Margaret Mahmud-Cromwell

Margaret Victoria Nazikeda Mahmud-Cromwell was born to Esra Mahmud and Letholdus Cromwell in 1956 at their home, Cromwell Estate. The marriage of her parents was a happy one, but her mother struggled with English and Margaret grew up speaking both English and Turkish, something she would eventually pass on to her son. Margaret was the oldest of three, followed by two younger brothers named Edgar and Kelvin. The siblings got along well and Margaret was very close to her brothers growing up. She began attending Hogwarts in 1967 and with her she brought her cat, Kenny, who was her loyal companion during her Hogwarts years. She was sorted into Ravenclaw House where she thrived. Margaret was rather popular. She had all of the right ingredients to be popular, money, looks, academic skill, quidditch, and above all she was very kind. Margaret was friends with everyone who would approach her and everyone who sat alone, which would later be her downfall. It all started when she was in fifth year. Evan Rosier was two years above her and a Slytherin. When he wasn't with a goon of future loyal death eaters, Evan was sitting alone in the library and avidly reading up on dark arts. Margaret approached him, noticing him always sitting in the corner of the library. he was rather cold to her, but Margaret persisted and the two developed a sort of acquaintanceship. In reality, Evan had planned to use her for his own gain, but when he realized it would be harder than he thought, he sort of abandoned her. She got over it, not being that close to him, but upon her graduation in 1974, he decided he wanted her again. He began to pine after her, but she rejected his advances and he carried on many affairs. He decided to go back to it one last time in 1977 and he charmed Margaret's parents into getting their blessing to marry her, without Margaret being aware. Margaret married Evan in 1978, and though it hadn't been well planned the wedding was a rather nice ceremony at Rosier Residence in Wiltshire. Margaret did not know the extent of Evan's dark arts and tried to keep and open mind and stay with him, but when she found out the full extent of his devout death eater activities, she went back to Cromwell Estate, alone and seven months pregnant whilst Evan continued affairs and dabbling in all things dark. She gave with in 1978 to a son, Edward, who she named Edward Evan Howard after her husband, hoping that perhaps meeting his son would help their relationship and make him see the light. Instead, Evan abandoned his newborn son and his wife and continued on with his life as though he was not married. He had used her, gotten what he wanted, and now he was done. He died shortly later in 1981 whilst Edward was two. he never knew his father, and rather than grieve, Margaret felt a sense of relief at his death. Margaret lived at her home on the Cromwell Estate and frequently traveled to Turkey to be with her Aunt Beyza. She had a close relationship with her brother Edgar and his wife, Sally, Duchess of Richmond. The couple worked and Margaret, who did not, frequently took care of their daughters, Eliza and Carson, who grew up with his own son. When her son began at Hogwarts, Margaret began to work part time at St. Mungo's as a secretary to fill her time. She also became a patron of charity and frequently attended events with her sister-in-law, Sally. When her son graduated from Hogwarts, she helped him restore the residence next to theirs, which he named Crimson Manor become of the red brick. Margaret gave her blessing to the marriage of her son Edward to Tracey Davis, a half-blood Slytherin who he had been friends with for years before beginning a relationship with and eventually proposing to. Margaret, who really liked her daughter in law, also helped Tracey design her engagement ring and helped her son cover the cost of the gorgeous ring. After the wedding, Tracey proposed that they auction off Rosier Residence, which had been in her possession since the death of her husband but she had been avoiding. She agreed to the idea and the two auctioned it off. She faced her fears and helped in the remodel, where it is now a church and daycare which she frequ

ently visits and assists at to this day. As of April 2021, Margaret continues to work as a secretary at St. Mungo's and be a patron of charity. She resides in Cromwell Manor with her sister-in-law and brother as well as her nieces and has a strong relationship with her granddaughters, Marguerite and Isolde.
