Biography
Ben Copper was born to Muggle parents in Great Britain in late 1972 or 1973. He began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1984.

On journey on the Hogwarts Express, he was tormented the entire time by Merula Snyde, who kept threatening him and calling him a "Mudblood." He was later sorted into Gryffindor. As a result of Merula's bullying, he spent his first days at Hogwarts following her around, hoping this would prevent her from sneaking up on him, or give him a chance to run away if she did. This coupled with the fact that, as a Muggle-born, he found the wizarding world new and scary, made him think he did not belong in Gryffindor.

Ben became particularly skilled in Charms.

In his second year, Ben went missing. Having last been seen on the Hogwarts Express, his friends went looking for him in the Artefact room, where they found a note with a code written by a person named R, instructing the reader to go to one of the Hogwarts Common room and untransfigure a black quill to a note wh the next hint. They believed that the note was intended for Ben.

He was later found on a fifth floor corridor, trapped in cused ice, and was freed by Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. He was taken to the hispital wing.
