Thomas and Drusilla were fighting on the cold night when Alessandra intervened for the first time. The argument turned heated and Thomas pulled out his wand. He tried to cast a spell at his daughter but instead, Alessandra pushed her out of the way, making her fall to the floor and her mother take the hit instead of her. The curse her father used was Sectumsempra, a spell made by Severus Snape who her father was friends with. Drusilla tried to save her mother but she could cover up all the cuts that littered the woman's body,

## Transferring to Hogwarts

Drusilla transferred into Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her older brother on the first day of the new school term. Her younger brothers had already been attending the schooling for the beginning of the year. When being sorted, she was placed in Slytherin, same as her brothers. Most Averys, Carrows, and Burkes had been sorted into Slytherin so it was no surprise that the sibling were sorted into it as well. Drusilla quickly became friends with a Slytherin girl in her year named Vega Black, the child of Regulus Black and a unknown pureblooded woman. The two girls became close and eventually became apart of a group with 4 other boys. These boys included Ethan Yaxley, who Drusilla has been friends with since she was young, Graham Montague, a boy that was a beater on the Slytherin quidditch team, Terrance Higgs, a boy who was the loudest in the group, and Adrian Pucey, the Slytherin chaser that was a year older than the rest of them.

## Dating History

Drusilla dated Heidi De La Travois in Beauxbatons. They dated in the beginning of second year, but the two girls kept it a secret because Heidi wasn't out and didn't want people to know. Drusilla was unhappy in the relationship as Heidi was embarrassed of her. Drusilla tried to talk about with Heidi but the latter broke up with her instead, claiming to find someone better.

In the girl's fourth year of schooling, she dated Austin Sewlyn. Austin was a boy from Drumstrang who fancied her. The two began dating in late October and dated until mid-Feburary. While they were still dating, the two attended the Yule Ball, that was thrown due to the Triwizard Tournament, together. They broke up due to Max telling Drusilla that he was gay and began to develop feelings for a boy in the year above her. She understood and they tried to be friends, but to no avail. They ended up never speaking to each other and only sending a small smile when crossing each other.

In the beginning of 5th year, Drusilla would go to the astronomy tower to be able to be alone and think with no distraction. With these visits, she soon became acquainted with Theodore Nott. The two eventually learned they had much in common and became friends. Drusilla developed feelings for him but kept them to herself, not wanting to ruin the newly found friendship. Theodore began to fancy her and eventually told her when he was slightly high. The two began a relationship but after a mutual decision, kept it hidden as Nott's little sister, Juliette, who was also Drusilla's roommate, didn't like Drusilla. After a while they eventually didn't care anymore, and let it be public.
