Backstory

I come from a line of wealthy pure-blood Slytherins and it was little surprise when I was sorted into Slytherin... although I wouldn't have minded being a Ravenclaw. The hat took longer than expected to sort me, I think my parents would have been disappointed, but in the end I was sorted into Slytherin. My favorite classes so far are potions and DADA, my least favorite is definitely muggle studies. I've always exceeded in Astronomy, although I didn't particularly enjoy the class. Being born into such a high standing pure-blood family, a lot is expected of me at a fairly young age. There is a lot of pressure to be great and outshine others and it puts a lot of pressure of me. Hogwarts is my escape from this reality, it allows to be be a kid for once and do "normal" kid things. When I grow up I don't want to become a rich pure-blood, I want to pursue my passion, but I'm not entirely sure what that is yet. Hogwarts is my home.
