True. Might be difficult at the moment though, isn’t your character technically already on a plane to New Orleans?

Personality: A naturally suspicious person, Anton has been left practically unhinged by the years of conflict, betrayal, destruction, chaos, and war in which he has grown to adulthood. His suspicious personality has become paranoiac, and his imaginative and creative streak has become delusional. A bright, arguably brilliant, young wizard, Anton has a keen readiness to know all that can be known, to uncover all secrets and lies and see through to the truths that lie at the heart of every perspective. Anton loves to listen, wanting to learn as much as he can from as many sources as he can, committing himself to paying very close attention to the people and surroundings that make up his environment. As for values, Anton is confused. His world is muddled. He does not know what beliefs and meanings he can trust. Already someone who was influenced by all sides, it made it worse for him by seeing many of his various inspirations and mentors either discredited or murdered, humiliated or martyred. He has the passion of a young man who wishes to give himself to a cause and forge his destiny, creating out of his youthful weakness a strong man, but he does not know where he can safely and trustingly place this passion, for whom or what his internal fire can burn. This is a torture for Anton, and he is a man suspended -- between passion and apathy, between cynicism and ardor, between life and death.
Brief Backstory: Anton was born to a marriage of members of two prominent aristocratic families of Russian wizards, both of whose bloodline can trace back generations to the foundations of wizardry in Russia and before the foundation of Russia itself. These old aristocratic families had immigrated to Great Britain after the fall of Grindelwald (whom they had fought against) and fought on the side of the Ministry of Magic in the First Wizarding War. Such a historically progressive Pure-Blood family was rare in the Wizarding World, and Anton's parents became allies of the Order of Phoenix during the Second Wizarding War.
Anton was thus raised in a progressive atmosphere of support for reforms and liberalization of the Wizarding World. He was taught to value justice and equality, and to disdain those who had antiquated views about Blood. Anton lived a happy childhood with his wealthy family, provided with very good education in magic and history before even arriving at Hogwarts. He was an eccentric, creative child, obsessed with great figures of the past and determined to be even greater -- to learn their secrets and to go beyond them.
When arriving at Hogwarts, Anton had pretty radical pro-Muggle views. This was influenced by the progressive political outlook of his upbringing, but Anton went even further, secretly harboring quite extremist ideas about destroying the Wizarding World as it was. As a young student for his first few years of adolescence, he viewed the Wizarding World establishment as corrupt and rotten to its core, needing uncompromising upheaval by the forces of progress and equality. He wanted radical freedom for all the traditionally marginalized and oppressed populations in the Wizarding World. Over the course of his education, these sentiments only became more extreme. Anton was more and more becoming a secret revolutionary.
However, during the great battle at Hogwarts during Anton's sixth year, one of William Darkenstone's followers struck Uvistral with a Cruciatus Curse. The pain of this torture left Anton unhinged during his recovery, and he began to grow increasingly disillusioned with the progressive political attitude he had held for so long. In fact, he became more open to influence by the Wizard Supremacists and their ideas. Overall, Anton simply believes that the modern Wizarding World is deeply flawed, and he is now leaning more towards a Wizard Supremacist outlook, although he keeps his new views just as well-hidden as his previous ones.
RP example (Optional): Silent and unobserved, Anton slipped into the forest under the vast darkening sky, not looking back. Anton was used to this course, passing unseen in the twilight, and unheard because of the natural murmur of the Forbidden Forest. In complete darkness he climbed over large roots and boulders, leaping across little streams as he moved deeper into the trees. Stopping to catch his breath, his eyes basked in the pale gleam of moonlight on the leaves of the trees. All of this felt so exciting and secret; he enjoyed it very much. Nightbirds rose above him in a rustle of wings; a few stars peaked wet and bright through quiet clouds. There hung above him the solemn anxiety of night that made his heart beat faster.
As he reached his destination, he spoke a single soft spellword, and a light breathed into existence on the end of his wand, like a feeble flame flickering on a thin wick. Stopping and crouching, he reached inside his cloak to pull out what he had come all this way to learn from: an ancient, blackened old book, stolen from the Restricted Section of the school library. He had come to this isolated place to attempt one of the rituals.
Reciting in a strained voice the ancient incantation, Anton allowed the dark power to flow through him as the divination ritual began. Glowing white lines began to shimmer on the forest floor around him, his voice seeming to billow and twist around itself in unnatural ways in the dark air, like it had been made physical in the form of smoke. The power of magic washed up and down over Anton -- he could feel it in every part of him, like some strange heartbeat. Closing his eyes, he found himself.
In the remoteness of the corners of his slumbering consciousness, Anton could see everything he had been; suddenly, with all the clarity of a real landscape, there rose before him a long wall of an old fortress and then, in the midst of that vision, he saw the empty prison floor.
He collapsed to his knees, weak all over, overwhelmed with a sense of the meaninglessness of life. Seeing, feeling, remembering, forgetting were all one in the confusion brought on by this dark ritual, all mixed up in the ache of his body, the fragmented murmurings of the forest and the steady hum of the magical energy flowing through the air.
It all ended. His wand and book fallen from his hands, Anton fell forward, palms in the soft dirt, eyes raised and glancing around with a terrible weariness, inspecting his natural surroundings. Anton felt at one with the dark forest. He felt anonymous within its uncaring depths. The ritual had worked. He had had a vision, though on returning to the realm of the present, he felt like he had escaped from the pit of the abyss. The lustrous green and black tones of the forest were oddly repellent to him now, but not ugly. It was life! Relief flooded through him.

Yes, he is accepted. At present, we are doing summer holiday stuff, although there are plans to have a party at my character's estate before the start of the fall term. I assume from your app you are fairly familiar at least with the general story so far.
