History

 

Simon Hope, son of Psychologist Rowena Hope and Healer Bob Hope, attended Hogwarts Scotland in 2012 at the customary age of 11 and was sorted into Hufflepuff House to no surprise to his family. He became prefect in his fifth year, but unfortunately did not become Head Boy. He graduated in 2018 and continued living with his family in their home in New Zealand. He met Annabelle Renaud on a trip to France with his parents in 2020 at 19 years of age. They kept in contact for a couple of years, sending each other owls, until they finally saw each other again a year later and began dating. Annabelle moved in with Simon in a new apartment that he purchased, and Annabelle paid him rent. He worked as a Curse Breaker at the Ministry of Magic whilst she was a Magizoologist. They married in 2027.

 

In 2028, Bob Hope passed away, and this was when Simon decided on a career change. He became a healer to follow his father’s footsteps and finish off his job. This was around the time Annabelle fell pregnant with twins. Annabelle and Simon moved out into a decently-sized home for them. The twins were born on the 1st of June, 2029. They were identical twins and the only real difference was Eleanor’s rounder face and a faded freckle on Lilyanna’s cheek. Personality wise however, they were very much different. Lilyanna was always quieter, more stubborn, and much less likely to take risks.

 

In 2040, Lilyanna and Eleanor began attending Hogwarts New Zealand at the customary age of 11. They were sorted into Slytherin House and Hufflepuff House respectively. Both of them did quite well in school, with Eleanor finding her love for Herbology quickly in her first year and Lilyanna also quickly finding her love for Astronomy. As soon as she could, Eleanor picked up a job at the Ice Cream shop, wanting to make some money that she knew she would need for her future.

 

Lilyanna was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome in 2043. She did well in subjects that didn’t require the use of magic as she found it terribly hard to use her wand. The same year, Eleanor became the Queen of Flowers for the Wild Patch Club and organised a time capsule to be planted in a nearby park, resulting in lots of popularity. Lilyanna also began writing articles for the Hogwarts Monthly alongside her friend Diane Winters. 

 

Eleanor met Jerara Tapsell, a Ravenclaw two years below her, in late 2043 during the Yule Ball. They were very good friends. Jerara worked at Honeydukes, which was a sweets store, and he often bought sweets for her which they hung out and ate together during their free time. They began dating in November, 2044.

 

Both girls became prefects in their fifth year. In 2045, Lilyanna came out as Lesbian to her family. Eleanor organised a Pride Event to take place at Hogwarts on her behalf. Lilyanna also began dating Diane Winters, which was kept a secret at first but soon became official, with Eleanor being the first to find out.

 

Eleanor and Jerara broke up the year she graduated due to distance, however they still kept in close contact and stayed as friends. Her and Lilyanna moved out in a small cottage near the countryside where Eleanor had an abundance of plants growing in a greenhouse that she donated to charity. It wasn’t until 5 years after they graduated that Lilyanna became the Astronomy professor at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, whilst Eleanor ran a business selling her plants as potions ingredients. She still gave some to charity and even kept her job at the Ice Cream shop.
