She looked uncomfortable with the topic, but opened her mouth to speak anyway. She could trust Harry. "I am- was, the oldest child in the family. My dad passed away around the time I was born, so I never met him. By age four, my mom found someone else, and eventually, they had a kid together. My half brother, Ashton.

He left us in a foster home. I was 11 at the time, and Ash was 7." She stated solemnly, staring out ahead of her.
