Background Story:
Madeleine father, James Durand, was born in France but grew up in England. He was raised by a former Auror and homemaker. He lived a practical life with his parents and eight siblings. There were good times and bad times. He struggled a lot during his educational years since they didn’t have quiet enough money to send James to the university he deserved to attend. He moved back to France after graduating. He worked in a small wizarding store. After three years of working their and studying to be an Auror he was finally offered the Auror position.
Her mother, Geneviève Chevalier was born and raised in France. She was from a higher muggle class family. She was taught proper etiquette and received the finest education. She attended a prestige university and worked at a small law firm until meeting James Durand. They couple dated for a year before they finally got engaged. After the engagement James told Geneviève all about the wizarding world. In the beginning it was very hard for her to handle but she grew accustomed to it and now loves everything about the wizarding world with its magic.
The Durand Family soon expanded with seven children, four boys and three girl. The children grew up in a well privileged home. They received the top muggle education by Mademoiselle Antoinette. They learned Mathematics, History, Literature, Science, Art, Music, and Etiquette. They were her student s until they received their letters to attend a wizard/witch school. All of the Durand’s were wonderful students and children with great poise and elegance except when it was time to play. They let all of their ambitions fly away. They climbed trees, wrestled, swam in the pond behind their house. Madeleine’s favorite game to play with her siblings was Hide-N-Go Seek. She was always it since she was the littlest but she was always laughing and running after her brothers with a fiery spirit.
The Durand family has always been a large close knit family. Their family bond is the strongest aspect in their lives. When a family member is down there is always someone there to help pick them up no matter what the situation or problem is. That is their motto. The love, care and cherish every moment they have together.

Madeleine skipped like a overjoyed school girl across into the kitchen. Her slippers slid quietly across the hard wood floor. Her snuggly pajamas warmed her as she took a seat onto one of the high stool. She crossed her arms and snuggled them underneath her head as she laid it against the counter.
Three of her brothers along with her father occupied the table patiently waiting for breakfast to be cooked and served. Madeleine’s mother stood near the stove scrambling the eggs while humming a soft tune. She stared at her mother. Even now with her unruly hair and dirty apron she was absolutely gorgeous in Madeleine’s eyes.
“Mama, do you need any help making breakfast?”, Madeleine asked politely.
“No it‘s fine darling you just sit there and wait.”, her mother replied. She grabbed the footstool from the closet. The flour was at the top cabinet ,to high to reach without the footstool. Her mother stood on it and reached into the cabinet. She felt around the inside of the cabinet reaching as far back as she could to get the flour. Madeleine watched her mother try so desperately to get the mix when an old dusty grey owl flew through the window smashing into her mother’s back. Her mother began to tumble to the floor along with the flour now in her hand. Flour went flying everywhere in the kitchen including all over her mother, the owl and herself.
“Mama are you alright?”, Madeleine asked as she immediately got up from her stool and went to investigate. Her brothers and father rushed to her mothers side. While her other brother and two sister ran down stairs after hearing the loud crash. Her father gently pulled her mother into his arms careful not to hurt her. The owl now on to of the counter flicked away the flower coating its feathers. Her oldest brother, Alexandre, went over to the owl and patted off as much of the flower as he could. Then he noticed the tiny envelope tied neatly to his thin foot. He quickly untied the letter ,which was addressed to Madeleine and handed it to here.
