Name: Bastian Thomas Pierce

House: Slytherin

Real Parents: Tom Marvolo Riddle (Voldemort;) Mother Unknown

Adopted Parents: Bane and Elspeth Pierce

Age: 17

Looks: Dark and grungy, Bastian is the epitome of the bad boy. He is tall and muscular, but not overly so, and dresses in a punk alternative style. Bastian doesn’t really care about what he looks like, though, and wears whatever comes to hand; unless, of course, his upper crust parents are around, and he’s forced to dress like he has some class.

Personality: Quiet and serious, Bastian prefers to keep to himself. He is smart, basically just biding his time and skating through his classes until he can graduate and leave all of it behind. A lot of the time, he feels like he is two people: the Bastian he presents to the world, together and sure, and the inner Bastian, confused and dark.

History: Before the final battle, Voldemort, in an uncharacteristic moment of fear, decided that it would be best for him to produce a son, just incase he didn’t survive. He impregnated an evil young wizard, then, after she bore him a son, killed her to keep her quiet. Bane and Elspeth Pierce, two of his most loyal Death Eaters, took in the child and raised him as their own after Voldemort lost the battle against Harry Potter. They never told him the truth of his parentage.

Secretly believing that he is the future of evil in the Wizarding World, he was both pushed and restricted his entire childhood. Starting his basic schooling when he was no older than two, both his parents and other Death Eaters, like the Malfoy family, had a hand in his education. However, he was kept away from other children, even those of the Death Eaters, resulting in his absolute lack of people skills. His family and the others also schooled him in their dislike of Mud Bloods and that Pure Bloodlines were the only worthy bloodlines. Though he accepted and assimilated this teaching, it never quite sat right with him.

They allowed him to go to Hogwarts at the age of ten, and rejoiced when he was sorted into Slytherin House, believing this further confirmed their dreams of him rising to the level of this father before him.

At first, Bastian saw school as a place of freedom where he could be himself and become friends with other children. He quickly learned that he did not like the way the majority of Slytherin students treated him, for they know he is something special from the comments of their parents, though they don’t know the truth about him, either. He also intensely dislikes the way they treat other students; Bastian decided that there is nothing lower class or wrong with people who have Muggle parents. He has kept this decision to himself, however, because his parents would handily yank him out of Hogwarts if they ever learned that he is pulling away from their teachings. Bastian is also envious of the close relationships the Potter, Weasley, Black, and Tonks-Lupin children and families have.

But his brilliance and the other Houses dislike of students from Slytherin made him unpopular among his class, though he never did anything to hurt or upset anyone. The only other student he is even partially friends with is Trenton Malfoy, whom he befriended after the boy was miserable and upset about being sorted into Slytherin House. Bastian thinks of Trenton as his little brother. Other than the time spent with Trent, however, Bastian spends most of his time alone.

Other: Bastian has had a crush on Charlie Weasley since he first came to school. He thinks she is everything he isn’t: bright, sunny, outgoing, and fun. But he has never approached her. He is the Seeker for the Slytherin Qudditch team.
