Germany, he is fluent in both English and German, which Larissa finds a bonus for insulting him in two languages, rather than being limited to just the one.
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
A lot of mixtures have gone into the Spinnett bloodline, and while it is rumoured that during the victorian period, giant blood breached the family line, this has gone unconfirmed.
Wand: Birch Wood, Twelve And A Quarter Inches, Dragon Heartstring
Andrew purchased this wand at the age of eleven, and it has lasted him since. He has a pet name, of sorts, for it, though he never repeats this to anyone else.
Educated At: Durmstrang Institute
Attended for the full seven years, excelled in History of Magic. Did not enjoy the teachings of certain professors who enjoyed a more brutal approach to education.
Occupation: Ministry Official At The German Ministry Of Magic
Andrew applied for his job at the ministry in January of 2028, after it was agreed that he and Larissa would both work together to raise their daughter, Lily.
Hair: Short, Dark Brown
Andrew likes to keep his hair short and neat, however, his wife purposely messes it up in the few minutes before he goes to work as he's saying goodbye to her.
Eyes: Deep Brown
Andrew gets his chocolate pools of eyes from his father. His mother has delicate powder blue eyes, similar to Larissa's and Lily's.
Height: Six Feet And One Inch
It is suspected that Andrew has finished growing to his full height. A rather disappointing feat for him, as he only just bypassed his father's height by half an inch.
Style: Smart Casual, Sensible, Boring
Larissa has developed the habit of forcing Andrew into homemade jumpers- the sort she purposely makes garish and overwhelming. Andrew likes to look smart every day, and offer comes across as being a lot older than he is.
Other Distinguishing Features: Beard And Facial Hair
Larissa's love of stubble on her husband, appeared one day after he forgot to shave, since then, she has ordered him to keep some small amount of 'beardedness' going on, saving her the trouble of scruffying up his clothes before he leaves the house.
Personality: Academically Intelligent, Easily Influenced, Loyal
While he was a star pupil at Durmstrang (earning him a place as Prefect and Head Boy, respectively), Andrew has never been the quickest to pick up on certain hidden signs. Andrew believes his wife to be a misunderstood woman with a heart of gold, who can just be a little grumpy at times. Certain aspects of this are correct, however, he is completely oblivious to the darker side of Larissa. His wife has a large amount of influence over him and, in fact, while Andrew does not realise it, his wife has him on a set of strings. Andrew has always remained loyal to his friends and family, and would sooner die than betray them.
Special Talents/Abilities: A Strong Flyer
Andrew was on one of the Durmstrang Quidditch teams for many years, and was even offered the job of team captain, until turning it down in favour of his studies. His strongest position in Quidditch is as a keeper, and when it comes to long distance flights, he is very steady and stable upon his broom.
History: Childhood, School, Marriage, And Work
Andrew Spinnett was born to Elise and Regulus Spinnett in 2010. He had a largely stable childhood, with the only down point being the lack of siblings. Andrew had always wanted a little brother or sister, but after his mother had a rather devastating accident two years after his birth, it was discovered that there would be no more Spinnett children of that particular line.
In 2015, Regulus began home educating his son. However, Regulus' success in his work at the Ministry, landed him a promotion, a raise, and a lot less time with his son. Elise, having always worked for a living as a journalist, had very little time to continue educating her son, and so it was that Andrew was pushed into a muggle school for the next six years. Andrew did not socialise much with muggle children, for fear of giving the family secret away.
Andrew was delighted when he received his letter to Durmstrang, as were his parents. He began attending the school, and received many high grades. The years sped by, with Andrew making the Quidditch team in his fourth year, as a substitute keeper, swapped into the full-time role of keeper by his fifth year. His main focus and devotion, initially, was his lessons, until a short while into his fifth year. He had been made prefect. By his sixth year, Larissa Sedgwick was also made a prefect. Andrew hated the way she could manipulate the system in her favour, and manipulate him, also. And yet, as time passed, Andrew found himself falling for Larissa's charm and good looks- something she liked to tease him with. In his seventh year, a proud Head Boy in Durmstrang's history, he was frustrated to discover that Larissa had been made Head Girl. Larissa continued to wind up and taunt Andrew until her whole life slipped down hill. Andrew began to support the girl, and come the last day of the year, he proposed marriage, and Larissa accepted.
On the 31st of October, 2028, Andrew and Larissa wed before friends and relatives. Midway through the reception, the couple set off for their honeymoon in Egypt. Upon arriving back home, Larissa discovered that she was pregnant, and the couple got into the swing of preparing for what was to come. After Christmas, Andrew found work and began bringing in a little money to support them in the house they had bought together. On the 26th of July, 2029, Lily Valla Isis Sedgwick was born in the home the couple shared. The study was partially converted into a nursery for Lily, and the family settled into this new style of life.
