Personality
First impression (others have of you): Always argues with teacher in classes- and sometimes wins, but is never seen to work outside of lessons.

Extracurricular Activities: Writing, talking and whistling.
Personal Weakness(es): Can be hot headed, overly harsh to those he doesn’t respect and never gets enough sleep
Personal Strength(s): Very smart- some would say gifted, really sticks up for those he loves and a complete wise-arse.
Close Friendships: Bech, Remus
Truth or Dare?: Dare.
Share a secret: I’ve written poetry before. Love poetry. And sent it to someone for Valentine’s day- unsigned.

Family History
Parents: Mr and Mrs Cresswell- George and Lavina. Both muggles. They have been smugly married for years and own a bed and breakfast in Torquay.
Siblings: Only child.
Tell us, in a paragraph, what it was like growing up with your family: From when he was seven, he wanted to be a lawyer or someone important, something his parents didn’t encourage. Still don’t. They wanted him to help with ‘the family business’ and live an ordinary, quiet life. But he could never adjust to it as he always argued his point to the last.

He was moved up a few sets in junior school and showed aptitude in almost every subject, but often argued with his chemistry teacher over what could be achieved. Truth be told, the hat almost put him in Gryffindor but his brains won out, and Ravenclaw it was.
