BIOGRAPHY:
ah, the happy little life of delilah pierce. her father was one of the lesser standing followers of voldemorts, a death eater, but not one important enough to be granted the dark mark. he was just a minion, a stupid little fool following the dark lord's every wish. during the great battle of hogwarts it took about ten minutes for him to be knocked out cold in one of the abandoned classrooms, and when he awoke it was all over. his 'lord' and everything he had believed in lay dead around him, his beliefs shattered by justice, and poor loren was completely alone.

he might have been an idiot, but he wasn't stupid. throwing out his beliefs everywhere would have gotten him sent to azkaban, or killed, and so loren relaxed to a 'normal' life. he met a women, charmed her, convinced her to be his wife, and the two started a family. delilah was their only child, and it was after her birth that something seemed to change in her father. the girl never knew the charming protective side of her dad that her mother had fallen in love with. she knew him as the strict, controlling bastard who was not above hitting her mother whenever he got upset (which was very often) and was just barely above hitting his child.

for as long as lilah can remember he was an angry, intimidating presence in her life. she grew up walking on eggshells, always paranoid of saying the wrong thing, looking at him the wrong way, doing something incorrectly... her mother was no help in protecting the young girl from her father's screams. the only time she ever stood up for lilah back then was when she was hit for the first time. lilah was seven at the time, her magical powers just beginning to show through. she'd left her toy broomstick outside of her bedroom in the hallway, and her father had nearly tripped over it. he turned on the girl in an instant, hitting her face with such force that she fell to the ground, crying. her mother ran into the room and told him to leave lilah alone, and his anger quickly turned on her instead of the child, but from that moment on lilah had more to worry about than just her father's emotional abuse, and it seemed her mother was too afraid to stop him.

over the next year it seemed that hurting his family was not enough for loren. after all, he had been a death eater... why spill pure blood when there were mudbloods and muggleborns in the town they lived to torment? children began to go missing from their town. teenagers, adults, both mudbloods and muggles alike. most, especially the muggleborns, showed up the next day, dazed and confused with injuries and their memories wiped, but there were a few muggle children never seen again... it didn't take long at all for the aurors to realize what was going on. he'd started with muggles, lying low under the wizarding radar so that the muggle authorities just thought there was a kidnapper on the loose, but once he began targeting muggleborns the ministry of magic spotted him.

he was home alone with delilah when they came for him. she was quietly playing with her dolls on the living room floor, he was watching tv. and after that moment of peace there's little she remembered. the door burst open, her father yanked her by the arm and ran down the hall, trapping them in a room, but from there there was a dead end. when the aurors burst their way into that room, loren tried to fight back, while lilah cowered against a wall screaming with the light show of curses flying around her. and when it was all done she was curled up a foot away from her father's lifeless body.

lilah and her mother moved away, to london, and their lives quickly changed. without loren they were both free. julianna became more carefree, gentler, the mother that lilah had always wished she had. they went to the park, the zoo, the movies, all these things that lilah had never done before in her life. it was amazing, though memories of her father always haunted her and still do to this day. it was an entirely new life for the little girl.

she was pureblooded, and her magic had long been showing, so it was no surprise when the letter from hogwarts came on her eleventh birthday. the following september lilah went to the school, where she was quickly sorted into ravenclaw by the sorting hat. she was a sociable child, having recovered from her more cut off years under her father's control, and quickly made friends. she adored hogwarts and everything that came with it, the people and the studies.

in her fourth year lilah developed a bit of a crush on one of her classmates, jaycen tate. nothing came of it until the following year, though, when she and he began hanging out, and one evening he kissed her under the stars. lilah was on the top of the world in her new 'relationship', though it was never official, until three months later when she realized he'd been messing around with another girl at the same time. the end result was a swollen faced jaycen (stinging curses for the win) and a heart broken lilah who, to this day, has never had an official boyfriend or girlfriend because she trusts no one with her heart enough.

the past few years have passed fairly uneventfully. also in her fifth year she managed to join the quiddtch team, sometimes as nothing but a reserve player, though this year she's managed to snag a spot as the chaser. she aspires, once the school year is complete, to join the holyhead harpies, her favourite quidditch team, and be one of their best players, but her plans for the future can easily change. until then she's just making the best of her last few months at hogwarts.
