Childhood
Eamon is born first to the Irish upper-class clan of the Dempseys. They fashion themselves to be fashionable people. Rich, but interesting! On the pulse of time; the kind of educated upper-class wizards that abhor the stiffness of the pureblooded upper echelon and their wreathed family trees. Culture and fashion and drama, after all, is developing in the midst of the muggles. A dash of muggle blood is seen as a sign of sophistication — but it better not be too much of a dash, that is for sure! Anyways, the Dempseys like to travel the world and they like to read poetry to each other in their sitting room. They are a neat and fairly loving family. Little Eamon is a busy boy. He surely never works, but does he ever find opportunities to stay in action. He loves summering at the coast and he learns sailing and develops a fondness for nature and the outdoors. His first show of magic is growing gills when he goes overboard on a sailing turn at the coast of France at seven years old.

School
Eamon joins Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw. It makes sense, for all his boisterousness and innate yearning, he is also always thinking about how things work, and how they can work best. He is quite judgmental in the way that he does not understand when people don't try to do things right and optimally. School suits him just fine. He has a warm and dynamic energy around him that draws people quickly and deeply into intimate friendships. He is experimental and funny and wants to always say yes. Yes to mischief, yes to life, yes to joy, yes to love. His grades are alright. Eamon has little drive towards becoming a very powerful wizard, he much more wants to make the possibilities of his profound emotionality heard and felt. What else could life really be about?

Wandering Years
After his NEWTs, Eamon goes to gallivant around the world. What a good time he has! He travels wide and far, he makes many great friends and connections, and he needs to worry about very little. His parents generously fund his wandering years. He starts writing. Of course, not all in life is easy. There are countless misadventures and failings. Lost friendships and unsuccessful attempts at romance. He falls unhappily in love but has the sense to leave her be after he recognizes that she would not make him happy, nor could he ever make a person happy who is not inclined towards a joyful spirit. To be truthful, Eamon is quite adept at failing, but he has a knack for failing upwards. He finds out what does not work, and then he is sad about it for a while, and then he turns this melancholy into inspiration. He can laugh about himself and fine-tunes a poignancy of observation that is the basis for his literary success. And literary success he finds. By his late twenties, Eamon Dempsey's poetry is well known and by his mid thirties, it is quite the big deal.

Poet & family man
Back home in London, he visits many balls and salons with the vague inclination to marry, and he meets a debutante called Lowri Sayre. He notices her right away, but he thinks that if it were not for their shared dances, they would have not married. They make a handsome pair and they enjoy each other. Eamon becomes a very good dancer for Lowri, and then he asks her to marry him.
In the years and decades that follow, seven children are born. Eamon still loves his wife and he delights in the children. For the standards of the time, he is quite involved (he is not very involved). If his children exasperate him, he goes on week-long sailing trips or disappears into nature. He laughs about them a lot and he names them after poets, hoping that they will turn out to have storied and wistful lives. His wishes do come true, in a sense, but their antics are quite a bit more than what he bargained for! He is also quite hard to please when it comes to his children's literary ambitions. They have big footsteps to fill, and he prides himself on being a true critic, with no blind spots for his offspring.
