Character Information Name: Andrew Malcolm Frazer House: Gryffindor Age: 16 Birthdate: 4th January
Year: 6 Bloodline: Muggleborn Heritage: English/American Personal History: Andy is a military brat. His father, Edgar Frazer was born in America and joined the army at a young age. Andrew's mother, Beth, is English and met Edgar on a holiday in the US when she was 19. She moved there a year later to marry Edgar and 3 years later they had Andrew. For the first 4 years of his life Andrew grew up on a military base, a place he found stuffy and unbearable. There were so many rules and regulations and he was just a kid, he just wanted to run around and be free. Instead he was constantly doing chores. He wished they could be anywhere but on that base as he didn't have a close relationship with either of his parents, nor did he have any friends. He soon got his wish and over the next five years they moved 4 times, something which Andrew hated as much as staying at the base. What was the use of freedom if you didn't have time to make friends and explore your world? He did find one source of comfort and that was TV. On TV he could watch what it was like to be a normal family and have friends. He relished it. It was watching TV that he discovered two strange things about himself. One, he made the coffee table float when his father told him turn off the TV. And two, girls didn't interest him at all. It was the local weatherman that did it for Andrew. He couldn't keep the first thing a secret, his father had seen him move the table, but he knew he'd have to keep his sexuality a secret. He knows exactly what his father thinks of homosexuals and he's in no hurry for him to find out.
Edgar was confused as to why Andy could move a coffee table without lifting a finger and he was deeply ashamed he had such an unnatural son. He threatened Andy and told him that he was going to send him for 'tests', but after Andrew promised he would enlist in the army when he was old enough, Edgar decided to keep his son's magic a secret. Having a son serve his country was evidently more important than finding out what caused the unnatural-ness. He even kept it a secret from the boy's mother.
When Andrew was 10, Edgar, now a Colonel, got an offer to move to England for a permanent position teaching at a top military academy. He took the opportunity and the family headed back to Beth's home country. Andrew was eager, finally somewhere they could settle for a long time. However, the family had just enrolled him in public school when his Hogwarts letter arrived. Edgar agreed he could go if Andy would still keep his promise to enlist when he graduated. Andrew agreed of course and headed off for Hogwarts under the guise of joining a military school. Edgar was determined Beth would never find out her son was strange.

Personality: While not the most common sign for Gryffindors to be born under, the combination of Gryffindor aims with Capricorn traits results in wizards who are exceptionally well balanced. For once, here are Gryffindors who will not go charging off on quests without first making thorough preparations and arranging for backup. They are resourceful, well grounded, and self confident, hard workers, and extremely reliable. You can always trust a Gryffindor Capricorn's word; they will not only mean it when they say they will do something, they will follow through successfully. House Prefects often come from this sign, because they are responsible, good students, and natural leaders. What many people forget about the Capricorn is that although they are part goat, they are also part mermaid. That mermaid half represents all the fanciful dreams and lofty ambitions that the quiet Capricorn often hides beneath an unassuming surface. Perhaps Capricorns are sorted into this House because the House needs balance, but those hidden dreams and whimsies probably have a lot to do with it, too.
Without truly realising it, the first ten years of his life have shaped who Andrew is. He is extraordinarily polite and respectful to adults, having grown up answering ‘yes Sir’ and ‘no Mam’ to every adult he had contact with. But with people his own age, he’s completely different. He can bend and stretch his personality so he can relate to anyone, no matter what their race, religion or background might be. He’s very outgoing and yet he’s more than happy to spend a day by himself, wrapped inside his thoughts. He is careful not to draw too much attention to himself, the last thing he wants is anyone wondering about him and figuring out he’s gay. Andy keeps it a secret from everyone, even his closest friends, in case SOMEHOW it gets back to his father. He is starting to crack under the pressure though, he hates having so many secrets.
Andrew will defend anyone he considers an underdog probably because he’s overcompensating for not being able to stand up for himself to his father. He has lost count of the number of fights he’s been in; it’s the one area of his life where he doesn’t think everything through first before acting. While this does draw unwanted attention on him, he figures it’s for the best, it makes him look manly.
He has a rather dry sense of humour and he overuses sarcasm as a defence. If he has a problem, rather than sort it out, he’ll push it to the side.
Physical Description: Andrew thinks he's rather plain with brown hair and brown eyes. He's a decent height, standing in at 5'8" and he's of average weight, about 145, perhaps a little bit on the skinny side. He's not very muscular at all but he's trying to build his upper body strength up. He has a small scar on his cheek and needs glasses to read. Current Body Model: Drake Bell Future Body Model: Ashton Kutcher
Likes: Men, television, films, sleeping in, coffee, roast dinners, giving presents, scars, firewhiskey, all animals (except cats), staying in one place, summer rain, curling up beside a fire, baseball and cough medicine. Dislikes: The Army, his father, his appearance (except for his scar), prejudice, travelling, chores, green tea, Mrs Norris, not being able to come out, feet, not being able to use electricity at Hogwarts, snow, lovey dovey people, Peeves, and swimming.
