Stephen is what you would call an attention hog. Being an only child made him the center of his parents' attention and it has become his expectation that he becomes the center of everyone else's attention, which can be rather annoying to the people around him when he forgets to control that part of his personality. He's also rather tempermental when things don't go his way and in a leadership position, he expects everyone to understand their role in the team, which stems from his days counseling at Quiddich camp for the past two summers. He can come across as a tad bossy at times, but when his friends remind him to chill, he usually does. On the flip side though, Stephen is an adorable romantic, outgoing and extrovert, needing to draw energy from other people to bring the best out of his personality. He can be chivalrous and adorable, as well as flirtatious. While his attempts to attract the opposite gender don't always work out, he tries to bounce back and try again. He's just the kind of guy that is actually friendly and approachable on a regular basis.

"And the crowd goes wild as Lysacek goes for the Snitch! And Gryffindor wins!"

That's probably my favorite thing, right there. Having the victory at my reach and everyone cheering me on, treating me like a hero. But that's to be expected of a Lysacek, at least that's what my parents tell me. My parents were big on Quidditch in their Hogwarts years.

My mother was a Hufflepuff Beater for a couple of years while my father was the Ravenclaw Keeper for those same couple of years. They met on the Quidditch pitch and it started off as this love/hate rivalry type thing. Teenage Ryan, in all of his male macho idiocism, tells the lovely young Evelyn that girls shouldn't be Beaters because they aren't strong enough. Well, she quickly showed him! They didn't even like each other for the longest time. So they felt sparks in their seventh year, and after they left Hogwarts, they moved into a flat together and began cohabitating. My father worked at the Daily Prophet as a Quidditch correspondant while my mother played as a Beater for the Holyhead Harpies for a few years. And the rest was history. But I guess I'll never understand romance, and how a rivalry like theirs turned into love. And part of me thinks I don't think wanna know.

When I was born, my mom became a stay at home mom and took care of me. As a kid, my parents expected me to take to Quidditch like a dragon took to fire. And while my mother told me I was a bit clumsy on a broom as a young child, she kept nurturing the natural talent she knew was in me. She spent her retirement bonus putting me into Quidditch summer camps and getting me personal flight training on a broomstick when I was old enough to do so. It was funny, when I was eight and I went to my first summer camp, the counselors rigged a snitch to hide in a tree and I was the only one who found it just sitting there. And so my desire to be the best Seeker I could be started there.

Stephen knew that something was going on as a sixth year when his parents pulled him out of school and sent him to Canada to go live with some Quidditch playing relative who played for the Stormers in Stonewall, Manitoba. He was relatively detached from the Battle at Hogwarts, although he had been getting owls from friends, updating him of the situation. Once he got home, he went straight to Quidditch Camp to be a counselor and did not contact his friends. School will be his first opportunity to catch up with everyone.

After Stephen had finished his stint at Hogwarts, he'd gone off to Moose Jaw to try out for the Meteorites, leaving his best friend and former girlfriend as well as his former life behind. Though he had been struggling through his training, he'd gone to the training camp and earned his place as a reserve. Determined to live up to the hype created by his mother, the former Gryffindor Seeker's looking for some time on the pitch to prove himself.
