Your Story Please?

Helga was born to Katelyn and Jonathan McFerrin, she was the second born and only daughter. Her Brother Cailin was 6 years older than her, though there were far apart in age, they were as close as brother and little sister could be. Their father Jonathan was the owner of the local market shop, and farmed their food on their small farm. Their mother Katelyn stayed home, other than taking care of her two children, she fed the amimals and often took goods to the village square to sell. All was very normal in their small family until tails started to spread of odd things happening around Katelyn and her children. Vanishing into thin air, foating objects, and catching things on fire. Soon witch craft was accussed of Katelyn. Dispite Jonathans best efforts he could not convince his peers to spare his wife.. To wash him his wife's dark magic he and his young children were to watch Katelyn's execution, guilt by witchcraft.

After Katelyn’s death, Jonathan took his son and daughter to his widowed Sisters house so his children could still have a mother figure. Things eventually got a little better, though not as good as it was. Cailin struggled with school, and Jonathan struggled with work and money as the higher lords raised the taxes. Helga however was inside herself since her mother’s death, as she rarely spoke and merely hide in her room and read books she asked her brother to bring her from the local school after she had been taught to read. After months alone her Aunt finally decided enough was enough and literally dragged her 8 year old niece outside to face the world again.
However the child’s depression merely deepened as she was taken to the village with her Aunt meeting and greeting the very people who sentenced her mother to death and yet still looked at her in sympathy.. It wasn’t her mother’s fault she was who she was; she never hurt anyone, just accidently scared people. Anger soon festered in her from the constant stares and pity. Until one day when she finally went to the school with her brother she saw how he was treated and her how her father’s market was avoided.. None of it was fair in her mind.

One day she couldn’t take it anymore, it was just after her 10th year of life and she felt like something was trying to get out of her it was a bizarre feeling. She something was coming, then she heard a whispered comment form a passerby about her father and how he was more the town drunk then anything. Her eyes saw red and before she even knew what she was doing or how it happened she charmed the person’s voice to vanish and eyes go gray and sightless… after the shock of what happened Helga took off and ran from the village as fast as her legs could go. She was eventually found by a traveling family who brought her back home, when she revealed what happened however would change her life forever.

As it turned out the people who found her on the road were witches and wizards… Who knew how to use their powers and control them. They offered for Helga to go with them, so she could learn to control her magic. She wanted to go, yet she didn’t… her family was important to her… She would miss them more then she could ever imagine, but if she stayed after what happened in the village square she would only bring them more heart ache. So after a lot of thought, well as much thought as she could have in those few hours she agreed to go with them, with the mindset to learn to control her powers.
Her father was not taking kindly to the idea if his only daughter going off with people he didn’t know or trust. He demanded the strangers leave and let his daughter would stay at home with him. However in the midst of his rant, the villagers approached the farm calling for the death of young Helga. The Wizards and Witches in the group asked if they wanted help to get to safety before the mob reached the house. Jonathan however resisted not trusting the magic users. So Jonathan went out to face the charging mob and try to assure them what happened would never happen again.

However The villagers would have none of it, and were convinced Jonathan was under the spell of his possessed daughter. Helga was being held by her aunt by the wizards while Cailin was unfortunately witnessed his father being beaten to death, by their neighbors. Then Helga’s Aunt looked to the magical people in her home, with her brother now dead and the blood thristy villagers coming to her house, she begged the magic users to take them with them and educate Helga in the arts. By that point most the witches had already left leaving only 2 wizards to aid the broken family.

That night Helga’s world was once again turned upside down as she and her remaining family were whisked away.

They people who helped them were really scholars of the wizarding world set to seeking out new magic bloodlines, as if was recently found out, muggles were giving birth to magic-kind.

Helga was pushed into her studies right away, even though she was still in the midst of grieving for her father. Her brother was allowed to stay with her for a few weeks, as he violently refused to leave his younger sisters side. Their Aunt had to leave once it was said the memories of the villagers were modified of her involvement.. she then went back to her life, promising her niece and nephew she would keep on touch.

Cailin eventually had to leave the scholars university to join royal army of the local king. Helga studied and worked hard, with the scholars though if she was at all honest, she was miserable. The scholars though smart and knew what they taught were hardly sociable or friendly for a young girl turning into a woman. The only other person she saw on moments of her free time was a young man named Maric Hufflepuff a new wizard much like her, who majored in the study of magical plants, while she majored the study of magical potions. The area’s were close in relation, so often they were seen together.
As the years passed Helga soon neared the limit to what the scholars could teach her. So upon her 16th year she left the Scholarly with the young Herbalogist Meric Hufflepuff, whom she soon married. Together they did their own research into magical plants and their properties in some potions. She also soon went back to the scholars seeking to join them in the quest to seek out new witches and wizards to educate, she was allowed the placement and was to tutor in the areas of potions and assist with healing magic’s.

She was also reunited with her older brother at long last, She had been overjoyed to hear he has survived the wars in other kingdoms and managed to find a wife as well as have a daughter of his own, little Anna who was already 5 years of age, and according to Cailin, a witch as well. Helga made a mental note to keep watch on her little niece, and teach her all she could so she would be safe from the witch hunts that happened more and more often in the muggle villages.

As more time passed Helga found out she and Meric were to have a child. Due to the pending venture into motherhood Helga choose to leave the scholars and raise her family. By the age of 18 she gave birth to a baby girl whom she named Isemay Renee Hufflepuff.

Helga enjoyed being a mother immensely never had she loved another being so much. Little Isemay was a light in her life along with Meric, who had opened a Herbalogy Research business in cooperation with the Scholarly in a wizarding village to support his new family. Word of the Hufflepuff’s business grew as new ways of using Plants properties came to light for potions and other uses. Helga also began researching the effective potions as Isemay got older. Eventually more potent potions were made and Helga even started writing her own book on the recipes and formulas, which she was able to sell to the scholarly university.
As more years went by The Hufflepuff’s grew more successful though they were still a small name in the wizarding world, a small research foundation run by Scholars and muggle born witch and wizard. They were still a name nonetheless, which was how Helga liked to think it. With research and helping the scholars teach newly discovered witches and Wizards, in addition to her family Helga was never happier.

Then it was the summer that Helga turned 23 that found out she was carrying her and Maric’s second child, that her whole world changed once again.
Helga didn’t know for sure what happened that night, it was the night she went into labour with there second child. Something was wrong and desperately needed a healer or her and her child would die. Meric, despite his herbal knowledge knew his wife need more help then he or the midwife could give. So he took off in to the night to seek a healer before it was to late.

He retured to find his wife poor health and the midwife concered the bady maybe beyond hope or magic. However had what help he had found do what he could to save Helga and the undorn child. The Man Meric had returned with was a dark Wizard, he used old blood magic to stengthen and help Helga deliver her baby feet first…
When Helga awoke she found her new born Son healthy and fast asleep under the watchful eye of the midwife and his new big sister, but no sign of her husband or the mysterious stranger that saved the life of her son and herself. The Midwife told her after she fainted after the delivery the stanger and Meric made sure both she and the infant would live, and then simply left. Meric only stopped long enough to leave a golden chalace on Helga’s bedside and kiss his children goodbye before leaving with no further explaintion.

Helga held out much hope that her husband would return and explain what had happened. She hoped he was merely repaying the stanger for helping them. But as weeks turned to months, Helga had to admit even her hope was fadeing that she would ever see her husband alive again.
Now alone with a Infant and a young child, Helga had to hold her grief back and continue working to care for her children, and work she did. Months turned to years and her children grew quickly as well as her place in the university. She became one a full time scholar at the university and one of the most active professors in the potion department. However the muggle born witches and wizard populous was growing even more the in the past years and there were eventually too many for how much the small University could hold.

What was needed was a much bigger building and more scholar’s in more areas of expertise willing to pass that knowledge on to others. After pulling many strings with the scholars and a few favors Helga sent out word throughout the wizarding world about conference concern the development of a magical school, despite the fact only 3 others came to the meeting not including the scholars from the university, Helga was fascinated by the two men and women who came. They were all very different and certainly had different ideas for the school. Helga’s hope after the meeting they could agree on a combination of their visions of the school. They just might come out with something successful.

With her two children in toe and the blessing from the passive Scholars of the university Helga went to the site where Hogwarts school would soon stand and start its first year in operation.




Magic Side:The Light side, mostly, though is very open minded to other magic’s as well, has never rejected the study of dark magic’s merely the concept of putting them into practice.

Helga walked through the large and silent halls of the their new school which was named Hogwarts. The name made her laugh actually it sounded funny… Really whoes idea was it anyway? To name a school after ugly bumps on a pig, she couldn’t remember whose Idea it was, perhaps it was Godric’s as she couldn’t picture Rowena or Salazar coming up with a name like Hogwarts.

Along with her were her two children, her 15 year old daughter Isemay, already a promising young witch and a lovely young lady fairly reserved yet strong minded when the situation called for it. She was with her mother through everything and knew the burden her mother carried with her father’s disappearance after her brothers birth.. She was furious with her father still to this day for leaving like that. She was protective of her younger brother for certain… and tried her best to look after him and keep him out of trouble for their mothers sake…
“When will the school open Mother?” she asked curiously while holding her brothers hand not wanting him to wonder off.

“It will start within the next few weeks dearest, it is still a debate who will attend the classes.. Unfortunately it is still in question” She said with a sigh.
Warin tried to squirm out of his sisters reach, feeling like a baby always being in his older sister clutches.
Sending a glare at his sister he voiced to his mother, “What do you mean mother? Don’t all witches and wizards need to learn magic?” he asked as he finally yanked himself free of Isemay and ran to the other side of his mother sticking his tounge out at her at the same time.

Isemay half heartedly tried chasing her brother while listening to her mothers answer.
“Yes dear they do… however it isn’t as simple as that, my colleagues are professionals and have the right to choose their own pupils to teach, unfortunately we all have different opinions on which…. Kind of witches and wizards will be taught by us here…” Helga tried to explain… though she had a feeling she wasn’t making much sense to her child.

Isemay looked at her mother for a moment, “Which kind of Witch and Wizards are the others looking for?” she asked…
“Ah.. Salazar Slytherin wants to teach only pureblooded witches and wizards.. Why I am not completely sure.. Though I know he has his own reasons. Rowena Raveclaw wants the most open minded I suppose, the smartest children. Godric Gryffindor chooses the bravest, and you two know me… I have no preference, as long as they wish to be taught I will teach…” she finished. As she opened the door to the great hall she heard her son mutter something that would likely change to outcome of the next meeting for a fated end..

“Why not make everyone happy mother?” he asked as if it was the most simple solution in the world…
Helga smiled, “I wish it was as easy as that Warin, but I think a solution will present its self soon. After all we all want this school to succeed, it was only succeed if we can teach children.. I have faith that want to succeed with be enough for us to come to agreement…” she told as she summoned goblets of water and bowl of fruit for her children.
