## Biography

### Early childhood

Misty Dawn Harbor was born in 2025 to Jason and Courtney, as their middle child and third daughter. She has two older sisters Sunny Spring and Summer Rose, and two younger brothers Zephyr Cloud and Leaf Garland. Misty was born four years after her sisters Sunny and Summer, two years before her brother Leaf, one year before her brother Zephyr. In 2034, Misty was attacked by a mysterious hooded figure while hiding from her brothers in Knockturn Alley. When her brothers found her the boys hollered shouting for their parents or anyone to come help them. Their father Jason appeared quickly, their mother arrived as well to tend to the wound at Misty's throat, her father chased down the hooded figure while her brother's gathered around their mother fearfully. Jason was the only one fully aware of what would become of his youngest daughter, Courtney on the other-hand was reluctant. Misty was hospitalized until Healers were able to ascertain how detrimental to her the wound she received truly was, and what the following course of action was for the young girl and her family.

She was believed to be a late-bloomer although her fist sign of magic happened moments after her birth. Misty was born with pneumonia, and weak lungs that were not yet fully developed. One collapsed within her first 24 hours of life, she magically inflated her weakest lung giving Healers time to discover that she was in respiratory distress. Misty was not healed by this, although she did recover somewhat she was diagnosed with asthma when she was two years old. Her inherited vampire blood proved to be beneficial in terms of her physical health. Misty no longer suffers from asthma, although she does have to drink blood, and she experiences a mild-severe aversion to garlic, and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Her acceptance letter from Hogwarts was delivered late, she was upset to learn that her pen friend from Uganda received a token in her sleep. Jason and Courtney were unconcerned, they remembered their letters arriving differently. They also recall being groomed for their respective houses, and being sorted. Jason came from a long line of Gryffindors, and while Courtney is descended from Ravenclaws.

The Harbor children were home-schooled between the ages of seven and eleven. Misty began after her ninth birthday. Misty and her brothers, Zephyr and Leaf, were sharing a tutor while Sunny and Summer were at Hogwarts. Misty, Zephyr and Leaf were learning about Herbology. Leaf purposely prodded the Mimbulus Mimbletonia covering himself, Zephyr, and Misty in stinksap. Misty complained endlessly, Zephyr managed to escape with least amount of sap on him, all the while Leaf pretended to gag at the smell despite how truly awful it was. They all learned a valuable lesson that day, and it was not about Herbology. Misty learned that her reflexes are slower than she would like them to be, and Zephyr learned to pay a little more to what is happening around him, and Leaf learned to maybe stop and listen to that little voice in his head. Misty felt vindicated when she carefully filled her brother Leaf's room with puffapod seeds. He randomly found flowers in his room for a few years after that prank. He tried to get her back and succeeded by charming her hair, changing it from brown to red.

Tutoring lessons had been a great joy of Misty's, not that she enjoyed sharing them with her brother, she did like learning about magic. She was sad when she had to say goodbye to her tutor although she knew Zephyr and Leaf would still be taking lessons. Misty's sadness was washed away when her acceptance letter arrived, she had her all about it from her father, her mother and from Sunny and from Summer, it had annoyed her intensely by that point. Finally it was her turn to tell the same kind of stories she heard from Sunny and Summer to Zephyr and Leaf. She didn't have the words at the time, she was stricken speechless of course. No thought excited her more than getting her wand, that first swish and flick at the behest of Mr. Ollivander. The excitement didn't wear off after she brought her wand home for the first time either, in fact, it was confiscated by her parents a number of times before she left for Hogwarts. She was even warned it might be permanently taken away when she was not in school if her marks where not what they knew she was capable of achieving.
