Minette is shy in a way, she is not one to speak up in a group or walk up and start a conversation with people she does not know well, therefor making friends in school is harder for her then it should be. She find speaking to adults more comfortable them with her peers. She likes to learn new things and wants to experience everything she possibly can. She is very creative when it comes to thinking, though logical in a since she finds imagination and abstract thinking to be her strong point. Although she's quiet in groups, she surprises people by being very adventurous and curious. She is not coordinated when it comes to athletics, her first two years in school she got very low marks in her flying class. She is secretly very judgmental of other people and also quite vain. She is Cunning and Sly at some times also. She is a good friend, but secretly extremely paranoid as to what her friends think of her. House: Ravenclaw Patronus: Hummingbird Pet: a Cat named Brixie History: Minette grew up in a three bedroom cottage on the outskirts of the riverside village of Starcross, in England, with her two older sisters Noreen and Vera, her younger bother Oswald, and her parents. She grew up in a happy caring environment and spent most of her time reading, writing, drawing and playing Wizard's Chess with her dad. Any other spare time was spent eavesdropping on her parents and older sister conversations, or pretending to be a teacher at Hogwarts for which she would get Oswald to be her student and they would spend the day pretending to fly or mixing the hair products and lotions in the bathroom with juice and mud, saying they were potions. Being just minutes old she showed signs of magic, unlike her older sister whom were slow to show there's. When Minette was eleven she got her letter from Hogwarts. When Minette was being sorted into a house by the sorting hat as a first year, she proved to be a Hatstall. The sorting hat had difficulty choosing a house for her, Minette had many of the qualities of each house, some more strong then others. In the end it came down Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Six Minutes and 42 seconds pasted before a decision of Ravenclaw was made. Oddly enough her older sister Vera was in Hufflepuff, her older sister Noreen was in Gryffindor, and both of Minette's parents had been in Gryffindor. So it was a surprise to her family that she ended up in Ravenclaw, but Minette was happy with Ravenclaw being her house, it had been the on she was hoping for. Her first year was spent mostly alone studying/practicing or fallowing her sister Vera around, she learned quickly and excelled in Transfiguration, Potions, and Charms. Minette got very high marks in all classes, except for flying. But, her first year was also during the last year of the Second Wizarding War, in which her sisters and parents fought in. Minette's Father and older sister Vera (age 16) died fighting during the final battle. Second year Minette spent morning the loss of her closest sister Vera and Her dad, but there was also good times such as her Sister Noreen's wedding to Charles Weasly, and the birth of there first son and Timon Melvin Weasly. During the carriage ride up to the castle she was one of few who could see the Thestrals whom pulled the carriage, as she had witnessed her fathers death and many others the year before, during the final battle. Minette tried out for her house Quidditch team, failing miserably after she fell off her broom and broke her arm in two places. She spent the rest of the year studying and reading books in library, she had even snuck into the restricted section three different times. She ended up with top marks in all her classes. Near the end of their second year she chose Divination and Muggle Studies for her extra classes for next year. The summer before she started her third year she spent with her mother and Oswald in France with her paternal Muggle Grandparents, Henri and Allura Bloom. Minette found the train ride to Hogwarts her third year to be fun, seeing as she had finally made some friends with two other girl in her house and a second year Slytherin girl. She also joind The Potions Club that year making friends with even more people. She also became part of the Slug Club. Muggle Studies became one of her favorite classes. Divination proved to be a challenge for her, but she found it entertaining. Her first trip to Hogsmeade as a third year was fun most of her firends spent the entire time giggle over boys or wondering around Gladrags Wizardwear. Minette spent her time looking around inside Tomes and Scrolls, and Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop. The year went by fast. She got top marks in all her classes and finally had some friends. The summer was spent visiting her sister Noreen, brother-in-law Charlie, and Nephew Timon in Romania. Also going to her Great Aunt Minerva's summer house, and spent her time learning more about Transfiguration, in which she found she could be Animagus, thought hardly a master at it, at all. Fourth year was spent mostly preparing for the O.W.L.s. sometimes with her friends and other time alone. She got passes from her professors to enter the restricted section, instead of sneaking in like she had done the years before. She spent many days reading over as many books she could in the library. Near the middle of the year she had noticed a attractive 6th year Slytherin boy, had taken a liking to her. Minette found it amusing and was secretly flattered. They only went on one date, to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop on one of the Hogsmeade trips. Thought the date went well, and nothing embarrassing nor awkward happened, Minette felt bored chatting about Quidditch and other sports, the relationship didn't go any farther that. Potion class being her number one favorite class, got even better when she found the half-blood-prince potions textbook wedged between the shelves. Thought it was in extremely battered shape, and was an Advanced Potion-Making N.E.W.T-level Potions book, she found it to be not only helpful with her self-study, but very interesting. She also worked on trying to make her own unique potion, ending up creating a very strong variation of the 'Dreamless Sleep Potion', she asked her friend Maggs to test it. Drinking only a drop or two she ended up fainting and staying in a catatonic coma for the next two weeks. The school year slowly came to an end. Minette spent the summer at home with Oswald and her mother. Oswald was going to start his first year at Hogwarts so Minette spent most of the summer answering his ridiculous questions. She also stayed at her friend Maggs House in Dublin for a week, Minette had made some Polyjuice Potion and they spent the day pretending to be each other. During the summer her mother started dating again, to Minette's and Oswald displeasure, and Noreen sent news that she was pregnant. Fifth year started amazingly as she watched her younger brother Oswald be sorted into Gryffindor. She pretty much new that he was going to be in Gryffindor, for his personalty alone, was everything of the typical Gryffindor was. She was selected to become a Prefect for her house, she took the position very seriously, more kids ended up in detention and loosing house point with her as Prefect then average, many complained that she was to strict, so not wanting to be disliked she loosened up slightly. Her and her best friend Maggs spent a good part of there time studying for O.W.L.s. When it came time for Minette to receive career counselling from the Head of Ravenclaw, she found that she had no idea what she wanted to be or do as a career. It was suggested to her that she pursue being a Potioneer or Professor, but that she could pretty much choose any career she wanted, because she has such a bright mind and curious spirit. She practiced her Animagus everyday, and got quite good at it. Minette got all Os and Es on her O.W.L.s. except for Astronomy in which she only got an A. She was not terribly happy with her scores, seeing that she wanted all Os. Career option began weighting on her mind, and she felt that if she didn't choose soon it would be to late. She was thinking ether Spell inventor, Potioneer, a Professor or maybe writing and illustrating her own line of textbooks, study guides and her own magic creations. She like the Idea of being a spell inventor and a Potioneer at the same time. Creating and perfecting enough of her own Potions and Spell to write a few good books and then become a Professor at Hogwarts in her later years, and this became her full blown ambition for the rest of the year. Trying to create her own spells landed her in the hospital more then once that year. The year ended and she when home for the summer.
