Soooooo, I wandered across a HP tumblr where they've created new characters who currently attend Hogwarts or are alumni, complete with pictures of celebrities who play them, what house they're in, mini-bios, family trees etc.
And like the ginormous Potterhead I am, I decided it was time to make my own.
Stella Macmillan
Slytherin class of 2004.
Her family was shocked when Stella was sorted into Slytherin, as she came from a long line of Hufflepuffs, but given her cunning, resourcefulness, ambition, and certain amount of indecisiveness, she fit into the house well. After the Second Wizarding War she set out to help change the face of the house for the better. She gathered together like-minded Slytherins who supported school unity and disregarded blood status as an important factor. When Slytherin is referred to as a "bad" or "evil" house, she is quick to refer the speaker to Merlin and the heroes who took a stand against Voldemort such as Severus Snape, Regulus Black, Horace Slughorn, and Andromeda Tonks.
Sister is a Hufflepuff class of 2008
Parents are Hufflepuff classes of 1980 and 1981
BIO
Stella received her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts in October 1996, on her eleventh birthday but had to wait 11 months before she could start school. In the meantime her parents continued her home education in magical theory and history. In spring of 1997, when Headmaster Dumbledore was killed, her parents petitioned the Ministry for a permit to continue schooling her at home, as they believed Hogwarts was no longer safe. Over the summer they drilled her in Defense Against the Dark Arts, among other subjects.
On August 1, 1997 Voldemort took over the Ministry of Magic and ordered all school aged wizards and witches who were not muggle-born to return to school, forbidding learning at home. Summons were sent to all students that were expected to return, and Stella received hers as the family was packing in an attempt to flee England and the in evitable persecution for their blood status. The First Wizarding War had ended shortly after their own graduations from Hogwarts, and they remembered the frightening events surrounding the war vividly. They decided keeping her out of Hogwarts would put everyone in more danger than sending her, and so she was allowed to attend.
The Sorting Hat stalled when placing her, torn between all four houses. Initially torn between the Hufflepuff legacy, Ravenclaw intelligence and Slytherin cunning that it saw in her, it saw in her the desire to play a role in the battle to come from within. It offered her Gryffindor, in an effort to tempt her away from Slytherin and as a reward for the bravery she showed in her reasoning behind choosing Slytherin, but she remained steadfast.
She found members of Dumbledore's army and convinced them of her usefulness as a double agent against Snape's regime: No one suspected the quiet first year Slytherin of actively working with the rebels.
Due to the increase in Voldemort's power, her parents forbade her to return to Hogwarts in January, afraid that the family's blood status put her at risk in Slytherin House, again planning to flee. She snuck out to return to school anyway, determined to continue her subterfuge from within Slytherin. Her parents feared that demanding Headmaster Snape return her home would only draw more attention to her presence, so they remained silent.
By May 2, 1998 Stella had been driven out of Slytherin and was living in the room of requirement with other members of the DA and other muggle-borns, where they furthered their magical education with the help from 7th years and duels. When Harry Potter arrived and McGonagall instructed all first and second years escorted from the school for their safety, Stella was whisked away to Hogsmeade by Madame Pomfrey and Filch. She was able to slip away in the chaos, however, when her own Head of House, Horace Slughorn, led reinforcements back onto the grounds. Stella was able to survive the battle thanks to her early start in her education as well as the weeks spent living with the DA in the room of requirement. Despite being only a first year, she had at least third year skills in Defense Against the Dark Arts and had always had a knack for jinxes.
After the war, Stella returned to Hogwarts for the remaining 6 years of her education, having the opportunity to be taught DADA on occassion by the Trio themselves, and spending her last few years with Neville Longbottom as her Herbology professor.
She received 5 Os on her OWLs in Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms and Transfiguration and continued to take them as NEWT level classes. Despite being given a free pass to become an auror due to her experience at the Battle of Hogwarts, she studied to become a Healer and went on to work at St. Mungo's instead.
Relationships with other characters
Stella became very close to Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom, who were the only two who knew of her involvement while working as a mole for the DA. She also made many friends throughout the 4 hourses in her efforts to unite the school, as well as due to her popularity after the Battle of Hogwarts and her friendship with the soon-to-be-Mrs-Ginny-Potter.
She had numerous connections to Hufflepuff due to her family, and became best friends with Hufflepuff legacy and Prefect Salara Abbott after Stella's sister Cassietta started Hogwarts in 2001.
Distantly related to the Black family.
That's all I got right now. Only took like 2 hours.
