The two were constantly at each other’s throats. Wanting to stop the funding going on between this two students, their friends plotted together to lock them in a room together.
When the fateful day happened and Ada and Alexander were locked in a broom closet together, they thought they were going to kill each other. Neither hand their wands on them and the door was made out of metal. It was in the dead of winter and all around them was freezing. Their friends had forgotten to give them any source of heat. Too cold to do much of any thing, The two were forced to depend on each other for warmth. They were left in there for a week with minimum food and water.

Character's History [2 paragraphs minimum.]: Riley was born on February 18th, 1990 in East Germany to Ada and Alexander Bergruecken. She was their youngest child. She had an older brother named Dmitri who was 6 years older then her. Her family was a an old wealthy family that never had to depend on hard labor to get what they wanted. As a pure blood family, Ada and Alexander tried to raise their children fairly. Though they were pure blood they never taught them that muggle borns or muggles were anything less but their equals. They allowed their children to make up their own minds about how they felt towards the muggle world and muggleborns.
Starting school, Ada and Alexander sent her to the muggle public school for elementary. It was there that Riley picked up some of her personality. The need to comfort everyone and make sure no one felt left out. When Riley’s letter to Durmstrang came, her parents were so proud. It was her brother’s last year there and the whole year he pretended she didn’t exist. This deeply hurt Riley, who loved her brother a lot and just wanted him to like her back even the smallest bit.
Over the last few years at Durmstrang, Riley has drifted from group to group, never really finding a place where she felt comfortable. While she was friendly to everyone, she had no real friends to call best friends. Friends who wouldn’t take advantage of her. She had a few friends who she thought of as close, only they sometimes took advantage of her niceness and her willingness to make everyone happy.
Role Playing Example: [2 paragraphs minimum + dialogue] [color=hot[pink]” Professor, I was just wondering why you marked me down so low on this paper. It was well written.”
” I’m sorry Miss. Bergruecken. Your report had tons of grammar mistakes and some of the potions you listed were never caught.” The Professor said without looking up from the desk of papers she was currently grading.
Riley huffed to herself sadly. ” But you taught me those potions in after studies last year!” She cried, not bothering to touch on her poor grammar. Her lip quivered. This did not phase the teacher.
” Do not question my grading Riley, now get to your next class.” The professor said in a commanding voice that held no room for argument.
Riley sighed and stuffed her paper in her bag and left the Potions room. Her eyes held the sadness she felt over doing so badly on the report. She knew she wasn’t the smartest person, but she always thought of herself as decent. This teacher was marking her unfairly for some reason. Walking through the halls of Durmstrang, Riley kept to herself for once. This was a rarity. Normally she was chatting with the people around her as she headed to her next class. She didn’t feel like it today. This depressed Riley even more then the bad grade.
