Agatha Dewkes

## Agatha Mundy(née Dewkes)

**Madam Agatha Mundy** (b. 12 January), often nicknamed **Aggie**, is a Welsh half-blood witch of the Dewkes family, the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Dewkes. She also had one elder brother. Upon attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she was Sorted into Hufflepuff House, and began her education in the year below Ember Cauldwell and Maisie Thorn.

## Physical description

"*I wouldn't be complaining if one of the best-looking girls in the year was following me around.*"
— Callum Cridden
Aggie was described to be an extremely pretty girl who stood at five and a half feet, with a thick cloud of dark curly hair and a bright, noticeable smile. She often wore a thick yellow headband to keep her hair out of the way, and walked with a sloping kind of skip in her step that made her seem like a dancer. In her sixth year, her hair was noticeably more wavy than curly.

It seemed to be a confirmed fact that Aggie had matured nicely, for she was once described by Callum Cridden to be *"one of the best-looking girls"* in her year.

## Personality and traits

"*I think I'm the sort of person who is destined to care so much about one person, it nearly kills me.*"
—
Generally polite, sweet and bubbly, Aggie was a popular student at Hogwarts who was easy to get along with and had a large group of friends, as well as several students who she had dated. For the most part during her education, she was often found around Hogwarts with a gaggle of gossiping girlfriends, at which she was the centre.

## Possessions

* **Wand**: Aggie's wand is of unknown length, wood, and core. Like most wizards in Great Britain she most likely purchased her wand at age eleven from Ollivanders.
* **Chocolate Frog cards**:
* **Beaded purse**:

## Relationships

### Elliot Potter

"*All this time, you being so picky with girls, I thought that maybe it was because you might like me, too.*"
— Aggie confessing her feelings for Elliot

### Silva Fidele

**Aggie**: "*I thought maybe I was being too full on... but Silva and the others kept telling me if I was a bit more forward—*"
**Elliot Potter**: "*Maybe you'd be better off doing more of what you want rather than what Silva wants you to do.*"
— Aggie is generally easily influenced by her friends

### Other friendships

Aggie was very popular throughout her time at Hogwarts, as she regarded everyone without the same kindliness and affection, so much so to the extent that she was considered one of the most popular girls in her own year. She had an entire group of Hufflepuff girl friends, who were constantly giggling or gossiping, Silva being one of them. Aggie was often the centre of this group, having a handful of friends accompany her even to the bathroom, and up until her sixth year she was hardly ever seen without them. After her misunderstanding with Elliot in their third year, this group of friends were strongly protective of her, and guarded her so often that he found it extremely difficult to apologise let alone speak to her.

## Etymology

The name **Agatha**, or Agata, is a feminine given name derived from the Ancient Greek word ἀγαθός (*"agathos"*), meaning *"good, kind"*. It was the name of St. Agatha of Sicily, a third-century Christian saint and martyr.

The surname **Dewkes** is a variant of the names Duke and Dukes, both of which are derived from the various Middle English words *"duc"*, *"duk"*, and *"douc"*, which all came from the Old French word *"duc"*. It means *"leader"*.

## Trivia

* Aggie may have been named after Agatha of Sicily, a Christian saint and virgin martyr; as such, Amy Jordan sometimes referred to her as Saint Sicily. Agatha of Sicily was also the patron saint of nurses, and Aggie herself went on to become a Healer and then Matron at Hogwarts, as well as coming from a family who seemingly specialised in medical practice.
