Appearance:

Henk is of average height, standing about 5 ft., 8 in. He has a rather stocky build, though he is quite fit. He has very fair skin, almost paper white, except for the natural redness in his cheeks. His face is wide with wide features: rather wide-set eyes, a wide mouth, and a rounded face. His hair is a bright, fiery red color— almost orange, really. His eyes are blue and lined with pale lashes. His eyebrows are also fair and almost unnoticeable. He dresses in sturdy clothing, not particularly desirous of fine suits. Henk was right-handed, but due to an accident he has had to learn to use his left hand for writing and spell-casting. It’s been quite awkward for him and his motions still aren’t quite as fluid as they should be.

History:
1861 | Henry Obadiah Fitzpatrick was born the first child to Mr. & Mrs. ----- Fitzpatrick. He was deemed “Henk” shortly within six months after his birth.
1863 | Henk’s younger brother is born.
1864 | Henk’s younger sister, Fortunata, is born. She is the last born to the Fitzpatricks. This pregnancy had been particularly difficult for Mrs. Fitzpatrick and left some internal damage, making it impossible for Mrs. Fitzpatrick to get pregnant again. They chose the name “Fortunata” for it was believed she was going to be a stillborn, but she turned out to be quite alive and healthy.
1867 | Henk displayed his first signs of magic.
1872 | Henk received his Hogwarts letter over the summer and left for Hogwarts in the fall. He was sorted into Gryffindor.
1874 | Henk’s brother joined him at Hogwarts, but was sorted into Slytherin. It was during this year that Hank became quite dedicated to the study of music. He became particularly talented with piano and guitar.
1875 | Fortunata was discovered to be a squib. Instead of attending Hogwarts, her parents hired private tutors for her education.
1879 | Henk graduated from Hogwarts. He had dreamed of becoming a professional musician and decided to pursue a career as such. He decided to relocate to Hogsmeade that year. His family followed suit, settling in a large house in Wellingtonshire.
1881 | Henk suffered an unfortunate accident that damaged his right hand, ending his professional musical career. He didn’t give up on music altogether though because he still maintained the ability to play guitar. After the accident, his father suggested he try to pursue a different career. Hank decided to take his father’s advice and applied for a desk job at the Ministry. Henk also took an interest in photography during this year.
1884 | Henk continued to work for the Ministry until the Laughing Plague broke out. The Plague took both of his parents and left his brother, his sister, and himself quite weak. To the surprise of the Fitzpatrick children, it was stated that Henk’s younger brother was due to inherit most of the family fortune, while Henk was only left a quarter of it. Their father didn’t believe Henk had the care to maintain the main family fortune.
Presently | In August, Henk applied for the position of Daily Prophet photographer and received the job. He later took up a house in Bartonburg in the fall, feeling quite exhausted by his brother’s badgering at him about him a proper job. Henk is quite happily settled and is frequently visited by his sister, who says she’d more happily live with him than with their brother.
