Biography: I was adopted at birth by my father, Mark Hartley, and mother, Rose Hartley. I do not know my birth parents personally, but I was told my story a few years ago by my adopted parents, the Hartleys. My birth father became AWOL due to "personal matters," as Mrs. Hartley says, which left my mother to raise me alone. I was then told about how my mother did not have the time or money to take care of a child, as she was also on the lam at the time due to a crime she had committed. So she consulted her best friends at the time, who happened to be the Hartleys, and out of love for their struggling friend, they decided to adopt me and save me from being raised in alternative care if my mom were to get caught. My birth parents' names are Jack Mackamore and Amy Mackamore. I do not know where my birth parents are, but I know I am happy where I am. My relationship with my adopted parents has always been good, and they have raised me well. We are not as close as my brother and I, but my brother and I's relationship is very good; he is my best friend and tries to help me in any way he can. My brother's name is Dakota Hartley, and he is my adoptive parents' son. I am the only kid they adopted! I live in a large house with my adopted parents and brother, who is also a Pureblood due to the Harteys being Pureblood withces and wizards. I am Pureblood, along with my adopted family. My adopted parents told me that both of my parents were Purebloods as well, which is how I know I am one too. But I do not boast about my blood; regardless of my family's beliefs, I think everyone is equal and deserves to be treated equally. I am also currently 11 years old, and I am very excited and hope to attend Hogwarts!

The ministry captured both of the birth parents a few weeks after the adoption of Jace Mackamore, now Jace Hartley, after being found doing experimental breeding and illegally breeding basilisks and selling them to dark wizards for 500-700 gold galleons. Jace is unaware of what her parents have done, but due to the press, there is a chance she will one day find out where her parents have been all this time and what crimes they committed. Her parents were sentenced to Azkaban with a 25-year sentence due to the severity of their crimes, along with bargaining with Dark Wizards.

First Instance of Magic: My first instance of accidental underage wandless magic was when I unlocked my brother's locked door. I was 8 years old when I used wandless magic. I attempted to enter my brother's room to take his pet snake to prank my parents, but his room was locked as usual. I heard a slight clicking noise as I tried to jiggle the lock and open it. So I investigated after being taken aback and startled, hoping it wasn't someone watching me who accidentally made a noise. But as I looked around and saw no one, I tried to open the door again, and with one twist, I noticed the door unlocked. I did not mean to use the magic, but when the door opened, I was very excited. So I made sure no one was looking, and I ran into his room, grabbed his snake, and then moved on to the prank. When the prank finished, I told my parents (adopted parents) that I had my first instance of underage wandless magic. They were excited to hear and upset that I opened my brother's room and took his snake for a prank, but the conversation went well overall.

(Dakota's pet snake passed away mid-July last year due to old age.)
