boggart:
- Loss of his sister.
- His worst memory, by far would be his mothers passing. He loved his mother like no other and when that was ripped away from him, he felt as if someone had ripped out his heart and threw it back in his face. The family was struggling to get by and even at that age, he wished that he could help out somehow. He used to sit on the counter and talk to the regulars that came in. Well, when the shop was raided and they were left with his father, he also fell into sort of a depression like state. The boy wouldn’t talk or eat. He became deathly skinny and his father pleaded with him to eat. Luckily, his father was armed with a grilled cheese sandwich and Simon felt compelled to eat. It was his favorite food after all.
personality:
- Stubborn. Humble. Respectful. Determined. Intelligent. Dedicated. Polite.
He is probably the one out of the two Pritchard kids to resemble his father the most. He was the firstborn child and he had to be the one to grow up the fastest. When he was young, he was quick to form his opinions . Simon always had the strength to stand on his own two feet without letting anyone else tell him he was wrong. There was no one who could tell him that his opinion was wrong, that he was acting out of line because Simon would back it up with justification and representation. That’s what years and years of sticking your nose in books will do to a man. What else would you say it was due to? I dare you to come up with something better. Once Simon thought of something, once the male had an idea, he was going to keep it, and if it was a plan of action, he was going to carry it out. He knew that he was capable. Yes, Simon believed in himself. Full heartedly and without a wavering qualm. He paid attention in school and learned. Would you expect something different from him? Didn’t think so. He got the background of what he needed to know from the years he sat in the back of History, both muggle and wizarding. He listened to how idiotic people were at times that called people to action. The examples America had, they were ridiculous. The American police force ruined Kennedy murder scene. How were people not supposed to think conspiracies were just going to pop up all over? How were people supposed to think that just one guy planned it all how? How were people not supposed to think that the government was involved? And, what about Vietnam and how the American’s refused to take a different approach to warfare? Oh, Simon was observant. Painfully observant. He is confident, and he formed opinions. Sometimes, one could only assume that wasn’t the best of anything. Granted, he tried his best to stay unbiased, but sometimes when he thought he was right, other people were going to be convinced of the same. Pushy? That’s what his sister called them in the one person debate he got in when helping her write a paper on the logic of Death Eaters. She ended up throwing a notebook at her brother’s face. He told everyone some guy, twenty pounds heavier, got it worse. Poor girl. He never understood why he was so mean to her. He even put maggots in her food once. He really did get a kick out of that. Hey! He’s the older brother. Isn’t that in his job description? No? Okay then..
Even at seventeen, he doesn’t quite grasp the saying: Too much information.
Point being, with Simon's mouth – his opinions – nothing wasn’t going to be kept a secret, kept hidden. Do you want to talk about the kid who hides nothing? Simon is the boy that will tell the world he’s gotta take a piss to excuse himself from conversation. Everybody’s pees, don’t they? Is it really so wrong to let somebody else know about your bodily functions?
He knows himself, no matter what anyone tells him, Simon knows his limits. No matter how hard he pushes, Simon knows then the time comes and he needs help, he’ll as for it. Like, with women. Merlin, weren’t they a complicated species? He never could settle down with one, but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t the type for loyalty. He was serving the cause, in a way, if that didn’t scream loyal, what else did? Simon just had always been one to “pick the wrong girls.” They wanted a commitment at a time he knew he wasn’t ready for it, and by the time he got there, well, most of the girls were settling down into marriage. He knew that there would never be enough time for anyone to draw out the long statements about love. Love had to be shown openly as many times as it could. He realized that he couldn’t just think that the woman he was with knew how he felt, he had to tell her and remind her. Simon is the type of guy who learned the hard way from what happened, from losing someone that close, that life is too precious to just sit back and let it play on without any involvement.
Despite all this, the blonde has a very high inferiority complex. He always seems to think that he's never good enough for anything or anyone. He feels like he's at the bottom of the food chain, and it's like he just isn't up to par or standard with anything. When he was young and just learing how to operate socially, he could never take compliments well. He always thought that they wanted something from him. The fact that someone is just being nice and complimenting him is just beyond his grasp of comprehension. Hey, there had to be a flaw somewhere here in this boy, right? He never takes the compliments to heart, rather, but he will just nod along and thank them to humor them. He doesn't want to reject their comments. If they took the time to say a nice thing, Simon would certainly be at least somewhat grateful for their kindness. He always feels that people deserve to be treated the way they treat him, though even if somebody is nasty an very rude to Simon, he will still be very nice back to them. Logic you ask? Well, he just loves seeing their face when they are mean to him and he just tells them to have a nice day. Sometimes Simon finds it hard to be so nice. He bottles up all his anger and resentment towards things and when he explodes, you better run for the hills. His words are his weapon and he knows how to make someone feel like their the size of an ant. This side doesn’t come out as much but it’s still something to look out for.
Lastly, Simon is an extremely loyal person. People really are lucky to have him as a friend. He would always stand by a friend's side no matter what they had done, unless they had betrayed him, that's a totally different story. That’s when you would see that temper of his come out or the cork come off the bottle of emotions he holds inside. Anyways, he's so loyal that he would do absolutely anything for his friends. He would even do his friends' homework if they wanted him to do so. It didn't matter what anybody said about his friends, he would stay by them no matter what. He is so self-sacrificing for his friends that he would give anything for them to make them stay with him as well. He’s the kind of person where you could ask him to do something for you and he doesn’t expect anything back in return. Naïve and idiotic? Sure, but it’s his friends and like I’ve stated before. He’s just that trusting.
[ take a look back in time
parents: Graham and Bianca
siblings: ____ Pritchard
history: Simon was the first born child to Graham and Bianca Pritchard. The family was new and they didn't have a lot of money. His father had a small job at the ministry and when the young couple met, they fell in love instantly and got hitched. Simon resulted from that marriage night. During her pregnancy the couple decided to open up their own bookstore. It was always an ambition for Bianca and so Graham was more than happy to oblige. They had the store open for a couple of weeks before Simon demanded to come out of his mother, two months early.
They thought that Simon wouldn't make it. If he had been born int he muggle world, he would have died. They could literally hold Simon with one hand. Needless to say, he grew up quick. Before they knew it, Simon was running around the store, throwing books on the floor and causing mayhem. Then, his sister joined the world and Simon didn't like the new addition too well. That meant his having to share his parents and he can be rather selfish if he wants.
As soon as he warmed up to his sister, a tragedy struck the family. Their mother was killed in a robbery that happened in their small bookstore. He saw it with his own eyes and it was severely damaging to the young boy. It took him quite a while to get over it. A part of him still hasn't.
Time passed and it was time for him to go to Hogwarts. He was sorted into Ravenclaw and he found that it was a suitable second home for him. His sister later joined him and he found that he was very protective of his little sister. Simon doesn't quite know what he wants from his life but he just lives it like there no tomorrow.
