Character History 2013 - 2017:Eta finished her fifth year at Hogwarts with a mixed bag of results in summer 2013. It was no surprise that she wouldn’t pass Defences, purely based on the practical part of the exam. She didn’t need to predict that outcome, but swears she saw that she would get outstandings for Runes and Arithmancy. She was frustrated at her result in Divination, but swears it is because only seers can get outstanding and it’s not fair.

The end of fifth year was bittersweet in that it was the end of Zeta’s time at school, leaving Eta as the last sister there. Of course Tim was still with her, but she would miss her big sister terribly, as she had Theta before her. However, she stepped up to help run SAWS as Zeta moved on and Hufflepuffs always rallied round.
In the sixth and seventh years (2013-15) Eta did her best but was never a model student. She became more spiritual in her approach to life, pondering why magic existed and whether there was a god or higher spirit. She encountered several inhabitants of
Artemis Coven on a weekend visit to
Slandermouth in July 2014, during the summer holidays between her sixth and seventh years at Hogwarts. They invited her round and she fell in love with their lifestyle, vowing to return once she finished her studies. Meanwhile, she worked a part time job in the holidays at
Paedico Predico.

It was clear where Eta’s interests had shifted with her goals. She spent more time out of the castle and in nature, or in the greenhouses. She still predicted the odd death but took her divination far more seriously now. Anticipating her move out of the family home and wanting to go full time at
Paedico Predico, Eta threw her all into her apparition license, and passed first time.
In Summer 2015 she was out of boarding school and moving into the coven. After a few weeks she was sworn in as a sister, and now has a home in the cottage in Slandermouth. Her favourite duties are the garden ones. She has learned huge amounts from the other witches and has embraced her lifestyle, however unconventional her old school friends think it is.
Eta meanwhile works at Praedico, on a modest wage. She has learned how to make wearable charms, provides tarot readings and number analysis for customers. She is the youngest member of staff but has established friendships with her colleagues in a sisterly, or daughterly manner.
Eta grows gillyweed (openly post legalisation of its other uses) in the coven garden, and regularly experiments with other substances, still hoping to open her inner eye. If she can ever scrape more money together she wants to go backpacking with some of the other coven members and ‘find herself’.
She is unsure what her sexuality is - though her big sister has married, and her other sister is in a relationship with a witch, Eta is waiting it out to see. She is mostly surrounded by witches and women, many of whom have very fluid genders or sexualities.
Summary:Eta graduated Hogwarts in the summer of 2015 and now works at
Paedico Predico, a Diagon Alley divination shop. She belongs to and lives with
Artemis Coven in
Slandermouth. She still hopes to open her inner eye and is enjoying her new lifestyle after school.
