December 25th

Merry Christmas Diary!
It's been a lovely day today, the sun is out shining and the weather is incredibly and amazingly warm - much nicer than the rain storm that we experienced last week.
Uncle James, Aunt Alice and Cousin Max got me my own horse for christmas, I called him Starbright. I don't know why thought because it just fits with him perfectly. I bet Max is really happy now because I always had to ride on his horse, Lockie.
It's going to be super awesome now because that means all four of us can go riding together as a family out in the fields behind our house.
I called Chris today, I've known him since primary school days and we're going to go to the same intermediate school- except we're a little bit older. He's great fun to be around with and I couldn't ask for a better friend. I didn't talk to him for long today though, I didn't want to interrupt his family Christmas dinner (his family is super awesome).

It's been six years after mom and dad passed away, I still look at the ring that Auntie and Uncle got me on my fifth birthday - a silver and aquamarine heart shaped ring that was to remind me of my mom and dad's love for me. I miss them, and I wish I could remember more about them. But I can't, I was so young back then.

Well, I better go!
Can you believe it's only three months till my birthday and then i'll be 11?
-- but that also means that It's another two months till school starts up.

Willow.

Awesome CD. I've thought of a few questions for you

How old was Willow when she lost her parents?
Did she know about magic before her parents died, or did she learn after?
How did she feel when she found out about her magical blood?
Do Willow and Max get along like brother and sister?
Is she allergic to anything?
How does she feel about being a Gryffindor?
What is one thing that always cheers her up when she's down?

 

[Willow Autumn]

How old was Willow when she lost her Parents?
Willow was four years old when she lost her parents.
So she can't really remember much about them, but have some memories of being with them.

Did she know about magic before her parents died, or did she learn after?
Willow didn't know anything about magic before her parents died, if she did - she would have
forgotten. So, Willow *properly* learned about magic when her letter from Hogwarts arrived.
Her Uncle and Aunty didn't want to tell her that she was magical in fear that she'll be
excluded from friendship groups or the like when she attended Muggle schools.

Do Willow and Max get along like brother and sister?
Yes, Willow and Max have a very close sibling-like relationship. Max is three years older
than Willow so he sees her as his younger sister and is very protective of her, while
Willow sees him as the annoying older brother, but they love one another like any other
brother and sister would.
Although she's been calling everyone in her adoptive family by first name,
she's been questioning if she should just call her aunt and uncle; 'mum & dad' and Max as her 'brother'.

Is Willow allergic to anything?
Willow is thankful she isn't allergic to anything major like Gluten or Peanuts. But she's allergic
to Raw Pineapple (She can eat it, if it's cooked or mixed into something).
She gets bad hay fever around summer time.

How does she feel about being a Gryffindor?
Willow is proud that she's in Gryffindor, although she wouldn't really care what other house she would
be in, in the first place. Because she has no idea of the wizarding world or the background of Hogwarts
she would thought that each house has their own strength in something. Probably, when Willow grows older
she'll start to realize how competitive each house is to each other and would probably think she's lucky
to be placed in such a house.

What is one thing that always cheers Willow up when she's down?
Willow used to turn to baking when she was feeling down, but her baking ability when she's down usually
suffers the end result. These days, she usually plays the piano or have a heart to heart with someone she
trusts or know who wouldn't judge her feelings and concerns.
If all else fails, then she just writes letters - no one in particular, about how she feels and then eventually burns them in a fire
or tear it up and throw it away.


Thank you for the fantastic questions, Cyndi!

Colors: Willow loves pastel colors of any shade. She also loves funky or quirky patterns and designs.
Clothing style: Willow loves dresses - in fact it's rare for her to be seen in trousers or a sweatshirt. She lives, breathes and dresses in dresses :3
Animal: Willow loves all creatures - big or small. Growing up on a farm, Willow has learned to love and care for the Autumn's family pets. The only animal she really hates is the Spider
Destination: "Home is where the heart is" Willow loves Dunedin since it's her hometown and the last place where her Parents live. She also loves Wellington as that's where the closest of her relatives lives. Someday she'll love to visit Paris and visit the cafe where her parents first met. She has quite a large fond for Hogwarts New Zealand
Music: Willow has an appreciation for all sorts of music but growing up with classical music and being taught classically, Willow finds she likes orchestral and instrumental music the best.
Place at Hogwarts: Willow loves spending her time in the Great Lawn and the Lake - especially the Willow Tree at the Great Lawn. She also loves spending her free time in the Kitchens baking or cooking food and the music rooms in the conglomerated arts club.

:: Current & Future
Career: At this point of time, Willow wishes to embark her life as a Healer. She isn't sure why she wants to head in that direction but it's been heavily influenced by her time spent in Hospital during her time away from Hogwarts. She also hopes that when she retires one day, she'll open her own retro vintage, music inspired, candy bar shop.
Relationships: Willow isn't fazed by relationships yet but she has a small underlying crush on her childhood friend, Christopher Wright. She isn't sure if they are going to embark on a relationship just yet.

Annoyances: At the current time, Willow doesn't have much annoyances but it's clear that she is frustrated and annoyed at herself for staying out of contact with her friends for so long.
Person she looks up to: Willow looks up to Stefan Archer. Currently a third year Slytherin. This is possibly due to their close friendship ever since their first year. Both coming from non-magical backgrounds and their lack of understanding for magic and their quirky friendship of a 'gryffindor and slytherin actually being good friends rather than rivals'.
Friendship Group: Willow doesn't have many friends other than those she met in her first year. She has a developed close bonds with each person and cares for each deeply. These are Stefan Archer, Kate & Sara Moon. Although she'd like to meet other people in younger and older year groups, these aren't likely to happen soon.

Favorite Destination: Willow loves Makutu Mall & Brightstone Village for it's Musical Shops and cafes.
Spell: Willow is quite fond of the bluebell flame spell & Reparo since she's quite clumsy and breaks things often.
