The son of a Muggle physician and a journalist witch.

Notoriously neurotic due to the high expectations of his parents, James spends most of his time wallowing in books, in all kinds of music, and in absurd amounts of coffee to keep him steady on his feet.

HOBBIES, INTERESTS, AND RUNES
Back at his family's estate, he owns an Irish Wolfhound named "Breandán", whom he often took with him when he's horse riding across the family grounds or when he's sailing along the Irish coastline.

Other areas of his interests include reading through the books in the manor library, practicing archery, playing the piano, and perfecting the art of preparing all types of coffee.

Despite being raised in the traditional Muggle education befitting a young aristocratic gentleman, James is well-versed with runes. This came from his extensive (and unsupervised) exploration of the countryside and old ruins in Ireland, where vestiges of Ancient Celtic and Nordic magic carved on stones are still present. As a result, he is familiar with druid magic and he became proficient in Germanic Runes (ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲ) and Celtic Ogham |᚛ᚑᚌᚆᚐᚋ᚜|.

He was more than delighted when a vine wand chose him when he entered Ollivander's shop. Vine, as James was well aware, was the unusual wood used by druids to make wands.

VINE is also the corresponding wood that governs his Celtic tree astrology birth month. Muin |᚛ᚋᚒᚔᚅ᚜| or "grape vine" covers September 2 to 29.</details>

An excerpt on
VINE WAND
"I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best. Vine wands seem strongly attracted by personalities with hidden depths, and I have found them more sensitive than any other when it comes to instantly detecting a prospective match."

- Ollivander on Wand Woods (Pottermore)

☞ DISCLAIMER ☜ Outside of the Wizarding World, I’m a medical student. I’m going to apologize in advance for “occasional” long periods of absence. Please understand that I will be busy 75-90% of the time, and that I mostly see my "courses and lessons" on this site as a pleasant hobby to balance to my <strike>death-inducing</strike> graduate studies.

I grew up with the HP books. Although it’s under the YA genre and I'm now transitioning out of that phase of my life, I still consider the series to be an integral part of my formative years.

<details><summary>“What's your HiH account for?”</summary>CASUAL LEARNINGI'm mostly here for the academic side of the website. It's what led me to make an account. The magical lessons are arguably more interesting than our Muggle classes. If reading is your hobby, you might as well take it up a notch and pretend you're enrolled in a fictional school; turn your casual reading into a semi-learning experience.</details>
<details><summary>“What roleplays are you into?”</summary>CAN'T RP, WON'T RP I'm not really good at roleplays since I have very little to no experience for it at all. I'm sorry if you want to roleplay with me, but I will have to politely decline (for both our sakes, lol). This doesn't mean that I'm not open to making conversations, no. You can still send owls to my inbox!</details>
<details><summary>“Can I post/advertise on your wall?”</summary> I PREFER TO KEEP AN AESTHETIC WALL
To avoid spam and solicitations, you cannot post on my wall unless I follow you, but again, you can send me a message if you want to reach me. My owl, Pyrois, will <strike>eventually</strike> deliver my response when I find the time to reply.</details>
