disneyanney said:OOC: let's just skip
OOC: Okay The dementors showed up as Harry and Cedric were chasing after the snitch. Harry couldn't fight it off and fell. Cedric didn't notice and caught the snitch.
OOC: I'm having an identity crisis concerning Adriana's parentage!
Harry was caught and led to the hospital. Meanwhile it was said that even though this happened Hufflepuff still won the game fair and square and there would be no rematch.
OOC: That sounds vexing...
OOC: Yes. See, the story is that Marlene McKinnon was the surrogate for her parents, but when Adriana's parents were killed by Death Eaters, as a blood relation Marlene got custody. Marlene didn't know her name so she gave her Adriana Polaris. And Sirius blood adopted her because Marlene was his girl. But I don't know anything about her "real" parents, because I haven't bothered to plan it out. And now I'm questioning if I even need the middle man, so to speak. It's horrid.
OOC: Eew. Well, ya see, is it really that important? I'm guessing yes, first because you mentioned it, and second because it's awfully annoying to not know absolutely everything about your characters. Is it figuring out her "real" parents that's the main problem here?
OOC: Well at this moment it is because it's bothering me. And perhaps I'm making a big deal over nothing. But Adriana is a favorite, and I've put so much work into her, so it sucks that I don't know how my perceptions of her are and how they will change.
OOC: No, that makes perfect sense, I just wasn't sure of your standing point as of now. Well, ya see, I was there about seven or so months ago, so fear not! I shall enlighten you.
First you need to figure out why exactly her real parents were killed. Was it because they were only victims of death eater "fun"? Or did they do something to aggravate them? And then, based on that, you get more clues, and then hopefully you can figure out the basics of everything else from there.
OOC: Well, it was war. Death Eaters were trying to take over everywhere. They just had a kid, so I don't think they necessarily went out looking for trouble, but I think if attacked they would have stood their ground and fought and died.
OOC: Okay, so they weren't in a particularly vulnerable position. I'm guessing they probably weren't some old, powerful family in that case, so maybe her parents grew up as common magical folks do, hiding in plain sight. I'm not sure exactly how surrogating works, but do her genes come from her real mother or Marlene? If they were from her real mom, then you know some of them would more than likely be in common.
Adriana's been through a lot, hasn't she? Two sets of parents gone by the time she was a toddler.
OOC: And her mom probably met her dad either at school or through their families being friends, since he was a wizard himself. Going the whole meet at school route is probably the easiest for me, at least (although I'm proud to say that I got a bit more creative than that with one of mine on here).OOC: Well genes is weird because of magic anyway, so I sorted of warped it to fit my needs. Her parents supplied their DNA, but Marlene carried Ana, so her own was inadvertently added (well, I mean, they knew it would happen, because she was carrying Adriana, but it wasn't like they had wanted it to happen), so when she was born, Adriana technically had three blood parents. Adriana's mom couldn't have kids which is why they got a surrogate in the first place. I'm guessing they were probably like acquaintances or housemates at Hogwarts or old childhood friends of Marlene which would be justification for why it happened. Yeah, Ana's had it rough. But her ending gives the kid a break.

OOC: I'd imagine it was a bit of both
