Heinrich Schächle

**Heinrich "Heinz" Schächle** was a Liechtensteiner wizard of German blood born in 1831 in the wizarding village of Lawena in Liechtenstein. At the age of 10, Heinrich began attending Glatschastè Academy of Witchery, where he distinguished himself as an excellent flyer, and a skilled duelist.

An accomplished Keeper, at the age of 17, Heinrich played for the Liechtenstein National Quidditch Team in the 1849 Quidditch World Cup, where the Liechtenstein National Team was victorious.

At the start of the 1849 school year at Glatschastè, Heinrich and fellow Glatschastè student and member of the Liechtenstein National Team Wilhelm Bargetze flew to the school on broomsticks from Liechtenstein, the first time students were known to have arrived to the school by air.

In 1850, Heinrich was in his 9th year at Glatschastè and became involved in the Trials, a series of puzzles and challenges arranged by the medieval Romansh wizard Philippu Carvertscha and his daughter Liuna, alongside his group of close friends.

## Education

Heinrich was a good all-around student, but excelled particularly in magizoology and charms. A skilled, creative, and efficient duelist, Heinrich was among the best duelists at Glatschastè. Despite his nascent career as a Quidditch player, Heinrich had never taken a flying class at Glatschastè, as he began flying long before his 5th year.

Like all German-speaking students at Glatschastè, Heinrich was enrolled in mandatory Romansh courses until the end of his 6th year, after which, like most of his peers, he did not continue with additional Romansh courses. His spoken Romansh was considered passable by Giacumin Camenisch.

At the start of his 9th year, Heinrich registered for five specialization exams:

* Charms
* Dueling
* Herbology
* Magizoology
* Potioncraft

After his education, Heinrich intended to pursue a career as a Quidditch player.

## Appearance

Heinrich was tall, lean, and athletic, due to long hours training for Quidditch. He had blond hair with a tinge of red, characteristic of the Liechtenstein wizarding community, which he usually wore swept back. An extremely handsome young man, Heinrich was the target of affection for many fellow students, including Teigra Carvertscha and Rainer Hämmerle, and had earned the nickname "Pretty Boy" from his best friend Wilhelm Bargetze.

## Relationships

### Wilhelm Bargetze

Best friends since their earliest childhood, Heinrich and Wilhelm grew up together and bonded over regular flying - and later Quidditch - practice. The two were nearly inseparable when they arrived at Glatschastè for their first year, and remained just as close for the whole of their time in school. Their victory in the 1849 Quidditch World Cup made the two celebrities at Glatschastè, an experience that they bonded in resenting.

### Rainer Hämmerle

After meeting in their 4th year Magizoology class, Heinrich and Rainer bonded over a shared love of magical creatures and a mutual hatred of trolls. Rainer had few friends at the time so Heinrich pulled him into his own friend group. During their 8th year, Heinrich had the realization that Rainer was in love with him and let him down gently, and the two resolved to remain friends. By their 9th year, Heinrich and Rainer continued to spend time alone together; Heinrich considered their time together a break from being objectified. Heinrich was noted as having a "soft spot" for Rainer by Wilhelm Bargetze.
