Blurb
The only child of a well-to do wizard and a muggle, Sarra Ketteridge grew up with full knowledge of the wizarding world, but also with plenty of knowledge of the muggle world, as well (mostly museums, plays, operas, and the like). At the age of five, she fell in love with the medium of painting and has not stopped since. By ten, she had the makings of a prodigy. At eleven, despite her wishes to be home-schooled so that she could spend more time painting, she was sent to Hogwarts at the insistence of her father, who wanted her to have a well-rounded education. The sorting hat took an unusually long amount of time to sort her, as even it could not figure out where to best put her. It finally placed her in Hufflepuff, but she felt as though she was a puzzle piece in the wrong space during her entire seven years there. She barely scraped by with a few O.W.L.s and even fewer N.E.W.T.s (which she only sat through on her father's insistence), preferring to concentrate more on her painting than her studies. Upon finishing school, she bade farewell to the few friends that she had made at Hogwarts and took off for Paris, to live as a struggling artist. In early 1976, she reconnected with former roommate Magdala Quince and her brother, Callum. What was originally a one-night stand between Callum and Sarra bloomed into a tentative relationship, which was not helped along by Sarra's relationship with Matieu Lenier, a Parisian gallery owner who often purchased her paintings "plus a little bit more," as well as Sarra's friendship with Callum's sister.
