Cat never knew her fathers name just that he was a Slytherin who fell in love with a Ravenclaw. The two were together as often as possible but because of house rivalries usually had to meet in secret. Their relationship blossomed into something more then just the casual snogging. After their seventh year a year after leaving school Joanna became pregnant. A hidden relationship suddenly became very public. When the boys parents found out they forbid their son from seeing Joanna again made damn sure of it since they had enough money to ask Jo's parents to leave town. Embarassed and angered at their daughter they did as asked. Jo was so hurt and angered she left home heart broken and all alone.
She decided to raise her daughter alone, and took odd jobs in stores all over London in order to make a life for her and her baby. Catriona was born in a small cottage on the wrong side of the tracks in Blackpool. No matter what the situation Joanna took good care of her daughter who was born in a woman's clinic late one winters night. Joanna loved her little Catriona from the moment she laid eyes on her.
Jo did everything she could to make a life for Cat, but it was hard because she had to depend on stranger to help take care of her daughter and she hated it but if they wanted to eat she had no choice. Jo's wages weren't much so sometimes the two barely ate anything but Cat never minded because her mother loved her to death so Cat was always happy and loving. She was beautiful and charming, people loved to be around her. Everyone in their community knew her.
Jo didn't keep things from her daughter so when Cat was old enough she told Cat about what her father had done and what she was. As Cat blossomed and started to come into her powers Jo managed to find a way to send her baby girl to Hogwarts, actually taking on three jobs. Cat did her mother proud as a Ravenclaw herself getting the highest grades.
Cat grew into a beautiful woman after seven years at Hogwarts she didn't even recognize herself. Once school was over she went home to try and help her mother a bit, but Blackpool held little appeal for her despite how she felt for her mother. A form of refuge came in a talent agent who had spotted her in marker one day. Her said she was striking and asked if she ever thought of modeling. Cat hadn't but she did know that models got to travel so after making sure he was legit Cat allowed him to represent her.
So for 10 years Cat traveled all over modeling trying to live life like a muggle though it was the hardest thing she ever had to do. But the life soon tired her out and she had made more then enough money to retire into obscurity. Her mother had been taken care of and was now living in Hogsmeade where Cat paid for a flat with her. After she returned home Cat wondered what to do with the rest of her life. After a visit with her mother she noticed a for sale sign on Madam Puddifoots tea shop, a shop she had visited many times before when she was at school and it just felt perfect. After seeing the relater she bought the building keeping it the same as it was but running it her own way.
