Boggart: A long dining table full of people expecting her to make a speech. It combines her two biggest fears. 1. Deipnophobia, her fear of dining with others, specifically more than three other people (unless it's her family, she can handle them) and 2. Glossophobia, her fear of public speaking. Making a speech at a large, formal dinner would have her stomach in knots.

Mirror of Erised: A quiet life in the country. Very simple. Sometimes she's there alone with just her pets, sometimes there's a husband and kids.

Patronus: Fox - It sounds silly, but fighting with her sisters. It's not so much the fighting, but the coming together and bonding after. Making up was always such a warm and positive feeling and to this day knowing she has her sisters support give Polly the strength to do what she wants. It gave her the strength to ask out Bobby Flemming in 5th year. It gave her the strength to become an auror. It gave her the strength to become an unspeakable. There's nothing she can't do when she knows her sisters have her back.

Polly Edrys Pomfrey was the fourth and final child for the most wonderful couple - Gillian and Petyr Pomfrey. She was a happy child that would entertain everyone. She would speak her mind and give everyone a giggle. She liked to sing and dance but would get grumpy if anyone caught her doing it before she was ready to put on a show. She shone in front of her family but when she was asked to perform for anyone else, she would freeze up with stage fright. She didn't like crowds. Even when she was in dance school she wouldn't perform on stage, she would stand at the edge of the stage, almost in the wings, just staring out at the large crowd.

Polly was the last of her sisters to attend Hogwarts and much to her surprise she was sorted into Gryffindor. She didn't quite fit in with the Gryffindor crowd. They were a loud bunch and she wasn't quite so open around so many people. She would quietly read or do her homework in the common room, laugh along with her peers as yet another buffoon humiliated himself trying to do a backflip of a sofa, and she would socialise with her friends. Dining in the great hall was always uncomfortable. There were too many people and not enough room. Apparently the founders had never heard of a little thing called 'personal space' or 'boundaries'. Many accidents happened when everyone was so close together and even though the mess was always sorted quickly, it was always an inconvinience, especially when idiots would like to splash. Polly would always try and eat meals at the end in the hopes that everyone had returned to their dorms so she could eat with at least a little peace.

It turned out that Polly was an absolute whiz at school. She excelled in all her lessons with ease and took advanced lessons when it came time for her NEWTs. She took as many extra lessons as she could and passed them all with flying colours. She was very pleased with her school career and put her mind towards becoming an auror.

Auror training was hard. She wasn't unfit but she wasn't in as top physical condition as all the other trainees, but she made it through with a lot of effort, luckily when it came to the studying side of becoming an auror, she was able to get through it without a single hitch, getting a perfect score. She teamed up with another trainee in her class who helped her with the physical aspect while she helped her classmate with the written parts. She managed to get through all the more fitter for it, and was chuffed to be an auror. After seven years on the job she was approached by an unspeakable. She was asked if she would consider changing professions and given a brief run down on what it was an Unspeakable did. She went on a tour of the Unspeakables department and felt drawn to the job they were offering her. She would learn all of their rooms, but her main work would take part in the Death Room. She's been absolutely astonished by her work and she's very happy that she's changed, but her life hasn't been all sunshines and flowers.

Polly has seen loss in her time. It started with her pet snail that her sister Primrose stepped on when she was six and culminated a few years ago in the loss of her brother-in-law, Jimmen and her little niece or nephew that her sister had been pregnant with. There have been losses other than death. One of Polly's boyfriends found it acceptable to dump her in the middle of her sister Poppy's wedding reception, right before she was due to read the apologies, a step she had agreed to take to overcome her stage fright for her sister, although all that happened was Penny had to take the cards and read them and no one was any the wiser, but it really cemented her a fear of speaking in public places and worsened her feelings towards dining in large groups of people that knew her. She's accumulated a few strange pets along the way, she has quite a soft spot for all living creatures, although her compassion doesn't really extend to all humans, she's seen some of the most terrible sides of humanity and she's not willing to forgive it, but she knows where everyone will end up once their organic bodies expire and that's a somewhat comforting thought, although perhaps a little macabre.
