THIS MOMENT WILL PASS IF YOU JUST

LEAVE IT ALONE, LEAVE IT ALONE EVERYTIME

Never the first one to speak, Elijah keeps to himself not bothering to communicate with his fellow students or Hogwart’s staff. He doesn’t have many friends, but prefers it that way because of a general lack of trust toward the general human population. Sometimes he comes off as indifferent, cold, or bitter but in reality Elijah knows very well who he is but he realizes it’s not someone most like to see. Because of the poor attitude some have towards those who are homosexual, Elijah is very insecure and keeps it hidden, believing it to be like a curse. He continually fights against his emotions. There is a side of Elijah that drives others, more so his parents, up the wall. He is very competitive and enjoys lurking in the background and playing cunning tricks on his peers and siblings. It gives him a sense of control in his life. Elijah hates to lose and is disturbed that he cannot truly be himself; no matter how much he wants Elijah will never publically declare his sexuality. He will always pretend to like girls. He does poorly in school (but well enough to stay on the quidditch team) and fails to understand his mother's preference of muggle culture.

------------------------------ I AM A STRANGER, YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN ------------------------------
PRESSED TO THE WALL FAR TOO MANY TIMES
-------------------------------------- FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIENDS --------------------------------------

Eli is quite standoffish and prefers the sole company of his owl over his peers. He's blunt and lacking of any filter-he'll tell you to scram without batting a lash. He bottles up his emotions and because of such, tends to explode at the smallest of things. He likes mocking the first years, especially the Gryffindors. In truth, as cheesy as it may sound, he's too terrified of his secret being discovered by any who come too close. So he pushes everyone back. Besides,that's how a normal Slytherin acts, right? I doubt he'll have very many friends, but there may be one or two that manage to worm their way through.

--------------------------- STOP YOUR BEHAVIOR OR YOU WILL FIND -------------------------
MY MURDEROUS NATURE SURROUND YOU
-------------------------------------- ENEMIES ENEMIES ENEMIES ---------------------------------

Not the most sympathetic or outgoing young man, Elijah has often landed himself in trouble through duels or physical fights. He's had too many detentions to count. Also he has an uncanny hatred for Gryffindors targets for his pent-up anger and has often gotten nasty in quidditch matches. There will be lots of enemies for this little snake!

------------------------------ TOO MUCH EMOTION TOO LONG CONFINED HAS -------------------
WEAKENED THE WALL THAT PROTECTS YOU
------------------------------------- LOVERS LOVERS LOVERS -------------------------------------

Ah. The good stuffs. As previously mentioned Elijah is homosexual and has no romantic interest in those of the opposite sex. However, he is a coward and cannot force himself to admit truth to anyone and would rather die unhappy than live openly with the truth. If the subject of homosexuality is ever brought up Eli will not defend it and call it 'disgusting.' Inside he feels like a sick little monster that is doomed only for misery. So he has dated a handful of girls in effort of shaking off suspicion. He had no real feelings for any of them-some of them he even hated. But the guilt of using someone else and manipulating their feelings does weight on his conscious, further cracking his weakened shell. But he stills dates girls that he cares nothing for, he doesn't feel there is any other choice.

------------------------- NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO DEFINE IT ----------------------
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN TOO MANY TIMES
----------------------------------- OTHERS OTHERS OTHERS -----------------------------

Elijah is open for any twisted relationship you throw his way. I'm really hoping that members of his family (especially his father and twin bro) are picked up. <3

ELIJAH && DAPHNE

Hmm, let me see. Same house, though he is a year older than her. I think it would be safe to suggest that they at least no each other. Perhaps Daphne was one of the past girls that he dated, though in Daphne’s case it wouldn’t really be dating but that is another matter. Anyway, maybe they had a past thing that didn’t last long at all and Daphne, being perceptive as she is and not a stranger to presenting a different version of herself to the world, got a feeling that he isn’t into girls? Of course, this is all subject to change if you want and I am completely open to suggestions if you have any. Sorry for the tired rambling.

DAPHNE&&ELI
Yesss. Daphne is definately a girl Eli would have persued-Slytherin, classy, and pretty. It would be really cool if (since she seems preceptive) she picked up on his vibes and figured it out for herself. When she confronted him Eli would get angry and deny it before eventually breaking down and confessing. Their break up could have been a peaceful one and maybe they're really close friends? Eli needs at least one person to talk to. Add/subtract/delete?

[daphne appoline greengrass]

ELI && DAPHNE

Friends it is! While Daphne may have been able to figure it out, and confronted him about it, she would never hint at it to others and if they asked she would deny it. So yeah, his secret is safe with her.

theodore&eli
eli is a year older than him, but they're in the same house, and play quidditch together, not to mention eli dated theodore's best friend daphne, so they most definitely know each other. i'm not sure if they'll be friends but i do think that theodore would definitely respect, eli, and look up to him. i think there would be some definite competition on the quidditch field between them, because when it comes to quidditch, it's always a competition. um...yes? no? maybe so?
