BIOGRAPHY
The Basics:
Name: Melissa Lee Pappus
House: Was a Gryffindor. Attended Hogwarts Scotland
Birthday: 10th May 1984
Hometown: Born in England, but currently lives in Australia. Decided to move after Keith did when their marriage ended. Staying in England would mean the kids were away from their Father, so Melissa moved to Australia too.
Pureblood/half blood/muggle born: Raised as a pureblood, but only a few years ago discovered she was a halfblood. It tore her reputation up because of the faults her Mother had made. Luckily Melissa had never been a muggle hater, so finding out she was halfblood was easier for her.

Family:
Parents:
Father: (Discovered 2022) Tom Linus - He was a muggle that Melissa's Mother cheated on her father with. Believing it to be the child of her pureblood husband, she made no action to terminate the baby. Only recently finding out that Michael and Melissa were Tom's children and not her husbands. It was the cause for Melissa's second husbands divorce to Melissa. They tried to make it work for a short time after the truth came out, but when Chadarnus's Mother and Father discovered, he was forced to divorce Melissa, because she wasn't pure like everyone thought she was.
Mother: Evelyn Drape - Pureblood, works from home studying family trees of wizarding families. She lied to the family on several occasions, just to keep her dignity. Told the family she was away on work for a year when in actual fact she had a child that she didn't tell anyone about until 2022. The child was born during the time Melissa and Michael were, but knowing it was Tom's child Evelyn had the baby while she was "away on business" and left the child with Tom.
Siblings:
Michael Drape - 20 years old. Bisexual. Melissa's Mother also had with Tom Linus and Michael was shunned from the family along with Melissa. Melissa still keeps in touch with him occasionally though.
Ethan Linus - 36 years old. Father of one (Charlie Linus). Melissa's Mother left on a "business trip" for a year in which she got pregnant to Tom and had Ethan. He was left with Tom, because Evelyn knew who's baby he was. He turned out to have no magical ability so was able to fit in where he was. Evelyn cut off all communication with Tom for a while, until going back many years after and falling pregnant with Michael.
Other key family members:
Robert Drape - The man Melissa grew up to believe was her father, he is a pureblooded wizard and can be quite cold and selfish, but on the inside is a very sweet man. He no longer openly speaks to Melissa, disgraced and extremely hurt she isn't his child. Melissa knows how much it had actually hurt him, but accepted he situation for what it was. He will send her a letter once every few years and Melissa one day hopes that they can see each other again.
Keith Mercer - Her first marriage, he was a pureblood Slytherin and they attended Hogwarts together and fell in love. They had two children together, but unfortunately divorced, when they realised they grew up from the people they were in school. They are still close friends for the sake of their children.
Taylor Mercer - Her first born child to Keith. Halfblood because of Melissa and currently 13 years old and in her second year of Hogwarts New Zealand as a Gryffindor like Melissa was.
Jessica Mercer - Her second born child to Keith, 11 years of age. The divorce with Keith was hard for her and she became a difficult child after discovering the truth about her blood status.
Chardarnus Pappus - Her second unsuccessful marriage to a pureblood wizard. When discovering the information about her mother, Chadarnus's parents were horrified and demanded he divorce Melissa at once. So he disappeared with only a letter letting Melissa know what happened. The Marriage lasted two years.
