Born on the 23rd of July, 1978, Graham Dominic Montague was the apple of his mother's eye and his father's pride and joy. From early in his life the young Montague insisted on being called Dominic (or variants of) by his family because he wanted a name of his own rather than be the sixth Graham Montague running about. This independent streak was always instilled into Dominic and to this day he insists on doing things his way rather than copy everyone else.

His childhood was fairly average for someone growing up in a traditional pureblood household. He never wanted for anything but he wasn't exactly spoiled either. Dominic's father was a Ministry worker in the Department of Magical Games and Sports and often took the boy to Quidditch matches when he could get tickets. Dominic instantly fell in love with the sport and became very dedicated to learning all he could about it.

At age eleven, Dominic got his Hogwarts letter and was quickly sorted into Slytherin because of his determination to do anything to achieve his goals - which at the time was to make his parents proud and to one day join a professional Quidditch team. He was utterly gutted to learn he'd have to wait a whole year before he was allowed to play because of the no first years allowed to play rule.

It was at school Dominic got to know his cousin, Marcus Flint, a little better. They weren't particularly close growing up because Marcus' mother (Dominic's father's little sister) had died well before Dominic was born and the Montagues and the Flints went their separate ways, especially after Leopold Flint remarried. But they at least acknowledged each others existence - unlike their fathers.

In Dominic's second year he made the Slytherin Quidditch Team as a starting Chaser. He was on the team up until his final year, when he was appointed as Captain after Marcus had left school. He loved playing and would do anything for the win - including causing penalties.

In the 1993-94 school year (Dominic's fifth), Adrian Pucey, a fellow Chaser on the team became shirty toward him because Pucey had been dropped as a starting Chaser. Pucey believed the only reason Dominic was still on the Team was because he was Marcus' cousin. A reason Dominic utterly denies. Even though Dominic brought Pucey back into the starting line-up when Quidditch started again in the 1995-96 school year, the animosity was still there.

During Dominic's last year at school, Umbridge was present and he was a member of her Inquisitorial Squad upon her insistence. She had told him to join the Squad because if he didn't she'd cancel Quidditch - which was utterly unthinkable in Dominic's eyes. With the position came the power to give detentions and confiscate items that weren't allowed in the school. He received orders from Umbridge to investigate the pranks being pulled against her and discovered it was the Weasley Twins using banned items in the school. While trying to confiscate said items, the Twins pushed him into the Vanishing Cabinet, where he was trapped for a day - still able to hear goings on inside Hogwarts and Borgin and Burke's, where the other cabinet was located.

He eventually was able to escape the cabinet by apparating out of it, despite not obtaining his apparation license yet. However, the apparation was near fatal when he splinched several of his inner organs during the escape and ended up lodged in a fourth corridor toilet. Luckily Madam Pomfrey was able to heal him but he was left in a disorientated state for weeks afterward. Since the event, Dominic can't stand to be in small enclosed places and he avoids crowded rooms or anywhere that he'd start to feel claustrophobic.

Despite being in the Hospital Wing for most of April and May, Dominic was still able to take his NEWTs. The Board of Directors at the school allowed him to sit them at a later date because of the incident and he passed with As in three of his subjects and an E in Charms. He also got his apparation license that summer.

After graduation, Dominic decided to move to Australia, just to get away for a while. His parents had become increasingly over protective since the incident so he wanted the freedom being away from it all gave him. While there he tried out for the Woolongong Warriors as a Chaser and earned a year long contract with them. However, the contract has now run out and Dominic has decided not to renew it, deciding it was time to come home and try his luck in the British and Irish Quidditch League, but because it's midway through the season, he'll have to wait till after mid-season break to even get a look in at getting a start.
