HEY Y'ALL. Max here with a brand new pufflehuff.

Gertie Goyle is nineteen years old and graduated Hogwarts class of 2003. That means that she overlapped with those in the trio's year during their seventh year of Hogwarts when Voldie was in power, as well as their optional second seventh year. Anyone younger than the trio would have had more opportunity to interact with her, and anyone older than the trio would be unlikely to know her at all unless they had some other connection. She was dorm-mates with Leah's little sister.

Her dad died in the battle of hogwarts and her brother Greg went to prison, so it was just her and mum for a while. But then mum lost her marbles, so she spent some (yet undetermined) years living under the care of the social worker Cecil Frobisher. She didn't really interact with Vic because there was such an age gap, but she became close friends with another foster sister and fellow Death Eater kid, NPC foster-sister Josie.

That's enough history I think. Nowdays Gertie is a Witch Weekly intern who'd really rather work at the Prophet like her dad. But not like her dad because he's a terrorist. She's extremely clever and sarcastic, but she's also kind of immature. She's very inexperienced in the ways of the world, and definitely hasn't figured out how to be a grown-up yet. She lives with Greg and relies on him for almost everything. In return she (very secretly) pads their budget with money she makes writing erotica for a very seedy women's magazine called Glamour de l'Amour. The sex scenes are decent, but she's definitely not writing from experience.

So... that's baby Goyle. I don't know if she'll really be able to get much interaction but I'm really excited about her. Any possible connections?
