You will stay in the orphanage during the summers.

Rivalry with Slytherin will make it difficult to make friends in that house.

PERKS

[MEMORY SPELL SPECIALIST] You have a gift for memory charms allowing you to erase and replace memories with an almost preternatural skill once you learn the required spells.

[MOSTE POTENTE POTIONS] You have an intrinsic grasp of potion making and will find both the technique, the principles and the theory unusually easy to grasp.

ITEMS

[WAND] A wand, you don’t have it yet mind you, but you’ll get one soon enough on a trip to Ollivanders. You can choose the wood type and between one of the three wand cores he produces wands with (Unicorn Hair, Dragon Heartstring, and Phoenix Feather). Different Cores and woods tend to act a little differently but regardless what you choose the wand will choose you almost as soon as you’re introduced. Different woods may alter your historical personality (for all but Drop-ins) and therefore tendencies very slightly. (e.g. Cypress wands tend to choose brave people and you will as such have been a relatively brave child. Blackthorn may result in you being slightly more combative, etc.)

SENARIOS

[HAIRY SNOUT, HUMAN HEART]  After reading a heartrending account of a wizard’s struggle with lycanthropy you have decided to take it upon yourself to try to improve their prospects and public opinion.

Reward: At a glance you can see if something is ethically as well as physically monstrous and you are also preternaturally capable of tackling bigotry and increasing the acceptance of a given group in society.

DRAWBACKS

[BULLY TEACHER] A teacher of one of the main subjects  at Hogwarts despises you, will be cruel and vindictive towards you and will try to make your life miserable and get you expelled. They will be replaced by another if they leave.

[WEREWOLF] You have a large scar from where you were savaged by a werewolf. Dumbledore will have to make special arrangements for you. You transform 3 nights every month. It is exceptionally painful. The majority of people will fear and despise you if they should find out. You are an uncontrollable monster as a wolf. You may be able to attain Wolfsbane potion which will allow you to keep your mind during transformations.
