Landry was named in honor of his maternal grandfather Landry Norwood, and his father's friend Malcolm Walker. He began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2028 and was Sorted into Gryffindor house.

### Early childhood

Landry Malcolm Thorne was born in 2017, to Ramsey Thorne and Delilah Norwood, as the eldest child of four. He is five years older than Madison, six years older than Avery, and eight years older than Eileen. In 2027, Landry's mother Delilah left his father Ramsey, leaving behind her four children. It was a long time coming. Delilah hadn't seemed happy since her youngest daughter was born, she spent a lot of time crying whenever she was home with Landry and his sisters. Anytime someone asked her what was wrong she lied, she always said she was fine. No one ever believed her, her mouth said one thing while her eyes said another. Landry followed Delilah once as she left home on her walk to the supermarket near their home. She walked through the door with a smile, her eyes were big, she sighed a lot, and sometimes when she was back home she didn't bring any groceries. He rushed home after he saw her met with a man from the neighborhood; Mr. Butler. Landry was too young to understand why Delilah was meeting alone with Mr. Butler. He did know Ramsey would not take the news lightly, and so he never told him. He felt guilty after Delilah left, he wondered if he should have told Ramsey about Mr. Butler. He wondered if she told Ramsey, and that was why he never explained to Landry or his sisters where or why their mother had gone.

The curiosity was torture. Almost a year after Delilah walked out on her family Landry snuck away to the place where she meet with Mr. Butler. She was there, but she looked different. She had those big eyes, and that smile she wore she came back from the market. He stood outside watching her until Mr. Butler came upon him. Landry froze in terror, but quickly regained his senses and ran. He returned a few days later, again he watched as this woman he knew was his mother looked so unfamiliar to him in this place that was not their home. Landry wondered what it was about this place that made her so much happier than her family. When he noticed Mr. Butler coming back, he hid. He watched as the neighbor man embraced his mother, then his heart sunk when he watched as they played with a baby, a little boy. Landry returned the next day, and confronted his mother. He shouted as his pent up frustration got the best of him. He asked her why would she leave without saying goodbye. What was it about Mr. Butler, and the little boy that made her happier than he, and his sisters ever did. Delilah told Landry the truth. The difference was magic. It never occurred to Landry that what was making her so sad was that Landry, and his father were wizards. His sisters would probably be witches, and his mother wanted something she could be a part of. Her new family; Mr. Butler, and Landry's little brother Grant.

It broke his heart to learn that his mother couldn't love him or his family the way that she used to because of magic. Landry knew magic frightened her, she only ever told the other mother's in the neighborhood who knew of magic. He'd still heard her say it. He didn't think she would ever stop caring about him. She was his mother. She was supposed to love him forever. His magic tantrums weren't his fault. Landry never thought the kitchen would flood with water when he snuck into the cupboard to play drums on the pipes, and hit head. He didn't know he could move things without touching them. Landry never wanted those couch cushions he was punching, and kicking out of anger to catch fire. He never went back to see his mother, or Grant, and he tries never to think about them. Landry told his father about his mother and Mr. Butler, he didn't mention Grant, but he knows Ramsey knows. They've talked about telling his sisters about him when they're older in case they ever meet. Landry, and his sisters moved as far away as Germany for a few short month's. He received a letter left for him by owl at their old house. Ramsey's letter was delivered to him in the same manner. After Landry retrieved it he read it with his father before planning their trip to Hogsmeade. He, and his sisters talked with his father for weeks about Hogwarts before he left. They love stories about owls, wands, ghosts, werewolves, centaurs, hippogriffs, and unicorns.

After his mother left the family Landry became very protective of his sisters, and he tried to be strong for them knowing that they would know so much less of her than he did. He hoped they wouldn't ask about her so, which they did. Landry found ways around their questions always telling them wild and fantastic stories about Hogwarts to distract them whenever they asked. He didn't want them to ever know the truth about her, or where she went.
