Background
----------------------------
"Life is Business", that is the Watson motto. The youngest of two children of an arranged Pureblood marriage based in business advancement, Ben was raised with this motto as a fact of life. His parents taught him, and his sister, Euros, at a young age that people were merely made up of their weaknesses and faults, and one need only know how to push the right buttons to move them any way they wanted.
Unfortunately for Mr. and Mrs. Watson, their son could care less about other people. He followed mostly after his sister, ten years his senior. As he entered Hogwarts, following in their footsteps into Slytherin, they had hoped that being around children of similar breeding would make him see the error of his antisocial tendencies. They were extremely wrong. In fact, seeing the stupidity surrounding him only instilled the idea that these people weren't worth his time. To Ben, it had nothing to do with blood or money, but power. And power is brought about by knowledge. What good was money if you didn't know how to use it?
During his time at Hogwarts, the Slytherin cultivated a very specific rapport with most of his class mate: leave him alone and no harm would come to them. Not that Ben was an angry or malicious individual; he simply valued his solitude. He had become accustomed to it, seeing as his sister had graduated and moved out of their family home before the younger sibling even entered school. Before then, the two had never been particularly close, having as detached a relationship as they possessed with their parents.
Having found great success in Potions and Herbology, he gradually realized what he wanted to do in life, and found most other school happenings simply wasteful of his attention. Upon graduation, he was accepted into the Potioneering program at Merlin's Academy, naturally. Now two years through the program, Ben has begun to focus more on the experimental side, more interested in creating than selling. Something his parents are not happy about. This, along with his refusal to being thinking about his duties as the Watson heir, has left his home life less than happy.
