Amanda Brocklehurst grew up like most half-blood children; curious and confused. Her mother, Sarah, is a well respected journalist in the muggle world. She spends most of her time traveling the greater part of Europe covering different stories, much to Mandy’s displeasure. She spent many a nights of her childhood begging her mother to allow her to come along. Naturally, this was out of the question. Mandy misses her mother greatly, but she understands that her mother is happy at what she is doing. That’s all she wants from her mother, for her to be happy.
However, it’s quiet different with Mandy’s father. His high position in the Ministry of Magic has always held quite a deal more of importance to him than his family. Her goal-oriented father refused to give up his job in order to stay home with Mandy. If you ask why, he’ll tell you that he’s had his eye on the position of Minister of Magic for far too long to give it up for a small child. Their relationship isn’t rocky, just distant. They’ve never really gotten to know each other but Mandy wouldn’t pass the chance up to talk to him one on one.
Mandy has always admired her parent’s marriage. Being that she is a romantic at heart, she enjoys seeing couples stay together. Especially when they are as busy as her parents. She’d be surprised if they saw each other more than twice a week. An amazingly small amount of time, considering that they live under the same roof. It’s always given Mandy hope for her future. She’s always been waiting for the perfect guy to come and sweep her off her feet. It’s only a matter of time before it happens, and she knows that.
There’s a certain level of shock that comes with meeting Mandy and then meeting her parents. Both her mother and father are outspoken and aggressive people. Mandy’s quiet disposition throws people some people off. Her parents’ traits haven’t seemed to flourish in Mandy. She traded their outspoken nature in for her shy, quiet one. This also could come from the fact that she has no siblings and spent most of her childhood with an old lady that lived down the street. Ask anyone, the lady is nutters. The woman has taught Mandy everything from table manners to milking a cow. Some things, a little more useful than others. However, her nanny did teach her one thing that was useful beyond compare to milking a cow, or baking a cake. She taught her to respect and understand others. That’s where Mandy received her good heart.
As fun and exciting as Mandy’s childhood was, she was relieved to receive her acceptance letter to Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It meant a new amount of freedom into a world that had only been partially explained to her. Mandy’s curious desire to gain knowledge about everything was now even more excited to learn about spells and potions that she could only dream up in her mind. It also meant more friends than a nanny and the children that lived next door. They always thought she was strange, making stuff happen that neither her nor the children could explain.
Coming into her first year at Hogwarts, Mandy was sorted into Ravenclaw, where she fit in perfectly. Although she is quiet and slow at making friends, she has made enough to get her by. They’re a large part of her life. Without them, Mandy probably wouldn’t survive, they act as almost a part of her. She’s excelling wonderfully in school, charms being her best subject of them all. Besides her school work, Mandy is still stumbling over herself, trying to find out who she really is. Sooner or later, she’ll come into her own skin and learn to love herself for who she is.
