Eamon Carroway

- Father: Nathaniel Carroway (High-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Magical Law Enforcement)
- Mother: Lucinda Carroway (Socialite, well-known within Pure-blood circles)

- Siblings -
Caitlin Carroway (Older Sister, 16): A model student and top of her class in Ravenclaw, Caitlin is a prodigy with a keen mind for magical theory and an unwavering sense of duty. She is seen as the golden child in the family and a source of both admiration and pressure for Eamon.

Felix Carroway (Younger Brother, 8): Still at home, Felix is an energetic and curious child who looks up to Eamon in many ways. His magical abilities are still developing, but he has a knack for charming people and is well-liked by those who know him.

Eamon stands at 4'9" with a lean but athletic frame, characteristic of his Pure-blood lineage. Though still a child, his features are sharp, with high cheekbones, a straight nose, and emerald green eyes that hold a calculating and perceptive gaze. His dark brown hair is kept neatly combed, but a few unruly curls escape, adding a bit of youthful mischief to his otherwise refined appearance.
His face, though still youthful, often reflects a maturity beyond his years, as though he has seen more than most children his age. When in his Slytherin robes, Eamon looks impeccably composed, with the House’s green and silver colors standing out sharply against his pale skin and dark hair. The robes fit him perfectly, a subtle reflection of his family’s wealth and status, with no room for the awkwardness some first-years have as they grow into their new uniforms.
Though still young, there is something commanding about his posture—he moves with a quiet intensity, often with an air of confidence as if he’s already evaluating his surroundings and planning his next move.

Eamon is an introspective and calculated boy, and his first year at Hogwarts is no different from the way he approached the world before he arrived. Though his age might suggest naïveté, he carries himself with a quiet confidence that makes it seem like he’s already figured out his place in the magical world—though he’s still learning.
As a Slytherin, Eamon holds an innate sense of ambition and determination, always striving to be the best. His upbringing in a high-society Pure-blood family has instilled in him the belief that he must live up to the Carroway legacy. However, Eamon is not just focused on power for the sake of it—he’s more interested in control, especially when it comes to social dynamics and building relationships that will benefit him in the future.
Though he may come across as cold or aloof, he is deeply loyal to his family and those who have proven themselves worthy of his trust. However, this loyalty is hard-won, as he tends to keep most people at arm’s length, preferring to observe before committing to any friendships. He is very selective about who he lets in, making it difficult for him to build deep emotional connections. While he doesn’t necessarily dislike people, he often finds socializing a means to an end, whether it’s for personal gain or to understand the motivations of others.
While his older sister Caitlin is often the family’s golden child—intelligent, composed, and widely admired—Eamon harbors a quiet sense of rivalry with her. Caitlin’s near-perfect record and excellence in Ravenclaw casts a long shadow over Eamon’s ambitions. He strives to prove himself as capable and deserving of his family’s approval, often comparing himself to her and struggling with the pressure to live up to her standards. Though he respects her, there is also a bit of resentment that simmers beneath the surface, as he feels overshadowed and judged.
With his younger brother Felix, Eamon adopts a more protective stance. He views Felix as naïve and carefree, someone who has yet to experience the complexities of the wizarding world. He’s somewhat of a mentor to Felix, teaching him what he knows about magic, but sometimes finds Felix’s innocence irritating, particularly when it clashes with Eamon’s own more cynical view of the world. Even so, he cares deeply for his brother and is fiercely protective of him.
Eamon’s wit and dry humor make him a hit with those who understand him, though his sarcasm can occasionally come off as harsh. Despite this, he prefers to keep most interactions measured and professional, aiming to build connections with those who can help him achieve his goals.

- Magical Aptitude: Eamon shows a strong magical ability, especially for his age. He is quick to grasp spells and charms, particularly in Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
- Strategic Thinking: Eamon excels in planning and thinking several steps ahead. He often applies this ability in both his academic studies and social interactions.
- Charisma: Though reserved, Eamon has a sharp charisma that can attract others when needed, particularly in situations that involve influence and power.
- Flying Talent: Eamon has a natural talent for flying, showing promise as a potential Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team once he’s older.
- Intellectual Drive: Eamon’s drive to prove himself academically and his ability to learn quickly have made him a standout student, particularly in magical theory.
- Independence: He doesn’t rely on others, instead choosing to chart his own course and learn from his own experiences, which has made him resilient and adaptable.

- Emotional Detachment: Eamon struggles to open up emotionally. He’s often seen as cold or indifferent to others’ feelings, as he’s been conditioned to hide his vulnerabilities from a young age.
- Overconfidence: Eamon’s sense of ambition sometimes leads him to be overly self-assured, causing him to underestimate challenges or the abilities of others.
- Trust Issues: Eamon finds it difficult to trust others, even his own peers. This stems from his perception that the world is a competitive place, where only the strong survive.
- Rivalry with Caitlin: Eamon’s complex relationship with his older sister sometimes holds him back, especially when it comes to constantly measuring himself against her achievements.
- Pride: Eamon’s pride, particularly when it comes to his family’s legacy, can cloud his judgment. He has a hard time accepting help from others, especially if it feels like it would make him appear weak.
- Social Inexperience: While capable, Eamon struggles in situations that require empathy and subtlety, especially when it comes to friendships. His tendency to calculate every interaction sometimes makes him seem overly tactical and disconnected.

1. Orla Montgomery (Slytherin, 1st Year)
Personality: Orla is sharp-witted, with a quick sense of humor and a no-nonsense attitude. She’s ambitious like Eamon but in a slightly more unpredictable way, making her less restrained in how she goes about achieving her goals. Orla is the type to speak her mind without much fear of what others think. Though she can come off as blunt, she has a loyal streak and values those who can challenge her intellectually.
Why They’re Friends: Orla and Eamon gravitate towards each other because of their shared ambition and the desire to succeed. Their friendship is built on a mutual respect for each other’s skills. Eamon admires Orla's courage to pursue unconventional approaches to problems, while Orla appreciates Eamon's strategic thinking. They often team up in classes or when working on projects, as they balance each other well. Orla isn’t as concerned with social status as Eamon is, so she helps him loosen up when he gets too obsessed with how others perceive him.
Dynamic: Though they are friends, their dynamic is built on competition as much as collaboration. Orla pushes Eamon to think outside the box, while Eamon encourages her to keep her plans organized. They aren’t afraid to challenge each other, but this is more a sign of their respect than any real tension.

2. Lily Atwood (Ravenclaw, 1st Year)
Personality: Lily is highly intellectual, with a deep love for magic and its theoretical aspects. She has a calm and collected demeanor, making her an excellent listener and someone who is easy to talk to. Though she often seems quiet, she’s known for her sharp observations and ability to quickly piece together information others might overlook.
Why They’re Friends: Eamon and Lily have a mutual respect for each other’s intellect. Lily is intrigued by Eamon’s strategic thinking and enjoys engaging in conversations with him about magical theory and history. Eamon, in turn, appreciates Lily’s ability to see things from a different perspective, often helping him refine his thoughts. While they don’t always agree on everything, their differences spark interesting debates that allow both of them to grow.
Dynamic: Though they belong to different Houses, Lily and Eamon’s friendship is based on mutual academic respect. While Eamon has a more pragmatic view of the world, Lily approaches things with logic and reason. Their conversations often involve dissecting magical theories or discussing the potential implications of new spells. Eamon feels comfortable with Lily because she doesn’t try to impose her beliefs on him, unlike some of the more idealistic students in Ravenclaw.

1. Archer Devereux (Gryffindor, 1st Year)
Personality: Archer is brave to the point of being reckless. His unwavering confidence and love for challenges make him the perfect Gryffindor, but this often means he charges headfirst into situations without fully considering the consequences. He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty, often sticking his neck out for people he feels need defending. While this makes him a good friend, it also makes him stubborn and sometimes overbearing.
Why He’s a Rival: Archer and Eamon first clashed when they were sorted into different Houses. Archer sees Eamon as calculating and overly cautious, while Eamon perceives Archer as reckless and too emotional. Their rivalry escalated in their first year when they found themselves competing for the top academic spot in their year. Archer’s more hands-on approach to magic, including his impulsive behavior, often frustrates Eamon, who believes that strategy and thoughtfulness are the keys to success. Archer’s brash personality also irritates Eamon, who finds his grand gestures to be unnecessary.
Dynamic: Though their rivalry is not personal in nature, it is built on a difference in philosophy and approach. Archer is a risk-taker, always looking for the next thrill, while Eamon believes in careful planning and deliberation. Their competition is most apparent in the classroom and the common room, where they vie for top marks, sometimes at the expense of working together.

2. Daphne Sinclair (Hufflepuff, 1st Year)
Personality: Daphne is the embodiment of kindness and loyalty, known for her ability to make everyone around her feel welcome and appreciated. She’s very empathetic, always trying to understand others' feelings and offering a listening ear when needed. Daphne is not as quick to anger as many other students, and her temperament is steady, even in high-stress situations.
Why She’s a Rival: While Daphne and Eamon have never had a direct confrontation, they often find themselves at odds in their social circle. Daphne believes that Eamon’s calculated way of operating is too self-serving, seeing his manipulative tendencies as a sign of someone who lacks genuine compassion. She tries to encourage him to care for others rather than seeing them as tools or obstacles. Eamon, in turn, views Daphne’s overemphasis on empathy as a weakness, often dismissing her kindness as naïve or unnecessary.
Dynamic: Though their rivalry is more philosophical than personal, it becomes apparent during group projects, especially when they have to work together. Daphne’s focus on teamwork and compassion often clashes with Eamon’s more individualistic mindset, creating tension during group activities. Eamon finds it hard to take her seriously at times, while Daphne feels frustrated with his apparent coldness.

3. Gideon Lockhart (Gryffindor, 1st Year)
Personality: Gideon is outgoing, bold, and brimming with confidence. Known for his quick wit and impulsive decisions, he often finds himself in trouble due to his lack of foresight. He’s not the best at controlling his emotions, sometimes speaking before thinking and inadvertently getting himself into situations he can’t easily get out of.
Why He’s a Rival: Gideon and Eamon’s rivalry began when they both competed for the role of prefect for their year. Gideon believed that he was the right fit due to his outgoing personality and his strong desire to make a name for himself, while Eamon felt that his quiet, strategic approach made him the better candidate. When Gideon was selected instead of Eamon, the rivalry intensified, with Eamon perceiving Gideon’s boisterous behavior as reckless and unfit for leadership.
Dynamic: While their rivalry is friendly on the surface, it’s driven by a desire to outdo one another. Eamon often finds Gideon’s lack of strategy infuriating, while Gideon is perplexed by Eamon’s more reserved and calculated approach to leadership. Despite their differences, they both secretly admire each other’s qualities, though they would never admit it. Their rivalry is fueled by their shared ambition and the desire to be seen as the best in their year.

Secret: Eamon’s secret is that he is haunted by the memory of a dark family incident—his older brother, Elias, disappeared under mysterious circumstances when Eamon was just a child. The official story is that Elias was lost in the Forbidden Forest during a family trip, but Eamon knows the truth is far more complicated. He was too young at the time to understand fully, but Eamon now believes that Elias's disappearance had something to do with a family curse tied to the Carroway lineage. The curse is rumored to affect all firstborn sons of their family, gradually leading them into a dangerous obsession with power, which eventually causes them to be consumed by darkness. Eamon’s parents have refused to talk about Elias, and the family never speaks of him anymore, but Eamon has found traces of clues—whispers from old family journals, cryptic references in ancient letters, and even strange, forbidden magic that suggests that his brother’s fate wasn’t an accident. Despite his outward ambition to rise above his family's past, Eamon secretly fears that he is destined to follow in his brother’s footsteps, becoming something unrecognizable and dangerous if he doesn't find a way to break the curse.

Why It’s a Secret: Eamon hides the truth about his brother’s disappearance because he’s terrified that if anyone discovers the family’s history, they will see him as weak or doomed. This fear stems from the stigma around the Carroway family, where power, ambition, and success are everything. If others were to learn about his brother and the possible curse, it could destroy his carefully constructed image of being a determined, successful student. It would also likely make him the subject of suspicion and scorn from his peers and family alike. Eamon has become increasingly obsessed with researching this curse and finding ways to prevent himself from succumbing to it. His secret study of forbidden magic and dark rituals is something he hides from everyone, including his closest friends. Deep down, he fears that, one day, he may not be able to control the powers he is unlocking, and he could fall down a path like Elias, lost to darkness forever.

How It Affects Him: This secret drives a lot of Eamon's actions, particularly his obsession with power and his deep desire to control his fate. It also causes him anxiety and self-doubt, as he’s constantly battling the fear that his ambition might lead him astray. Eamon is constantly looking over his shoulder, unsure if the curse is truly inescapable. This fear has led to his need to win and prove himself as better than his peers—especially his rivals. It’s the reason he is so strategic and calculating: he feels that if he doesn’t take control of every situation, he will fall prey to something darker that’s out of his control.

Eamon Carroway was born into a prominent Pure-blood family, known for their high standing within the wizarding world. His father, Nathaniel Carroway, is a high-ranking official in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, while his mother, Lucinda Carroway, is a well-known socialite who regularly mingles with other Pure-blood families.
Eamon has two siblings: Caitlin, his 16-year-old older sister, who is a top student in Ravenclaw and the family’s golden child, and Felix, his 8-year-old younger brother, who still lives at home and is fascinated by magic but is not yet attending Hogwarts. Eamon’s childhood has been shaped by the pressure to live up to the Carroway family’s prestigious legacy. From a young age, he was told that excellence was expected, and that failure was not an option.
As a result, Eamon has always been driven by the desire to prove himself. Though his parents have high hopes for him, he often feels overshadowed by Caitlin’s academic success and the social expectations placed upon him. His rivalry with her has grown quietly over the years, and while he admires her, he can’t help but feel the sting of constantly being compared to her brilliance.
Despite the pressure at home, Eamon is determined to carve out his own identity at Hogwarts. He was sorted into Slytherin, the House that aligns with his ambitions and drive for success. While Caitlin excels at academic achievement, Eamon is determined to make his own mark through magical ability and social influence, quietly working to build his reputation and make the most of every opportunity that Hogwarts offers.
Though he has the confidence to forge his own path, Eamon knows that the road ahead will not be easy. Hogwarts is full of rivals, and he will need to tread carefully as he navigates the complexities of House dynamics, academic expectations, and the broader wizarding world’s shifting tides.
