Lady Cosette Malfoy

**Lady Cosette Malfoy** (14 June, 1671 - 15 June, 1679) was the eighth child of thirteen born to Saturnius Malfoy, the 10th Duke of Wiltshire, and his wife Ambrosia Sidney, Duchess of Wiltshire. She was the younger sister of Lady Aurelia Malfoy, Lady Hermia Ollerton, Countess of Chester, and Lady Portia Black (née Malfoy). She was the twin sister of Lady Desdemona Rowle (née Malfoy).

She passed away aged seven of dragon pox. Her twin sister Desdemona lived on to survive to adulthood. She was the second of the four Malfoy sisters that did not survive childhood, after Ophelia.

## Biography

### Early life

Lady Cosette Malfoy was born on 14 June, 1671, to Ambrosia Sidney, Duchess of Wiltshire, along with her twin sister, Desdemona, who was born first. Her father was Saturnius Malfoy, the 10th Duke of Wiltshire, and she was their ninth child and daughter. The Lady Cosette was part of a string of children born soon after one another. She and her twin sister Desdemona were one year apart from twins Lucinda and Florinda.

Cosette died on 15 June, 1679, in Malfoy Manor, located in Marlborough, Wiltshire, of dragon pox. She was seven years old. She was the second of the four Malfoy sisters that did not survive childhood, as her older sister Ophelia had previously passed in 1677.

## Etymology

It comes from the French word “chose” (meaning "thing") plus the diminutive “ette” and therefore means “little thing”.

The name Malfoy translates to "bad faith".

## Biography

### Early life

Corvinus Nott was born on Hallowe'en in the year 1641 in Hang East, in North Yorkshire. The Nott lands were known to exist there since at least 1450, hidden away from muggles. He was presumably raised at the family estate, a magnificent mansion in North Yorkshire which lasted and later passed down for many centuries.

He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1653 to 1660 and was a member of Slytherin House. He inherited his father's seat on the Wizenagmot when he was 18 years old, following his death.

For a brief period he was infatuated with the daughter of Armando Gamp, Greta, but he was later forced to end the relationship by his mother. It was rumoured that their affair led to an illegitimate daughter, but modern claims of this cannot be proven.

#### Marriage

He married Aquila Malfoy I, the daughter of the wealthy Brutus Malfoy, 9th Duke of Wiltshire, in 1664. Together they had six children together, three of which survived to adulthood. They were Capricia, Corvinus II, Justinus, Philomel, Brutus, and Hermia. Capricia later became the wife of Nigellus Gaunt.

#### Death

Corvinus Nott died of natural causes on 14 December, 1689, at the age of 48. His wife, Aquila, was by his side. Following his death, his eldest, Corvinus II, inherited all of his land and titles.

## Issue

Corvinus Nott married Lady Aquila Malfoy I, daughter of Brutus Malfoy, in 1664. Together they had six children, three of which survived to adulthood.

## Etymology

The Latin name *Corvinus* derives from the Latin word *corvus,* meaning raven, although the word today refers to the birds' genus including ravens and crows among others.

Bruce Britton

## Bruce J. Britton

**Bruce J. Britton** (born 2 January, 1981) was a half-blood English wizard who attended Hogwarts from 1 September, 1992, to June of 1998, in the same year as Aquila Black and Ginny Weasley. He was born in Hadleigh Heath, Suffolk, East Anglia, and he had an older brother called Charles.

He was amongst the many students of Hogwarts who stayed to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998. It was also where he sadly lost his life.

## Biography

### Early life (1981-1992)

Bruce Britton was born on 2 January, 1981, in Hadleigh Heath, Suffolk, England. He was a half-blood wizard, and at least one of his grandparents was a muggle. He had an older brother, Charles Britton.

Hadleigh Heath, the town in which Bruce was born, is an ancient market town and civil parish in South Suffolk, East Anglia, situated, next to the River Brett, between the larger towns of Sudbury and Ipswich. It is also one of the many villages throughout Britain where witches and wizards settled in numbers after the International Statute of Secrecy to rely on each other for mutual support, living alongside a Muggle population.

### Hogwarts years (1992-1998)

Bruce Britton received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1992. Before attending, he travelled to Diagon Alley, London, with his parents, where his father bought him a wand made of dogwood and unicorn hair.

He boarded the Hogwarts Express for his first year of school on 1 September, 1992, and later that night he was sorted into Ravenclaw. He shared a dormitory with three boys: they were Antoine Mathers, Richard Beasley, and Bertram Aubrey Jr.

He sat his O.W.L.s in June of 1997. He must have managed passing grades in Transfiguration, Charms, and Herbology, as he was present when the rest of the class progressed to N.E.W.T. level. Therefore, he must have achieved a minimum of three 'Acceptables'.

Bruce Britton was amongst the many students of Hogwarts who stayed to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998. It was also where he sadly lost his life. His name was included on a list of the Fallen Fifty, which was published a few days after the battle's conclusion. It is unknown who or what may have killed him. Britton was just seventeen at the time.

## Etymology

The English language name Bruce arrived in Scotland with the Normans, from the place name Brix, Manche in Normandy, France, meaning "the willowlands". Initially promulgated via the descendants of king Robert the Bruce (1274−1329), it has been a Scottish surname since medieval times; it is now a common given name.

His surname, Britton, derives from a Middle English surname meaning "a Briton" (a Celt of England) or "a Breton" (an inhabitant of Brittany).
Brennan Doyle

**Brennan Doyle** (born 22 January, 1972) was an Irish half-blood wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1 September, 1983 to June of 1990. He was born in Tuamgraney, County Clare, Ireland, into the Doyle family. He was an only child, but he had two cousins, Fiona and Mary Doyle.

After leaving school in 1990, Brennan moved to Liverpool, where he lived until the Second Wizarding War. In 1997, he was taken in to the Ministry of Magic for questioning but could not give the location of his muggle-born uncle, Brian, or father, Michael, up to the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. He and his cousin Mary were eventually arrested and would have been sent to Azkaban had they not escaped and went on the run.

## Biography

### Early life

Brennan Doyle was born on 22 January, 1972, to a muggle-born father and a muggle mother in Tuamgraney, a village in eastern County Clare in the west of Ireland and a civil parish by the same name. Situated a kilometre from the River Graney which flows into Lough Derg, the village where he grew up is an ancient settlement, noted for St Cronán's Church, said to be the oldest church in constant use in Ireland.

He had two cousins, Fiona and Mary, who later turned out to be witches as well. He grew up in Ireland in the midst of the beginning of the troubles, and on his father's side of the family the Doyles had struggles with the First Wizarding War. Brennan would have likely grown up aware of the dangers and warned of Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

He would have most likely celebrated with his family when the Dark Lord known as Voldemort was defeated on 31 October, 1981, by the infant known as Harry Potter.

#### Hogwarts years

He received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1983. That same summer, he visited Diagon Alley, located in London, and purchased a wand made of beech and dragon heartstring from Ollivander's Wand Shop. On 1 September, 1983, he boarded the train for Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw House that same night.

He left the school in 1990 upon the completion of his seventh year. His two cousins, Fiona and Mary, both attended the same school but were members of Gryffindor House.

### Later life

After graduation, Brennan moved to the city of Liverpool in England, where he lived until the outbreak of the Second Wizarding War.

He was taken in for questioning as to the whereabouts of his father, Michael Doyle, and uncle, Brian Doyle, along with his cousin Mary Doyle, in 1997 upon the activation of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission by the corrupt Ministry of Magic. He and his cousin Mary were eventually arrested for refusing to give up this information, but they escaped when Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley broke into the Ministry of Magic and unexpectedly freed several muggle-borns awaiting sentencing for their trials.

## Etymology

The name Brennan comes from an Irish surname derived from *Ó Braonáin* meaning "descendant of Braonán". *Braonán* is a byname meaning "rain, moisture, drop".

Doyle is a patronymic surname of Irish origin. The name is an Anglicisation of the Irish Ó Dubhghaill, meaning "descendant of Dubhghall".
Great Tolling

**Great Tolling** is a town in the civil parish of Evesham, in Worcestershire. The Cattermoles lived in this town prior to the events surrounding Mary Cattermole's interrogation before the Muggle-Born Registration Commission.

The town is located somewhat within the meander of the River Avon.

## History

### 20th Century

Otto Cattermole, a well-known Auror, moved to Great Tolling with his Curse-Breaker wife, Darcy Cattermole, and son, Reginald, in 1956. He continued to live there after the death of his wife in 1958, and raised his son on his own.

Reginald moved out of Great Tolling in 1974, but returned to Evesham in 1980 with his girlfriend Esia Dupont, who he met overseas in Australia. Their daughter, Maisie, was born in nearby Evesham in early 1981. Otto Cattermole was killed in action in late 1981 in the war, and Reginald inherited his father's house in Great Tolling.

His daughter Maisie was attacked as a young child in 1987, and his marriage fell apart. In 1988, he moved back to his childhood home in Great Tolling with his daughter. Then, his girlfriend Mary moved in, and they got married there in 1989.

Together, they had a son, Hiram, on 6 July, 1845. Then, seventeen years later, they had another son, Ernest Macmillan I, who most likely was not planned.

Ambrose Macmillan I became the grandfather to Ambrose Macmillan II, Tessa Abbott (née Macmillan), Lillian Carrow (née Macmillan), Caius Macmillan, and Hazel Macmillan, through his older son, Hiram, who married an American witch named Dolly Spindle. His younger son, Ernest I, married Ginevra Abbott in 1890, and they only had one daughter together, Rufa, who later married Neville Longbottom I.

## Etymology

*Ambrose* hails from the Late Latin name *Ambrosius*, which was derived from the Greek name Αμβροσιος (Ambrosios) meaning "immortal". Saint Ambrose was a 4th-century theologian and bishop of Milan, who is considered a Doctor of the Church.

Macmillan is a variant of a Scottish surname. The origin of the name derives from the origin of the Scottish Clan MacMillan. The progenitor of the Clan was said to be Airbertach, Hebridean prince of the old royal house of Moray.

Curtus Walkin II

**Curtus Walkin II** (28 September, 1794 - 14 July, 1802) was a half-blood English wizard and member of the Walkin family. The fourth child of Curtus Walkin I and Hester Walkin I (née Cole), he was the maternal grandson of Jonathan Cole, a muggle, and Sara Cole (née Chittock), a pure-blood witch. He died young, in the year 1802 of unknown causes.

## Biography

### Early life (1794-1802)

Curtus Walkin II was born on 28 September, 1794, in Tinworth, Cornwall, England, to Hester Walkin (née Cole) and Curtus Walkin I. His father and namesake, Curtus Walkin I, was a pure-blood wizard and small-time landowner. He was the fourth oldest of eleven siblings. He was the younger brother of Sara Battin (née Walkin), Cora Wolpert (née Walkin), and Elisabeth Walkin, and the older brother of Amelia, Crispin, Hester, Henricus, Louisa, Frederick, and Alice Walkin.

Tinworth, the village in which he was born, was home to a half-magical, half-muggle community, with its residents intermingling often between each other. Even still, the wizarding community had to live in secret.

He was the maternal grandson of Jonathan Cole, a muggle, and Sara Cole (née Chittock), a pure-blood witch. His great-grandparents were Mordred Chittock and Honora Chittock (née Vane).

#### Death (1802)

Curtus died on 14 July, 1802, at the age of seven. His sister Elisabeth Walkin died the previous day: it is possible that an accident occurred or this was the result of an illness.

## Etymology

The name Curtus comes from a Latin word meaning "short". He was named for his father, Curtus Walkin I.
Cassiopeia Black I

**Cassiopeia Zephora Black I** (15 May 1711 - 4 February 1759) was a pure-blood witch, and the first of four child of Prince William, Duke of Gloucester (also known as William Stuart, "the Mudblood King") and his wife, Viola Black. She was the twin sister of Cepheus Black III and the older sister of Lyra and Ophiuchus Black.
Castle Cary

**Castle Cary** is a small market town and civil parish in south Somerset, England, 5 miles (8 km) north west of Wincanton and 8 miles (12.9 km) south of Shepton Mallet, at the foot of Lodge Hill and on the River Cary, a tributary of the Parrett. The largest church in the town is All Saints', which dates from 1470 and is notable for its high steeple, which contains six bells.

Castle Cary has been inhabited by a number of notable wizarding families. The Macmillan family and the Midgen family both resided in the village. It was the birthplace of Ambrose Macmillan, who was the British Envoy to the International Confederation of Wizards in the 1920s, as well as Melania Black (née Macmillan), the wife of Arcturus Black III, who was head of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black from 1952 to 1991.

## History

Castle Cary is one of a number of villages where wizards settled in relatively large numbers after the ratification of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689. Large number of witches and wizards grouped together to provide support for each other, after facing many years of persecution at the hands of Muggles, they found safety in numbers.

### Residents

It was home to the House of Macmillan, an old wizarding family that was apart of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Also residents in this village were the Quick and Midgen families.

Even though Castle Cary is the home of a relatively large number of wizards, this does not indicate that it is a purely Wizarding village; in fact, Hogsmeade village is the only purely Wizarding village in Britain. As such, wizard residents of Castle Cary must still avoid open use of magic to avoid disturbing the Muggle residents of the village.

## Etymology

The word Cary derives from the Celtic *caer* meaning rock, crag or castle, making the term Castle Cary a double-play. Castle Cary is said to take half its name from River Cary, itself an aporia.
Dunstan Sangster

**Dunstan Sangster** (29 December, 1959, - 24 August, 1981) was an English pure-blood wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1 September, 1971 to June 1978. He was born in Tutshill, Gloucestershire, England, and was the son of Duncan Sangster and Jane Sangster (née MacIver).

He played Beater on the Slytherin Quidditch Team at school, and kept the position for four years. After his graduation he became a Death Eater, and died in late August 1981, during the First Wizarding War.

## Biography

### Early life

Dunstan Sangster was born on 29 December, 1959, in Tutshill, Gloucestershire, England, into the pure-blooded Sangster family. His father was Duncan Sangster, and his mother was Jane, a daughter of the pure-blood Scottish MacIver family.

#### Hogwarts years

He received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1971. That same summer, he presumably visited Diagon Alley, located in London, and purchased a wand from Ollivander's Wand Shop. He may have also inherited a wand from somebody else. On 1 September, 1971, he boarded the train for Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin House that same night. He shared a dormitory with Ansel Quick and Stefan Wilkes. Some of the other boys in his house were Wulfric Mulciber, Caspar Avery, and Severus Snape.

In his fourth year of school, Dunstan Sangster tried out for the Slytherin Quidditch Team, and made the cut. He played the position of Beater alongside Alban Seward, and that year they won the Quidditch Cup. In his sixth year, however, the Slytherin Team lost in what was considered to be the most grueling game in living Hogwarts memory. The Slytherins, captained by Lucinda Talkalot, lost to Gryffindor by 530 points.

### Later life

Upon leaving Hogwarts, Sangster entered the service of the Dark Lord, during the height of the First Wizarding War. He, alongside many others such as Evan Rosier and Finneas Parkinson, attempted to evade arrest when the Ministry of Magic was able to turn the tides, and was unsuccessful. He was killed on 24 August, 1981, about a month after Evan Rosier.

## Etymology

The name Dunstan is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when a family lived near a stony hill. ... Dun was a word for hill, and stan meant "stony."

The surname Sangster is of English origin, and was either an occupational name for a singer or chorister, or, a nickname for a person who was always singing. It is derived from the Old English pre 7th Century 'sangere' or 'songere' meaning 'singer'.
Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean

***Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean*** is a Herbology book written by Hadrian Whittle. It is the second book written by Whittle, following a book called *Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs*.

#### Second Wizarding War

In 1994, Barty Crouch Jr, disguised as Alastor Moody, gave a copy of this book to Neville Longbottom. As part of Crouch Jr's plan to manipulate the Triwizard Tournament to allow Harry Potter to win, he placed the book within Harry's reach as it contained information on Gillyweed, which would allow him to pass the Second Task. However, due to Harry's pride (not asking for help from everyone around him), he did not discover this book. Crouch later revealed his plot to Harry, and expressed annoyance at Harry's pride being a hindrance.

## Contents

This book contained information on Gillyweed.
Emily Mathers

**Emily Mathers** (born 10 June, 1983) was a muggle whose disappearance was announced on the *Potterwatch* radio programme along with her sister, Gabriella, in September of 1997. She and her sister were cousins of a muggle-born boy, Antoine Mathers, and were presumably kidnapped by Death Eaters from their home in Stoke-on-Trent in order to attract Antoine out into the open.

The sisters were never found. They were last seen on 17 September, 1997.

## Biography

### Early life

Emily Mathers was born on 10 June, 1983, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, a town in the West Midlands. She was the cousin of Antoine Mathers, who was a muggle-born wizard. She was "around the same age" as Antoine Mathers and Emily was about a year younger. She was the niece of Danny Mathers and his wife, Sabine.

She had a younger sister, Gabriella, who was probably a muggle-born witch, but the Ministry of Magic forbade muggle-borns from attending Hogwarts in August of 1997, the month before Gabriella would have gone to school.

According to *The Daily Prophet* after the end of the war, both sisters had been students of Darwin Primary School before Emily began attending Southview Grammar School in 1994.

#### Disappearance

On 17 September, 1997, both sisters were kidnapped from their home in Stoke-on-Trent, where they lived with their parents, Thomas and Katherine. The Dark Mark was left over the house, but there was nobody inside.

In late September of 1997, the girls' disappearances were announced on the *Potterwatch* radio programme.

## Etymology

The name Emily is the English feminine form of the name Aemilius, an old the Roman family name, which was derived from Latin *aemulus* meaning "rival".

Mathers is an occupational name for a mower or reaper of grass or hay, deriving from the Old English pre 7th Century "moethere"
28 Bootham Crescent

**28 Bootham Crescent** was the childhood home of Peter Goyle, and a three-bedroom house in the neighborhood of Selly Park, located in Selly Oak, in the city of Birmingham, in the West Midlands region of England.

Peter Goyle, then known as Peter Banks, lived in the house with his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Banks, who slept in the largest bedroom, and with his mother, Helen, and his step-father, Neil Dwight. Peter slept in the smallest bedroom. The house was about a five minute's walk to Molly Roper's house, 84 Boroughbridge Road.

## History

It is likely that Mr. Banks, Peter's grandfather, purchased the house when Peter's mother was born. Otherwise, it is possible that he bought it sometime in her childhood, as it is said that Goyle's muggle family all lived in the same little house, and had been doing so "forever".

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore visited the small house with Gregory Goyle Sr. on 21 July, 1992. They were there to talk to the grandson, whose name was Peter. The Headmaster delivered Peter's letter personally and was accompanied by a large man unfamiliar to Peter himself. The man was Gregory Goyle Sr., who admitted to being his father and was interested in taking Peter to come live with him in Wiltshire. At first, Peter was incredibly apprehensive. He was eager to learn magic and leave Birmingham for good, however, and made up his mind at Diagon Alley, after Goyle offered to buy all of his school things.

After that, Peter left the family for good.

### Selly Park

Selly Park is a residential suburban district in south-west Birmingham, England. The suburb of Selly Park is located between the Bristol Road (A38) and the Pershore Road (A441). Selly Park is named after the parkland that was originally associated with Selly Hall, now preserved within Selly Convent.

Selly Park is also the location of Raddleburn Primary School, where Molly Roper and Peter Goyle (then known as Peter Banks) attended school before Hogwarts.

Edward Harper

**Edward Harper** (born 26 November, 1980) was a half-blood English wizard who began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1992. He was the son of Nigel Harper, a half-blood wizard. He was a student of Slytherin House. During the 1996–1997 school year, he was the reserve Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team, and played against Gryffindor when Draco Malfoy pulled out of the squad.

## Biography

### Early life (1980s)

Edward Harper was born on 26 November, 1980, in Barnton, Cheshire, England, to Nigel Harper and his wife. His father was an employee of merchandise and advertising for the Appleby Arrows. He was born during the First Wizarding War, a national conflict between the British Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord Voldemort, which killed hundreds of witches and wizards. The war finally ended on 31 October, 1981, when the Dark Lord Voldemort was vanquished by an infant by the name of Harry Potter.

### Hogwarts years (1990s)

Harper received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1992. Before attending, he purchased a wand made of poplar and unicorn hair from Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. He boarded the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station in London.

On 1 September, 1992, Harper was sorted into Slytherin. He shared a dormitory with some other boys, including Craig Caulfield, Julius Alesci, Vince Fairburn, and Peter Goyle.

In 1994, he became a reserve Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team. However, he did not play his first game until a match against Gryffindor in 1996, when the starting Seeker, Draco Malfoy, pulled out of the match last minute.

He was a dirty player, deliberately ramming the opposing Seeker Harry Potter during the first Quidditch match of 1996 and making snide comments about Ron Weasley. He quickly spotted the Golden Snitch before Harry did, possibly because Harry was furious about Zacharias Smith and he was distracted. However, when it seemed that he was about to catch it, he was put off by Harry's desperate taunt, implying that Draco Malfoy had paid Harper to play instead. Harper, in his distraction, fumbled the Snitch, costing his team the game.

## Etymology

The name Edward derives from the Old English *Eadweard* (wealthy or fortunate guardian), a compound name composed of the elements *ēad* (prosperity, wealth) and *weard* (guardian, protector).

In some cases, the surname Harper originated from an occupational name, and is derived from the Middle English *harper*, *harpere* ("harper"). In other cases, the surname is derived from the Norman *le Harpur*. The surname can also be derived from the Gaelic *Mac Chruiteir* ("son of the harper").

Bartemius Crouch Jr.

**Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Jr.** (1 January, 1961 - 24 December, 1995) was an English pure-blood wizard. He was the only son of Bartemius Crouch Sr. and Isobel Crouch (née Fawley). He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from September 1972 to June 1979, and was sorted into Slytherin. He became an ardent follower of Lord Voldemort in order to become a Death Eater and Dark Wizard in his teenage years. He was the first escapee of Azkaban prison in its almost 300 year history, though only his father, late mother and the family house-elf knew until 1994, when it was revealed to Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape whilst Crouch was under the influence of Veritaserum.

In 1981, shortly after Voldemort's first defeat, Crouch allegedly participated in the capture and torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom along with the Lestranges, using the Cruciatus Curse to drive the two Aurors to insanity. Crouch and his comrades were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for their crimes by his own father.

Crouch and his parents hatched a plot under which Crouch's mother would take his place in Azkaban, using the Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself. She died and was buried in Azkaban, with the result that the wizarding world believed that Crouch himself was dead. Crouch spent the following years living under his father's Imperius Curse. He eventually broke free with the help of Voldemort, who had learned that Crouch was still alive, making him enter the Dark Lord's service again.

He then disguised himself as Alastor Moody, former Auror and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts during the 1994–1995 school year. In this role, Crouch fixed the Triwizard Tournament so that Harry Potter was chosen as a champion, and turned the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey that transported Harry and Cedric Diggory to Voldemort. Shortly afterwards, his identity was exposed, and Crouch was given the Dementor's Kiss by a Dementor that Cornelius Fudge had brought along with him.

## Biography

### Early life (1961-1972)

Barty was born in 1 January, 1961, into the influential pure-blood House of Crouch, which had strong connections to the Ministry of Magic. Bartemius Crouch Senior's intent on catching Dark Wizards and becoming Minister for Magic played a role in him not paying enough attention to his son. This had an influence on the younger Barty's life choices. His mother, Isobel Crouch (née Fawley), was a "*wispy looking witch*" who dearly loved him.

### Hogwarts years (1972-1979)

Barty attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1972-1979, being sorted into Slytherin.
