Biography: Alina was born on the 18th October in London with her twin brother Fyodor. Her parents, Ivan and Alyssia, moved there from Russia soon after her older sister Maria was born 4 years earlier because there weren´t any great wizarding schools there. Maria will be attending her 5th year at Hogwarts, while Alina and Fyodor will only start their first this year. The Devinan family was one of the most known pureblood families in Russia, mostly because of their wealth. Alina and Fyodor were homeschooled, but Fyodor still went out and had many friends he was quite popular, Alina on the other hand didn´t have any friends, she was happy on her own. Alina loved to read, she read many poetry books, especially Russian. She was proud to be Russian. She loved to read books about magic too. Her favorite books were about potion-making. It was a really precise form of magic and she valued that. She enjoyed books about difficult spells and their history too. Fyodor and Alina didn´t get too well, but they were still close. She loved sitting with Fyodor in the living room and listening to him talk about his day with friends. Her sister Maria was a great tutor to her, as she was already attending Hogwarts. Maria always had something interesting to teach Alina, and Alina always listened. She kept many notebooks in which she wrote her thoughts and things she had learned from every book and every interaction in her life. In her home, she spoke mostly Russian but was good at English too, great even. Her family valued her traditions, and always went to church at Christmas and Easter. She always knew she would make a prestige witch, now she had a chance to prove it.

First Instance of Magic:
¨December 24,¨ Alina wrote in her potions notebook, ¨Bezoar - A stone-like mass taken from a goat's stomach. Used as an antidote for common poisons.¨Poisons and antidotes. Argyle Oncitate¨.¨ She put down her quill and continued reading.
¨Алина, Фёдор!¨ Her mom shouted from the kitchen ¨пряники
готовы. ¨ (Alina, Fyodor! The gingerbreads are ready.) Alina got up very fast and ran down the stairs. She and her brother have always raced to get the first gingerbread because they believed that it gave good luck for a year. She was already at the counter, but Fyodor was already there.
¨Ha ha,¨ he laughed reaching for the gingerbread, ¨I beat you to it¨
¨Poof!¨ the gingerbread just crumbled before Fyodro could get it, and Alina was looking right at it.
¨Ах, Алина, это не было твоё первое магия?" Alyssia asked. (Oh, Alina, wasn´t this your first magic?)
¨Yes, I think so.¨ she answered, it felt not so different but somehow empowering. Alina grabbed a gingerbread and ate it.
¨Oh, Fyodor, I won¨ she said with a full mouth, while crumbles fell out of it.
¨Not fair. How could she have her first magic before me and eat the cookie?¨ Fyodor frowned and took a gingerbread. Alina was so happy. She rushed to find Maria and told her all about it, dramatizing everything.
