History

Evelyn Marie Larken was born to Sarah and Theodore Larken in Dublin, Ireland on June 27, 1995. She was the sixth and final child and the only daughter. Growing up her older brothers would always pick on her and tease her. Because of this Evelyn soon learned that have a strong will was the best way to survive her brother's. Evelyn's first sign of magic was when she was 4 years old. Her brothers had been attempting to drown her in a pond. As she was being held underwater she quickly realized that she was still able to breathe. Taking advantage of this she let herself sink to the bottom of the pond. Evelyn stayed underwater for almost and hour before coming up. Evelyn walked through the back door of her home to find her mother, father, and brothers sitting around the dining table with tear stained faces. When they saw Evelyn they surrounded her and hugged her. No one ever questioned what really happened. Since they were Muggles they just assumed it had been a very lucky circumstance.

As Evelyn continued to grow up in the countryside of Ireland many other strange things like that of the pond incident continued to happen. Evelyn's eldest brother mysteriously contracted a rare form of blisters after having attempting to attach Evelyn to the ceiling fan. Her youngest brother had a strange growth on his stomach after trying to force a disgusting concoction of random liquids down Evelyn's throat. There was never any explanation for these happenings in their Muggle minds until the day Evelyn received her Hogwarts acceptance letter.

During her first five years at Hogwarts Evelyn received top marks in all of her classes. She never joined any clubs or other activities because she felt they would take away from valuable time she could spend studying. Almost all of her free time was spent reading. She only went home to Ireland during the summer, choosing instead to study at school during winter breaks. To her Hogwarts is the only place she can show who she really is without the constant pestering of her brothers. After receiving Outstanding's in all of her OWL's she dropped most of her classes and proceeded to take only the ones she felt were most important and beneficial to her education. She feels that the current tetrawizard tournament is a very bad idea and extremely dangerous. She has openly refused to support the idea.
