Heritage and Childhood
For parent and grandparent information refer to the file of Tobias Stonem.
Jason is a pureblood wizard, born to Carridee and Richard Stonem on 11th May 1997. He adored his mother before she died, and was often a source of comfort to her as she felt that she had done a terrible job of raising his older brother. His father always kept his distance from Jay, and focused his attention on the youngest of the three siblings after their mother's death.
Mostly due to his parents fear of their eldest son, Jason was kept well away from Tobias as a child. As Tobias was institutionalised from a young age, Jason's most prominent childhood memories of his brother are the Christmas' and birthdays spent at St Mungos. Their father had always told Jason that his brother was very jealous of him, though Jason recalls Tobias being nothing but nurturing and kind to him.
He also has a younger sister, who he is very close to and fiercely protective of. Keira and Jason were the best of friends before Jason was sent to be schooled at The Durmstrang Institute aged 11 after which they drifted apart as Jay became more obsessed with Quidditch.
Jason adored his mother, before she passed away, and though he was close with his father, after
Education
Jay attended Durmstrang like his father and was placed in the house of Klyk Vampira- or Vampire's Fang.
It is described that a typical member of the house will be alert, perceptive and quick to grasp any given situation. Members of this house will be analytical, rational and goal oriented. The Klyk Vampira is efficient and self-confident, tacking any challenges thrown at them in an organised and sensible fashion. Driven by ambition, academic excellence is important to the KV house. It is imperative to be successful and a member of this house might be somewhat ruthless in the pursuit of their goals. This does not necessarily imply malicious intent, merely a certain self-serving attitude. The KV boys often prioritise their own welfare over that of others, although overall are social and communicative- it is usually for a purpose. Many of them are well versed in the art of flattery and manipulation and can easily coax others into giving them what they want and need. KV students are fond of experimentation, and have a certain thirst for excitement that can be hard to quell.
Jason enjoyed Durmstrang enormously. He was a popular student, whose Quidditch skills made him good friends with Viktor Krum, with whom he attended the Tri-wizard tournament and travelled to Hogwarts for the competition. He formed an unusually close relationship with Igor Karkaroff, who became his mentor and a more prominent father figure. He favoured Jason and Viktor and did not mind bending the rules for the pair who often snuck out of their dorms to play Quidditch or to go to parties.
Jay completed his sixth year of education at Durmstrang before transferring to Hogwarts to complete his education in co-ordinance with his acceptance to the English Quidditch Squad. He was again a popular student, persuasive and charming, who made friends easily and was placed into Slytherin House. His status as a Quidditch player elated his confidence, though by no means made him arrogant. He is, on the contrary, very humble and polite.
At Hogwarts, his studies were not a priority, and while he practiced with the Slytherin Quidditch Team as their beater, he also practiced with all other house teams and a large chunk of his time-table was taken up by Quidditch practices and meets held in London.
Quidditch Career
Jay was constantly encouraged as a child to spend more time on a broom than his feet. He is a natural beater and team player- able to read games easily and utilise his strengths. His friendship with Viktor Krum no doubt played a part in his rise to fame, though he is exceptionally talented on a broom. He trained with Krum many times in and out of school, and was offered a place on the English Quidditch Squad aged 17. His broom is his most prized possession. The modified Comet 370, was a gift from his father upon his acceptance to the England team. The broom is extended to accommodate for Jason's taller than average stature and adjusted on the left-hand side so that it is not uncomfortable when he over-leans on that leg to swing his bat.
Jason played as a Beater for the English and British International Teams from being 17-29 years old.
Later Life
Jason married Clara Page, who he was in relationship with during his final year at Hogwarts. Together they have two children, Issac and Isabelle.
Post Quidditch career, Jay worked as deputy head of division in The British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, Department of Magical Games and Sports at the Ministry for Magic.
After three years, he was offered the Head of Division position, earning him a seat on the Wizengamot, and while working at the Ministry, he took great interest in the Hearing and Disciplinary procedures in the Department for Magical Law Enforcement.
At 36, he contacted Cho Chang, an ex-pupil of Hogwarts who he learned had married a muggle individual and become a muggle lawyer. He retired from his position and established his own Magical Law firm, which represents clients in the Wizengamot- something which up until this point had been rarely exercised.
Stonem and Chang law firm is in Canary Wharf, London and is very successful. It is one of the only Magical Representation firms in the UK. Chang heads the Misuse of Magic department and Jay heads the Magical Games and Sports division- whose clients are largely international Quidditch players who it represents, manages, and often defends in court.
