Lottie Blade

Backstory

Lottie grew up in a loving family even if it was slightly protective over her, what with her being the youngest girl in the family. Lukas, her older brother, was who she had always felt closer to and would do almost everything with him. He was the one who taught her basic potion making and spells she could practice once she reached Hogwarts age. Her mother, working in magical law, wasn't often around and when she was she mostly spoke about how unjust the law was.

Due to her mothers demanding work her father, who was an aspiring author for both the muggle and wizarding world, would often be the one at home looking after the kids. David, having been put into Hufflepuff during his time at school, was hoping that his children would be doing the same and was disappointed when Lukas got into Hogwarts only to be sorted into Ravenclaw house. He placed his hope of Lottie to carry on the Hufflepuff trend.

Growing up Lottie looked up a lot to her brother and her aunt (From her mothers side), Kendra, who was the coolest person to Lottie. Kendra was a cursebreaker for the ministry and always had cool stories to tell whenever she would come over to the Cane house. Stories that would enrapt Lottie from when she was young right up to her present day self. Lukas, on the other hand, found dragons more interesting and as soon as he passed his NEWT's went straight back to Wales to study the Welsh Green.

Although Lottie was brought up in London, her mother having moved there when she met her husband David, the family was often over at Wales to visit her mothers side of the family. Her grandmother, Katherine, always made Lottie feel at home with the smell of warm cookies that she steal and get away with it. Lottie adored Wales and was always happy to visit her grandma Katie and grandpa Tomas, especially as her grandma worked in the muggle world and showed her all the things she used when she was a 'scientist' not that Lottie ever really understood what that was. Her grandpa Tomas was never too impressed with that, though, and taught Lottie about the pureblood customs.

On her 11th birthday she finally got her letter to Hogwarts, glad that she wasn't what her grandfather Martin said she could be; a squib. Her brother had just left Hogwarts the year prior a fact that sadden Lottie as she would be going to Hogwarts by herself and not know anyone there. It was a scary thought but she was too excited about finally learning magic to worry about it, especially about the thought of making friends. She was there to learn, not to make friends.

Once she got to Hogwarts she gave her father more disappointment by being sorted into Slytherin house, something her mother was pleased about. Despite her being focused on learning and not making friends she did bond with a few of her classmates and found that it wasn't as bad having friends than she thought it was. Especially when they helped her pull pranks on the other students.
