Padma Patil

Padma Patil (b. 1979– 1980) was a witch of Indian heritage who was in the same year as Harry Potter at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the identical twin sister of Parvati Patil. Padma was sorted into Ravenclaw house and became a prefect in her fifth year. She was a member of Dumbledore's Army, an organisation taught and led by Harry Potter. She later fought in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May 1998.

She survived the Battle of Hogwarts and went on to marry Bailey, a Gryffindor. They may have had children as they were seen on Platform 9 3/4 from 2018-2025.

Physical appearance
Both Padma and her sister were described by Dean Thomas in 1994 as "the two best-looking girls in the year". They are both very attractive girls with long black hair and are of Indian descent. Parvati usually wore her hair in a plait and it is likely Padma did also as the two always looked identical.

Personality and traits
Padma seems to be the less outgoing and more studious of the twins. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, a mark of her intelligence. Also, Padma was not yet asked to the Yule Ball by the time she was fixed up with Ron Weasley, despite her physical beauty the boys in her year did not seem to be interested in her, not even Dean Thomas who seems to have attended the ball alone. Padma was also made a prefect, something her sister never achieved, making her appear better trusted for the position by her teachers than her sister. She was also much quieter than her sister Parvati.

Magical abilities and skills

 * Defence Against the Dark Arts: Padma participated in Dumbledore's Army and probably learned some defensive spells there. Later, she took N.E.W.T. classes in this subject.
 * Potions: In 1996, Padma and Parvati brewed Babbling Beverage to disturb Dolores Umbridge. Unlike her sister, she took N.E.W.T. classes in this subject, indicating she earned either an 'Outstanding' or 'Exceeds Expectations' O.W.L.


 * Duelling: It is likely that Padma had a fair amount of skill in duelling as she survived the Battle of Hogwarts and joined Dumbledore's Army.

Bailey (surname unknown)
Padma met Bailey in 1995 when the Dumbledore's Army was founded. They were friends until in 1997, when they started dating and eventually married. It is hinted that they had a child.

Alfie Campbell
Padma and Alfie met in 1992, and Padma instantly had a crush on him. Alfie went to the Yule Ball with her, but, to her disappointment, abandoned her after one song. She eventually abandoned him after she started dating Bailey, and they were just friends.
