**Nicholas William Scabior** (August 16th, 1994 - 2023) was an English pure-blood wizard born in Birmingham, England to his father Alexsandr Scabior and mother Eliza Castellano.

Nick spent most of his early childhood with his father moving from camp to camp while his mother was uninvolved in his life; a barmaid who moved to the states. When he was old enough, he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There he made it through three years before being held back consistently, finally dropping out during his fourth year.

Nick grew fond of the life he lived with his father and took it upon himself to follow in his footsteps, becoming a snatcher; creating a small group of friends to accompany him as he traveled across the UK working.

Nick managed to avoid most of the wars happening in the wizarding world, attempting to keep the group that became his family safe. They would avoid heavily populated areas like London, only accepting contracts in the countryside. This changed when Nick disbanded the group, finding the tension, which occurred because of the war, too much to handle and hard to avoid.

After disbanding the group, he began doing odd jobs where he had his first encounter with Mandy Lestrange; not seeing her since Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He then confessed his feelings for her before heading back to work. He stayed on the road until he was located and later accompanied by Mandy Lestrange.

After spending the next few years with her, Nick decided to get married to Mandy, eventually starting a family with her before he was killed in 2023.

## Biography

#### *Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (2001 - 2008)*

When he arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Nick Scabior was sorted into Slytherin house. He was a considerably strong academic student, who spent most of his time studying and attending class and less time exploring or making friends. He became a proficient student in Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology, finding both classes nostalgic from his time with his father. He spent the holidays at school before returning to his father's old camp in the summer, looking forward to any new adventures he would encounter.

During his second year, Nick began to slowly lose focus in his classes, finding himself homesick of the freedom he had with his father before he died. He also found himself asking more questions about his mother, wanting to know a little more about who she was. Nick grew somewhat isolated, refusing to go to class, deciding to roam the grounds, taking a particular liking to the Forbidden Forest. The professors began to crack down on Nick, placing restrictions on his schedule, forcing him to attend classes and participate in school activities in the hopes of returning his grade to the high standard they once were. Nick reluctantly agreed, finishing the year in low spirits.

Nick's third year was seemingly better. He had decent grades and had made a few friends who were considered miscreants. Nick felt at home with them, finding their humor and attitude towards learning to be amusing and quickly followed in their steps to fit in. Not long after, his grades plummeted and he refused to change them. He slacked off in class and made a point of disrupting lessons with his friends, causing trouble around the school. During the summer he returned to his father's camp once again, bringing his friends along with him, having parties and starting to steal from people.

When Nick returned to his fourth year with his new group of followers, he didn't bother attending classes. He disrespected the teachers and found school to be a waste of time. He and his friends made regular attempts to leave the school, only to get caught in the process. Nick's friends, in time, threw him under the bus and ditched him, blaming him for their failed attempts at escaping. Angry and upset, Nick closed himself off from everyone, causing a new attitude to form. Because of this, Nick was held back consistently for three years, not able to fix his academic standings.

On his second attempt of fourth year he started to encounter Mandy Lestrange. He felt infatuated with her and wanted to get to know her. Due to his lack of social skills, especially around women, Nick was unable to grab her attention in the proper way. He resorted to teasing and belittling her, acting in bad manners as a way to impress her. He began to interact with her social circle, wondering why she wasn't liking his attitude as she hung around with other individuals such as Corwin Crouch and Matthew Riddle, who both seemed to lack in restraint. Nick eventually became friends with Alex Carrow, their first real interaction being a project in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Nick enjoyed being around Alex and found him to be very loyal and reliable, he finally felt like he had a genuine friend. As time went on, his infatuation for Mandy continued to grow. He struggled to impress her and eventually grew jealous of her social circle, watching as she seemed to be interested in Corwin Crouch. Feeling like a waste of space and a failure, Nick decided that he had enough and left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He began his work as a snatcher, eventually forming a group of boys that quickly became his family.

## Physical Appearance

Growing up, Nick Scabior was a very scruffy and unkempt boy, looking very similar to his father. He had long, light brown hair, which he kept tied back in a ponytail, finding it easier to move from place to place. He also wore warn down robes, dusty looking pants and boots. He didn't take much pride in his appearance until he was older.

He was an average height of 5'9 and was a somewhat smaller build. The most dominant feature was his eyes, a light shade of blue, which in the right light, looked like diamonds; something Mandy loved.

As Nick got older and began to work, he cleaned himself up a bit, cutting his hair while allowing his beard to grow out slightly. He alternated between sweaters and leather jackets with jeans and boots, keeping things rustic yet casual. He also focused more on his fitness, gaining more muscle mass than before, changing his figure from somewhat scrawny to strongly built.
