Alfie and Sam on Sayef's smugness.Sayef Ahmed was a half-blood wizard born on 8 August 1980 to Mr and Mrs Ahmed. He grew up at a normal Muggle school until he learnt he was a wizard at age 11 and had been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He began attending on 1 September 1991 and was sorted into Slytherin house, despite being friends with a large group of Gryffindors. He was a very talented potion-maker and possessed an incredible passion for learning spells, but was very smug and bragged a lot. He later became a lot more mature and eventually helped kill Voldemort.
