BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It is Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. He and his friends are in all the same classes as they are in the 4th book. There's a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher named Professor Sarah Manell. She is a great teacher and knows her stuff, unlike Lockhart. She is young (29 years old), nice, friendly, and likes to have fun. She is serious about DADA when you have to be. She has long brown hair to the middle of her back. It curls in at the ends. She has brown eyes and is 5'9 1/2". She came in Harry's second year and hasn't left since (so technically, she's not new). She's very helpful and is closer with Harry, Ron, and Hermione than any of her other fifth years. In Harry's third year, a new girl came to Hogwarts. She came from France, although she was born and raised in New York City, New York (USA). She speaks with an American accent (but not a strong New York accent-lost most of it as she grew up and lived in France). She is the adopted daughter of the richest Muggles in the world: Monica and Dean Wilkins. Her name is Tyra-Lyn Wilkins. She has long, straight golden blond hair, ice blue eyes, and a big white-toothed smile. She is 5'10 1/2". She is 17 years old and was in her last schooling year when she arrived at Hogwarts. She was ahead of her class at Hogwarts anyways because at her old school in France (Abra's Academy for Privaledged Witches and Wizards)they start at 9 years old instead of 11 years old like Hogwarts. The reason Ty was transferred to Hogwarts was to protect her (and everyone else) because she is Lord Voldemort's daughter. Although she (and everyone accept the Hogwarts professors and the Headmaster at Ty's old school) never knew about it until she got to Hogwarts. She and Oliver Wood became a couple and she replaced Angelina Johnson on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (just for that year) because Angie had to leave school (to take care of her sick grandma). Ty made friends with lots of people from all different houses (including 3 students from Slytherin). She became very good friends with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Oliver (of course!), Fred, George, Professor Manell, and Professor Dumbledore. At the end of Harry's third year Voldemort, with a borrowed body, came to the school to kill Harry (Ron and Hermione), but Ty came to the rescue. Voldemort told her that she is his one and only daughter and that her name is really Lerissa and that he has been looking for her for years. During the whole school year, Ty had been hearing voices- someone calling for Lerissa-in her dreams. Ty graduated from Hogwarts and came back the next school year as a Teacher's Assistant for McGonagall for Transfigurations (Ty's favorite subject). In Harry's fourth year Ty was McGonagall's assistant and the majority of the school that were once her friends were afraid of her (because over the summer the truth about her being Lord Voldemort's daughter leaked out everywhere!) and so her school year wasn't very good to start off with. Oliver is gone off to play with an amature Quidditch team, but he, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Ginny, Cedric, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle (and a few odd people and the teachers and staff) are the only ones who aren't afraid of her and are still her friends. (Yes, that's right! You heard me! Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle are Ty's friends...strangely enough. Draco has a crush on Ty. I know, I know...but it's funny!) During the summer she began to remember what her life was like with Voldemort and during school she felt him getting stronger and her Dark Mark on her arm was getting darker. She ends up going to Voldemort to work as a 'go-between', getting information and spying for both sides. The only ones at Hogwarts that knew about this were Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ty. Ty did things for her father (Voldemort) while she was pretending to be on his side. Ron and Hermione began to think that Ty was on Voldemort's side and didn't know if they should trust her. She brought Voldemort Harry and he and Harry fight and Voldemort was about to kill Harry (while Ty stoond back and watched) and then Ty jumped in the way to push Harry out of the way of the curse. Ty dies. (It's sad, but it's true.) Ron and Hermione went to Dumbledore to tell him their plan and he came in (with Ron and Hermione) and saved Harry. Cornelius Fudge was there with 2 Dementors, who took Voldemort's soul and dragged him off to Azkaban. They had a memorial service for Ty at Hogwarts, giving her (and Harry maybe Ron and Hermione too, I'm not sure yet) The Order of Merlin, First Class and Oustanding Services to the School (and later gets an award for bravery named after her). Lucious Malfoy, Dean and Monica, Oliver and his parents, the Weasleys, and the rest of the school are there. She was then taken to France to have a burial service with her Muggle family members. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco go to the Muggle funeral. (Yes, Draco goes!) And that is the end of Harry's fourth year.
