HISTORY: Sydney Hopkins gets his tendency to be a bit of a starry eyed “lover” earnestly. His father Wayne was always a total romantic with little on his mind other than true love and wooing the girl of his dreams. Like father like son, Mr. Hopkins spent his youth falling head over heels for at least a dozen girls that he was just sure were the ‘one.’ As a head-in-the-clouds Hogwarts graduate, Wayne spent the summer traveling to “find himself.” But of course, as usual it was just a quest for great love. And as usual, he found a beautiful blonde girl who he just knew was destined to be his soulmate. There’s was a whirlwind romance, and before Wayne could even blink, they were married and expecting a child.
There was just one issue. Wayne fell so in love so fast, that he forgot a big issue: his blue-eyed darling, Sarah, was a muggle. She was six months pregnant before he even seemed to remember it was a discussion they would need to have. Unable to sort out just how to do it, he left the conversation feeling they would have some time. It was still three months until the baby was born, and after that very few wizarding children started presenting their abilities very early on. He’d rather enjoy bliss than complicate it with tough discussions. Plus, it wasn’t as if the eventual reveal could change anything, right? He and Sarah were deeply in love.
Little Sydney turned out to be an exception. He was certainly his mother’s child with a brilliant crop of golden hair right from birth, but he was more unmistakably his father’s son. That is to say, it was apparent he was a wizard from just a few short months. Things began happening. The kind of little things common in magical households. Sometimes objects tended to gravitate around Sydney. His crib slats would fall out with no one touching them. The animals on his mobile would dance jigs, though there was no motor in it. His mother was terrified. She thought there was something wrong with the baby. That he was possessed. She grew afraid to even hold him, despite his adorable chubby appearance and giggling laughter.
Finally, Wayne desperate for her to understand and love their son as much as he did found it in himself to tell his wife the truth about himself and what Sydney would be. When the conversation was over, it was over. Or else soon after, it was over. Sarah holed up in her room for days afterward, and when she emerged she cowered from her husband and didn’t want to see her child. She’d called her parents to come collect her. She just couldn’t do it. With one last kiss to both men, she left. The divorce papers arrived within days, and little Sydney was left with no mum.
Of course, he doesn’t remember those dark days. His father’s broken heart, or the sudden absence of his mother. His father prefers it that way, because the baby was miserable and sad without it’s mother. It was infant Sydney’s sorrow that pulled Wayne out of his own. He knew he had to carry on living and be happy for the boy. And like was in his nature, not much time passed with him as a single father before he had found another woman to be the love of his life. Sydney wasn’t even quite one yet when Tracy Davis and her children entered their lives.
Recently divorced with a brood of four already and living with her parents, Wayne saw Tracy as the perfect ‘damsel in distress.’ This time he took things a bit slower, well slow for him, and they weren’t married until several months after Sydney’s first birthday. Since she took to his child so well, being a mother to a lot of small tots, the newlyweds decided it was best that he never that Tracy wasn’t his mother. He would of course have to be told when he got older that his older siblings had a different father, since they were all keeping ‘Goyle’ as their surname. But that didn’t mean he had to know his own mother abandoned him because she saw him as a freak. No, instead history would be fudged over and he would be raised to believe that he was the first baby of Wayne and Tracy’s marriage – closely followed by another sister two years later.
Sydney had a very happy childhood in this state of ignorant bliss about his parentage. Most of the time he seemed to get along with his older siblings, and he doted on his little sister. He was attached to his mother very closely, but it was more his father he always seemed to have the special bond with. They had very much in common, and though his father seemed to try hard to make all the children feel loved, even at a young age Sydney could tell for some reason he was ‘favored’ by his old man. As these things can do, all of the coddling from his parents did lead to Sydney being a bit spoiled in many aspects.
He’s not an insufferable prat, but there are selfish aspects many people in his Hufflepuff house can notice. He might be a good team player and unafraid of toil, but he’s also possessive of things he sees as his own and a great lover of attention. Ever since hitting puberty, he prefers attention of the female variety. He’s quite the little Romeo with the ladies of Hogwarts – employing his father’s tricks of showering his love interests in poetry, gifts, and undying declarations. Of course, it often ends in heartache and with him sulking about a sibling looking for comfort.
Both for his hair and his thirst for glory bright enough for people to shower him with more attention, Sydney is often referred to as the “Golden Boy.” He thinks its friendly nickname, but at times it’s used mockingly by those his slightly egocentric nature can annoy. He’s really a very sweet boy with an old soul and optimistic heart, but can come across as very high maintenance. He prefers his tea just so, and doesn’t like it when others borrow his books without asking. He expects others to show the same kindness and manners he shows, and when that doesn’t happen he can sulk about a bit. Of course girls are an exception with him. Nothing the fairer sex does can ever seem to irritate him. Despite his father’s adoration of him, he always seemed to be a big mama’s boy and was drawn to his older and younger sisters more than his brothers. That has perhaps shaped his opinion that ladies can do no wrong.
