History:
Showing early promise in feminine arts such as dance and music, Leona shows the most interest in transfiguration and living things. When her older siblings begin marrying and having children of their own, Leona becomes obsessed with the idea of having her own family, and her doll collection rapidly multiplies to appease her. Her first act of magic is to vanish thorns from a rose that pricks her finger in the gardens as a child. While most of her siblings opt for Beauxbatons Leona baffles (and saddens) her mother by voicing her wish to attend Hogwarts like her father and brothers.
1872-1878:To the surprise of absolutely no one, Leona is sorted into Gryffindor and quickly makes her place among the rowdy House. She thrives in transfiguration, herbology, and charms, but shows no interest in her family's (or anyone else's) illustrious history. She passes all of her OWLs, but is relieved to be rid of things that don't interest her. She continues on with the five courses that she enjoys and invests her spare time in friends and active club life.
1879:Graduation and debuting for the youngest Neville is an event. While she enjoyed her education, Leona is ready to build her own life and family and takes to Society with gusto. Unlike her sisters, Leona shows no interest in returning to France and marrying there. Her English blood has won out, and she has every intention of marrying an Englishman. While this suits her father fine, Leona's French-born mother is less than pleased with her youngest child's wishes.
At a summer ball, Leona is reacquainted with Achilles Newberry, also a former Gryffindor. Leona's vision for her future quickly begins to include the eldest Newberry boy.
1879: Achilles' intention to court Leona raises eyebrows in the Neville home. While he's already proven himself a stellar young man with a rising career and the means to support a family as an heir, he breaks the unspoken, but longstanding Neville rule of marrying Pure. Having already set her sights and dreams on becoming Mrs. Achilles Newberry, Leona will not hear of objections and spends the next year jumping through her parents' hoops to prove her point.
1880:After a year spent denying the multitude of wizards her parents attempt to pair her with, Leona is granted her wish of courtship with Achilles. The pair court the months required by her parents before marrying quickly after Leona's twentieth birthday.
1883:The first child of Achilles and Leona is born to ecstatic parents. Diomedes Elijah Newberry is born July 26 to fanfare, and all the world has to offer the heir of two well-established houses. Leona's world shifts to center on her little prince and she is seen with her little one in her arms more often than his nanny.While she loves her husband and her active life, Leona's identity has fully shifted to mother. While she always intended to build a dynasty of her own, she cannot imagine splitting her attention between children. The drive to fill the house with little Newberrys calms slightly.
1889:Days before son's sixth birthday, news reaches Leona that her oldest sister's son has died suddenly. While no longer close to Enora or her four children, Leona still feels this loss on a primal level, awakening a fear in her that had always stayed in the realm of the impossible. She and Achilles become more protective of their son.
1893:Life for the Newberrys seems perfectly secure. There are whispers that Achilles may receive a place on the Wizengamot; Diomedes is just a year away from his inevitable Hogwarts letter; and Leona learns that she is pregnant for a second time. The only cloud on the horizon is the thought of her son living away from her for the first time. Still, Leona is counting her blessings. She has, in every way, the perfect life.
