Early years[]
In 1991, Kellah began her magical studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Gryffindor House, home to the brave and daring, during the Sorting Ceremony. Along with the other Gryffindors, Kellah was led by Percy Weasley to the Gryffindor Common Room and through the Fat Lady's portrait. She shared a dormitory with Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil and other unidentified girls. Her Head of House was Minerva McGonagall, the Professor of Transfiguration.[3]
Third year[]
On 1 September 1993, Kellah did clap after Rubeus Hagrid was announced as Silvanus Kettleburn's successor as the Care of Magical Creatures professor at the Start-of-Term Feast.[3]
Remus Lupin was appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor that school year. Kellah attended her first Defence Against the Dark Arts class when she presented a Boggart to the class.[3] One by one, each student had to confront the Boggart, which would take the form of their greatest fear. Kellah's turned into either a rat, rattlesnake or a bloody eyeball.[4]
This year, she chose Care of Magical Creatures as an elective subject and was present when Professor Rubeus Hagrid, Professor Silvanus Kettleburn's successor, presented a Hippogriff named Buckbeak to the class. Kellah also was around Harry Potter's bed in the hospital wing and presented his broken broomstick to him with Ron Weasley. Kellah appeared to be close with Seamus Finnigan, opting to sit with him during lessons and meal times as opposed to her friends Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil.[3]
Physical appearance[]
She was a black girl with black hair worn in braids. She wore a single stud earring on each ear.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
