Verity Greengrass

Backstory

I grew up in Greengrass Manor with my  pureblooded parents and sisters, Daphne and Astoria. After I was bitten by a werewolf at age 7, we moved to a smaller home near a large forest. We needed to be close to somewhere concealed and distanced from society for my monthly transformations. Despite our distance, we still became close with the Weasley family next door. My mother died from dragon pox in St Mungos a few years later. My father was an auror and wasn't home much to help me with my transformations, so my sisters had to. 

When I turned 11, I was accepted into Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw which was unexpected because most of my family had been Slytherin. I was beyond excited to receive my acceptance letter. I wasn't sure if I would be able to attend because of my lycanthropy. Luckily, Professor Snape was able to make me a wolfsbane potion every month.

I was disappointed when my childhood best friends, Katherine Salvatore and Ron Weasley, were sorted into different houses, but we didn't let our house difference get in the way of our friendship. Later on in the year, I became close friends with Neville Longbottom, a Gryffindor first year. In my second year, I became friends with first years Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley.
