Richard "Rick" Burns (1982 - 1998) was a male half-blood wizard. In Rick's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was sorted into Slytherin House, though the Sorting Hat claimed he had traits of a Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Throughout his six years at school, Rick made friends with fellow Slytherins Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. Rick also befriended Luna Lovegood in his sixth and final year.
