HISTORY
Eliza is an only child. Her parents are a police officer and a teacher and both muggles. She had a relatively normal childhood. She had quite a few friends at school and in her neighbourhood. She grew up in the heart of London, which was quite busy, so she's used to a crowd. During the summer, she would go on little vacations with her parents, mostly around the U.K., but also in some close by countries too like France and the Netherlands.
Her childhood was fairly normal, no big tragedies or excitement. She was only eleven, after all. She was discovering the world and trying to do well at school. Of course, recess was the most fun for everyone. She loved playing with her friends. But she also loved some classes too. She was happy to do well in school, even though it wasn't the only thing she loved. She did like to read but really only for fun. Eliza would much rather go outside and play with her friends or go over to their house than be staying at home reading, though.
First Instance of Magic: When Eliza was eight, she was having dinner with her parents like any night. However, when she went to reach for the pepper, she reached for it and it just floated towards her. All three of them were fairly freaked out but her parents mostly forgot about it after a while. There were a few other instances which weren't very easily explained but her parents mostly denied that it happened or said there must be some scientific phenomena to explain it. But it all made sense when Eliza found out that she was a witch.
The most exciting thing to ever happen to her was receiving a visit from a professor at Hogwarts, who explained to her and her parents that Eliza actually was a witch. That was only the start of it. They had a trip to Diagon Alley to get her school supplies and then they waited and prepared for September 1st when Eliza would have to go away to school in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. Her parents were a little worried and Eliza was excited, even though she knew she would miss them.
