Meet Lady Adelaide: A Hufflepuff and very practical, Lady Adelaide has had a hard life but she’s taken it in stride. She is the last ‘sane’ direct descendant of the FrothWraith line. There are some male third-cousins twice removed, but well, one’s in Askaban, and the others are best not spoken of. After all, they stopped speaking to her first! She was raised by her great-grandfather, and at first, there were high hopes of marrying her off to another pureblood family, but none of the other purebloods were willing that any of her children would carry on her maiden name. The females in her family are usually ‘weak’ and ‘sickly’ and only have one child at most. Someone started a nasty rumor that Lady Adelaide actually couldn’t HAVE children, and since then she hasn’t seen one single suitor.

When negotiations got nasty, Adelaide would be sent outside. She spent much of her time exploring the large outdoors of the estates. The old gardener would often take her on the little skiff around the lake and sometimes let her help him fish. He never used magic, only twine and hooks and worms he’d find gardening. These peaceful times are her fondest memories. Later, after he and her grandfather passed away, she found out he’d been the Squib twin of her great grandfather—a hidden family secret.

Going to school in Hogwarts, she respected Professor Sprout tremendously, and although not particularly keen on plants, she DID become interested in animal husbandry. That led her to a lot of thinking and questioning about purebloods and offspring. She rather suspects that her family’s methods of keeping a pregnant lady lying still and quiet in one room all nine months might actually NOT have been healthy for the mother. Not to mention the inbreeding. She’s learned the hard way not to mention it, that is, except among her closest friends. Perhaps, just perhaps, she will be able to prove them all wrong and become the most fertile of the lot!
It was her idea to try out this ‘mad muggle scheme.’ Having spent so much time outdoors trying things ‘Squib style’, she’s fairly certain she can pull it off.
