HISTORY: It was just forty–two minutes past midnight on February 28th, 1996 when Avery Lynn Stewart was born. Ewan and Sophie felt so blessed to have their daughter as they tried for many years to have children to no avail. The Stewarts lived a comfortable life in Dumfries, Scotland. Ewan Stewart came from a longline of pureblooded witches and wizards with your typical pureblooded ideology. When he was seventeen and graduated from Hogwarts, Ewan left the family with half of the fortune and married a muggle woman he met at a restaurant. Sophie became Sophie Stewart and the Stewarts disowned Ewan. Sophie was disbelieving about magic until he showed her after they married. Ewan worked as a reporter specializing in criminal activity while Sophie became a nurse.

Ava first showed signs of magic when she was just four years old. Young Avery was so stubborn and refused to eat her peas. Sophie couldn’t understand why every time she set her daughter down in the high seat, she’d escape. It wasn’t until Ewan witnessed the event that they realized it was her magic levitating her out of the chair. Her father, a huge Quidditch fan, taught her how to ride a broom at just five years old. He was so elated to have something to bond with his daughter over, as Ava took to the broom immediately.

When she turned eleven, she made the trip to Hogwarts for her first year. Sorted into Gryffindor, like her father, she finally felt like she found her place in the world. She made friends, joined the Quidditch team when she was able to, and became popular and well-liked. For the most part. Some of her… less desirable traits sometimes peeked through and turned people away.

The summer going into her fifth year, her father was working on a story. From what she understood, it revolved around the distribution of pixie dust. It was a huge piece for him and one he was very passionate about. His boss, however, warned him to drop the story. Ewan refused.

One day in late July, Ava left to visit a friend’s house and returned to find the most gruesome scene. Her parents… it is too horrifying to describe. They were murdered, clearly, in the worst of ways. The image still burns in her mind to this day. With no other family to claim her, she was sent to the orphanage before Mickey Darling, owner of the paper her father worked for, adopted her.

She went from being an only child, to the adopted sibling of a large family. Wound still fresh from her parent’s death, she hoped she’d find a new home when she was brought into the Darlings. But instead she found loneliness.
