Cassia is a nice girl with a high amount of curiosity. She likes meeting new people and knowing about them and their lives. She likes honesty and she always says what she feels which can't be good all the time. She believes that trust if the most important feature between friends. She loathes betrayal and selfishness. She can be annoying sometimes due to her curiosity. She is a passionate girl who gets excited and fascinated easily. Even by the simplest things she could get enthusiastic right away. Probably being a fervent girl is not good all the time because that would mean making big deals out of simple ones. She appreciates the simplest acts of kindness. She also trusts people blindly which worries her family. Because that would cause her pain if she had been stabbed in the back. Though she might not notice right away that she had been betrayed and there're actually two reasons to that. The first one is that she tends to see people's good intentions. The second reason is that she's not a very bright girl. She is not dumb but she can be clueless most of the time. And despite her eagerness and enthusiasm, Cassia isn't a very confident girl. She doesn't feel comfortable being in front of crowds. The girl feels more self-assured when with few people. And she doesn't like to attract attention because that would mean so many eyes looking at her and she doesn't find that comfortable. Though she is trying to work on that to gain more confidence in herself.One last thing is that she forgets a lot! So don't take it personal if she doesn't remember your name or invent a new one for you. Though she remembers faces very well.

◤◢ B A C K G R O U N D ◤◢
Cassia is the is the oldest of two children in her family. She lives with her family in London where she was born. She was raised by both her mother and her grandmother. As her Father works in the ministry, in the International Magical Cooperation he tends to travel a lot. Which usually requires her mother travelling with him. And leaving both of the kids with their grandmother.

Cassia and her younger brother ,Mike are best friends. They spend all the time together, playing and singing. They discuss magic a lot. And the two kids always talked about how excited they were to get into Hogwarts. When Cassia was to go to Hogwarts, the two kids were saddened to be separated. And the more Cassia thought about the fun she'd have at the school the more she felt sad about leaving her brother behind.

The girl and her brother have lots of friends. Considering they, too, travel with their parents which allowed them to meet many people. However, their best friend is Liam, their nextdoor neighbor. The three spent lots of time together. Liam is older than Cassia by two years and he goes to another school, he is a wizard too!

Not only Cassia spends her time playing ad having fun with her companions . Her father is so concerned about giving his two children the knowledge he can provide at home. Especially Cassia as she being the eldest . The father is strict logical person who takes care of rational things.

While her mother is a passionate person. Who is responsible for moral issues and sensations. And surely not to forget Grandma Margret who is determined to change her granddaughter !As Cassia spends most of her time playing with Liam and Mike. Goofing around and most of all talking a lot! Her Grandmother never approves of this attitude . As she ,grandmother, justifies her disapproving that a lady doesn't babble nor does she laugh out loud. And that was exactly how Cassia is all the time.

Grandmother Margret always complains to her son, Cassia's father, about his girl attitude. Marcuse is convinced that she is still a child and she will grow to be as her Grandmother taught her to be. But no one knows whether his prediction is correct or not
Cassia and her father
Marcus Somerlad is Cassia's ideal. She always looks at her father as a perfect person. She admires his confidence and his ability to make people understand his opinions by speaking a few sentences.
He is a strict person yet understanding. He believes in rules and boundaries that ,in his opinion, can make everything legit. He believes that an organized person is a successful ,happy one. So whenever Cassia feels like she needs to discuss something logically she goes to her father who gets her through the matter easily and smoothly.
Though the father travels a lot ,he makes sure to make up his absence by spending time with his two kids when he isn't travelling.


Cassia and her mother
Cassia probably has most of her mother's characteristics. For her mother is a passionate person who mainly operates under the impulse of her feelings and the swinging of her heart. Laura Somerlad is the person to sooth Cassia down just by holding her close. The mother is a fantastic listener who never gets bored of her talkative daughter.
However, the mother is a quiet person unlike the daughter. If Cassia is feeling down and depressed and doesn't feel like talking about it or discussing it she goes to her mother who easily makes her forget about it and brings her spirit up again.

Cassia and her brother
Mike is Cassia's best friend along with being her younger brother. The boy is three years younger than Cassia. And despite that fact Cassia rarely feels that gap of age. Probably because the brother is smarter. Unlike his sister, Mike resembles his father for being confident and calm. He and his sister don't share most of their characteristics as Cassia is talkative ,Mike talks briefly and when necessary. Cassia trusts people blindly on the other hand Mike has a hunch that rarely fails him.
And yet the two makes great and compatible siblings. However, they are not perfect. For like any brother and sister the two have fights and arguments. But never did any fight last for more than a day. Because after a couple of hours it'd be forgotten.

Cassia and her grandmother
Margret Anna Somerlad is a strict person. Who believes in discipline and none else. She takes it on her conscious to raise Cassia into being a classy sophisticated young lady. And here comes the problem as Cassia isn't that type of girl and is never going to be. But the grandmother never surrenderes. She keeps trying to change the girl's attitude and interests which is far than done. And that what causes the tense between the granddaughter and her grandmother.
Despite that, Cassia of course never loathes her grandmother. Neither does the older woman. It causes regular arguments ,their different personalities but they love each other no matter what.
Especially that the grandmother has so many interesting stories to tell from her long life and that fascinates Cassia.

Cassia and her owl
Cassia has a honey-colored owl. When Cassia went to the pet shop she was intending to buy a cat because the girl is very fond of cats. And she has two cats at her home. However, once in the shop she decided to buy an owl to experience having an owl. She had started to learn how to take care of this creature and she named the owl Snaty. Because he is a rude snappy creature. Snaty always screeches whenever Cassia touches him. And not to mention how many times Cassia got bitten when trying to feed him. She always wonders about her owl's attitude. Other owls seemed to be friendly with their owners at least.

SPOILER!!: School Years
◤◢ First Year ◤◢
Cassia was excited about her first year at Hogwarts. Though she was sad that she was leaving her younger brother behind, she couldn't hide her excitement about going to Hogwarts and learning all the cool stuff she heard of.

In Hogwarts Cassia was the same girl at home curious excited and easily fascinated by the simplest things. She tried as best as she could to get to meet students and make friends. However, she was surprised by herself that she couldn't always take the first step. She had always thought that she was a mixer person, which she was but she wasn't that used to take the first step. And despite that fact she met quite many students whom she become good friends with.

However, at the end of the year Cassia was so thrilled about what she witnessed of the cool events that happened at Hogwarts. She had learned so many things. Like being a wizard or a witch isn't always a good thing. As a kid she always assumed that being a witch was very cool and great. Which was true! But she found out just like her father used to tell her that some people miss-used what they had.

So, the naïve excited girl who entered Hogwarts had changed a bit to become less naïve and a slightly more wise. However, she is still curious ,squeaky and a bit clueless at some points. But she had the same spirit and eagerness to know more and become a good witch…and to have fun and keep up with everything going on around school.

◤◢ Summer Before 2nd Year ◤◢
This summer was different than all the other summers in Cassia's life. The reason of course was that she was waiting for something to come. Though she had had lots of fun as usual with her brother and friends and most of all Liam, the girl still longed to return to Hogwarts. She longed for the castle ,for the common room and for her friends there.

And she felt that she had changed slightly and gained some wisdom and experience. She was determined to be a cool, friendly and good second year. How? She 'll have to figure it out somehow.
◤◢ Second Year ◤◢

Cassia's second year started out in a different way. For on the ride to the castle an unknown reason caused the train to break down and the students had to use portkeys to get to Hogsmeade station. Cassia's plans of being stronger and less childish were kind of ruined as she couldn't help not getting afraid when the lights went out and the train made a halt. Though afterwards she was able to contain her fears using the portkey and then getting into the carriages to get to Hogwarts. Another thing Cassia was excited about was the new headmistress. Cassia had encountered her on the train but it wasn't a very good first impression. She then hadn't known that this red-headed woman was the headmistress. The opening feast was quite different as Cassia wasn't among the firsties who were nervous about the sorting hat. She steadily walked to her house table and sat there with friends and met other ones too. The twelve-years also found classes different as she had an idea about the classrooms and professors. Though there were a couple of new ones.

She was also grateful for her father who had gave her a couple of books to read during the summer which helped her so much throughout the year. She had worked hard to be a good student. She wasn't an excellent student but she wasn't planning on that and didn't care much about it. She only cared not to be a bad student. Because it would be un-cool. In this year Cassia met many new friends and was glad about this fact. She was determined to be all social and was trying to figure how that could be achieved. Though the creepy awkward event that took place at the castle somehow helped her. Like being locked out of the common rooms and having to sleep in the great hall. Such situations always made students stick together and spend more time together discussing and analyzing. Although ,Cassia wasn't so good at it she had thoughts and ideas. Some of them were a bit childish but she believed in them. And of course everything raised her curiosity and made her eager to know more. The second-year was also content that she had interacted with house-elves and ghosts this year. Well, she wasn't really glad about the ghosts part because they seemed to be responsible of most of what was going on. And so she and Theo decided to figure this out and investigate. They had become the Slytherin secret spies. And intended to accomplish missions and stuff because they were cool. And capable of doing so.

And when Cassia thought that everything was going back to normal, two professors got eaten by a plant. Of course Cassia wasn't a plant fan in the first place and this incident only made her theory stronger. She of course felt sad and sorry for the two professors who were the old astronomy woman and the Ancient Runes prof who spoke awkwardly. So because of the sad feelings she had had and because of the intense curiosity that had gotten into her. She decided to join the searching parties that were set to search for the professors and the plant. It might sound not reasonable to see Cassia choosing to do so. And she herself had been surprised by her sudden decision. But she thought that not always searching parties would be assigned and she was curious to know how this thing was done. Another reason she joined is because she wanted to make sure the plant was dealt with justice.

Which was what happened. As the charms professor blew up the plant when it was cornered by the students and staff in the greenhouses. Where a student was pulled by the plant but Cassia was too busy making sure she was far away from the plant and also trying to convince her friend Lex to not sacrifice her precious life for nothing. Of course Lex and Cassia were so convinced that they had saved the school from the plant. Though the snake didn't even get near it but they had embraced that fact and believed in it and intended to pass it on the coming generations. They also were going to have statues built for themselves once they got older. And so the turn events of the year made Cassia both sad and excited to leave the castle. Sad because she had so much fun and hated to leave her friends. But excited to tell her family about her awesome second year and to get taller and older during summer.

◤◢ Third Year ◤◢
Thirteen years old Cassia was pretty much the same with slight and obvious differences. One being her mood swings caused by her 'growing up' as in puberty. Like the girl she is, she had freaked out a bit dramatically. Especially with her grandmother drumming the concept of growing up into her. If the old woman thought it was helpful, she was wrong. It might have confused the people around her, particularly her friends. All thoughts were shared with Blue whom was the most to understand being the same age and on the verge of the same situation. Chocolate and candy provided by West also helped, as him being casual helped her being at ease and act casually in return. That though, wasn't the highlight of the year. Nothing seemed to be actually. As the wizarding world had the Board of Governors elections the school was occupied with that. Debates, lessons teaching them about all the electing thing and campaigns. It wasn't something that interested her. But she liked to snoop and have a look at mostly everything. Like during the hogsmeade debate, she and Lex had neglected whatever was going on on the stage and instead kept staring at the headmistress's hair debating whether it was real or not. The suspicions started when Lex brought up a time when Headmistress Truebridge wouldn't let the lioness touch the red hair of hers. While bored, the two could come with the craziest theories and ideas. Speaking of ideas, Cassia with Blue had had lots of talks about many girly things. Plus gossip of what was going on at the school as they shared their own opinions and point of views. That led them to an idea. Being quite confident and excited helped them develop the idea of starting their own business in the castle. Matching business. Since it was like one of the very things that interested the population of the school. They started with flyers and hanging them around the school. The brooms-cupboard was their headquarters as they did a bit of redecorating and cleaning. The thing was, that they had spent days there, munching on cookies and waiting for costumers to show up. No one did. They kept hoping though.
Between classes and randomly hanging out with friends as well as spending time in the broom-cupboard waiting for customers, nothing seemed to be happening. Away from the classes and all that, Cassia as usual was always attending Quidditch matches. Taking it on her conscience to cheer for her friends and more specifically those on the Slytherin team. And it was on one of those days that she and Lex decided to test out there theory about Truebridge's hair. With a quick plan, Cassia crept up on the woman from behind while Lex worked on the distraction. The snake had got her hand on a lock of hair and was about to give it a tug when the unfortunate happened blowing the entire plan. As she was a bit allergic to strong smells, cue her dislike for flowers, Cassia had sneezed smelling the perfume the headmistress had on that day. It would probably have been okay, had she not got snot on the woman's neck. It wasn't a pleasant situation. On the bright side, no punishment had been called for. Except probably sheer embarrassment. With that the blond strolled back to her seat. She might have felt a little bad having been yelled at, not that loudly nor abusively but she was one to exaggerate. She and Lex , down one of the corridors, managed a small note then the snake sent the note to the apparecium. The infamous paper took care of that and published an article talking about the headmistress's wig. It was a good laugh for both of the girls, especially when students spotted the headmistress having a haircut in hogsmeade. Maybe in a decade or so they'd feel bad and realize the wrongness of what they did. Or maybe not. That was something to lift up her spirit after the sore disappointment and failure regarding the Clue matching up business. Both the Ravenclaw and the Snake started discussing and analyzing trying to see where they had gone wrong. The year dragged on, the third-year continuing with her life routine at the castle, getting by with classes and homework while spending most of her time hanging out with friends and the only journeys she makes to the library were to see the librarian and TALK. He was a very good listener. The end of term feast came along, and with that the governors were announced. Like every feast, Cassia busied herself with a tour around the tables seeing her goodbyes then returning to the Slytherin's table when it was time for the speech and the food.

◤◢ Fourth Year ◤◢

That year started out in a weird way. And it wasn't on the train that it felt like that but rather on the start of term feast when everyone was shocked to see that their school was broke. The proof was visible in the absence of silverware for starters, as well as the dirty common rooms which they had to clean themselves. And the cleaning didn't only happen once, it had to happen throughout the year since there was no house elves. Something that had a huge effect although Cassia did enjoy cooking at times. But she did really miss the house-elves delicious meals. And on that topic, Cassia along others got the chance to express her feelings and thoughts about it in a history lesson held by Professor Erik Vinteren who was also a member of the Board of Governors. Cassia approved of the man and thought that he wasn't bad as a history professor but of course he wasn't like Professor Scabior, Cassia's favorite professor forever.
And in this term Cassia faced a very serious problem. The first financial problem that encountered her in her life. Since entering the greenhouses, the great hall, the library as well as other places needed a fee, Cassia found herself broke after school started by a month. She immediately sent a letter to her parents telling them to raise her allowance. But that wasn't as easy as she thought it'd be since her father refused to give her the raise she asked for and told her that she was now old enough to handle her financial issues. Something she clearly wasn't ready for yet but she never admitted it and instead took it a challenge. In order to fix that, she started selling items she thought she could do without them and surprisingly that worked well for her. She also got help from her friends who lend her money when she asked like West and Theo and Dora who bought her food.
The hardest part was probably having to miss Quidditch matches due to the fee. But luckily she didn't miss any match in which the snakes played and she was always there to cheer for them. Aside from the Cassia's and the school's in general financial issue something else was to be noticed. There was an ice-cream machine located in the kitchens, and in time, it was noticed that those who had eaten from it were full of joy, excitement and hyperness. Cassia's bestfriend Lex was one of the ones infected as well as other friends and classmates. And that might have not been a problem util Dementors showed up attracted by the happiness wafting of the happy ice-cream eaters. In more place that once, Cassia found herself face to face with dementors, not literally, and she didn't like the encounter and also failed to conjure a patronus. Towards the end of term, Cassia got infected after consuming ice-cream in Charms lesson where the preofessor, Ivy Knox had them eat it as homework. A week later, the potions mistress had finished a cure and presented it as a syrup during one of the lessons where the students brewed it themselves in large quantities and then went to the great hall where everyone was there to have it.
That cure however wasn't perfect since it made those infected feel depressed and restless. And by then the dementors' attacks had increased. Until the final encounter with them that took place in the great hall. A lot of dementors were there and that ended up in the Groundskeeper Forth passing away. Aside from that Vinteren pretty much saved the day.
Needless to say the end of term feast was a sad, depressing one, although Cassia tried to cheer herself up a bit trying to think of summer and other cheerful things.
