hello there, my name is catherine finnigan but you can call me cat. i'm fifteen so that makes me a fifthyear at Hogwarts, where I reside in gryffindor house.

amortentia:fresh cut grass, chocolate, and the ocean

overall personality:Catherine has a hard time making friends, not because she is shy, but because she has an ability that makes it hard. Catherine is a seer, someone who can see future events, and people usually want to know what their future holds though she has told them time and time again that she can’t just see something on a whim. She never knows when a vision will come to her. As a child it was easy but scary and soon nightmares started. This makes it difficult for her to trust anyone because she figures that just want to befriend her for her ability. The nightmares have never stopped and now with a vision come tiredness and massive headaches. She hates her ability though everyone else says it’s a gift.
Catherine is very intelligent. She has a photographic memory and can remember and recall anything that she reads. It comes in very handy during exams and such. She is great with wand work but not with potion brewing. Another thing she isn't good at is flying. She absolutely hates it. She doesn't hate quidditch but she won’t watch it all the same. She has a fear of heights which goes into her hate and fear of flying. She can’t watch a quidditch match because watching everyone flying in the air on brooms is hard for her. She will start to get dizzy and soon won’t be able to breathe. You can see she has a phobia of flying and brooms. She won’t even go near the quidditch shop because just looking at a broom or anything to do with flying or quidditch she will start to hyperventilate. She tries so hard to be the best at everything but even she falls short sometimes. She is also terrified of the forest. She is more book smarts and such and doesn't hesitate to try and correct someone. This also makes it hard to make friends sometimes but she is just trying to help.
Catherine loves music. She has an excellent singing voice and learned to play the piano and guitar. She started taking singing, piano, and guitar lessons when she was six years old. She has always had a love and passion for music and for writing. Stories, poems, and songs run through her head constantly so she always has paper and pen with her at all times. She has issues with trusting people as it takes a lot for her to trust someone because of her seer ability and people constantly want to take advantage of her but that doesn't mean that Madison isn't trustworthy. If someone tells her a secret then it’s kept secret.
Most people think she's perfect but, Catherine doesn't let that get to her head. She knows she isn't perfect, no one is really. She lacks confidence in her abilities. She knows she is smart and all but to her there is always someone out there smarter than you, better than you which are the reason why she continuously strives to become the best though she knows it will never happen.________________________________________________________

history:The Daily Prophet wanted to do some stories on some students at Hogwarts. Catherine was one of the ones to be chosen for this. She was a little scared though because she had never done anything like this, she had never opened up to anyone she didn't know. She never opened up at all because she was afraid of being left alone. That was the most horrible feeling. She made her way across the floor to the office of the reporter doing the story on the Hogwarts students. She sat down in the chair and waited for the reporter to arrive. She sighed and messed with her hair until she heard footsteps outside and the door open.
The lady came in and sat down across from Catherine. She smiled at her and said “Hello there Catherine, my name is Eloise. How are you today?” Catherine smiled at the lady. She was pretty in Catherine’s eyes and reminded her of her mother. Hello she said smiling. I am fine Mrs. Eloise, thank you she said. “So how about we get started with this interview” Eloise said with a smile and Catherine nodded smiling. “So tell me some basic information about you before we get to the more intense information” she said after turning on a recorder to help her take notes. Well let’s see. I was born on July fifteen, to the parents of Seamus and Lavender Finnigan. I was the only daughter and youngest child, as I have an older brother. Uhmm what else, let’s see, I am in my fifth year at Hogwarts and I am like my parents and my brother I am a Gryffindor. That’s just some basic information about me she said smiling. It was hard for Catherine to open up. She twirled a strand of her hair around as she looked down then smiled up at the lady said “your hair is so pretty Catherine.” Thank you she said.
“So tell me about your childhood Catherine” Eloise said smiling. Well okay so I was born on a rainy day, at night. My mother would always tell me all about it. She said it was the easiest pregnancy she ever had, which to me meant I am much better than my brother she said while laughing. No honestly I love my brother. He has always been there for me trying to protect me from everything. If my dad was at work or something and couldn't be there then it was my brother. Around the age of five is when I started having visions, though we always thought it was nightmares. I kept seeing my family getting hurt and other people getting hurt. We didn't know it at the time but after a couple years of it finally my father got hurt one day and I overheard my father tell my mother what happened. I got scared and told my brother and he of course went to my parents. We finally found out that I was a seer and that it was on my mother’s side just it hasn't been activated as you say for generations. I was the first one in five generations to have the ability again. It’s scary to me really. I hate it she said looking down frowning. The reporter frowned as well and looked at her. “I am sorry to hear that Catherine. Is what you see all bad” she asked hoping it wasn't true but Catherine just nodded.
When I was six, like my brother before me, my father tried to teach me to ride a broom. I fell off when I got too high one time and I never wanted to get back on a broom again. I developed a fear of heights. I tried to fly one more time by myself. It wasn’t night time but almost. I fell off again and got lost in the woods for a day in a half before my father finally found me, which is why I am also terrified of the woods. So one would say I am a broken person she said with a slight shrug. “Oh Catherine that’s awful, but you are okay now” she said smiling and then said “so how is your trip to Diagon Alley and Hogwarts for the first time for school.” Well it was magical really. Buying my books, wand, robes, my owl for school, and everything else was exciting. I looked at everything with a new eye, of course when my father and brother wanted to go into the quidditch shop so I went back to Flourish and Blotts and looked for more books that I could read she said and looked down.
She took a sip of the water that had been brought there for her to drink. The train ride there to Hogwarts was amazing. I sat by myself at first then two other first years came into the compartment. They were chattering as I read a book I got a Flourish and Blotts. They were discussing what houses they wanted to be in and they both kept saying how they wanted to be in Gryffindor. We arrived there and all of us first years rode in the boats to the castle. The sorting ceremony was quick. Students went before me and when it came to my time I walked slowly up to the stool. The sorting hat took a couple of minutes to decide. It kept saying how I could have been in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Since my parents and brother were in Gryffindor so I whispered Gryffindor please and the hat shouted Gryffindor. After that my first year flew by. It took a little to get use to the castle but once I did I was never late again. My classes were fun except flying lessons. At the end of the year I did well and I went all year without having anyone know that I was a seer she said with a smile.
“That sounds like an interesting first year. Where the rest of your Hogwarts years like that” she asked. Catherine knew that she was talking about her second, third, and fourth year. Well little, the school and the students learned in my third year of my ability. Usually when I was about to have a vision that wasn’t a dream I could get away and get somewhere alone so no one would know. When I had them in dreams I could just say they are nightmares. One day a student found out and I asked her not to and she promised she wouldn’t but she did. She betrayed my trust that I gave her. That’s another reason I don’t trust people. I could always count on my family though. I started to distant myself away from my family during my fourth year. I don’t want them to hurt them with my visions, I fear that I may see something happen to them one day and it will come true she said. Eloise sighed and smiled at her “well it may not happen okay. It might come one day but you can’t distance yourself from your family dear.” Thank you Mrs. Eloise. Well the rest of it is that I am now in my fifth year at Hogwarts, and that’s my story. “It was exciting and thank you for coming down here dear. Take care and be careful” she said smiling as she hugged Catherine. Thank you mam she said and hugged her back then left the office and went back to school.________________________________________________________
