Dustin Burke
Birthday: February 23, 2013
Blood Status: Half-blood
Location of Residence: Braemar, Scotland
School: Hogwarts
House: Future Slytherin
Appearance:
Three Characteristics You Think You Are: Adventurous, Open-minded, Friendly
Three Characteristics Others Think You Are: Empathetic, Messy, Creative
Three Random Facts:
- Fell down stairs at eight years old, but was uninjured as magic made him bounce.
- Enjoys exploding snap, Quidditch, and handheld video games.
- Wants a pet rat when he finally goes to Diagon Alley for his school supplies.
Aspirations: For the short term he wants to start Hogwarts and do well in school up until he graduates. He is torn about what he wants to do as an adult but playing Quidditch is up there. As well as Healer or Oblivator. Or maybe a Unspeakable.
Opinion:
Quidditch - Fun to watch, exciting, and he is a little interested in playing a Keeper position for his house team once he's old enough to.
Shrunken heads - Strange, unnerving, but funny anyway. He does not want one anywhere near him though.
The sorting scarf - Its a bit disappointing since his parents were sorted by the hat and he was looking forward to hearing it talk to him.
Charms - He's seen charms at work and is most excited for this class, wanting to cast them as soon as he can.
Muggles - They're okay, he supposes, but he is really glad he isn't one.
Family:
Father - Douglas Burke - 38 - Head of Protection of Magical Species Department (Scottish Government)
Mother - Phoebe Burke (formerly Cross) - 36 - Hogwarts Librarian
Twin Sister - Ella Burke - 10 - Younger by 5 minutes
Younger Brother - Henry Burke - 5
Roleplay Example:
"I'm really glad to hear it!" After the fight he hadn't had much time to check on everyone between recovering himself and getting back to work. It was a relief to him to know at least one of the others was alright, not that he hadn't tried to check in on the rest of them. As a Healer he had felt obligated to make sure no one had been seriously injured or suffering after they had scattered. A hard task to do with everyone keeping a low profile and attempting to deal with the death of one of their own, their leader in fact. Auberon still struggled with that, she had been so young, so driven. For a moment the smile on his face flickered as the reminder hit him, but he recovered in time to keep the smile in place. This was not the place to let his guard to far down.
The Expo was a great way to distract his mind from recent events. "It has been, I really am sorry that we haven't had the ability to meet up in such a long time, but where better than here hmm? It is rather a wonderful event to catch up at." As they were both creature enthusiasts, and activists from time to time, it really was the best place for them to meet up. Not to mention the most likely one with their conflicting schedules in mind. "Honestly I'm pleased to see so many people here, the interest in magical creatures could do so much good for species endangered by ignorance and fear." While Newt Scamander's book had done wonders to change minds and hearts, Auberon still felt there was a long way to go in protecting the amazing creatures they shared the world with.
With a laugh he nodded, gesturing to Aurelie as Blake mentioned colleagues. It really was a small world and it had gotten smaller when he joined Liberamach and could recognize a whole cadre of other faces for one reason or another. "Yes, we work together at St. Mungo's. Different wards of course but we run across each other rather often." His attention was taken away from the conversation by the approaching students. Merlin but they looked so young, had he truly looked that way at their age? It was sometimes hard to remember being that age, even though he wasn't very old himself. "Students of yours?" This was perhaps the more exciting thing, to see the new generation out and about at an event like this. The exposure of creatures to the youth was a great way to garner understanding.
