Her parents weren't meant to meet. Henry Montague's curiosity, rebellious streak, and obsession with music were the only things that had him to the muggle performance hall where he had come across Lydia. Once upon a time, he would have described their meeting as love at first sight. It led to a very quick courtship and after just a few short months, they were married and expecting their first child.
When Grace arrived, her parents were young and immature. And, Lydia never really had forgiven Henry for keeping the secret that he was a wizard until they were married. It was a breach in trust, and a wound that never really healed.
Their little family moved into Henry's family estate with his own mother and father, who never really approved of the match. They did, however, took the responsibility of raising Grace in a manner that they saw fit. Grace held their name and was to be a representative of their family in the magical world. She was given all the lessons that were expected of a young witch. Anything that was asked of her, she did without question in hopes to fully gain their love. She was never fully perfect as her grandmother would always remind her which only pushed her to try harder.
The environment at the Montague estate was hard on her mother. The once beautiful singer, wilted into a fraction of the woman she was. Grace (as an adult now) can see how leaving Henry in the end was a good victory for her mother. But the whole ordeal was hard.
Lydia and Grace left when Grace was eight years old. The change was absolutely jarring for Grace. She went from a large, cold manor to a much smaller cottage on an apple orchard. She left behind her life and friends for something she didn't fully know or understand. She didn't make friends well in her new community and was often left out of all the events involving kids. Music was her only solace and since she was considered rather striking, her mother got her involved in plenty of local pageants-- whether or not Grace wanted to.
Because of the divorce, Henry and his parents contact with Grace diminished leaving her feeling rather abandoned. It was pretty clear that her grandparents were happy to be rid of all things muggle in their lives and unfortunately, that included Grace.
Her hogwarts letter was a relief and while she had to convince her mother to let her go, Grace joined other witches and wizards at King's cross for her first year. She was sorted into Hufflepuff and for the first time in a very long time, she was somewhere that almost felt like home.
She is a fairly decent student, finding herself attracted most to alchemy. She enjoys quidditch and a few other clubs at school.
At the moment, with everything going on, Grace has managed to keep herself pretty neutral. She has friends on both sides but she knows that very soon, she's going to have to take a side.
