hey, isn’t that {AMYCUS CARROW}? {HE} is a {SEVENTH YEAR + SLYTHERIN} and I’ve heard that they are {CALCULATING & PERSISTENT} but can also be {CRUEL & IRRITABLE}. there’s also rumours that they are part of the {REBELS (DEATH EATERS)}, and maybe that’s because they are {PUREBLOOD}? but who knows if that is true. they also look really similar to {JACOB ELORDI}, but I don’t see it myself.
HI meet amycus!!!! he is another BIG newbie to me so pls bear with me while i stumble around for a bit writing, trying to find his speech patterns and general behavior n such
this intro is a big mess hehe
tl;dr he sucks
he’s always been angry, amycus. always. he came into the world screaming and he’ll leave the world screaming, sooner or later (and, he reckons, it’ll be sooner).
the only son of the carrow family, where alecto had to work harder for their parents’ love, amycus was constantly watched. trained to be an heir and carry on the family name and everything that came with it
(cw: implications of abuse in the next few points) he was never too much the brunt of their parents anger - that was always alecto. they might as well have been joined at the hip as kids, and when alecto was in trouble amycus was right there with her
but alecto seemed to get in trouble more, and amycus would try and cover for her, he’d argue with their father and try and turn the anger towards him instead, and then he would fight back.
amycus fell into the wrong crowd at hogwarts, but what else was to be expected of him? he fell into the role of pureblood slytherin boy perfectly, and the anger that had been aimed at his father for the first eleven years of his life could now be aimed at other students, namely mudbloods. cheers!
things changed with alecto, too - where they were once always together, she was sorted into ravenclaw. now they were their own person, after eleven years of being each other’s support.
(cw: abuse implications again, cheers lads) holidays home grew progressively more tense. maybe it was because he felt she betrayed him by being sorted into ravenclaw, maybe it was the influence of his new friends, maybe it was a little bit of both. amycus once stood in the way to defend his sister, but now he was watching his father from the corner of his eye. he couldn’t bare to face alecto’s pain head-on, but he could watch and learn.
he thinks it’s all funny, this shit with the death eaters and the rebels and blood purity. it was funny before voldemort died, how everyone was losing their shit, and it’s funny now how the other side is losing their shit. sure, it’s his side, but it wasn’t like he had any major stakes in the war. he’s still trying to deal with school.
amycus knows he’ll be fine. he has his parent’s protection if any aurors come knocking on their door. besides, they’d definitely get sent to azkaban before amycus, seeing as he’s just a poor kid and all.
he can be decently charming when he wants to be but its rare that he wants to be lol. mostly just to professors and the classmates he actually tolerates
baaaaaasically he’s a big pain in the ass who doesn’t feel remorse for any of his actions (unless it comes to his sister but thats complicated uwu), hates muggleborns, is probably going to work some shitty job at the ministry after his hogwarts career is over unless he finds something better to do, and just wants to cause trouble. cheers!
deeeeeep down is he afraid of who he’s becoming and kind of hates himself? for sure but we sure as hell aren’t gonna get into that shit
other fun things:
he has the dark mark uwu, his sleeves normally cover it but he also doesn’t go out of his way to hide it
on the slytherin quidditch team as a chaser, he used to be a beater but he took the title of that role a little too seriously and the professors made him switch lol
his pet is a hawk who lives in the owlery with all the other owls, probably bullies them, he doesn’t know doesn’t care. he trained that hawk when he was a kid and it scratched up his arm enough, he’s gonna keep it at school with him. if anyone questions him, he just keeps telling them it’s an owl, even though it’s very clearly not.
the hawk doesn’t have a name, it’s a hawk.
biiiiig fan of unforgivable curses, especially the cruciatus curse heehee, he was for sure the type of kid who burned ants under magnifying glasses except he just tortured them with magic :-)
pls dont call him amy he hates that very much
actually really, really into wizard chess. playing chess is Amycus’s Big Boy Calm Down Chill Out Time
