Personality: Cornelius is the snottiest most obnoxious little twerp you've ever met. Up himself and self-righteous, Cornelius is convinced that he's right about EVERYTHING, OBVIOUSLY, and has no problem telling people. He simultaneously thinks he's the best and smartest person ever to live and is DEEPLY insecure, something he projects onto everyone around him, putting them down at every opportunity. He's terrified of not living up to his supposed destiny, and yet manages to sabotage himself at every turn. He's also incredibly boring, and if he can keep himself from putting his conversation partner down for more than a few minutes, he'll manage to bore them to sleep. Below it all, at the end of the day, Cornelius just wants to be loved, to be accepted, he just has NO idea how to seek out real connections, too tied up in his family's history and expectations.

Cornelius carries that medal with him now, to remind him of the kind of man he's destined to be, the legacy that rests on his shoulders.

Hogwarts was exactly what Cornelius had expected it to be, all the grandiosity his family had described. He really ought to be at the original Hogwarts, soaking up all the history, treading the halls his ancestors had walked. But his mum had thought it would be a fun adventure, moving to the other side of the world. Cutting Cornelius off from the legacy that was his. It stung, but it was also an opportunity. A whole new country meant a new chapter in the family story; a chapter that was all his. His father and his father's father and his father's father's father had paved a path ahead, and now Cornelius was going to walk off it on his own direction.

And right now, the first fork in his own road was sitting right in front of him. The fabled hat wasn't even that impressive, just a crumpled pile of fabric sitting on a stool. Could something that ugly really read minds? He folded his arms as the Headmaster went on, wondering why he was dragging things out. Surely he knew what everyone was really here for. Finally the sorting began, and Cornelius rolled his eyes as he realised they were going by last name. Of course. He got more and more frustrated as his classmates began to filter away into their new homes, until...

“Seymour, Cornelius!

At least they had used his full name, rather than the ridiculous nickname that had been chained to him since birth. He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he made his way to the stool, carrying himself with as much dignity as possible as he sat down, though he couldn't help a small shudder as the hat touched his head. It didn't fit at all, and he hated how small it was no doubt making him look. And it had been on so many heads - Cornelius tried not to breathe in just in case it stunk. The possiblity of nits hit him far too late and he shuddered again, fingers flexing and curling. 'Just get this over with!' Cornelius thought insistently, waiting to be put in Gryffindor, the house of his ancestors.

“I can see what you desire, I can see where your family has been. However, I regret being the first to inform you that, what has been the house of your ancestors will not be yours. There is a different and clear path I see for you…You'll be fine…Slytherin,”
