Elio Longstride Rossi

* 1965
* 1967

**Elio Valentino Longstride Rossi** (born May 2, 1952) is an Italian **half-blood wizard** and the second-born child of **Francesco Rossi**, as well as **Thomas Longstride's** younger half-brother. Elio was born in a quiet town somewhere in Italy, with no knowledge of his brother Thomas. Elio's mother died abruptly when he was approximately four years old, and physicians couldn't identify a medical explanation for it. The two years were difficult for the small child since he didn't understand what death meant. Every day, Elio asked for his mother. Years passed, and when Elio turned six, his life changed forever. His family moved to the United Kingdom, where his father married **Charlotte Longstride**. Little Elio's biggest challenge was sharing; he didn't like sharing his books and toys, but because he had a sibling, he had to. What Thomas and Elio didn't realize was that they were half siblings from the same father who were also magical. Because of his wishdom and creativity he was subsequently Sorted into The Gryffindor House after his admittance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1963.

## Biography

#### Before birth.

Elio's life was not quite planned. It all began with Francesco Rossi, an insurgent halfblood wizard from Italy. He enjoyed partying and pulling harmless pranks with his buddies. This time, Francesco planned to spend his holiday in the United Kingdom with his friends. He was in a pleasant quiet pub in the midst of the city one night. When his buddies began to get drunk, Francesco's mind drifted to the lady he spotted in the pub. He knew it was a horrible choice since he had a girlfriend waiting for him to return to Italy. But his feelings overcame him, and he began chatting to the girl. It turned out her name was Charlotte Longstride she was around the same age as Francesco, and she seemed so nice. Francesco was head over heels and forgot about his friends for the rest of the night, and the next morning he woke up next to her. He was red with embarrassment and questioned himself about what he had done that night.

Francesco was packing his belongings and saying goodbye to his pals and Charlotte a few days later. He returned to Italy to see his girlfriend Gabriella. When he arrived, he held her tightly, still regretting what he had done that evening in the UK. Months passed until Gabrielle hurried up to Francesco and announced that she was pregnant. His eyes widened in shock, but also in delight, as their small apartment was filled with the two's joyous yells. Nine months later, a gorgeous kid with dark brown curls and blue eyes like his father was born. Because it was a sunny day in March, the two chose to call him Elio, which means "sunny" in Italian.

#### Early life (1952 - 1963)

Elio grew up in a wonderful little home with everything his tiny heart desired; he wasn't spoilt, but the love he received from his parents was plenty for the little child. Elio grew and grew until he began to read at the age of three. His father and mother were amazed at how developed he was so young. The following year was the worst of all. Their lovely little house suddenly transformed into a giant black cloud, Francesco was agitated all the time, and Gabriella fell ill and died in her sleep. After months of examination by Italians best doctors, they couldnt find a medical explanation for her death. Francesco was struggling with it; he was never able to confirm that he had cheated on her before she died, as he never decided to stop searching for a reason Gabriella died. Little Elio didn't understand what death was, and he kept asking his father when mom was going to come home. When he was six years old, he stopped asking his father if she would return since he knew mom would never return to them.

Elio, now six years old, walked in on his father packing all of their belongings one day. As he climbed into his arms, the tiny child looked at him, confused. He had already guessed what would happen. They were moving to the United Kingdom. After months of searching, Francesco finally found Charlotte again; it turned out she was unwell, and he wanted to care for her, scared the same sudden death will happen to Charlotte. When they finally relocated there, Elio struggled to adjust to his new life. Charlotte did became pregnant during Francesco's vacation that year. So he had a half-brother?!Elio glared at the 7-year-old Thomas. He didn't appreciate sharing his father or his books and toys. For the first several years, the two were always fighting until their magical skills appeared. They exchanged glances as if they were looking in a mirror. They were the same, but just different ages! Elio began to like his older brother after that day. Every day, Thomas grew more protective of Elio. And, although he developed into the clumsy smarter of the two, Thomas became the socially hyperactive one. Elio quickly began to see Charlotte as "mom.", Since it was too a long time ago he saw his real mom for the last time. The two kids continued to blabber, and Elio told them stories about Hogwarts, until they eventually received their letters for Hogwarts.

## personality and traits

Elio is a highly intelegent and introverted boy. Elio struggled to communicate when he was little; his reading skills developed quicker than his speaking abilities, because of that he still speaks with an Italian accent even though he lived in the Uk since 6. He's an open-minded and genuinely lovely child who would never hurt you, and if he does, he apologizes immediately. He dislikes changes, and any alteration in his plans causes him anxiety. Elio does not look insecure; he maintains his ground without fear of what others would think of him. Adverture is number one on his list; you wouldn't expect Elio to be so adverturous because he's a clever and quiet youngster, but his curiosity is out of this world and difficult to keep under control, he also has a lot of courage and wont give up until he succeeds.Elio suffers from jealousy, like Thomas experienced in his earlier years. Since Elio is afraid of losing his loved one or being replaced; but, as he grows older, his jealously fades.

## Physical appearance

Elio is described as a handsome young man by his friends and family, with thick dark brown hair and blue eyes. Elio, according to his family, is a carbon clone of his father, Francesco, which may be said first because Elio never met his mother. He's rather muscular because he enjoys being outside and playing games, but due of his geeky demeanor, you wouldn't seek it behind him at all. Elio's jawline is sharp, and he has plump cheeks give him a babyface. His dark brows were hidden under his glasses, which he had worn since he was a small child due to his poor eyesight, making his eyes appear even bluer.

## Possessions

* **Elios Wand: *Alder wood with a dragon heartstring core, 14 ¼" and unyielding flexibility***. Whilst Alder made for an unyielding wood, its ideal owner was not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Whereas most wand woods sought similarity in the characters of those they would best serve, alder was unusual in that it seemed to desire a nature that was, if not precisely opposite to its own, then certainly of a markedly different type.
* **Charlie the cat:** *Charlie is Elio's American Bobtail cat. He cant live without Charlie anymore after he got him as a birthday present from Charlotte and Thomas for his 12th birthday. Charlie became his best friend and will even help him trough tough times*
