❝Esme Avalon Hestridge was born on a warm summer evening, on the 26th of June, 2014, in her family’s estate right outside of Canterbury. She was the only child of Thomas Hestridge — a man from a long line of renowned potion makers, and Eleonora Hestridge — a woman from the equally well known Sicilian Cavaleri family. Their marriage, though happy and advantageous, was not without its troubles. Thomas’ mother was a veela, and it became a point of contention for Eleonora’s family, who never envisioned their daughter marrying or having children with a wizard that was not fully human. Esme’s heritage was evident since she was born — with a head of angelic, pale blonde curls and pale skin. She came into the world already with a strong voice, wailing at the top of her lungs, and refused to be hushed or soothed for the first few, very tiring, hours of her life.

Her childhood was equally loud, though it took the form of music and discussion. Educated mostly by the best of private teachers in all manner of subjects, Esme took quickly to singing and mathematics. From a young age, she was blessed with a mind geared towards problem solving — enjoying the feeling of exhaustion after wracking her brain for hours over a problem, the applause after a successful performance. Her weekdays were spent in tutoring sessions or preparing for recitals — weekends were spent on trips to the white cliffs of Dover, either on picnics or her father’s sailboat.

Esme’s childhood was overall happy. She never lacked anything from either of her parents or from her extended family. Her grandmother, Victoria Hestridge, taught her how to play chess; and despite the friction between the Hestridges and the Cavaleris, Eleonora made sure her daughter still knew her mother’s family. Esme’s cousin, Stella, was only a year older, and trips to the Bianchi estate in London were arranged monthly. The two grew close through playdates and misadventures; ones Esme came to miss when Stella turned eleven and got her Hogwarts letter. Outside Stella and the rest of her family, Esme was reserved by nature. Her free time was spent buried in books or pondering chess moves — areas with formulas and clear cut paths that did not both pass times that her parents encouraged, making sure the library never ran out of books their daughter might want to read. The Hestridge family also hosted balls and galas on occasion, and were sure to instill a sense of good manners and etiquette in Esme, which she surprisingly did not mind. Though shy and quiet at first, being given rules and guidelines to follow let her predict what would come next and gave her a safety net to fall back on. Quickly, she felt just as comfortable in a ballroom as she did in a library.

On her 11th birthday, Esme arrived downstairs to the sight of two things — a sweet-smelling angel food cake, slightly crooked in that way only cakes home made with love are, and a letter with a red wax seal on top. Her bags were packed neatly a week before she actually left.❞

༄

FIOM. Esme first displayed signs of magical ability during a picnic with her family. At the age of four, cranky and tired after a day of play, she wanted dessert, and was not exactly happy to find her father trying to play keep away with it, playful as the attempt might have been. Just as he was about to give into her pouting, the angel slice suddenly flew out of her father’s hand and into his face, covering his nose in pink icing. Esme paid no mind to her family’s joy at the sign of magic, instead focusing on the fact she was no longer able to have the dessert she so badly wanted, and promptly broke down crying.

ESME A. HESTRIDGE. 𝕷orem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim. ESME AVALON HESTRIDGE WAS BORN ON A WARM SUMMER EVENING IN HER FAMILY’S ESTATE OUTSIDE OF CANTERBURY.

༄

❝The Hestridge family is known for two things: potion making and a progressive outlook on blood status that's seldom seen among long wizard lineages such as theirs. Both of these can be linked back to the early 1920s, when Adam Hestridge took over the potion making business and was the first Hestridge man to marry and have kids with a veela of French origin, Eloise Allemand. At the time, it was scandalous — there was no shortage of other pure-blood families that were quick to write the marriage off and call Adam a blood traitor. His children were further derided, called half-breeds and met with plenty of vitriol as well. Adam Hestridge, however, was not one to be easily shaken down; the business prospered under his leadership, and so did the family, his children and grandchildren becoming avid supporters and advocates for any sort of marriage that might deviate from traditional pure-blood expectations.

The business only grew more profitable after Adam's death, helping the Hestridges maintain their high social status, even as some married outside of what was considered proper. Adam’s great grandson, Lawrence Hestridge, followed in his footsteps and also married a veela by the name of Victoria. The two of them had two children of their own, a twin boy and girl named Thomas and Alice. Their son's marriage also followed family tradition in that it was embroiled in scandal — his wife, Eleonora, came from the Sicilian pure-blood Cavaleri family, and her marrying and having a child with a half-veela was cause of rumors and scrutiny.

That child was Esme.

Born in June, with pale skin, and a head of blonde, almost white, locks. She looked like a carbon copy of her grandmother since the very beginning, and came into the world with an enviable set of lungs, wailing like her life depended on it for hours, refusing to be soothed for long until her arrival. Her family had no doubt as to whether the veela genes were passed down or not. That conviction was only strengthened as Esme grew up — despite being only a quarter-veela. As an infant and toddler, she stayed a loud child, and her wailing and incoherent babbling soon turned melodic. She took to music like a fish to water, quickly finding herself with a knack for singing. Her mother introduced her to Italian opera, and soon Esme had private singing lessons and recitals alongside the rest of her tutoring. Her hair never darkened, and rather became one of Esme’s favorite features — the girl always taking great care of it, never letting it go un-styled even on the most casual of off days. Furthermore, as she grew up, she developed more and more of that otherworldly, eye-catching quality those with veela heritage have. Her skin is clear, pale, seemingly almost made of porcelain; her limbs are slim, almost too long.

As she grows into her own ancestry, Esme has begun to notice the varying attitudes those in wizarding society seem to have towards her and those in her family that share veela ancestry — the mix of fascination and distrust, the whispers that follow her parents about, glances filled with both intrigue and suspicion. Those closest to her have done their best to prepare her for all that comes with it, raising her to have pride in who she is and the family she comes from, and Esme’s confidence remains unshaken so far.❞
