Backstory

Growing up in a pure-blood family, life was more focused on the past rather than the present. It was then when I learned my love for history. But eventually, I grew tired of it. I moved on to writing stories of wizards and witches on quests, solving mysteries, and living the life of adventure. It was then that it hit me. Really hit me. I wanted the adventure. I wanted the thrill, the excitement. I wanted to live the experience first-hand not knowing what was coming next. I wanted to prove my bravery just like my Gryffindors had. So I took a leap of faith. I abandoned the my "pure-blood" status, and enrolled in Defense against the Dark Arts. I loved it. I am currently interning at the Ministry of Magic and training to become a full time Auror. After years of trying to find myself; struggling with my pure-blood Slytherin past to my Gryffindor self, I realized something really important: the past doesn't define you but your presence does.
