[INNER THOUGHTS]
Overview:
In school, Emmett was your average Hufflepuff student. He loved playing Gobstones and had a loyal pack of friends that we’re always with him. He was an excellent student, and was at the top his class in his given house, particularly gifted in the Charms area. He was loyal, determined, naïve and had a very sweet and caring nature about him. He was dedicated to his school work and hated Qudditch because he much preferred to read. He was nothing extraordinary—just a little kid with a big heart and even larger dreams. As he grew to adulthood, some of these things changed. A lot of circumstances in his 6th and 7th years at Hogwarts allowed him to become a much more mature, bitter teenager.
After Hogwarts, he was brought to the real world in the middle of a war. While most people he was friends with immediately sided with the Order, he wavered a little. He had never had any interest in sharing the Wizarding World with the muggles. In addition, most of his family was purebloods and he had never been brought up around muggle culture. He lost a lot friends because of his decision to remain neutral in the war, and he lost a lot of his support system with the hardships in his life. He began drinking a lot, and he thought bitterly of the ones he used to call friends. He lost the naïve traits he once possessed, and he grew up much faster than one should.

[HISTORY]
When Emmett was born, he was raised to be the perfect member of the light pure-blood family, much like the Weasleys. As a child, he enjoyed reading much more than Quidditch, and always enjoyed games like Gobstones and Chess. His mother and father were confused by him, but they loved him all the same. He was the youngest of four—he had two older brothers and an older sister. He was always determined to prove himself in his family, and one of the happiest moments of his childhood happened when he received his Hogwarts letter.
He was sorted into Hufflepuff in Hogwarts, and it fit his personality very well. He made a ton of friends who shared the naïve and loyal nature he had. He had great success in school for the first few years and he made a name for himself besides the “youngest Connors boy”.
Later in his schooling, however, things started to happen that led to his downfall. He made friends with a few Slytherin kids, and his other friends were outraged. However, that was just the beginning of his troubles. Jessica Marie Danthers was a Slytherin girl that had a pretty awful reputation for being a bit of a whore. Well, Emmett didn’t like to judge people before he met them, and he and Jessica had a connection no one could deny. However, that connection led to a very heated night once in 6th year that led to Jessica’s teenage pregnancy.
His family was outraged that something like this could happen, and refused to give Emmett any financial help—even after Jessica left the baby with Emmett. Now, he was a 7th year Hogwarts student with a pregnant girlfriend who wanted nothing to do with the baby and a family who refused to support him in any way. The baby was born one month after he graduated Hogwarts, and he bought a flat with the money he’d made at a part-time job during school. He finally thought that perhaps things were going to go well now.
But there was more on the horizon than just that. During the first few years out of Hogwarts, a war was brewing—and the young population was expected to choose a side. Most of his friends were dealing with the Order, but he declined the offer to join. His best friend Kyle demanded to know why, but Emmett couldn’t give him an answer. After that, he lost most of friends, and his support system for dealing with his son, Jacob.
Now, the trials of a bitter man come to a close—but there is much more coming. He’s going to have to choose a side, and can he choose what he wants as opposed to what he should do?
