Elzabeth Gillan/ Second Year/Ravenclaw

Name: Elzabeth Gillan
House: Ravenclaw
Age: 12
Wand: 27,0 cm cherry wood and unicorn hair
School Year: 2nd year
Patronus: N/A
Species: Human
Blood Type: Half-blood
History: Elzabeth grew up in Bristol Enlgalns with her mother Mary Gillan and her father
Mark Gillan. Her father was born in a pureblood family and grew up in the wizarding world, he often told Elzabeth how he never would have pictured himself with a muggle wife as a boy but he never would have traded it for the world.

Her father grew up near London, finishing all seven years at Hogwarts and graduating just before the infamous battle. He took on a job at the Ministry, becoming a magical law enforcer before meeting Elzabeths mother a few years later.

Elzabeths mother was born in Bristol and attended an all-girls school for most of her education, she went to medical school in London. Her paths crossed with Mark when she was unfortunately the target of a magical mugging. Mark was the first person on the case, taking a liking to her almost immediately.

"She seemed so calm, despite being held at wand point." He would say. As protocall goes, they had to wipe her memory after getting the information they needed. Even after she didn't remember him, he went out of his way to see her again.

She wouldn't find out the truth of the magic world until they were married. Her mother would tell her stories about how she thought she had married a crazy person until he apparated in front of the door before she could runoff.

Her mother finished med school and was a new ER nurse when she became pregnant with Elzabeth. Having both parents with such demanding jobs was sometimes hard on Elzabeth, she had no siblings to keep her company or grandparent within a sensible distance to babysit her.

She was only a toddler when she had started to show signs of magic, sometimes making toys float or food fly when she was upset. When her father found out she was going to be a witch he was enthralled, her mother, on the other hand, was a little upset. Even if she didn't want to admit it, her mother would always be sad Elzabeth wouldn't be able to live a normal life, free of magic and the odd consequences that came with it.

Elzabeth struggled as a child with being accepted, the kids in her school thought she was weird and would tease her for it. If it weren't for her mother being busy they may have pulled her into homeschooling before she ever got her letter from Hogwarts.

The day the owl visited with the envelope neatly tucked in its claws was the day Elzabeth knew she would finally find a place she belonged, just from the stories her father had told over dinner she knew that Hogwarts was going to be her home away from home.
Appearance:
Elzabeth was a small girl, perhaps she would be for the rest of her life. It seemed she was always a few inches shorter than the other kids in her grade and in some ways she wished it were different. After all, her biggest pet peeve was being underestimated and that wasn't hard to do when one looks a few years younger than they actually were.

Her hair is a lovely dark blond that looks almost like honey in the right lighting. She refused to cut it so it fell just at her waist, sometimes making it hard to walk out in the wind without getting annoyed. She took after her mother with her light green eyes, depending on the mood she was in they may turn a shade lighter or darker.

Pale skin and soft features gave away her English descent, it seemed the more she grew the more pronounced her eyes were becoming. Her father predicted she would look more like her grandmother than she would of her mother.

Summary of the years:


First-year:

Reducio
Elzabeth started her first year at Hogwarts, leaving her father behind at the train station with a bitter goodby, unable to predict how much the magical school would change her life.

While trying to get onto the express she bumped into William Dubois, her first friend at Hogwarts that year. They rode on the train together, swapping stories of home and hopes for the future they would have at Hogwarts.

Once Elzabeth attended the sorting ceremony and was inducted into the Ravenclaw house, she felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Her expectations of the school blew her imagination out of the water, it almost felt like she was dreaming.

Unfortunately, the feeling wears off when Elzabeth faced a different type of struggle she wasn't expecting. Since she was a little girl she had struggled with Insomnia, it ran in her family and skipped her mother before being handed down to her. Her usual coping mechanisms were either involving her parents or something else she was unable to do in the commons. The first night it attacked she only got a few hours of sleep, humming a tune her mother used to sing to her when it got bad. That night would be one of many where sleep would be lost.

During her first two weeks she talked to many kids, some of them kind, others not so much. Elzabeth discovered her favorite place in the castle was the Library, no surprise there. One morning when she was catching up on her reading she overheard a blood boiling conversation.

Someone was preaching blood superiority, calling those who were not pureblooded to be exempted from Hogwarts. It was a mean side of the world she had yet to experience and her outward reaction to the girl did nothing to help.

Though her spirit may have been crushed and her face was red with anger, she had unknowingly met a friend.

In the commons, a night after the incident in the library that made a forever impression on Elzabeths mind, a slumber party took place. And in it some of the best friends she would have that upcoming year. There she was introduced to students of all backgrounds, each of them holding contempt in their hearts for the girl who spoke so negatively of their blood status.

That night would be the beginning of the Order Of The Dawn. A meeting would take place not too long after, giving them an official name and a sense of purpose. She had found her friends and had no intentions of splitting away from them.

Instead of telling her parents about the group she kept it to herself, hoping her mother wouldn't deem it too dangerous.

Their group of rag-tag friends would conspire against the girl and her friends in hopes of ending the attacks of muggle-born students around Hogwarts. At the same time she would meet Lamik, a boy her twelve-year-old heart would grow very fond of.

As per usual, with boys comes drama. Elzabeth was under the impression her feelings for Lamik were mutual but it seemed she was getting played, or at least felt like it. Thus would start an uncomfortable energy around the group that desperately needed to be fixed.

In an attempt to rectify the situation Lamik and Elzabeth talked in private, deciding to settle on a friendship in one last awkward attempt. As much as it seemed to be embarrassing, Elzabeth would get over the event even if her crush on the boy continued.

As fall rolled around Ilvermorny students were welcomed to Hogwarts and with them a Masquerade ball that would cause more harm than good. Elzabeth managed to get her mother to pay for a nice dress, for once in her life it seemed she apart of something. That was until things went south.

A group of giants attacked. Elzabeth sustained a minor injury, escaping with only a ripped dress and a burn on her legs. She was one of the lucky ones that night. The news of the attack came out the next day, parents scrambled for an answer to how something so horrendous could happen at Hogwarts. Her mother was worried beyond belief to the point of almost talking Elzabeth out of school. She managed to calm her mother down enough to strike a deal. She would stay at Hogwarts so long as nothing else extreme happened.

It took a while for Elzabeth to shake the fact that she had come so close to being gravely hurt or losing a friend started up the sleeping issues all over again. Her friend James had a birthday coming up, so in an attempt to lighten the mood they gathered for a small party near the Black Lake.

All went smooth at first until a group of unwelcoming students attacked them because of their affiliation with the Order Of The Dawn. Elzabeth got in her first fist fight since grade school, sustaining a few injuries healable by the nurse.

She decided lying to the nurse about how she got the injuries would be the best way to keep the incident from getting to her mother.

Christmas was a welcomed break, though she missed her friends it felt good to sleep in her own bed. During the break, she managed to meet up and have a Secret Santa with the Order, her heart warm with the feeling of being with them so close to the holiday.

Her mother would ask her questions but more often than not all of Elzabeths stories were told to her dad who admired her for getting so involved with the school so soon into her time at Hogwarts. She kept the fight a secret, fearing he would take it to her mother and end the amazing year she was having despite the conflicts.

After the break, she attended her classes like normal until the lack of sleep and the frustration of her attackers started to get to her. While in the hallways Elzabeth ran into another student, starting a very aggressive interaction between the two girls that resulted in a fight. The second one that year resulted in an embarrassing fall in front of William and a head injury that only the nurse would be able to heal. The incident was reported to her parents and almost immediately her mother owl'd her with the news that would stop her year with an anticlimatic end.

Her mother was pulling her from Hogwarts and limiting communication between her and her friends. Elzabeth was beyond mad, both of their relationships suffering with each fight they had. Her mother wasn't wrong, Elzabeth had changed from that sweet girl that had left to go to Hogwarts into someone who wasn't afraid to fight back.

Elzabeth didn't understand how that was a bad thing, and she may never, but that didn't stop her mother from forcing her to spend the rest of her year at home with textbooks and pencils instead of quills and owls. The only reason she would be allowed back would be under the condition that she kept her grades up and she stayed out of any type of conflicts, something Elzabeth figured would be an easy accomplishment.
