History: Camden was born on a rainy day in November to two American muggles and named Henry Christopher Smith. He first showed signs of magic at the age of 14 months, he turned his mom's hair blue. His parents were confused by what he could do and were very afraid of him. They were so afraid that they put him up for adoption two weeks later. After spending four days at an adoption agency he was adopted by a newly wed pure blood Scottish couple. They renamed him Camden Kenneth, they thought it suited him better. After they adopted him they were visited by the Ministry informing them that he was a wizard. They made the adoption final by saying that he was a pure blood, even though he wasn't.

Years went by and Camden learned to control his powers in a wizard neighborhood. Camden lost his hearing when he was 3 years old. He was too close to a TV when it turned on, he had his left ear up to the speaker to hear it better and before he knew it he couldn't hear out of his ear. His mother then peirced his ear and charmed an earring to make him able to hear again. At the age of 4 his parents had a baby girl and two years later they had twins. When he was ten his parents told him that he was adopted and that his magic scared his parents. He didn't really understand what they were saying but he took it all in and was able to be cope with himself being adopted. When Camden got his letter he was over whelmed with excitement. Camden was sorted into Hufflepuff because he was not pure blood, brave, or smart. Some of his class mates say that he should've been sorted into Slytherin because of his wicked sense of humor and personality. No matter what anyone says Camden likes being a Hufflepuff and wouldn't change a thing.

During his forth year however Death Eaters started attacking. His father was on his way to work when there was an attack on his work and the building crumbled to dust within seconds. Thankfully he wasn't in the building but a block away when that happened but when he Death Eaters who had destroyed the building came around he started attacking them. During the battle his father lost sight in his left eye and he no longer has his left ear due to a curse that missed. His father is known as a hero because he actually took down three Death Eaters single handed and sent them to Azkaban.

When he went to take the test on what weapon will bond with his magical core a sword and shield were his match. Camden is very talented and learned quickly how to attack opponents and how to defend himself without his wand by his side. His shield helps him not have the need to cast a shield charm around himself seeing as he is already shielded. Camden takes his training very seriously and learns quickly to be able to defend anyone at any given time. This summer Camden joined the Order with his father and his training is also taught by other members. Camden and Paige have been together for three years and he feels everything is going great. He has told her numerous amounts of time that he would risk his life for her. He will stand up until death to make sure the light will prevail in the end.
