BIO: Natalie Phillips
Natalie Phillips
Daddy wanted her to be a boy
Natalie is short, but quirky, and always on the defensive. She is very used to having to deal with people who make fun of her height. She's quick on the uptake, and often has a comeback out of her mouth before there's even been an insult. She has a sharp mind for thinking outside the box, but not a great deal of patience for anything that requires factual knowledge. She doesn't take bullying well, and if she sees another student suffering from it she's quick to defend. She can hold her own in any duel, whether physical or magical, and though she can be quick to start them, she can more often be found in the library curled up with a good book.
Nat is a 5th year Slytherin, and a Chaser on the Slythein Quidditch Team. Her best subject is Transfiguration, and her worst is History of Magic. She has a 9" wand of oak and unicorn hair. Her boggart is various students ignoring her / mocking her because of her height, and her patronus is a jack rabbit.

The children of Harry Potter and the others of that time have never experienced the first-hand suspicion and fear that those around them could be working for a Dark Lord. Inter-House relations at Hogwarts are at an all-time high (with exceptions, of course), and the thought of anything worse than a harmless grudge are far from the children's minds. Until now. Hoping to establish stronger ties with the wizarding world in general, the Ministry once again instated the Tri-Wizard tournament last term. Despite initial reluctance over the tournament's safety record, things seemed to go smoothly as Beuxbaton's Champion won the day.
The European Quidditch Cup is set to be held in August and certain circles have been spreading rumors. Those who are against the Ministry are ready to act, and a meeting is to be held during the Cup to decide on the best course of action. With some of the most influential pureblood families stepping forward to stop what the wizarding world has been achieving, only time will tell whether the new and improved Ministry will stand or fall.
