Backstory

I know I am quite over the standard age of Hogwart's students but this has been my first opportunity to study in a magical school and there's why. I come from an Italian halfblood family; actually my father is an English wizard, he and my mum met while she was working in a London pub, they fell in love, married and then decided to move to my mother's origin village on the Italian seaside. Last year I graduated from Muggle high school and meanwhile, since my eleventh birthday, I got a bit of magical education from my dad, a quite experienced former Auror, he was able to get me a wand directly from Olivander and I could perform magic even at home since I wasn't living in England, in Italy there isn't a clear law about that. Anyway now I'm here at Hogwarts studying with young people in order to improve my skills and, more important, my English; I've arrived there as soon as I got to live alone, I hope to become a curse breaker at the ministry of magic after my studies (or maybe even during my school years c:)
