Backstory

I was sorted into hufflepuff house after around 30 seconds with the sorting hat on my head (the hat struggled between placing me in hufflepuff or gryffindor). I've always particularly loved care of magical creatures, flying and defence against the dark arts - however my best subject is herbology. I've always hated potions class and history of magic, but that's mostly because the professors for those subjects always seem to be either excruciatingly boring, creepy, or both. My parents are both muggles, but my brother and I are wizards. Because of this, pureblood elitists love to act as though they are superior beings, but luckily, most of those elitists are in azkaban now, since the vast majority of them worked with Voldemort. I'm fairly decent at quiddich, and I was lucky enough to become a chaser for the hufflepuff team which is absolutely amazing. I also love everything about magical creatures, so I hope to be a magizoologist like Newt Scamander when I leave school, but if I can't do that, I'd love to teach at Hogwarts! I'm not good at making friends, unfortunately, but I do try my best and I've managed to make a few close friends over the years. I have one pet toad named Tod, who is very boisterous and friendly, and a family owl to collect mail for me and my brother (Dad named her Fiona, after one of our childhood pets - who was a stick insect, by the way). Anyway, now I'm in my fifth year at Hogwarts and my O.W.Ls are just around the corner - but I'm feeling confident that I'll do alright in my exams! I cant wait to pick subjects for my N.E.W.Ts, I'm thinking of trying out ancient studies - hopefully it'll be fun.
