11 | incoming firstie '92 | aspiring Hogsmeade street urchin

Alexander is currently orphaning it up at St Mungo’s Home for Inconvenient Children and will be attending Hogwarts starting this September.  His parents were lost at sea almost a year ago, there's a chance your character knows it, and he absolutely does not want to talk about it.  His brother's forked off gone back to Hogwarts which means he's finding his own way... which right now involves a lot of ignoring adults and sneaking out whenever he can manage. 

• Friends: He used to live in London - maybe he had friends there before the shipwreck?
  
• Fellow Inconvenient Children: anyone else living at the orphanage?
  
• Hogsmeade (and Irvingly?) at large:  When he can escape the watchful eyes at the orphanage he's absolutely running around Hogsmeade doing whatever he wants.  He hates being patronized or being told what to do so he'd probably try and avoid most adults unless he thought they were Cool™.  I'm down for him to end up befriending literally anyone he might run into on his adventures cus I think he's quietly very lonely.
  
• Shenanigans: I'm sure he gets up to some mischief, if only by virtue of being rebellious and occasionally unsupervised.  He's a good kid so he wouldn't be breaking any laws but he has no patience or respect for rules that he doesn't see the point of.
