Ethan James Gifford belongs to a long line of purebloods. This said…his family can't be tracked that many years back as the old existing pureblood lines. He was born on June 16, 2011. His father James Gifford and his mother Carla Gifford are the ones in charge of 'Gifford's Potions and Beyond' This is a small store that only works by mail delivery. It is said that in the old old days, the family had a place in Knockturn Alley but it was shut down during the times of Gellert Grindelwald.
His family also taught Ethan to push himself to reach his goals, and that his goals should be his, and that he shouldn't follow his parents steps if he didn't want to. This type of development did work for him, because it created a good relationship with them and also made him realize that he liked one thing…knowledge.
The curious mind of a child can do wonders when it comes to building a list of true interests. And the fact that Ethan didn't do much to socialize with other kids, he gained a wide range of interests. Since little, he has been doing research on his own about all the things he likes, and the fact that the family has it's own lab works amazingly for him.
When he started his first year at Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat debated for a couple moments. See, the Sorting Hat was debating between Slytherin and Ravenclaw, finally, Slytherin was the answer and the kid was sorted into this house. The fact of having the Hogwarts Library at hand was really good for him, and now with a wand, he was able to do a couple more things.
He is not much into sports, so he never even tried to join the Quidditch team, however, he is not an entire bookworm, he does a lot of running across the Hogwarts fields. He is also a member of the Duelling Club, and quite a good one at that.
Now, on this year, he is getting ready for his OWL's, his interests have grown and they cover stuff like Potions, Runes, DADA, Transfigurations, Charms, Divinations, Arithmancy, and so on…yep, he is pretty much always reading a book and taking notes.
