❧ Personality

SPOILER!!: Haddie is a brat sometimes

Haddie Denaker is, actually, quite smart. Her grades don’t always show this, however, as Haddie, as well as her twin, Nat, more often prefer to apply their intelligence to their own fun and amusement, usually in the form of harmless pranks. Hadley is adventurous, independent, and fiercely loyal to those she cares about, but if you break her trust, you’ll find quite impossible to regain.

She can be self-centered at times, without realizing it. She can also be exceptionally patient when she wants to be, and extremely impatient when she doesn’t. Haddie is also known to stubbornly hold onto a single goal, even long after it should have been abandoned. She can have a mischievous streak at times, and will, at times, willfully disregard rules when it suits her.

Natalie, her twin sister, isn’t all that different. She just tends to be better at hiding it when she’s getting into trouble.


Haddie also has a habit of naming everything.

❧ Background/History

SPOILER!!: tl;dr weird things happen, they move to London

Natalie Denaker was born on September 2, 2076, at 6:23 A.M. Her twin sister, Hadley, came into the world exactly 13 hours and 11 minutes later. The two have been nearly inseparable ever since. Which is why it took so long for their parents to realize the truth…

Bizarre things seemed to happen around the girls quite often. Sometimes it was easy to explain away – I’m sorry, Mark, I didn’t realize the bike was purple (Haddie’s favorite color at the time), it looked red under the lighting at the store – And other times, it just defied all rational explanation, like that time in first grade a boy, who had been picking on Nat, suddenly had the misfortune to sprout fur all over, leaving everyone scratching their heads, except Mr. and Mrs. Denaker, who simply gave their girls a stern look, and kept silent.

The girls secretly loved the strange things that happened, especially Natalie. To them it was a sign they were secretly fairy princesses sent into hiding to be raised by humans for their own protection and Nat would often regale Haddie with stories of what their fairy kingdom was like. Naturally, being older, she remembered such things.

It was assumed the odd things that happened centered around, or maybe were even caused by, both girls. Until the third grade that is. At the end of their second grade year, their school expressed concerned the girls weren’t branching out and making friends beyond each other, and it was decided that the girls would be in separate classrooms next year. This did not go over well with the girls, both of whom remained stubbornly upset about it well into the school year. Natalie’s class remained perfectly, boringly ordinary, much to Nat’s dismay. Haddie’s on the other hand… In the first month alone all the textbooks in the classroom became illegible gibberish, the teacher found herself stuck firmly to her chair for an entire day, and half the class came down with a temporary case of laryngitis that doctors couldn’t explain, given that none of them were actually sick. It was decided, discreetly, to put the girls back in the same class for fourth grade.

Recently, Mrs. Denaker, an award-winning chef, was offered a job as head chef of a five star restaurant in the heart of London. So, the summer before their 11th birthday, the girls moved with their family to England. Not everyone was completely thrilled about moving. It did, at least, answer questions about their daughter’s unique gift by way of their new neighbors, who, as part of the wizarding world recognized Haddie’s talents for what they were. Also the small clerical error which mislabeled Haddie’s birthday, resulting in her getting an acceptance letter a year earlier than she should have, helped. The mistake was quickly fixed and Haddie received a hearty “see you next year” in its place.

After a month of begging and pleading, Haddie finally got her parents to take her to Diagon Alley to see her new world for the first time, their neighbor acting as escort. There she met Rachel Watson, and the two became friends, keeping in touch via Haddie's owl, Wimple (a birthday gift from her neighbor). She has also spent the year babysitting for their neighbor, earning some spending money for the wizarding world.

Natalie, however, hasn't taken the news that her twin sister is a witch and will be attending Hogwarts without her very well. This has left the girls' relationship increasingly strained over the year.

❧ Year 1 : The year it all began

SPOILER!!: 2088 to 2089

Hadley was a hat stall, taking roughly 10 minutes to finally be sorted. It wasn't the house Haddie had been hoping for and saw herself as -Gryffindor. Instead, Haddie found herself sorted into Ravenclaw, the house she saw herself the least as. During the Start of Term Feast, a food fight was started by the Gryffindor table. Ordered by the Ravenclaw prefects not to throw any food back, Haddie used the clear loophole of not actually throwing food to join the food fight, which encouraged a second Ravenclaw girl, 3rd year Kitty Valentine to also join.

The girls received the punishment of cleaning the library the next morning for their involvement. Except Peeves, upset he missed out on the fight the night before, started a new food fight inside the library. And that's how Haddie's time at Hogwarts began.

During Haddie's first few weeks, she had a run in with the Hag that she's convince nearly got her eaten, or worse, turned into a toad, and she was caught trying to explore the forbidden forest with her best friend, Rachel.
