Backstory

I was living in Edinburgh and received a Hogwarts letter. But has got Scrofungulus and it is no picnic, let me tell you! The fairly contagious infection causes multicolored mushrooms to sprout from odd places on the neck and, at least in my case, occasionally spark. It took several years to finally clear up the infection completely, and my voice is soft as a whisper, but I didn’t spend that time just laying around. I spent time researching the ailment, of course, and I’m just glad I didn’t come down with something worse, like Vanishing Sickness! I was able to complete my O.W.Ls and N.E.W.T.s just a year behind schedule and began my post-secondary education when I was eighteen. For a while I worked on the Second Floor in the Magical Bugs and Diseases department until I retired early to my little house to help those in need who live close and far to me. Only those who belong to the magical world know I'm a witch whilst those who don't just assume I'm good at traditional medicines....which I am.
