it’s been six years since the muggleborn wizard , sebastian hawtrey was sorted into ravenclaw upon arriving at hogwarts . i suppose over the years we’ve learnt that he is affable , independent , prideful & paradoxical , i guess that’s why they were sorted where they were . ( deaken bluman. )

colors bleeding into the sky at dawn, the huff of breath visible on an icy day, coffee stains splattered down the front of an otherwise pristine white shirt, desperately searching for a familiar face in a crowd, the glow of the sun through closed eyelids as you lay outside cutting class, books read for pleasure despite stacks of neglected assignments, the lingering aroma of expensive cologne.

in the regular world, purebloods, mudbloods, halfbloods – these things didn’t exist, or at least they didn’t matter. what mattered was money and how much of it you had. the hawtrey’s had plenty. edwin ( a novelist ) and florence hawtrey ( a “philanthropist” ) each came from old money , the kind that meant they were free to pursue their passions without ever having to worry about their financial situation. wealth was coded into every inch of their only son – in his tousled brown hair, challenging hazel eyes, posh tone and words spoken with unwavering confidence, hands shoved carelessly into the pockets of perfectly-tailored trousers. the world was his, and this knowledge gave sebastian a certain coolness and ease, a mannered charm that belonged to someone who had never known what it was to w a n t .
he had never considered that who he was might not be enough until that letter arrived ( clutched in the claws of an owl, of all things ) and changed everything. while many would have considered the news that they were a wizard to be a blessing, to sebastian, it was more of a curse. the future his parents had planned for him, where he was free to attend lavish parties and travel the world, no longer stretched in front of him with such certainty. instead, he found himself on the precipice of two worlds – unsure of whether he fully belonged in either.
muggleborn, mudblood – - this identity, this label, stained his existence at hogwarts. his classmates who were born into magic seemed to belong in a way that sebastian NEVER would. they knew which house they wanted to be sorted into, what quidditch was and what teams were their favorites, and they even knew what sweets they wanted to purchase on the hogwarts express with their knuts and sickles and galleons. it filled him with alien emotions ; insecurity and bitter jealousy.
now in his sixth year, he’s learned to overcome those feelings, or at least learned to bury them deep enough that they don’t gnaw him through. he’s an average student, largely due to the fact that there’s always somewhere other than class that he would rather be, and sebastian can hardly be bothered to spend time studying or on homework. while he’s a true ravenclaw – clever and witty with a love of learning – he prefers learning when it’s on his own time. he’ll become obsessive when there’s a topic that he’s interested in, and will likely be found in the library checking out every book he can possibly find on the subject.
there are multiple sides to sebastian that are, at times, in conflict with one another. in a moment, he can shift from being bright like the sun, with an easy smile and charming persona, to calm like the moon, to stormy and unforgiving like the ocean. sometimes, he’s all three at once. but underneath it all, he’s l o s t, unsure of his place in the world, unbearably fragile, and driven by a shattering desire to truly belong.
the war is coming and the feeling of anticipation is electrifying, but he isn’t sure it’s a fight he wants any part of. sebastian is still torn between the muggle and wizarding world. it would be easy to leave it all behind and r u n, return to where he came from without a backwards glance. is he willing to lose a piece of himself in that process ?

aquarius are deep thinkers, highly intellectual, and adept problem solvers. they shift to match the energy of those around them, but often need alone time after interactions to recharge. without mental stimulation, aquarius quickly become bored and lose motivation. one of the biggest problems for this sign is feeling limited or constrained, as they strongly desire freedom and equality.
