personality
likes:
I enjoy girls, that's a given. Flirting and getting what I want. I also enjoy Quidditch and the store Honeydukes. I've got quite the sweet tooth when it comes to candy (and girls.) I like the idea of a pureblood society but I don't go around spewing hate over muggleborns. I'm not cruel. So along with all of that I also enjoy summer, parties, Slytherin house, and the company of others.
dislikes:
While I don't outright hate all muggleborns, I don't particularly like them. That also goes for Gryffindors. I hate spoiled, rotten, stuck ups who think they know everything and are entitled to everything. I also hate being called a hypocrite. I know, right? I also don't like vegetables, pumpkin juice, cancelled Quidditch matches, and losing.
erised:
Hands down, my number one goal is to be a beater for Puddlemere United.
amortentia:
I love the smell of vanilla, girls' perfume, and fudge.
boggart:
Don't tell anyone but... I'm a little afraid of another evil rising to power. I don't know where I'd stand. I'm afraid of being forced into a position or being tortured or anything like that.
overall personality:
I was born and raised in a high class, wealthy, pureblood family. So, I was kind of raised to get what I want when I want. I'm a poor loser, and it shows when I dont get what I want. But I've learned to be manipulative over the years in order to get those things I want. I'm pretty sly and cunning when it comes to sneaking around and getting what I want. Hey, they didn't put me in Slytherin house for no reason! Buuut I will say, I'm a littlte stuck up. Growing up the way I did can do that to a person. However, I hate being called a hypocrite. Some people thing I am because I hate stuck up Gryffindors and Ravenclaws who think they can get whatever they want. People tell me that makes me a hypocrite? Yeah, right.
I'm not a bad guy, though. I like to have fun, and boy do I know how. I'm not into pulling pranks or anything like that. That's childish Gryffindor stuff. Nah, I'm more into the partying kind of fun, if you know what I mean. Girls and firewhiskey? Now that sounds like a party. I'm good with people... as long as I like them. I'm pretty funny so it has always been easy for me to get along well with others. Especially if I crack a joke to win them over. Works every time. Oh, and I'm not some lady-swooning maniac like Potter. I treat the ladies right. When I get one, I stay with one and treat her how she deserves to be treated. My parents raised a gentleman and not some dog.

personal history
mother:
Ophelia Helvitius, 57, ex healer.
father:
Ferguson Helvitius, 57, ex Head of Department of Mysteries
siblings:
____ Helvitius, 30, occupation not known by Mat
pets:
Black and grey spotted owl named Bruce.
history:
Ferguson Helvitius had been a loyal support and double agent for Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War. The only reason he was able to uphold a position of power as the Head of Department of Mysteries was under the Ministry rule of Thicknesse because of Helvitius' loyalty to Voldemort. However, when the Voldemort regime was defeated, Ferguson claimed he was under the Imperius Curse during their reign. Ferguson had not committed any crimes, other than being loyal to Voldemort, so he got away with his position still in hand. Ferguson and Ophelia were both practically in their thirties during this time, so they had both already been married and had had one child. Both were pureblood, and both had been Slytherin. Ferguson's loyalty to the Dark Lord was just much stronger than his wife's, who was a healer at St. Mungo's during the war. Ferguson could thank his wife after the war, for begging him to never commit any crimes or follow Voldemort in his army of Death Eaters. So, Ferguson stayed within the walls of the Ministry. Where he would inevitably be safe.
Not many people were left to tell the Ministry law officials of Ferguson's loyalty to Voldemort, so to this day he has gotten away with it. He forbids any talk of those times, of course. He would rather pretend they never happened.
Ferguson and Ophelia had been married in 1991, the two having graduated Hogwarts in 1982. They welcomed their first son in 1992. After the War was done and over with, the Helvitius family lived a happy and normal life. They lived in London, close to where both Ophelia and Ferguson worked, and when their son came of age, he was off to Hogwarts. Years later, their son was halfway through his schooling when the Helvitius family got a surprise. Ophelia was pregnant... at forty-one. While this came as a shock and the family had not been planning for another child, Ferguson and Ophelia were happy to add another child to the family regardless. And so Mathieu Jamie Helvitius was born.
Being very wealthy from the long and pureblooded Helvitius family name (and quite young for such older parents,) Matty was very spoiled as a child. He got what he wanted on most occasions simply because his parents did not have the time or patience anymore to deal with a screaming child. But, they quickly found that if Matty did just get what he wanted, he would be a very happy young boy and cause no trouble at all. This would of course become a problem in his later years, as he would still expect to get everything he wanted exactly when he wanted it. And with having no one near his age in his family, Matty was often left feeling quite alone. He was never close to his older brother, who was fourteen years older than him. He just knew him to be quite rude and stuck up (much like Matty would grow up to be.) So much of Mathieu's childhood was spent alone. It was a joyful time for him when he finally got his letter and went of Hogwarts.
To no one's surprise, he was sorted into Slytherin. His parents were still proud and sent him gifts through the mail, of course. But Matty still grew very distant from them, despite their attempts. Matty quickly made friends, realizing he was good at being around others. He had actually learned about Quidditch through a friend, and felt a little betrayed that his father had never told him about it - for it seemed like all of the other pureblood boys' fathers had told them about Quidditch and even bought them brooms. The summer after his second year, Mathieu approached his father and asked for a broom. He was expecting his father to laugh or say no, but he simply asked his son "what kind?" To which Matty did not know how to answer. He wasn't expecting that response. Frustrated that his son had no answer, Ferguson went out and bought his son the best broom he could find. While elated, Matty was slowly starting to realize that his parents would just give him whatever he wanted to keep him distracted and quiet.
Mathieu would learn to get over this. He tried out for the Quidditch team his third year as a Chaser, but after a stunning performance of dodging and hitting a bludger with his own broomstick, he was put on the team as a Beater. Once again, his family was proud (no word from his older brother,) and they sent him gifts. It was around this time that Matty realized that he was beginning to not care much about his family. They showered him in gifts, sure, but they never really showed any real sort of affection. Their actions of spoiling their son also left him a little rotten, for now Matty is a little expectant when it comes to getting things and believes he deserves everything. He doesn't realize that this comes from just having everything handed to him while growing up, but he suspects.
Like his father before him, however, Mathieu fears a higher power. Evil, to be more exact. While Ferguson feared following behind Voldemort directly, he was still loyal. Mathieu knows at least this much of his family, and is curious to know where they would stand if another evil was to rise up. And considering everything that has happened recently, that doesn't seem like a farfetched thing to be pondering. Matty is afraid of evil and power, and fears that if faced with the choice between good and evil... he would choose evil simply out of fear.
