Name: Riley Jonathan Greyson
Nicknames: Riles, Rye (Dante ONLY!)
Age: 17
Year: 7th
House: Admin Decides
History: Riley Jonathan Greyson was born on February 14, 2087 to Allan and Michelle Greyson. Growing up as the only child in a wealthy family, Riley always got what he wanted, but he wasn't spoiled. Unlike most kids from rich families, Riley's parents didn't just hand everything over to him on a silver platter, they made him work for it. And all that hard work, made the rewards even sweeter.
Although Riley's parents doted on their only child, they were also very strict with him. He was expected to get top marks in school, mind his manners, and of course to never talk back to his elders. Also, to keep Riley grounded they made him do the chores instead of having house elves. And he is not allowed to use magic to do them. They do have a few house elves for cooking but that's about it. Riley's parents also do chores. When they are not at work of course. Michelle is in charge of laundry, and Allan does the yard work.
Also, instead of his parents just handing over a wad of cash whenever he asks for it, they instead give him an allowance every other week. The amount changes based on his behavior and efforts for that week. However strict his parents may be though, they also know when to cut him some slack and just let him be a kid. The family is always going on outings together. Camping, horseback riding, Quidditch Games, pretty much anything a family can do together.
Riley entered Hogwarts as a first year and for the first two years kept mostly to himself. Third year however, he made friends with a first year Ravenclaw named Dante Nikolas as the years passed, the two grew closer and closer. Dante was the first person that Riley came out of the closet to and the two have always supported eachother.
Now, as Riley's 7th year approaches and Dante's fifth, Riley is beginning to realise that his feelings for Dante may be more than just friendship. He knows that Dante is bi, but he also knows that he tends to mess around a bit. Still, Riley can't help but start to fall for his closest friend. He only hopes that he doesn't completely screw it up and ruin their friendship forever. Riley would rather have Dante as just a friend, than to have the other boy hate him. But still, he knows he has to try. After all, it is better to have loved and lost, then to not have loved at all. That's what Riley believes anyway.
Personality: Although Riley seems to have characteristics of all the Houses, Ravenclaw intelligence, Slytherin cunning, Hufflepuff loyalty, it is his Gryffindor bravery that really stands out. Riley is always up for some outrageous adventure, and never backs down from a dare. He is also quite the jokester, pulling pranks whenever he gets a chance. His most common victim? Dante, of course!
However, unlike his Ravenclaw friend, Riley knows when playtime is over and it's time to get back to work. It still amazes him that Dante can be in Ravenclaw, and yet Riley gets higher marks than him! Of course that's probably due to his strict, no-nonsense parents.
Riley is a fiercely loyal friend and will not let anyone speak ill of those he cares about. And Merlin help the poor soul that does! Riley does not however, like to pick fights. He prefers instead to try and talk it through with the other person, without the use of violence. When provoked however, he can fight like the devil.
Riley's cunning has come in handy more times than he cares to count! He's used it to get out of trouble, to get his way, and yes, to place the blame on someone else.. hey, don't we all do that once in awhile?
Although Riley has traits of all the Houses, it is his Gryffindor qualities that make him who he is.
