History
Linus was born on August 20, 1998 to Audrey Hughes, who was only 19 at the time. His biological father is a muggle, and they had been broken up at the time Audrey discovered she was pregnant. Since he was a muggle, she felt like introducing him to the magical world at such a tumultuous time would do more harm than good, so she has raised Linus with the help of her parents. Like his uncle Flynn, Linus did not inherit his mother’s veela charm. He largely takes after his muggle father in looks, though his coloring is closer to his mum’s.
For the first few years of his life, he lived in the house his mother grew up in, with his grandparents, his mom, and all their plants. When he was five years old, his mom was finally able to afford a nice little cottage in Hogsmeade, close to the photography studio that she worked at. He was anxious and eager to go to Hogwarts, but he had to wait for the inevitable letter to arrive the summer he turned 11. Waiting was torment, with Hogwarts just right there. In the meantime, he visited relatives, helped his grandpa Ianto with the plants, and listened to his grandma Zena tell family stories. Although his mum and grandmother are exceptionally beautiful with Veela charm, to him they look like regular people. Growing up around them, and being part veela himself, has made him a little bit oblivious to the charm in others, though he can sometimes detect it.
His relationship with his mother is mostly positive—she is prone to being stressed out and has quite the temper, though she doesn’t take it out on her son. Linus tries to defuse her anger with humor, and it almost always works. When it doesn’t, he at least is able to get a smile out of her.
Excited didn’t even begin to cover how Linus felt when he finally received his letter to Hogwarts. It was a great way to meet people! Lots of folks had lifelong relationships with the friends they made during Hogwarts! He wasn’t sure which house he’d be in, all of them seemed nice enough. Most Hughes were Gryffindors, but his uncle Flynn and his mother were the exception.
It seemed though, that Linus was not the exception. The hat had barely touched his ears when it announced his placement into Gryffindor.
So far, he is enjoying Hogwarts. He’s experienced his very first detention! He’s met all these awesome people, though he often feels small when the upperclassmen are around. So far, he feels like he does well in Herbology, but he enjoys his other classes too. In flying, he felt a bit clumsy but did well enough after crashing a few times. His grades aren’t anything extraordinary, but he’s passing.
