Niccolo Govender ⁴

Niccolo had a complicated life, where the only treatment he received was violence. His mother refused to give him any attention from a young age; she never wanted a child. His father was much worse; he worked day and night as a Death Eater, obeying Voldemort's orders. And he wanted his son to be just like him. So, when Niccolo turned eleven, he sent him to Hogwarts to learn everything about magic, especially the forbidden and dangerous kind. Every time Niccolo disobeyed, he received the jolt of violence his father held back, something he had to get used to and live with the scars.

From the moment he entered Hogwarts, he was free of his father, and the first thing that fascinated him was Quidditch. With a lot of practice, he managed to make the Slytherin team, his favorite sport. He was the team captain and a great thrower. But he also got into fights. Too many. He's a boy who grew up surrounded by violence and thought it was normal to have fights every week, which always ended in punishment.

Even so, he was an attractive boy, so he always received special attention from the girls, even those from Gryffindor; sometimes he'd find notes or flirtatious glances on his seat. Although he was never interested in having a girlfriend, only casual dates or passionate kisses.

Until that changed.

In his third year, upon turning thirteen, he met a girl: a kind and cheerful Hufflepuff. It only took a couple of months for him to fall in love with her. He used his free time to go out with her and made her gifts with his own hands—those hands that could throw punches now caressed her with tenderness and gentleness. She was the only one worthy of his respect and love. She was affectionate and pampered him like a baby, and Niccolo couldn't have been happier.
Every game she cheers him on from the stands wearing her team's jersey, and every night Niccolo tucks her into a warm, clean bed. She's his little love, like a delicate flower.

Now, at seventeen, Niccolo has his girl at the top of his thoughts and priorities.
