Kakashi Hatake: Hogwarts AU

Kakashi Hatake is a Half-Blood (Lycanthrophy) wizard that was born on the 15th of September 1965 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1977, being sorted into Ravenclaw House.

He has a Fir wand with a Phoenix Feather core.

His Patronus is a Bulldog.

His favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite subject is Flying.

He was one of the Ravenclaw Prefects of his year and later Head-Boy.

Kakashi has been very independent, perceptive, and self-confident since early childhood, and tends to broach difficult conversations with blunt pragmatism. He carries himself with a relaxed, almost bored disposition and is known for being solitary and aloof, with an occasional tendency to ignore his peers. These qualities lead some to perceive him as arrogant or condescending; however, Kakashi is truthfully quite modest about himself, even in the face of his growing reputation as a wizard and leader. He is also habitually tardy, showing up at his leisure with excuses that convince nobody, and later leaving for equally poor reasons. Though Kakashi wants others to believe this is how he always acts, he only does so for matters that aren't of particular importance. In his role as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Kakashi dutifully worked for the students' progress. He also believes that even in times of peace, no one should become an auror or Hit-Wizard without appreciating the importance of it.

Kakashi's life was shaped by the death of his childhood friends. He spends hours of his free time visiting Rin's grave and the Memorial Stone where Obito's name is engraved, telling them about his life, recent events in the wizarding world, and others they knew. Most of all, he shares his regrets that they cannot be with him and that their deaths were his fault. After Rin died, Kakashi struggled to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder, having nightmares about her death and growing depressed whenever others mentioned her. Over time, Kakashi comes to accept that her choice to sacrifice herself and his guilt became more about his broken promise to Obito to keep her safe. This causes Obito's apparent death to weigh more heavily on him, compounded by regrets about his behaviour when they last spoke. Kakashi feels that, had he cared about teamwork and friendship in the same way that Obito did, Obito's "death" might have been avoided. Thinking it would ease his pain, Minato convinced Kakashi to become a Hit-Wizard for the ministry. During his time as a Hit-Wizard however, Kakashi gained a reputation for his cold-bloodedness. Kurenai Yūhi noted that Kakashi suffered with suicidal thoughts during his Hit-Wizard career, with his reckless dueling style and lack of self-care being deemed as Kakashi being in a hurry to die.

After his father's death, Kakashi initially became stern and cold toward others, chastising any who disobeyed orders and being willing to abandon his friends to finish homework and requests from the professors. However, Obito's apparent death profoundly changed him; he became committed to teamwork and always places his friends & allies' well-being above the mission's. He believes goals can be accomplished more effectively together, asking for help when he needs it, providing help when it is requested of him, and praising allies when they deserve it. An abuse of one's teammates is the only thing that can make Kakashi cast aside his normally stoic demeanour, causing him to attack without mercy or his usual sense of sportsmanship. He expects his prospective students to demonstrate this same devotion to teamwork, which none until the students from the 1990-1991 year was able to do; despite the high failure rate, the headmaster agrees with Kakashi's choice to require it. Kakashi becomes fond of all students at Hogwarts, even Sasuke Uchiha, to the point of blaming himself for Sasuke's criminal acts and his friends' growing rift over it throughout their last years at Hogwarts. He holds out hope that Sasuke will correct his behaviour, and for his patience he is able to see the three friends reunified when by the end of the Fourth Wizarding War.

Might Guy has considered Kakashi his rival ever since they first met at Hogwarts. Despite his father's warning that Guy might someday prove stronger than him, Kakashi didn't think much of Guy at the time. Guy took this as a challenge and began striving to earn Kakashi's approval so as to show that his perseverance could be just as good as Kakashi's natural genius. When Guy would suggest contests to test how their abilities compared, Kakashi would respond with indifference, only fuelling Guy's desire to defeat his "cool, hip, and trendy" personality. At the beginning of the 1991-1992 school year, Kakashi's score is 50 wins and 49 losses, though even when Guy takes the lead the score difference remains the same; considering that their competitions range from eating contests to Rock, Paper, Scissors, the score isn't truly representative of anything. Kakashi eventually comes to consider Guy one of his closest and most reliable friends, and by the end of the Fourth Wizarding War, he acknowledges that Guy has surpassed him.

When he first meets his students during lessons, Kakashi claims to have many hobbies, none of which he chooses to share at the time. He is an avid fan of the Icha Icha series of novels; he always has one of the books with him and regularly reads it, even while talking to others. Naruto Uzumaki identifies Icha Icha as one of Kakashi's few weaknesses, which he is able to take advantage of during the O.W.L.S. by threatening to spoil the ending of the newest book in the series, forcing Kakashi to shut his eyes and ears and thereby leave himself vulnerable. Although most people he knows are aware of how much he likes Icha Icha, Kakashi is seemingly uncomfortable sharing the books with others, embarrassed by the presumably adult content.

Following his retirement from active duty, Kakashi has become much more laid-back and unbothered by events and people surrounding him. His speech mannerisms and tone also resemble those of an old man. Although steadfast during any and all important events, Kakashi actively avoids taking on responsibilities during his free time, such as when he attempted to evade Boruto's pleas for training. Furthermore, Kakashi also enjoys having others perform the most basic of chores on his behalf, such as roping Boruto into helping him with shopping duties, and initially refusing to help with Sabure and Yubeshi's issues with their respective grandparents until being promised a rare first edition of an Icha Icha volume, with an extended ending.
