Name: Leviticus Bole
Age: 18
Year: Graduated from Hogwarts in 1994, Slytherin House.
When the war breaks out: He will be a Death Eater.
Brief History: The Boles are purebloods and the family has been Slytherins and Ravenclaws for generations. There are rumours that, at one point, a Hufflepuff married her way into a somewhat distant branch of the family, but she produced no children before she died tragically during a large family gathering. Leviticus, who hates to be called that, is proud of his family (if not their thoughts on naming children) and is proud to have been a Slytherin.

He played quidditch, as a beater, and was quite good at it. The Beater's Bible was his favourite book and taking out the seeker was his favourite tactic. He also excelled in Charms, while at Hogwarts, which landed him a position in the backroom laboratory of a charms shop, Donovan and Duncan, in Knockturn Alley. The laboratory is of questionable legality, as is the work that Bole does, using complex charm-splicing techniques to develop high-priced charmed objects for his clients. Donovan and Duncan also shares a professional relationship with Borgin and Burkes, allowing the D&D employees to examine the charms used on B&B items, provided they do no damage to the original -- and often unique -- charms and objects.

Random Snippet: The world doesn't revolve around quidditch anymore. Bole doesn't practice every morning and listen to Marcus Flint go on about plays every evening. Instead, he sleeps in just a bit more each morning, then goes to the lab for the day, and in the evenings he reads thick tomes devoted to the intricacies of charm-identification and -splicing.

Today, though, he's having a difficult time remembering that. If he leaves work right now, he could be at a feeder-league match in minutes. Flint's playing Chaser in Reading and there's a game this afternoon. On the other hand, there's a charmed Faberge egg from Borgin and Burkes sitting at his bench, waiting for him to identify the charm-structure so that he can duplicate it on a set of bookends later this week.

Bole doesn't play quidditch anymore, though every now and then he'll get an owl from old friends in Glasgow, about pick-up matches they've played on the weekends. He's tempted, sometimes, to go home to his mother for a weekend, so that he can play, too. It wouldn't be the same, though, and he knows his style isn't well-suited to pick-up matches. Instead, like today, he puts his work aside to go and watch a real match. The egg will be there tomorrow.

Works Like a Charm
