Cinder Blaze - Beauxbatons 2nd Year

Marie Blaze, who was a massive dragon enthusiast, lived in a small apartment in central London, with her husband, Michael Blaze. During their marriage, they had two children, called Spark and Flame.

However, the year that Spark turned 18, Michael died as, while he was casting “Incendio”, to light the fire in the living room of their flat, he lost concentration, causing the spell to hit the gas pipes for the house, setting the flat on fire.

When Spark was 22 and Flame was 16, Spark got married to another wizard called Thomas, a half-blood who she knew from her time at Hogwarts.

Then, the year that Flame turned 18, Marie got offered an amazing opportunity: a job in a family-run dragon sanctuary in rural southern France. Marie was going to move there herself, however, Spark and Flame didn’t want their beloved mother to live by herself, in a completely different country, so the whole family (Marie, Spark and Thomas, Flame) moved to the sanctuary, where in a few years, Marie ended up running the business.

Then, a few years later, Flame became pregnant, however no-one knew who the father was. When Cinder was born Flame unfortunately died in childbirth, so Cinder was brought up by Marie, Spark and Thomas.

As Cinder grew up, she was desperate to help around the sanctuary, however she was always told that she had to wait until she was older, which, although it annoyed her, she learnt to accept it.

She was home schooled for all of her life, never really getting to communicate with other children, apart from a few who lived in the little village next to the sanctuary. This made her a bit antisocial, however she is still friendly, and happy to talk to people.

She never really missed her mum, as she'd never got to meet her, but she also often wondered who her father was, as she wanted to know whether he was alive or not.

Her father was actually one of the pure-blooded families who lived in the village, who Flame had met while doing errands around the village. He never knew that Cinder was his daughter, as, while Flame was pregnant, she’d stayed in the dragon sanctuary.

Despite this, she’d never wanted to leave the dragon sanctuary to go and find him, because she loved living with her grandma, aunt and uncle, and she wanted to run the sanctuary at some point when she was an adult.

Cinder was extremely excited to get to go to Beauxbatons, because the rest of her family had all gone to Hogwarts, because of living in England. She was looking forwards to going as she could tell her family all about it, in return for their stories of Hogwarts, and magical lives in England.
