Nicola Barrows/Family

The Barrows are a pureblood family who live at the Barrows Estate, a square-shaped manor in the British countryside that's partially surrounded by beautiful gardens.

## Halwyn Barrows

### Appearance

Halwyn is a tall, pale, and skinny forty-year-old man with brown hair that's styled like a flattop, blue eyes, is clean-shaven, and is slowly showing signs of middle-age and a midlife crisis on his hands. When he goes to work at the Ministry of Magic, he usually either wears a dark suit with a yellow checkered tie or his dark green robes. When he's not working, he would wear semi-formal clothing or a bathrobe of a different color.

### Personality

Halwyn is basically just the typical bumbling father. While he loves Nicola and Sherman equally, he tends to have his own quirks as well. Sometimes, he can be dedicated to doing his job well and there are other times when he doesn't pay attention and gets pretty tired quickly. Halwyn is also eccentric and he can embarrass his children which can mostly lead to arguments with his wife, Irene. Fortunately, they haven't broken up so far as despite Halwyn's oddness, he's still a faithful husband to Irene and a loving father to his two children.

### History

Halwyn spent his childhood at the Barrows Estate before attending Hogwarts just as his family members had done. He was sorted into Ravenclaw and he met Irene, who was in Hufflepuff at the time and while they got off on the wrong foot, the two of them soon became good friends by early November. Even though they had their disagreements and fights, they mostly got along as friends anyway. Soon, they started dating during their sixth-year and when they graduated from Hogwarts, they went to work for the Ministry of Magic. After that, they got married and went to live in the Barrows Estate.

## Irene Barrows(nee Goldfinch)

### Appearance

Irene is a beautiful forty-year-old woman of average height with long, curly brown hair, blue eyes, wears her red light lipstick, and wears a gold ring on one of her fingers. Whenever she goes to work for the Ministry of Magic, Irene would often wear her formal clothing and when she's not at work, she wears a light blue blouse with a gold chain, and an orange blazer.

### Personality

Irene is a strong woman who likes to spend time with her family and is very confident in her abilities. She's polite to other people and knows when to do the right thing. Irene also cares about her family a lot and whenever she faces a challenge, she takes it head on with a flurry of passion and can be serious when she works hard at her job at the Ministry of Magic. However, that single-minded passion can be referred to as stubbornness and she wouldn't see the big picture. As a result, her headstrong personality can lead to arguments between her and Halwyn. Sometimes, though, she and her husband would soon forget about the reason why they were arguing and make up.

### History

As a child, Irene loved running around outside her home in Sheffield and playing football with the boys. When Irene received her acceptance letter from Hogwarts, she was thrilled and looked forward to Hogwarts only to end up being sorted into Hufflepuff. At first, she didn't like being in Hufflepuff until she soon met Halwyn who had recently been sorted into Ravenclaw. Neither one of them could deal with being in the same room as the other person. Yet after a while, Irene and Halwyn soon became friends until they started dating during their sixth-year. After graduating from Hogwarts, they began working for the Ministry of Magic and after a few years, they got married and went to live at the Barrows Estate.
