**Scarlett Gallagher (née Banks)** was a British pure-blood witch, born around 1927. She was a member of the **Banks** family, a considerably old wizarding family. It was said that the **Banks** family kept close relations with goblins, even through all of the rebellions and wars the family lived through. Outsiders think it was due their shared interest in both Muggle money and Wizarding money.

## Biography

She was born in 1927 as the eldest daughter of **Jane Banks** (née Prewett) and **Michael Banks**. Just like every other British witch her age, she began her study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into the house of Slytherin. During her years at Hogwarts, she and Arthur Rosier were briefly romantically involved. It was a short-lasted romance, for Rosier always placed his friends before her.

She scored average for most of the courses she followed, except for Divination. She passed her Divination classes with outstanding grades. Though it was never proven, teachers speculated her being in possesison of an Inner Eye. She never got tested for it and always acted as if she did not care for such things.

In her seventh year, she befriended **Angus Gallagher**. He, a Ravenclaw, caught her eye and they've been inseparable ever since. After Hogwarts, David took on a job at the Ministry of Magic and whilst Scarlett chose to stay at home. It was not many years after their graduation when Scarlett got pregnant with her first and only child, **David**.

Due to Scarlett being a stay-at-home mother, she had all the time in the world to spoil her young boy. They formed a special bond which later in her life still shone through in her behaviour; never not mothering her David.

Even after **David** grew into an alluring young man who finished his studies with outstanding grades and immediately landing himself a job at the Department of Mysteries, Scarlett would not quit mothering her son. Nor did it stop when David became romantically involved with **Rhiannon**. When they gave birth to their daughter Alina, Scarlett did not quit her wicked ways. It even went as far as trying to interfere with **Alina**'s upbringing to a certain extent. On many occasions it would result in Scarlett clashing with **David**'s wife, **Rhiannon**.

## Life after the passing of her late husband

In the midst of summer 2012, Angus Gallagher' passed away due to liver failure. The death of her late husband left her bitter and from then on Scarlett would always be dressed in black clothes. Yet, not long after his passing, Scarlett sought a new hobby to take her mind off of things. And a hobby she found. From then on, every saturday she would spend her time at the races, muggle horse races to be precise. Not to just watch horses, but to gamble. Scarlett had always been gifted in getting things right and experienced déjà vu's frequently.

Whereas her will and joy to live seemed to had left her when Angus passed away, she slowly started to enjoy life again. With her never-not-right gut feeling, she would win bet after bet. The prize money (pounds) she would exchange for galleons at Gringotts. Gambling was not only her hobby, it became her life. To this day it is still a question whether it was just Scarletts luck or if was due to her potential Seer ability.
