My name is Alma Malvado and I’m the second oldest child of my family. My brother Orpheus, despite being 5 years older than I, has forsaken his title as heir in favour of becoming an apprentice in warding and rune-inscription. Therefore I have been granted the title of heir of the family and with it the right to one day take over the family business.
I live with my family in a large home in wizarding London. With family, I mean myself, my parents, my father’s two older brothers and my younger twin sisters.
My mother, Charlotte Malvado née Rosier, loves to travel and hunt down rare editions of books whenever she isn't tied down with her job as leading expert for magical, European artefacts of the 12th to 16th century.
My father, Ares Malvado, is a master herbalist and writes rather boring (but successful) articles about new cross-breeds of plants and the like. Whenever he isn’t busy with that, he owns a book shop along with his two brothers, Olysseus and Hypatos, down in Knockturn Alley. “Malvado’s Mystical Manuscripts”, it is called. One day, this book shop will be part of my inheritance, so I spend a lot of time in the shop, learning the arts of restoring old books, identifying fakes and things like that.
My younger sisters are called Daphne and Anathea, and their favourite pastime is rummaging through old books to try and find little mementos left by previous owners; things they had used as bookmarks. So far, they’ve found photos, pressed flowers, sweets wrappers and old receipts.
As you may have realised, my family’s collective obsession is books. Books and the knowledge they bring. Now one might say that though this kind of upbringing, I would do well in Ravenclaw. Yet despite feeling a certain kinship with that house, my true home is and will always be Slytherin.
