Quirks and Habits:
- When Hope meets somebody for the first time, she always makes sure to give them a firm handshake and a smile. Being shy never got anybody anywhere, and she wants people to remember her name.
- Hope is very well-aware of her reputation and the fact that she is disliked by a lot of the wizarding community - not just those who are pro-werewolf, but by a lot of the old hat wizards in the Ministry who believe she's too outspoken for a woman. This has resulted in her taking a lot of security measures especially at night time where she locks every perceivable entry point of where she's staying.
- Hope wears a locket around her neck at all times with her wedding photo on one side and a family portrait with her husband, baby girl and herself on the other side.
- Red wine is her favourite beverage and every night after work, she indulges in a glass with dinner to help wind down.
Likes: red wine, chocolate, the Ministry of Magic, dueling, krav maga, brooches, taking care of her appearance, dogs
Dislikes: werewolves, Fenrir Greyback and the Trossachs, old hat Ministry officials who believe she does not belong, thestrals
Boggart: Tyr Greyback becoming Minister for Magic
Mirror of Erised: Her husband and daughter alive once more
Patronus: capuchin monkey
history
1998 - At the age of 10 years old, her parents Abraham and Leona, try to make a safe place for the muggleborns and blood traitors who are on the run from Death Eaters. As magizoologists, Abraham and Leona had plenty of space and succeeded in hiding several different people... that was, until one day Greyback received a tip and he and his merry men of Snatchers came calling. Leona told Hope to hide and she did, finding solitude behind a tree. With her hand clasped over her mouth, Hope didn't make a single sound even when she saw Greyback and The Cursebreaker attack her parents, mauling them to death. She hid behind the tree for hours, well into the night, until she was sure it was safe.
Late 1998 - As an orphan, Hope is now living in a group home for witches and wizards until she goes to Hogwarts. They treat her well there, for the most part. With the war over and Kingsley Shacklebolt appointed as Minister for Magic, Hope is able to go to Wizengamot and testify against The Cursebreaker about what happened to her parents in 1998. She is unable to testify about Fenrir Greyback as he is on the run. The Cursebreaker is found guilty for being an accomplice to Fenrir Greyback, and he is sentenced to 12 years in Azkaban.
1999 - With The Cursebreaker locked up and receiving ongoing therapy at St., Mungos, Hope begins to heal and starts to return to being a happy, young girl. She starts her first year at Hogwarts and she's sorted into Hufflepuff.
2004 - During her sixth year at Hogwarts, Hope falls head-over-heels in love with a classmate, Osian Edwards, after he asks her out on a dare from his roommates. Whilst his intentions were disingenuous at the beginning, he begins to genuinely like Hope after their first date... but then things go pear-shaped, and she finds out that he asked her out on a laugh. He apologises but Hope, hurt, gives him the cold shoulder for the rest of the year. They end up reconciling in 2005 during their seventh year when they get paired together for a History of Magic assignments.
2007 - After spending two years together, Osian proposes to Hope one day during breakfast when they're both 19 years old. Taken aback, Hope bursts into tears for a good few minutes, before finally saying yes and throwing herself at a worried Osian in a huge hug. They get married a few months later in a small ceremony surrounded by friends and family. Hope decides to keep her last name as a way to honour her parents.
2010 - Now 22 years old, Hope and Osian live in Godric's Hollow with their beautiful little two year old girl, Arwen. Osian stays at home with Arwen during the day, whilst Hope goes to work at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she works in an administrative position. Hope works back most days, feeling a certain type of obligation to the Ministry itself as they were the ones to put away The Cursebreaker for being an accomplice in her parents death.
When Hope returns from work one night, eager to kiss her baby girl just as she gets put to bed and then enjoy dinner with her husband, devastation strikes. She opens the door to a sight that haunts her to this day, one too gory to describe. She sobs and clutches her poor husband and daughter's bodies until the next morning when an owl taps at her window, delivering a piece of parchment with the words:
You fucked with my family. You don't get to keep yours.
The parchment bursts into flames as soon as Hope reads the words and immediately, Hope
knows who's killed her little family, the same people who massacred her parents twelve years ago. She fights for justice, demands that the recently released Cursebreaker gets imprisoned once more along with Fenrir Greyback, but there's not enough proof this time around and Greyback turns up dead a few months later anyway. Hope begins her new mission in life, deciding to enrol in the Auror training program to help the Ministry gain more control of the werewolves who are ruining and destroying people's lives.
December 2018/January 2019 - Hope is now a fully fledged Auror with five years of experience under her belt and she hears of the atrocity that occurred at the Hogwarts Winter Ball. She's sickened immediately at how
easily there could have been fatalities, fearful that the actions undertaken by the students who attacked Hogwarts are a warning sign that there may be a repeat of the 2016 Hogwarts Attack. She volunteers herself for the Ministry Liaison position and commences work at the school after Christmas break.

After all of the commotion that had occurred in the great hall and after being interviewed by aurors themselves, Vinda was not happy. What a waste of her time, they should have been interviewing solely the attackers. Not her. She had better things to do than stand around, talking to some Ministry officials and recounting her version of events. Her version - as if Vinda didn't remember clearly what happened, as if what she was saying wasn't factual and the gospel truth.
Pushing the loose tendrils of blonde curls over her shoulder, Vinda's head was lifted high as she walked the dimly lit corridors, heading straight for the Slytherin common room. She needed to get out of the heels she was wearing a.s.a.p. and she refused to walk along the ground without them. Who knew what germs the cold, concrete floor had picked up along the years? Who knew when somebody had last bothered to scourgify the ground? She wasn't about to risk losing a foot all because certain people didn't uphold the same hygiene standards as herself after doing unspeakable things on the dungeon floors.
It was when Vinda rounded the corner that she was met with a very unpleasant sight. "Are you trying to contaminate the masses with another form of bodily fluids, Rousseau?" she said, nose scrunching up as she withdrew her wand and pointed it straight at the young woman. "This is more for my sake than yours. I don't want my eyes to end up bleeding on account of... well, you." With that, Vinda cast a quick 'tergeo' over the girl, watching with a satisfied twist of her lips as all of the blood was siphoned off Kaylie's dress. "I'm surprised you weren't one of them, given your love for magical creatures." She was, of course, hinting at Kaylie's relationship with Alana Valentino who had all of a sudden outed herself as a creature of the night.
