FOURTEEN. RAVENCLAW. HALFBLOOD.
If you recognize the name, it's doubtful that it's because you've had any interaction with Dexter Jr., but you probably have read Dexter Sr.'s name in a magazine article, or a textbook, or next to a potion name. To limit confusion, Dexter Jr. primarily goes by either "Dex" or "Junior" or whatever other unfriendly nickname you can conjure. His father is a rather famous spell-inventor, potioneer, and writer, who takes his family across the world with him, and they're a part of one of the wealthiest non-pureblooded families in the wizarding world. Dex Jr seems to have inherited this incredible intelligence - he has a muggle and magical background in education, and soared to the top of his class immediately after being sorted into Ravenclaw his first year. The teachers love his work ethic, natural intelligence, and humble and obedient attitude. His classmates love - well, picking on him. He's openly and eagerly nerdy - very enthusiastic about books and learning and the like - smaller than most, foreign, clumsy, socially awkward, quiet, you name it. This year, he's trying for the Quidditch team, which will hopefully quell some of the insults, but he's even managed to turn the sport he loves into something dorky, by memorizing all the stats, rules, etc.
friends.
In his nomadic childhood, Dex never had friendships that lasted longer than few months, and still he struggles making and establishing good relationships. He's never been very close with anyone apart from family, and so he's kind of shut himself out of the social circle. He doesn't know how to behave around people, so he doesn't; he prefers the company of books, he stays quiet around others, he never puts himself out there. However, in conversation, he is extremely sweet and polite; as a friend, he may not always know how to act, but he will certainly have your best interests at heart. He's a pretty compassionate guy like that, and he'll typically like and respect anyone who's nice and respectful to him. For the most part, however, this category will probably be filled with acquaintances more so than very close friends, but he'd love a real friend or two. Definitely there are those who share his love for Quidditch, poetry, studying, etc.
enemies.
As stated above, Dex has painted a target on himself for bullies. He's often the victim of pranks and jokes and insults, and in fear of starting trouble and calling attention to himself, he'll usually just sit there and take it, which attracts it even more. He comes off as a spoiled rich kid know-it-all, and that just feeds the fire. It doesn't help that he's small and awkward, as well. On his end, though, he wouldn't actively seek enemies; he may harbor some dislike for anyone who has insults his family, and he can't stand it when people talk about things that they don't know anything about. Although he is a halfblood, he's actively against elitists, which may earn him some enemies amongst Slytherins. In general, though, Dex needs people to slander him to no end - it really doesn't matter what for.
lovers.
Unsurprisingly, this category is completely empty. He's fourteen, and into women, but he's way too painfully shy to make any moves. He's never had a girlfriend, and any crushes, he's completely avoided because he'd prefer not to embarrass himself. Around girls he'd probably turn redder than usual and stutter even more than usual, and he's the type to fall quickly and be led around by a girl. This would probably be mostly crushes, though a relationship would be good for the poor soul.
