History
Romulus Blackthorne and Morgana Strange had been wed for several years and lived among an America muggle community, regardless of their magical heritage. At the time, Romulus worked with the U.S. Magical Government in the Muggle Liason Office whereas Morgana stayed at home to look after her children, Romaine and Angerona.

A third child was soon born to the Blackthorne's on Halloween of 1996: a girl which they named Serenity Lee. On her first birthday, Romulus and Morgana received word that Voldemort had been totally defeated by Harry Potter at the Battle for Hogwarts. Immediately, the family relocated to Godric's Hollow in England to be reunited with their families: the Blackthornes, the Ruggles (Romulus's mother's side of the family), and the Stranges (Morgana's father; her mother was a muggle). Upon moving to Godric's Hollow, the pair switched roles: Romulus stayed at home with the children while Morgana went to work as an English teacher at a muggle boarding school.

Romaine was accepted to Hogwarts not long after the family had settled in to their new home and was not there for Serenity's 2nd birthday. A new addition, however, arrived little more than a year later: Ravenna Laudine. Even though she was only a toddler when her sister was born, Serenity was extremely sweet to her sibling (as opposed to a rather jealous Angerona). Over the course of school, it became customary for the girls to sit around the living room, listening to their father read Romulus's letters of his adventures in Hogwarts with little Ravenna asleep in her bassinet.

Meanwhile, Serenity and Angerona went to muggle grammar school to understand the basics of language, writing, and arithmetic. Serenity was a sort of oddball among her own family, as she quickly became addicted to muggle things such as television, comic books, some video games, and, above all, books. They were not necessarily useful books, but in fact they were fantasy series. Her father decided to invest in a game for Christmas that year: Dungeons and Dragons.

As it was not a simple one-player game, the whole family played with her (Romaine and Morgana joined during winter and summer breaks) and it became another family tradition. Angerona finally received her Hogwarts letter, leaving only Serenity, the toddler Ravenna, and their dad alone throughout the school years. During the day, the three would frequent book shops in both the wizarding and muggle communities, watch television, or play video games. The four years seemed to lag by. Romaine finally graduated from Hogwarts and, that September, Serenity Lee received her own Hogwarts acceptance letter.

First Year

Serenity Lee's first year at Hogwarts was terrifying and thrilling all at once: she was the first one to be sorted into Ravenclaw since her father. She received good marks in her classes and kept her nose in her books because she was too timid to make any friends. Her hair hid her face like a curtain most of the time and she rarely smiled. She received a letter from her father stating that Romaine acquired a job at the Ministry of Magic in the Care of Magical Creatures Department. Her father also said he would be working at a broom shop in Diagon Alley and that his sister, Ingrid, would be babysitting Ravenna if this happened.

Summer Break (2008 - 2009)
It was customary for every summer since they had moved to England for the little family to spend an entire summer break with one family or another, alternating each year. Serenity loved both families, but she was more attached to her maternal grandfather, Gerald Strange, who worked as a magical artifact curse breaker; his muggle wife, Miranda, was the Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge and a part-time archaeologist. They occasionally sent her muggle curiosities to tinker with such as broken clocks, jars of old keys, photographs of insignificant people, and sometimes a magical trinket like a Sneak-o-Scope, a broken talisman, or a Remembrall. She didn't mind if these things never worked because she was more interested in collecting them or jumbling parts together.

This year, they visited the Strange's. For doing good in school, her grandparents gave her a new broom for Quidditch and the book, Quidditch Through the Ages. She and her siblings, along with some of their cousins, got in lots of practice over the summer. Ravenna was finally allowed to play after years of begging; she was old enough to not fall off her broom.

Second Year

With her brother working for the Ministry of Magic and her older sister years ahead of her, Serenity felt a little lonely. She sent countless letters to Ravenna giving her odd tips and was happy when she got a reply. Thanks to some of her cousins, she managed to come out of her shell a little bit (mostly by accident, as it was hard not to be excited what with the Tetrawizard Tournament going on) and made a couple of friends. She once again acquired good marks and was excited to sign up for her third year electives.

Summer Break (2009-2010)
This year, the Blackthornes went to stay with her paternal side of the family: the Ruggles and the Blackthornes. Her grandparents were not there for very long as they had important social events to attend, but they did leave her with some things they thought she might like such as The Slither Girls collection, a record of Celestina Warbeck, and a new set of robes for school (including dress robes). What she enjoyed most about her summer vacation was that some of her cousins actually joined in a game of Dungeons & Dragons with her and her siblings! She bonded with several of them over summer break and was honestly sad to go, though she knew she would see them again at Hogwarts later that year--along with her sister, Ravenna, whom received her Hogwarts letter.
