Who thought it would be a good idea to teach children dark arts?

Did no one raise any concern over that?

It didn't exactly last long and was eventually scrapped after just 1 year... but still, what on earth were they thinking...

Maybe they were thinking of renaming the school to Deathwarts?

History: Alexander has had a fairly normal history up until now. His family was always caring and supportive and he lived a pretty normal life, having normal friends and a normal house and family.

At school he is good but not great at pretty much everything whether they be physical or mental and if he wasn't good at something he'd become incredibly fixated, and almost obsessed with it, focusing until he became good at it.

Recently he got the letter to go to Hogwarts and has picked a pet and a wand, the wand being very suited to him, matching him well and bonding with him although it has only been a short amount of time. Now Alexander vows to become the Minister for Magic in time.

Does it matter what wand type we use?

Does it matter what wand type we use?

The different wand types give different characteristics but if you won't include the wand in your posts it doesn't matter

Um. Which is the most versatile? I can't really discern anything from the Wiki.

[Transoxthraxia]

Name: Tereza Lupei.
Age: Fourteen.
Year(For a student only): Year 4.
House: Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Hufflepuff Slytherin Ravenclaw Gryffindor.
Wand Type: Ivy Unicorn Hair.
Pet: Madam Nesbitt, a Black Cat, who is still a kitten. She was the runt of the litter of her mother's cat, and, Tereza, being in a similar situation, bonded with it quite well.
Quidditch Position: Do we need to? Tereza isn't particularly sporty.
Blood-status: While both her parents were Muggles, she has inherited a particularly strong with gene from one of her relatively close cousins.
Family: Vasile Lupei, her father, Stefana Lupei, her mother, as well as seven brothers and eight sisters, none of whom attend Hogwarts. She is the youngest, by a fair distance, as her next youngest sibling, Ioan Lupei, is four years older than her.
Personality: People often describe Tereza as the person who appears to be shy, but, once you get to know them, you understand that they're quite the energetic person around those that they like to be around. When around those that she considers her friends or those she can trust, she is quite talkative, funny, and very fun to be around. When she's around strangers, particularly boys that she finds cute, she almost seems to become mute.
Appearance: She's 4'11, and weighs just under ninety pounds, slightly underweight for her small height. She has long, blonde hair that falls down to her mid-back, which occasionally can be slightly curly, though she despises when it is and attempts to keep it straight at all times. She has a moderate, upturned nose grey eyes which are large, and slightly curved, nearly Altaic, and a mouth with a slight overbite that causes her upper lip to sit further forward on her lower lip. She has the need for, but rarely wears, her glasses, which are for distance. They are thick-rimmed things that fall down her nose quite a bit.
History: (Note: I don't really know how a lot of this wizardry jazz goes on so bear with me on this) Tereza was born to a large Romanian Family, with seven brothers and eight sisters. While her parents ardently deny that she was a mistake, frequently her brothers tease her about being the youngest by four years. Unlike the rest of her family, Tereza showed an affinity for the spiritual and magic from a young age, always interested in the books that her cousin occasionally brought for her to cheer her up. As she grew older, it became more and more apparent that she had in fact inherited her mother's side's affinity for magic, something that had been dwindling in that side of the family for ages. Since her mother and her father had shunned and forbid anything that had to do with the subject, Tereza was more or less removed from that world.

When she had turned ten, however, an invitation to Hogwarts came in one day when her father and her mother were out at Church, and Tereza had been grounded for punching her brother in the nose after he had taken a book from her. The invitation came through the mail, and as Tereza was bringing it inside, along with the rest of her mail according to her chores, she noted that it was there. She left a note on her bed saying that she had run away, and it was the fault of her brother, before heading off to Hogwarts.
Interests: Most magical subjects, especially Divination, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures. She doesn't care for sports or music at all.
Strengths: Her high level of intelligence, her enduring resilience, and her near-eidetic memory when it comes to things that she's interested in.
Weaknesses: Cute boys, Patrick McMurry, cats (Kittens in particular), most books that aren't about romance or other fictional stuff. Anything that she's not interested in she'd have a hard time learning about or caring about.
