Bio:

Before School Years:  Ryan has been told for as long as he could remember that he was the spitting image of his father -- and he even has his attitude.  RJ was only five when his dad had his injury -- he is only ten months or so younger than Constantine -- and so he could not remember entirely his dad without the injury, but he could tell at a young age that his father was not happy.  He spent a lot of time at the Lupins hanging out with Ally, Charlie, and Meredith.  He thought of them as his adoptive family, Uncle Will and Aunt Emelyn.  Sometimes he wished that they were his family.  They were just so awesome and let him stay with them whenever he wanted to.

During School Years:  RJ was Sorted into Gryffindor.  He and Stan were always close, and being Sorted into opposite Houses it became kind of rough.  But his Uncle Regulus and Grandpa helped Ryan realize that there was more to being a brother than just House rivalries.  Ryan had always enjoyed keeping things as easy going between him and his siblings as possible, but sometimes that was unavoidable.  RJ was one of the first people to know that his brother was a Seer.  He was actually the one who pointed out to Stan that he should probably talk to someone -- possibly Professor Lupin -- about everything.  

Ryan is quite good at Transfiguration and Herbology.  He has no idea what he wants to do in his life as far as beyond Hogwarts, but he knew that he wanted to make a difference somehow.

After School Years:

Hey there RJ... up to trouble?

Hey Stan... why do you automatically thinking that I am up to trouble?  *grins*

I wish I could roll my eyes.  It's you.  You and Charlie are always up to something.  Trouble seems to follow you no matter where you go, RJ.

That is so not true.  Trouble doesn't follow me... nor do I hunt it down, either.  I know that would be the thing you say next, Stan.  You're quite predictable.

Stan wouldn't have said it, I would have.  Ryan... you are much more troublesome than either one of us.  I think everyone would agree with that.

Hey Dona.  And I am not.  I hate that you two are saying I am worse than either one of you.  Stan here hangs out with Malfoy, Turner, the rest of them.  Even Pettigrew is worse than me.

Don't be ragging on my friends, RJ.  That's not very nice.

I'm just stating the obvious, Stan.  They're in Slytherin.  No, clearly not all of them are alike because you're better than them... but still.

Boys, would you behave, please?  We don't need to get into a huge argument -- especially over Houses.

*crosses arms*  We're just having some fun... nothing for obnoxious big sisters need to butt in on, Dona.

*smirks*  Exactly, Sedona.  You can butt out.  Please.

*rolls eyes*  Gee, you two were going at each other and now you're united against me?  Really?

Meh, that's the way we roll, Dona.  You should know that by now.

*nods*  Seriously, sis.  It's not like we try to hide that's what we do.
