To whoever is reading this:

My name is Avalon Morgane Sylvester. I prefer to be called Ava, though. I am a first year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was sorted in the Slytherin house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

As you can probably guess, I'm a pure-blood. My father is Sebastian Absolon Sylvester, the only other Sylvester alive. My mother is Elenora Rowle, who's from a well-known British pure-blood family. The Sylvesters were originally British as well, but left many centuries ago to mainland Europe. They made a fortune with fooling Muggles, making fake gold and trading it for money. You may call it unfair or criminal, but I just think it was very smart of them. Alas, none of them are alive anymore. It's a long story that has to do with Gellert Grindelwald and much bloodshed, but that's for another day. You can ask me about it if you're really curious, but don't you dare judge me for their actions. My parents and I strongly believe that they should be lauded for what they did. The end justifies the means, and they were fighting for a world where witches and wizards would finally have to stop living in the shadows. 

But I digress. You're here to get to know more about me, right? Well then, let me give you a brief overview. I'm eleven years young, and my birthday is December 21st. I'm a bit short and my weight is none of your business. I've got very black hair, which is one of the Sylvester's trademarks. The same goes for my eyes: they're light-brown with an amber teint, but it's often mistaken for yellow. Especially when I'm angry, people say my eyes are almost cat-like. 

Talking about anger - Sylvesters are well-known for their amazing wandless magic. They can control things around them without even touching them or thinking of a spell!  It's not the same as nonverbal magic, but my father's really good at that as well, so maybe it's related after all. When I'm really angry or emotional in some other way, things tend to... explode. Or they go awry in another way. Sometimes I accidentally hurt others or damage my surroundings. I hope that at Hogwarts, I can find out how to control this gift. My ancestors used it mainly for destructive purposes, such as harming or killing others.  This is also why people seem to be quite afraid of me. At first, this made me feel quite bad, but now I consider it an asset.  Their fear means they respect me in some way and see me as someone who's talented, which is never a bad thing. 

Now, what am I trying to achieve at Hogwarts? First of all, I want to learn as many useful charms and hexes as possible. I also wish to learn even more about magical creatures, and see them for myself. I want to achieve great academic results and make my parents proud. Later, I'm probably going to be working at the Ministry, although being a Professor might be an option as well. 

I think that's it for now. If you want to know more, I believe there's a nice, detailed page about me in the encyclopedia. If you still need to know more, send me an owl. But don't bother me with useless questions! I'm busy improving my skills, mind you. 

Kind regards,

Avalon Sylvester
