Character profile

► basics; Full Name: Ezra Jaren Greenaway Birthday: 19th of September 18xx (he is around 37 at the time HPHL takes place) Pronouns: he/him Sexual Orientation: bi (but he may or may not realize it himself) Hogwarts House: Slytherin Blood Status: Pureblood Nationality: English Personality type: INFP Personality: Ezra is determined to do well in life. He wants to see the best in people and both sides of the coin. He was a hatstall in Hogwarts as the hat was wondering between putting him to Hufflepuff or Slytherin but Ezra had so much respect for his father who was a Slytherin that he wanted it more. Some of the Slytherins found his tendency to make friends with less wealthy witches and wizards  considering his own wealth but if someone had a bad thing to say about it, he didn't argue with them. In general he is very patient and likes to take his time with things and look at every aspect. He stresses out easily and it took him time to get used to the attention but at the start it pleased him a lot. He grew passed it though and is now more anxious about it than pleased. He likes to play the victim card and when he was younger he was a bit obsessive with his looks.

► magical info;

Wand: Cypress wood with a phoenix feather core, 12 ¾ and reasonably supple flexibility Garrick Ollivander noted that cypress wands were associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death.

Fortunately, in these less blood-thirsty times, the possessors of cypress wands were rarely called upon to lay down their lives, though doubtless many of them would do so if required. Wands of cypress found their soul mates among the brave, the bold and the self-sacrificing: those who were unafraid to confront the shadows in their own and others' natures. Patronus: Nightjar Nightjars are mostly active in the late evening and early morning or at night and feed predominantly on moths and other large flying insects. They are sometimes called "goatsuckers" due to the ancient folk tale that they sucked the milk from goats. Most have small feet, of little use for walking, and long, pointed wings. Their soft plumage is cryptically colored to resemble bark or leaves, which helps them blend in with their surroundings. While the nightjar is a more defensive bird, it will fight off any predators, and their excellent hunting skills help them outfly their opponents. Patronus Memory: For most of his life it's Agata's smile but at some point he anchors his mind to wrap it around his favorite adventures. Boggart: Agata running away from him in a wedding dress Specialized/Favourite Spells:  Patronus spell

► background;

Place of Birth: Staffordshire, England

Home: Wildridge Manor, His mothers friends and family members homes and, Palazzo Della Rovere,  A private smaller manor of his own that bought near the shore in secret location

Pre-Hogwarts: Ezra was born to Thane Greenaway and Clarinda Diggory. The Greenaways were a family with certain type of reputation known to make rash decisions and quick calls with their fortune. They were always wealthy but also very greedy and it caused them great failures from time to time and people didn't find them good allies. Thane Greenaway was an exception to this, being very careful with money and thinking ahead. Greenaways were also known for "tainted blood" with Thane's grandfather having a secret love affair with a muggle woman and making their son (Thane's father) the heir. Ezra liked his mother's family, Diggorys more than the Greenaways and always felt uncomfortable with his father's brother Luca around.  

When he was 9, his parents had another child, his brother Thane Jr.

► physical;

Face claim: Hugh Dancy Eye Color: Blue, grey, green and partly hazel... Honestly it's hard to wrap up. Hair Color: dark brown Height: 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm)

► Story: Ezra was a shy child. He didn't like to perform and much rather learned things in secret and only represented himself in public after he was sure of himself and his capabilities. He had a small friend group of people who were more mixed blood than some of the other Slytherin students were at the time. They also socialized with other house members. Ezra rarely got in trouble and liked to focus on school, wanting to do great things in his future and dreamed of travelling around the world and hoped to discover new things. When Ezra was 15 his father Thane passed away and his father's brother Luca claimed their family manor, since Ezra wasn't of age yet. Ezra was against this and rebelled him, fighting for his and his mothers rights. In the end Luca got what he wanted and Ezra, his mother and little brother were forced to move to live with her mother's family and often friends.

Two years after graduating, Ezra made a decition to travel across the Europe. He lived in France for a year, trying to write a novel and staying with his mother's family friends and then traveled to Italy where he met Agata della Rovere. He instantly fell in love. He spent time with her family and they were very smitten with Ezra, as they knew the Diggorys and respected them. Agata waited to give an answer, reminding him that he still had things to see and she wished for him to remember his passions and dreams. He left back home to finish the novel he had started but It didn't come out successful. It's been said that the book didn't have the same spark his later works did and that the plot was confusing and jumped around.

After his failed book he had a change of heart about his future plans and longed again for Agata. He wanted to marry her and start a life together despite them having very different goals. She agreed to marry him now but when it came to the point to say I do, she feared for their future and couldn't say yes after all, running away and  breaking his heart.

After the catastrophic wedding Ezra was humiliated and found himself yet again with no plans and no fortune of his own make. He was 23 at the time. He wanted to privately rethink his life somewhere far away from the society, even though everyone seemed to be on his side. He made a big decision to chase after his original dreams after all as that was what Agata would have wanted from him and made plans for a longer journey..

Books:

During the next 10 years of his life, Ezra traveled through the world encountering many creatures and miracles he had only heard rumors about. He started to write about these adventures, as well as about his own life story and finally reached an audience.

When ever he would return to England, he would be praised by the wizard society. Everyone was interested to learn about his finds and hear the new tales and people devoured his books. He became to enjoy the attention and graving for it, wanting to do even greater things in hope of it attracting more readers and wealth. He felt braver than ever and was starting to be a very skilled wizard.

After turning 30, he had written 12 sell-out books and  the all time going adventures started to tire him and he felt as if he wanted a take a break and rest. His greatest wish of gaining massive audience for his books was starting to take a different turn and wreck his nerves.

At this point he had also abandoned hopes of having his own family as he felt married to his job. He is offered a position to give lectures at Hogwarts which his old school time dorm mate  Olyvar Yaxley arranged (during the HPHL timeline)  which he accepts. 

► relatives;

Father: Thane Greenaway Thane was a humble and patient man. He was sorted into Slytherin and held high ambitions of changing his families reputation and wanted to guarantee his own a stable future. He met Clarinda Diggory and the two married after he proved his worth to her family. He and Ezra were close and he admired his father a lot, even so much that he wanted to be sorted into  Slytherin like him.

Mother: Clarinda Diggory Clarinda and Ezra were much alike. Both shy and not loving being the center of attention. Yet she was loved by many and had friends in high places and could always trust on her family's good reputation. She didn't like the Greenaway family but fell in love with Thane. She was a Hufflepuff.

Brother: Thane Greenaway Jr.

Thane was only 6 years old when their father died. When Ezra was travelling, their uncle Luca not having kids of his own offered suddenly Thane (age 15) the opportunity to became his heir, if he would not be in contacts with the Diggory family or his brother anymore. To Ezra's great disappointment agreed to it. At that point Ezra knew well enough that Luca was in great debts and this was possibly just another scheme...

Uncle:Luca Greenaway

Ezra never liked his uncle who was far too sloppy with money and had loud opinions about muggles and The Ministry Of Magic. He was also didn't get along with the Diggorys and it annoyed Ezra. Things got more heated after the death of Thane Sr. and Ezra for the first time in his life was eager for conflict and argued his uncle greatly. It's well possible that he was really behind Thane's death.

► relationships;

Love interests:

Agata della Rovere Agata and Ezra met when he first traveled to Italy. He adored her from the moment they met and she loved that about him. Agata was greedy for that sort of attention and already had lot of admirers. Ezra was the most beautiful one to her and she admired that he had high ambitions and agreed to marry him eventually after pondering on it. It was only later that she started to think about how this marriage could turn out to be like. She feared for him to leave her for too long and having to be a stay at home and be a mother all alone, being also a very powerful witch  and career oriented, it scared her that she would have to be just someone's wife and arm piece. She didn't want to adventure with him either as she was more focused on the hopes and dreams of her own career. The last option would have been for Ezra to give up his dreams and that was also something she suddenly couldn't find herself asking from him so she decided to break his heart in order for him to forget about her and focus on himself.
