Bertie is a 31 year old Auror. He is outgoing, friendly, stubborn, determined, and reckless. He is a hopeless romantic who enjoys knitting and collecting teapots in his spare time. Like most members of the Hughes family, he is very family oriented and loves organizing family get-togethers and chatting with the extended Hughes and Peppers, even when it isn't a holiday.
History
Adelebert and Gertrude Hughes were born on October 20, 1978 in London to Rhiannon and Tobias Hughes. Bertie and Gertie were often dressed in matching outfits, and this trend continued up until they were sent to Hogwarts. A third brother, Alfred (Alfie), was brought into the world two years later. The three siblings grew up around their cousins, Audrey and Flynn. The five of them remained close all throughout school, despite the fact that Audrey was placed into Slytherin and Flynn into Ravenclaw (that must have come from their veela mother! Hughes were never anything but Gryffindors!)
Bertie loved being a Gryffindor. He felt like the house was perfect! It was full of people who thought like him! Who were reckless like him! Who were ridiculously loyal and honorable like him! Throughout school, he was somewhat of a class clown. His grades had been very average except for the few topics he was interested in. He had difficulties with reading and writing, and often times he had to memorize papers or pages from the text in order to do well. This trait still carries over into adulthood. He was very skilled at Transfiguration. By the time he was a fourth year, he decided he wanted to be the next Mad Eye Moody. He wanted to be a famous auror!
When he signed up for OWLS, he inquired about the general requirements for an Auror. He received his NEWTS in Potions, DADA, Transfiguration, Herbology, and Charms. He barely received E’s in every subject except for Transfiguration—where he got an O.
After Hogwarts, he went through training to be an auror. Although the training for most was supposed to be for three years, it took Bertie five years to become an auror, at the age of 23. The training was difficult and strenuous, and his stubbornness and persistence was the only reason he was able to push through the training and succeed.
After he had become an auror, his parents went through a divorce. Even though he no longer lived with his parents, it was difficult for him to accept. In his mind, they were going to be together forever, like what happened in romance stories! However, his parents are still very friendly and are on good terms. Rhiannon still shows up to family events on occasion. His father now owns a bakery with his partner. It took Bertie awhile to accept his father's boyfriend, but now he can't imagine his life without him there as a supportive figure.
He has spent his days working, knitting, and meeting potential life partners. He has dated his fair share of women, and has been the dumpee rather than the dumper in most of these relationships. His life has been enjoyable and relaxing so far, but he feels disappointed and lacking in the romance department. He doesn’t feel like he is too behind, as none of the cousins in his generation have started a family yet. Adelebert is currently trying to advance in his career, and is determined to improve. He may not advance anytime soon, but that has not discouraged him.
