## Rebecca Mary Black

**Rebecca Mary Black** (b. 19th August, 1982) was an English half-blood witch and the daughter of Sirius and Marline Black (née McKinnon) and older sister to Heather and Judy Black. She was born with purple eyes a rarity seeing as how neither of her parents had it. She lived in Black Cottage with her family but spent most of her time in Potter Manor with the Potter's and her best friends; Thomas and Jane Potter. While growing up her father would often tell her how much he hated his parents and was glad to be put in Gryffindor rather then Slytherin.

She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1993-2000 and was sorted into Slytherin House. This became a point of worry throughout the whole of her first year for her not only with her father but with also fellow Slytherins such as Draco Malfoy who would bully her. At one point Harry Potter, her close friend confronted him about it but was interjected when Black said that she could stand up for herself. After leaving, Theodore Nott and Tracy Davis told harry that they would take care of her in the common room saying that they dislike the Slytherin legacy as much as he did.
