Patronus
Jamie's patronus is a large Siberian Husky. It represents his integrity and loyalty as well as his instincts. Husky's are very caring dogs who are extremely loyal and have great instincts. They also are brave and will do whatever it takes to save someone. They are also very smart and use their smarts in very inventive ways especially when saving someone. This is also like Jamie. They are also very fit and strong. They have great leadership qualities and are often used to head sleigh teams. They are often used as teachers as well. Jamie is very much like a husky and no matter how deeply buried each of these traits is within him. The happiest memory that he associates with his patronus is the first night at Hogwarts while he lying in bed awake just thinking of everything he had ahead of him. The friends he had made on the train and the amazing feast like nothing he had ever seen on the farm and all the magic. He couldn't even sleep. Just the thought of not having to deal with the curses and the 'preparation for the dark witches and wizards' that weren't even going to come. He didn't have to deal with it for months now. He didn't even have to work the farm! It was the happiest moment in his life. Of course there are other powerful memories he can use too. Such as when he used wingardium leviosa to start a food fight in the great hall. All the laughter, though mostly from him, was great. The whole scene had made him happy. Just kids throwing food at each other. It didn't even stay so much as a fight as it did a friendly one after a bit. Even after when they were forced to stop almost everyone laughed. Of course there were many Buh hum bugs in the group who didn't. Sometimes it's even just a compilation of memories of him laughing with his friends or the first time he ever learned a spell. How the magic flowed through him and he felt the power. The first time he really wanted to know more and more. He wanted endless knowledge on magic and learn everything there was to know.

Mirror of Erised
Jamie would see himself with his father's arm around him and his mother next to him. He nev had a moths love or touch and his father has struggled with psychological issues so he has never been quiet there. Not to mention his father views him as both a disgrace and a bad omen. He desires nothing more than a mothers love and his fathers love.

Jamie's greatest fear is watching those he cares about die while he can do nothing. Helpless and not able to help those he cares about as they are tortured or killed.
Personality
Jamie is a very complicated person. He is an underdog. The kind of guy many adults and other people might expect to not become anything however he hides his true power and intelligence. Jamie is very lazy and irresponsible and perfers to use his magic rather get up and actually do something if it is something he would rather not do such as doing laundry. He would much more like to use his powers to his advantage and let magic do all the work for him. However he contradicts himself as he keeps himself in great physical condition as seen by his washboard abs, six pack, lean muscular build, you get the picture he's built like a soldier. Jamie is a complete prankster and jokester which is a result from years of neglect he subconsciously needs and tries to get the attention and be the center of attention. However underneath the irresponsibility and laziness he is actual very active and very responsible as well. He is a charms prodigy and a magic genius especially in potions.
Jamie has deep emotional problems stemmed from his home life. His father had severe mental problems and growing up in an environment in which he was abused both physically and mentally. He often awakens from nightmares of this. Despite everything his father did to him, Jamie is an extremely loyal person and struggles with both his hatred and love for his father. He doesn't want to betray his family and he doesn't want to tell out of fear. He honors integrity, bravery, intelligence, honor and loyalty. He believes knowledge is power but also that it gives more of a variety of inventive ways to have fun or create on inventive prank. He is also extremely intelligent however he has low self esteem about his future. Although he has low self-esteem it isn't something you'd guess or even realize unless you were really close to him and you found out which nobody has yet. On the outside he appears cocky, arrogant, confident and funny but on the inside he is a scared of having to grow up and is afraid of losing those he cares about.
Jamie is a funny guy though. Often using his wit and inventiveness to play jokes and pranks. Though he doesn't mean them in a harmful way but more of a joking, harmless way. He is also the kind of touchy (as in touching (not inappropriately)) and bubbly as he hides his pain and is afraid to face his past and present home life. Don't be surprised if he throws his arm around your neck. Jamie is often getting in trouble due to his joking manner and his uncanny ability to argue though in a more debating and joking way rather than harsh manner. He is known for getting in trouble for using his wit as a means of coming up with sarcastic comments or funny one liners or answering questions in not seriously as in making a joke out of a question. He is the class clown though he is more than that. Capable of bring light to even the darkest of times, Jamie is a real peoples person and is the kind of guy who cares a lot about others. He has a certain charm and charisma to him that makes people want to be around him. This is an attempt at getting the attention and appreciation and love he never had growing up. He knows what it's like to be alone so it isn't uncommon for him to approach a stranger who looks upset to see what's wrong.
He appreciates individuality and loves his wits. He has great instincts and one day wishes to be a detective sort of though he doesn't want part in the ministry as he has a long line of aurora and ministry men in his family and will be the first in generations not to become one. He absolutely hates dark magic and as shown in the history as even taken it upon himself to find out who is using it. He personally doesn't want anyone with a history involving dark magic in the school but apparently the ministry, in his opinion, isn't doing justice as they haven't just rounded them up and thrown them in Azkaban. He has a very serious side that rarely shows. It shows in the dueling club, when he is doing something complicated in potions and especially on the Quidditch pitch. He has natural born leadership qualities and great instincts as well as Quidditch skills. He speaks his mind freely and admires all the houses as he sees the best in them as he tries with other people. He feels a lot of pain inside from the years of abuse however he knows his father did it because his father was crazy and believed dark witches and wizards were after them. It is an example of how he sees the best in people.
He is also hotheaded often getting into trouble, fights if someone goes after him and working on leads even if it means going out after hours, though he has been known for sneaking out after hours already during his many trips to the kitchen. He loves house elves and although he feels bad for the way ones outside of Hogwarts, feels great for the ones inside due to the fact that they are happy. Jamie is also always wanting food and has a low metabolism. He is known for his uncanny ability of impersonations and can easily mimic almost anyone he hears. He enjoys always being around people even if they are stern, uptight sort of people he doesn't get along with. He also doesn't let things cloud his judgement and often thinks before he acts. Jamie is also extremely loyal to his friends and Hogwarts. He thinks of his friends as his family more than as friends and is the kind of person who would go to all measures to protect those he cares about. He can sometimes say something that could be taken wrong though he means no harm by it.
Jamie is definitely a ladies man. Complete womanizer. He can be attracted to practically anyone. Be it the shy girl in the corner, the partying hufflepuff, the ambitious girl, the tough girl, the softy, anyone as long as they intrigue him. He also sometimes likes a bit of a chase/fight of getting the girl in the first place, though he doesn't need it. He jokingly flirt more or less than truly flirts sometimes. He secretly craves love and affection from a girl and it wouldn't necessarily matter if the girl was his age, a year or two older or a year younger. He can sometimes try out of his league though he is popular. He is the type of guy who has many friends and has flirty friendships with girls. Even if they don't back. He is known to have already been around the year before though some of the rumors in which he had sex are not true, though it is going around the school. He doesn't know how and definitely doesn't promote it either. Girls are a huge weakness to him and he definitely has had a cheating problem though if you read the history it's explained and not entirely his fault though the guilt from it eats him alive. Jamie is very strong-minded and knows how to use his charms to his advantage and highlight the more good parts in him. He also likes to give tours to the first years and sort of befriend the shy people and bring them into the world. He is a party guy and tries to share the love and joy to as much people he can. This is mostly a defense mechanism from not having a father so he looks to create mentor like bonds to people and likes being looked forward to. Also due to not having a mother and having a severely crazed father, he gets attached to older people as if they are parents and looks up to people easily if they are nice to him and have shown him appreciation and acted in a motherly or fatherly action towards him.[/right]
History
Jamie was born to Shawn and Elizabeth McCarthy on October 31st 1997. His mother died during childbirth and he had come a whole month early. His father shunned him at first though he did take care of the baby Jamie. As Jamie grew older, his father, an auror, became more and more paranoid thinking that dark witches and wizards were watching him and his son who he had grown to love however he seemed to have split into two decisions. His father was extremely superstitious and believed Jamie to have been a bad omen having been born a month early and in his words 'on the day of the devil'. At the age of six, his father had quit his job and moved himself and his son to a very rural part of Northern Ireland due to extreme paranoia and, to put it frankly, craziness.
Even on the rural Northern Ireland farm though his father still believed that dark witches and wizards were after them. Jamie was subject to various different things that his father believed dark wizards and witches would do to him such as the cruciartus and imperius curses and ligillimens. He had to be extremely responsible and always at work growing up on the farm and it wasn't the most fun either. He grew a love for barbecue food early on and from an early age was terrified of his father. Not much happened other than taking care of the farm and being abused both physically and mentally by his father until he was eleven. That's when his Hogwarts letter came. He knew he was a wizard already and had a long family heritage of aurors and ministry workers or all did amazing at school. He was located so rurally that the owl even and trouble finding them and showed up a day or two later than normal. He went to diagonal alley like most people and relatively had a normal first time that most kids had other than the occasional moment of his father pulling him to the side wide eyed and freaky. Everything was fine that day until he got his wand. He will never forget his father completely freaking out about his wand being 13 inches. The mark of a dark witch or wizard.
He went to Hogwarts and quickly picked up on social behaviors and quickly became popular among the other young students, he was known for using wingardium leviosa for many devious pranks in his first year and often got Ravenclaw in trouble however he quickly showed his ability to regain his points in class because of his natural magical abilities that had ran through his blood. Especially in charms, potions and defense against the dark arts. He loved Hogwarts and the years went by. He gained maybe close friendships and enemies. He had a very eventful time at Hogwarts becoming chaser for Ravenclaw in his second year and becoming captain in his fourth year. He had great grades in most classes though showed little interest in muggle studies and he hates the class. He quickly gained a reputation for his charm, charisma and magical abilities. During his years he often got into duels in the hallway when someone drew at him first. He gained the nickname QuickDraw from some due to that he always keeps his wand in his right or left sleeve being he's ambidextrous. He was known for many jokes such as the infamous food fight he started between the Gryffindor and Slytherine tables in his second year by secretly using wingardium leviosa to throw slytherine food at a Gryffindor who had gotten in an argument with a slytherine and turned his/her back. Or the time he had a cream pie floating behind the teacher to that when s/he turned around it him them in the face.
In his fourth year he got in big trouble though. Not with rules or teachers, he already had that. No this time it was with girls. He had started dating a girl and he began to really like her and things began to even get serious. Unfortunately she had broken up him and he went all sad and mopey for awhile. She had practically just used him to make another boy jealous. He was comforted by another girl and he began a relationship with her. Before it could get out however the other girl came back to him and realized she really liked him. That she had been wrong and all the other things he had wanted to hear before. But now it just complicated things, unable to say no as he still had left over feelings for her he began seeing both girls secretly. He couldn't choose which one he cared for more. He had gotten serious with one and the other had been with him when he was in his worst. Unfortunately they eventually both found out and things obviously haven't been the same since. He got a reputation he didn't like and someone started a rumor he had sex which wasn't true at even the slightest but it didn't stop the rumor from flying around Hogwarts faster than a snitch. He also got very well known for finding the Room of Requirement in his third year which he used to throw an exclusive party, courtesy of him and the house elves whom know him very well. Then again even if you haven't met him everyone at hogwarts has heard his name.
Now it's a new year though. A new year for new beginnings. He wants to shake his rep but unfortunately it hasn't been forgotten. He'd much rather bury the hatchet and be friends with girls from before and he's constantly said sorry to both of them but it hasn't seemed to cut it and the guilt eats him alive. He has become obsessed with the dark magic things that happened the year before and has started using the Room of Requirement to his advantage as he thinks privately and forms theories of who could be involved. He doesn't tolerate dark magic in his home. Yes that it what he views it as. His home.

Special Abilities
he will be able to use non-verbal magic and have an animagus form of a raven though I feel he is too young yet to know either yet. But just know lat on when he is older he will learn them both.

Anything Else
Due to growing up with a father who used the imperious curse on him numerous times he has learned to fight back even the most powerful imperio. He also is no stranger to the cruciartus curse and although it still effects him, he can take it much longer. His father also used veritaserum on him as well to build up his immunity to it. One of the things he believes good that has come out of it all.
