CHARACTER HISTORY

Early Years: Derry was born in the impoverished part of Dublin, Ireland to Evelyn Flanagan. Evelyn was never very motherly and when Derry was eight years old, she abandoned him to her sister Alana in County Clare. In a way, it was a blessing, as Alana and her husband Kevin were much more loving and affectionate than Evelyn. He also got to grow up with his two cousins, Shane and Finn, with whom he became inseparable.
Hogwarts Years: Derry had a lot of difficulty in his first year at school. He struggled a lot with retaining written material and writing essays, although he did find a talent and passion for using his wand. He also excelled in Care of Magical Creatures, as he had an affinity and love for animals. Derry joined the Quidditch team as Seeker in his third year and had been on the team since then. Quidditch had always been Derry's passion.

RP SAMPLE: - Spoiler:
Derry was rushing to his class, stuffing a muffin in his mouth and stumbled up the moving staircase. He was late, again. He was almost there though, the door now in sight. He jumped towards the door, which was miraculously still open, and managed to trip over his own two feets as he fell through the doorway.
He blushed bright red as he gave a little wave at the Professor, who seemed to fuming with anger. " 'Morning Professor," he stammered with a sheepish grin. His cheeks felt even hotter as he heard the snickers at his clumsy fall upon entering. Stumbling towards the only free desk at the end of the classroom, Derry took a seat, popping the rest of his muffin in his mouth as he tried to calm his nerves. He turned to his cousin beside him, Shane, showing him the Bertie Bott's beans he was hiding in his pocket. "Ye want some?" he whispered behind his mouth, smiling mischievously.
