<div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/c3/5e/5ac35ee9c32e33a820719f414c14d427.jpg)</div>Name:<strong>Orion Reed</strong><br/>Age/Birthdate: 17 / September 2nd 2000 / Virgo<br/>Blood Status: Half Blood<br/>House: Ravenclaw<br/>Year: 1st Year<br/>Wand: Alder, Dragon Heartstring, 10 in, Whippy<br/>FaceClaim: Douglas Booth<br/>Height/Weight: 6'2" 170 lb<br/>Hair Color: Brown<br/>Eyes: Hazel<br/>Distinguishing Marks: Pouty lips, wild clean hair, burn scar on left elbow, pierced nipples<br/>Sexual Orientation: Gay, out and proud<br/>Home: London, England<br/>Personality: Intelligent, observant, analytical, exacting, can be sweet and helpful to others but in a rude, judgmental way. Hygienic, germaphobic, and has a facade of indifference. Sociable when in the mood, and can be a chameleon with different groups. Thinks quickly on his feet, in an erratic stream of consciousness. Due to being mute, his primary mode of communication is written or gestured. If they knew sign language, he’d gladly use that as he is fluent in it. Mostly blends into the background but pops into view to assist, sometimes startling his targets. Those who know him well enough would look for him, half-expecting his eager-to-please spirit to appear, even disappointed if they see he was not there.<br/><br/>Family: Obscure. The name Reed may sound familiar but comes with no story.<br/><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ophiuchus Reed</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://julialovesromeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/x382011_10102159943018707_950582794_n.jpg.pagespeed.ic.7eBUlMAAHN.jpg)(http://www.promod.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/PeterW005-600x750.jpg)(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y7ONi-IsbYs/V5I7ALyjxSI/AAAAAAAABFI/uKFs1gXjm7weaWcG5-TtQv7H5h1xr-SOACLcB/s1600/cropped10150web.jpg)<br/>(http://www.promod.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/PeterW017-600x750.jpg)(https://mediaslide-europe.storage.googleapis.com/mc2tlv/pictures/301/330/large-1472598809-a96158f8cfdce1c47aa04df2c5074843.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/20/91/1920910315488dcef0dd6d9556dc0659.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Griselda Reed</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/leslie-bibb-don-verdean-portraits-at-sundance-film-festival_1.jpg)(http://www.celebzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/leslie-bibb-at-don-verdean-portraits_3.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c7/be/dc/c7bedc107d94298c60174c6942e7a9cd.jpg)<br/>(https://78.media.tumblr.com/945f31fe2b4f7bb5fbc37e475a364db5/tumblr_om1ysgBqG71r43ne5o1_250.gif)(https://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2k1mqIuwj1r2x6gco2_r1_500.gif)</div></div></div><br/><strong>Ophiuchus Reed</strong>??? Deceased Father, American Pureblood Wizard. A fugitive who fled to England, married, and took his English wife's last name. The pureblood lineage and legacy from America is buried and unknown. Killed in a drunken duel in Knockturn Alley a few years after Orion’s birth.<br/><strong>Griselda Reed.</strong>Mother, Muggle, 42, Banker. No-nonsense, hardened woman who shoots disapproving looks when quirks occur. Still loving and family-oriented for a conservative Muggle. Reminds her dutiful son Orion that once he graduates from Hogwarts and returns home, he is obliged to use his magic to better her life.<br/><br/>History: Orion was a strange and bright infant who once incessantly talked and sang until one day uttering nothing at all. He simply grew lost in books and people-watching. This worried his widowed mother who found no explanation or solution. Griselda quickly put him to work. Disciplined him to be busy and immaculate with cleaning the house, dishwashing, cooking, completing loads and cycles of laundry, and even helping her with accounting when she doggedly returned home. When he was teenage enough, she told him everything her late husband confessed about the wizardry world, even directions to Diagon Alley where he would sometimes visit alone and penniless, eavesdropping and familiarizing what he could.<br/><br/>Likes: Playing rugby, chess, or bridge, reading fiction and non-fiction especially about gay geniuses, gay rights, world wars, wizarding wars, curses, mythology, and wizardry history, learning Gringotts security methods and the ancient architectures such as those in Diagon Alley, Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts itself. Also likes being valued and specifically requested, to be practical and of use to people, not just to authority or Mother. To elevate people is his motive. Likes it very much if people write or gesture back. Orion won’t consider a relationship serious until they know sign language.<br/>Dislikes: Dishonesty, deceit, disrespect, discrimination, being dismissed and ignored. Can't stand underdogs and cinnamon rolls being bullied. Won't easily accept low marks on his assignments. Dislikes being the reason or cause of people’s suffering.<br/><br/>Moments of Glory: Orion outshone his Muggle peers in classes, isolating him to befriending one: the weirdest androgynous kid who hid their face with long hair. Having at least one friend who was patient enough to read his handwriting was an accomplishment. Attending to crucial details Mother and other adults had overlooked got him praise on some days. Surviving muggy Muggle London until the day the acceptance letter came had felt an accomplishment in itself. Convincing his mother to let him go to Hogwarts instead of a prestigious Muggle school, the only one of their arguments that she let him win.<br/>Moments of Shame: Sometimes he gave his mother a hard time, pressing her for more information about his father’s side. She would burst to tears, tiredly lamenting how little she knew the man who made it hard to love. That proved to Orion she’d tell him if she could. He dropped it and grew disinterested in her thoughts. Orion later wrote a nasty letter "yelling" at his only Muggle friend who self-described and identified as a witch. It was a knee-jerk reaction that dissolved their friendship.<br/>Biggest Regret: Orion later discovered that his chastise led his old friend to jump from a steeple, killing themself brutally in a public square where sparrows and crows scattered in a loud, chaotic storm. He sobbed so loudly and uncontrollably much unlike his normal self it frightened his mother; he told her everything. She could say nothing but gave him a look he never saw her wear before, a look of pity and understanding. Never again, he silently vowed.<br/>Extra-curricular activities: Quidditch, Dueling Club<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://marriedwiki.com/uploads/bio/douglas-booth.jpg)(https://d3hp8xnxb3lun4.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/The-Rake-Douglas-Booth-00002x-1200x800.jpg)<br/>(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMDy9GvW0AAI3gM.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/RyD2m.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mercury, his Father's Black Cat</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://wonderopolis.org/_img?img=/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/f_8.jpg&amp;transform=resizeCrop,720,450)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mellific's Badges</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e9/Orion_Rav_1.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e5/Orion_Rav_2.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f1/OrionRav5.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fb/OrionRav4.png)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/OrionRav3.jpg)</div></div>
