Personality:
Elijah has always been a good natured person. He tries to be nice to everyone and usually succeeds, unless the other party has something against him. He's accommodating nearly to a fault. Whatever his parents ask of him, he does. If it's his younger siblings, Elijah tries to do it, provided they give him a good reason. It might seem he doesn't have a backbone, but ultimately, Elijah cares much more about other peoples' needs than his own. Elijah goes with the flow. He's not one to speak up to oppose the majority.
He is also a sociable person. While he's not the sort to go up to a random stranger and talk to them, he has no problems talking if the other person initiates the conversation. Elijah is a generous person. He doesn't have an issue with paying for his friends' drinks (provided it doesn't cause him to become broke). He spoils his younger siblings and his girlfriend. He can arrive late for a lesson and when the Professor asks him why, Elijah will usually tell them that he was comforting or helping someone.
Eli has his bad points too. He's a dreamer. He'll imagine scenarios that many will tell him is impossible. Like him eventually becoming the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Or him uniting the Muggle and Wizarding world. Elijah dreams and while he occasionally works towards his dreams, there are many dreams that he has that are unfulfilled because someone told him he wouldn't make it. Elijah is one indecisive fellow. He doesn't change his mind out loud, rather, he takes a long time to make up his mind. That is why he often lets others make the decision.
BIOGRAPHY
Father: Ernie Macmillan
Mother: Lydia McLaggen
Siblings: Two younger siblings
Pets: None
Other Important People: Related to the McLaggens
General History:
Ernie Macmillan and Lydia McLaggen met at the Ministry of Magic. They were both working there and had been introduced by some mutual friends. Lydia had been a Ravenclaw, in the shadow of her much more flashy Gryffindor brother Cormac. Ernie was a Hufflepuff, well liked in his own right. These two got into a relationship soon enough. After several years of dating (Ernie says four, while Lydia says five), they got married. By then, they were both well established in their respective departments and could stay a family. They had three children.
Elijah was the eldest of the lot. He was quite an easy child to take care of. He ate his food, drank whatever he was given, drew within his drawing book. He didn't rip pages out of books or make the window glass disappear during a thunderstorm. He was a perfectly good child. There wasn't much of a gap between the siblings and there were bound to be petty fights among the children. Elijah watched as his siblings showed off their magical powers. Flowers disappeared from the vase, the lights flickered, his toy car got smashed into pieces (though that was probably because it got thrown against the wall). Elijah's parents wondered if he was a squib.
But his letter to Hogwarts came. He was a wizard, not a squib. They happily sent their son off to Hogwarts where he was sorted into Ravenclaw. He wasn't the best Ravenclaw. He certainly wasn't smart, but he tried to do his best. His first few years weren't too bad. He made friends from just about every house, and by the time he was thirteen, got himself a girlfriend. It was strange how it happened, but Elijah wasn't complaining. He liked her well enough. Elijah tried out for the Quidditch team, and after several tries, got onto the team in his fifth year. His OWLS were the most ideal, but his parents were always understanding in the fact that some people had their talents elsewhere.
For Elijah, it seemed to be Quidditch, for he was decently good at it. But really, he was good at tinkering with stuff, finding out how it all worked. But that wasn't going to be a good enough career choice, was it? At least his personal life was going well. That is, until he ruined it all by sleeping with his girlfriend's best friend. He didn't regret it, oh no. It was one of the few times he actually did something for himself. But it had consequences. His girlfriend left him, his best friend betrayed him. Or maybe he betrayed his girlfriend and best friend? All Elijah knows is that he wants to try to have everyone be on good terms again and accept the fact that he had feelings for Molly and well, Gavin obviously had feelings for his girlfriend. Or ex girlfriend.
