Ivy-Marie Hoffmann

Backstory

Ivy-Marie, was born on a cold February morning in Vienna, Austria. Her father, Felix Hoffman, was a business savvy-man and her mother, Anja Memminger, was a stay at home mother. Her father often sought out various business opportunities and even invested a few times, though he never told Anja or Ivy much of what he was doing. While her parents were busy elsewhere, young Ivy began developing an affinity for music. As soon as she knew what one was, she begged her parents for a viola and just about whatever other instrument she could get her hands on. Her parents had no problems obliging her, happy that she was discovering her talents.

Ivy’s parents were new to having children, and as their first, they had high expectations for her. Anja even had a rather ridiculous fear that Ivy could have been a squib because she wasn’t displaying any magical abilities at the same time other Pureblood children were. Anja even voiced her worry to Felix, who considered the idea, but ultimately dismissed it. Though they did not know, Ivy had heard their few brief conversations about her. Shortly after that, Ivy began showing her magical abilities, causing quite a few messes. After a while, Felix decided it was best to move with business, and it just happened to bring the family to the United Kingdom, and specifically, London.

Ivy spent her time in their new home, practicing her instruments (while she had many, she was only decently skilled in piano and viola, the others, there because she’d asked for them), learning the new language, and making magical messes. During that time, she gained three other siblings; two sisters and a young brother. Soon enough, it was time to go off to school, once Ivy had received her enrollment letter, they sent her on her way.

Within her first year, she had developed an affinity for charms and potions.
