Name: Xavier Franklin Tonks-Lupin (birth name: Matthew Xavier Marks, Jr.)

House: Gryffindor

Parents: Jennifer and Matthew Marks, biological parents. Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin, real parents.

Age: 17

Looks: Tall, dark, and perpetually rumpled, Xavier follows Kiley in that he loves to dress in a punk style. He’s cute in a boy-next-door kind of way, but greatly wishes he was a little more ruggedly handsome.

Personality: Affable and fun, Xavier is one of those guys that will go along with anything just for kicks. Extremely smart and easy with it, he is kind and gentle with everyone, following in Tonks and Lupin’s footsteps.

History: Born to an ordinary Muggle family in London, little Matty Marks went along the first three years of his life with no problems, happy and secure in the knowledge his parents loved him. When he was three and two months, he and his parents went out for a walk one night. Stopping to chat after running into some people they knew, his parents didn’t keep a close enough eye on him, and he wandered off, chasing the brightly colored kites in the sky, not understanding he couldn’t reach them. A big pit bull who’s owner hadn’t seen fit to put on a leash attacked him, and, wailing, he turned the dog into a purple kite complete with a painted picture of a doggie, which floated away into the sky. All of the people in the park saw what he had done, including his parents. Shocked, they took him right home and locked him in his room, leaving him there for a few days with no food or water. Dumbledore heard about this on the wizarding grapevine, and sent Lupin and Tonks to get Matty out of the house. His parents gave him up without a fuss. Recently married, Remus and Nymphadora asked Dumbledore if they could keep him, and asked Matty if he would mind living with them. Already a very intelligent little boy, he said yes, and it solved all of their problems. Matty no longer had to live with Wizard-hating Muggles, and Lupin and Tonks suddenly had a child without having to worry about him being half werewolf. In celebration, they legally changed his name to Xavier Franklin Tonks-Lupin; Xavier being his old middle name and Franklin being Tonks's mother's maiden name. He hasn’t looked back since.

He is another godchild to Sirius Black, just as his parents are also godparents to Kiley, and grew up at Hogwarts with her. They spent the summers and holidays at 12 Grimmauld Place, where he got to spend time with his close mates Ben and Law Weasley. At ten, he was he was finally allowed to officially join the ranks of students at Hogwarts, though he and Kiley had been sneaking into classes since they were old enough to talk; still, he found time to spend with his parents, Kiley, and his Uncle Sirius. Extremely good at all of his subjects, he devotes little to no time to studying, preferring to work on the Defense Against the Dark Arts club he started with Kiley, much in the spirit of Dumbledore’s Army, the club Harry, Ron, and Hermione began.

Other: Xavier has no idea that Emily has developed a crush on him; he finds it extremely odd that they were friends one day, and the next she became a harpy on all of his faults. The dense boy just can’t figure out what’s up with her.
