Catherine Pepper is the Muggle wife of Monty Pepper. Her younger sister, Helena Hooke is a witch.

When Monty (then known more as Octavius) began his career in magical portrait painting, Catherine and Helena were among some of his first customers. Catherine's younger sister Helena was a witch, a few years below Octavius had been at Hogwarts. Helena was considered a Muggleborn because they couldn't find anyone in the family history who shared any similar qualities of a witch or wizard. Catherine, although initially uncomfortable, was now keen to learn a little more of this hidden culture, and Helena was only too pleased to celebrate - especially since she was leaving Hogwarts to join the Department of Magical Transport.

The two sisters came for a sitting so Octavius could paint them, and as he did, he found himself rushing Helena's work, but taking great time on Catherine. He would make excuses for them to come back for sittings, and soon it became clear to Catherine that Octavius had interests in her. He finished the painting, but Catherine returned, and became his regular sitter to practise. At this point, Octavius found a place of his own to rent in Sandy, not far from the family home.

Octavius and Catherine continued their relationship, both living together in Sandy, eventually buying a property after they secured the equivalent of a mortgage from Gringotts. It was easier to do a deal with the goblins than with Muggle banks. Octavius occasionally turned out the odd non-magical painting which they sold where they could, choosing to become an accountant for a stable income. In the coming year Catherine taught Octavius to drive a car, and, smitten, he proposed.

In October 1989 Octavius and Catherine married, the family all turning out to enjoy the day. They celebrated, Octavius having charmed the family car fly - or so he hoped - unfortunately they both plummeted back to the road and broke the suspension. Catherine was shocked but the couple couldn't stop laughing.
