    Appearance:
    Harry has dark hair and blue eyes. He stands at five feet, ten inches and has vaguely muscular build. His wand hand is his right hand. He dresses in a practical manner as is typical for men of his class and station.
    History:
    1857: Henry Matthew Spring is born and is nicknamed Harry, which he answers to more than his own name.
    1859: A brother is born and named Charles.
    1862: Another brother is born and named Jonathon.
    1864: Twins are born! They are named Alfred and Benjamin.
    1866: Margaret, a sister, is born.
    1868 And the final Spring child proves to be another sister named Felicity. The same year, Harrys Hogwarts letter comes and decides not to go. He was never much interested in attending since it would mean being away from his BFF and crush - in - denial whom already works at the big house in Askern Manor. His father manages to wrangle him a Stable Boy position.
    1869: Alfred passes away due to pneumonia.
    1870: Charlie goes off to Hogwarts.
    1871: Lydia graduates from Hogwarts.
    1873: Jonathon goes off to Hogwarts.
    1874: This same year, a group of Harrys friends buy him a wand for his seventeenth birthday as well as to celebrate his promotion to Groom! Needless to say, he is quite thrilled. This same year is when he fully comes to the acceptance that he is both only sexually attracted to men and also that he has had a crush on his BFF for years. It's awkward but he doesn't confess because awkward.
    1875: Benjamin goes off to Hogwarts.
    1876: Jonny leaves Hogwarts and becomes Papas apprentice. Lydia gets hitched.
    1877: Margaret goes off to Hogwarts.
    1879: Felicity goes to Hogwarts.
    1880: Benjamin doesn't return to Hogwarts and goes off to become a watchmaker.
    1881: Margaret finishes Hogwarts and eventually becomes a shop girl at Honeydukes.
    1882: Felicity finishes Hogwarts.
    1885: Harry is still not saying a word about his feelings for his BFF. It gets harder as each day goes by since they seem to do everything together! Of course, this is because his BFF assumes they're already lovers but Harry doesn't exactly know that. Because he is awkward.
    Personality:
    Romantic - Spontaneous - Awkward - Unambitious - Content - Gay
