Backstory

The year I received my Hogwarts letter, my family had already decided we were moving to France and had secured a place for me at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. To say I was disappointed that I wouldn't be attending Hogwarts like my brother, who always raved about how amazing it was being a Hufflepuff, would be a great understatement. It was during my second year, when my father was killed by a wayward curse in broad daylight, that my mother and I decided to move back to Britain to be closer to my brother.

I was lucky enough that a few of the Hogwarts teachers were friends of the family and gained a spot as a 2nd year student under their recommendation. I was sorted into Slytherin house and in my first month of attendance I started, along with some of my fellow housemates and a few close friends in the other houses, the first annual inter-house sleepover in the Great Hall (the last official one was held in 1993, the very year I was born, though it was for precautionary reasons).

I went on to graduate from Hogwarts with four Outstandings, three Exceeds Expectations and an Acceptable (which I didn't find all that acceptable, personally). After graduation, I got a job working in the Ministry for Magic, as the Head Department of International Magical Cooperation's personal assistant. After a couple of years, and due to my knowledge of several languages, I was propositioned by my boss to be a temporary PA for the current Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Babajide Akingbade. I must have made a good impression, as I'm still his PA to this day.
