So for a couple reasons, I decided to combine Hogwarts rumble with another idea I had for an OC character. I've never done it before, but I wanted to try it in a structured environment.

For the sake of being to the point, I will make the first "Hogwarts Rumble: Alternative" chapter as a psych profile on Arien Carstair, the OC. Funnily enough, I didn't actually make this character. My ex did, basing him off of certain parts of my personality, though I've taken steps to make him more interesting than I am. Lol. I've wanted to use him, because of how fleshed out I made him, and while this might not capture all of him, it will be a good jumping off point for later.

Consider these chapters as occuring in the Rumble Timeline. The first will take place during Goblet, once I give you an idea of who Arien Carstair is, and why he is the way he is.

Before anyone freaks out, this is mostly just a side project within the story. It'll have the same style of writing as the main line, just from a different person's perspective.

Psych Profile:

Arien was born to purebloods Nihilus and Medusa Carstair via a muggle surrogate. Medusa found out she was unable to have children, and while she and Nihilus are purebloods, they are not supremacists. When they found out that muggles had a way to use someone else for the child, they quickly jumped at the opportunity.

Nihilus is a famous auror, and was partnered with Mad Eye Moody until Moody retired shortly after the initial fall of the Dark Lord. Known for screaming "Situational Awareness!" before banishing objects at his son to keep him on his toes. Relationship with parents typical, nothing of import beyond father taking son's defense teaching very serious. Arien was not aware he was a halfblood until his 6th birthday, when his parents revealed the circumstances of his birth. His parents made him swear to keep it a secret from the wizarding world at large, only telling those he trusted. He confided in his childhood friend Blaise, who haughtily replied Arien was inferior to him regardless of blood status(Blaise's way of saying he didn't care).

Is considered to be highly intelligent by his peers and teachers, but his work ethic places him around 14th in his year ranking.

Starting Hogwarts resulted in him placed in Slytherin, much to the amusement of his father, who was a Ravenclaw. "Infiltrate and subvert from within" was his reason given, plus a preference for their house colors. Tends to keep to himself since first year, though when Mr. Zabini began attending Hogwarts, they were often seen hanging around places where they won't be bothered by other people. Started advanced defense lessons with Professor Snape in his second year. Arien is highly amused by the man's attempts at intimidation, and often compares the man to a bat. Professor Flitwick noticed during Arien's first year that he rarely applied himself, despite having a highly analytical mind. When asked why he didn't try harder on schoolwork, Arien responded "nail that sticks up the most gets hammered down first". Entered a relationship with a Hufflepuff named Caroline Prewitt during his fourth year. Ended when he caught her making out with another member of Hufflepuff. Dislikes Puffs in general for this reason, and that betrayal has given him difficulties trusting people outside Blaise and his parents. Has a tendency for annoying Gryffindors for his own amusement. Has a tendencies to be vicious when dueling, particularly with people he views as trash(typically, children of death eaters as well as cheaters). He uses his moderate skill in Legilimency typically to communicate with his snake, as he lacks access to Parselmagic. Will fake hisses to his snake in order to freak out younger students. Despite being lazy and skilled with defense, desires to be a medical wizard with a focus on mind healing. Became interested in doing when his father mentioned that two former auror colleagues suffered from a currently untreatable mental condition. Enjoys annoying his best friend with muggle philosophy. Specifically Kant and Hume. Despite staying away from relationships since his last one, he does genuinely want to fall in love again, just has trust issues. Doesn't bother with flings or physical satisfaction unless he has emotional attachment. Finds them 'pointless exercises in animalistic urges'. Debated playing professional quidditch. Is somewhat undecided on that idea. Does NOT want to be an auror like his father, despite hating families like the Malfoys. Hates discrimination of any kind, be it against muggleborns, werewolves, vampires, veela, etc. Does find Veela mildy annoying because of their allure tugging at his Occlumency shields and their desire for shallow physical affection, though admits he hasn't actually met a veela and is more operating on stories from his father's youth. Detests being told what to do.

Attended the World Cup with his Father, ended up in box seats with French Head of Law Enforcement, Sebastien Delacour and his family.

And that is where our story begins...

So here is a rough composite of Arien's profile. I may add more information to this as needed, but I wanted to give you guys the heads up for something I wanted to include here. Hope you find it enjoyable, and I'll upload the actual "Alternative" chapter later tonight. Thanks for reading.

Raizen out.
