## Biography

#### Early Years

Brittanie Marie Brighton (née Simpson) was born on March 13, 1981, to Philip Simpson and Olivia Travis. Her mother is pureblood, and her late-father was muggle-born. Brittanie was her parent's only child; though she didn't grow up with siblings, she was extremely close to her older cousin William (Will) Travis (1978-1998).

#### Hogwarts Years (1992-1999)

On September 1, 1992, she was sorted into Gryffindor house. That year she met Jean Brighton, the two would become best friends.

A good student, she did from time to time get into trouble. When Lord Voldemort came back to power in 1995, she was one of the few students that believed Harry Potter that he was back and that he’d had Cedric Diggory murdered. Brittanie joined Dumbledore’s Army.

Her muggle-born father Philip was killed in 1998; he was trying to aid other muggleborns from snatchers.

Brittanie fell in love with Jason Devitt, a pureblood that supported Lord Voldemort, so despite knowing she was a rebel and had a rebel heart, she switched sides so she could be with him. When the Dark Lord defeated Harry Potter at the Battle of Hogwarts (May 2, 1998), she was able to stay above ground.

Seemingly a traitor in the minds of her former rebel friends, she went on with her life and finished Hogwarts in 1999.

## Voldemort's Reign (1998-2019)

In 2001, she and Jason married, she soon became pregnant with their first child. In June 2002, she welcomed Ciara Rose. May of 2004, they had their second child and only son, Thomas Philip. Almost two years after Thomas, another daughter Josephine Olivia was born in April 2006. They later adopted a young girl Marina (2008).

By 2018, she had become unhappy in her marriage. Jason had become, to a certain degree, abusive to her. Brittanie found comfort in the arms of Anthony Brighton, her best friend Jean’s older brother. Brittanie had had a crush on him for a long time, even before getting with Jason.

The two started an affair as both were married to other people. It was not long after she became involved with Anthony that she fell pregnant. (Anthony also had his wife Elise pregnant). They could not deny their feelings for each other, so they legally divorced their spouses so that they could get married to each other.

Brittanie gave premature birth to their son Elijah James in late October 2018. Almost a month after, Elise had had her daughter Alexandra Rachel. That October, she became a big sister; her Mother had a late-in-life child Samuel with her stepfather Samuel Varino. Her stepfather had passed of a heart attack that July.

In early January 2019, she fought in the Battle of Godric’s Hollow, and she helped with Healing those injured. Jason, her former husband and father of five of her children died in the battle. Anthony’s former wife, Elise also lost her life.

After Voldemort was defeated, life started to get back to normal; she continued to work and be a mother to her son and Anthony’s daughter. Brittanie did not expect to have any more children. Elijah’s pregnancy had been hard on her, but she and Anthony were thrilled when they found she was pregnant again. In August 2021, she had their daughter Raquel Sara Jean.

#### Career

After graduating from Hogwarts in 1999, she entered Healer Training at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries in the Magical Bugs and Diseases ward. In 2011 after hard work and dedication, she would be promoted to Healer-in-Charge of the ward. A position she remained in until April 2022, when she retired due to having three young children at home.

In late 2022 she opened a bookshop in Diagon Alley with her sister-in-law Jean called B & J Books and Gifts; it allowed her to be more flexible and raise her three children.

## Addom's Reign (2035)

Brittanie was surprised and shocked to find out that Lord Voldemort had fathered a child with Bellatrix Lestrange. At this point, Alex, Elijah, Raquel, and her brother Samuel were all at Hogwarts. Her older children were grown, and all, but her daughter Marina had children of their own. B & J Books and Gifts was doing good business.

#### The Plan

Brittaine went to her brother-in-law Michael to talk to him; she was done with the family being divided. Michael agreed. Brittanie told him it would likely take him betraying King Addom. At first, Michael questioned why he would do this, seeing he had been loyal for decades, first to Lord Voldemort than his son Addom. However, he was soon convinced to betray him.

Brittanie suggested they offer him some bait. Michael recommended that Anabeth might be useful to him. This got her mind spinning Addom was currently seeking a wife to bear his heir. If Anabeth got chosen, she could gather information to feed Harry Potter and the other rebels and hopefully take Addom down for good.

First, they had to get Anabeth to agree with it; they ensured her she would be protected, and they would do what they could to try and prevent him from getting pregnant by providing her with daily birth control. Anabeth agreed now; all they had to do was get her to meet Addom and cross their fingers that he picked her.

## Relationships

#### Anthony (Tony) Brighton

Tony was Brittanie's true love and soul mate, her husband for twenty-six years. The older boy that she had had a crush on when she was at Hogwarts and he was already out of school. It took them a long time to get together; they both had other spouses and had children. When they got together, they welcomed two children together, and she raised his daughter Alex after her mother was killed.

#### Jean Brighton

Best friends since their early years at Hogwarts; she later became her sister-in-law. Jennie Bear, as Britt calls her dear friend, always has her back. They have been through so much together, good, bad, and everything in between. Jean is her rock, and she loves her dearly.

#### Twila Brighton

First Twila was her sister-in-law through Jason and then again through Anthony's brother Michael. They had a rocky start to their friendship. Brittanie and Twila eventually became friends and sisters.
