| Bio: |  NAME: Michael Samuel Corner BORN: June 12th, 1980 LIVING IN: Appleby, England OWL: Orsino, a Eurasian Eagle Owl CAT: Claudia, an adopted stray kitten. HOUSE: Ravenclaw YEAR: Graduated WAND: 11", oak, unicorn hair PATRONUS: Langur Monkey BROOM: Nimbus 2000 LIKES: People, laughter, corn (as a very bad joke, but he does think it's tasty), books, cold nights, snow, house elves. DISLIKES: Awkward silences, glaring, mittens, pumpkin juice, the feeling after he walks through a ghost. BIGGEST DREAM: To play on an official Quidditch team, and as of recently, to live through the war. WORST FEAR: Losing his friends, being unable to play Quidditch, failing. DEXTERITY: Left-handed FAMILY MICHAEL is a half-blood; his father’s side of the family is pureblood as far as the line can go, but Michael’s mother is a muggle. Michael is the youngest child in his family of five. His mother, Annette Corner (previously Annette Johnson) is forty-three years old. She is unemployed and a sparkler of a woman, who loves to know about Michael’s life and often prods him for information about his love life just to irritate him. Even though Annette is a muggle, she acts as if she were born into the wizarding world. She doesn’t seem upset by anything, and she even took the news of Voldemort in stride (or as much as any human being could). She was very unsure about letting Michael attend Hogwarts this year though, but his father argued against letting him stay cooped up their home. Even without Dumbledore, he proclaimed, Hogwarts was still the safest place to be. Michael’s father, Stephen Corner, is forty-five. He seems to be the exact opposite of Annette. Stephen is a retired Quidditch player, where he was a Chaser for the Appleby Arrows. He now tends to a large garden in their backyard, and he sells the vegetables to the local grocer’s. He is stern and his face is often serious, so even when he is joking Michael can’t tell the difference. But his parents get along just fine, and as far as he knows are neutral on the subject of the war. Like Michael, they just want it all to end quickly and hope nothing comes their way. Michael’s older sister, Tammi Corner, is twenty-one years old and works in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, in the Obliviator Headquarters. She resembles his father, serious and to the point. But unlike the rest of his family, she has views on the war, and constantly bothers them with facts about the war and how they should join her side, and soon, because You-Know-Who is going to come and kill them all if they don’t help the right cause. Michael gets irritated by her easily and often shuts himself off in his room when she visits on the holidays, which thankfully isn’t often. HISTORY MICHAEL grew up in an average wizarding home. Sometimes it became a muddle though, because his father would want things the “wizard” way, and his mother wanted a telephone in the kitchen. Through compromises and sometimes sneakiness on behalf of his parents, Michael has grown up in a house with bits from both worlds. Tammi, being four years older than Michael, only played with him until she turned the age of ten. At that moment she became surer of herself, more pompous that she would be a witch and that Michael would inherit his mother’s genes and be a muggle. For being a six-year-old, it had always concerned him. He had so far shown no signs of magic, and he could see the worry in his father’s eyes when they sat down for dinner. Tammi no longer really talked to him until she came home for holidays. Even then she was always full of stories about Hogwarts and Michael felt his small child heart sinking deeper and deeper. His mother and father tried to keep up his spirits, proclaiming his letter would come. They gave him toy brooms to fly around the backyard in, and his father played little games of Quidditch with him when he wasn’t out playing for his own team. It was then Michael grew to love Quidditch, and his biggest hope was to become a student at Hogwarts so he could play the intriguing sport. As he grew older and Tammi continued to come back with pockets full of toys from Hogsmeade and describing everything about Hogwarts to him in detail (the only time she would really talk to him was when he begged to her about Hogwarts), Michael grew more and more determined to become a student. One month before his eleventh birthday he still showed no signs of improvement. It was a momentous occasion on that 12th of June when he ran out early in the morning to greet an owl, perched warily in front of the letterbox. He was overjoyed and nearly ripped the letter to shreds. It wasn’t even the magic Michael was concerned about; it was the Quidditch. UPON his arrival at Hogwarts, Michael was sorted into Ravenclaw. He took this as a good sign, wondering if it was later on in the year they would have to fight trolls rather than at the beginning (he heard some Gryffindor had done just that, and wondered when his turn would be). Michael was unjustifiably angry that he couldn’t join the Quidditch team yet. Frustrated, he threw himself into his studies, proving the label of Ravenclaw well. By order of his parents, Michael had to go home for Christmas holidays, which was something he continued to do over the rest of his years at Hogwarts. In his second year Michael joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team as a Beater. Michael grew to become friends with lots of the Ravenclaws, and even outside of his House. He was a cheerful person and often stopped to talk to all sorts of people from different houses in the halls. He even had a few acquaintances in Slytherin, never really taking the thought of them being truly evil to heart. He became particular friends with Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein. It was these two he invited to join him and Ginny at the DA meeting in the Hog’s Head that one day. Michael met Ginny at the Yule Ball, when she was taking a break from dancing with her partner. He offered to dance with her, boasting he wouldn’t step on her feet like Neville had. Michael tried to make himself particularly interesting that night for Ginny. It must have worked, because they started dating at the end of his fourth year after many chats and meet-ups in the halls. Michael liked her a lot, and liked spending time with her even more. Being a member of Dumledore’s Army was both exhilarating and terrifying. After all, if he were expelled he wouldn’t be able to play Quidditch. But it was during these lessons Michael began to enjoy magic even more, and soon became even more involved in his studies. It might have been this that threw off his performance in the last Quidditch game of the year, but either way Gryffindor had beaten him—-no, Ginny had beaten him—-and this caused him to jolt off his broomstick, metaphorically speaking. Ginny didn’t seem bothered at all by it, and it seemed to Michael that she even gloated about it. He often found himself staying up late in the common room with Cho Chang, discussing the game they had lost and coming up with different plans and strategies for the next year. Michael was glad of Cho’s company, since she seemed to see Quidditch as he did. Ginny had just joined that year, and Michael had always secretly thought that was a bit of a cop-out. At the end of the fifth year Ginny complained that he was being sulky and spending all his time with Cho. Michael accepted her words (not without some hidden bitterness), but didn’t dwell on the break-up. Instead, he found himself spending his time with Cho more freely now. Rumors even started that they were going out, and Michael wondered if Ginny had started them out of respite. EITHER way, at the beginning of sixth year he and Cho started dating. It wasn’t a very happy relationship though, as Cho seemed to be stuck on her previous boyfriends. He often found her complaining to him instead of just talking to him in most of their late night conversations. It drove him mad, and Michael finally sought the help of his mates, who decided solemnly for him that the best idea was to break things off with Cho. Michael knew that was what they would see, and agreed half-heartedly, mostly because he knew this would throw off the team for Quidditch. But he did it anyway, because staying with Cho was just too much of a sacrifice for the Quidditch team. Cho had blubbered and whined at him, but Michael had stood his ground. He tried to stay friends with her to save the Quidditch team, but she treated him as if he were a piece of fuzz stuck annoyingly on the end of her sock. Michael finally gave up on fixing ties between them, and wasn’t sad to see her leave Hogwarts at the end of his sixth year. But something else was happening in the wizarding world. Something infinitely more important than his girlfriend woes. Voldemort was back and angry, and Michael believed it whole-heartedly. When Dumbledore died, Michael found himself in a numb state that entire summer, trying to decide on what he should do. What would Hogwarts be like without Dumbledore protecting them? Should he join one of the teams fighting against Voldemort? Or should he stay home and try to protect his family? IT is a year later, and Michael is still caught in this dilemma. It was then he decided. DESCRIPTION MICHAEL loves to socialize, and doesn’t object to flirting with the girls. Since his break-up with Cho Michael dated Melinda Bobbin for three months, but they mutually broke things off. That’s one thing about Michael. He doesn’t hold grudges or resentment for anyone if they make him angry. He might fume for a few minutes, but he likes to talk too much to hate someone for very long. Now that common rooms are open for anyone, Michael will wander into any one of the four whenever he’s bored. He’s a voracious reader and can often be found staying up late by the dimming firelight, just dying to get to the end of a book. He often hides himself behind the curtains of his bed to plan out Quidditch strategies, even though there are no longer games to play. Because Michael grew up in a house filled with muggle things as well as magical, he often spins stories for his friends about absurd muggle inventions, sometimes stretching the truth for their enjoyment. Even though Michael doesn’t let resentment take hold of him, he often finds himself bragging about his accomplishments without meaning to. Because of that, he takes things very personally (example: the Quidditch game they lost against Gryffindor). He gets over them very quickly, but all the same his pride has been poked at and he doesn’t like that. He enjoys a light laugh at his expense, and enjoys laughing at others even more. Michael is a very open person and hardly keeps anything secret between himself and almost anybody. He doesn’t realize it, but he’s acquired his mother’s habit of nudging into other people’s lives and feeling no remorse over pestering them light-heartedly, and usually to the point of getting yelled at for it. MICHAEL is a boy full of pride, and you can hear it is his voice. His tone is open and airy, inviting anyone to talk to him. But at the same time you get the feeling that in his voice is that sound of "I'm better than you, but I'm nice enough to act like I'm not". This is all unintentional, of course. As previously mentioned, he often boasts, but with good intentions. That doesn't stop it from getting on people's nerves, though. Michael has the tendency to blame all of his problems on others, even if he is part of the problem. When it comes to romance, he always sees himself as the suffering hero and the girls irritating and hateful toward him after a break up. He knows it's a bad habit, and tries often to repair it. It hasn't been working though, because Michael still often feels he's the one always pulling the short straw. AFTER GRADUATION MICHAEL is confused about what to do now that he's graduated. It has been his dream since he could fly a broom to try out for a proffesional Quidditch team. But recently Michael has received an invitation from the Order to join in their ranks. Since Michael had been a dependable member of the DA, he is at a loss. Should he join in the fight against Evil? Or should he take part in what struggled to be a normal wizarding world amid all of the chaos? Michael remembers the DA fondly, and sometimes the spark of wanting to do something returns to him, and then joining the Order doesn't seem all that terrifying... ---------------------------------- Michael Corner is a character that belongs to JK Rowling, and Julian Morris isn't mine (sigh).
