History:
Bertram, Bram Nordstrom. Born on 12/25/1859 to a well known and rich Pureblood family from a magical town in Sweden, Malmo. Bram, the oldest of four kids, has always been smart and well liked. He attended Gokstad Academy in the Netherlands, played Quidditch, excelled in Dueling and was the founding member of the Gokstad Wizarding Chess Club. His parents were detached, relying on nanny’s to raise their children, like many other Pure Blood families.
After Graduation, Bram went on to further his education, ultimately working his way up to a high profile Solicitor with the Swedish Ministry of Magic. He specializes in representing the Ministry against those who choose to break magical laws. Even at 60, he is at the top of his game.
Bram married Allegra, his wife of nearly 40 years. This was not a marriage of love, but of name. It was required to keep the Pure Blood lines going for both families. They were blessed with three children, Thomas, Gannon and Margery.
Bram and Allegra lived very different, separate lives. Bram stayed at the family estate in Malmo, Sweden while Allegra lived at their London Brownstone. She was the face of the family, attending parties and charity functions, while Bram worked hard and loved his job. The Swedish Ministry was a smaller governing body, not needing his services as much as the British Ministry of Magic, so he started spending more and more time working in London.
In the summer of 1917, Thomas contacted his parents to take custody of their only child Matilda. Thomas, a squib, was unwilling to raise a magical daughter. Matilda’s home life began to take a negative turn, so Bram and Allegra took full custody of the then 12 year old girl.
Bram is a doting grandfather. He loves his children and grandchildren. A serious businessman, had a sweet and sensitive side when it came to the kids in his family. In the courtroom he was tough and determined. Not giving in to the pressures or demands that came with the position.
Prompt Response:
Meeting after meeting after meeting. Why this couldn’t have been a letter he didn’t understand. Everything about this next appointment made his skin itch. It wasn’t the subject matter or the attendants, no, it was the department head that called the meeting.
Hattie Shire
His body shuddered at the thought of being in the same room as her for more than a few minutes. Not only did she have a voice so sugary sweet he would surely have cavities, but her clothing smelled like moth balls and her hair smelled like year old potpourri. And not the good kind, but the stuff that burned your nostrils and stuck to your nose hairs for hours after indirect contact.
Hattie was the ancient head of The Department of Magical Affairs. So his boss. It was unconfirmed, but many believed her to be over one hundred years old. Her skin was nearly translucent, her hair peppered grey and white and a cane could always be found in her hand to make walking slightly more bearable. It was her eyes though, that sent shivers down his spine. She may look one hundred and ten, but her eyes were bright and alert. She missed nothing. Still a viper in the courtroom, he didn’t envy those that had to go up against her.
If it wasn’t bad enough that he had another meeting to attend, but he was late. She was going to eat him alive. Sure, he was in court and it went long when the prisoner started screaming. Dementors showing up will do that, but no excuse would work with Hattie.
Finally arriving at her door, Bram took a deep breath, adjusted his tie and knocked. Right before his hand hit the wood of the door, the door opened, revealing Hattie Shire in all her old lady glory.
Cleaning his throat, “Ma’am, sorry I’m late. Court ran long.”
He took his seat across from her, back straight, brief case sitting at his feet. “What was it that you wanted to discuss? Something I can help you with?”
