He is a half-blood wizard who was sorted into Ravenclaw in 1992. Due to his mother being Norwegian, his first and part of his middle name is of Norse and Scandinavian origin. Ulf joined Dumbledore´s Army and by proximity, the Order of the Phoenix and played a large role in the Second Wizarding War.

## Biography

Ulf was born 8th December Year 1980. In the beginning of 1981 Andreiko Igorobravitch tried to kill him but Ulf`s Godfather, Remus Lupin and Moody stopped Andreiko from killing Ulf.

Ulf growed up and was able to peform his first magic that proved that he was magical,the power peformed was a Psionic power combined with some sort of weak variation Legilemency that allows to guess the intentions of others should the user of said power spend enough time analyzing the personality of another for a decently long enough time.Another display of Magic was Ulf changing his natural hair color from black to wooden brown, though this is not to say he is a metamorphmagus as his hair was forever altered to a wooden brown color, only leaving a part of his hair at his neck somewhat dark.

### Diagon Alley

At the age of eleven Ulf traveled to Diagon Alley to buy things he needed for Hogwarts such as books, kettle, and obviously wand. He bought his rosewood wand at Ollivanders. Ulf encountered Ron Weasley and Harry Potter at the bookshop where Lockhart proudly proclaimed of being the next Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. Ulf-Harald initially tried to greet Harry & Ron but decided not to.

### First Year

1st September year 1992 Ulf traveled to Hogwarts with the Hogwarts Express.On the Hogwarts Express he met Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger.Ulf asked Hermione what she knows about Hogwarts and what he should expect. He was sorted to Ravenclaw but the Sorting Hat considered to sort him to Gryffindor first due to Ulf`s inner courage thus Ulf was a Hastall.He became friends with Arnold Jacksson from Hufflepuff, Leonard Switchwalk from Slytherin and Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw house.

#### School Life

Ulf-Harald was in the same class and year as Ginny Weasley. Ulf respected the rules of Hogwarts and was ambitious in his studies and was willingly to put extra effort in his studies even when he was not always a fan of subject. Despite not being a Slytherin, Professor Severus Snape, while not being too easy on Ulf, seemed to have a somesort of mutual respect for Ulf due to his intelligence, work and effort and was willing to honor Ulf. Another reason why Ulf seemed to be in fairly good terms with Severus Snape was because of Ulf was friends with Leonard Switchwalk, a Slytherin.Ulf mostly looked forward for Defence Against the Dark Arts, and while liking the class, thought Lockhart came off as a joke to say the least to Ulf.

Ulf grew more and more concerned regarding the Attacks of the Basilisk and decided to join the Dueling Club.Ulf returned to his parents during the Christmas of 1992.

#### Following Harry and Ron

When Ginny Weasley, a classmate of Ulf was "kidnapped" by the Basilisk, Ulf had enough, he together with Arnold and Leonard decided to save their classmate by following Harry, Ron and Lockhart into the Chamber of Secrets. Harry and Ron obviously did not know that Ulf and two of his classmates followed them by sneaking after. Ulf was seperated from all of his allies when they slided down to the Chamber of Secrets. On his way to find his friends and allies, Ulf fought off various snakes with Flipendo, Glacius and Vipera Evanesca.

#### Facing Tom Riddle

Ulf met "Tom Riddle" (before Harry entered the main Chamber of Secrets) during the search for Harry and the others. Tom told Ulf that his quest was in vain and created a illusion of a Death Eater that looked like someone Ulf have seen before. Suddenly Ulf´s mind was trapped into a somesort of "dimension" through the powers of the Diary that was projected by Tom Riddle. At first Ulf saw a corrupted and diabolical version of Salazar Slytherin, a husk of his formerly extreme but noble and well meaning self whom transformed himself into a "Phantom Basilisk" and the Death Eater Ulf saw earlier riding the Phantom Basilisk. Ulf managed through great work and effort outsmart the Phantom Basilisk and knocked the man riding the serpent off. Ulf awoke and his mind returned to his body. Ulf Realizing the dangers Harry now was in ran and found his two other friends and the three decided to find Harry. Suprisingly to Ulf, both Arnold and Leonard had also met Tom Riddle. To their Luck when they found Harry Tom Riddle was already defeated and so was the Basilisk thus Ginny Weasley was safe. Much like Harry,Ron,Ginny and Lockhart they fled from the Chamber with Fawkes the Phoenix, though they waited for Harry and the three others left before Fawkes came back as Fawkes seemed to know about Ulf-Harald, Leonard and Arnold.

### Year 2

In the Hogwarts express,together with Luna and his two friends Ulf was hoping for himself that the following year would be a normal year and not something like the last year.Ulf accidentaly spilled juice on his friend Arnold which he quickly apologized for to which Arnold responded with a simple "i will be fine i just need to wash it off". All of the sudden at the Great Bridge the train stopped and then the Dementor entered the train which made Ulf-Harald together with Luna and Leonard decide to lock the door and hold it tight so the Dementor would not be able to come into their train compartment. Then Ulf realized something important. Arnold was still in the bathroom to wash off the juice that was spilt on him.Ulf together with Leonard decided to crawl through the ventilation system to find Arnold as they snuck through the Dementor and with sheer dumb luck were not noticed by the creature of Azkaban and found their friend asking him if he was alright.Then they decided to sneak back to their seats.At the Feast at Hogwarts Ulf stated it was insane to let Dementors guard the school instead of using Aurors. During the year Ulf admired the new teacher in Defense Against Dark Arts Lupin and developed a liking for him, Remus Lupin casually told Ulf that he knew Ulf since he was a kid, without revealing too much of the young wizard´s past as Remus witheld talking about the Dark Commander who tried to kill Ulf when he was just a baby. Harald watched the Quidditch match where Harry was attacked by Dementors and lost his broom .When more information and details came out regarding Sirius Black Ulf started to slowly but safely notice that something fishy about the story of Sirius Black killing innocent muggles when more and more inconsistencies came out through rumors regarding Harry seeing Peter Pettigrew´s name on Marauder´s Map, the fact that Pettigrew´s wand was not found (not to mention Sirius got no trial). Ulf started to question the whole story about it and even started to ask Fudge himself through a letter to which Cornelius Fudge casually wrote back stating it was just coincidence.

At his 13th Birthday, Ulf met his godfather who traveled to Hogwarts just to deliver a cake and presents. One of these presents was a pet wolf which would become his pet he named Akela.

#### Saved by Lupin and Diggory

When Ulf was going for a walk in the snowy forest with his wolf pup Akela it was getting dark and the Dementors were coming to much of Ulf´s fear. Ulf and Akela started to run back to the school but two Dementors caught up with them. To Ulf´s and Akela´s luck however Remus and Cedric saved them both from the foul beings known as Dementors.Overtime Ulf got to know Cedric and they became friends while about various things. Cedric noted the uncertainty in Ulf and gave him advice of what he could do to feel somewhat more important to the world. Cedric told Ulf to apply to the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, Ulf was hesitant at first but later decided to apply to at least be a reserve/back up player.

#### Joining the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team

After christmas, Ulf-Harald applied the Quidditch Team of his respective house. Ulf got to be a reserve player. While Ulf was not needed in the following match, he still felt honored to be a part of the Quidditch Team.

#### Attacked by Peter Pettigrew

Ulf was one day casually enjoying his weekend at the school, considered to give Hagrid a present to comfort him over the fact that Buckbeak would get executed when he suddenly saw a mysterious man that fitted the description of Peter Pettigrew according to books explaining recent history at Hogwarts and not to mention Remus description of his friendship with the three. Ulf decided to ask him if he was Pettigrew but was hit by Petrificus Totalus Curse by Pettigrew as the Pettigrew man transformed himself into the rat refered as Scabbers. Moments before Remus Lupin entered the Whomping Willow he found Ulf-Harald John laying on the ground, alive but petrified by the curse. With a Finite Incantatem Ulf was freed and told Remus everything he knew and just saw. Remus told Ulf to go to the Castle and talk to Dumbledore.

Ulf told Dumbledore everything that just have happened and Dumbledore now realizing the possibility that Sirius Black may have been framed from the beginning. Ulf was awarded twentyfive points when Sirius name was cleared (At least for Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Remus, Hermione and even later Snape himself)

### Year 3

On the way back to Hogwarts in 1994 for his third year Ulf was disgusted by the news regarding the Attack on the Quidditch World Cup by the Death Eaters, so much so he spat at the Daily Prophet and threw the newspaper out in the lake the train passed by and was furious over the fact that little was done about it. At the great feast, Ulf was impressed by the introduction of the Triwizard Tournament, he loved Durmstrang`s entrence and thought for himself if he or his friends could become a champion of the Triwizard tournament, but when Dumbledore stated that students around seventeen to be allowed to enter Ulf was slightly let down by that but understood later it was necessary due to the dangers.

Ulf was suprised like all the others on how Harry became an participant of the Triwizard Tournament alongside Cedric,Viktor and Fleur.He wondered how that was possible and if Harry did put his name in the goblet of fire or if there was some mistake. Despite this he did not mind it much but he was worried wether or not Harry would be able to survive the three coming challenges.

#### Conflict with Pansy Parkinson

When people decided to make fun of Harry with the "Cedric Rules Potter Stinks" buttons, Ulf stood up for Harry, stating that people should not care what have just happened and that they should see it as an extra possibility of Hogwarts winning the Triwizard Tournament, pointing out its also foul and immature without considering that Harry might be telling the Truth. Though his ideas and quotes did get some people calm down and realized how immature the buttons were, Pansy Parkinson however decided to retaliate at Ulf by making fun of him, making Ulf fall down the stairs by jinxing the shoes, and even took out her problems with Ulf on Leonard, a Slytherin with both physical and magical force, which made both their lives a misery. Pansy also decided to cast some sort of Jinx or Hex on Akela to give the wolf hot spots like a dog or a cat.One day Ulf created a spell, .The Wasp Nest jinx which he tested on Pansy as revenge for bullying him during a duel. Severus Snape then asked Ulf to come to his office after using his new invented jinx.

#### Detention with Severus Snape

After getting his revenge of Pansy Ulf was summoned to the office of Severus Snape. Professor Severus questioned Harald`s "antics" by stating that a Ravenclaw like Ulf should know better than to behave unlike an "reckless,arrogant Gryffindor" but stated that he will give Ulf this "Inventing a spell takes a lot of effort at such a young age". Ulf responded with saying that Pansy Parkinson has misbehaved and even attacked fellow Slytherins for not agreeing with her or her Wizarding Supremacist believes as well and Snape should consider that to be a disgrace to his house and stand up for Leonard, a Slytherin. Severus was skeptical over the response he got but then was willing to listen & consider to what Ulf had to say, as it was recognized that Pansy did wrong Leonard Switchwalk, a fellow Slytherin whom Snape praised, even slightly more so than Pansy and even Draco due to Leonard not making the mistake of being seduced by Magic Supremacist ideals like Pansy and Draco .Snape decided to draw points from both Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Both Ulf and Pansy did have to spend detention with Snape where he ordered them to sort ingredients and bottles to the right places and were forced to renegotiate with each others.

#### Yule Ball

When the Yule Ball was announced and Ulf got hands on his father´s old tuxedo, Ulf decided to ask Luna Lovegood out for the Yule Ball (as he had begun flirting with Luna Lovegood), it is unknown wether or not Ulf went with Luna on the Yule Ball or not, either way, Ulf did not seem to dance much, only seemed to mingle with a couple of drinks, some refreshments and listened to the Wierd Sisters rock song.

#### Cedric´s death

Ulf was distraught of Cedric´s death. When he saw a mourning Harry and Mr.Diggory mourning over Cedric he thought he would faint and lose his sanity, wishing the whole day was just a nightmare or something. Ulf just could not believe that the young man who had saved him one year ago and motivated him to become a Quidditch player was dead.Ulf was even appalled and a little more than disgusted that the fact that the Ministry of Magic seemed to downplay the Death of Cedric. Ulf seemed to be only silent for the last couple of days of his third year at Hogwarts, seemingly only looking down on the ground and not finding the joy in almost anything, Ulf only found the strength to speak with his friends and teachers during the last day of year three.

## Personality & Traits

Ulf-Harald is a big thinker of things and always did research in his studies and liked to put extra effort in his work.He is light hearted and cares for his friends and he is known for his respected bravery (which explains why the Sorting Hat wondered if he should be put in Gryffindor instead but found more Ravenclaw in him) despite having friends and caring for them however he was sometimes considered to be a lone-wolf and preferred that way. Its unknown why Ulf was distant at times, though it could have to do with his insecurities of not feeling important and being quite the introvert. Ulf usually practiced or rather studied Spell Creation during summer times which explained how he was able to create his first spell at year 3.

Ulf showed decently good magical traits when he was small, he discovered his magical powers by demonstrating Psionics and a somewhat weaker yet useful variation of Legilemency by guessing the potential intentions of people through judging the personality and character of others (sometimes his personal power would not always work).This is not to say he is without flaws as he usually have doubts about himself, prefers to be alone. Other flaws Ulf has is such as that he did not consider himself to be worthy, thinking his efforts are rarely enough and at the Battle of Hogwarts took blame on himself when Tonks died as well as Maleksi´s death and times he could take revenge that can be seen as petty (example seen with Pansy Parkinson, granted it was understandable why Ulf would take revenge on Pansy for not only bullying him but also bullying his friend who happened to be in Slytherin, still it could be seen as petty and even Ulf regretted it and acknowledged it.) and sometimes be cruel in retaliation (as seen with his fight with Bellatrix during the Battle of Hogwarts).Ulf also had the tendency to snap at people for not understanding him and being vindicitive as seen when he shouted down at Percy Weasley for siding with Umbridge after the Duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort.In couple of times much like the likes of Harry his strength would fail him as seen when he got struck with Petrificus Totalus by the hands of Peter Pettigrew or losing in a duel with Draco Malfoy when he at first seemed to have the upper hand.

Ulf prefers frozen and sweet christmas pudding (usually with chocolate flavors and fruit and cream filling) over the normal "dry" variant. Ulf´s favorite non-wizarding sweets are winegums, after eights and chocolate-covered raisins while his favorite Wizarding Sweets would be fudge flies .
