Early Life

Esther would do anything to no longer struggle. Father came back from the war, a thing many men could not say the same. But he came back different.

Thomas Harlow was a creative. Could fix anything that was broken and had a knack for invention. He was conscripted to fix the tanks and armored vehicles that rolled over the very streets they once called home. In that time, he got hurt. An accident of some kind resulted in the loss of the use of his hand. He couldn’t work after that, at least not how he once did. That kind of loss left him a shell of a man he once was. Mother tried to step up and find work but the jobs that paid well were quickly filled by the other servicemen that returned.

The family had to downsize. Clothing had to be sewed back together and reused. There were many nights that 2 meals had to get them through the day. It was around that time that Esther took to the streets to make what she could. Small jobs in shops, and at times she tried her hand at pickpocketing or other little scams to get coin. Esther looked older than she was but that did not make up for her naivety about life. Why did it seem so much easier for everyone else? The other girls her age were not up before dawn to help provide for their family.

If the financial and social struggle was not enough, what made matters worse were the strange things that would happen if Esther got particularly angry or sad. Papers would scatter like a gust of wind blew through despite the windows and doors being firmly shut, or that one time a man sitting in a chair outside a shop met the ground when the leg snapped suddenly after Ester saw him rudely calling out to young ladies on the street. Esther read books about ghosts and just kind of assumed she must be haunted. The day the strange people showed up to their house and explained that she had magic was undoubtedly life altering news, and it at the very least gave her comfort that she was not mental. Not in that regard at the very least. Her parents were reluctant but at the end of the visit there wasn't much to argue with. It ultimately would be one less mouth to feed for most of the year. To Esther this revelation was exactly what she needed. If there was one thing she was certain of so young, it was that she wanted her life to be the opposite of what she had.

She dreamed of riches, new clothes, and comfort. A life absent of worry. If this Hogwarts School could get her anything it was a fresh start, right?
