Hannah Bombay takes her work and life very seriously. Her hobby is her work and her work is her hobby. Often described as the witch that dissects dead people, Hannah seems cold and far too interested in the departed to be able communicate well with those souls still roaming the world. However, now she is being forced to deal with the real, living world.
Hannah used to work as a Magical Examiner for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She is extremely dedicated to her work, so much so that many believe she is far more interested in the dead than the living. Now however she can be found at St Mungo's as the Charge Healer of Creature Injuries.
History
In 1984, before the eighth birthday of his son, Graham, Frederick Emilio Bombay left his wife and said son to instead move in with his lover who so happened to be ten years younger than his previous wife, Cindy. He moved from Sussex in the south of England up to the small town of Bewdley in the west midlands. They married and 9 months later, in 1985, Cindy gave birth to the baby Hannah Bombay.
Very quickly Hannah showed signed of being different. While playing with other children she would request they play healer and patient, not mummies and daddies. While playing alone, she would be cutting up toads and insects with a knife smuggled from the kitchen under her mother’s brand new fake nose. Even at a young age, Hannah loved science and facts. Like the fact that her mother wasn’t the most interested in her welfare whilst her father doted on her, buying her gifts and cuddling her on his knee in front of a roaring fireplace. She didn't think twice of the roles her parents played, her mother always just seemed more bothered getting her hair re bleached or her nails manicured. Hannah simply remembered the fact that her mother was very pretty, nothing more.
On closer reflection as the girl grew older, she realised that her mother was simply a lazy bimbo who took joy in spending her daddy’s hard earned money.
At school, the smart, spectacle wearing girl was sorted into Ravenclaw without so much of a pause for thought from the sorting hat. Fortunately for the young girl, she managed to find a couple of friends. These two girls were practically outcasts as well. Joining the small spectacled frizzy haired girl was the daughter of an imprisoned werewolf and muggle-born fellow potions lover.
Hannah was far from popular at school. Her dark fringe fell low down to her eyes where a pair of thick dark glasses absorbed her face. She was small and while she was a girl to get all the highest grades in a large proportion of her classes, Hannah remained unnoticeable. She had no idea how to talk to boys and felt much safer remaining invisible.
After the battle of Hogwarts and the school restarted, Hannah received the biggest shock of her life. The new herbology professor had the same surname as her. At a point when the girl was starting to become more noticeable to her peers, less of an ugly duckling and more of a swan with a hair cut and having bribed her dad into allowing her contacts, she was starting to come out of her shell, boys realising she was in fact attractive. Just quiet and a little strange. Therefore, this change was definitely not helped when the school’s new herbology professor arrived. A Professor Bombay. Hannah denied any knowledge of this young greasy haired man because she had no knowledge of him. However, his interest had also been sparked and when he called her into his office after a class, it turned out they did in fact share a father and neither had known a thing about each other. Hannah tried to ignore this fact as she carried on with school, still continuing to deny any relation to her peers as they poked fun at her.
Miss Bombay managed to finish school with Os in Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmacy and Charms. With these grades, she went straight into training to become a healer. Being a Healer, however, didn't mesh well with Hannah’s personality. She didn’t communicate well with patients and instead, after a stint of working in the hospital's morgue, she discovered this was were she’d rather be.
Therefore she took a position with the ministry to train under a long standing Forensic ME for two years before his retirement. Now is her first month after his retirement, having taken on the job.
However, the Ministry of Magic recently began facing many volatile issues and despite the need for more staff in the department of Law Enforcement, Bombay’s importance has been swept by the wayside and instead of continuing to keep her on full time at the usual salary, the department decided to place their limited funds elsewhere. Therefore Hannah was forced to take on an alternative position at St. Mungo's Hospital while the department draft her in, occasionally, in a consultancy role when and where required.
Hannah’s training and previous work with the hospital determined this to be the best place to move to. She is willing to accept this challenge if slightly reluctant about the people she will be dealing with. The perfectly presented woman is slightly aware of the shock it will be returning to such an environment but the extremity of such a change hasn't necessarily been fully realised in her mind.
