History:
Abraham originated from Canada.They weren't your typical pureblood who believed that they were superior. His mother was a librarian and his father was a gardener during the weekend and a kindergarten teacher during the week. Which was one reason why they didn't have many friends with any other pureblood family with very few exception. One of the most important value that his parent were insisting on passing on their children were that every living thing were equal. Abraham was a very curious boy and always wanted to know more. Anytime he was able to learn something new, he would jump on the occasion.
Just a year prior to be old enough to go to school, both his parents were concerned over the fact that he and his twin brother (Chester) had never shown any sign of magic until then. The concerned weren't over the fact that he might be a squib but over the fact of how well they couldn't handle this situation. They openly talk with him about this subject. Not shying away from the this one bit, Abraham had explain to them that he didn't see the necessity of using magic so far. He was absolutely able to use it but why wasting something when he didn't require it. For Abraham since his brother weren't able to used it, he wasn't to either. The day after this little chat was the day the famous Hogwarts letter came in. Not sure if it would be best to send him that far away, his first year was at the local wizard school in Canada but the curiosity of Abraham toward Hogwarts was growing so much that the year after he was sent to Hogwarts. Even if that meant to be away of those who he loved very much.
There at Hogwarts was were he truly found out his love for everything earthy. He mentor wasn't a teacher but the groundskeeper. Following the man as much as he could after his classes, Abraham was always eager to see more to learn more.
The summer of is fifteen birthday was when he first ask he's father to work with him. He wanted to do something constructive during the summer and at the same time he would be able to learn a bit more about plants.
Along with going to Hogwarts, Abraham was also following philosophy lesson. Philosopher like Descartes or Aristotle was intriguing. Not putting aside is love for nature, at the age of twenty one, he decided to applied to a private school in order to become a part-time teacher. But instead he was proposed a full-time job. The direction had noticed how much confortable he was in front of an audience and he's eased to express himself. Loving his job very much this was where he meet his future wife, Rosa. During his last year he started to write for The Practical Potioneer. One of his favorite newspaper. This was giving him opportunity to used he's skill about plants. Been help by his wife, who was a rather gift potioneer. She had taught him everything she knew until a fatal accident. Mixing the wrong ingredient together the worst happen. Nothing the healers at St-Mungos could have done to reverse it. It was then that Abraham made a promess to keep on learning about potion making.
Only few weeks after the incident, he received an owl from The Pratical Potioneer. A job was opening up as editor in Chef. Not sure if he wanted that job or keep the one he already have, Abraham took a leap of faith. He liked change too much to resist this offer. Along with working at the newspaper, he was also able to travel. Helping others was really fulfilling himself.
At the age of sixty six, Abraham decided it was time for him to retired. Moving down to Hawaii seems to be the best thing. There he open up an animal center. Not a year had gone by that he didn't stop learning more about the world of potioneer. No matter how busy he was at the new center. Getting help from the local who were more than happy to help him, Abraham was happy so far with his life. Nothing could have predict that he would change since life seems good.
After hearing about an incident in Diagon Alley, he an opportunity to reinstore Slug and Jiggers Apothecary to his former glory, the man didn't hesitate. It didn't took him long to buy the shop. What better way to keep the promess he had made to his wife all those years ago.
