HISTORY:
Donovan was born as Donovan McCalaghan in Fairfield Ireland, to single mother Diana McCalaghan. Growing up, there wasn't much to be said that was particularly different, save for one thing. His mother Diana, very aware of Fenrir's identity as a werewolf, took it upon herself to tell him many horror-stories about the man. For years later, this would create a prejudice against others like him.
At the age of 6, Donovan began experiencing the changes, which prompted a visit from the department for the regulation and control of magical creatures. They explained to Donovan and Diana the nature of his "affliction" and what measures the two would need to take that ensured neither would be harmed during the process of any monthly transformations. Typically, the werewolf would be set loose into the wilderness at night, after first imbibing wolfsbane potion to ensure that he didn't attack any unknowing humans, and the following morning there would be a report of a missing goat, horse, or other type of livestock.
By the time he was 11 years old, the boy would receive his letter to Hogwarts. Ecstatic at the prospect of becoming a wizard Donovan studied extremely hard his first couple of years at the school. Upon reaching the school, it turned out, that the ministry only recognized Donovan by the name of Donovan Greyback, rather than McCalaghan, as his mother wasn't a wizard. The boy wasn't sure if this was the actual case, botched paper-work, or some blood-supremacist trying to keep "muggle names" out of the system, but neither the young wizard or his mother attempted to fight it.
Like any other student, Donovan was quite nervous about the sorting, and certainly less-than sure which house he would be placed into. But, when he heard the hat announce "Gryffindor!!" Donovan knew, inside, that it never could have been any other.
During the second year, though, the sport of Quidditch caught his attention and enthralled the young wizard to learn as much as he could about the sport, hoping that he could play it professionally. As his academic career went on further, Donovan maintained his good studying habits and even began practising with a broom and handling the balls for quidditch.
Of course, not all his time at the school had solely been dedicated to study and quidditch. A good portion was spent on him getting into trouble, and many have said that Donovan was likely responsible for losing just as many house points as he had gained, through the trouble that he was prone to getting into and the performance in class, respectively. As a somewhat social student, Greyback has managed to garner a couple of friends at Hogwarts, and now simply looks forward to trying for the house quidditch team.
