"The one with the power to destroy our world approaches ... born to Muggles on the twenty-fifth of may, the destroyer will end the magical realm once and for all..."

- The prophecy

Austin Drake Worthington (b. May 25, 1996) is a Muggle-born wizard, the only child of two British officials, and is one of the most famous wizards in modern times. He is also one of the most famous students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is disliked by many due to a prophecy that says he will bring about the end of the Wizarding world. During the Third Wizarding War, this prophecy, as well as his Muggle-born status, caused a rivalry between Austin and the Dark wizard Justin Elswick.

At the age of eleven, Austin began attending Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. While at school, he became best friends with Elvira Thorton, the last of an ancient family of purebloods.

After the war, Austin became a Hogwarts professor and married Elvira. Austin is also notable for being the second only known person to survive the Killing Curse.

Family Lineage


When Austin was first introduced to the Wizarding world, it was believed that he was a Muggle-born, but was later revealed that he was a direct descendant of one of the Squib sons of Thaddeus Thurkell, who is his earliest known magical ancestor. Because he has traceable magical ancestry, some would consider him a Half-Blood, but pure-blood fanatics consider him Muggle-Born, because his Squib ancestors were disowned by Wizarding society, and he himself says that he is a "Mudblood and proud."

Early Life
Austin was born on May 25, 1996 to Muggle parents, in a mainly Muggle town. He was exceptionally bright in his Muggle schooling, and in his youth he often experienced strange things that he could not explain, unaware of his magical talent.

You're a Wizard, Austin
When Austin turned 11 he discovered the exceptional reality about his identity. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had invited Austin in. The week of his birthday, Rubeus Hagrid was sent by Hogwarts and explained to he and his parents that there were witches and wizards in hiding all over the world. Hagrid gave him a small, homemade birthday cake and took Austin to Diagon Alley and, using a fund set up by the school to help Austin's poor Muggle family, they bought supplies at the shops. Austin also brought along his rather old cat, Miss Kitty.

Dragon Heartstring Wand
Austin's wand is 12 inches long and is made of holly. Its core is made of dragon heartstring. It was crafted by Ollivander.

First Year
"Hmmm... Not a bad mind, no not at all.... Not brave enough to be a Gryffindor or pure enough to be a Slytherin, but you would be an excellent Ravenclaw or even a Hufflepuff. Hmmm... Better be... RAVENCLAW!"

For his first year, Austin arrived at Hogwarts from the Hogwarts Express and he was very happy when the Sorting Hat put him in Ravenclaw.

At his first Potions lesson under Horace Slughorn, he was deemed excellent at the

subject when he brew, quite by accident, the Love Potion Amortentia, which to him smells like freshly mown grass, cinnamon, and roses. From that day, Austin has been a member of the Slug Club.

Other subjects at which he had notable skill included Charms, Transfiguration, History of Magic, and, by extent, Herbology. Indeed, Professor Sprout took a liking of the boy and invited him and several gifted others on a

trip through the

Forbidden Forest. When he first entered the treeline of the forest, he saw a large clump of soil that looked like it had been churned up. When he asked Professor Sprout about this she said that it was where centaurs had marched to the rescue during the Battle of Hogwarts almost a decade ago. Interested, Austin examined the dirt closer, and saw a small, shiny object half buried. Pulling it out, he saw it was a golden ring, inset with a small, black stone. He put it into his pocket and, after examing several Bowtruckles with the rest of the students, he walked back to the castle and hid the ring in his chest in Ravenclaw Tower.

Several weeks later, Austin took a History of Magic extra credit essay on Dark Wizards. Sitting in his dormitory, reading Magick Moste Evile, Austin remembered the ring and got it out of the chest and held it in his palm. Studying about Grindelwald and Voldemort, he boredly flipped the ring in his hand, and is shocked when the ghosts of the two evil sorcerers appeared in front of him.

Needing to banish the spirits, Austin immediately ran to the Headmistress's office and showed it to McGonagall, who consulted theof

for help. Dumbledore told the two about the Resurrection Stone, and said that the only way to destroy the spirits of Voldemort and Grindelwald is to completely destroy the ring, but that such powerful peices of magic could not be destroyed except by whom they were made. With that, McGonagall flipped the ring thrice, and brought the spirit of Cadmus Peverell, who, rather than Death, Dumbledore believed to have created the ring. However, Cadmus repeated the Beedle the Bard story, assuring them Death created the thing himself. As they contemplated how to get out of the predicament, one wall of the office exploded, and the two evil wizards began to attack them, McGonagall pushed Austin out of the office, and he went into hiding, living in the dungeons with Professor Slughorn for weeks, as the teachers held off Voldemort and Grindelwald.

Finally, McGonagall sent him a talking Patronus, explaining that the spirits could be destroyed by love. Not knowing what to do, Slughorn told him to brew Amortentia, which Austin did, bottling it to use against the ghosts. Austin approached the two wizards, and splashed them with the liquid love, which weakened them considerably. The two villains dueled him, but Austin's experience in Charms helped him survive longer than most, only to be hit by a Killing Curse directed by the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Artemius Vercryusse, who confessed to have been searching the Forbideen Forest for the Resurrection Stone ring for decades after hearingdropped it before facing Voldemort nearly a decade before.

Meanwhile, Austin was in limbo between life and death briefly. While in a dead state, he was confronted by the embodiement of Death, whom he gave the Stone. Death destroyed the ring, having been wanting to get it back because he regretted ever making it, and, as a reward, Death sent Austin back to his life. Austin awoke and was attacked once more by Professor Vercryusse, but this time the evil professor was attacked by several other teachers and carted off to. Although Austin was offered the option of not having to take the end-of-term tests due to circumstance, he took themwillingly before going home at the end of the year.

Second Year
"Until the culprit behind the attack on my office is caught, it is likely the school will be closed."

- Minerva McGonagall adressing her students

Austin's started out badly when Headmistress McGonagall's office was vandalised, and Aurors were called in. The recently elected head of the Department,

was brought in, and soon became Austin's idol. Afterbeing introduced through

, Harry soon found out that Austin was much like his friend Hermione Weasley, head of the, and introduced the two.

Hermione gave him advice on career choices, and after discovering his aptitude for Potions and hearing of his defeat of Voldemort's ghost the year before, she suggested becoming a Potions expert at the Department of Mysteries.

Using her Ministry contacts, Hermione got Austin a stint as the apprentice to the Unspeakable Potions brewer, Ogg McKinnon, a job he could fulfill on weekends off from school. Around the same time, the culprit behind the office burnings was caught attempting to attack Austin while he slept. It was none other than Artemius Vercryusse, the same teacher who killed Austin the year before. Vercryusse had escaped from Azkaban, saying it was "easy as Pumpkin Pasties now that they stopped using dementors."

While Vercryusse was being interrogated, Austin asked Harry why the man kept trying to kill him, and Harry said vaguely that since he was persuing a career as an Unspeakable, he'd know soon enough. During Austin's first lesson under Ogg, the man refused to tell him anything about why Austin had been the victim of attempted murder, but after several lessons, the Unspeakable loosened up and told Austin of a prophecy, concerning a boy born on the 25 of May to Muggle parents, who would be the one that would bring about the end of the Wizarding world.

Terrified, Austin locked himself in his dorm after returning to Hogwarts and, stricken, refuses to eat for days, until slipped a Calming Draught by Madam Pomfrey and being taken to St Mungo's for bad mental health after being terrified by the fact he would destroy his world. While in the ward, Austin befriended fellow patient Elvira Thorton, a rather brainy witch who he had a bit of a crush on.

Elvira, a pureblood, had heard of the prophecy concerning him, and was willing to help him prevent it. After they were both released from the hospital and returned to Hogwarts, Austin was pleased to learn that Elvira was a fellow Ravenclaw, albeit one he had never properly met. When he arrived back at the castle, Austin was interviewed by Rita Skeeter about being the eventual destroyer of the Wizarding world. Seeing that he needed an escape, Harry Potter told the boy about the Room of Requirement, which Austin consented to use as his secret place from then on.

Sadly, Skeeter, in her beatle form discovered where he was going, and followed him there. However, Austin was shocked when a secret compartment swung open when she came near, and he discovered that a hidden tunnel behind it lead to thein Hogsmeade. He befriended the bartender,, and indeed became quite popular among the citizens of the purely wizard village. Shortly before returning home at the end of the year, Austin and Elvira read in the Daily Prophet about a group calling themselves the Neo-being formed.

Third Year
"They are coming! The end of the world as we know it approaches!"

- Kingsley Shacklebolt

Over the summer after before his, Austin had been coming to terms with his feelings for Elvira, and intended to tell her about them during the ride back to Hogwarts on the, but upon joining her in a compartment, he saw her snogging with Cormac Belby, which made him extremely jealous.

Returning to school, Austin was surprised to find that this year seemed to be going fairly normal, despite reports of the Neo-Death Eaters quickly gaining power. Taking advantage of the peace, Austin began to trying to find out what madeElvira fancy Belby, and discovered that it may have been because he was Beater on the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team. Deciding to mimic these actions, Austin signed up for the Ravenclaw team, also as a Beater. After taking numerous Bludger hits to the head, Austin was knocked, unconcious off his broom.

Waking up under the care of Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing, Austin found that Elvira had not left his bedside for weeks. At that moment, Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt burst into the room, shouting that the Neo-Death Eaters leader had brought in an army. Moments later, Yaxley attack Shacklebolt, Stunning him. Austin hopped from the bed, dragging Elvira with him and taking her to theas a hurried battle broke out.

Going through the passage to the Hog's Head, Austin warned Aberforth about them, and Abe rounded up an army of the store owners of Hogsmeade, including Madam Rosmerta and Ambrosius Flume. As Aberforth ran back to the castle, the now-alone couple heard him destroying the secret passage on his way, so that Death Eaters could not go from the castle and to the inn to attack them. As war broke out in the streets outside, Elivra and Austin both cast spells at ensuing ex-Azkaban cons from the upstairs window.

From outside, Flora Carrow, daughter of Amycus Carrow and Death Eater innitiate cast the Incendio spell at the pub, sending it to flames. As the two layed huddled inside, fearing for their lives, both confessed their love for the other and huddled up, aiming to die together, when he looked at her and was overcome with a very Gryffindor-like bravery, and he ran through the flames blocking the exit, ignoring the blisters that broke out on him, and he ran into the streets, petrifying numerous attackers and using the Aguamenti spell on the Hog's Head.

Checking that Elvira was safe, he ran to the, sending anto the, asking for. The Auror Department arrived promptly, and drove the attackers out, advising Austin to go into hiding, and to take Elvira with him: once that Death Eaters knew they were together, both would be in trouble.

Elvira suggested they stay with her aunt who raised her, as "no one in their right mind would mess with Auntie." She and Austin go to the aunt's house, where Elvira introduces her as "my dear auntie,." Not knowingofUmbridge's sticky past, Austin stays with her willingly, learning to trust her as a kindhearted old woman.

Elvira turned out to be correct, and the Death Eaters, serving under a newly-overturned, all feared Umbridge too much to cross her. Dolores brought Austin and Elvira to work everyday, and watch as she is appointed head of a rebuilt. Although Austin feared that his trust in her might have been misplaced, he frequently assured himself that she was serving the corruption against her will. However, upon accompanying Umbridge to a trial and having seen her use fierce punishments, both Elvira and Austin decide dto leave and start a rebellion.

While on the run, hiding in different protected areas each day, Austin gloomily noticed that his third year at Hogwarts would have ended already.

Fourth Year
"SEIZE HIM!"

- Kat directing the Death Eaters to get Austin

Despite the many defensive enchantments that he and Elvira put up around their hiding places each night, Austin was surprised to find that animals seemed unaffected by the shield charms and could go in and out of the encampments at will. For instance, his elderly cat, Miss Kitty, would leave the spot and return hours later, occasionally carrying a dead rat or bird in her mouth.

During their second week on the run, Elvira and Austin were staying on a small island just off of Scotland, and were surprised to recieve a letter from Minerva McGonagall, being brought by a large, tawny owl. The letter simply wished them the best of luck, and that their would be a spot waiting for them at Hogwarts if they ever got back.

They heard no more from the outside world for over a month, until their camp in the Forest of Dean was attacked by. Being dragged out of their hiding spot by a large, burly man, Austin saw among the collection of villains an elderly, grey-haired woman that he had never seen before. The other Death Eaters adressed her as "Kat."

Austin was then carted off to the prison of Azkaban, which had once again consented to using dementors. Elvira was sent to be punished by her aunt,, and Austin sat huddled in his cell for days, nearly starving to death, until he was visited by the old woman, Kat, who brought him dead rats to live off, which he ate willingly, knowing he would die otherwise. He asked her why she acted like this, sending him to prison one minute and helping him live the next, to which she replied mysteriously, "I owe you my life."

Kat henceforth visited frequently, and Austin eventually warmed up to her enough to ask how Elvira was, and was thrown into a seemingly endless depression at her response: "She's dead. Umbridge is not a kind woman."

Kat visited much more after that, and he asked her about her earlier comment, saying that she owed him her life, and Kat explained that she was born to two Animagi in their animal form;Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, both cats. As such, she was born in feline form, not powerful enough to turn into a witch. One night she wondered away from her parents, and was lost in a blizzard. It was then, she said, that he, Austin, found her, dying in the snow, and gave her the name "Miss Kitty."

Shocked to find out that Kat was the animal he had raised from youth, Austin understood why she was helping him, and asked why she had reported him to the Death Eaters. She continued her tale, saying that she often left the Muggle dwelling belonging to Austin's parents to wonder the world in her human form, and came to believe that her father, Dumbledore, had abandon her as a kitten. From that point, she decided to turn against her father and join the Death Eaters, and only recently discovered that her family leaving her was an accident.

Austin said that, because of all the suffering she had put him through, Kat must help him escape the prison, and she agreed.

The two attempted a large breakout, in which it was decided that they would use the bombarda spell to destroy the stone walls of Austin's top level cell, and that Austin would jump onto the back of one of the flying dementors, which were solid enough for him to grab onto, but light enough for him to drag it to the ground and land safely below. When Austin interjected how Kat would make it to the bottom, she replied, somewhat jokingly, that she would put to test the theory that "cats always land on their feet."

The plan went accordingly, with Austin making it to the island below, from which he could Apparate, but when Kat, in her Animagus form of Miss Kitty, jumped from the top of the prison, she landed onto the island below, the force of which killed her. Putting his Ravenclaw logic to the test, Austin realized that this had been Kat's plan all along, for the dementors were distracted, swooping around her dead cat body, curious at what it was. However, he refused to let his savior die in vain, and cast his first corporeal Patronus (a house-cat in the exact shape form of Kat) at the swarm of soul-suckers, scattering them. He grabbed the damaged body and Apparated away to Dolores Umbridge's house, with the sole intent of killing the woman who had, from Kat's report, murdered Elvira.

Firstly creating a magical grave in which he buried Kat, Austin blasted away the door of Umbridge's home, and walked in, seeing her sipping tea in an armchair. In blinding rage at seeing the woman, he hated, Austin twice used the Cruciatus Curse on her, preparing to kill her, when he noticed, with an awful jolt, that her eyes were the exact same as Elvira's.

Taking advantage of his weakness, Umbridge turned the torture curse back on him, until she was hit by a Petrificus Totalus, directed from none other than Elivra Thorton, the very girl he believed to have been killed, who suddenly bursted out of the back room of Umbridge's house.

Having said he thought her to be dead, Elvira explained that Umbridge had created a fake report of her death, and adding that "Auntie isn't completely bad."

Days later, amidst the confusion of both a breakout from Azkaban and a Ministry official nearly being killed, reports flooded in that the Third Order of the Phoenix had toppled over the Death Eater's corrupt government, and Austin and Elvira returned to Hogwarts just in time to end their fourth year.

Fifth Year
"Austin Worthington, you're time has come. Avada Kedavra!"

Although he had not attended his fourth year, Austin passed the end-of-term tests and was allowed to move on to O.W.L. level. He learned his studies as he normally would, and, while taking his Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations, passed every subject with an O. He was also made a prefect.

While returning home on the Hogwarts Express, the train was put under attack by the Dark wizard, Justin Elswick, who plotted to kill all the Mudbloods and topple the Wizarding world, so that he could, along with all the other pure-bloods, rule the Muggles as their superior magical overlords. He killed all the Muggle-borns on the train, excluding Austin, who he believed would be able to help him topple the Wizarding world due to the prophecy concerning him, and recruited several purebloods and even Half-Bloods for his order. He came to recruit Austin, and after the latter refused he attempted to kill him, but, after a violent duel, Austin cast a spell that knocked Justin out of the train.

They then went to London, where they reported the attack to the Ministry of Magic, which sent out wanted posters hoping to bring the Dark wizard to justice and declared the beginning of the Third Wizarding War.

Sixth Year
"How is it you, a scrawny Mud... Muggle-born of no extraordinary talent could have better magic than me, the last member of the oldest pureblood family in history!"

- Elvira

After returning for his penultimate year at Hgowarts, Austin finds that Elvira refused to speak to him, because of jealousy that a Muggle-born could have defeated Justin Elswick when she failed to. Although she had shown no pureblood supremacy beforehand, he began to see a different side of her, and learns more about her family, the Noble and Most Ancient House of Thorton, which was known to be even more ruthless than the House of Black.

At the end of the year, somewhat reluctantly, Austin was inclined to think, they resumed their romantic relationship.

Seventh Year
Austin arrived for his seventh year in a reconstructed relationship with Elvira, and he later recounted the year as one of the best in his life, as he became Head Boy and passed his Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Examinations with several passing grades.

Marriage
Shortly after leaving Hogwarts, Austin Worthington and Elvira Thorton were married, even though she continued to have outbursts of prejudice toward him from what had been a very severe childhood. They moved into Thorton Manor, her family house, and did there best to ignore the screaming portraits of her ancestors, which shrieked their displeasure at her choice of spouse.

Career at Hogwarts
Months after his marriage, Austin began his career at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as professor of Potions under Minerva McGonagall, and for that reason became the teacher of such famous names as James Sirius and Albus Severus Potter, which, unfortuanately, made him cross paths with Justin Elswick, who had launced attacks on the Knight Bus and the Ministry of Magic, yet again.

Justin came to the school looking for his nemises, and dueled Austin once again. Unfortunately, Elvira Worthington, who had been on her way to recovery from her newly found feircesome attitude toward Mudbloods through extensive therapy, was asked to join his order, which she did out of fear. Shortly afterward, she was ambushed by a group of Aurors, including Ronald Weasley, and was Stunned by Ginny Potter. She, along with Justin, was taken to Azkaban Prison.

Under the influence of the sanity-sucking dementors, Elvira was driven to near insanity, and turned even worse on her course to the Dark side of magic. Justin, however, took the opposite course and renounced his old ways, and was released for good behavior, going to live at the Burrow with Molly and Arthur Weasley, Elvira escaped the prison, but was kept safe by Austin, her always helpful and somewhat pushover husband.

Fatherhood
By January 2004, after a few years of extensive therapy and other treatments, Elvira's prejudice had completely vanished, and, two months afterward, she announced a pregnancy, and, in August of that year, she gave birth to a baby daughter, named Aramenta Amanda Worthington, a combination of the names of both of her parents' mothers. The couple rather spoiled their child, and Austin in particular was known to give into some of her demands, although he fathered her strict enough so that she was not particularly ill-behaved when she began her education at a Muggle school at age five, which they planned for her to attend until she recieved her letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, no letter was ever recieved, and when they had Aramenta checked by St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, it was concluded that she was a Squib. Although her parents still loved her, both, Elvira especially, were greatly depressed by this discovery; not because they considered Squibs to be inferior, but because it greatly limited the activities she could enjoy with them, and the careers she would be able to recieve in the magical world, which they so wanted her to be a part of.

Physical Description
Austin is dark-haired and pale, often stooping to keep himself from standing out or being noticed. He goes out of his way to make himself seem insignificant and unoutstanding, which results in much surprise to others when he reveals his great intellect and exceptional dueling skills.

Parents
Austin's parents divorced when he was six, and he had since been raised by his mother. He had a typical relationship with them both, often arguing with them, although he did love them very much and was terrified at the thought that the Death Eaters would harm them.

Rubeus Hagrid
Although he was somewhat afraid of the half-giant, there can be no doubt that Austin considered Rubeus Hagrid a trustworthy friend, as well as his main link to the Wizarding world. Despite his liking of Hagrid, Austin did not take his class, Care of Magical Creatures, due to fear of some of the fierce beasts, as well as having heard rather uncomplementary reports of his classes. His disliking of the subject, however, did not seem to put any sort of strain on their friendship.

Horace Slughorn
"Well, Worthington, what have you brewed for me? Hmmm. Oh my! This is Amortentia, and perfect too! That's a N.E.W.T. level potion! This deserves an Outstanding!"

Horace Slughorn was starstruck by Austin's Potion-brewing abilities, saying that he reminded him of two of his favorite students, Lily Evans, and her son Harry Potter. Austin joined the Slug Club in his first year.

Elvira Thorton
There can be no doubt that Austin was deeply in with Elvira. She was one of his first and best friends, as well as the only one he took with him when he went on the run. During his third year he slowly discovered that Elvira had the same feelings for him, although his faith in her wavered when he discovered she came from an evil family, including such notable tyrants as Dolores Umbridge.

When he was fourteen and imprisoned unfairly in Azkaban, he heard a false report of her murder by Umbridge, and for that reason escaped the prison and, in order to avenge her, used the Cruciatus Curse on Umbridge, only to be stopped by Elvira, who had been faking her death.

Dolores Umbridge
Austin first met Dolores Umbridge, Elvira's great aunt by whom she was raised, when he was thirteen. At first he learned to trust her as a kindhearted and polite woman who worked keeping peace at the Ministry of Magic. He went with her frequently to watch her carry out laws, as well as keep training for his own career as an Unspeakable. His idea of her changed within a month or two, however, when he saw her carry out ferocious punishments on "Mudbloods" as part of her career. After he ran away from Umbridge and went on the run with Elvira, she lost her kind demeanor and spent many months trying to capture and punish them. She eventually forgive her neice, going so far as to fake Elvira's death to protect her, but was horrible enough towards Austin to use the Torture Curse on him.
