## Childhood

Aveline, or Ava, as she's better known by, is the youngest child of Emmaline and Alexandre Mercier. She has one older brother and three older sisters. Growing up, the five of them have always been close and protective of one another. When Ava was nine, her family relocated from France to London, England. Her older siblings all attended Beauxbatons, but she would later attend Hogwarts.

## Schooling

Ava was sorted into Ravenclaw when she began Hogwarts. She made quick friends with her dormmate, Sylvie, and the two would remain in close contact even after graduating Hogwarts. Sylvie was the only reason that Ava attended Quidditch Games, as Sylvie played as the team's Seeker beginning their second year. Beginning her fourth year, Ava began to date older Slytherin, Noah Scott. She was extremely happy with him and they were together until her sixth year. They broke up after an argument, where he thought she would be better off without him. This tore Ava up to the point of drinking, getting drunk enough to sleep with fellow Ravenclaw, Killian Murphy, who was in his seventh year. While initially not interested in him romantically, he eventually won her heart and they began dating. In January, she found out she was pregnant with Killian's child. After a long talk, they decided they would have the baby and Killian would raise them while she focused on her seventh year.

## Adulthood

When Ava graduated, she started working at Saint Mungo's along with Killian. After a couple of months, Noah sought her out, apologizing for breaking her heart and asking for her to come back to him. After a long talk with Killian, she gave Noah another chance while also dating Killian. In 1990, she married both Killian and Noah. In 1991, she gave birth to Rylan in February and Myriam in December. The three were happy with three children and decided to wait before having another. In 1995, Aurora was born.

Ava fought during the Battle of Hogwarts, much to Noah and Killian's dismay, even though they were fighting alongside her. She was three months pregnant at the time, but knew that this was for the future of her living children and took the chance. During the battle, a sixteen year old got between Ava and the Death Eater she had been fighting and was struck by the Death Eater's killing curse. Ava would blame herself for years to come, becoming overbearing over her children and trying to prevent Aurora from doing Quidditch, afraid she would be hurt.

Farren was born in November of 1998, then Victor would come in October of 2001. The three decided to be done with children and were careful after that point on.

In 2013, Noah was killed (by Victor for his magic, under the influence of a Blood Supremacist cult determined to return magic to Squibs by transferring the magic to them from "thieves"). Ava was absolutely devastated and went into a deep depression. There were times where she spent days in bed. Killian remained by her side, caring for her, and even joining her in bed on the really bad days. Eventually, Killian and Ava would have another daughter, Noalynn, named in Noah's honor.

Two years later, Noah would return to the family, being resurrected by his mother, Ella, using the Philosopher's Dagger, a blade that brings one back from the dead by sacrificing another. Ella, being a member of the new Order of the Phoenix, found out they had caused Noah's death. She located the dagger and traded the life of one of the cult members to bring Noah back. Noah had no memories or magic, but eventually settled back with Ava and Killian. He knows he loves Ava and their children and that's all that matters. Ava would have two final children, twins Lucien and Helia.
