Alex Steel-Weasley

Backstory

I never was particularly talented at magic, or grades, or Quidditch, or anything that comes to mind to be honest. I was mediocre I'd say. So when the Sorting Hat placed me into Slytherin, well, that was a shock. I mean, it's supposed to be a house for great people. Not only that, I am a Weasley! The first to be sorted outside Gryffindor and into Slytherin out of all. My grandfather send me a letter of disappointment, as if I had failed this "test" on purpose. My sister had a hunch though. She always said that I am too cold and calculating to be a Hufflepuff or a Gryffindor, not smart enough or even hardworking enough to be a Ravenclaw, and I wouldn't move an inch from the coach to help or do anything for anyone else other than myself. But I guess I do have some talent, I am good with reading people. Don't want to brag but I have a pretty damn good instinct, I can tell when someone is lying to me or if they are hiding something, or what they really feel. Most of the time I don't really care, I am quite apathetic about others, I only use this gift when I can gain a benefit for myself. Hmm, yeah that seems a bit cunning, I guess the hat was right afterall.
