This student was a witch or magician who attended the Hogwarts school of magic and witchcraft between 1984 and 1991. His brother Jacob's expulsion from Hogwarts for endangering his classmates in his search for the cursed halls had an impact on his younger brother's first year as the protagonist of Hogwarts Mystery at Hogwarts when many other students avoided him for breaking school rules and because of his older brother who had disgraced the school. The incident was well covered by the Gazzetta del Prof
eta.Il our protagonist of the game of Hogwarts Mystery, which from now on I will call Rochy (because of the name of my character on my YouTube channel) was born into a family of wizards around 1973, grew up in a magical family that apparently resided next to or in the immediate vicinity of Babbane homes and had at least one older brother Jacob, who was between eight and sevent
een years old. During their childhood, their parents worked together to teach their youngest child, as well as their eldest son Jacob, that they could not go around flaunting their magic. In particular, the mother was strict about using magic outside of school, refusing both her children to ride a broom before they started attending school.
At one point during Rochy's childhood, a tragedy struck the family when they received an owl from Professor Albus Dumbledore, who informed them that their eldest son, Jacob, was hunting the cursed halls he was looking for and his subsequent expulsion for endangering his fellow students in his attempt to prove that they really existed. Shortly after being sent home, Jacob fled and disappeared; many believed that he had begun to serve Lord Voldemort, while other voices said that he had returned to Hogwarts after his expulsion to resume his search. His younger brother never believed the first chance.
Shortly after receiving the letter for Hogwarts, Rochy went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies where he befriended future fellow student and roommate Rowan Khanna, who came from a magical family of wooden farmers. After buying several textbooks, they went to the Ollivanders wand shop to buy their first wand: Garrick Ollivander expressed both concern and curiosity about the kind of effect his brother's choices had had on Rochy, but he couldn't wait to see what kind of life they would lead. When the shopping was over, Rochy and Rowan promised to see each other on the train.
On 1 September 1984, Rochy boarded the Hogwarts Express on track 9 and 3/4, through the magic barrier at King's Cross station. Upon arrival, he was greeted in the Great Hall by the rest of the students and teachers. Professor McGranitt proceeded to provide them with a brief explanation of the four Houses of Hogwarts: Griffin, the brave and chivalrous, the Red Bull, the kind and diligent, Black Crow, the witty and wise and Serpeverde, the cunning and the ambitious – expressing his hope that the newcomers would make beautiful additions to the ranks of great witches and wizards that every house had produced. When Rochy was called to be sorted, the Talking Hat remarked that " he had not seen one like this in a long time, and considered the choice of the house, which was the same as his brother Jacob. Later, it turned out that Rowan had been sorted in the same house.
At the end of the party at the beginning of the year, the headteacher of Rochy's house stood next to the principal, announcing to the students in their home that it was time for them to move into their common room. Once there, Rochy was reunited with Rowan and the two briefly discussed their shared excitement at finally attending school and their new home before agreeing to go to bed, as they should have been awake and early for the next morning's spell class. Since Spells
were one of the themes That Rochy was looking forward to, when they arrived at the Hall of Spells, they politely greeted the Professor of Spells, Professor Vitious. Recognizing the individual as Jacob's brother, Filius Vitious responded by claiming that he was certain that the student would do a good job, given that their older brother had been one of his most skilled students at Hogwarts before his expulsion. Nevertheless, he gently warned him not to cause trouble, adding that Jacob had been one of his most rebellious students. Later, Rochy meets Merula Snyde, an imperious and cruel Serpeverde student, who tries to intimidate Rowan by making her admit she is the most powerful witch hogwarts ever attended. Rochy tried to defuse the subject, but before he went any further, Professor Severus Snapton ordered them to enter the potion room for the next lesson. The animosity formed between Merula and our Rochy grew in that lesson, as at the end of the class, Merula sabotaged Rochy's potion produced with Bulbadox powder, which caused the potion to explode, causing them to be punished by Piton for their alleged clumsiness. Not lon
g after the accident, Rochy was introduced to Ben Copper and the Prefect of the House. The mutual dislike between Jacob's brother and Merula Snyde led to a duel, which was interrupted by the arrival of professors Piton and Vitious. Piton ordered both Merula and Rochy to arrive in the Western Towers to receive their punishment. Rochy lost points for his home side, while Merula didn't. Later, Rochy hears Severus Piton and Argus Gazza talk about the mysterious Cursed Rooms and decides to try to find them in the hope of finding their missing brother! He and his friends discovered the crushed ice, but when Merula followed them, they were forced to save it. Albus Dumbledore summoned Rochyb to come and see her, scaring him because he thought he would be expelled for his actions. On the contrary, Dumbledore awarded him a hundred points for his courage and compassion and so ends the first year at Hogwarts for Rochy Balboa.
During the second school year (1985-1986), Ben Copper disappeared and Rochy and his friends searched for him throughout the castle. As they did so, they found a note in the Artifact Room. With Rowan's help, she was deciphered, signed by someone with an initial "R" and contained instructions to locate a black pen hidden in a common room other than Rochy's, which would turn into a note with information when not configured. It was assumed that these instructions were followed by Ben and it was assumed that the note had a link to his disappearance. Rochy was puzzled, but decided to do as he said the message in the hope of finding Ben. They then managed to learn the contraction spell and traffic jam spell to enter the other house's common room by using them on themselves and sneaking unnoticed when the common room was empty, during a Quidditch match between Grifondoro and Serpeverde. In preparation for this, Rochy questioned Vitious about the consequences of using such spells on living beings, but Vitious became suspicious and strictly banned him. However, the infiltration was partially successful: Rochy found the black pen in the common room, but as he exited he was found by the corresponding School Chief, who asked Rochy and Rowan to explain their behavio
r. Shortly thereafter, Rochy transfigured the pen using Reparifarge, which turned into another note from R, instructing the reader to go into the farthest hallway at the end of the fifth floor, at which point the instructions said to re-transfigure the parchment into a black pen and put it back in the common room where it had been hidden.
Rochy chose healing of magical creatures and divination as new ex
ams! Earlier this year, Rochy was initially not allowed to attend Hogsmeade because he had broken many school rules. A professor offered to let him go if he studied hard, which he did, eventually getting permission. Once there, he went to the three broomsticks and asked Madame Rosmerta about his brother Jacob. She gave Rochy and her friends a black pen that belonged to Jacob. Using Reparifarge, Rochy turned it into a notebook by telling Rosmerta what it was about. But Gazza, who he heard by chance, grabbed the notebook and took it to his office, as ordered by Pr offendedr
Piton.With the help of Nymphadora Tonks, our Hogwarts Mystery protagonist tricked Gazza and filmed the notebook. To hide back in his office, they used the contraction spell to shrink. Rowan Khanna later deciphered the notebook and learned of a room where Jacob researched the cursed halls. The room was closed with a double lock and no spell worked against it. Rochy and another student read that the lock was owned by a Black Crow girl named Tulip Karasu and asked her for help. After testing Rochy, Tulip finally confessed that he had one of the keys to that padlock and that Merula had the other.
During the fourth school year (1987-1988), an epidemic of sleepwalking spread throughout the school due to the opening of a third and unknown cursed hall, with the victims apparently heading to the Forbidden Forest. When Rochy visited Tulip, one of the first victims of this new curse, in the infirmary, the two talked about the incident and concluded that the third room was probably located in the forest.
Rochy began to attract the attention of Madame Patricia Rakepic, a Breaker invited to school by Dumbledore. Rakepick taught them the protective spell and warned them to stay away from the cursed halls, but later changed their mind and planned to recruit them along with some of their companions to find the next room (Didn't she come to Hogwarts to prevent this? NDR). Rochy decided to investigate Rakepick and asked the professors for their opinions about her, which were mostly negative. Rakepick found out and invited him into a private conversation, in which she made him realize that he had to stop doing so, continuing to ask for the help of Rochy and his friends in the search for t
he cursed hall. At one point, Rakepick repeatedly invited Rochy and his friends, as well as his enemies Merula and Ismelda, to meet in the outside courtyard for a small competition to
elect an assistant. Mr Rochy then asked Professor Kettleburn what is the best way to go to the Forbidden Forest, who agreed to answer this question if he had studied the rods enough.
Kettleburn, after being satisfied with Rochy's study, answered his question. He said that using a broom he could reach the forest while remaining mostly unnoticed. Rochy and her friends then tried to get a broom, first asking Madama Bumb to borrow one, but she refused because of the Black Lake incident and also did not trust them. Later, they attempted to steal one from Gazza's office, but discovered that all the brooms that were there were broken. (They discovered, incidentally, another message transfigured into a black pen, which was a threat from R to Rakepick telling her to leave Hogwarts.) As a last resort, they asked another student to borrow their broom; At first the student was reluctant, but Rochy managed to convince him to borrow the broom by talking to him at the three broomsticks. Jacob's brother later went to the Forbidden Forest with the broom along with Charlie and another friend.
In his fifth year, Rochy met Penny Haywood's younger sister Beatrice, who gave him a handmade Puffskein. He then went to the Library to
talk to Bill Weasley who was studying for his G.U.F.O. exams. He taught them how to cast the prison spell and arranged for Rochy to prove it on Merula with his great displeasure (certainly, how not… NDR). That night, our Hogwarts Mystery protagonist went to meet Ben Copper in the backyard where they discussed Ben's attack last year. Before they could finish the conversation, both were confronted and attacked by another figure in a red cloak. The figure attacked them with a Curse and then repeated their earlier warning that death was coming to Hogwarts and telling them that they needed them alive and that before the end of school one of Rochy's friends would die
. Rochy was later invited to the Three Broomsticks by Merula Snyde along with Bill Weasley. The three talked about how they should start collaborating. Soon Penny Haywood came to inform them that Beatrice had disappeared! The four decided to split into pairs. Rochy and one of the three searched the red cap hole and spider's den, but couldn't find Beatrice. In the latter place, Rochy fought an Acromantula that was guarding the forbidden forest the previous school year.
Rochy got all the G.U.F.O. in Potions, Spells, Transfiguration, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, and Healing of Magical Creatures. Most likely he also got G.U.F.O. in Divination and Astronomy, two subjects that will arrive in the sixth year.
The beginning of the year of our Hogwarts Mystery protagonist has been troubled, many of his friends have changed! We have a Ben Copper who has become a sloffac, we have a Beatrice Haywood who has become a complicated teenager trying to detach herself from her siste
r! More than once Penny Haiwood asked Rochy to help her try to understand Beatrice, unnecessarily! At the beginning of the sixth year, we talk to Malocchio Moody who explains many things about cur
sed halls etc. Very soon, however, comes the new curse of this last cursed hall! The new curse petrifies the students! During the year at least 2 students are petrified. We face new challenges, Bill Weasley is teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, as this year's teacher is not good. During a lesson with Professor Cooman, we get a nefarious prophecy, so we'll talk to the Centaurs to try to translate it and discover something more. During the year we will meet the twins Weasley Fred and George and also Cedric Di
ggory.We also meet Jacob Balboa, on several occasions, but he avoids us, putting us in the guard several times by a murderer who is on our trail. We found the Rakepick Snaso, following him we found a white feather and together with Tonks, we went to look for the Royal owl to which it belongs.
Rochy is extremely compassionate and, though not as emotional as his best friend Rowan Khanna, he is very intligible. He is very talented and academically competent, being skilled in a series of magical fields, he has received much praise from most of his teachers, often responding to such praise by smiling. Thanks to
the actions of his brother Jacob, he is often the object of dislike and apprehension and has had many difficulties in making friends. He was not disappointed, in fact, Rochy never judged and always accepted those who were close to him. Rochy is a very loyal guy with his friends. He is always eager to help them, as when he helped Ben Copper overcome the fear of riding a broom and convinced him to stop isolating himself in a closet, and when he behaved as if he could see through Talbott Winger's apparent lack of desire for friendship in general. He is also brave, while opposing Merula Snyde, Severus Snape and even Fenrir Greyback, and constantly searching the cursed halls despite the teachers warning him not to. Rochy believed that in finding the halls he would acquire new knowledge and treasures, but most of his drive came from wanting to find his b
rother. Although it has never been a hallmark, Rochy had an insolent sense of humor, as when he encouraged Ben to stop isolating himself and added "… even if you may be missing the skulls." In his first year, Merula told him he wasn't wanted, and Rochy replied, "You're the one everyone would like to leave."
Jacob is his older brother. When Jacob returned home after his first year at Hogwarts, he tried to teach him all the magic he had learned at Hogwarts, but was unable to do so. When he disappeared, he was upset and was determined to find him.
"The only thing I value less than you, Rochy, is your apology. Sit down." -Severus Pi
ton.Rochy generally had a positive relationship with the Hogwarts staff, who were all impressed by his academic ability. However, he was also watched with apprehension because of Jacob, and was watched with particular apprehension for his mistakes, being forgiven often. He generally got along with Filius Vitious, though he hesitated to teach him dangerous spells. He also had a good relationship with Rubeus Hagrid and often came to his rescue. His worst relationship, inevitably, was with Severus Piton, who always treated him with contempt and often looked for reasons to make him lose points. Piton was never fair to him, as when he gave him only one point as a reward for the potion he had done very well. His best relationship was, of course, with Albus Dumbledore, who openly recognized his magical ability and treated him with nothing but respect and kindness and none of the apprehensions that other staff members had for him, to the point where he even gave him the points of the house for saving Hogwarts from three of the curses of the cursed halls. Although Dumbledore could be strict and determined with Rochy, it was for his own good and in addition to punishing him for constant detentions with Pitts, in the kitchens, he had defended him from virtually all the criticism of the staff.
Presumably well aware of the events that led to the expulsion of former Hogwarts student Jacob long before he ever met his younger brother, given his interest in the halls, Rakepick became interested in the latter for his direct experience with the Cursed Rooms, and it is known that he kept an eye on Rochy from the beginning, perhaps even before she was invited to Hogwarts by the principal. , Dumbledore Albus, to help fight the threat of cursed Halls. Although he wasted no time in soliciting the help of Rochy and their group of friends to make it his own, he sanctioned the search for the halls several times and even assured Rochy that he did not intend to harm them and was also investigating the identity of the mysterious magician who had attacked them in the courtyard of the Clock Tower after the curfew by forging a letter with Silvanus Kettleburn's calligraphy. Severus Piton, however, the Potions Master and Rakepick's former schoolmate, did not trust her at all, going so far as to say that he had further reasons to be at Hogwarts and that he was chasing the Cursed Halls for his gain, and rather perhaps he wanted to kill both them and anyone else who got in the way. Rakepick continued, however, to ask for Rochy's assistance, teaching him the shield spell to test his abilities and, getting impressive results, continued to offer himself as a guide, lent him his Snaso Slandercedolce to help him in the search for clues, and finally taught them the Spiders' repulsion spell, Aragna Exumai, to prepare him for a potential fight with the
Acroman. , however, Piton's suspicions were proved partially correct when she tricked Rochy into breaking into Argus Gazza's office for a hunt for a transfigured feather, only to creep in later and retrieve something she herself was looking for. This eventually left Rochy unsure whether or not Rakepick could be trusted or himself on the enemy's side. Rakepick redeemed himself for these assumptions, however, when he saved Rochy's life by coming to his rescue just as their attacker was about to make the coup de grace, throwing an explosive Curse so powerful that the attacker was blasted back, through almost the length of the clock tower courtyard until he pushed him against the wall, causing him to fall unconscious. After undoing the spell of disillusionment under which the striker was, it was revealed that the person in question was Ben Copper, whom Rakepick promptly carried into the castle to prevent him from injuring himself or others while Rochy chased the halls.

In the 1984-1985 school year, Rochy had visions showing Hogwarts covered in ice and animated armor. His best friend, Rowan Khanna, later said discussing the vision that "it seemed to have been some kind of prophecy," suggesting that Rochy might be a seer. Although Rowan was only a first-yearer, he could have been wrong. However, the incident with the cursed ice later suggests that Rochy could indeed be a seer. Rochy later had another vision of two unknown rooms and with Lord Voldemort, suggesting that this character was indeed a seer. He later also heard Jacob's short voice messages in his mind, which were later revealed as the result of how both had a natural gift in common, were Legilimens, suggesting that Jacob could use that ability to send Rochy vibrations, which is a similar but distinct proc
ess. In beta mode, there was a character named William. William was supposed to be the name of the player's older brother. However, each scene in which William's name was mentioned was replaced by the name Jacob in the final cut of the game.
