BIOGRAPHY

      Laura is the third born child of the four Furst Sisters. She was born not long before christmas on the 14th December and so was brought into the world in the harsh winter time. When she was been taken around to families houses a Christmas she was wrapped up in so many blankets that she could have been used to play pass the parcel. Ever since she has been a young girl Laura fell in love with winter scenery loving to walk to beauty spots even in the cold just to catch a glimpse of a winter wonderland. She loved who peaceful place's could look under a blanket of white snow as it could just completely change a landscape.

     A year or so after Laura was born came yet another child for the Furst and another girl too who was named Hannah. Being younger Laura wasn't really old enough to get too jealous as she still did get a fair bit of attention but she was never really one to seek it out. She was quite happy to play on her own or with her older sister's and didn't need the constant presence of her parents to entertain her. Laura was good at entertaining herself and was quite creative in what she would do. Though in the summer time one thing that she loved to do was go out and pick flowers in the garden. Then she would bring them back in and her mother would fill a glass with water and Laura would put them in arranging the flowers how she wanted them to be.

     Though the bonfire night before Laura was seven she was happily watching her father set the fireworks off when one of the fireworks blew over just after her father had lit it and when it went off it shot very close to Laura and singed her neck as flew by. Had her hair not been tied back it would most likely had been set on fire. She was taken to St. Mungo's after her mother got some ice from the fridge on it where the burns where treated but their is still a little scaring upon her neck. So from a while afterwords Laura wore her hair down constantly so that nobody would see it though she isn't as bother by the marks now as she ties her hair up every day she has to work.

     Ever since then Laura has never watched another firework show and shudders slightly when she hears them go off. It is also for this reason she doesn't like loud sudden noises as they remind her of he event. So instead of having fireworks in the back garden her family would go to another relatives while Laura stayed home with one of her parents for comfort. Now Laura can managed fireworks as long as she is indoors when they start going off. So Bonfire Night and New Year are two of the worst times of the year for Laura seen as they are occasions in which fireworks are tradition.

     After both Judy and Julia got their letter to Hogwarts Laura got hers too. It helped having older sister's as they didn't have to rebuy her all the books as she could use some of the books that her sisters had used since they had moved on to more advance texts. But Olivander did have a tricky time finding her a wand that would match her creativeness. But in the end it turned out to be a wand of Maple with a snidget feather core which wasn't a common core which was probably why it had took them so long to find the right wand. It's length was 11 3/4 inches which felt the right size when Laura held it in her hand as it was true that the wand did choose the wizard.

     Upon arriving at Hogwarts Laura was sorted into Hufflepuff the house of the badger where she found it easy to make friends. At first Laura wasn't sure what to think of the burrow like tunnels that lead about the common room and dorms but she soon came to love them as it gave her a feeling like she was on of the lost boys from peter pan, a favourite book of hers. Upon starting Hogwarts it was found that Laura was a natural at transfiguration and she pleased her sister Julia's head of house every lesson and was one of the top of her class. Had Hogwarts done AP classes Laura would have been in the one for transfiguration. She was also quite talented in astronomy, ancient runes and divination. Her down fall came when she tried Care of Magical creatures in her third year but for some reason all the animals would get spooked when she was near so she transferred to a different elective instead, divination.

     Though the begin of summer after Laura's O.W.L's was a frightful one as their was a battle in Hogsmeade right after the graduation ceremony had taken place and people had begun to head to the town to depart. Laura and her sister Hannah made it back tot he castle together and later where joined by Julia too. It was a frightful event for all three sisters and shuck Laura up a bit but she soon let the effects of the event pass as the summer rolled on. It was in her sixth year that Laura had her first serious boyfriend. It all started out as an innocent date to the New Years Ball but they began to closer after and where considered a couple by Easter. They continued to date into seventh year and spent their second Halloween ball together but the stress of the exams at the end of the year finally broke the couple apart.

     Once her N.E.W.T's where competed having achieved a fair amount of them Laura obtained a low level job in the Goblin Liaison Office at the Ministry of Magic. She also got a place with her sister Julia in London. She enjoy living with her sister as there is always somebody there for her if she needs it especially at those bad times of year that can be just hell for Laura. She also likes to keep there flat tidy and always makes sure they have fresh flowers as she still loves to arrange flowers like she did when she was little. She even makes her own wreath at Christmas to hang on the door as she doesn't want them to just have any store bought wreath like any other person. Though now Laura is glad to here that the Dark Lord has gone, she is sad to here that so many people had to die in the process and hopes that things can now be peaceful.
