... the boy who lived !
THE VANISHING GLASS
Callum is pronounced KAL-um. It is of Scottish and Gaelic origin, meaning "dove";
James is pronounced jayms. It is of Hebrew origin, meaning "he who supplants"
His mom didn't really think when he named Callum and to be honest didn't care, he was her son and that's what mattered. He found the name on a name tag on some grocercy store clerk and gave the same name to Callum.
Callum doesn't LOVE his name, but it's okay.
NICKNAMES: Cal; Sometimes he is called this by his friends, but they mostly call him Callum.
Greyback; This ones pretty obvious.
Wolf boy; Almost everyone who knows he's a werewolf call him this, he's not very happy about it either.
GENDER: Male
AGE: January 3rd, 14 years old
PLAYED BY: Justin Bieber[/size][/ul]
THE SORTING HAT
HOUSE: Slytherin; Callum is pretty happy with his house.
Sly, Cunning, Cold
BLOOD STATUS: Tainted pureblood
WAND: 11 inches, Sycamore, Boomslang snake Venom.
Boomslang venom, whether crystallized or in a rarer liquid core like Callum's, provides a small boost to jinxes and hexes thanks to its venomous qualities, Callum seems to think.
A relatively new wandwood, many of sycamore’s properties are as yet unknown. However, it excels at hexes, at least that's what Ollivander told Callum.
BROOM: Firebolt; used for Quidditch
EXTRA-CURRICULAR: Quidditch; Beater[/size][/ul]

MIRROR OF ERISED: His mother. In the mirror, he could see her not dead but lively and healthy, and his father long gone.
DEMENTOR: The door burst open and a large man came into the little Irish cottage. His hair was silver, not with age, but with the color of a wild animal. His yellows eyes flickered like the fire in the firplace, a smile coming across his hard features. "Give me the boy Lucille. Lucille. I know he is here. GIVE ME THE BOY." his voice grew louder, firmer. "NO!" Lucille shouted, running forward to meet Fenrir, to protect her baby. Fenrir pushed her, her head slamming against the ground. Fenrir sniffed the air, he walked for the cupboard under the stairs. He ripped open the door and bent down, looking at the fine boy before him. He was strong looking, his eyes full of intelligence. He knew he'd be good. "Come on son." Callum just stood there. His mother told him about Fenrir. "Come on." he said, his voice trying to be calm. He grabbed the boy, leaving the puppy in the cupboard. He took him outside sitting him on the porch. "Stay there Callum." he grunted as he walked in. Callum walked into the dark yard when a flash of green came from the windows, and Fenrir came out of the house, picking up his son, taking him back to Greyback Manor.
BOGGART: Fenrir Greyback, mostly because he has the element of fear and intimidation about him, and the fact that he killed his mother and now abuses him.
AMORENTIA: what does the amorentia potion smell like to them? explain the reasons behind the smells if they aren't obvious.
PATRONUS: german shepherd --
It was Christmas morning and Callum was four years old. His mother looked worn and tired, and her smile was strong on her face. "Come here son." she smiled as her boy stepped closer. The box under the tree was moving. "What it?" the young boy questioned, wanting to open the box. Lucille pushed the beautifully wrapped present towards her son. He licked his lips, leaping forward to pull the lid off of the box. Suddenly, a puppy with a red bow popped out of the box. Callum squealed with happiness. He really wanted a dog. Callum looks back fondly on this memory, knowing it was one of the few times he'd ever felt true, pure happiness.

Extraordinary writer
Extremely descriptive
WEAKNESSES: Mathmatical Equations (Had to use a big word XD)

HABITS: Says something he's writing; this annoys people a lot

Will smile out of the blue; its a habit his mom taught him, telling him if he smiled once in a while it would really make him happy, most people just find it wierd though.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Callum is an interesting person, his character could never be summed up, but we'll have to try. When your eyes are first cast upon the young man, he appears blank, emotionless and lonley. He keeps to himself, usually absorbed in whatever he tried to contain himself in. Wether it was eating, reading, writing, homework, when Vesper is doing something, his is abosloutley contained into whatever he is doing. Most people see him scribbling furiously in a little black worn notebook, no one bothering to ask what he could possible writing down. Little do most people know. Callum has this extraoridinary talent for planning, describing and using big words (Don't ask.). He sees beauty in everything around him, and the most beautiful words coming into his mind. Elaborate ideas always seem to be swirling through the young man's mind until he finally scribbles them down in his book, his prized possesion. Most of his stories he writes are morbid, stories of death, destruction and no love, reflecting of what he thinks he expirienced in his life. Anyone that has ever attempted to read Callum's book has been hexed with his infamous cunfundo curse of conjuctivitus curse.
Callum is a Slytherin through and through carrying all the qualities that Salazar Slytherin himself had. He is quite cunning in the sense, doing most things with such a shrewd and sly manner it is hard not to admire.
He's quite skillfull in school, always excelling seeing as he greatly applies himself, earning him the respect among his teachers, even though Callum hates authority. The only adult that Callum ever really respected was his mother, even though he only knew her till he was about 3 years old.
Even though Callum doesn't greatly respond to authority, he has a strong ambition to please his teachers, as much as he despises them. Not only that, he wants to achieve power, and like alot of Slytherins, Callum is also a Machiavellian, manipulating others around him when he wants to get ahead, that is when he actually communicates with others. Callum isn't the most scoiable of people, preferring to remain alone. He doesn't want to waste his time trying to impress someone, trust someone so that they'll leave him when someone bigger and better comes along. He doesn't want to have to fight to be in power, even though he would. He thinks its a waste of time. If someone really wants to be his friend, they'll come find him.
Another Slytherin like quality that Callum has is resourcefulness. He is able to deal with new situations skillfully and promptly.
Now, Callum doesn't like cities or large crowds preferring to stay in the quietness of nature and sticking to the country, looking around and writing stories down and ideas. When walking under the grounds you can see him sitting under a tree, watching the grass sway or water in the lake ripple or simply laying in a field watching the clouds float by. He always has a scowl on his face, looking angry all the time usually scaring off any potential friends.
He is always contemplating many things, thinking about life, love, death, religion, happyness, and most of all, Fenrir Greyback. Everyday, the monster remains imprinted in his mind, appearing. He can still hear the screams of his mother as he was ripped away from her, causing more and more anger to well up inside him. As he grew older, he grew angrier and angrier hating Fenrir Greyback for all he was worth, and hating the monster that he made him and destroys him with almost everyday beatings. When someone does get to know Callum, they find that he is actually alright. He is calm, cool and collected and enjoys a good joke. He is fiercley loyal and does enjoy having a good friend, that is if they can put up with his behavior. Overall, Callum is a lonley, angry boy. He is emotional and intelligent at that.[/size][/ul]
THROUGH THE TRAPDOOR
Callum was close with his mom, though he doesn't exactly remember her.
FATHER: Fenrir Greyback, 47, honorary death eater (no tattoo.)
Callum hates him and often disobeys him, causing him to be beat several times a week for it.
SIBLINGS:---- greyback, older sister
---- greyback, older sister
----- greyback, younger sister
----- greyback. younger brother
---- greyback, younger brother
---- greyback, younger brother
They are all very close.
HISTORY: Even as a child, Callum always enjoyed being alone. He'd always be running around by himself in the massive pattick of the Dorian home. It was Christmas time when he was four years old when he got his German shepherd puppy, King. King was his best friend, and they would spend countless hours roaming the fields around the house, playing with toy wands and spending hours and hours on end together. It was the next year, January of the new year, and Lucille Dorian and her son, Callum were sitting on the couch. Lucille was waving her wand around, creating little misty animals that jumped, danced and played about. Callum and his german shepherd puppy, King were watching the animals in delight, when there was a hard, firm nock on the door. Lucille looked up from her wand, looking to the door. Her blue eyes flecked with gold looked to the door, a familiar sense of horror crossing her face. She looked to her son. She knew he had come for him. "Callum, take King and go hide." Callum tried to ask questions, "NOW!" she screamed. The young boy picked up the puppy that was growing larger every day. He ran to the cupboard under the stairs, leaving the door cracked to see what was going on. The door burst open and a large man came into the little Irish cottage. His hair was silver, not with age, but with the color of a wild animal. His yellows eyes flickered like the fire in the firplace, a smile coming across his hard features. "Give me the boy Lucille." his voice came out like nails scratching a chalkboard. "He's not here." she said firmly. "Lucille. I know he is here. GIVE ME THE BOY." his voice grew louder, firmer.
"NO!" Lucille shouted, running forward to meet Fenrir, to protet her baby. Fenrir pushed her, her head slamming against the ground. Fenrir sniffed the air, grinning as he walked for the cupboard under the stairs. He ripped open the door and bent down, looking at the fine boy before him. He was strong looking, his eyes full of intelligence. He knew he'd be good. "Come on son." the boy just stood there. His mother told him about Fenrir. "Come on." he said, his voice trying to be calm. He grabbed the boy, leaving the puppy in the cupbord. He took the boy outside sitting him on the porch. "Stay there Callum." he grunted as he walked in. Vesper walked into the dark yard when a flash of green came from the windows, and Fenrir came out of the house, picking up his son, taking him back to Greyback Manor.
Fenrir Greyback took him to the Greyback manor, raising him with a few other siblings. Callum was Fenrir's pride and joy, being his first born and bred son. He was always proud of Callum for his pride and determination, even though he was a rebel toward Fenrir and was beat for it. It wasn't a few years later till he finally figured out that his mother was killed by his own father, and he hated him even more.
When Callum was eleven, he got his Hogwarts letter and was shipped off, happily of course. Callym knew in his heart that he was going to be in Slytherin. His mother was a Slytherin and she always told him that is what he would be. She told him that she wouldn't care either way, but he cared. When the sorting hat was placed atop his head, it seemed to contemplate whether he would be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but then it whispered something about his tortured soul and threw him into Slytherin. When Callum watched all of the other students run to their tables, all of their housemates screamed and cheered with excitement, all Callum got was a few claps and a 'Woo a Greyback!'. He sat in the corner, as far away from everyone else as possible. Yes, others did try to communicate with the Greyback but when all the got were short, curt responses, they just gave up. They gave up like they all did.
Everyone knew that Callum was different. All he did was drown himself in classic novels, did his homework, walked around outside and scribbled in the black leather book. The other Slytherins never heard a peep out of him, and never really bothered him. One Slytherin tried to take the book off of him, and instantly they were met with a conjuctivitus curse. No one ever bothered the oldest boy Greyback again. Only one person ever dared to talk to Callum, and they were rewarded with the most loyal friend, intelligent, hilarious and courteous boy but so emotional and angry. Callum is really that kid in the corner, the kid that no one ever notices. The kid with the dark history and screams embedded in his mind. If only anyone dared to ask.
