ZEBASTIAN ● JULIAN ● PEYTON
i'll never be, a knight in armor with a sword in hand, or a kamikaze fighter.
don't count on me, to storm the barricades and take a stand, or hold my ground.
you'll never see any scars or wounds, i don't walk on coals, i won't walk on water.
i am no prince, i am no saint, i am not anyone's wildest dream,
but i will stand behind and be, someone to fall back on.
FOURTY THREE ● ADVANCED CHARMS PROFESSOR
SORRY, NOT QUITE. SO WHAT ARE AND AREN'T YOU INTO ?
"My likes all have something in common. I enjoy reading and writing, grading essays and homework, charms, politics, transfiguration and history. I enjoy teaching and I have a deep love for art and poetry, including theatre, and can often be found at muggle theatres for the occasional show. I cannot stand my ex-wife, though it is not a hatred and more developed from hurt than anything else. I hate the fact I cannot talk to my children and when students are disrespectful. I would have preferred the history position and don't like the fact I couldn't get it, but it was filled at the time I applied and I decided against changing jobs when it opened again. I hate mondays - enough said!"
HOW ER... INTERESTING. EVER LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR OF ERISED ?
"Zeb's main (and perhaps only) goal is to have, at least, his children back in his life and for this constant battle between him and his ex-wife to end so that he can move on and be happy with someone new."[/size]
WHAT MAKES YOU SHAKE IN YOUR BOOTS ?
"Aside from his low grade fears of never seeing his children, snakes and spiders, Zeb's biggest, and perhaps most nauseating, fear is that of his children dead."[/size]
EVEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME GOOD QUALITIES, RIGHT ?
"Zeb's strengths are not many, but he is rather talented in those areas. History, Politics, Transfiguration and Charms are the strengths that are noticed the most but he is an extremely talented writer of stories and poetry and a talented artist as well, something few people know about him."[/size]
AND IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS YOU HAVE YOUR BAD, HUH ?
"Divination and Astronomy are the two most notable weaknesses that Zeb has, he finds both subjects to be utter hogwash. Other weaknesses that he tends to keep to himself include his habit of guarding himself, often pushing people away from him, his habit of hiding behind a mask (that often falters when he starts to trust a person) and his children - the only thing his ex can successfully use against him."[/size]
LET'S GET DIRTY. WHAT TURNS YOU ON ?
"Zebastian is attracted to intelligence, above all else, and creativity. People who think highly of themselves, are vain and snooty or just have a habit of complaining can just forget about him."[/size]
DO YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY ?
"Simple way to put Zeb's relationship with his family would be disasterous. His family turned against him when his ex-wife and he first got together, knowing what she was like, and the relationship has never mended. His children have been brainwashed against him but he does not have the strength to fight his ex anymore. He is the youngest son (and middle child) of Malcolm Peyton and Susan Iscariot (née Palmer) with a step father, Thomas Iscariot, and a step-mother, Antoinette Peyton (née Zanipolo). His brothers, Lysander Seann Peyton [50] and Carlisle Elliot Peyton [47] are both older than him while his sisters, Esmerelda Leigh Kaligaris (née Peyton) [41] and Merina Janette Pinterry (née Peyton) [37] are younger. Both his sisters and his eldest brother are married and his brothers and sister in law are Kostas Kaligaris [44], Michael Pinterry [38] and Anabelle Peyton (née Jericho) [49]. His ex-wife, Louisa Von Trapp [41], and he do not get along and he does not see the four children they concieved together. All his children, Alekai Romeo [19], Demitri Emilio [16], Aislinn Chiquita [13] and Effie Lena [13], bear their mother's surname.[/size]
"
WHERE YA FROM, BY THE WAY ?
"Zeb was born Zebastian Julian Peyton, the third child and third boy of five children born to Malcolm Peyton and his first wife Susan Palmer. Zeb, like his siblings, was raised to be accepting of others around them, not to judge people without getting to know them first and to try and see the good in people. These teachings would get Zeb into a lot of trouble when he got older. His childhood, for the most part, was relatively normal. Zeb was born in Perth, Australia, and art the age of four his parents, brothers (Lysander and Carlisle), sister (Esmerelda) and he moved to England to start a new life, his youngest sister (Merlinda) had not been born yet. From about the age of seven he was shipped between two houses when his parents divorced, his youngest sister barely one year of age. He accepted the adjustment, though it was difficult on him and his younger sisters. Two years later his father was married a second time to one Antoinette Zanipolo and the year after that his mother married again to a man named Thomas Iscariot. This was to be the start of a rift that would tear the family down the seams and leave the children caught in the middle of it all. Malcolm and Susan could not stand each other's partners and had a habit of bad mouthing each other's prospective spouses around the children, causing the younger pair to imitate their words, it was not long before the two girls stopped visiting their father and spent their time with their mother and Thomas.[/size]
Zeb showed his first sign of magic at the age of four. He was trying to be like his brothers (then 8 and 11) and was climbing trees in the backyard with them. He was just about as high as they were when he lost his footing and, somehow, managed to cushion his fall enough to prevent any broken bones (though there were still a few cuts and bruises to be seen). When he recieved his Hogwarts Letter at age 11, however, Zeb was so excited and jumping around that he fell from the balcony on the third floor of his mother's family home, this time there was nothing to break his fall and he managed to break his arm and a few small bones in his wrist. Thankfully they were easily healed as his mother had trained in MediWizardry before she had her children. But with five children, three of which were boys, one learns these things. Shortly after beginning Hogwarts, Zeb made the decision, like his two older brothers, that he would prefer to live with his father, the boys sick of the way that their step-father tried to get them to act 'more manly' and stop with the books (in Zeb's case) and the pranks (in his brothers' cases). Susan did not appear too disappointed given that she had her daughters to dote upon.
Zeb's years at Hogwarts were uneventful for the most part, especially given that there was a war going on for his later few years. He was a Ravenclaw and spent most of his time in his studies. When Dumbledore called for known light and neutral wizards to join the Order of the Phoenix, however, Zeb refused, choosing to remain neutral in an attempt to protect himself and his new bride. Zeb was seventeen when he first met his future wife (and future ex-wife), Louisa Von Trapp. She was a strong-willed Ravenclaw who had managed to capture his mind and heart through her talent and love for poetry and the arts. The pair had an on again off again relationship for about two years before they parted ways, the fact that Zeb was two years Louisa's senior had a little to do with this. Zeb decided that he would travel the world and, at twenty two, he set off in search of anything to do with poetry, art and the like. When he was twenty three, Zeb returned to England and he met up with his former love once more. Within the year the pair were married and things seemed good for them. Unfortunately for the pair Zeb's family did not like Louisa and shunned both of them, the relationship would never be mended.
At the age of twenty four Zeb welcomed his first son, Alekai Romeo Peyton, into the world. He could not have been happier than he was on that day. Three years later his second son, Demitri Emilio, was born and he thought that his family was complete. Two and a half more years of comfortability followed and Zeb was certain that his life was on track. He was more than wrong. Shortly after announcing her third pregnancy, Louisa left, taking their sons and leaving a note that indicated he should not try to find them and that she would be changing their names. He would not see his daughters grow up and he would not see any of his children until they started Hogwarts, under their mother's maiden name Von Trapp. When his children arrived at the school, Zeb was just beginning his teaching career. He had been named Ravenclaw Head of House and was teaching Potions. He watched with curiousity every three years as his children were sorted (Alekai into Ravenclaw, Demitri into Gryffindor, Aislinn into Hufflepuff and Effie, another Ravenclaw). Still he was unable to approach them for fear of losing them again.
At the age of fourty he is eager to get to know his children outside of the teacher-student relationship. He is not sure if they know of him and is afraid to approach them unless they think him some weird pedophile. He has written to the Ministry of Magic to see what he can do regarding custody and the releasing of their birth certificates but he is certain that his ex-wife will stop him at every turn."
THE DEMENTORS ARE HERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ?
"Zeb's worst memory, and one that often plays in his head when he is particularly upset, is the day his wife left him, taking their children with her. What made that day worse was discovering that his eldest two children's surnames had been changed and his youngest two would never bear his name, the only connection he had to them. The only memory that could compete with this is the day that his family walked out on him for marrying Louisa, a mistake he has never found a way to make up for."[/size]
BETTER GETUP A PATRONUS. WHAT ARE YOU REMEMBERING ?
"It is hard for Zeb to choose a particularly good memory but if he had to choose it would be the days that his sons were born. The proudest moments of his life."[/size]
