Edgar Sr. taught his son to be hard working, ambitions and cunning in all aspects of life. On the football field, in school and life in general. There was a time to have fun and a time to get serious. As hard as the two worked, they knew about kicking back and having a good time. Marston's mother taught him to be patient, loving and nurturing with more than just the horses in the stables.<br/><br/>With a good collection of virtues under his belt, the young man has a few "vices". Marston can be cocky and reckless more often that naught. He is a good sport and shakes hands after a game, win or lose, but during the game all bets are off.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Marston was born into a large family in Texas. Sunday Dinners, Friday night football at the high school and Rodeos were all common occurrences. As he got older he began to learn that the two kids he thought were his friends were actually his step siblings who wanted nothing to do with him. It was difficult for him, more so when his other cousins began to pick sides. By the time he was ten he learned about his dad's first wife and divorce. Luckily, his mother chose to look past the hostility she endured (from time to tome) for the family she loved.<br/><br/>Marston made friends at school and was an active athlete and student who still had chores back home every day. Life was good up until his later teens when things started to happen, unexplained things (magic). Just as he was about to conclude that something was not right (manifestation of his powers) his father's health began to deteriorate.<br/><br/>Edgar Sr. Died over the summer of his junior year and his life started to fall apart. Lawyers were involved quickly to battle over the estate of his father and attacks became personal. Surprisingly, his grandparents sided with Marston and his mother and a deal was made. His mother wished to return home and he swore to his father that he would move and stay with her as long as needed after his senior year. The revelation that he was a wizard had not been lost on him but he had lots of things on his plate.<br/><br/>Marston visited his mother and grandparents in France often, even spent a few weeks over the summer. He met his other side of the family and began to make connections with them as he went back and forth. Moving to France was the last thing he wanted to do, but he had given his word and was not raised to break it. Plans for college and the family business (decision) back home were put on hold, his grandfather stepping out of retirement in the meantime. He would have to decide what to do soon, but until then he would give the wizard world the chance it deserved.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/319bfce7d1df30eab07c28ce3ed31ee9_zps70e79f24.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Edgar Marston Harlaw Senior</em></strong></span>- Deceased, Born to a large family in Taylor Texas, The Harlaw family have been a cattle ranchers for generations and recently entered the world of tourism with their "Dude Ranch". Sadly Harlaw Senior passed away rather suddenly, leaving his beloved wife and son behind.<br/><br/>Edgar was a hard working man who was born and raised in Harlaw Texas. He was the oldest of three brothers and one sister. He was a star athlete and went to college on a scholarship playing college football while majoring in business. Edgar took over the family business and in time divided it between his siblings, keeping it all in the family.<br/><br/>Edgar passed within a short period of time from a brain Aneurysm. What little time he bought (thanks to his wife) was cherished and used to put his family's affairs in order. He knew of his wife's history, of her powers and called his son to his side right before his passing. It was there he revealed he was a wizard, those moments unsuspected things had occurred were him. His final wish was to give the wizard world a chance, until he was able to control himself enough if he still wished to go college in the muggle world.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Marstonsmom_zps592ec7db.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Emmanuelle Harlaw </em></strong></span>- Emmanuelle grew up in a traditional pureblood wizard family in France. One of three daughters, the girls all attended Beauxbatons and returned home. Both of her sisters were married off (arranged marriages) to prominent wizard families and took on their roles as was expected of them. Emmanuelle rebelled and traveled the world, muggle and wizard and ended up in Texas were she fell in love and married her muggle husband.<br/><br/>Emmanuelle was twenty years younger than her husband and his family claimed she was a gold digging trophy wife. It took time, especially since Edgar's ex wife was around due to the children from his first marriage, but the Harlaw's in time opened up to the beautiful young woman.<br/><br/>The death of her husband (and her son) were the links holding her in Texas but she yearned to go home. Marston was not pleased about the decision to leave Texas, but his father's death bed wishes revealed much about his mom and what was the right thing to do.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>The Ladies, football (American), trucks, guitars, rock and roll, country music, Johnny Cash, steaks and potatoes, rodeo, shooting (guns), riding, horses, baseball, jeans, camping.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Seafood, tobacco, "Social media", wasting time<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>Losing his freedom, loosing his friends (after the recent move), growing frail and old.<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>Horses, Rattlesnakes, tortoises<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>Black, Denim<br/><strong><br/>Class Schedule </strong><br/><br/>Defense Against The Dark Arts<br/>History of Magic<br/>Potions<br/>Herbology<br/>Charms<br/>Transfiguration<br/>Flying<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Aiden </strong></span></div>
