Cody Stevenson

First Year Hufflepuff Duellist

--PRE Hogwarts History---

Cody Stevenson. The boy we all have been waiting for! Where did he originate from? When did he move? How many people are in his immediate family? Any grandparents, cousins, or anyone we should know about? How old was he when he moved? How old is he now? Any treasured memories? Anything for a keepsake? Where did he move to? Why did he move there? What are his morals? Does he have any quirks? Allergies? Conditions? What does he fear? How does he see himself?

These are questions that guide us through Cody’s Pre Hogwarts journey. Shall we begin?

Once upon a time, there was a boy, who was born to a set of parents, and with his own doppelganger. He was born in Salem Massachusetts in America, moved to Boston Massachusetts, same country, when he was two years old. When he grew up with his twin, he experienced a lot of people mocking the heritage of witches and wizards.

Claire Stevenson, Cody’s mother, would advise him not to hang out with those… bullies. He would not listen. He found the experience rather immersing. Jack Stevenson, Cody’s father, was having a nightly chat with Claire, sometimes arguing, to try and convince her to get Cody a punching bag, or even private lessons with a fighting specialist, so he could take on those bullies. However, thanks to Freddy, the two twins had to deal with a repetitive one word. No.

His grandmother, on his dad’s side, Sherri Stevenson, gave him a ring that he loved wearing during his time in Boston Massachusetts, and it was a sterling silver metal wrap around his ring finger, with an eyeball, of blue pupil, and silver teeth as eyelashes. For a five year old, to be given that gift, was really awesome! His grandfather, on his dad’s side, Frank Stevenson, was no fun apparently. All he did was sleep. Well, except when Monster Mash came on, and that was when he’d wake up and glare at Cody or Freddy as if they did something wrong, or that he was suspecting them of something.

Now, both on his mother’s side. His grandfather did like to send postcards from wherever he went as a way to remember him. Roger Grace, the grandfather, the father of Claire Stevenson, died when Cody was six. All he had to remember Roger by, was his ridiculous amount of postcards and neverending boxes of letters. But, it was Roger who was a Goblin. So he was always short. But he always had money to afford all the trips he took. His mother’s mom, or his grandmother, Henrietta Grace, also died, but she died a few weeks after the family moved from Boston to the United Kingdoms. The last thing that Cody had in his hands from Henrietta was a necklace, with green and purple rocks on the string, and a golden tree inside a circle as the main focus point of his necklace. This would always be Cody’s staple from now on.

The only person that officially greeted himself to Cody at Roger’s funeral, was his known cousin, but neither parents know which side he came from. Greg Carter was his name. He claimed he knew Roger, as he was someone who would always get a box of underwear from him every saturday. He would of course admit that he would miss it. Sure, it was quite excessive, but that was something he looked forward to, and that was how he knew that Roger was in a slightly playful mood.

Cody’s mother would then get him away from Greg, and give him a stern talking to about talking to strangers. Her half goblin heritage gave herself away. Greg was the reason why Claire wanted Cody away from Greg, as Greg mocked her for her height.

He has treasures that he keeps in his bed as a memory of his dead relatives. This was his greatest fear. Seeing another relative die. He grew to admire Henrietta and Roger. It was a shame how they died. Well, another fear was losing a friend, and having them turn enemy. It would be hard to get his frenemy back to being a friend. It was hard anyways, the way Cody was.

They moved to Plymouth, England to get away from the traumatic memories of death. It was there in Plymouth when Cody would start being defiant. And this was when he was SEVEN. He thinks that his morals are all chaos based, so he thinks nothing of it. His allergies developed when he actually got settled into their house in Plymouth. He was officially allergic to cat hair and cat food. He also had a condition that all doctors suggest that the parents punish for. Having tantrums. Eh, Cody did act a little spoiled at times. And he was BIG on acting out.

Several weeks later, Cody and Freddy were in a good mood. They wanted to play doctor/patient. Cody was the patient, and he was said to be allergic to kissing, as the cat licked him. Ai, truly monstrous. But Freddy thought it was really funny, and decided to jot down random notes in the Doctor's Notes that the boys made together. That was what Cody took with him to Hogwarts.

Once Cody had to go buy his supplies to be at Hogwarts, his first instance of magic was when he was seven, quite a few months after his arrival in Plymouth, he saw another necklace he liked, begged his parents to get it, and it was thirty galleons for it. For a half goblin mother, she seemed to be rather rich.

The necklace was black, had seven points inside it’s circle, and had branches of magic inside it. On the back, was another black form. It was a pentagram.

Cody sees himself as someone who can motivate himself to wreck parties, cause drama, and make himself smile. What made him smile, was once again, his acting out. Once he would learn some spells at Hogwarts, he might use them for mischief, for fun. Same for the Potions. Even if he was never invited into a group, he would barge in and be ruder than an ox running at you.

---- First Year at Hogwarts ---

Upon arrival at Hogwarts, Cody discovered a box, a twelve inch long and six inch wide wooden box, with 4 inches for it's height. Inside was DNA evidence of who Cody was related to. Cody would study over that, and discover that he was related to his best friend's grandmother, and she was related to Cody's grandmother. How... eerie was that?

Cody had to be delighted, but he was also disappointed. He was in love with Juniper, but at least now he knows that he can't date her. Well, he'd find someone else to love. He'd give Juniper a brotherly love if he got to choose! Anyways.. they were cousins now, weren't they?

What was inside the box besides the DNA proof, was of a shirt saying "Sisters by Chance, Friends by Choice." But what was disappointing, was that due to what Cody's grandmother said, the two faced a rather rough tiff, a rivalry that crushed many. Well, many hearts. The two were ones that "partners in crime." Granted, they never stole anything and caused that bad of a trouble.

But then they got into a big fight with each other, Cody's grandmother wanting to cause chaos more than they usually did. But what else was inside, was a glowing crystal of either blue or green, making a aqua color. He knew of the necklace, he saw that on Juniper's grandmother's neck in the very old image of the two sisters hugging. But his grandmother's necklace was not in there, the one in the picture. Well, that could be explained. Cody had it already. The grandmother gave it to Cody BEFORE he left to Plymouth England.

The fourth thing in the box was a baby bib colored pastel purple... as if they weren't expecting either a boy or a girl... especially to have a half goblin for a daughter/son. Now, Cody was beginning to understand the main reason for the split. The grandmothers have had their kids, and then they went their separate ways. How horrible was that? Well, at least he had Juniper to hug and to care for. It was indeed a specialty that Cody had, to be a brother, specifically disastrous. But now, not even Juniper could make a break for it, as Cody was officially older than she was! That was something worth celebrating! But... he was going to hide the box. He hid it in the Abandoned Labratory so he could reveal the secrets to Juni one day.

-----December 2021-----
Cody got his owl of which he sent out a week prior, asking if he could attend Juniper Kelly’s Christmas Party on December 20 2021. But, instead of telling him he could attend rather directly, Jack, Cody’s father, told him something that chilled him to his bones. Without even a goodbye, Cody and Freddy didn’t have a mother, and it happened overnight. Claire, Cody’s mother, left the twins. But on his father’s bright side, Freddy was coming to Hogwarts to be with Cody, and that was all the father had to say.

Cody had a million questions, but little time or parchment, or ink, to ask. He sent poor Darksea down to Plymouth England, where the family house resides, to deliver the letter and to return with the detailed response. After several days without Darksea, he finally came. Cody was delighted, but also nervous to read about what happened. Apparently, Jack had been seeing someone else for years, especially when the twins were at home. But, Claire, who found out just this past year, learned too late that her husband was not going to stop seeing this treacherous person. So she left.

The man in question was Dylan Ramone, a “family man” who would supposedly dub the Stevensons with a ray of brilliance and perfection. Of course, the false promises of things being alright wasn’t quite so promising to Cody, as he made a few at Hogwarts. He knew his dad, and he knew what would happen. But, as his gaze reached the last sentence of the parchment, he was shocked, his mind felt as if it was blown. His dad… was getting married to Dylan and his mother’s divorce was handled.

Cody panicked. He was officially losing his mother. Well, maybe not officially. He could still see her, but she wouldn’t be his mother full time. Cody reread the letter once more, to make sure he didn’t miss anything or read anything wrong.

Indeed, he missed one tiny detail. Oh who was he kidding? It was GINORMOUS! It was horrible! The Stevensons didn’t live in a mansion, or a two story house! They lived in a 5 room house, including a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room. That left one room. The room his dad, Freddy, and Cody shared. With this bit of information, would they need to build an extension to make room for FIVE NEW BROTHERS?

Yes! That was Cody’s biggest issue, never mind the fact his mom left! He now had to deal with more brothers! And according to stories Cody read when he was in America, it was the fact that twin brothers and step brothers always bullied each other, and Cody really did not want that!

He went to Juniper’s party, and while he was there, he sent Darksea to his dad, right as he was prepping his wedding and driving Freddy to Platform 9 ¾. When Cody returned to Hogwarts after the break at Juniper’s, he came across Freddy in his own dormitory! How in the world did Freddy be a Hufflepuff? Why is he in the same House?

Freddy’s replies would be a little odd. To Cody. He would say that Dad and Dylan got married, and it was a beautiful sight. But, what took Freddy a little bit longer to say… was that the five step-brothers Cody now had, were all pureblooded, and they attended Hogwarts. All of them a year above each other, making Cody and Freddy the youngest of the bunch.

It was official. Cody had a new father, five new brothers, lost a mother, and have to deal with his family when he happens to run into them.
