Backstory

Arthur was born to Jean Rosier and Philip Reeves, both murdered by Voldemort shortly after his birth. Hidden away and raised by his godfather Remus Lupin, Arthur spent his early years away from the war and its legacy. That changed dramatically at Hogwarts.

In his first year, Arthur discovered he had survived the Killing Curse as an infant. Voldemort, though weakened, made a brief return during the Philosopher's Stone incident, revealing the truth about Arthur's past—and marking him as a potential threat.

During the summer after first year, Arthur trained with his enigmatic uncle, Cassian Reeves, who introduced him to wandless control and magical theory involving creature-magic symbiosis. However, a late-night infiltration of the Department of Mysteries revealed two disturbing prophecies:

1. He and Voldemort are bound by fate—one must eventually destroy the other.

2. Arthur was never meant to survive childhood. His continued existence fractures fate and opens a door to greater evils than Voldemort.

In his second year, Arthur's life was again thrown into chaos.

He was wrongly suspected of being the Heir of Slytherin, after students began turning up petrified. The whispers followed him everywhere. His hair turned white with fear too often.

Then after near death experience with the basilisk, his dark side came out.

But it was during a confrontation in the Chamber of Secrets that Arthur faced a piece of Voldemort's past—Tom Riddle—and the basilisk itself. With cleverness, pain, and raw courage, Arthur defeated the beast, nearly dying in the process. Something awakened in him that day. Something cold, ancient—and watching.

Now, as his third year begins, Arthur is being sent to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in America, for a single year of reassignment and realignment. Cassian called in a personal favor to get him transferred. He'll be joining his cousins, who are still enrolled, while Daniel—his eldest cousin—serves as a staff assistant.

It's a new school. A new continent.

But the same fate is following him.

Relationships

Remus Lupin (Godfather) – Steady and warm, but grief lies between them. Arthur respects him deeply, even when they don't talk much.

Draco Malfoy (Best Friend) – Still Arthur's closest friend at Hogwarts. A sharp-tongued and brutally honest companion who challenges Arthur to grow, while understanding his darker instincts.

Cassian Reeves (Uncle) – A magical theorist and beastmaster. Cold, practical, and brilliant. One of the few people Arthur both fears and trusts. Pushed Arthur toward emotional discipline.

Daniel Reeves (Cousin) – Older, friendly, but unnervingly insightful. Serves as assistant instructor at Ilvermorny. Encourages Arthur's self-control and reminds him of purpose.

Dorian, Vivienne, Micah, and Liam Reeves (Cousins) – Students at Ilvermorny. Each with distinct personalities and skills. Their presence provides Arthur with grounding—but may also lead to conflict or revelations.

Harry Potter (Acquaintance / Quiet Rival) – Their personalities differ sharply. Arthur envies Harry's ability to draw people in, while Harry is wary of Arthur's secrets.

Elira (Owl) – Loyal, intelligent, and unusually responsive. Their bond is nearly empathic.
