[b]Biography[/b]: 
[color=FFD700][b][i]Pre-Hogwarts[/i][/b][/color]
Born on Tuesday 18th August 1992, Noah had a stable childhood despite growing up during the Second Wizarding War. His parents, Neil and Jane Cooper both worked together for the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes at the British Ministry of Magic, the former a member of the Invisibility Task Force, the latter an Obliviator. Frequently working together around the country, the couple enjoyed extensive travel before settling down in South London to start a family. 
Family life with baby Noah was bliss until the events of June 1996 when the couple, newly pregnant, realized that their children were in danger through their proximity to the Ministry. Now both highly revered in their respective departments, the couple successfully applied for sabbaticals at the Federal Bureau of Covert Vigilance and No-Maj Obliviation at the MACUSA headquarters in New York. During the Second Wizarding War, the couple repeatedly returned to the UK in order to support the Ministry, comforted in the knowledge that their children were safe in the US.
The couple returned to their Balham home in 1999 and (using their American experience) assisted in the restructuring of their departments during Kingsley Shacklebolt’s term in office. Noah continued to learn about the magical world from his parents until he received his Hogwarts letter in early August 2003.

2003-04 - Sorted into Hufflepuff, Noah remained a bookish child but intensely hardworking, discovering a natural aptitude for transfiguration, an interest in DADA, a love for Herbology and a particular fear of flying.

2004-05 - His second year continued in the same vein as the first, with Noah cementing some strong friendships, demolishing any extended reading list and refusing to try out for Quidditch despite his father’s urging.

2005-06 - Forbidden from taking Divination by his parents, Noah elected to study Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies in his third year. He also developed a keen interest in Animagi.

2007-07 - His studies continued with him excelling at switching spells and spending Christmas that year in New York.

2007-08 - His uncovered skill at learning vanishing spells in his fifth year would eventually lead to his future career, but at the time warranted his promotion to Hufflepuff prefect.

2008-09 - With a clear view to joining his parents at the Ministry Noah elected to take: Arithmancy, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology & Transfiguration. He swiftly dropped Advanced Arithmancy Studies and was upset that not enough of his peers were sufficiently interested to run an Alchemy course. He successfully gained his apparition licence. 

2009-10 - Studying hard for his N.E.W.T.s meant that Noah didn’t really make the most of the social side of his final year, with all his spare time taken up with his study in the library, prefect duties and practical work in the greenhouses.

2010-12
After graduation, his mother quickly secured him a clerical position in the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, where he remained for a couple of years with only small promotions but learning the intricacies of the Ministry’s inner workings. His well-honed ability for Untransfigurations and Vanishings was only truly noticed after he dealt with a particularly strong Pullus jinx accidentally cast in a corridor, swiftly transforming all the poultry back into their original objects and sweeping the hallway clear of droppings and downy feathers in seconds. His school record was quickly pulled and the connection to his parents was made. The next day they were intensely proud as their son was swiftly promoted onto the squad proper. 

2012-16
Noah spent the next few years travelling the UK, and Europe when needed, reversing accidental magic, specializing in Untransfigurations. In 2014, when his sister Ellen graduated Hogwarts to become a herbologist, Noah was asked to start writing a more in-depth field guide for Untransfigurations in the field, with the purpose of sharing knowledge amongst wizarding authorities with increasing muggle populations. 

2016-18
His research and practice lead to a trip of Europe and then a secondment to MACUSA’s Federal Bureau of Covert Vigilance and No-Maj Obliviation, in the footsteps of his parents. 

2019
The Calamity occurring led the Ministry to recall Noah from the USA to help with the cover-up of the ever-increasing number of Foundables and Confoundables, and to be an information liaison with MACUSA regarding Untransfigurating Confoundables. His systems and processes were all set up and in place when he received his second letter summoning him to Hogwarts. He was initially wary, not prepared to give up his career. But realizing it was an opportunity that no one would dare pass up he has accepted, glad to still be able to continue his writing and research. 

[b]Favorite Hogwarts Memory[/b]:
“Oh gosh. Erm… Oh wait I’ve got it. Definitely Christmas of my sixth year. Mom and Dad were in New York visiting friends and took Ellen, but I wanted to stay at Hogwarts because I’d gone with them the year before. It turned out that a few of the other prefects were staying as well so… We got lots of booze in from Hogsmede and had a huge pool party in the prefects’ bathroom, inviting loads of our mates. The one and only time I broke the school rules intentionally. I’d had a couple of late library books. And also my first real kiss. I wonder if Ellis Ackroyd remembers that or whether he was too drunk…?”[/INDENT]
