Editing Well of Nimue: Character 7 (section)

===First Two Years at Hogwarts===

Malcolm had a plan, a good portion of which was based on 'advice' from his mother. Knowing he was a good flyer and athlete, he tried out for Quidditch his first year. He made the team, if by the skin of his teeth, but that was the start of his reputation. Malcolm is reasonably intelligent, and knows how to study, so he did well in his classes. 

When dueling clubs were started in his second year, Malcolm jumped at the opportunity to join. He did well, becoming the top ranked 2nd year out of the entire school, even if Ravenclaw came in second place in the Dueling Cup. Now a seasoned Chaser, Ravenclaw did exceptionally well, but also failed to win the Quidditch Cup.
