February, 1863 | Felicity is born the sixth child to Gideon and Harriet Prewett, and the third daughter. A quiet infant, she caused little trouble for her parents and nurses.
|
July, 1868 | Gideon initially alludes capture by a group of aurors, intent on questioning him about his alleged practice of dark magic. By month’s end, however, he is killed, leaving his family aghast. It is this incident that forms the basis for Felicity's enduring distrust of law enforcement.
|
1874 - 1875 | Felicity begins her schooling at Hogwarts, where she joins her sister Florence in Hufflepuff. They are joined a year later by their brother Frederick.
|
1881 | Felicity completes her schooling at Hogwarts and comes out into society. By the end of the summer, she is able to begin her training as a healer, eschewing the traditional trappings of society. Where her schedule allows, she does still attend functions, ostensibly to please her mother although privately, she enjoys them as well.
|
1882 | In February, Felicity begins being courted by Mr. James Riley (...who was previously attached), her senior at the hospital. In the summer, the Ministry's expedition calls many hands to the road—some of them female. The Prewetts are particularly hard-hit, and Fee finds herself on an adventure she never wanted. Whilst on the expedition, Fee suffers an attack by a dragon and spends more time than she would like recovering in hospital. James returns from his own adventures in August, proposing to Felicity in the process. The two become engaged and marry in October.
|
1883 | A mixed bag, as years go. February saw the death of Fitzroy’s new bride, and May the death of Faustus’ wife. It also saw several new additions: Mezereon to Faustus, little Chloe to Florence, and baby Gideon to Felicity. By the summer’s end, however, Felicity was committed into the Ivana Memorial Asylum, after post-natal depression led her to attempt infanticide.
|
1884 | Felicity returns home in the new year, though it is some time before things with her family, particular James, can be considered any measure of normal again. Fortunately, Fitz is arrested (though later released), taking some of the heat off of her. It is a blessing, she supposes, that he is so foolish.
|
1885 | Baby Grace is born in March. While she is not quite where she might hope to be, her melancholy is not nearly so severe as it was with Gideon.
|
1886 - 1890 | A tragic carriage accident leaves both Felicity and Florence widows. Truly bereft, Fee throws herself into her job and her children, remaining in half-mourning far longer than necessary. Surprising no one, it is her mother who eventually hauls her back into full colours.
|
1891 | Fitzroy goes on a cruise and comes back married—and Felicity does not need three guesses to ascertain why, although he spares her the lurid details.
|
1894 | Felicity can scarcely believe that Gideon is old enough to go off to Hogwarts. It is a momentous occasion, one that fills her with nerves that the mothers in her acquaintance assure her are entirely natural. Giddy, too, seems a bit out of sorts about the whole thing—but she does not wish to pry, as young lads "on the cusp of manhood", as her brother once put it, don't like to talk about thier feelings with their mothers. Besides, he'll have cousins and extended family with him. He'll be fine, she is sure.
