Was that ZAC EFRON I just saw walking down the hallways? Oh wait, no - that was AUGUST HIGGS. The MALE is a TWENTY ONE year old SLYTHERIN who is in YEAR TEN. I heard the HALF BLOOD has chosen to STAY NEUTRAL which explains why HE is CHARMING and CARING, but also NAIVE and IMPULSIVE. But who really knows?
Three headcannons:
1. Ever since he would walk, August could fly. He went through multiple brooms when he was a kid, testing multiple different ways of flying, breaking brooms and other possessions in the process- and maybe hitting his head a few times too many. Quidditch was always his passion, and while school work was typically pushed aside, the boy loved coming back to Hogwarts purely so that he could play the game again. Being in the air, chasing, and playing made him feel like he could do anything; most of all, it made him feel happy.
2. Just like his mother, albeit secretly, August likes to sing. He does not let the general public know about that, assuming that it’s something to be ashamed of. Nevertheless, he had taught himself how to play the guitar, only letting his family know about that. Still, he refuses to even attempt doing duets with his mum, even in the private setting.
3. When August was in his seventh year, he got involved with the wrong crowds. One thing led to another, one party after another, and he found himself among the Death Eater ranks, buying into their beliefs, and taking them in as his own, without really thinking about it. It didn’t matter that he was hurting his sister, or his parents, and standing for everything he never thought he’d believe in. He was among the people who deemed him worthy, who accepted him as it was. Or so he thought.
Halfway through his ninth year, August finally started to see the wrongs in the path he was trying to take. He finally saw the murders, the pain he and his friends were bringing onto other people, and he could no longer handle it. He had to get out. It wasn’t the smartest move, yet he chose to make it a bold statement, and anounced that he was leaving Death Eaters publicly. All seemed fine, and he was slowly starting to approach his sister again- still too ashamed to interact with his parents- but then everything fell apart. August remembers nothing of the night when he was kidnapped. He does not recall the days he spent locked away, he does not recall anything that happened to him. It was months before he appeared during the Halloween Ball, causing chaos. Yet, even then, he was not completely back. He was breathing, and alive, yet the healers could not get him out of the coma he was in. That was, up until mid February, when he awoke, without as much as letting his family know, ready to get back into the life that he was so behind on.
Boggart: masses of cloaked people, with their wands raised, surrounding him completely, and ready to destroy him.
