Samuel Patrick Cole
DOB: January 15, 1998
Appearance
Sam is broad shouldered, stocky boy and is a little shorter than Teddy. As a child, he was a little on the chubby side, but once he reached third year and began playing Quidditch, he grew several feet and his 'baby fat' became muscle. He is an average looking boy, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He has rather large hands relative to his height and his skin is tan.
Personality
Sam is a sweet kid, with a kind heart and a 'never-give-up' attitude. He is also exceptionally loyal and a great to friend to Teddy. Although he is socially, a little awkward, particularly around girls, he eventually grows out of this trait.
Early Years
As a Muggle born, Sam went to an ordinary Muggle primary school until he reached the age of eleven. He began showing early signs of magic that his mother dismissed as being coincidences, however, when Professor McGonagall arrived at their quaint Scottish cottage and informed her that Sam was a wizard, she took it quiet well. Sam is also an only child and was a little spoilt by his mother, Heather, as his father had died many years before.
Hogwarts
Sam was sorted into Gryffindor on September 1st, 2009 and immediately became friends with Teddy Lupin. Although he wasn't the smartest, Sam was a diligent worker and did as well as he could manage. He had a love of food that was almost greater than Ron Weasley's and would often sneak down to the kitchens at night for extra helpings of treacle tart.
When it came to girls, he was a little oblivious and didn't really know how to interact with them. When Teddy introduced him to Rachel Ferris, a friend of Victoire, Sam blushed a deep red and promptly dropped the armful of sweets he was holding. However, when he and Rachel started dating in his fourth year, he became more comfortable around them.
His hard work paid off in the end and he achieved fairly good OWL results, which allowed him to take the required NEWTs to become an Auror like Teddy.
Owl results:
Transfiguration: Exceeds Expectations
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Outstanding
Charms: Outstanding
Potions: Acceptable
Herbology: Exceeds Expectations
Care of Magical Creatures: Poor
Astronomy: Acceptable
History of Magic: Troll
Divination: Troll
In his fourth year, Sam joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was a Beater for three years. He graduated Hogwarts in 2016.
Career
There was much speculation around Sam's entry into the Auror Department, as many believed his affiliation with Teddy, godson of Harry Potter, had given him an advantage. Sam ignored these speculations and worked with Teddy for fifty years.
Relationships
Teddy Lupin
Sam and Teddy became friends immediately, having much in common. Sam's want for a friend, having stemmed from his being an only child, led him to be extremely kind and cheery towards Teddy. The two of them were inseparable for all of their time at Hogwarts and even in adulthood, with Teddy being the best man at Sam's wedding, and vice versa.
Rachel Ferris
Upon first meeting Rachel in Hogsmeade in his fourth year, Sam was a little shy and awkward, promptly dropping his sweets on the ground when trying to shake her hand. He thought she was very pretty and couldn't quite find the words to talk to her. When Teddy encouraged him to give her a red, heart shaped lollipop for Valentines day, he was rewarded with a kiss on the cheek, and from then on, Sam vowed he would do anything to make Rachel smile. They began dating soon afterwards and his devotion to her surprised many. He told her she was beautiful at least three times every day, and declared to anyone who would listen, that he was the luckiest guy in the world.
The two of them married in March, 2023, and had a son, Luke John, two years later. Luke and Teddy and Victoire's daughters became very close friends.
A/N: So, this is one of my OCs. I've mentioned Sam a little in Tell Me Harry. He's one of those adorable kid's that you can't help but love, and the way he treats Rachel is so cute! xx
