Halwyn and Ambrosia spent many nights huddled by their snug little fireplace, debating and discussing what to do about Lavender's future. Ambrosia had hoped for a shining adventure where little Lavender was concerned; she wished for Lavender to go to a mystical school that she herself was only ever told about, Hogwarts. Halwyn, a pedigreed wizard, was apoplectic with even so much as the fathoming of his daughter becoming involved with witchcraft. This created a distance between Mr. and Mrs. Dippitt - Halwyn thought Ambrosia naive and blind to the dangers Lavender would face while at Hogwarts during the time that Ambrosia seemed to think Halwyn was imperiling their daughter more in a magic-free world where the Dark Lord was rumored to be roaming. Irregardless of the stance either of them maintained, the Hogwarts letter was delivered promptly on Lavender's eleventh birthday.
Conclusively the two agreed to disagree, and Halwyn gritted his teeth as Ambrosia grinned and scuttled down the length of the rostrum until reaching 9ยพ with Lavender in tow. And before Lavender could so much as gather the courage to run head on into a brick stanchion, Halwyn grabbed her firmly by the shoulders and rendered his hunches a lost cause. Dark, curious eyes peered up at her father expectantly.
"Worry you not, Lavender love. Do you remember that bit of fright you had when we took the training wheels off the blue bike?"
"Yes, Dad." Replied a wide-eyed Lavender.
"Wellโฆ See - this is a bit the same if youโฆ Take a door offโฆ"
"For crying out loud, Halwyn, you're going to scare the poor girl!" Ambrosia groaned.
"Mum I'm a bit frightened already," Lavender began.
"You see, Lavender, there's nothing to fear; but you must be going or you will miss your train. Now darling." Ambrosia smiled.
"Stone the crows! We're just being silly, aren't we dear? Get a good running start Lavender." Halwyn heartened.
With a few pats on the back and kisses planted firmly on her head, Lavender swallowed a gulp of air and ran straight into the column, trunks in hand as she disappeared into another dominion unlike anything she'd ever seen. Small bodies beneath serapes and shawls bumped in to her, brandishing cages and suitcases. It wasn't long before she was in the grand dining room as the beginning of her first year was inaugurated.
It was in the midst of Lavender's first year that all of the chaos concerning the Dark Lord, Harry and his friends was curtailed and peace was restored. Though Hogwarts suffered great tragedy, there was an extraordinary triumph to be had as well. It was this queue of events that encouraged Lavender to be the best witch she could be. It's often that she's followed by an underclassman, Mylor Mayfield. This particular young fellow is dedicated and avid about Hogwarts, but oddly enough one of the few who is innate as much as necessary to understand Lavender's acumen.
Among being known for having the existence as Professor Sinistra's pet, Lavender is also of repute as the girl who is a master of riddles and quandaries. In fact, she is known to traipse the Ravenclaw tower as she pleases, having decoded many conundrums that the knocker queries. It's from the tower that she studies or gathers her mind while admiring the sky. She's known to be a quirky and soft spoken girl that rather entertains herself with books and nature than other students. It is unbeknownst to most that Lavender perpetuates a very sharp tongue and keen wit that is unmatched by many.
Now, at seventeen years of age and fairly well seasoned for such a quiet, farouche young witch (and known for the ability to produce the Patronus charm), Lavender hopes to participate in the Triwizard tournament. Though she's received some teasing in her time at Hogwarts and even a bit of bullying from a Slytherin student, Grimm Oglethorpe, nothing will stand in her way when she decides to put her name in the Goblet. Well, if she puts her name in on time!
