I'm a Hufflepuff, myself. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to be anywhere else. I don't think there's anything in the world worth valuing more than loyalty, kindness, and dedication.

My family moved to the UK shortly after the war with Voldemort ended. It was a strange time to be a new foreigner. Even though I didn't live through the war, when we arrived there was a sort of residual fear lingering in every part of the air. My brothers Robin and Eden stayed behind in France. Eden's still at Beauxbatons and Robin graduated and got a job writing for the French Wizarding newspaper, La Bouche du Monde. My father is a muggleborn from Scotland but my mother was a pureblood witch from Lyon. She's from one of the oldest pure-blood families in France: the Lefevres. My parents met when my dad was doing a study abroad at Beauxbatons. He ended up fleeing the UK to live with my mother during Voldemort's first rise to power as his muggleborn status made him a target. My parents lived there most of their marriage. My brothers and I were born there, grew up there, and everything. They went to Beauxbatons like my mother had, but just before it was time for me to start school, my dad got a job offer in London that he just couldn't turn down. So we packed up left and I ended up at Hogwarts. Of all my classes, I think I'll like charms the best, or maybe potions, or Defense Against the Dark Arts? Herbology? Who knows? I'm just excited.

My dad was an Auror, you see. He wanted to help round up the death eaters once the second war against Voldemort was over. Both my parents worked in magical law, my dad in enforcement, my mom as a clerk. I want to follow in their footsteps when I grow up, but I don't know whether I'd more want to make laws or enforce them. My dad passed away in the line of duty between my fifth and sixth years. It wasn't a particularly quick or painless death. At least I got to see him before he passed, you know, to say goodbye. It's why I can see Thestrals. After that, my mother went back to France to be with my brothers and her family. Part of me wants to honor my father, to keep fighting the good fight against the darkness he devoted his life to stopping, but I'm not sure how the rest of my family will take it.
