Esra Bahar Gönül Gülay Mahmud was born in Ilksaray Castle, Istanbul, Turkey on 13 November 1933. She was the fourth and final child of Şehzade Mahmud, a former Prince of the Ottoman Empire, and his wife, a commoner, Miray Östürk. By the time Esra was born, the Ottoman Empire had already long fallen, but Esra and her family were still living in one of two Twin Castles that had been gifted to her father and mother as a wedding present by the Sultan. Esra was raised as a muslim and spent the majority of her childhood in Turkey, where she and her older sister Beyza shared a teacher. When Esra turned in eighteen, she moved to the United Kingdom to take courses at the ministry, but had to stop due to her poor English, as she found the language to be very difficult compared to the languages she grew up speaking, Turkish and Persian. While in the United Kingdom, Esra turned nineteen in 1952. The same year, she also met her future husband, Letholdus Cromwell. The couple met while sitting near each other in expensive seats at a quidditch match. Though Esra was not royal, her family still had plenty of money from their royal days. Letholdus tried to talk to her, but when he realized that she did not speak good English, he sat out to be the one to teach her. While teaching her, the couple fell in love. In 1954, they married in an expensive ceremony that included a 712 galleon golden and white gown and a small tiara with a diamond, roughly 17,800 United States Dollars. In 1956, the couple had a daughter, who Letholdus named Margaret. The two had previously decided that daughters would follow Islam whilst sons would be catholic. The birth of Margaret was followed by two sons, Edgar in 1957 and Kelvin in 1961. Margaret and Edgar were close growing up and Esra was a stay at home mother to her children whilst Letholdus owned a real estate company selling manors in Northern England and Ireland. Esra did not have much of a desire for a job, and instead enjoyed spending her time with her daughter, unintentionally favouring her as the two were able to talk about religion and have academic conversations together. She also spoke Turkish to her children, a running joke between Margaret and Esra. Esra, unlike her husband, did not call her children by their given names and instead called them by Turkish names. She called Margaret 'Melek,' a named with Arabic origins and meaning angel, Edgar 'Ejder,' which meant Dragon and had Persian origins, and Kelvin, 'Kadri,' meaning Value in Turkish. As her children got older and eventually went to Hogwarts, Esra became very interested in books and was an avid reader. As an anniversary present, Letholdus turned a spare room into her own library, full of books in onler Turkish, mostly about religion and music. Esra taught Margaret how to play piano, a skill that she and her sisters had learned as children. She also became passionate about anti-Slavery and began to take trips throughout Africa and Asia to fight against the trafficking of women and children. In 1974, Margaret graduated from Hogwarts and both Esra and Letholdus attended the graduation ceremony. As a graduation present, Esra took Margaret on a girls' trip to Turkey to see Ilksaray Castle, where Esra grew up, as well as Gerçekev Holiday House, a former winter residence where Esra's sister, Beyza, now lived. When Esra and Margaret returned, Letholdus had caught a fever, but not one seen in the muggle world. It was the kind of fever caught from an area polluted by dangerous potion fumes, and Letholdus had been helping a friend with experimental potions in his freetime. Esra and Margaret nursed him through his final days and he died at home in 1975, the same year that Edgar graduated. He became the man of the house whilst Esra spent most of her time in the library and in her study, reading and writing. In 1976, with the war still raging outside, Esra attended the wedding of Edgar and Sally, Duchess of Richmond. Esra, now older, spent most of her time inside but did donate to the war effort whilst Margaret volunteered at St. Mungo's. In 1978, after being charmed by Rosier, Esra blessed the union and attended the wedding of her daughter Margaret and Evan Rosier, unbeknownst to Margaret. Esra assumed that Evan loved her daughter and vice versa, and didn't realize until after the wedding of Rosier's evil intentions. Margaret ended up not taking his name officially on any documents, only shortly being called Mrs. Rosier, much to the relief of both Margaret herself and Esra, who grew to detest her son-in-law, but had a good relationship with her daughter in law. Her youngest, Kelvin, graduated Hogwarts in 1979 and never married, but had always been closer to his father and was much more introverted after the death of Letholdus. Kelvin did have a long time lover, James Henriksen, who Esra approved of and thought him to be a rather charming man. even joking of marrying him herself on Sunday tea, a tradition in which whenever her children moved away from home, they returned on Sundays for tea, popular within upper class families of the wizarding world. Esra attended the birth of all three of her grandchildren and was a loving grandmother, spoiling her grandchildren with expensive gifts that Margaret and Sally did not approve of but gave into every time. In 2002, Esra attended the marriage of her grandson Edward to Tracey Davis, and was one of the few family members of the family invited to stay in their home and await the homecoming of the young family, as well as being one of the first to meet young Marguerite. In 2004, Esra also welcomed Edward and Tracey into Cromwell Estate upon their return from their vacation in Turkey, with her second great grandchild, Isolde. In 2005, she attended the wedding of her granddaughter, Eliza Mahmud-Cromwell, Countess of March and Kinrara, to Maximus von Habsburg, a half-blood descended from the Muggle habsburg family. She also attended the birth of her fourth and fifth great grandchildren, twins Tatiana and Trevor in 2007. In 2009, Esra caught Dragon's Tooth, a uniquely wizarding disease that often comes from old age. She continued to suffer from side effects of the disease including nausea, extreme tooth aches and headaches, and weak legs. Esra began to become even more secluded that before, residing to her library. She had a portrait painted of Letholdus, which she spent increasing hours staring at. In 2010, she met her sixth great grandchild, Oswald, who was the son of Eliza and Maximus. In 2012, she had her final public appearance at her granddaughter, Lady Carson Mahmud-Cromwell and Andrew Wells. She met their two children, Zane in 2014 and Jacob in 2016. However, she did not form a good bond with them before she succumbed to old age in 2018. She is currently buried at the family cemetary off of Cromwell Estate. Her fortune went to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and her daughter Margaret and elder son Edgar continue to live at Cromwell Estate.
