Della Edwards | First year | Slytherin

Full Name: Della Alice Edwards
History/Background Story: Della grew up with her mother, sister and grandparents. Her father had divorced them and might have been a wizard, no one would tell her, but she had found a very old wand in her house basement full of old hogwarts things with her fathers name on it when she was six that didn't belong to her grandma and had her father's name on the back, and Della concluded she was the daughter of a wizard. Her grandmother confirmed this, saying this was her father's old school wand and now used a new one he had bought after graduation from Hogwarts, but would tell her no more. She was a witch though, but Della's mother was a squib and so was her grandfather. She grew up knowing of the existence of the wizarding world but becoming adept at all things muggle as well.
She especially enjoyed going on nature walks with her mum but she was so busy that this didn't happen often. She was sent to a muggle school because there was a good chance she would turn out to be all muggle, like her grandfather and mum. She was always one of the oldest in her grade, and resented the fact that she was always kept a year behind and felt she was certainly smart enough to be in the year above. Unfortunately, no one messed with the school system so there was nothing she could do. When she found out she was accepted into hogwarts, she was so happy! Her mother wished her good luck in the wizarding world and her sister promised to write to her every day.
First instance of magic: Della's first instance of magic happened when she was six. When she was helping out in her house with her mother, in the kitchen, a slight explosion in the frying pan happened, with large drops of burning oil flying everywhere. Scared, Della backed away, even though she knew that wherever she moved, oil would fall on her. Surprisingly, no oil fell on her, and it all moved away as if she were a magnet repelling the oil. Her mother told her it would have been her first instance of magic and she was thrilled.
