Hi, I'm Brandi, and I'm new here! :D I'm 26, taking my Last Class Ever (Unless I Decide To Torture Myself And Get a PhD), so if I suddenly disappear, blame grad school.
And this is Mary! She's a Gryffindor 5th year. Last summer, the last night before the train ride home for the summer, she was attacked by Mulciber. A summer home alone with a family that didn't care enough to wonder why she was holing up in her room all summer really didn't help things at all. So she's a bit avoid-y of everyone right now, esp boys. So. Yes.
Oh, and she's a muggleborn. And she's really dreadful at anything that involves wandwork. Or copious amounts of reading. Or basically anything except Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. But she's really good in those two classes.
