Vincent C. Thompson

## Vincent Thompson

**John:** "*Well does Hogwarts: A History say anything about students evading the enchantments?! I bet on my left behind that it doesn't!"*

**Vincent:** *"Actually it does."*

- *Vincent's trust in books.*

**Vincent Carter Thompson** (b. 21st September 2022) is an English Muggle-born wizard born to Carter **Thompson** and Tamara **Kennedy**. He is known for his witty comments and intellect. He is yet to be sorted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Appearance

Vincent's small size is what makes him invisible to most. He had dark brown skin, similar to an deep autumn wood complexion. With the rest of his black features, he was within African decent. Vincent's hair also has a natural thick, fair-greasy look.

His set of clothing is usually oversized sweatshirts and fit dark jeans. He often wears his robe over his Hogwarts uniform, both in perfect fit.

## Personality

Vincent is considered to be a “normal child.” His view of the world falls under the category of logical and distinctive outcomes. If there is no logical reasoning in doing so, then there is no point in doing it at all.

Respecting authority and anybody older than him is an instinct, unless if that respect is lost. He also happens to have an ignorant view of realism, that being relative to how people should act versus how people would act. His ignorance also goes very far, but getting mad from other's not agreeing with him isn't a common thing for him to do.

Vincent isn’t considered to be nice, but honest. To put it better, he'd rip off the Band-Aid if there was no use for the Band-Aid to begin with.

## Background

#### Vincent's Childhood

> ***TW: Contains Religious Trauma, Emotional Abuse and Neglect***
>
>

Vincent was supposed to be the promising child. His mother raised him through the Church, making sure Vincent became a “Child of God.” His father was always on the sidelines, watching Vincent’s mother raise her child in standards no normal child should go through. This child wasn’t necessarily "normal" for obvious reasons.

As Wizarding Society is hidden from the muggle eye, they were more as a threat than a friend. The mother of Vincent was one of the bigots, who loved a book more than her child. Seeing Vincent as possessed or demonic, she left her child gone. Especially when he was outed as a wizard. Leaving Vincent since there was nothing left for her, Vincent suffers from the emotional abandonment which doesn't mix well with his social skills. His father always worried about his position in life, but he also dropped the religion to support his son and his mental health. But there is only so much one parent can do.

Vincent vowed to make himself useful for others, but never for himself. He always questions himself, “am I good enough?” or “will I ever succeed?” Hence why he is such a hardworking student, constantly pushing himself to the limit of reading information and extra work. Especially during his time in his Muggle Academy, though his father did work hard to get him to the school. Vincent wants to make sure his father’s money is not wasted.

#### The Letter's Arrival

His average muggle life changed when he got his Hogwarts letter, an owl perched at the railing near the mailbox of his house. Both him and his father were confused, they thought it was just some joke. Until a Ministry Official arrived awaiting at the door. Prepared and explain about the world of magic hidden from them, even demonstrate to them that magic was real. Vincent felt confused, but also inquisitive of this new world. Wanting to learn more about the world ahead, as he knew something was weird or strange about him! Wanting to explore more on what people like him were about, making the Official who came worth his while. Asking about cultural backgrounds and some questions that even the Official didn’t know the answers to, which is why Hogwarts will teach him. Or so said the Ministry Official. Now he moves forward, forging a new life that would lead to great danger and unsolved curiosities.

#### Diagon Alley

During his first trip to Diagon Alley, he visited and grasp the surface of a new world; filled with culture and aspiration of changing the very laws that muggles created to explain the unexplained. This was Vincent's very foundation until he arrived from the back of the Leaky Cauldron. His father was shocked, while Vincent was astonished. The Thompsons made their way to Gringotts and got their pounds exchanged for Knuts, Sickles and Galleons. Afterwards, the two visited the book store; Florish and Blotts. The shop contained a manner of books that towered to the roofs, scrolls that bounced from the dusty shelves. Endless wix that filled shelve, and Vincent became one of them. His father, attempting to keep his son's fascination at a calming rate. While only amplifying it to the very extent of his wishes. Vincent grabbed an assortment of books from different subjects that were both on the list and not. This trip lasted for about the entire day, and after a begging plead to read a skim of the textbooks given to him for the night.

##### Meeting John

After the days trip to Florish and Blotts, came a second trip the next day. It was time for Vincent to get his robes, described on the list he needed specific robes and dragonhide gloves. It was not a moment later when they entered the shop, another family had already sat inside. It was two mothers, both were chatterboxes while the other was a boy that stood on the podium. Floating pins and needles began to land. Vincent hadn't noticed, looking at his father's direction. Only to get knocked down by the incoming child.
