Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Appearance: Harry stands at 5’11” and has light blonde hair with blue eyes. His features are sharp and angular: a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and a straight nose.. He has faint lines across his forehead and around his eyes, more from age than anything else. He has a slight stubble along his chin and jaw, although was never quite capable of growing more facial hair. He prefers muggle fashion over robes, tending to lean toward dark colors.

History:
1850 | Harry is born, although he is not the eldest child. He follows two older siblings - a sister, Felicity, and a brother, Damien
1856 | Felicity is off to Hogwarts.
1857 | His first burst of magic – Harry shatters a wall in the family home after Lucinda is introduced to him after his mother has given birth. He most definitely does not want a younger sibling.
1859 | Damien is off to Hogwarts.
1861 - 1863 | Harry is off to Hogwarts and is promptly sorted into Gryffindor. It’s not hard to adjust to life there, especially with his elder siblings there with him. He doesn’t try out for quidditch, but he does join a few different clubs.
1863 - 1866 | OWLs comes quickly although Harry knows he’ll do just fine, so he doesn’t spend too much studying, outside of the courses he knows he’ll need to be an Auror.
1866 - 1868 | The only courses Harry takes are Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, and Potions. He graduates. It’s not top honors, but it’s something. He tours for a month, but promptly returns home in mid-August.
1868-1870 | Rather than touring for months like some of his friends, Harry enters the Auror training program. During the summer months, he interns in DLME.
1871 | With instructor approval, Harry becomes an Auror, under supervisor of his mentor, of course. He’s good at his job.
1876 | Five years later and with little incidents to report, Harry becomes a full fledged Auror. He’s also now eligible to take a wife, so he joins in on the Season when he can.
1878 | There is no one who catches his eye, at least until he meets Seraphina Rowle. She quickly dismisses him and Harry does not like that.
1879 | She comes to her senses though, knowing he is a damn good man, and the pair marry.
1880 | Harriet is born. Harry is not thrilled about her being a girl, but at least he knows Sera is able to bear children.
1882 | Algernon, his son is born. This is probably the first time Harry has felt pride in a long time.
1885 | Another child, Bernard is born. Two males. Sera has done her duty. She is boring and he finds he cares very little for her, but at least she is a good wife.
1893 | Life passes quickly with little fanfare. He is good at his job. His family is not his pride and joy, but they are fine enough. Until well, Sera comes to her senses one day and her whole attitude changes. Harry is furious. He hates this new version of her.
1895 | Ugh. This new version of Sera is terrible. Harry wonders if he could Imperius her again.


Personality:
Harry is a man who lives by external measures of success: career rank, family legacy, and the constant need to be seen as a good family man. He has flashes of charm (enough to court Sera, enough to hold his own in the Auror office), but his lack of warmth and his hunger for dominance can make him a difficult person. He is not a man who bends; he is a man who resents anything that dares to bend away from him.

Other: Any other information you want to include.
