Pet: No official pets, although there is a certain Stag in the Forest who has taken a liking to Cody.
Background: Cody was born into a middle-class pure-blooded family. His mother and father were not of the snotty breed of people, both having been in Hufflepuff. He, and his parents were forced to move to the United States, where his grandmother's health was ailing. Soon after their move to Minnesota, Eunice died, leaving her son Rupert with everything she owned. Cody and his family stayed in the states, long enough to settle everything, then moved back to Mother England. Cody was ten at the time they returned to England, and fully expected his letter from Hogwarts the very next month, seeing as they arrived in October of his tenth year. He would turn eleven the next month.
Young Master Thorne did, indeed have his letter from Hogwarts come the next month, and he attended the school the very next september. When Cody put the Sorting Hat on, it immediatly cried, 'Hufflepuff!'. The young man was quite happy, having come from a long line of Hufflepuffs.
Throughout Cody's school career, he had plenty of friends. But no girls seemed to take a liking to him. He was often the odd ball. Over the Christmas of his second year, he would make history, soon enough. That was when he was given his first prophecy. It was, ofcourse to his favorite of the teachers, Professor Merrythought. Merrythought told then HeadMaster, Professor Dippet about Cody's gift, and Dippet exclaimed him a Seer.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Cody worked for the Ministry for a while, in the Department of Secrets. He was soon, persuaded however to come to Hogwarts and teach Divination. Professor Thorne has been at Hogwarts for around twenty years now. Having a prophecy every now and then.
Personality: Cody is a wonderful person. Although he if very friendly, the man has an odd side, as well. He often has mood swings, nothing too violent, of course. At times he is one of the most gregarious of the teachers, and the next, he will lock himself up in his tower, leaving everybody to themselves. The latter of the mood swings don't happen very often, but usually signal a prophecy. He is one of the most leniant teachers, and hates to enforce rules to strictly. He believes in his own interpretaion of the law, and will act accordingly.
Likes: Cody loves redwine, and the color purple. One will usually find a bottle of redwine chilling next to his desk, in his office. Mind you, the office is decorated in mostly purple attire. He also really likes a good batch of vanilla cookies.
Dislikes: Professor Thorne absolutly despises champagne. He has been known to throw gifts of the stuff, out of his window, crashing to the ground below. He also hates absolute darkness, and will always have a candle light somewhere around him.
Quirks: Well, Cody is a Seer, and a mighty fine one, at that. He is also quite a singer, and can be heard belting out tunes inbetween classes.
Counter Quirks: Cody absolutly loaths potions. He was horrible at the subject, when at school, and still avoids the dungeons because of it.
Appearance: Cody Thorne is a rather tall, lanky man with a shock of white hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. He was given his mother's dazzling blue eyes, which seem to glitter in any form of light, or lack there of. He is usually seen in some shade of purple robes, with a purple hat atop his head. A pair of small, black, steel-rimmed glasses rest on his nose, covering his eyes.
