Louise Blackthorn WIP

Louise grew up in a prominent wizarding family living in one of the hidden wizard townhouses in Grimauld Place. Louise lives with her mother and father (Violette and John Blackthorn) and her two older twin siblings (Beatrice (Bea) and Benjamin). Louise’s mother mostly stayed at home growing up, while her father worked in the ministry in the magical rules/ laws division. Her mother had attended Beauxbatons as she originally was from France, while her Father was a notable Alumni of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Louise was quite close with her older siblings growing up. Of course, there was always some fighting here and there as they are about two years older than her. Plus, since Louise is the youngest, her siblings do pick on her but it’s (mostly) harmless. Overall her relationship with her siblings was fairly normal.

Louise was always much closer to her mother than to her father, mostly due to the fact that Louise differs very much from her father and siblings. Her father puts the most pressure on her, especially about her house as he wants Louise to be a Slytherin like himself and her siblings. Louise's mother however always tried to nurture Louise's differences, making sure not to put too much pressure on her youngest child.

Growing up, Louise and her siblings attended a supplementary elementary school that was provided by the ministry for wizarding families. She learned the basics such as reading, writing, etc. in order to prepare to one day go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to study magic.

As the youngest, Louise always felt as though she was constantly in the shadow of her older siblings. Additionally, Louise had seen quite a few children before her end up being squibs at the end of their supplementary education. At only ten years old, Louise feels immense pressure to follow in the footsteps of her older siblings. While she is very close with her brother and sister, Louise still feels a sense of competition against them, even if she doesn’t show it.

Louise was a bit of a ‘late bloomer’ when it came to using magic, and her older siblings would not let her forget that fact. That spring when Louise was ten, she and her family went for a picnic in a park nearby their home. In that park, there happened to be a small pond where they decided to set up their picnic. Benjamin was twelve years old at the time and already sprouting up taller than Louise. As Louise was just about to begin tucking into her fairy bread, suddenly Benjamin hoisted her up into the air.

“Come on wheezy-“ He hollered, using the nickname he had so ‘lovingly’ given her as a child as he ran towards the pond, “If you’re a wizard you can stop me!”

Louise shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact of the cold water to hit her. But nothing came. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see the pond had been replaced with gelatin. Her eyes widened in disbelief as her family crowded her with excitement. Louise was a wizard, and she would be joining her family at Hogwarts!
