He was the Slytherin Chaser that was team captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team the year Draco Malfoy bought his way into the seeker position. He had really big crooked teeth and and a bad attitude. He helped Draco try to scare Harry during a Quidditch match by dressing up as a dementor. He was even held back an extra year because he didn't have the grades to graduate on time. After graduation, he disappeared. Nothing more was said about him, and no one knows what happened to him.
But now we do....
JB caught up with Marcus as an older man.
It turns out that Marcus did the unthinkable for a Slytherin, and fell in love with a muggle named Rosemary. She was a florist who ran a small, portable flower kiosk.
He really liked her, When Marcus realized he wanted to marry Rosemary, He was terrified Voldemort would find him, so he had an orthodontist fix his teeth, which drastically changed his appearance, and went underground. Literally. He married Rosemary, who didn't know anything about him being a wizard, and spent the next 45 years masquerading as a muggle train conductor in the London Subway system.
Marcus and Rosemary had a son. We are not sure of his name yet, but his wife's name is Hazel. they have 3 children. The son did not display any magical abilities growing up, and so Marcus was able to hide is secret for quite awhile. But then, Hazel started coming around, and Marcus realized right away she was from a wizarding family, most likely a descendant of a Weasly somewhere, with that ginger hair and all. It was only when the grandchildren began demonstrating magical abilities that Marcus decided to come clean, and tell his wife and son about his past.
Now, with his eldest grand daughter getting ready to receive her letter to Hogwarts, Marcus decided it was time to move the family back to the family home. It has been abandoned for a loooong time, and is basically in ruins. It will need a ground up restoration. We have been told there used to be a ghoul in the attic, and probably a house elf or two around, but we haven't seen them yet.
Marcus would like to contact the house elves so he could have them help with the house, but he can't seem to remember their names.
Maybe you can help him remember?
