Backstory

(Younger Student) When I received a letter to Hogwarts, I couldn't believe my luck. My mother's side of the family had all been squibs, and my father's side had some dark history hidden in our family tree. I didn't know how I was going to afford to get my books and other supplies, what with my mother's certain problem with a certain drink and all. Yet I was surprised the day before I boarded the train to London by a package from my father, a key to a vault at Gringotts bank. There I discovered enough money to cover my book and supplies expenses for a good while, but wondered where my father would have gotten this money from. It was another couple weeks before I was to board the train for Hogwarts, and now my mother was in a state. Throwing a tantrum every time I mentioned leaving, I was fearful that I wouldn't be able to escape. The night before I was to depart, my mother forbade me from leaving the house and told me that I was to attend the same school everyone in her family had. Angry and in tears, I shut my door behind me and cried. At about midnight, there was a tapping on my door and my Uncle Greg entered telling me to gather my things. He, like my mother, had no magical abilities whatsoever, but he is the one I am indebted to for getting me to this wonderful place.
