Backstory

(6th year at Hogwarts)
I was born and raised in the Wizarding World and come from a well known pureblooded Slytherin family. My family is well known amongst most other Slytherins due to my grandfather being one of the most obedient Death Eaters. My father on the other hand was the complete opposite, he tried to keep my mother and I away from all of Voldemort's mess which led to us living a hectic, unpredictable life. The chase finally ended when my father died, I was 7. Since then my mother and I have been living together. Articles and rumours spread constantly about us which is frustrating and daunting at times. What if my classmates discover my whole life or fall for the vile assumptions being made about me? Luckily the other houses aren't aware of ALL of my family history, and I would like to keep it that way.

Hogwarts is definitely a safe place for me. I love my home but I feel comfortable and welcomed here at all times, sometimes staying at home can get overwhelming. I have 2 years left unfortunately and I'm not sure what I want to do after. I can still remember buying my first wand at Ollivanders, unicorn hair core and aspen wood. I'll miss the morning feasts, visiting Hogsmeade, learning new spells and potions and playing quidditch, yes I play quidditch and I'm the first women to be part of the Slytherin quidditch team in decades!!! I'm the seeker, which is surprising as my father was AWFUL and my mother studied at Beauxbatons, therefore she was a talented dancer instead. I heavily enjoy defence against the dark arts and care of magical creatures. I remember when we made Amortentia in potions, all the girls were stealing a bit off Professor Slughorns potion to use on the boys. I enjoy reading in my spare time, creating some artwork and playing the piano in the Slytherin common room. I don't have many friends as I like to keep myself to myself but I get along with almost everyone. You will probably find me relaxing at the astronomy tower, reading a book by the Forbidden Forest or drinking Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks alone :)
