## Magical abilities and skills

"*Girls of your generation are graceless. It's an affront to nature. Mediocre witches will see you and feel themselves wilting in your shadow. Do not shrink to console them. Do not look for friends here. You won't find them. None of these people have the capacity to understand you. They never will. If you're lucky, one day when you're old and shriveled like me, you will find a young witch with little regard for anything but their craft. And you'll train them like I trained you. Until then, read a good book. You have greatness in you, Astoria. Don't disappoint.*"

## Etymology

The name **Astoria** may be derived from the London Astoria, a music venue in London, England, or the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a famously luxurious hotel in New York City. This hotel was named after the Astors, a very wealthy and influential American family. The name may also be related to Astraea, a daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology who personified justice, and the middle name of her daughter Wendy. Astraea is derived from Greek meaning *"star-maiden".* The name may also be spelled *Asteria*, as shown on the Weasley Family Tree. Like Hyperion — her father's middle name — Asteria is the name of one of the Titans of Greek mythology.

**Vega** is a Spanish feminine name, meaning *"meadow"* or *"fertile plains"*. In Arabic it means *"swooping eagle"*. Vega is also the fifth brightest star in the sky and the second brightest that can be seen in the northern hemisphere. It is a part of the constellation Lyra; in this way, both Astoria's first and middle name can be related to the Black family tradition of naming its members after stars and constellations.

The first part of her surname, **Malfoy**, in French (mal foi) means "*bad faith*."

**Potter** is a very common surname of English origin. It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery, the well-known English children's author Beatrix Potter, or Potter's Field: the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description.
