History:
Jason and his twin sister were born on a hot summer night in the small little village that their parents had settled in just east of London. They were a middle class family, and both of his parents worked hard and earned a good living, Jason and his siblings were never spoiled. They were raised to value money and possessions and to never take for granted what they were given. As a result, Jason developed a sense of giving, always wanting to help those who were not as fortunate as he was.

So he had a relatively happy childhood, though there were some issues. Jason loved to read as a child, often reading books meant for kids twice his age by the time he was four. That, coupled with the glasses he had to wear made him an easy target for bullies. There were many times where he had to run from school as soon as the final bell rang in order to try and avoid a beating, and he was not always successful. His twin sister, who was better looking and more popular, tried to stick up for him, but she could only do so much.

He had known that his mother was a witch for some time, it was not a family secret, and he had preformed accidental magic as well, but it still came as a shock when he and Janelle received their Hogwarts Letters on their eleventh birthday. Sorted into Ravenclaw, he finally felt as though he fit in. Here were people that were just like him, who were just as smart as he was. He excelled at all subjects, but found that he had a real aptitude for charms and transfiguration.

Something else happened in his fifth year...he started using contacts and started working out...and coupled with adolescence, well the girls started to notice, and while he did go on a few dates, he never had a steady girl while in school. After graduation, he knew that there was only one thing he wanted to do, and that was to teach at Hogwarts. but there was an age minimum, so he trained under the current charms professor for a few years, learning from the best as he would say, and the year after he turned twenty four, his mentor retired, and he was offered the full time position.

MUGGLE WORLD

RP Experience: 8 years
RP Sample:
Dammit! Would these emotions and feelings that she was having ever go away? Would she ever learn that the entire world was not out to get her? Chelsea tried hard, she really did, but the reactions like the one that she just had just kept on coming. It was not not something that she could control, though she desperately tried to do so. Living in fear for so many years had left her gun shy to say the least, and she was starting to give up hope that she would ever be "normal" again. That she would be able to have a day were the slightest sudden movement from someone would not send her into a panic attack. She wanted to stop it, but had no idea at all how.

Still, the girl she had run into did not seem to be too threatening, not even the slightest bit. She did look a bit...odd, but what was that worth. She was the last person to judge anyone. and given her current situation, she felt as though she had no right to do so anyway. She took a few moments to calm herself down and breath. This was not a life or death situation, she told herself. She was safe here, the headmaster had told her so. He was the only one that she knew of, that knew of her situation, and he had promised to help her with it as much as he could, though she did not have much faith in that. She was safe, and this girl, who had just introduced herself as Hayley, was not going to harm her. The most she would do is be annoyed and perhaps think a little less of her, but no one had ever died from either of those things.

When she had finally calmed down enough to the point to where she thought she could speak, she finally opened her eyes just in time to see Hayley put her robe back on. The glint of the prefect badge was evident even in this light, so she knew what it was even without Hayley being stuck with it. It was no big deal, she told herself, she was captain of the house quiddich team so that made the two of them equals, in a way. Nothing to be concerned about.
