Callum Flanagan

* 1990 (Present)
* 1985
* 2000

Callum Elliot Flanagan, also known as Cal (born c. 1975), is an English half-blood wizard. He is the only son of Maxwell and Eden Flanagan (neé Jones). Mother tried to spend as much as time as possible with him, while showing him kindness and compassion. As for his father, things were different. Though the man possesses a persuasive and jovial personality, he yet maintains a strict approach in his efforts to raise Callum.

Callum can get very hot-headed and manipulative at time. Not only is he those things, Callum is also always seeking for fun adventures to go on with his friends, which is one of the reasons why he comes off as a charismatic, humoristic individual. Across from his adventurous side, Cal likes to keep himself distracted by playing the grand piano. Other than that, he enjoys to spend his time writing fictional stories.

## Childhood (1975 - 1986)

Callum Elliot Flanagan was a half-blood wizard born to a wizard father and a witch mother.  Eden, Callum's mother, was a kind and nurturing woman. She was empathetic and always stood her ground. She was also intelligent and hardworking, always striving to do her best in everything she did. Despite her busy schedule, she tried her best to spend quality time with Callum and create happy memories. Eden's influence on Callum was very positive. She provided a loving and supportive environment for him, which allowed him to develop his own interests and pursue his passions. She was a great listener and gave him wise advice, helping him navigate difficult situations. Her emphasis on kindness and compassion had a profound impact on Callum, shaping him into a caring and relatively empathetic person. Callums father, Maxwell, became more present in Callum's life as Eden's absence due to her work as a dragonologist increased when Callum grew older.

He was a complicated figure in Callums life. On one hand, Maxwell loved his son and wanted what was best for him. He was a highly accomplished wizard and placed great importance on academic excellence and discipline. However, on the other hand, Maxwell could be hot-headed, manipulative, and even mentally abusive towards his son. This behavior was in part due to the influence of his own father, who had been similarly strict and mentally manipulative towards him. Callum never really was able to keep his emotions in check whenever he felt his father's derision, resulting in many heated arguments between the two of them.

Despite these difficulties, Callum still had a close relationship with his father. Maxwell could also be very funny, dorky, and sweet, and these moments of warmth and affection made it harder for Callum to completely distance himself from him. Callum also inherited some of his father's more positive traits, such as a talent for playing the grand piano and a love for magical artifacts. As for his dear mother, he inherited her interest in dragons.

## Life at Hogwarts (1986- present)

### Acceptance to Hogwarts

In the summer of 1986, Callum Flanagan eagerly awaited his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had grown up listening to his parents' stories about their time at Hogwarts, and he was excited to finally start his own magical journey. When the letter finally arrived, Callum was thrilled to learn that he had been sorted into Gryffindor, the same house as his parents. He felt a sense of pride and belonging as he donned the red and gold robes of his new house.

### First year at Hogwarts

Callum's first year at Hogwarts was a mixed experience. He loved the feeling of being surrounded by magic and learning new spells, but he also felt a bit lost and shy at times. He struggled in Potions class, often earning poor grades despite his best efforts. However, he discovered a natural talent for Transfiguration and enjoyed spending hours practicing in the common room.

Despite his struggles, Callum managed to make a few friends towards the end of his first year. He spent the summer with them, exploring the grounds of Hogwarts and discovering hidden spots that they could call their own.

### Second year at Hogwarts

In his second year, Callum began to feel more confident and outgoing. He inherited his father's sense of humor and often found himself playing pranks on his fellow students. However, he also noticed that he was becoming more manipulative, and he struggled to understand this side of himself. Callum continued to excel in Transfiguration and became fascinated by the complexities of the subject.

### Third year at Hogwarts

As Callum entered his third year at Hogwarts, he began to feel more introspective. He spent long hours in the library, reading books on magical theory and delving deeper into his own psyche. He found himself becoming more in tune with his emotions and recognized that his hot-headedness and manipulative tendencies were a result of his fear of rejection and his desire for control.

Callum's interest in dueling grew as he practiced defensive spells and studied the art of dueling. He spent many hours dueling with his friends and testing out new spells. Besides that, Callum took great interest in writing fictional stories. This took place in his own personal space.

### Fourth year at Hogwarts (Present)

Currently in his fourth year at Hogwarts, Callum continues to grapple with his inner demons. He's working on his hot-headedness and manipulative tendencies, but he still struggles with his desire for control and his fear of rejection. Despite this, he has made great strides in understanding himself and has become more comfortable with who he is.

Callum's interest in Transfiguration and dueling has only grown stronger, and he is constantly challenging himself to improve his skills. He looks forward to the challenges and opportunities that his remaining years at Hogwarts will bring.

## Personality

Callum is a complex and dynamic personality. He is confident and sociable with his close friends but can still be reserved and introverted with new people. Callum's love for writing has grown, and he often uses it as an outlet to express his thoughts and emotions.

He is passionate about dueling and is constantly trying to improve his skills in that area. However, Callum's hot-headedness and impulsiveness can sometimes get the better of him, causing him to act recklessly in dueling matches.

While Callum can still be manipulative at times, he has become more aware of this tendency and is actively working to curb it. He values honesty and integrity in his relationships and tries to be as transparent as possible with those he cares about.

Overall, Callum is a kind and compassionate person who cares deeply about his friends and family. However, his complex personality and inner struggles make him a multifaceted and intriguing character.

## Physical Appearance

Callum has fair skin with a light dusting of freckles across his nose and cheeks. He possesses a soft nose, bushy eyebrows, and big green (with a hint of hazel) colored eyes that often shine with a curious glint. His hair is a light tint of brown and has a few swoops, adding a bit of a playful touch to his appearance. It's also slightly wavy, giving it some volume and texture.

He has a friendly smile that often lights up his face, and his ears are slightly notable, adding to his unique charm. Callum dresses casually and comfortably, often wearing shirts, jackets, and simple trousers that don't draw too much attention to him. His demeanor is lanky yet prominent, making him stand out without even trying.
