Early Years

1875 | One May morning sees Idunn Caroline Fraser born to particularly eccentric parents. At the time of her arrival, her eldest sibling is well into her time at Hogwarts, and her next nearest is toddling about. There is also another sister, but Te hasn’t decided her birth year yet. Idunn is a quiet baby with what seems to be a look of perpetual judgment upon her small features.

1879 | Her first act of magic sees her slam a door in her father’s face as he was interrupting her quiet time.

1881 | Idunn finds herself intrigued (in an academic way, not a sociopathic one) by how effective poison is at ridding the cellar of rats. This begins her fascination with the subject in general.

1884 | Tyr departs for Hogwarts, leaving Idunn the last child under the Fraser roof. While the housekeeper and her governess do all in their power to keep her more normal than her parents (a low bar), she is often dismissive of their efforts, preferring the company of books to that of people.

Hogwarts

1886 | It seems like nothing short of a miracle when Idunn is finally able to attend Hogwarts, the months prior having dragged on so terribly that the young witch thought she might never be free of the family home and able to grace the castle’s halls. Her curious mind sees her drawn easily to Ravenclaw, where she at once both finds compatriots and is horribly let down by how silly many of her peers in the ostensibly “intellectual” house are. Not surprisingly, she finds herself most drawn to Potions among her courses.

1888 | Now a third year, Idunn happily adds Ancient Runes and Ancient Studies to her course load. In a moment of (she insists) madness, she takes on Divination too, hoping it will unveil the secrets of the world to her. Thus far, it has not.

1889 | Astrild marries and gives birth to a child without ever seemingly to court or be pregnant. This is highly suspicious, and the only explanation that Idunn is ever given is "something from work" was involved. While she dislikes not getting the full story, she places her investigation of the matter on the back burner—for now.

1890 | Astrild fucks off to Norway. Idunn figures this is probably more interesting than being a wife & mother anyways.
