My dearest and nearest baby boy, and the obsession of the ages... Meet Callum Finnigan! Cal is a Gryffinpuff through and through and for a hot second there we were both worried about where he was gonna land, lol. In terms of personality, he's very sweet, slightly awkward sometimes and very motivated to protect those he loves. He's a quidditch buff and can't wait to try out for the team this year/befriend anyone he possibly can to talk about Quidditch, and he tends to scribble his inner-most throughts into a notebook he carries around with him.
In terms of background, Callum was born in 1880 as the first and only son/heir to the Finnigan line. Fourth generation Irish, Callum is born into a rather politically motivated family. They are “new money” that came onto the upper class scene only recently; Traolach Finnegan works in banking and built a successful empire he hopes Callum will one day inherit and expand. The family’s politics are aligned with the socialist movement that has started to rumble across Ireland, and Traolach is an increasingly interested member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. (Over the years this flavors Callum’s view of England and manifests very young as fanaticism for the Ballycastle Bats.)
This year Callum is both anxiously looking forward to Hogwarts and nervous. While, as stated, he can’t wait to be allowed to try out for his house quidditch team, the idea of making new friends worries him a touch. He’s never actually had to make friends with those in his own class and the thought alarms him. Compound the alarm with the fact that most of the other students will be English and, well, he’s a touch mortified.
I'm open at any/all fun plottage things for him whee~
