Sophia Knight

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Sophia is a Ravenclaw Graduate (Class of 2016). Daughter of Tarron and Aisling Knight, sister to Rowena. A very careful and cautious child, Sophia is very much the best of both of her parents. A good student with the ability to enjoy the life around her without disturbing her studies, she proves to be a great addition to her house. She is a caring, kind, friend to those she keeps close to her, but is far too practical to include very many in that circle.

History

The second child by a separation of hours, Sophia was born early one morning during the Second Wizarding War. In the cool, crisp almost autumn night she came quietly, and to this day remains so. With her mother being a muggle-born witch, they did their best to go by unnoticed, and lived in a small apartment in London. However, in February of 1998 an incident, which neither sister remembers, had their mother pulled from their home and taken to Azkaban.

The end of the war came, but still remains the shadows. Aisling returned to her family, and they all moved into a new estate in London to start anew.

In years growing up, both girls were tutored in subjects well rounded, but it was their mother that insisted they also be educated in muggle subjects. In doing so, Sophia found a deep love and appreciation of English Poetry, and could often be found with her nose down in an old leather bound edition of Edgar Allan Poe. Like her sister, Sophia was always interested in the subjects her father went on about, and she very rarely lost interest. Perhaps it was those early years, the ones that should have been forgotten that kept her weary of not being prepared—especially when it came to the law. She didn’t question like her sister, she simply absorbed every bit of information offered, and stored it for safekeeping.

By the time that Hogwarts rolled around, Sophia was very excited indeed, but also reluctant to leave. A very practical child she hated the idea of leaving her parents, and carries their picture always. Often it’s used as a marker for a page, but finds refuge each night beneath her pillow.
