personality.
personality.
First Impression»» [/b]
Desmond is the kind of guy who is considered unpopular despite the fact he has many friends. He is very enthusiastic. If Desmond does not like you, you'll know. He will completely ignore you and snub you in front of his friends. He really looks like a jerk. The friends he does have, he would trust with his life.
Self Image»» [/b]
Desmond has to have a lot of self-confidence. His brother hates his ability to use magic and his dad is always telling how he doesn't measure up to Colin I. His mother thought him to stand up for himself in order to survive. He is a hard working individual, but does not beat himself up over his mistakes. His failures mostly come out of accidents (he has horrible luck). Desmond acts like a jerk because that is how he was taught to live. He feels bad when he hurts people's feelings accidentally.
Positive Traits»» [/b]
- Funny - He has good sense of humor, always cracking wise about his teachers. He uses this to his advantage. Desmond often plays practical jokes on people and is a valued customer of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
- Hard working - Desmond can really get things done. He is always willing to do the heavy lifting in situations that require it. At the age of eight, Des started helping around his father's bakery. He has worked there every summer. He only gives himself a break after he is sure that everything that needs to be done is finished.
- Good Memory - Desmond has above average memory. Memorizing information is child's play for him. In fact, he was investigated after he took his History of Magic O.W.L. because they believed he cheated but the investigation was droped after he re-took the test. Des always remebers birthdays, assignment due dates, and the dates of famous events.
- Enthusiastic - If there is one thing Desmond inharited from his dad, it's his enthusiasm. He'll go into any situation with a smile on his face. He can be excited about everything from scoring a point in Quidditch to toast. If he is going to do something, he thinks he might as well be excited about it.
- Loyal - If you have made friends with Desmond, congratulations. You just got a friend who will stick with you for the rest of your life, if you let him. He'll take a bullet for you any day of the week, and only asks that you'd do the same for him.
Negative Traits»» [/b]
- Hapless Romantic - Though this trait has been dulled through out the years, Desmond expects way too much out of a relationship. He thinks every girl he dates could be "The One" and is cruhed when he finds out they don't like him. Des realizes what the world is like but still dreams for something imposable.
- Defensive - When ever Desmond is asked a question, he thinks it is an interrogation. You hit him, he will hit you for the next two weeks. Why take a blow to your honor? He is almost defensive enough to be considered paranoid.
- Insulting - Another part of Desmond's upbring is that if you look at him the wrong way, he will verbally tare you a new one. He can point out flaws in people and exploit them when he feels threatened.
- Alcoholic - He really is. Des only says he is a "alcohol enthusiast" but that is an understatement. You can usually see him with a martini in hand explaining the "meaning" behind songs. He chose alcohol as his poison because it was the substance he had the easiest access to.
- Bad Luck - Bad luck seems to follow Desmond where ever he goes. If he find ten gelleons on the ground, he loses twenty. The only place where this doesn't apply is in Quidditch.

Distinctive Features»» [/b]
When his hair isn't dyed, Desmond looks quite a bit like Colin Creevey so Desmond does what ever he needs to to separate himself from his dead uncle. He started dying his hair back in his third year. Des has a scar on his left shoulder from when a bludger hit him. He also has a scar on the top of his head when he fell down a stairwell drunk.
Dress Style»» [/b]
Dirty Mod. He wares suits and dresses fancy, but is still working class at heart. He only has one suit which he uses contently. Des uses a black tie. When out of his suit, he wares sweaters which have patches sewn on to them usually of Quidditch teams and bands he likes (Gogol Bordello, The Beat, The Who).

Favorite Classes»» [/b]
Des loves History of Magic. The best way to stop mistakes is to learn from past ones. He also likes Muggle Studies despite the fact he has a Troll in it. He says he diapperated his research paper, but this is a lie.
Hated Classes»» [/b]
He hates Potions. Oh how Desmond hates potions. He once poured margarita mix in Professor Contresze's example he was showing the class. Desmond also hates Charms. He just doesn't like it. Plain and simple.

Past»» [/b]
- In order to understand how Desmond was brought up, you must look back at his father's life. Dennis Creevey never quite got over his brother's death. He drifted uneventfully through his last four years of Hogwarts and married long time girlfriend Natalie McDonald. He decided to open a bakery in Diagon Alley and rented an apartment above it.. His first son, Colin, was born on August 2, 2003. To the happy family's dismay, Colin was a squib. Dennis and Natalie tried again and nine months later, on May 2, 2004 (the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts), Desmond was born.
- Desmond had a hard childhood. For his first year he was sickly and needed to be put in St. Mungo's, sliding the family more and more into debt. He got better but the family still had serious financial problems. They always had to work to survive. He was able to get some free toys from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. By the time Des was three, his brother had realized that he was a Squib and this strained their relationship. His mom told him to stand up for himself, no matter what. As Desmond grew older, his dad noticed the similarities between Des and Colin I and became more critical of the deferences. Following his mother's advice, he stood up for himself (in his eyes) and talked back to his father. Des made no friends during this time. When he turned ten, luck finally shown down on Desmond. While delivering an order for his dad, he ran into a vagrant. The hobo said his name was Thadeus Foghorn and that he was once a famous musician. Feeling that it was time to move on, Thadeus gave Des his Saxophone and an old Nimbus 1700 broom, both of which Des still uses.
- On Desmond's eleventh birthday he received his letter to attend Hogwarts. Des worked all he could to help his family come up with the funds. He worked every day until he left to go to Platform Nine and three-quarters. The Sorting Hat told him that he had much courage but that he needed to work on his social skills. The Hat placed him in Hufflepuff (I have this reserved). He originally did not have many friends with the exception of his bunk mate. In his third year he decided that he would make his life more interesting. He became more sociable. Des tried out for Quidditch as a Beater but was knocked off his broom. He tried out again as a Chaser and got in. By the time of his fifth year, Desmond had partially repaired his relationship with his father and had done an extraordinary job on his O.W.L.S. But the stress got to Des and he started drinking more. He is now ready to face his sixth year and change his life even more.
