Maddysin had always stuck out like a sore thumb. She was half blood but had been raised not knowing anything about magic and had also transferred to Hogwarts from Ilvermorny after her first year there. Her father was in the muggle military and after her first year having been completed in Ilvermorny, he was stationed to a base in England.
When she started at Hogwarts, she was sorted into Hufflepuff bringing along her guinea pig. From her first day, Maddysin seemed to be the epitome of what one would expect from a Hufflepuff; she was kind to all (even those who did not return the favor), valued others opinions (even if she did not agree with them), and believed that there was some good deep down in everyone. It wasn’t uncommon to see her standing up to bullies or studying in a variety of places. She was also very involved in school activities and even took over as Hufflepuff seeker after Cedric.
Maddysin also had turned an old, abandoned classroom into a storefront (with the proper permission), where she sold things not available in Hogsmeade or even Diagon Alley in some cases. The store carried things like house pride thing, school necessities, various muggle things, and the school newspaper, another thing she started.
When Maddysin first entered the common room, she was carrying her equipment in her sports bag. The bag itself was yellow and the end were black with white and black straps. “Hufflepuff Quidditch” was printed on the side in glossy letters and her last name, Barnes, was under that. She had also added several patches to it; the Hufflepuff crest of coarse, an owl, a golden snitch, the seal for the American magical government, a small plastic pouch with her coin used the year prior for Dumbledore’s Army inside, and many others. She went into the girls dormitory before coming back out a few minutes later carrying a textbook, parchment, a quill, and an inkwell. She sat down and began working, her bright auburn hair pulled back into a messy bun with a few hairs not long enough to reach the back of her head falling over her crystal blue eyes. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
