Backstory

Word to the wise- do not ever leave your children alone with an incomplete potion. My father did much work with potions and left to use the bathroom one day, leaving me and my curiosity alone with the bubbling cauldron. Long story short, I ended up with a potion all over my tiny little nine-year-old body and before anyone could do anything it was too late.

So there it is- the story about how I died. Why did I choose to be a ghost rather than "moving on?" Well as much as I never wanted to live forever I wanted the chance to experience the many wonders of the world. As being alive for less then 10 years really didn't give me that chance, I decided to stay in the world as a ghost. I got used to being a ghost after a few years and am attending Hogwarts just like any other student. I know certain spells that enable me to work with corporeal objects in classes and events. :)
