## Biography:

### Book 1 - The Fracturing of Foundations:

On the 9th December 1991, Gemma stops a fight from breaking out in the Great Hall between Harry Potter and Damian Travers. After the latter leaves she then warns Harry about Damian, and tells him to come and speak to her or one of the other prefects should Damian do anything horribly out of line.

On the 25th December 1991, Gemma sends Harry a book for Christmas discussing Gellert Grindelwald’s war called 'The Blood War: What Really Happened?'

On the 2nd February 1992, Gemma, in her role as Head Girl, gathers up all the 1st year Slytherins in the common room alongside the other prefects. She tells them that due to how stressful exams can be for 1st years, its a tradition in Slytherin that each new 1st year gets paired up with someone from 5th to 7th year to help tutor and guide them. Gemma herself is paired with Harry.

On the 20th March 1992, Gemma comes across Harry getting attacked by Darren Travers and Rowle. She quickly stops things from esculating further, and then sends the two boys on their way. After making sure Harry is okay, she promises to teach him the Knockback Jinx in their next study session.

On the 30th April 1992, Gemma finishes covering all the 1st year school material with Harry, and promises him that he'll ace the wanded subjects, and he'll do fine in the theory-based classes too so long as he studies. After noticing how upset Harry seems to be that their study sessions are now over, she asks him if he wants to continue, and if there is anything he wants to learn. Harry asks her if she can teach him some of the 2nd year material, to which she agrees she will.

On the 20th June 1992, Gemma is handing out the end of year grades to all the 1st years on the train ride home from Hogwarts. She asks Harry to come with her for a moment. Once they are alone, she tells him that they won't see each other next year, since this was her last year at Hogwarts. She tells Harry that he was a pleasure to teach, and that she knows he has the potential to be special. She then tells him “I’m not the only one to see it, either. Other people see it in you, Harry. When you meet them, I think you should listen to what they have to say”, before handing him an envelope (which turns out to be a portkey) and activating it, which then takes him to Nurmengard to meet Gellert Grindelwald.

## Physical Appearance:

Gemma is described as a girl of average height with light brown hair and penetrating sea-green eyes, along with soft facial features.

## Personality & Traits:

Not much is known about Gemma's personality. She doesn't seem to be a blood purist as she has no problems with Harry Potter, who is a half-blood. She also takes time out of her own schedule to tutor Harry on more advanced magic, which she isn't obligated to do. Though how much of this is her true personality compared to what she's been ordered to do by Grindelwald is unknown.

## Magical Abilities & Skills:

Though we don't see her using much magic, Gemma seems to be a talented student. All of the other Slytherins seem wary of her, and she didn't at all seem worried about failing her N.E.W.Ts exams.
