Name: Megan Gladys Jones

Age//Birthday : 17//4 August, 1980

House/Year : Hufflepuff/ Seventh Year

Bloodline : Half-blood (Mother was Muggleborn)

Sexuality : Heterosexual

Political View : Her mother is Muggle-born, what do you think?

Her dark brown hair with red highlights is typical of a person of Celtic descent. Her hazel eyes do not. They come from her mother’s side of the family. Her high cheekbones set on an oval face accentuate the almost Mediterranean look of her features. She is somewhat tall for a typical Welsh woman, being 165.1 centimeters (five foot, five inches).

She has a tendency to make kooky faces, mostly behind the teacher’s back. But she does them out of good will and humor.

She has a bit of snip to her. Especially is the answer to the question is evident. She just hates having to repeat herself or stating the obvious. During which instances she gets a snippy or rude tone to her voice. But that isn’t always the case. She is a Hufflepuff after all. More often than not she is known for her loyal and just nature.

She will go to any means to protect someone she feels is being treated unfairly. She has been known to take part in rally’s and such to help the non-purebloods. Obviously she is very outspoken and candid to her friends and classmates. This leads to many detentions in some instances, particularly Potions.

Her parents don’t punish her furthermore when news of her detentions reaches them; they blame It on her Welsh ancestors, who never gave up the fight. Also, she is their only child and can therefore almost always do no wrong. She is used to being the center of attention in a positive light.

Megan spoke Welsh as her first language and learned English when most British students learned French. She is also a diehard Harpies fan all her life.

Megan’s story begins on a particularly warm day in August, August 4th, actually. In the Vale of Clwyd, more particularly, the tiny town of Rhyl. Surrounded by dairy farms and castles, an owl delivered that most awaited letter of every British Isles 11 year old. An acceptance letter into Hogwarts with their name on the front.

Once boarded on the Hogwarts express, Megan began to appreciate how well a few connections can improve one’s name. Her distant cousin, Gewnog Jones, would have normally been a mere coincidence. But because of the close distance between the Quidditch player’s home town and Megan’s own, it was quickly deduced by her fellow classmates that Megan was a friend to have. At least for free tickets. But Megan was not easily fooled. She could tell who wanted her hand in friendship for more than a signed autograph and it was those individuals who she still shares her deepest secrets.

When the sorting hat was finally put on her head, hours later, it hardly needed the time to think before shouting “HUFFLEPUFF!”And so Megan's journey as a Hogwarts Hufflepuff began.

Her first year was a mere introduction of what was to come. She realized early on that Hufflepuff was considered the ‘bottom of the barrel’ intellect wise. She wanted to prove that assumption wrong. She never much cared for assumptions or inaccuracies. She went out of her way to get some of the highest grades in Hufflepuff, let alone the school (at least for her year). Her first year also introduced her to the dungeon, among other places, where she spent many hours after class working off detention for sharing her very energetic opinions on certain subjects. Though that wasn’t until later in the year when she fully began to grasp the concept that not everyone believed in equality.

Her second year was quite a scare, she had to admit. With Muggleborns comatose left and right, Megan worried about her friends, some of whom were in direct danger from the villain. Then a fellow Hufflepuff second year was petrified, and her fears becam even more sound. At that point she was afraid to go anywhere alone, let alone have her freinds do the same. By the end of the year, she was more certain of the fact that she would give her life for a friend's.

Third year was another scary year, though not as close to home. With the release of Sirius Black, Megan spent her first holidays away from home. With someone as deranged as Black on the loose, the Jones’s didn’t want Megan coming home, the train station with the Hogwarts students was sure to be a danger zone possibility. They didn’t want to take the chances. Instead of feeling alone, Megan used this opportunity to get close to new people, and closer to old acquaintances. Many dear friendships came into fruitation over the holiday breaks of the 93-94 school year.

It wasn’t until her fourth year that Megan experienced true sadness. Having never lost any one in her life, the loss of Cedric Diggory, a friend and co-house member only a year older than herself, was a truly devastating thing. Megan cares deeply for her friends, and this death hit her particularly hard. She sank into a depression that lasted the whole summer.

It wasn’t until she received an invitation to Dumbledore’s Army in her fifth year that she was able to come out of her stupor and be the Megan everyone remembered. Though she had changed. She was now very adamant in the overthrow of the second coming of Voldemort. She devoted most of her free time to practicing the spells Harry taught them. And if she wasn’t doing that she was being her normal outspoken self, proclaiming the equal rights of all magical people, and even creatures. She even joined the fight at home , where she took part in demonstrations for equal rights over the holidays. She had a mission. And like a true Hufflepuff, she was unafraid of the toil and labor required to get done what needed to be done.

As the sixth year began Megan began to mellow out a bit with the activism, but was no less intent on the outcomes. She did, however, use more of her time doing things like studying and, well, studying. During the previous year, she had fallen behind in the running for top grades. If she wanted to accomplish her nearly unattainable dream of being an Auror someday, she needed to put more effort in her studies before NEWTS the next year. This plan was going about splendidly until Dumbledore’s death. This second loss at the hand of evil wizards gave her even more determination than she thought possible. She was going to do something good for the world she lived in.

But first, she has to make it through her final year at Hogwarts. Since realizing that this will truly be that last year before facing the real world without a safety net, Megan has decided to have fun this year, to be a normal teenager. To find herself a date. Then it’s back to defeating evil doers until she succeeds; a true Welsh woman to the core.
