Early Childhood (1978-1989)
Graham Marvolo Montague is the son of William Graham Montague and Anya Worthington Montague. Conceived out of wedlock, his mother under-age at the time, his parents’ marriage was a hurried affair arranged to prevent the scandalous truth from tarnishing his grandfather’s political career (his grandfather being James Lawrence Worthington III).

Graham spent his formative years in terror of his father. For the majority of his life, he was a silent witness to the abusive treatment of his mother and sister at his father’s hands.

His mother, on the other hand, was a gentle, caring witch--without whom, his life at Montague Manor would have been unbearable. She protected him, and taught him to protect himself by controlling his emotions, occluding his mind, and play-acting (making up characters and then pretending/convincing himself that’s who he was).

On the few occasions in his young life when he attempted to intervene between his parents--Graham’s attempts were treated as disobedience and punished by his father accordingly.

Hogwarts Years (1989-1996)
At Hogwarts, being sorted into Slytherin was a foregone conclusion--given his father’s wishes; and Graham, knowing the consequences of disobedience, filled his mind with the traits valued by the House’s founder to ensure this desired sorting was achieved.

He tried out for Quidditch in his second year, in part, because he knew his father couldn’t fly a broom to save his life. And flying felt like freedom. Freedom he’d never truly had before. As it turned out, he was pretty good. In fact, good enough to make the House team in his second year, and become captain of the team in his seventh.

But as much as he liked flying, there were things about Quidditch he liked even more. There was a raw physicality to it that got him out of his head and made him feel strong, and capable, like he could do anything. And then there were the guys. Young, hot, fit, Quidditch-playing guys. There was nothing not to like.

His first crush was a beater for the Ravenclaw team--a well-muscled wizard by the name of Duncan Inglebee, who had good looks that did not stop. Smitten, Graham could not stop thinking about Inglebee over winter holidays, and forgot to occlude his thoughts while home. He spent the rest of vacation undergoing the wizarding equivalent of “aversion therapy” at the hands of his father.

As a result, he began to live something of a double life--publicly dating girls at school to prove he’d “reformed” his ways, while clandestinely meeting up with his the true flames. After graduation, he even started frequenting Muggle theaters and clubs--certain he would not run into his father there.

Following school, Graham received and accepted an offer to play as a Chaser for the Banchory Bangers

Post Hogwarts (1996-1998)
When Graham learned that the Dark Lord had returned (coincidentally, on his 17th birthday the previous year), Graham was not overly concerned. He was named for the Dark Lord, after all--and he knew his father was some high up Death Eater. Even his mother bore a Dark Mark. He figured he was pretty safe--even after his father pressured him into the Dark Lord’s service.

Mostly it was small stuff he was given to do. Lots of flying. Mostly courier work. Thankfully, he sucked at curses, and strangely, the Dark Lord seemed to believe him--or at least seemed amused when he said his father was a lousy teacher.

He kept well away from Lord Voldemort as much as possible, and the same went for most of his Death Eaters. Though he did see enough of the way his father and the Dark Lord interacted to realize that his father was intensely hypocritical about his homosexuality.

When the Dark Lord fell for a second time and his mark disappeared, Graham was quietly thrilled. When he learned his father had lost his mind, too, he was ecstatic.

Confronted with the sudden realization that he finally could do anything  he wanted with his life, he has enrolled for Fall Term at the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts--while continuing to fly for the Bangers.
