Backstory

Nobody warned me of the Slytherin reputation when I arrived here at Hogwarts. Everyone expects me to brood, put myself and my house on a pedestal, and be prejudiced towards non-purebloods. Well I'm here to tell you that that's not me. I may have the Slytherin ambition and cunning, but the sorting hat strongly considered placing me in Hufflepuff and as such I am a fierce friend, I'll take a secret to the grave with me once you confide in me, and I'm loyal until the end. I have friends in all houses and I love to spend my time watching quidditch matches, pulling pranks with Fred and George, turning the Room of Requirement into the best bouncy castle you've ever seen, and pretending I'm innocent to avoid detention. Although the Slytherin ambition is a huge part of who I am, it hardly ever seems to go towards excelling in school or becoming the best in my profession; instead it seems to kick in when someone says I can't or shouldn't do something or when I'm pulling pranks. I've been told I'm a harbinger of chaos. My favorite classes are potions and care of magical creatures and when I graduate from Hogwarts I think I want to become a magizoologist. My idols are Newt Scamander and Charlie Weasley (much to Percy and the twins' chagrin).
