Magnus Thiney

• Head of Pest Advisory Board as of 1999
  
• 36 as of the declaration of the Second War (Technically Harry Potter’s 6^th year)
• Ravenclaw Alumni
• Muggleborn

Magnus is not a fan of pests – and he’s not a fan of being considered one, either. He takes extreme issue with those who think being ‘pureblood’ somehow makes you better at being human, because from what he’s seen, it just makes you worse at it. And if being a good wizard means being a terrible human, well. Magic just isn’t everything, is it? 

Though not officially inducted, Magnus did all he could for suspected supporters of Dumbledore and might have joined the Order had anyone seen fit to approach him. As it was, he served as much aid to the resistance as he could manage, and during the Ministry Purge, aided several of his colleagues out of the country. 

Despite his own status, he refused to leave and as a result of his open defiance, lost his wife and son while he was on trial. His home conveniently attacked during that time, despite the change on the docket for it. He is, as a result, incredibly cranky with Severus’ acquittal and tends to take his frustration at his lot in life out on the man, despite the considerable evidence of how hard Severus worked for the war effort. 

He’s the only Death Eater Magnus knows, and so he’s the outlet for all the hurt and vitriol he feels. For his part, Severus bears it because the fight in him is long gone, and he understands the need in those who still have it, to find a target.
