## Biography

#### Early Days

Nova Bellatrix Lestrange-Bower (née Lestrange) was born on April 24, 2017, to Julien Lepont a muggle and Piper Blishwick a pure-blood witch. Julien died in January 2017 three months before she was born.

When she was two months old she was adopted by Rodolphus and Bellatrix (née Black) Lestrange one of the first things her mother did was put a silencing charm on her when she cried. Her parents raised her at Lestrange Manor and made it clear that she was to never know she was adopted.

In 2018  when she was a little over a year old Lord Voldemort matched and married her to her cousin Dante Lestrange (2016) despite that neither was even three-years-old.

On January 3, 2019, her mother was killed in the Battle of Godric’s Hollow leaving her and her two-day old brother Addom to be raised by their father with help from their nanny Abrianna Harwick-Bates.

When the Dark Lord fell on January 5, 2019, her father and Dante’s parents had their marriage annulled.

Growing up at Lestrange Manor with her brother and cousins, she lived a life of luxury and privilege. Her father doted on her, treating her like a princess and providing her with every comfort she could desire. She cherished her younger brother, Addom, even though he had a habit of annoying her whenever he would practice his magical abilities on her.

#### Hogwarts Years (2028-2035)

On September 1, 2028, she started Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As she stepped into the Great Hall, she felt a sense of awe and wonder wash over her. It was no surprise to anyone when the Sorting Hat placed her in Slytherin House. As the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months, she found herself thoroughly enjoying her time at Hogwarts. Nova was a good student and popular and had a good group of friends, all pure-bloods who shared similar values and interests. That year she joined the Gobstone Club

In her third year, she started taking Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes. This was also the year that her brother Addom joined her at Hogwarts. Nova was happy that Addom was now at Hogwarts with her. She looked out for and was quite protective of him.

In July 2033, she received her Ordinary Wizarding Level results. She received two Outstanding’s in Charms and Potions. Then she received five Exceeds Expectations in Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Astronomy, and Ancient Runes. In Care of Magical Creatures and History of Magic, she obtained Acceptable.

On January 2, 2035, just before going back to Hogwarts for her final semester Addom came to her and told her that his biological father was Lord Voldemort, not their father Rodolphus. This news greatly surprised her. It was strange for nearly eighteen years she always believed that they shared the same biological parents now that they only shared one. Either way, Addom was her baby brother.

Addom told her of plans of taking over the Wizarding World he told her that he would be greater than Voldemort ever was. He marked her right there and then saying above everyone else he trusted her and wanted her to be his first marked Death Eater of a new generation. It was an honor that she gratefully accepted. Addom made her mark different; it had violets coming out of the left eye. Violets mean loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion.

The last half of her seventh year flew by quickly from studying for her Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests to helping Addom as he assembled his new generation of Death Eaters to take control of the Wizarding and Muggle Worlds in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

On June 23, 2035, she was by her brother's side when he overtook the British Ministry and started his reign.

## After Hogwarts

While Addom was finishing his education from 2035 to 2037 he put her and their cousins (Dante and Evander) in charge of making sure things ran smoothly outside of Hogwarts and that people were following the new rules of society.

In June 2045 after Addom had been in power for a decade he gave her title of Duchess of Lancaster.

#### British Ministry

In August 2035, Nova entered the Hit Wizard Training program. Although she did not have to go through the formal application process due to Addom's control over the Ministry, she put in immense effort to prove her worth. Alongside other young trainees, she worked tirelessly to develop her skills and knowledge, determined to become a successful Hit Wizard.

Nova worked as a Hit Witch for almost thirteen years. In May 2048, she was promoted to the Head of the Law Enforcement Department.

#### Time to Get Married

In November of 2048, Nova, made the decision that it was time for her to take the next step in her life and tie the knot, even though she didn't have a partner. She started to plan her dream royal wedding. After careful consideration she picked out the perfect date for her big day: Friday, March 3, 2049. Now she needed to find her groom.

The detailed requirements that Nova set for her future partner were that, he must be a staunch supporter of her brother, King Addom. Secondly, he should obtain the approval of both her father and Addom. Thirdly, she expects him to be a pure-blood, preferably hailing from one of the Sacred 29 families. Lastly, the age range of the prospective groom should fall between 25 and 44 years old.

Nova went to her father and told him about her planning her wedding. Nova said that she was going to be thirty-two next year and it was time for her to marry and start a family. Nova mentioned how Addom, prior to marrying his wife Anabeth had specifically been looking for a spouse and that the couple had picked a date mere hours after they had met.

Rodolphus thought she was being pretty optimistic, especially seeing that the date she picked was only four months away. “You should get married for love, Novie, not because you feel your clock is ticking," he told her. “Daddy, I'll either marry someone I love where it is love at first sight, like how Addom felt for Anabeth, or someone I know I could fall in love with and will. I have over a hundred days to find him.” Nova assured him, feeling positive. It was decided that they would put an article in the Daily Prophet with a form for prospective Wizards to fill out and mail back.

On January 2, 2049, after roughly six weeks of sifting through numerous applications, the selection process of the candidates was narrowed down to two wizards, Brody Selwyn and Dane Bower. Both Wizards were members of S29 families, and both had close family who currently served as Death Eaters. For Brody, his younger sister Melissa, and for Dane, his father Arys.

## Relationships

#### Rodolphus Lestrange

Rodolphus is her loving father and has been a constant source of love, support, and guidance for her. The only parent she had after the passing of her mother at the tender age of twenty months old. Rodolphus has always been there to offer a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Nova has always been a Daddy’s girl and cherishes him and their time deeply and she feels blessed to have him as her father.

#### Neema Silversten

It was in her third year at Hogwarts that she met Neema, who quickly became one of her closest friends. Neema was in her second year at the time. They often spent time together exploring the castle, hanging out in the corridor or down by the lake. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger, and they became each other's confidantes. They shared their hopes and dreams and supported each other through good and difficult times.

When Neema became a mother, she felt honored to be asked to be the godmother of her son, Nektarios. It was a role she took very seriously, and she has always been there for Neema and her family. Today, their friendship remains as strong as ever and they continue to make new memories together.

## Magical abilities and skills

**Occlumency:** In June 2031, when she was fourteen, she approached her father about finding her a tutor to teach her the magical art of Occlumency.

Her father found her a highly skilled and experienced Occlumens within a week
