"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
1869 — Petra is born in Russia, the second daughter of Nikolai and Svetlana Sleptova in Russia.
1874 — Pet suspends a vase in midair when it falls off a table and nearly lands on her head, thus showing her first sign of magic.
1876 — Nikolai loses his job and is home more often.
1877 — The family uproot and move to Britain, Petra doesn't take to the change very quickly. To make it worse, Eva goes off to Hogwarts soon after and her father follows as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
1878 — Her mother dies. Pet is distraught and despite being a quiet, reserved girl already, withdraws even more and finds solace in books.
Hogwarts Years
1880 — Her Hogwarts letter arrives and she is thrilled to be going off to school to join her father and sister. She is sorted into Ravenclaw and delighted to be so, though a tiny bit disappointed not to be with Eva.
1881 — Aunt Ivana moves to Hogsmeade, Petra isn't quite sure what to make of her.
1882 — Aunt Ivana dies, Pet doesn't feel the same loss as she felt for her mother and feels terribly guilty for it.
1883 — Pet has her first kiss with a classmate, Rasmus Mohr, over summer. She comes to the conclusion that she doesn't like him and thinks he's a shameful flirt. In August, her father returns from a trip to Russia with a new bride in tow, a girl barely older than Eva. Pet is deeply upset and feels betrayed by her father. Naturally, she can't stand her late mother's usurper.
1884 — A son is born to her father and his new hussy wife. Pet refuses to like him, it doesn't help that she's not really sure about babies in general. When the Laughing Plague comes to Hogsmeade, Pet falls ill but thankfully recovers. To make matters worse, the family home burns down and Pet is most upset. On the upside, she is made prefect.
1885 — The Pan-Magical Games come to Hogwarts and Pet is made a Champion! She doesn't fare as well in the tasks as she hopes but is still proud to have taken part. That summer, a picnic goes wrong and Great Aunt Yuliya is abducted by trolls and Eva hurt, however, not too badly to Pet's great relief.
1886 — During a Defense Against the Dark Arts class where she was paired with Emerald Weasley for a class demonstration duel, her eye is gouged out by the other girl's spell. She walks around with an eyepatch for weeks until finally getting a glass eye. During the summer, in part due to her eye injury, she decides to intern at Hogsmeade Hospital in the Spell Damage department. It doesn't take her long to realize that she isn't cut out for healing. Soon after, she finds out she has been made Head Girl and is delighted.
Presently
Pet is in her final year at Hogwarts and between her club duties, Head Girl duties, heavy coarseload and demanding self-inflicted study quota, she is on the road to burnout. Uh oh.
