Background (AU!Canon; HP): Marshall Lee’s story is one of not so typical boy-meets-girl-girl-turns-boy-into-vampire. Born in 1817 in the textile district of Lancashire England, he was the only son of a poor cotton mill worker mother and an enterprising young wizard father. Marshall’s father however left shortly after he was born and he and his mother had to fend for themselves.
Around the age of ten, Marshall’s magical abilities began to manifest. He tried his best to hide them as to not upset his mother. Unfortunately she found out when his letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrived. At first, his mother was a bit distraught to realize that her son had taken after his father but after a lot of pleading on Marshall’s end she finally let him attend.
Once at Hogwarts Marshall began to finally realize that in the Wizarding world he stuck out. Not only did he have a limited knowledge of the Wizarding world itself but being poor didn’t help him much either. A lot of kids were mean to him and as a result he began acting out in school, often ending up in detention for being disruptive, insubordinate or for some form of mischief or another. The one thing that he truly enjoyed about school and actually put effort into was the music program. Marshall ended up having a natural talent for stringed instruments and for singing. The music professor at the time, hoping to install any kind of discipline in Marshall, gave him a guitar to take home over breaks and practice with. (Which he still has in safekeeping to this day)
Unfortunately for Marshall this brief time of peace was about to come to an end. At the beginning of his fifth year he was expelled from Hogwarts for fighting with another student and causing the other student to be sent to the hospital wing. Marshall himself didn’t really care much but he didn’t want to put any additional financial stress on his already overworked mother so he left Hogwarts and home both and took to the road in both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds. He earned a meager living by playing his guitar on the streets and playing in taverns in exchange for a meal or boarding. All of this changed however once he met Ashlynne one evening in a run down tavern. Marshall had been playing that evening when the pretty girl with the long blond hair and pale skin caught his attention. After his set, she boldly went up to him and introduced herself and they spent the rest of the evening talking for hours. Sparks flew and from that began a whirlwind romance. He fell and he fell hard. After some time passed Ashlynne revealed her true nature to Marshall and begged him to let her turn him so they could be together. Not really thinking about the consequences he readily agreed and the deed was done. At first things were fantastic. Ashlynne taught Marshall all he needed to know about being a vampire and what abilities they had. As time went on though, he began to see Ashlynne for what she really was, a vicious and selfish person who had little to no regard for anyone but herself. Marshall would at least try to feed on criminals and lowlifes but Ashlynne would gleefully feed off of anyone anytime though Muggles were her choice of victim due to their general ignorance of vampires. He found himself becoming increasingly disgusted with her behavior and began making an escape plan behind her back. The last straw and the way out for him came when she told him she didn’t want him to bother with his music anymore. That night when the separated to go hunting, he quietly left town and Ashlynne behind. Once he made his escape, he began traveling and playing his music again trying to maintain a semblance of a regular life and at the same time manage to lie low on other vampire’s radar. Over the next hundred and seventy-some odd years he began doing things such as saving money and making a permanent and hidden residence for himself in The Fens. Having experienced the birth of rock and roll and grunge and loving it, he continued playing in small clubs and venues with various bands throughout the years. Unfortunately for Marshall he was about to go back on every vampires radar due to an unfortunate incident of a Muggle happening upon one of his feedings in a relatively small town. Mass hysteria ensued and headlines about “Vampires are real!” began popping up in Muggle newspapers throughout the county. A long time contact of his suggested that he go into hiding from both the Muggle and vampire population for a while. Marshall had spent so much time in the Muggle world it didn’t even occur to him to look for help in the Wizarding world. He fled to Diagon Alley and after wandering around there for a while he eventually gathered information on the safest places around. It was generally agreed upon by all that he spoke to that Hogwarts was the safest place any Wizard could ever be. Marshall further discovered who the new Headmaster of Hogwarts was and sent a letter asking if he might be given sanctuary temporarily until he could find other arrangements. Dumbledore wrote back agreeing on the condition that Marshall had to finish the education at Hogwarts that he started and that he must take potions to control his bloodlust. Marshall accepted these terms and thus resumed his education at Hogwarts.
