PERSONALITY:
At first glance, when you see Emrys around his friends, it’s easy to think he’s the very definition of a Slytherin. He can be boisterous, blunt, arrogant, making fun of other people, not sparing a thought of the feelings of others. And it’s true. He’s all those things and more. Some times he thinks he has more bad traits than good ones. Being brought up around dark artefacts, Emrys is knowledgeable about their origins and what they can do. Dark Arts is of an interest to him as well, but he’s careful not to mention that to people who might just think he’s the next Dark Lord rising up. Emrys has a knack for figuring it out what people want and then finding a way to rip them off. Unscrupulous? Yes. He was taught to be that way.
Emrys has a tendency to be dishonest and ruthless, lying about small things or huge life threatening secrets. Like how he hunted down his father after he saw him hitting his mother when she refused to give him money. Figuring out a way to get rid of this man for good, Emrys tipped off the people whom he owned money to. It was no more than two days later that his body was found somewhere. And Emrys wasn’t upset to know that he had indirectly caused the death of the man who was his father.
But he’s not entirely without good traits, even if his cynical mind thinks so. He’s passionate about the things he does, like Quidditch or even the shop, even if he was an unwilling heir to it. He’s protective over his younger siblings and he’s not above threatening anyone who has hurt them, although he tries not to physically harm them unless given permission by his siblings. And only the males. Emrys doesn’t do with hitting the ladies. He’s composed in all situations, even when he figures out someone is going to slap him. He lets them do it, if he deserves it.

HISTORY:
There was no love lost between Maddox Burke and Lysandra Yaxley. Both were forced together into the marriage, to preserve the purity of both their families, even if the trend of doing so was dying out. Maddox Burke was the only son, and he’d debated leaving the country, but his father, one of the original founders of Borgin and Burkes, promised his son a pile of money if he did so. With the promise of money, Maddox married Lysandra. She was pleasing on the eyes, even if she was a little frigid. The pair had their first child, Emrys, followed by Steffen and Anwen. Their names were all chosen by Caractacus Burke, their grandfather.
Maddox Burke was a gambler. Anything that he could gamble on he could. Would the Magpies win their next match? Would Harry Potter become the next Minister? Would the young wife of his uncle cheat on him? If so, with who? Since he discovered the Muggle ways of gambling in his teenage years, Maddox had been hooked. It wasn’t long before the money from his father ran out. He ran up debts. The Burkes were a wealthy family, mostly because of Caractacus’s unscrupulous ways with his merchandise, a trait that his eldest grandson would eventually share with him.
Caractacus’s refusal to loan his son money to pay off his debts, resulted in an estrangement, leaving the old man to raise his grandchildren, together with Lysandra Yaxley. Caractacus took special interest in his eldest grandson, Emrys, raising him up to be the heir to Borgin and Burkes, something his son was never interested in. Lysandra was more than willing to have her hyperactive young son away from her, and in Knockturn Alley, spending his childhood learning about various dark artefacts and the like.
It was off to Hogwarts he went, his head full of knowledge from his grandfather, who had told him more than once that he would be the eventual owner of the shop. Emrys, back then, was much more interested in showing off something he’d nicked from the shop to a group of blokes who seemed fascinated with it. The group of friends soon became his closest friends and they were all sorted into Slytherin. With a few exceptions into Ravenclaws. Emrys grew up, juggling his studies and quidditch practises and the ever present eye of his grandfather, who expected him to gain more knowledge of the dark artefacts. Naturally, there was a period of time in which Emrys decided that it was enough and he didn’t want to do it. That was the time his grandfather paid a visit to Steffan and seeing the misery in his younger brother’s face, Emrys started doing whatever his grandfather asked him to.
It was in his last year at Hogwarts that his father, having left with no other options, sold a story to The Daily Prophet, revealing to the world that he was paid to marry his wife. It made a minor splash in the Wizarding World, but it was soon forgotten. To Emrys however, it wasn’t something he would forget. In an attempt to get his mind off that, because he had been moping around for weeks, he agreed to take a bet while with his group of friends. Go up to the part Veela daughter of Professor Lupin and ask her out on a date. Truthfully, Emrys was expecting her to slap him and ask him to run along because she was not interested in Slyherins.
However, she agreed to go out on a date with him. A date led to another and pretty soon they were in a relationship. Many a times, Emrys had considered telling her that he asked her out only on a dare, but never did. Besides, she was good for him. She made him forget about his grandfather, about how he was supposed to marry Macmillan. Something that like would never end well. Eventually she found out, no thanks to Macmillan, that he’d just asked her out on a dare and Emrys, deciding that it was time she knew, didn’t deny it. The slap that he expected the first time around came and that was the last he ever saw of her. Except until recently where Macmillan told him that she was working in Saint Mungo’s alongside her.
His marriage is impending, he’s taken over Borgin and Burkes… his life is pretty much set up for him.

SAMPLE POST:
Victoire thought she heard something, possibly Bren’s voice. No, most certainly Bren’s voice with his usual sarcasm. Still, she went into the kitchen, opening it before Brennan invited her to take some butterbeer from his fridge. “I thought you’d never ask, sweetheart.” She said, choosing two bottles randomly. The blonde turned, only to notice that he wasn’t dressed. Victoire didn’t consider a towel around his waist being clothed. She thought about asking him to get dressed, since she wasn’t quite able to speak to someone without them being fully clothed, with the exception of Teddy. Still, she watched him as he was throwing all his clothes into a washing machine. Victoire had never actually seen Teddy do his laundry… did her boyfriend even have a washing machine in his apartment? The blonde didn’t think so.
But, she hadn’t come here to think about Teddy and his laundry habits. She unscrewed the cap of the butterbeer and took a sip, wondering if she should perhaps fling the bottle of butterbeer at him when he was obviously taking delight in the fact that her white dress had floo powder on it. She looked down, yes, there was still some traces of silvery powder on it. She set her bottle down, bending down to take her wand out from her boot. It wasn’t a very ideal place to put her wand in, she knew. “Yes, it’s up. Be honoured that you’re the first one I decided to visit.” Victoire told him, before murmuring a spell that would clean her dress.
“Maybe you should get a haircut.” She said, smiling slightly when he squeezed water out of his hair. Oh, who was she kidding? She liked him his current hairstyle now and he knew that. “Did I interrupt anything, besides you being half naked and parading around your house?”Victoire asked. She rarely ventured into the library during her Hogwarts years and it seemed to have carried over to her adult years as well. She had perhaps seen Brennan a total of five times this year outside the library in the castle?
