Being an only child, with both parents working for the Ministry of Magic, life was interesting. His father was an Auror, and his mother went her time working for the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was there that Lucian first found his love for all animals, especially the magical sort. He was surrounded by magic from a young age, and spoiled by his mother to boot. His father had always been the more stern one, his mother a free spirit that often made decisions on a whim. They complimented each other well. Lucian started flying as a child, his big backyard being his own makeshift pitch as he taught himself how to play Quidditch in his spare time. At night he'd pour through all the books on magic that his family owned, even managing to find the ones his mother his from him due to their advanced or dark natures. His parents were never ones to condone dark magic, and they taught him early the price it would cost to perform such magic. But since his father was an Auror, he had a few books lying around. When he turned ten, he began counting the days down until he would receive his letter. Going to Hogwarts had been on the forefront of his kind since a young age, eager to learn more than the meager library at home and soak up all the knowledge he could. He felt for sure he'd be a Ravenclaw like his mother(his father had been a Gryffindor), and he certainly hoped he was right. Finally, the letter came, and Lucian couldn't stop smiling. [color=powderblue][i]Hogwarts Days:[/i][/color] The first train ride to Hogwarts had been a lonely one, as Lucian was usually such a quiet, contemplative boy, he ended up spending the ride alone in his own compartment. He didn't mind too much though, gorging himself on magical sweets and reading his new textbooks on the train to pass the time. He was in awe as to the magic he would be learning that year, and longed for the start of classes. He'd been sorted into Ravenclaw just as he'd hoped, a quite quick selection made by the Sorting Hat as Julian's thirst for knowledge made itself quite apparent. Throughout his years at Hogwarts, he soared academically, learning things quickly and always acing his tests with flying colors. He soaked up everything he read, completely enthralled with everything to do with the magical world. It seemed strange to some people, that a pureblood so used to magic would still be so eager to learn everything about it her could. But that was why he fit into Ravenclaw so well. He still didn't have many friends though, spending his free time torn between the Forbidden Forest where he'd feed the creatures inside and spend time with the more friendly ones, the Quidditch Pitch(he played Chaser for the House team), and the library. He was well liked of course, always up for conversation if someone wanted to chat. But he wasn't big in initiating social interactions, or any good at it. He was polite though, and well mannered, which made him well-liked. When he'd gotten his OWLS back, and gotten exceeds expectations on all of them except Ancient Runes, Lucian couldn't think of what he wanted to do career wise. The only thing that made any sense was coming back to Hogwarts to teach. He couldn't think of a better place to learn and be around knowledge while encouraging young minds at the same time. [color=powderblue][i]Post Hogwarts:[/i][/color] After leaving Hogwarts, Lucian decided to take a few years before settling down to travel all over and study exotic magical creatures. He traveled all over Europe, recording information and gathering as much knowledge as he could. When he wasn't studying magical creatures, he was pouring over other magical knowledge he'd yet to learn. He knew what post he wanted, when he finally went back to apply for a position, but still his thirst for knowledge was never truly quenched. So when the new headmaster had asked him out of the blue to come teach Care of Magical Creatures, Lucian saw it as a sign of fate. It was the exact position he'd hoped for, and he was going to be getting his own office up near the Astronomy Tower. Though, he'd probably be hosting most of his classes outside.

His name had been Stormwing due to his slate gray color. Needless to say, that ride over the the castle and the Black Lake had been his favorite memory at the school to date. [/center][/hider]
