WORK & EDUCATION​

[EARLY YEARS]

Freddie attended a muggle primary school in upstate New York. His teachers considered him academically gifted, but said he lacked self-discipline and manners. His favourite subject was maths, and his least favourite subject was PE. He found it easy to fall into the fringes of established groups, but struggled to develop close friendships. The other children thought he was a try-hard and laughed at him behind his back. When he discovered this, he became a bit of a loner.​

⭑ EMPATHETIC ⭑ INDEPENDENT ⭑ AMBITIOUS ⭑ INTELLIGENT ⭑ QUIET ⭑​

EMPATHETIC	INDEPENDENT
Freddie feels deeply, both for himself and for others. He recognises pain and sadness in the subtle changes of someone's posture and expression, and often feels compelled to try to remedy it.	An inclination to be alone and a desire for freedom drive many of Freddie's decisions. He's never been afraid of being alone or getting lost, and tends to be uninfluenced by others' opinions and experiences when making decisions.
AMBITIOUS	INTELLIGENT
Ambitious, focused, driven - Freddie will stop at nothing to reach a goal he's set his mind to, and he's always setting himself goals. Most of them revolve around his favourite hobby: playing the guitar. He often practises upwards of six hours a day.	Freddie's early teachers often described him as gifted. Certainly he has a strong memory and an extraordinary talent for math. However, his intelligence also offers him rational thinking.
QUIET
Reticent and moody, Freddie tends to speak only when spoken to. He avoids socialising if he can help it, fearing it will lead to rejection, dismissal, or humiliation.

[INTERESTS & HOBBIES]

Playing the electric guitar, reading, wandlore, fashion, record-collecting, horse-riding​

Freddie is a very advanced guitarist for his age - the result of thousands of hours of practice. He also has an incredible talent for mathematics.​

Early bird. Freddie gets tired very early in the evening and wakes up early whether he wants to or not.​

2053 - 2064 (BEFORE HOGWARTS)​

Freddie had a difficult and unstable childhood. It began promisingly: a bright and curious child, he hit most of his developmental milestones early, and by the age of 18 months he was already speaking in short sentences. He was gentle with his infant brother Luke and loved to play with his elder sister Susie, who made up stories to entertain him. The family was generally happy. Though his career-driven mother was emotionally distant and seldom home before his bedtime, his stay-at-home father was warm and loving. Everything seemed, if not perfect, then at least stable, but even in these early years Freddie sensed an unhappy tension. At night, he often heard his parents arguing downstairs. The arguments upset him. He trained himself to fall asleep in spite of the noise, but he would often wake a few hours later from unsettling dreams. It became his habit to climb into bed with Susie, who would hold him until he fell asleep, his faithful protector from bad dreams and monsters under the bed.

Everything changed when Freddie was five. One winter morning, a morning like any other, his mother left for work and never came home again. His dad told the children she had gone on holiday, and they believed him, but something felt wrong. He stopped taking them to school. He stopped buying groceries. The house grew quieter by the day, as if it were somehow severed from the rest of the world. Freddie was too young to articulate it, but he felt sick and uneasy, like he was stuck in one of his dreams. It was only going to get worse.

Two weeks after his mother disappeared, there was a knock at the door. His uncle Nathaniel, a man he had only met once before in his life, announced that had come to take the family to America. Freddie was terrified. Why did they have to go? Where was his mum? What was going on? He tried to barricade himself in his room, tried to kick and scream and cry his way out of it, but the decision had been made and he was powerless to stop it. Susie comforted him as they approached the portkey. It would be all right, she told him, because no matter where they went in the world, they would always have each other - Susie, Freddie, and Luke, the three musketeers, the magic trio.

Their new home was on a farm in upstate New York. Under different circumstances, Freddie would have loved it: an enormous barn conversion, acres and acres of fields and woodland to explore, a creek running through the centre of it - it was a child's paradise. Yet the circumstances that had brought them here were so miserable, he could only see the place as scary and too big. On the first and second nights, he stayed in his bedroom and cried. On the third night, he waited until one o'clock, packed a small bag full of clothes and food, let himself out the back door, and started walking in the general direction of the portkey. He didn't know exactly where it was, or how long it would take him to get there, but that was all right. He was five years old and determined to get home.

His aunt picked him up at dawn. He had made it half a mile beyond the outskirts of the farm before he had to sit down for a rest on a tree stump, and that was where she found him, freezing cold and damp from the rain. He did not protest as she took his hand and apparated him home.

They locked the doors more securely after that.

Christmas came, bringing with it a glimmer of hope. Susie was learning to play the oboe, and Freddie desperately wanted an instrument of his own - an electric guitar, so that he could recreate his favourite rock riffs. When he was finally persuaded out of his room, he came downstairs to find a shiny black Stratocaster waiting for him under the tree. His aunt had even charmed it for him, making it smaller and lighter, so that his small hands could hold it more comfortably. It was the best present he had ever received. He played it to death in those first few months. His fingers were raw and bled on the strings, but he was too happy to care. Music gave him an escape. Hours upon hours of daily practice soon paid off; by his sixth birthday, he had already mastered the basics and was beginning to pick up techniques a ten-year-old would struggle with.

Seeing that his mood had improved so drastically, his uncle and aunt decided to enrol him and his siblings into a nearby muggle elementary school. Freddie was distraught. His aunt tried to explain that all of their cousins had attended the same school, but he didn't believe her; he was convinced she had got fed up with him, and that sending all three children to school was a convenient excuse to get rid of Freddie in particular. After all, he was the one she complained about. Too loud, too angry, too rude, too unsociable - his siblings were angels, but Freddie? He couldn't keep himself out of trouble if he tried.

The new school routine was predictably stressful, but it wasn't all bad. Freddie discovered a love for mathematics. He was good with numbers, and his teachers soon learned that handing him a sheet of math questions could reliably calm him down. His grades could be unstable, but in math he always excelled. The school also had its own music room, equipped with acoustic guitars. Freddie often spent recess secreted in here, practising new fretting techniques or strumming songs for Luke to sing along to.
