Biography:
“You will love Hogwarts just as much.” Antonia Calloway assured her eleven year old daughter as they lingered by the entrance hall of Beauxbatons Academy, which loomed around them like a chateau from a fairy-tale. She had spent her first year here and adored every moment. Neither wanted to mention the looming cloud over their heads that was the eerie and sinister business dealings of Claudia’s father. Maybe leaving Beauxbatons, and France itself, was for the best.
“I will try.” Claudia replied, feeling slightly contrite after kicking up such a fuss about the change, though her heart still ached to leave. Her mother smiled and squeezed her shoulder. Claudia could still feel the sting of her tears in her eyes.
It was early afternoon, and the courtyard was bustling with students getting ready to bid farewell before the summer holidays, exchanging addresses to write and boasting about exciting summer plans ahead. Professors and parents of graduating seventh years were clustered together under some blooming cherry blossom trees, waiting for the end of the day to arrive.
In the middle of the courtyard, a large and ornate fountain played joyously, with soft-cheeked cherubs pouring babbling water into the dancing blue below. As they floated around the fountain, they giggled and sang.
Claudia stopped to bid adieu to a group of fellow students, their words tumbling out in French and Dutch, demanding letter correspondence now that Claudia will be so far away. Antonia felt a swell of pride and guilt, realising her daughter had more friends than she thought.

Option I:
The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.
A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.
The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.
Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.
Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.
If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.
Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.
"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.
Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.
"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"
The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.
Roleplay Response:
“Well, it’s not as pretty as Beauxbatons.” Claudia said smugly to her new Slytherin friend; a black-haired second year girl who was now severely regretting asking Claudia her thoughts on Hogwarts. “I miss it so much.” She mourned, as the two walked down the main dungeon corridor.
Before the other girl could speak, Claudia continued abruptly, “But, I had no choice! My parents whisked me away from Beauxbatons at the end of first term so that we could be closer together here in Britain.” This was a lie. After one of her fathers nebulous business ventures went into liquidation, he and Claudia’s mother decided that leaving France and returning to the United Kingdom was a smarter financial move.
“At Beauxbatons, there is a bewitched, beautifying fountain.” Claudia continued as the two rounded a corner into the main dungeon corridor.
“The ceiling of the Great Hall is impressive I suppose, but where are the Wood Nymphs who sing to us while we eat?” She asked, not necessarily to her companion. As the two rounded another corner, they came face to face with a small blonde girl who had just taken a deep breath and unknowingly belted into Claudia’s face.
“Hello! Is Emma Birch here?”
Claudia reared away in fright, dropping her books. “Merlin!” She cursed, her face flushed as her heart raced. “You nearly gave me a heart attack.”
