History:
Alston's childhood was pretty normal, except for the constant absence of his father, who is an "Unspeakable" in the Department of Mysteries. He was constantly gone, on unknown business. No one asked any questions about it and he never spoke of it. Alston's mother, Kim, raised him. She was a student a Julliard when she married his father, who was on a trip to New York for work. Thus, she instilled in Alston her love for music. He spent his early years in New York, where his mother lived and taught. His father would travel back and forth between England and America. When his sister Jade was born, his mom decided it was too much for his dad to keep having to travel, so they moved their family to England, where the now reside. His mother found a new job as a teached in a London school and they quickly settled down. Alston attended the muggle school where his mom taught until he turned 11 and was able to go to Hogwarts.
RP Example
A smile spread across Alston's small face as his fingers moved over the piano keys. It was his first solo concert. He was 6 years old. Even at that early age, his natural talent for the piano was budding. Alston closed his eyes and let the music take him away. While he was playing, he had no cares in the world. It was almost as if he didn't know there were hundreds of people watching him perform. He didn't even know they were there. As soon as his fingers touched the ivory, all his nerves disappeared and he felt at home on the bench. He played with all his might, getting to the fast part of the song. He opened his eyes here and out of the corner of his eye, he caught his mother with tears of joy streaming down her face. His fingers slowed until they finally came to a stop. He stood and took a bow as the crowd bursted into applause. A grin spread across Alston's face and he walked off stage.
***A side note: "Alston" is pronounced like "Austin" but with an "L" (I have a friend named Alston who would kill me if I didn't include this)***[/center]
