Blurb

Marlene McKinnon was a friendly, outgoing girl. At the start of her sixth year, she and best friend Caradoc Dearborn (a fellow Gryffindor 6th year) began dating. Her other best friend, roommate Ellette Dove, was fully supportive of this relationship. That year, Marlene was also made Captain of the Gryffindor quidditch team, on which she had been a Chaser for several years. She became known as something of a dictator-esque Captain, often jokingly sentencing her team to do hundreds of push-ups. She remained close friends with her fellow newly-minted quidditch Captain, sixth year Ravenclaw Autumn Davis, regardless of their friendly rivalry. During the attack on Hogsmeade, Marlene and Caradoc argued over their participation in the attack, as Marlene wanted to lend a hand but Caradoc wanted her to remain safe. In the end, Caradoc was the one who was injured, and Marlene remained at his bedside in the hospital wing until he recovered. Despite more arguments, they did make up. When her two best friends, Autumn and Ellette, both died on Christmas Eve, Caradoc came to visit her at her family home in Birmingham, and he was the only one she was willing to see at the time. Marlene had aspirations to become an Auror like her father, to hunt down dark wizards and bring them to justice.
