## Biography

### Early life (1981-1992)

Alexandra was born in Inveraray, Argyll, Scotland, on 16 April, 1981. Her parents were Gordon Davies and Isobel Davies (née Campbell). Her mother was a star Quidditch player for Pride of Portree on the Isle of Skye, and went by her maiden name, Isobel Campbell, in her professional life.

At the time of Alexandra's birth, she had an older brother called Roger, who was four years older than her. When she was one year old, her mother had their younger sister, Lydia, in the year 1982.

Alexandra, Lydia, and Roger also had a paternal half-brother called Chester Davies, who was twelve years older, and a paternal half-sister called Kirstie Davies, who was nine years older, from their father Gordon's first marriage to Trea McClivert.

As a child, Alexandra liked to play Quidditch with her brother Roger, but because she was younger, he often left her out. She and her sister Lydia went to many Pride of Portree matches in Skye to watch her mother play, and decorated her room with the team colours.

#### Hogwarts years (1992-1999)

Alexandra received her Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1992. Some time before attending, she bought a wand made of chestnut and unicorn hair at Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, London. She boarded the Hogwarts Express on 1 September 1992 and was Sorted into Ravenclaw House later that night.

She shared a dormitory with Mary Lennox, Marnie Hargrave, and Luna Lovegood. She was friends with Mary, a Scottish girl from Glasgow, and a girl called Nellie Symons from Hufflepuff. She thought that Luna Lovegood was weird and slightly dotty, and she and Mary often hid her personal possessions because they thought it was a laugh. Marnie ignored them, and Alexandra made fun of her too.

In her second year of school, Alexandra made the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team as a reserve Chaser. Her brother, Roger, was in his sixth year and was the Captain. However, in her third year, the Inter-House Quidditch Tournament was cancelled due to the Triwizard Tournament, but she resumed playing in her fourth year, in 1995.
