Everything about Arkum was bazaar, from how he dressed, to his hair, to he was uncanny athletic ability, to the peculiarly strange accent. He had absolutely no name brands, not a stick of clothes from the 'Outer World' as it was called. As for his hair, he didn't have the any faddish hair cut, it sprang up everywhere and looked like it had hacked away with a knife or pair of shears, but what made it truly out of the ordinary was that is was a pure shimmering silver! Arkum was also extremely athletic, but what made it strange was that he never tried out for the sports teams, when it obvious he could have walked on a claimed a varsity spot in a matter of five minutesâ€¦ which put a lot of the jocks unease and where extremely threatened by himâ€¦ but that was only what made him strange.<br/><br/>What truly made Arkum out of the ordinary was the fact that he never spokeâ€¦. or it seemed that wayâ€¦ he was nicknamed Silent Arkumâ€¦ anytime he did speak, his english was terrible brokenâ€¦ not a stutteringâ€¦ but more of an accentâ€¦.but it was not any kind of Accent from the "Outer World or the Inner World"<br/><br/>What made Arkum A Mystery was that he didn't belong to any of Hogwarts Wings â€¦ Not Slitherenâ€¦ Not Griffondor â€¦ No Hufflpuff â€¦. Not anything. Arkum attended classes, but he worked alone, and ate aloneâ€¦. The only two real person that he hung out with was the Giant Haggar and he Worked as Teacher's Aid for the Black Arts and Self Defense Course â€¦ but he never spoke to either oneâ€¦  Not when anybody was ever around anywayâ€¦.. He was a total and utter Mystery. There was a lot crushes among the girlsâ€¦ he always seemed to slip out class, before it ended. Another great mystery was that nobody knew where his room was or where he went after school.<br/><br/>If Hairy Potter was the red headed step child of Hogwarts. Arkum was the Ugly Red headed Orphan that everybody sawâ€¦. but nobody knew. In Fact the entire thing was rather a big secret. The thing was Arkum was technically not a wizard... and was absolutely not a muggleâ€¦ Haggar found him as a young child roaming the Black Woods Absolutely alone without a stich of clothing on himâ€¦. More or less something straight out of a "Jungle Book" story<br/><br/>The topic was brought up to the council... he was too young to be simply roaming about the black forest by himself. Yet they had absolutely no idea what he was... not a fairy or an elf... possibly a human mix of some kindâ€¦ what ever the case the was absolutely prohibited from going outside to Muggle World.  As Arkum grew older, Haggar which was basically like his adopted Guardian Proposed that he attend Classesâ€¦. that he needed some sort of social interactionâ€¦ after all although extremely different he was humanâ€¦ to the best of their knowledge anyway and had never posed or showed any signs of threatening or hostile behavior. Dombledor eventually agreed it would be good for the young manâ€¦ but with certain stipulations. He would not be Hatted, He would not be able to Join the Sports Teams, He would not be permitted to perform Magic Outside Classes!â€¦. and He would not be permitted anyone under any circumstances Tell anybody where he was from or Go into the OUTER-World for any reason whatsoever! He was attending classes for to help him adapt to the social society and to receive Education that was it! If he broke any of the rules he would be expelled!<br/><br/>Fortunately, Arkum had a bit of a soft spot with most of the professors... in a way they were his adopted parents, and he proved to extremely intelligent and helpful. Professor Snape... the dark arts instructor even had unofficially declared him as his personal teachers aid.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><br/>The first day!<br/><br/>Arkum wore a plain lose fitting sage green tunic with a grey hood over his shimmering silver hair. That just rested above his stormy grey eyes as he walked with an full of heavy text books... It was wierd, he had actually in way grown up in Hogwarts... so technically it wasn't his first day... just his first day attending classes as a student, so there was no real trace of confusion or nervousness about him. He knew where he was going, he knew all the back doors, he knew practicallly every inch of the school as nearly as well as he his way around the Black forest.He actually missed going out and helping Haggar in the Forest outside the school campus... who was very much like a father figure to him.<br/><br/>As usual the Slitheren heirarchy where running around causing trouble... as it was their offically undeclared "Mud a Mud Blood Day" But just when they had surrounded their targets and where about to dump their buckets of muck onto themâ€¦ Arkum walked right the middle of the green ring of Slitherensâ€¦ dutifully Carrying his stack of booksâ€¦. Immediately the chanting and jeering stopped! Didn't say a single wordâ€¦ he didn't have toâ€¦ He was carrying the teacher's text books! and Professor Snape was walking ten feet behind him!<br/><br/>Immediately "Mud the Mud Blood Day" was officially canceled and everyone scattered their separate ways. Arkum continued walking into the class room and began dutifully assorting the books on the teachers desk before sitting down on the far right on the very back row, his stormy grey eyes already glued to the text book a whole thirty minutes before the class even startedâ€¦.
