Tracey Davis failed at Flying her first-year. It was the most embarrassing experience of her life. Well, perhaps that was an exaggeration. While everyone else was watching Neville Longbottom break his wrist, Draco Malfoy showing off, and the heavenly glory of Harry Potter, Tracey was standing off to the side furiously whispering, “Up!” She left the class in tears. Eventually, she learned how to fly, but never at the level of people who had their whole life, not like the rest of them. Not like her friends. Now, she can apparate, but Tracey still feels like she failed. Hell, the brooms probably sensed that she was afraid of heights.
The bleachers, however, were always a quiet place to study and were on solid ground. Usually. The sunshine was a nice change from the dreary Scottish winters, but even the sunlight didn’t make Tracey’s Arithmancy tables look any easier. The one good thing about the subject is that there was always a right answer, but just as she was about to understand the solution, a crunch on the gravel shattered her concentration. Irritated, she looked to see who had just walked in. Tracey grinned snarkily, “I don’t know if you’re aware, but the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw match was last week.” She turned back to her Arithmancy tables scribbling where she left off and closing her quill in her book. “Are you this late to everything you do?”

Hi y’all! My name’s Liz, and Trace and I are happy to be here. Below the cut is a kinda late intro, bio will be posted later in the day. If any of y’all wanna plot like this post, and I’ll message you.
So, some stuff about ya girl Trace:
- Tracey has always felt like the odd woman out in the Slytherin gang. Growing up she wasn’t as rich as them, and she wasn’t a pure blood. So, Tracey always feels like she is a step behind the rest.
- Because of this Tracey works really hard. She’s always the person staying up late to work, not because she likes learning but because she can’t fall behind. But even then she knows deep down that she is never going to be as smart/beautiful/popular as her friends. Despite that, she will never let anyone who isn’t in her inner circle see her insecurities, and she doesn’t resent them (too much). (honestly this girl needs to let the chips fall as they may and take a breath)
- Tracey always thinks about what she is going to say before she says it, usually w/ the maximum bite, but once you get past the layers of prickles and insecurities, she actually really cares a lot about people.
- When all of the people from the future came back, Tracey freaked out a little. Not because they are humans from the future pulled back in time for no apparent reason, but because none of them remember her. Her greatest fears were proven right the day they walked onto Hogwarts’ grounds, that she was never going to be good enough to be remembered and that this was all for nothing.
- So now, Tracey has to decide if all of the shit that she puts on herself is worth it, and whether she is going to do more or give up (or the third option which of course she hasn’t though of yet which is just to be happy with herself )
