Aurélie Dumont was a French witch who attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. She was pen-friends with Penny Haywood, and the two shared an interest in Potions. In the 1980s, she visited Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to search for an Alchemical artefact.

Biography

Early life

Aurélie attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, where she constantly felt overshadowed by her brother, Davet Dumont.

Visiting Hogwarts

At one point during the 1985–1986 school year, Aurélie visited Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, supposedly considering a transfer. Penny introduced her to Jacob's sibling, who proceeded to give her a tour of the castle alongside Rowan Khanna. However, they soon noticed that Aurélie was acting suspicious and seemed to be searching the school for an item. When confronted by Jacob's sibling, Aurélie admitted that she came to Hogwarts hoping to find an Alchemy-related artefact.

After reading about alchemy, Aurélie and Jacob's sibling realised that the artefact was most likely a chalice that belonged to Nicolas Flamel. However, they soon were asked to visit Albus Dumbledore's office, where he encouraged Aurélie to stop comparing herself to her brother and informed her that if the chalice did exist, it was not hidden at Hogwarts. She decided to pursue Alchemy not to outdo her brother, but because she enjoyed the subject. Afterwards, she said good-bye to Jacob's sibling and Penny, and returned to Beauxbatons.

• Duelling: Aurélie had considerable skill in duelling and was able to hold her own against Jacob's sibling.
• Care of Magical Creatures: Aurélie had considerable skill in the taking care of Abraxans, especially the ones owned by Olympe Maxime.

Possessions
