Backstory

(Dragonologist) Dragons are among the most dangerous and magical of creatures in the world, wizarding or otherwise. I was first intrigued by them when I was standing in Gregorovich’s wand shop and he handed me a wand made of Hornbeam and Dragon Heartstring. We took an immediate liking to each other, and it has been my friend ever since. She has saved my life more than once, that’s for sure! Dragons come in a variety of temperaments, and while they can be persuaded to tolerate a Witch or Wizard’s presence, their mood can be quite the fickle thing. I came pretty close to being toasted once, but my partner warned me just in time and I was able to apparate away. Splinched a fingernail too, but compared to what I’ve seen that’s nothing. I feel the most fascinating part of magic is that you can use it to both your own and other peoples' advantages. I'd try and use magic to help others, but family always comes first. If I'm being honest with myself I really want power, out of most things, power just seems the most appealing. I also want the best for my family. I have a barn owl called Dray and he's a nice, calm owl, although he does bite if he's not familiar with your presence. There is both a Werewolf and a Vampire in our family, the most recent generations (my grandparents, parents and my own) are the only generations that have no immortal features.
