--------------------------------------------------

Name: Jonathan Edward Partridge
Age | B-day: 33, 4 January 1977
House | Year: Graduate of Ravenclaw 1995
Bloodline: Pureblood
Position: Member of the Order of the Phoenix
Side: OotP
Occupation: Fugitive
Wand: 11 1/2'' Willow, Leprechaun Hair (He is half-Irish)

Hair: Dark brown/black, slightly curly, hangs just above his shoulders
Eyes: Hazel/Grey
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 166 lbs.
Markings: scar on his left forearm from a nasty scrape he got in a duel, and a few scars on his right ankle from when he was a kid and was always running around the rocky shorelines with his friends.

--------------------------------------------------

Phobia: Deep waters tend to creep him out the most. When he was a kid, his best friend's brother drowned when out on the surf.
Habit: An avid reader and top-marked scholar, Jonathan has a habit of referencing past events or historical notes he may have read about in accordance to something happening to him or around him at the time. When nervous, he has an annoying habit of constantly adjusting his clothing (like a coat, shirt collar, buttons, etc).
Pet Peeve: Constant nagging tends to set him off pretty badly, and is something he blames on the incessant nagging about his bloodline and why he wasn't sorted into the proper house whilst at Hogwarts. Also, talking improperly or out of place is another thing that might get him. He understands if one speaks English as a second language, but considering the fact that he's grown up in two countries where the language is prominent and a lot of kids (and often adults) tend to use slang or sloppy English really irritates him.

Personality: A very humble, and quiet man, Jonathan usually keeps to himself. Around friends he can joke around and loosen up a bit, but he is generally subdued and a known introvert. Equipped with the skill to read through books quickly, he often submerges himself in a good read for relaxation. He is a proper gentleman, a true scholar with high marks on all of his reports and has somewhat of a photographic memory.

A couple of his downfalls are his cynicism and pessimism. Due to his smarts, Jonathan can be harshly critical at times where a cushion of remorse is actually needed. He tends to state things ‘as is’, refusing to admit that he can be dense when someone’s feelings are to be considered. Also, when the going gets tough, he tends to state things that would more than likely make an optimist cry. He notices all of the negativity and channels all of his energy in making sure everyone else can see his side, which is usually the right side.

Generally, Jonathan is a very kind man. Once his outer shell, his protective casing that is quite thick and almost indestructible, one can find his true personality: Kind, generous, caring and passionate. He cares very much for his family, especially his baby sister, who he calls his best friend. His passion lies in books, though, and is trying to take down all of his knowledge into a book, to hopefully share it with everybody in the future.

History:
Jonathan was born to newlywed Irene and Mark Partridge, in Sydney, Australia. It was only a year later when Jon's baby sister, Vivian, was born to their humble family. the two grew up to be the best friend pairing of siblings, and got along quite well. They made friends with the neighborhood children and loved playing on the beach while the older kids went surfing. When he reached the age of seven, Jonathan witnessed a horrible death. His friend's older brother, Tyson, died at sea, when he was attacked by a shark on his surfboard. Traumatized, and simply stunned by this, Jonathan has kept his distance from deep waters ever since. By the time Jon turned 10, Mark had just been laid off from the job he'd taken in the muggle world. For weeks after he tried to search for a new job to support his family, with no luck. After much strife and struggle, Mark and Irene decided to move back to Irene's homeland of England.

His parents preferred life in Europe, since Irene's family was local, and the paternal grandparents lived in neighbor Ireland. His family was well known about the muggle and wizarding worlds and this place was something strange, wonderful and new to get used to. Both of the kids loved it. Magic came natural to them, and for this, their parents were pleased.

The timing of their move couldn't have been any closer to perfect. Jonathan, right on schedule, received his invitation to Hogwarts. He was sorted into the underestimated class of Ravenclaw. In the blink of an eye, his first year went by and his sister had joined the ranks at Hogwarts, sorted into the Gryffindor class. He found it quite strange that family would come from different houses, but he didn't mind it. At least she was there. School was a cinch. He studied most of the time so his grades were floating way above average. He got along quite well with the teachers, made some great friendships with the boys, and most of all, had a way with the ladies. There was one girl, however, who caught his full attention every time she walked by. Her name was Drusilla Windsor, and she was a Slytherin.

Now his parents had warned him about the Slytherin House, and the likes of them, but he refused to listen. Even with all of the drama Lord Voldemort was putting on the school itself, gathering the Death Eaters, separating the 'good' families from the 'evil' ones, he didn't listen. Once the dust settled, and he graduated from Hogwarts, Jonathan sought out to court this Windsor girl. She was a class behind him, so it was tough to see her when school was in session, but he visited often and eventually got a chance to date her, when she accepted him as her guest to the Yule Ball.

They kept their relationship quiet and after they dated for a few years, the couple was married and that was their grand reveal to the public. Drusilla had told him it was because she loved him and it was a thrill to keep things a secret, but he was tired of holding up a facade. His friends were happy for him, but hers were not. Keeping up appearances was the name of the game for most of the Slytherin House, and he knew that old habits could not be set aside. They had been taught prejudice from the second they were born, and furthermore once the Sorting Hat made its decision. This could only mean that the fate of these lovers was only going to go downhill from here. Drusilla's family spurned him for being a Pureblood and refusing to join the ranks of the Death Eaters, and even moreso when they found out he supported the opposing force. Fights turned to arguments, arguments turned to divorce, and the two were further separated onto different sides of the battlefield.

When Derrin White and the Death Eaters attacked the school, he, like most of those seeking the light above the dark, had vanished. He was outlawed by the Death Eaters and eventually had a bounty put on his head because of his affiliation with the Order of the Phoenix. For two years he has been in hiding down under, making sure his mother and father are safe and secure in their old home in Australia. It wasn't until recently, when he heard about the disappearance of Damien, that he decided to return and take his place alongside the shattered Order to fight against the darkness once again.
