PERSONALITY

Boggart: Deep water. Cole has a very strong fear of drowning. He can deal with shallows water and regular pools, but the ocean or the Hogwarts lake... the things that could be lurking down there, unknown, undiscovered. It absolutely terrifies him.
Mirror of Erised: His mother alive again.
Patronus: Llama - Cole has recently learned how to produce a Patronus after busting his butt in DADA. His happiest memory is becoming Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, and it takes the form of a llama, though it's not the strongest form yet, and is wispy around the edges, it's getting there.

Cole is a very calm person, not someone you will see gossiping or giggling around the castle. He's not known for being overly energetic or enthused about things. He feels it on the inside, but projects this deep, almost unnerving calm to the world. He is a deep thinker, and you won't get to know most of what goes on in his head, but if you're his friend, then you'll have a better chance than anyone else. He's clever, and works hard in his studies, though don't expect him to offer to tutor anyone. He's not that kind of guy. He can be a bit of a loner, but if you approach him, you'll find him quite happy to have a bit of company, so long as you don't expect him to entertain you. Any friends he does have are friends for life.

He has gained a reputation as a bit of a bad boy, but it couldn't be further from the truth. He does get into fights around the castle, and people can be kind of scared of him, but it's all for a good cause. He won't tolerate any bullying, of himself or others. He's known as someone who isn't scared to stand up to anyone, and always follows up on his word. He's put his fair share of people in the hospital wing, mostly pompous elitist nobs, and he's no stranger to the healers himself. Cole has a heart of gold, and he just won't put up with anyone treating others badly. He does have enemies around the castle, but they're all dickheads, the good people actually like him, which is all that matters.

Cole is popular with the ladies, though he's not into shallow girls at all. He likes substance, brains, there has to me more going on under the surface. Of course, a pretty surface is a bonus, but that's not what he's about. He's a Beater for The Hufflepuff Quidditch team and has just been announced as the new Captain, and girls tend to like that, though he never uses it to his advantage. He has a sarcasm, and a dark humour about him that he employs with flirting, too, so if you're too airy fairy, you're probably not for him. He wants to settle down one day. Flings and one off things are fun, sure, but he can't see himself being like that forever, he needs a deeper connection than that. He can be a bit intense all across the board, really, but take the time to get to know him and you won't regret it.

Kieran and Zoe Cresswell were just a regular muggle couple, with two handsome sons. There was only a two year age gap between their boys, and so Dirk and Cole grew up very close, and were inseparable from the very beginning. Sometimes they would be painting and the lid off a bottle of paint would explode when the boys were too eager to wait for Zoe to open it for them. Sometimes Kieran could have sworn Dirk had finished his drink, but then the next time he looked, it was half full again. Sometimes Zoe swatted a fly in the kitchen, only to discover it flying about again ten seconds later, Cole's eager green eyes locked on it. They were surrounded by strange coincidences. Until Dirk turned eleven and everything changed.

A letter came addressed to their oldest son, claiming that he was a wizard, and was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, that wasn't a real place, the Cresswells insisted. They ignored it until there was a knock on the door one day, and a woman who claimed to be a witch strolled into their living room and demonstrated a bit of magic for them with her wand. Well, that was unexpected. It took them a while to believe what they were seeing and hearing, but eventually a lot of odd childhood memories began to add up, and they realised that what they had written off as coincidence had actually been magic. So Dirk was off to Hogwarts, and two years later Cole followed in his footsteps.

It was all new and interesting, but Cole was the type of boy who took everything in his stride. He was very accepting of it all, and for such a deep thinker, he reckoned he had known all along, on some level, that he had magic in him. He was sorted into Hufflepuff for his unwavering loyalty and dangerous calm, as well as his willingness to put blood, sweat, and tears into his studies. He was a muggleborn, and at a disadvantage, but he wouldn't let anyone look down on him, and people soon learned that you don't mess with Cole Cresswell. He got into quite a few fights, and eventually duels, once he was more competent with his wand.

The same prejudice was going on in the outside world, too. Upon learning about the growing army against people like him, Cole was disgusted, and he became a voice for the underdog. Any time he sees anyone being treated badly, he will speak up, albeit quietly. He will look up from his book, calmly tell you to fuck right off or he'll shove your head so far up your arse you'll meet your stomach, and then go back to his book. If you don't listen, well that's your own fault, because he doesn't make threats that he won't see through. He has just finished his sixth year, and is struggling more than ever since his mother was murdered by Death Eaters just last month for being a muggle. It has hit him hard, and he is more determined than ever to fight back. Cole has been named Quidditch Captain for the Hufflepuff team, which he has been a Beater for since his third year, and he is trying to look forward to his final year of school, though grief and anger have a firm grip on him.
