Kelvin is a Seventh Year Ravenclaw. The youngest child of Miranda Bagnold, a pure-blood witch, and Carl Watkins, a muggle; two historians who fostered a love of history in Kelvin. He has one older brother, Patrick.
History
Born in Cambridge in 1995, Kelvin is the second child of Carl Watkins, a muggle, and his pure-blood wife Miranda Bagnold. Miranda was from the old pure-blood family the Bagnold’s, granddaughter of the former Minister of Magic Millicent Bagnold. Miranda caused quite a scandal, even in the anti-purist Bagnold family, when while unofficially studying ancient and medieval muggle history at Cambridge--ever the Ravenclaw in search of knowledge--fell in love and eventually married Carl Watkins, a muggle whose life work was the study of the belief in the supernatural during the middle ages. She managed to keep the knowledge that she was a witch from her husband until her first son, Patrick got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts in 1996, a year after Kelvin was born.
Kelvin only knows of the fights between his parents during this time from the stories his older brother shared with him. At the end of 1996, as conditions in the the wizarding community in Britain deteriorated, Miranda sent her husband and youngest son to America, where Carl taught at Harvard until Miranda came and brought them back after end of the Second Wizarding War in 1998.
A vivacious child, Kelvin drove his scholarly parents crazy at times, though they quickly realized that their youngest son had a great interest in everything around him, and started his informal education at an early age. They managed to channel much of his energy into learning, something his brother had only been tangentially interested in, and by the time he received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Kelvin would have said he could have taught his father’s undergraduate class at Cambridge and History of Magic at Hogwarts.
His first three years at Hogwarts, Kelvin excelled in History of Magic, which made both his father and mother incredibly happy, and Transfiguration. Doing well in all of his other subjects, except for Potions which, either due to lack of interest or lack of ability, he only barely managed to pass each year. Something his brother during his brief visits during the summer, never forgets to mention at least ten times during dinners. Kelvin has a great relationship with his paternal grandparents, but hardly sees his family on his mother’s side, as Miranda still has not totally forgiven her family who had shunned her, despite their anti-purist views, until Patrick had been born and they all of a sudden wanted to be a part of their lives again.
After coming home from Hogwarts after his third year, Kelvin informed his parents that he liked boys not girls; a declaration that led to his father hugging him and accepting him immediately and caused awkward dinners where his mother did not speak to him for weeks. He is hoping for a moment to tell his brother, who knows something is wrong by the chill at family dinners when he visits.
