MIRROR OF ERISED His mother.
PATRONUS Magnus' patronus is a wolf. He is extremely loyal to friends, almost to a fault. He has a smart, strategic mind, much like a wolf's strategic style of finding food and running.
PERSONALITY Magnus is rather shy and quiet, but when he gets wild, he gets hella wild. Usually hiding his face behind books and shelves, or behind food and drink. Though he's small and thin, he can eat a mountain of food. He especially likes pizza and broccoli, but he basically eats anything you put in front of him. Unless it's some vegan thing with tofu or kouskous crap. Unless it tastes amazing. Texture is just as important as taste in food. But Magnus' favorite kind of books are mystery and romance. Oh, and by the way, Magnus is as straight as a circle. So in other words, he's a huge homosexual.
A bit of a hopeless romantic, Magnus has always been way too shy to get close to crushes. However, he does have his wild side that enables him to be the opposite of who he is. He gains so much confidence when he gets riled up by caffine or when playing sports. Football is his favorite sport (soccer as the Americans call it) and still has his football at Hogwarts. Music is something that Magnus needs. Not likes, but needs in his life. He has a portable record player that you wind up that his mother got for him on his twelfth birthday party.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

BIRTHPLACE
St. Marietta, Britain.
CHILDREN
None
PARENTS
Father: William D'Lewis, 50, foreign furniture dealer. Muggle.
Mother: Lucille Matthews, 48 when deceased, was an accountant in the Welsh Ministry of Magic, Slytherin. Witch.
SIBLINGS
Miles Jefferson Matthews, 25, American federal prosecutor. Wizard.
OTHER
Grandmother (mother's mother): Franziska Von Karma, 72, Welsh Vice Minister of Magic. Fought for custody of Miles and Magnus, but lost to their father. Witch, obviously.
HISTORY Born and raised in Britain, Magnus' parents were divorced soon after he was born. Lucille took her maiden name back, which is what Magnus and Miles took since a court case had them move with Lucille to Norse, Wales. They lived very happily there, Miles being ten years older than his little brother. At twenty one, Miles Matthews traveled to America and became a federal prosecutor. His mother was so proud of her boys, since Magnus also was excelling in school, top of his classes at the Welsh magic school he went to.
But then it all came to a grinding halt in Magnus' life. When home for a visit during the summer of his second year, Lucille hailed a cab for once in awhile to drive them to their home, just to show Magnus what being in a car's like. But then, a drunk muggle driver smashed headfirst into the cab. The force of it sent the hood of the car off of its hinges and into Mrs. Matthew's chest, crushing her lungs. The driver had the steering wheel driven into his head, crushing it. Magnus survived just barely, flying into the seat of the driver knocking him into a coma. Franzisca Von Karma watched over her beloved grandson in his two and a half month coma, lasting the rest of his summer. She sang to him and read to him, Miles flying in when he heard that Magnus was close to waking up. When he did, Magnus didn't eat for days after hearing about his mother's death again.
But then he recovered, believing he was going to live with his grandmother. But out of nowhere, his father filed for custody and won out since he was his father. William had no time for Magnus, but just wanted to spite his ex-mother in law. He also abused Magnus, causing him to retreat into himself more, becoming the shy, quiet boy he is today. But when this was found out, Franzisca, who had moved to Britain to be closer to her grandson, filed for custody and won over, William being sent to jail. Franzisca is a head strong, quick paced woman for her old age and sent Magnus to Hogwarts since she knew he still needed his education. She was so happy when he got Ravenclaw. Her daughter had Griffindor, and she was just as proud. "Anything you get my boy, I'll be happy for you. You will be a wonderful student and person. Just remember," she said, leaning in, and whispered, "Don't take shit from anyone." Magnus had never heard his grandmother swear other than then.

RP EXPERIENCE? About a year now
RP SAMPLE. Magnus simply walked through the halls, looking around at the school. It was just what he imagined it. Huge castle, with wacky teachers and classes, students who accepted him for who he was. It was amazing. He wasn't expecting, however, the moving staircase or the talking paintings. Magnus had a nice conversation with a painting of a woman who apparently saw the entire Battle of Hogwarts and lived to tell the tale in her frame. Now, walking to the Ravenclaw tower, he stood before the door and watched the bronze doorknocker open its mouth. "Who needs batteries or silly old springs? I have no want for those kinds of things. My top is my bottom, my bottom my top. If you knock me over, I surely stop. Awake from sleep with a soft touch. I'll never be late...at least not by much. What am I?"
Magnus held his chin and flicked his hair to the side so his blond bangs weren't in his eyes. "An... hourglass! They tell time, but don't run on springs or batteries. It can be reversable top and bottom, and if you knock it over, it stops telling time!" The eagle closed its mouth and the door opened to the common room. Blue carpets and couches were around desks and bookshelves. A fireplace crackled and light streamed through the windows onto students. Some were talking, others reading, some were writing and some were just goofing off. Bronze chandeliers hung from the ceilings and chess sets were on the right wall of the room. Magnus walked in and then felt something that he hadn't felt in awhile. He felt at home.
