Lleh Stevenson- age: 58, birthdate: January 13, 1948, deathdate: N/A
Bryan Cholmondeley- age: 72, birthdate: March 15, 1934, deathdate: December 23, 2005
History: Lleh met Bryan in a pub one night. They both had had too much to drink, and they did something that they normally wouldn't have, resulting in a pregnancy. After that night, they never spoke to each other again, and Alana never knew her father. They never got married. Alana finally quit looking for her father, and gave up. She finally met him a year ago, and he died in her arms.
[Siblings:] Allie, twin- age: 32, bithdate: April 17, 1974, Deahtdate: N/A
[History:] Twenty-seven hours of labor. The stupid doctors couldn't even tell that they were twins! Oh, but how precious. Allie Patricia and Alana Penelope Cholmondeley. Alana, the youngest, was always the 'big sister' type. Always sticking up for Allie, and not afraid to show her feelings.
On the twins second birthday, Allie recieved a pretty new dollie, and Alana recieved a hot pink purse. Since they were born, they always seemed to know what the other was thinking. When Allie was hungry, so was Alana. Lleh always knew that they had something special, but she couldn't tell what. One day, Lleh noticed that Allie had the purse, and Alana had the dollie... How odd.
When the children were five and a half, Allie fell out of a tree, and broke her leg. Lleh was so worried that she took the two children to the hospital, because Alana was crying like she was in pain too, but Allie fell out of the tree, not Alana. The healer told her that sometimes in magical families, twins had a sort of telepathy/empath thing going on.
When Alana and Allie turned seven, their mother took them to the beach. Lleh tried to teach them both how to swim. Allie was a vey good swimer, but Alana, not so much. Lleh turned her back on Alana for two seconds, and she went under. When Lleh turned back around and couldn't see her daughter she got really worried. Alana tried to breathe, but only breathed in water. She could feel the water filling her lungs. Lleh finally swam under and found Alana. She was unconcious. She carried her to the shore, and started CPR. Several moments went by...
Alana awoke, she spit up water, and Lleh grabbed Allie and hugged Alana tightly and disapperated to the hospital. Once in the hospital, the healers kept her for three days.
On their eleventh birthday, they recieved their letters. Alana's came first. Beauxbatons of course. Allie's came right after that... wait... Durmstrang?!? What a twist! The girls had never been appart before, they always knew everything about each other. There was nothing Lleh could do, Beauxbatons wouldn't accept Allie, and Durmstrang wouldn't accept Alana... they had to go to different schools.
On the first of September, that gloomy day, they took different taxis to get to their final destination. They said their good byes, and left. That was the last she has heard of her sister.
When Alana got to Beauxbatons, she was greeted by many friends. She had a nice roomate, and was in love with her classes. She excelled extremely in Formation Magique. She would always go home for the summer, and every time, Allie would not. The summer before her OWL year, she stayed at the school. She needed to get some serious studying in.
A boy, nameless, snuck up behind her in the hall one night when she was coming back from the library, and used the petrificus totalus spell on her. He then proceeded to rape her. The boy was of course expelled, but that could not take away the pain. She was focused all year on her studies, trying to keep her mind off the terrible incident, but there were the reoccuring dreams, and the reporters... She was so focused on her work, that she got an O in three classes, and an A in all but Magical Creatures, which she got an F in.
When she graduated, she moved back to Sri Lanka, hopefully to see her sister again. Her sister had moved away. In the back of her mind, she knew that her sister had become a death eater, everyone who went to Durmstrang seemed to be... She got a nice job at the ministry, in the department of Magical Law Inforcement, as an obliterator. In those years, she studied to become an Animagus. It took her five years, instead of the normal three to fully transform into the beautiful Snow Leopard.
Four years ago, she quit her job at the ministry, and went to work at the school. She tried to get a job first at Beauxbatons, but they rejected her. She then tried at Durmstrang as something small, like a chef, but was talked into teaching. She was scared of getting up in front of students. She could ruin their lives! She accepted though, and is very glad that she did. She loves teaching, and the fear left years ago.
She is currently still teaching at the school. Headmistress in fact.
[Credentials:] Got an 'O' in OWL and NEWT results in Formation Magique, and is an Animagi.

You are teaching a lesson. Give an example of your writing style and post part of a lesson. (For example: teach the effects of certain potions, demonstrate a spell, etc...)
Alana walked into the classroom from the outer door. Not wanting to be informal as of yet. She was wearing deep purple robes, with that famous orange feather boa hanging over her shoulders. her fingers were orange for today, and very noticable. When she walked into the room, the students were seperated, the quiet children on one side, and the loud ones on the other. How odd... she thought.
"Class, quiet down!" She called. When the class still did not quieten, she raised her wand and sent green fireworks out of the tip. "Thank you!" She called as the students became silent. "Welcome to Formation Magique, I am Professuer Cholmondeley, and I will be your instructor. The magique you learn in here will be hard, but do not get frustrated mon cher. I will work with each and every one of you to help you in your studies. If you need extra help, feel free to ask me, and I will be glad to give you extra lessons. Now, enough with formalities, I need to know all of you, so if you would please, starting with you, young miss, stand, tell me something about you, and your name, and sit down." She listened as the students called off their names, and checked their names off the sheet when they stood up.
"Professure Alana Cholmondeley, I am an animagi," She said after the others had finished. "Now, we all know each other better, why don't we get mixed, you there, sorry, I don't know your name yet, please switch places with you." This continued on for a good fifteen minuets. Pretty soon, almost everyone had switched places, now the room was equal with the talkers and the quiet people. "We should get on to today's lesson then, Today, you will not be using your wand, so put them away, and get out a quill and some parchment." She took out her wand and pointed it at the board, long flowing, letters started appearing on the board. "Please copy these notes, when you are finished, kindly place your quill right in front of you,"
She watched as the students started to write. She then Walked behind her desk, and sat down to work. She was halfway through grading her fifth year's first assignment, when she got up to see how far the student's had gotten. She was suprised to see that some had already finished. She flicked her wand as she went by the student's papers who weren't finished, and the sentences that weren't complete, suddenly were, and they too were finished.
"Now, Kindly take your hand and raise it like you would if you were holding a wand." She demonstrated. "Now, flick your hand three times. Good," she said. She walked around the room, critisising the work, encouraging here, and scolding there.
She then went to the front of the room and said "Look!" the students looked up from what they were doing, Then she took off her slipper, and did the wand motion, and the shoe turned into a fuzzy little rabbit. "now, I can't tell you exactly what your animal will be, because i'm not you, but when you do get this far, you will create an animal all your own, You are dismissed." She said, and walked out of the classroom.
