The End of Darkness (TDS)

Birthday: November 30, 2020
Age/Year at start of RP: 12/2nd
Class: 2032/39 (with Jackson)
House: Shrake

Hair: straight, strawberry blonde
Eyes: hazel
Physical: Holly is all limbs, average 12 year old girl height.

Pet: crup named Bailey
Wand: 10 inches, willow, dragon heartstring

Background: Holly grew up in a little cottage on a hill just outside the village across the river from McMillian. Her father (Jake Winston) and mother (Serenity) both work at the Ministry of Magic. She has an older brother, Jonathan, who was named for her mother's father (and father's mother's best friend) who died before her mother was even born.

Since she lives so close to the village, she spends a fair amount of time with her cousins Jack and Jamie and her brother John. This has made her a bit of a tomboy and rather athletic as she strives to keep up with her playmates.

Holly is polite and courteous but, she seems to have picked up a bit of her Aunt Quinn's temperament through her father so, she's bossy and almost always gets her way when she's got her heart set on something. That might be why she managed to talk her parents into getting her a crup when she was ten (though it probably had more to do with the fact that they were going through a rough patch in their marriage and were overcompensating for their distraction).

While she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, Holly loves transfiguration and wants to study to become an animagus.

Background Information

"The darkness..." covers the significant background information on her mother and father's time at Hogwarts and the circumstances leading up to her birth so, I won't bother getting into that since everyone involved with TD2 will have read all that. After Hogwarts, Day goes to live with Wyn and Jay at Winston manor where she gives birth to her daughter, Serenity. They stay there for a five years. Day qualifies as a healer and gets a job at St. Mungo's but, after a while she regains her confidence and equilibrium and begins to feel she has become a burden on the growing Winston family. She leaves with her daughter to make a new life for herself across the ocean in New Hampshire (sorry, I couldn't resist ).

Serenity attends the nearby, all girls, school, "The Salem Witches' Institute" (I don't know why but, the name just suggests all girls to me LOL). At the end of the Hogwarts equivalent of 6th year, Day encounters an old 'friend' in the form of Lucius Malfoy. He was supposed to be looking for Serenity but, bungled into Day who, after the encounter, immediately took Serenity and began to make her way back to the only place she knew her daughter would be safe: Hogwarts. Fearful that they would be followed, Day took over a year getting back to the United Kingdom, exchanging sporadic, cryptic, messages with Albus Dumbledore along the way. They arrive back in the UK just in time for Day to see Serenity onto the Hogwarts Express. She encounters her old friends, the Winstons, on the platform and goes back to live with them, once again.
