History

Ignatius Prewett V was born in Westbury on 1990-04-21 to Ignatius Prewett IV and Ursula Crouch, two members of old wealthy pure-blood families. Iggy grew up in a family that encouraged him to seek out his follow his own interests, and despite their proud pure-blood status continued to encourage him when his interests were not strictly magical in nature. He started drum lessons when he was seven, mostly as a way for his parents to keep him occupied while they were at work, since despite his pleading, he was not allowed to attend a muggle primary school. His other interests dealt mostly with the mundane world of the muggles. Iggy was fascinated with muggles and how everything functioned without magic.

When he was finally able to go to Hogwarts he managed to convince his parents to send him enough parts of his drum kit to keep in practice, which did not go over well with his Gryffindor dorm mates. It was a fun hobby that gave him an excuse to put off homework when he felt more like practicing than writing a long explanation about this herb or that hex. When it came time to pick elective courses he jumped at the chance to take muggle studies. The class quickly became one of his favorite, not to mention best, classes.

When it came time for O.W.L.s he managed to get an outstanding only in Muggle Studies, and a handful of others. He considered dropping out and going into Muggle Relations at that point since all they wanted was an O.W.L. in muggle studies but his parents convinced him to stay for two more years, try for a N.E.W.T. in muggle studies and the couple other classes he qualified for and they would help introduce him to the right people at the Ministry to get him into a slightly less entry level job. Something they explained to him could only happen if he stayed through his seventh year at Hogwarts.

It ended up being a great decision for Iggy to stay as in his sixth year Magnolia Nettlebottom's band, Nola and the Knockturnals. It finally gave him an outlet for the years he had been playing drums, and something to help pass the time for his last two years at Hogwarts. He was good and while he had fun in the band it wasn't his dream to be a musician, he still planned on joining the Ministry after graduation.

It wasn't even a full month after leaving Hogwarts that he was bitten by a werewolf on the full moon. His family was supportive, helping him through the healing process, building a secure room for him to transform in. They even tried to use their connections to get Iggy the job in Muggle Relations that he had wanted for years but while it was never said outright that he couldn't work there, it was hinted that werewolves couldn't be trusted to work with muggles and the position he had spent two extra years at Hogwarts to get disappeared after his first full moon and transformation.

It wasn't long after that he came back to Magnolia and asked if she still needed a drummer. It wasn't his dream but it was at least fun, and given what he knew about Magnolia she wouldn't be too concerned with the werewolf thing. Iggy explained to her upfront that he was a werewolf and given the circumstances it was obvious that the band wasn't his first choice, but she still let him back in. Her only concern being the difficulty scheduling gigs around the full moon. The time since has seen him become more comfortable with being a musician, and seen him become an even better drummer.
