KATIE MICHELLE BELL

appearance

Katie can be seen wearing jeans and a simple top on her days off of school. She doesn’t really like to dress up because she knows by the end of the day she is going to be covered in mud or grass stains, from Quidditch or whatever else she might do during the day. She doesn’t really understand the whole make up thing, she uses it when she has a special event but other than that she doesn’t touch the thing. The same goes with jewelry, she doesn’t wear it unless it’s a special event as well, because she would probably lose it.
Unlike most girls Katie loves to get dirty, and she doesn’t mind hanging with the boys. In fact she would rather hang out with the boys then most of the girls in her year.

personality

Katie is very into her academic studies. She makes sure that her school work gets done before anything else, no matter how long it takes her. Because of that people call her a nerd and a geek, and other terms. And she takes them and just nods her head saying yes she is one of those things, because while they are busy waiting till the last minute to get assignments done, she is busy out having fun on the grounds or doing other things other than homework.

Katie is also prankster and jokester of sorts. She was and still is friends with the Weasley twins, and because of that they taught her some jokes and pranks to play on other students. When they were testing out new products on students she was right there next to them laughing and helping them out. She likes a good laugh and she likes causing people to laugh. Whether other people like that side of her or not she doesn’t really care as long as she came make someone smile with something she does she doesn’t care what it takes.

Katie is ambitious. She knows some of her goals are far-fetched but she will do anything it takes to reach them. She wants to be a Professional Quidditch player and if it happens right out of school great if not she is going to keep working towards it. Once she reaches that goal her next one is to be a Captain on a Professional team. She knows that a lot of people have the same goal but the difference between them and her is that Katie has the ambition it takes to get the spot and keep it

background

Katie was born on the 5th of December of 1978. She was raised by both her parents who worshiped the ground she walked on because she was their only child. She got everything she wanted from a practice broom from her mom, to the VCR and T.V. in her room from her dad. She was able to get away with everything she did as a child, because her parents were just happy enough to have her with them. See she was her parents’ miracle child, they had tried numerous times to have a child but something always went wrong, until Katie. She was the first baby her parents were able to conceive and carry to term, which made them act the way they did with her. However her parents were always afraid that they were giving her too much and spoiling her, but Katie never really saw it that way. She was very straight forward even at a young age and told her parents when enough was enough.

About the time she was six, Katie woke up late at night one evening and heard some yelling coming from her parents’ bedroom, she quietly walked down the hallway and pressed her ear to the door. Inside she could hear her mom telling, well more like yelling, at her dad that Katie was a witch, and that when the Hogwarts letter arrived in a few years she would be going. Well her father didn’t like that, he never really liked magic and was only with Katie’s mom because he loved her personality not the rest of her, and he did something that Katie thought he would never do, he hit her mother. Sure she didn’t see it, but she could hear the sound of his hand hitting her mother. After that Katie ran back into her bedroom and cried herself to sleep. She didn’t want to be the reason that her mother and father fought.

The next three years where very hard for Katie, she was trying to control her magic, so that her father wouldn’t have a reason to hit her. See in the years that had followed that dreadful night in her parents’ room, her father had taken everything Magical away from her, and every time she had a burst of accidental magic she would get hit. Her mother had stopped practicing magic just so she wouldn’t get hit by him. Her once loving home was now falling apart. Then one night while her father was away for a business trip Katie’s mother ran into her room wand at the ready, shrunk down everything, put it in a box, and took Katie and ran. Her and her mother lived in many places before settling down in an apartment in London. However when they settled down was when her father found them. Apparently he had sent a Private Detective after them, when he returned home the next day, and that detective followed them and reported everything back to her father. One day when her and her mom were enjoying some time together, her father bust in the door and lunged for Katie. He wanted his daughter away from what he called a freak, and a poor excuse for a mother. Her mom just protected Katie and laughed at her father, the moment that he stepped foot in the apartment he forgot what he was doing there and what had happened, Her mom then told her father that they had come to terms with the fact that they weren’t happy in their marriage anymore and had mutually split. Katie had chosen to live with her mother, because of the help and guidance she could give her, and if Katie wanted to visit her father she could, but he was not to force a visit with her. Later on Katie’s mother told her that she had charmed to doorway so that if her father found them he would forget everything he did, yes it didn’t help Katie forget but her mother didn’t want to take those memories away from her because they supposedly made her a stronger person.

Two years later on September 1st of 1990 Katie was shocked to see both her parents at the train station when she went to leave for her first year at Hogwarts. Her father and her had, had a couple of visits in the last two years, but none of them made her believe that he would be there to send her off to school. Especially after everything he had done to her for being a Witch. She had to remind herself that he did not know what he had done and that he believed that he still loved her like he used to. She said a tearful goodbye to both of her parents and walked onto the train. She was not sure where to sit so she picked a compartment that was empty and took a seat in it. A few people joined her, but she ignored them for the most part, she wasn’t very social yet. When she got to Hogwarts she was shocked at how big the castle was. However she was even more shocked if it was possible when she put the Sorting Hat on and it told her that she would be good in either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, the hat had said that she was brave because of what she had endured, and would yet to endure, but that she was very loyal, after debating with itself it settled on Gryffindor. That night she met some of the other students in the house, but she also laid eyes on the Quidditch team. She saw how popular they were, and wanted to be a part of that, so she vowed to join the team next year no matter what. Her first year was spent getting to know the castle and the classes, and watching the Quidditch matches and daydreaming about what it would be like to play. At the end of the year she did her exams and passed with flying colors. She boarded the train back home and sat with some of her friends, this time she was more social that before.

Her second year was the prefect year for Katie. She tried out for the Quidditch team like she wanted and made it. She was going to be one of the Chasers on the team, alongside Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet. Those two girls quickly became Katie’s confidants and best friends. You could see them together anywhere you went, except for classes because they were a year older. However that helped Katie because it meant that she could ask them for help on assignments or other things. Katie also met the other players on the team, the Weasley twins where her favorite pranksters, and she would on occasion join them on the prank that they were planning, and Oliver Wood, the captain. He was cute, but a hard ass, Katie usually stayed away from him, because when she would go near him she would get tongue tied and would have to listen to him, worship the game that had made them friends. Sure she loved Quidditch but Wood seemed to be in love with it.

She spent the summer between her third and fourth year sending letters back and forth to her friends. Her third year she became closer to Wood in a way, she could actually talk to him this year instead of getting tongue tied. They would still only talk about Quidditch most of the time, but she liked the conversations that they had.
The summer of her fourth year, Katie’s father told her that he was getting married again and that she was invited to the wedding. She hadn’t really talked to her father since starting school, and she wasn’t sure what to do with the information. She was happy for her father, but she hoped that he would not do the same thing to his new wife that he did to her and her mother. After much debating Katie settled on not going to the Wedding, instead she was packing up her school supplies for the next year. Her fourth year was one filled with happiness and sadness. The Quidditch team did very well that year, but their captain Oliver was graduating at the end of the year. Katie was not quite sure what to do with that news, she had grown very close to him and while she was happy that he was done with school, she was sad that she would not get to see him every day next year. That summer she spent the majority of the time in her room writing letters to Wood that she never sent. She didn’t hang out with anyone or do anything really fun, in a way she felt like her heart had been broken, but she didn’t know what to do about it.
