## Biography

### Early Life

Amy Potter gave birth to Annie on 9/21/2033 right in their family home in Godric's Hollow. At the time Amy and her husband Albus already had five daughters: Ellie, 7, Louise, 6, Dorothy, 4, Claire, 3, and Regina, 1. Annie and her older sister Regina shared a bedroom and become very close through the years being the youngest two, often doing everything together. Annie and Dorothy also had a very close bond, with Dorothy taking her under her wing. Young Annie really admired Dorothy, and copied everything she did at one point when she was a toddler.

Being the youngest of six sisters, Annie struggled watching all of them move on to greater, more thrilling years at Hogwarts as she stayed behind. Things got especially difficult in 2043 when Regina started at Hogwarts and she was the only one left at home, and it caused her a great deal of loneliness and sadness.

### Hogwarts Years

#### First Year (2045-2046)

Annie entered her first year at Hogwarts along with her cousin Winnie, whom she absolutely loathed. Much to her delight, they were sorted into separate houses, with Winnie sorted into Slytherin, and Annie sorted into Gryffindor. This delighted her older sister Louise, a fellow Gryffindor that had graduated the previous year. Upon arriving at the Gryffindor common room, Annie finds that she will be rooming with Natalie Brown, Edith Stevenson, and Charlotte McCaig. Annie is enrolled in the eight core classes for First Years: Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Flying, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, and Transfiguration. Annie does alright in most of her classes, but finds that she has a particular adeptness for Transfiguration.

#### Fifth Year (2049-2050)

(SPOILERS FOR REGINA POTTER BOOK 7)

The Dark War is in its final stretch, and Regina's army that's on a voyage away from Hogwarts cannot take Annie with them, due to her age. Both with the knowledge that an attack on Hogwarts is unavoidable, and with resentment from being left behind and babied all her life, Annie decides it's time to build a force of talented fighters within Hogwarts. Though she is able to gather many powerful students ready to be a protective fortress if Hogwarts is ever attacked, Annie herself feels inadequate, knowing that her skill in magic is limited to Transfiguration. After thinking it over, Annie realizes a way that she can use Transfiguration to her advantage: by becoming an animagus. She chooses the powerful Tiger to shapeshift into, and after months of rough practicing, she has perfected it. Regina and Henri Malfoy come to visit Hogwarts in the midst of the war, after receiving a tip from Cassian Zabini that Noturiana planned to attack young students next, to gather a mass amount of Dark Ones for her army in preparation for the final battle. Regina and Henri warn the Hogwarts students, and are surprised when Annie and her force step forward to guard. Regina is taken aback by her sister's initiative. Regina spends the days leading up to the at Hogwarts with her younger sister, and when Annie reveals that she's mastered an animagus and shows Regina the Tiger, Regina nearly cries out of pride. She hugs Annie and tells her that she feels that she no longer needs to excessively worry, and Annie has proven she is strong and can take care of herself. Annie bursts into tears, finally feeling seen as an equal to her sister.
