The Revolution Has Begun
"There's no need to call me sir Professor."
FULL NAME:Isaac Matthew Black
NICKNAMES:Ize (pronounced like eyes) and sometimes Zak which he doesn't particularly like so generally sticks with Isaac.
AGE:16
BIRTHDAY:15th December
SEXUALIY:Heterosexual
BLOODLINE:Pure
HOUSE:Gryffindor
YEAR:Fifth year
JOB: N/A
SIDE: Order
SPECIES/SPECIAL ABILITIES: Although he's unregistered he has the animagus form of a border collie. He hasn't mastered the ability to transform at will yet and sometimes when he's on his own he transforms for a few seconds but doesn't know what he's doing. His father once caught him transforming but has never mentioned it, so Isaac doesn't know.
CANON:
"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Isaac has gained a reasonably athletic build from years of playing quidditch for his house. He’s an average height of about 5ft7” although he can’t be sure because he hasn’t let his Mother measure him against the kitchen wall since he was 12 and only 5ft1”.
A lot of people (well mainly great Aunts) comment on how he looks like his mother. He’s fairly pale skinned and doesn’t tend to tan particularly well this is made more obvious by the dark hair he inherited from his father. His hair’s not quite black but most people assume it is, he experimented growing it long in his third year but it was even more unruly than usual - it seems to have a mind of it’s own to rival his Mum’s sometimes. He obviously got his light green eyes from his mother and when he’s not closing them to fall asleep in history they seem to win him many hearts. His eyes will perhaps be a distinguishing feature of his animagus form when he discovers it, after all you don’t see many dogs with green eyes.
Isaac’s wardrobe is that of a typical teenage boy, it consists mainly of jeans, various t-shirts from different labels, the odd band top, a couple of hoodies and one smart shirt for when that Great Aunt does appear on the doorstep. Seeing he’s in his school robes a lot of the time some teachers do still confuse him with his brother, this definitely works to his advantage when he’s late handing in transfiguration homework.
MOST LIKED FEATURE:
He’s proud of his physique. He spent along time and it took a lot of hard work and quidditch to achieve it. He wouldn’t class himself as the vain type but you might catch him flexing his muscles in front of the mirror once or twice.
MOST HATED FEATURE:
He probably dislikes his hair most although he hates his feet, his feet are far too narrow and he can never find shoes to fit! What he dislikes about his hair is how untameable it is, he can never do anything with it and constantly wakes up with it sticking out at all angles.
HERITAGE: English
ETHNICITY: Caucasian
"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."
GENERAL PERSONALITY:
Lots of stuff about Jackson here, which I will edit if it's not alright "Chalk and cheese, but you said I could be chalk" Isaac does love his family and would hate anything to happen to them but his brother is just the complete opposite of him, needless to say they don't get on too well... Well, I say Jackson's the complete opposite of Isaac but perhaps it should be the other way round, Isaac tries his hardest to be different from Jackson, different clothes, different friends, different work ethic, different attitude to life, (I'm sure Isaac would love to add different house to the list but unfortunately for him the sorting hat had other ideas.) While Jackson is a model student, or teachers pet as Isaac prefers to refer to him as, Isaac is the reverse, he never knows the answer in class, he's late, he doesn't hand in work or hands it in half finished and late, he's inconsistent with marks only achieving high grades when he can be bothered and he basically acts like Sirius did. Jackson may be tidy and well behaved but Isaac's a whole different ball game, he's always either getting up to mischiefand trying not to get caught or talking his way out of trouble when he is caught.
Like father like son" If Isaac looks like Hestia that's where it ends, he's his fathers son through and through! Well that's not entirely true he can often be just as stubborn as his mother but really the first thing you notice is how mischievous he is. He will claim that it was an accident or that he didn't mean to get into trouble, it just happened, but if that's true then lots of things 'just happen' when Isaac's around. But it's all in good nature, he'd never pull a prank to intentionally hurt someone (Well unless that someone's Jackson) mostly he does it because he's a bit of a joker and won't turn down a dare.
"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good" With all the mischief making going on at Hogwarts there'd have to be at least 10 Isaac's but no, he hasn't cloned himself, he's just found some equally mischievousness friends. One of them being Harry Potter, if Isaac's in the middle of a pile of incriminating evidence then Harry's usually not far behind and visa versa. Despite being a joker most of the time Isaac cares deeply about his friends, he's very loyal and will be there to back any of his friends up in a fight. A lot of the confidence he's got comes from the fact he's got a lot of friends, if people like him he must be doing something right.
"Are the eyes the window to the soul?" Deep down Isaac knows that his wish to be different from his brother stems from years of jealousy, even now he doesn't want to do anything that can be compared to his brother. He is vulnerable, all the laughing and joking on the outside doesn't mean he can't get hurt, it just gives him a way to hide it. A lot of the confidence he shows and all the dares he does gives him a way to be accepted by other people - he's not rich, he's not got the top grades, he can hold his own but he's not the best fighter/ dueller and he's not particularly talented so he uses what he has left - to joke around and make mischief.
HOBBIES:
- Quidditch
- Getting up to mischief and causing trouble, although it’s always accidental.
- Playing wizards chess with the Weasley’s.
- Watching Astoria eat at the slytherin table.
DISLIKES:
Isaac really doesn’t like being a twin, he tries to be as different as possible but still people don’t treat him as an individual – at least this is the reason he gives everyone, it’s probably more to do with the fact his brother can always tell when he’s lying... He absolutely hates homework and dislikes it even more when his goody two shoes twin reminds him to do it. He doesn’t see the point in a history of magic or astronomy, ‘What’s the past got to do with anything? It’s in the past.’ ‘Staring at tea leaves doesn’t show the future, it makes me thirsty’– Isaac. He gets easily embarrassed by his parents when he’s around other people and has told his Mum in no uncertain terms never to kiss him in front of anyone. Recently he’s taken a disliking to Draco Malfoy and it’s not just because he’s a slytherin, it’s more to do with a certain girl that hangs off Draco’s arm.[/center]
LIKES:
Isaac is a food lover like his Mum. He also likes muggle bands that play ‘heavy metal’, the rest of his family don’t and consequently he’s not allowed the volume higher than 5 on his stereo. Isaac seems to have a habit of getting up to no good – any guesses where that came from? He loves a challenge and never turns down a dare normally resulting in him gaining more punishments than house points in a year. He likes girls, particularly Astoria Greengrass but more about that later on...[/center]
FEARS:
- Isaac's biggest fear is probably death, but that's probably true for a lot of people so his next biggest is his family getting hurt by the growing amount of supporters that Voldemort is gaining.
- Among other things he also secretly worries about being friendless, he's reasonably popular and he'd hate to loose that. That doesn't mean he's superficial, his friends are genuine, he just doesn't like to think about being alone.
SECRETS:
- Recently he's started to notice Astoria Greengrass around Hogwarts a lot more and has developed a bit of a crush on her that he worries his parents might not approve of.
- He's an unregistered animagus. (this a secret that even he doesn't know!)
- Secretly, Isaac's responsible for the five gryffindor first years that woke up with bright green and pink hair on their first day last September.

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."
GENERAL HISTORY: (three paragraphs at least)
"On the fifteenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me..." Two little Blacks under the Christmas tree. Well, not quite, Isaac was born six minutes after Jacob (and he's never been allowed to forget it) on 15th December at St Mungos. Isaac's lived in the same house all his life although you could argue that he doesn't because he spends an awful lot of time at the Potters house. Isaac can't really remember the first two years of his life so we'll skip those, he can't really remember his sister Louise's birth either but we'll add it in because it deserves a mention anyway: One day in the _ after Isaac's 2nd Birthday his mother was rushed to St Mungos and the boys were sent to stay with their grandparents. Two days later Sirius picked the boys up and took them to meet their baby sister, Louise. Louise wasn't much fun to play with for a few years so Isaac was stuck with Jackson but believe it or not during his early life, Isaac got along with Jackson, they were practically best friends, maybe not best friends but good friends never the less. This all changed one fateful day (so fateful that it could change if whoever plays Jackson wants it to) when the Jackson showed his first signs of magical power.
"Only when your whole life flashes right before your eyes" Nine years ago...Isaac had just come back from the dentist, when Sirius parked the car Isaac blindly opened the door and stepped out. A few metres away the car driver saw the little boy stepping onto the road and slammed on his breaks praying he'd stop in time. As Isaac heard the squeal of the cars tyres he turned a horrified expression forming on his face, it was too late he couldn't get out of the way, he was going to die, everything around him started to slow down. He opened his eyes, he wasn't dead at least he hoped he wasn't, but then why was everything still going slow, he looked around, actually it was just the car going slowly. It came to a standstill and he turned around there was Jackson with his hand outstretched, he'd managed a shield charm that had slowed the car down enough to save Isaac's life.
"When I fought the green eyed monster" Jackson had saved Isaac's life, so why did he start to dislike him? Honestly, he was jealous. Jackson had always out shone him at muggle school, he was always helpful at home, people always said he was such a charming boy and Isaac was sure his parents loved Jackson more because of it. On that day he'd not only proved he had magical blood but had saved Isaac's life, something he knew he could never live up to. That's when he started to grow apart from his brother, he craved the attention he got when he caused trouble and he thought the could win his father's love by reliving the stories of his marauder days. Of course there's only so much mischief a 7 year old can get up to so his parents never realised he was doing it for attention and just reckoned he'd inherited his fathers mischief making gene.
Of course several years later Isaac did prove he had magical blood, it was on his tenth birthday in fact... Harry, Isaac and Jackson were playing with the new kites the twins had got for their birthday. Suddenly, a gust of wind caught Isaac's kite and he lost hold of the handle, it went flying up into a nearby tree. Isaac was of course upset to loose his new present and wished ad wished he could get it down. As if he'd cast an accio spell the kite untangled itself and flew towards him...Of course he was happy that he'd definitely be off to Hogwarts and everything but he couldn't shake the reminder that he hadn't saved anyone's life or done anything heroic.
"Their daring nerve and chivalry sets Gryffindors apart;" Isaac and Jackson left for Hogwarts the same year as Harry Potter did, growing up together the 3 boys had always been friends so they shared a carriage with a couple of others and swapped stories about what houses they wanted to be in. Most people had said Gryffindor, Isaac hoped for that too but deep down he spent the train ride worrying about being put in a different house. He knew Jackson was strong, brave and smart like a gryffindor should be but looking at himself, Isaac thought he seemed only good for getting into trouble. The sorting hat obviously saw the hidden qualities in Isaac and placed him in gryffindor and he's proved himself to be pretty daring, perhaps not always in the right way.
In his first year he tried hard at school enjoying all the new subjects and how interesting the magical world was. But the novelty grew off and by the end of his second year he was having more fun coming up with excuses than actually doing the work. In his third year his grades started to slip but he worked just enough for the professors to tell his parents he'd pass his O.W.Ls. He was supposed to work a bit harder in fourth year just because that's what people always said he should do...but he never quite applied himself enough and just crammed the work at the end so he could continue this year. This year he's following the same pattern but at least he tries to do the homework now, but some things never change he's probably just going to do all his revision the night before. About the only lesson he tries hard in apart from DADA is herbology. Not because he's good at it (he definitely didn't inherit his mums green fingers) but because he's slightly scared of what his Mum will do if he doesn't hand his homework in.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
Isaac
Isaac turned the corner onto the next staircase. As he put his foot down it started to move, great, he thought, just great, now I’ll have to go all the way round the school and all I forgot was my muggle studies homework. That was a pretty amazing thing in itself, Isaac had sort of without really meaning to fallen into a habit of not doing homework...Anyway he’d be damned if he forgot the work the one time he had actually done it.
Unfortunately as he attempted to find out what floor he had actually arrived on he heard the unmistakable voice of his brother, Jackson.
“Oh hello, s’pose your pretending to be late for class so you can say you were looking but you lost your homework?” Isaac heard his brother sneer.
“No, actually I’ve done it, I was just on the way to...” but Isaac didn’t get a chance to finish his brother had already pushed past him, obviously intent on having a perfect attendance with no
lates.
What Isaac couldn’t get his head around was how his brother was so perfect and always had time to do his homework and his prefect duties and have fun, then again Isaac didn’t think he’d ever seen his brother having fun.
Isaac was following the corridor round not at all sure where he was going, the walls seemed to grow shabbier and shabbier until he realised he must have reached an old unused part of the castle, oddly it seemed familiar. He reached the bottom of some stairs and started to climb up and up the spiralling staircase watching has he went not to stand on any missing steps. Every couple of spirals there were small windows looking out onto the country side but Isaac didn’t stop to look, curiosity was getting the better of him and he had to keep climbing to find out what was at the top and why it was all so familiar.
His legs were aching but eventually he did reach the top and boy was it worth it! He was inside the ruins of an old turret; the roof had long since crumbled away in several places giving way to spectacular views of the rolling hills, rivers and mountain beyond. Isaac soaked the view in while faint memories trickled into his mind, he was much younger in them but he’d definitely been here before... “Oh yes!” shouted Isaac in a moment of realisation that sent all the settled birds flurrying up into the air. He had been here before it was in his first year, his first proper day he’d taken the wrong staircase and walked around aimlessly finally ending up here, he’d felt really calm almost, to use the clichéd phrase, “at one with nature.” As hard as he’d tried he’d never found this place again, it was almost as if the stairs had known something and wanted him to come here. As he started to think of why he found himself falling onto his hands and knees, his tongue lolled out of his mouth and he began to be very aware of the different scents being carried on the breeze. This day was just getting odder he thought as he tried to work out what was going on...
