Seraphina Picquery

President Madam Seraphina Picquery (fl. 1903 - 1928) was an American witch born in Savannah, who served as the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America between 1920 and 1928.

She owned a controversial Violetta Beauvais wand, a kind said to "take to Dark magic like a vampire to blood". She allowed wizarding consumption of alcohol during her mandate, saying that life as a wizard of the time was hard enough without banning booze, famously saying to her Chief of Staff that "The Gigglewater is non-negotiable".

She attended |Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During her sorting ceremony, she was offered a place in all four Ilvermorny houses, becoming one of very few students to be so honored. She chose Horned Serpent as her house.
