    History:Leonard was born as an only child to an upper class family. He was spoiled from the very beginning of his life. He got whatever he wanted, his parents never said no to him, but at the same time, he was prepared to take over the family business once he finishes school. Leonard was from a very early age taught what it means to be responsible and how to achieve in life what every man should want. Those lessons his father gave him, bored him to no end. At the age of five, he set on fire the paper his father read to him. It was his first sign of magic. His father was both angry and proud. This time, he decided not to punish his son.


    Time went by and Leonard, who grew to be a more and more responsible boy, got his letter from Hogwarts. Upon attending it for the first time, he got sorted into Hufflepuff. Leonard was not a memorable member, being rather an average student as his mind was rather occupied with things his father taught him in his free time. His father taught him the basics of economy and managing the company.


    In his life, Leonard has only loved one woman his wife. He knew she was the one from the very first moment he had laid his eyes on her. Mona felt the same. Their families agreed to courtship and then engagement. After school the two got married. It didn't take them long to conceive a baby. They were very excited about that fact. Unfortunately, he lost his wife due to a unfortunate accident. His only child was born on a stormy night, before her time, in the garden that his beloved wife cherished. It was a stormy night and her mother was in the garden, sitting on a swing when the thunder hit it. Leonard the healer there as quickly as he could, but it didn't help. Mona died soon after she got birth to her daughter. Her final wish was that she'd be named Eulalie.


    Eulalie was so alike her mother, that it hurt Leonard badly and thus, he rarely saw her, using travel in business as his excuse. Eulalie was raised by governesses and other servants. She grew up to be a very fragile teenager and thus Leonard decided that she'd not be sent to Hogwarts, instead staying at home. When Hogsmeade opened, he sold that damned house where everything reminded him of his late wife and bought one in the village.


    In 1881, he hired a new governess that turned his life around in more ways than one. First, she disobeyed the healers and did everything what they told her not to. At first, Leonard was mad at her, but one night when his daughter overheard them arguing and interrupted them so fiercely defending her governess he saw that Lenore was right. The man started to stay more and more at home, because of his business and he watched Lenore with his daughter. Soon, he found himself under her charm. He intends to propose to her soon. For now he does everything to show her how good can he be.
