Name: Harrison Neal Grant
Nicknames: Harry (always Harry with his mates), Chaos Whisperer
Age: 22 (b: 1st February 1990)
Blood: pureblood
Appearance: Harrison is tall and thin standing at an even 6 foot, he has some definition mind you, but otherwise he is all legs and arms. His style is decidedly like is personality, laid-back almost to the point of laziness, with a massive dollop of hipster and a dash of artsy. The first thing people notice about him, other than his affinity for cool sunglasses, punk-leather jackets, and plaid shirts is his great hair. He has messy dark brown hair and dark brown eyes to match.
Personality: Harrison is one of those really easy-going, laid-back individuals that let every bad day ride off his back like water. Sure he likes to complain sometimes, but at least he has reason to most days. He is very hard-working but in a subtle way. He appears lazy, and sometimes he actually is quite physically lethargic constantly asking others to get him something when it’s right across the room he just doesn’t want to get up to get it. Harrison has this wicked cool vibe about him. his charismatic aura is subtle. It isn’t flashy or garish, but simple and quiet. He is warm, amiable and easy to talk to and therefore people are drawn to him. His dry wit and sarcasm can sometimes come across as cynical and misanthropic but really it’s just his sense of humour, he is a very happy person and likes everyone. As a bartender he has the patience of a saint. Literally, he sometimes gets annoyed with people, particularly stupid people, but has been known to talk a person down from having fights and so much more. It has been said that he is the chaos whisperer, and can defuse any situation with a calm word or a joke. His friends all say he should have either become a psychiatrist or a social worker because he can deliver bad news in a way that makes it sound like a gift.
Background: Grew up in a small town in Scotland. With two brothers and one little sister, his mum always working Harrison takes care of the household. The old man, his father Nelson Grant died four years ago and he has helped out ever since. Truth be told he helped out a lot when his father was ill, and was the one to find him dead in his chair one day. Harrison never talks about it. Katherine Grant (nee Shannon), his mother is always busy waitressing and working at her other secretary job at the Ministry.
Harrison graduated from Hufflepuff with top marks. He started working for the Ministry in the Transportation Department where he met his good friend Ethan. He still works at the Ministry during the day, gets off just in time to pick up his sister from ballet practice or brothers from their chess game or football match respectively, cook them dinner, take a nap and go off to his bartending job. He doesn’t get much sleep to say the least, but then he never been much of sleeper and has always been a night owl. Once a week he plays with his band, well truthfully he would call it Noah Coulson’s band, Harrison just plays drums. He can also play bass guitar (Elliot’s position) if need be. He is sort of a musical genius, one of those people who can play anything on the piano by ear, can bust out playing the saxophone as if he was taught yesterday, cello, or mixing some electronica on a computer or keyboard. He has the gift of great rhythm, and will be backup vocals if need be but he really prefers sticking with the instruments, not that he has a bad voice mind you but Harry doesn’t like being anywhere near center stage. Truth be told he wouldn’t know what he would do if they ever made it big, but seeing as they can’t even agree on a name yet it is safe to say they might never get out of his garage.
Harrison gets on well with Noah; they have bonded over their respective similarities. Like Noah, Harry would never complain about his situation or his family, but it’s nice to talk to someone who understands what he’s going through. Sometimes he just has this urge to drop everything and run away, rush off to some tropical paradise with reckless abandon. Actually he much prefers the desert or skiing so snow would do perfectly well, but that is beside the point. On a number of occasions Harry has driven his mum and siblings on small, much lesser vacations. They are a very close-knit family, and he is very protective of his brothers and sisters as is his mum is protective of him.
Characteristics: Harrison has a tendency to ramble sometimes, often nonsensically. When he is nervous it become worse, usually around a girl he fancies. He has had this problem with Ally Bennett for years, the girl is intoxicating! And he’s a bartender, he has seen intoxication. At other times he can be perfectly quiet and content. In fact most people wonder sometimes if he speaks more than two words at a time. Those who don’t know him that is. He is an exceptional listener, or shoulder to cry on, and gives really good hugs. Give him sugar and he’s ecstatic, like a goofy child. There is no dare too ridiculous or daring for him. For being so ridiculously laid-back and lazy he is actually a really organised person, as he likes to say, “Well you have to be if you want to be as lazy as I am,” in a joking manner.
Other: He smokes quite often when out of the house, more than he should, but does a really good job of hiding it from his mother and his siblings, not wanting them to take up the bad habit and knowing his mum would be furious with him since their Dad died of cancer, and he didn’t even smoke or do anything so reckless with his health.
