The Hogwarts Coming Out Ball: Girl Most Likely...
As a new host of debutantes descend the stairs to the Great Hall and enter this summer’s season with grand hopes and dreams, this is Witch Weekly’s expert guide to who’s who of the latest young ladies on the social scene, and what to expect from them.

...To Marry A Cousin: Seneca Lestrange. Like most young Lestrange ladies, she will no doubt be educated to excellence as a Pendergast Rose, but may never be on the marriage market: a gentleman may attempt to seek her hand, but we would wager on another family arrangement.

...To Be Unlucky In Love: Darling Whitledge. A picture perfect debutante, and as pretty as her name. Although Miss Whitledge is entirely deserving of a happy ending, she may instead face her family’s terrible luck and end up dead, unmarried or worse, working at the Ministry.

...To Disappoint Her Family: Cecilia Bulstrode. The Bulstrodes’ only daughter, her family are no doubt hoping she will prove herself a diamond of the season — but rumour has it their daughter may not share their confidence. Will the pressure be too much for her?

...To Travel The World: Holliday Fudge. The Sanditon Resort may be the perfect summer destination, but Miss Fudge, like her late magizoologist father, adventuring uncle and curse-breaker brother, may well find herself drawn to foreign shores before she thinks of settling down.

...To Have Loose Morals: Citrine Weasley. While from a perfectly respectable family, Miss Weasley clearly does not hope to marry, for she is said to be taking up a career in professional quidditch. She is either the next unhappy Mrs. Desdemona Pettigrew in the making, or all that mixing with men and working class women will see her quite ruined.

...To Reject A Proposal: Angelique Farbridge. With looks, charm and money, this young heiress seems inclined to settle for nothing less than perfection. Perhaps there is something in the rumours of distant Veela heritage, and she will see gentlemen falling at her feet — but will any of them be enough for her, or will she always be disappointed by her own expectations?

...To Devote Herself To Charity: Shona Lukeson. Said to be of a sweet nature, this former Hufflepuff no doubt knows what it is to be pitied, what with the troubles of her extended family and the vivid red hair she shares with them. No doubt she will seek to find meaning in her life by helping those less fortunate. And then telling everyone else about it, probably.

...To Begin A New Fashion Trend: Nicolette Fernsby. Spirited and spontaneous, the advantage of her surname and her mother’s fashion house makes this almost a sure thing. We look forward to seeing how the latest Fernsby debutante is dressed to attend events, and whether any of her attempted styles catch on.

...To Be Found At The Piano: Cordelia Fawley. If she fails to make an advantageous marriage, this former prefect is extremely well-placed to make an accomplished governess or lady’s companion in high society, for her musical abilities are said to be beyond compare. She may not find a husband, but she will make a pretty ornament at society parties.

...To Make Someone Else’s Match: Ruby Urquart. With an avid interest in Divination and the stars on her side, Miss Urquart is a friend worth having, and will no doubt be able to offer good advice to those she cares about when it comes to making a match. If she approaches you at a party, it may be because she knows just who your soulmate ought to be!

...To Die Of Dragon Pox: Jemima Farley. Even having a handsome healer in the family may not spare this young lady the trials of a terrible disease. We are not convinced she will live long enough to see marriage; even at her first ball she was spotted with bloodstains on her white gown. Tuberculosis, perhaps?

...To Marry Up: Fortuna Cresswell. A gold overlay on her gown at the Coming Out Ball might be merely the sign of a proud Hufflepuff, but we suspect more ambition beneath. Miss Cresswell no doubt is looking upwards for her future, and may just have the drive to achieve that success - and with an architect for a father, she is likely to have a cool eye for constructing complicated schemes to get her way.

...To Settle Down In A Season: Frida Lestrange. With good breeding, a striking countenance and a demure character, what is stopping her? Hogwarts’ latest Head Girl and first down the steps, Witch Weekly sees no reason why she should not be first to the altar as well, and happily settled and on the path to motherhood before her peers have made a start.

...To Be The Life Of The Party: Amity Rosewood. She may not marry as swiftly as Miss Lestrange, though she could; but Miss Rosewood rather looks set to take the scenic route in life — and not just because she resides at the Sanditon! No, fun seems first and foremost this Gryffindor’s desire, and we can only hope a love of parties does not end up leading her astray.

...To Meet A Tragic End: Lillian Avery. Though intended to debut with the rest of her class, Miss Avery’s father met an ill-fated end in the wreck of the Santa Antonina, sinking her hopes of debuting. Will she ever make up for time wasted, or will Miss Avery be swept up like the tragic heroines of ballet, and meet an untimely, unwed end in a manner fitting of Giselle?
