Personality:

At first, Ellie may seem a little shy, but that isn’t the case at all. Ellie enjoys the silence sometimes, but she also really enjoys the company of her friends. She loves being outdoors and enjoying the scenery of Hogwarts, like the lake and the pathways. She loves shopping, hates the color pink and would die without chocolate. Ellie hates cats, loves her snowy owl, and desperately wants a puppy. She's not your typical Ravenclaw however. But while she hates studying and doing homework, she's quite witty and is the Queen of Sarcasm.

History:
When William Johanson, a pureblood, married Jane Bell, a muggle, William’s mother, Ellie’s grandmother, was more than upset. She was completely outraged. William’s entire childhood was spent being lectured by his mother and father about pure-blood power and how magical blood should not be mixed with non-magical blood. So, as expected, William’s mother went to extremes. She cursed Jane. She set a curse on Jane and William’s family and promised Jane that she would have to live and suffer to see the death of her husband and her two children before her own.

Ellie was born in Dublin, Ireland to William and Jane Johanson, despite the fate of the curse. She had an older brother, James who was four at the time of her birth. James and Ellie grew up good friends in their childhood. They lived in a small neighborhood in Smerwick, Ireland, a very small town on the coast of Dingle Peninsula. When she was four, Ellie became best friends with Rose Ellis, a muggle girl who lived down the street. They grew up together, played with dolls, went to the park and did all the things that best friends did. However, when Ellie got her Hogwarts acceptance letter when she was 11, things began to change. Ellie trusted Rose with all of her heart and told her that she was a witch. Rose was scared,Something in Ellie’s and Rose’s friendship changed that day and Rose never spoke to her again.

After their friendship broke, Ellie became especially closer to her father. He took her to Diagon Alley to get her wand, which was the same kind as his. Before the trains left Kings Cross, her father gave her his old snake ring that meant so much to him. Ellie wears it every day. In the midst of all this, Ellie’s brother, James, became extremely jealous of the bond that Ellie had with their father. But while James was brooding alone in his room, Ellie was enjoying the father/daughter friendship. However, the happy days with her father were limited. Beginning in the August of the following summer, Ellie’s father began to get extremely ill. Her mother knew it was the curse. The symptoms were extreme. Coughing blood, cold sweats, high fevers, manic phases, loss of memory. Soon, it was difficult for him to do any normal functioning; the words he said were often mumbled, slurred and rarely made sense. William Johanson died on October 22, after many failed remedies at St. Mungos. His last words were to Ellie. He said, “Portrait. Floorboard.” In tears, Ellie had no idea what those words were supposed to mean. They were soon forgotten.

After his death, Jane’s personality began to change drastically. Ellie found her mother sitting in the kitchen by herself, staring at the walls, drinking out of an empty coffee cup. She rarely left her room; Ellie had to make her food and bring it to her, and even then she only ate a few bites. Over time, Jane became more aggressive. She yelled more, she forbid any one to use magic in the house, or even speak about anything that could possibly relate to it. She blamed her husband’s death on magic and would have nothing to do with it. She treated Ellie less like a daughter and more like an enemy. Her mother began to love James more than Ellie and clearly favored him more as a child. James spent less and less time at home, doing what, Ellie had no idea. He claimed to have a job at a muggle business. The time he spent at home was time yelling at Ellie.

The next two years passed slowly and sadly and Ellie felt completely alone. She had made no friends at Hogwarts and she felt like her family hated her. In the beginning of her fourth year, however, things began to change. She met Alex Reed, a third year Slytherin and they became instant friends. Ellie soon met his fellow Slytherins and became close friends with Fee, Emma. Things at school were starting to look up for Ellie. Although, she did get kicked out of Charms class. But it was just a misunderstanding. Kind of. During that year, Ellie fell in love with Alex and they began dating in May. She was the happiest she had been in years. She became best friends with Chandler Montague as well and Ellie, Alex and Chandler spent the summer together in New York. But the happiness soon ended when feelings got confused and Ellie and Chandler suddenly felt attracted to each other. Things got blown out of proportion; Alex found out and immediately told Ellie that they needed to take a break. But soon, that break turned into the end, and Alex and Ellie were no more, even though nothing ever happened between Ellie and Chandler. Ellie struggled with herself and her feelings for months, wishing she could go back in time and take it all back, but she soon had to face the fact that Alex was never going to forgive her.

In October, James, Ellie’s brother, became increasingly ill as the curse began to kick into him. Ellie stayed home from Hogwarts for two months as she took care of her brother while her mother worked. As his conditioned worsened, something in their mother changed as well. She became less angry, more sympathetic and loving. More like the mother that she had once been. One evening, while Jane was at work, James was struggling and Ellie was scared that that night could be the last for him. Suddenly, Aurors appeared in their front yard, entered the house and attempted to take the dying James from the house. After Ellie cried, screamed and punched an Auror in the face, demanding an explanation, Ellie discovered that James had put their mother under the Imperius curse, forcing her to act the way she did, hating Ellie and favoring James due to the much jealousy he had as a child. The Aurors failed to seize James, however, because he had died in their attempt to capture him. They immediately dissapparated and Ellie sat at his side in tears. Whether tears of sadness of his loss, or of his lies; it is unknown.

Ellie returned to Hogwarts after the funeral for her fifth year, 2074. She met a fellow Ravenclaw sixth year by the name of Dallin McKinely. They flirted a whole bunch and began dating almost immediately. The following December, Ellie was surprised to discover that the symptoms of the curse had already began in her own body. By the beginning of January, she was living the same symptoms as her father once had, yet refused to see the healer. Chandler found a pain relieving charm in a book to help Ellie endure, but her stubborn personality refused to tell him when she was suffering. In January, Ellie broke off her relationship with Dallin. She came to him looking sick and ghastly, explaining only briefly that she was sick, and that she wasn't going to get better. However, they later realized that their spontaneous relationship would be better as just a friendship. So, friends they remained.

Near the end of January, Ellie sent a much delayed letter to Mason Everard, informing him that his friend, also Ellie's brother, had passed away from the curse. Enclosed with the letter was James' will which was charmed so that only Mason could open it. Ellie didn't know what that will had stated.

Ellie spent the next final months in Hogwarts quiet, lonely and sick. Days passed by and by, and the sicker and sadder she got. She spent time with Dallin and eventually told him about the curse her grandmother had placed on her family. Ellie found a true friend in Dallin and trusted him more than anyone she ever had before. And as the days kept going by, she rediscovered the feelings she had for him at the beginning of the year. But this time, they were different. They were stronger, more meaningful than just a little crush.

The night before the end of term feast, Ellie and Dallin met in the Observatory at sunset. How romantic. They talked about Ellie leaving and not coming back. Hands were holding and tears were falling, and Ellie felt those feelings again that she couldn't push aside. To make a long, sappy love story short, Ellie and Dallin kissed and cried and confessed their undying love for each other that night. Then they kissed some more... And some more. And after a little bit of a confusing argument, Ellie reluctantly decided to let Dallin stay with her in Ireland over the summer and help take care of her until she died.

So, summer came. Dallin stayed with Ellie for several weeks as the curse rapidly weakened her. Just like she had seen her father and brother, Dallin was now watching Ellie die. Day by day, it grew worse until her memory had almost completely faded and Ellie couldn't focus on anything or even move. Then the day came. Ellie's mother, Jane, knew that it was time for Ellie to pass. Suddenly, the past repeated itself. In Ellie's muddled mind, something triggered the memory of her father's final moments when he uttered the words "Portrait. Floorboard." Somehow, enough energy inside of Ellie's body was mustered enough to repeat those words. Ellie's eyes wandered to the uneven, discolored floorboard in the corner of her room. Dallin flung himself on the floorboard and was able to pry it out. Under it, was a neat hole. Inside was a portrait. A very peculiar portrait for the very reason that there was no one inside. Just an empty chair. Suddenly, by obvious means of Dark Magic, the ghost of Ellie's grandmother appeared outside of the portrait. After much debating with Ellie's mother and boyfriend, they determined that there was only one way to save Ellie. Death could not be cheated, therefore, a life had to be taken in her place. Initially, Jane offered to sacrifice herself. But, Dallin absolutely refused to let the last person in Ellie's family die. So the decision was made. Dallin would die to save Ellie's life. The next moment, the dark magic was performed. Ellie began to regain consciousness, unaware of what just happened and why Dallin had collapsed. Ellie fell to the floor and held Dallin in her arms as she suddenly realized the price he had just paid to save her life. But as she held him, Dallin was still breathing. She knew how much pain he was in, but it seemed like his life was dragging painfully along. In their state of confusion, Dallin slowly began recovering in those moments. They didn't know why, or how but Dallin had somehow survived that dreadful curse.

Was it love? Was it luck? Was it failed dark magic? No one knows yet. All that was left was the empty portrait again, but this time, with a note that read: "This isn't over."

So, Ellie and Dallin happily started their sixth year together as happy as can be. But still the images and memories of her wicked grandmother haunt Ellie. She has often found herself lost inside the castle or wandering the grounds at night, not knowing why or how she got there. She and Dallin suspect it is remnants of the curse, or aftershocks. But no one can know for sure.
