| 1862 | Julius is the first child—and heir—born to Argus and Media Scrimgeour. He is appropriately doted upon.
|
| 1864 | His first act of magic comes just after his second birthday, summoning an acorn to himself to get a closer look. His father shows great pleasure with this development, which in turn thrills Julius, who idolizes the man.
|
| 1868 | Julius' mother delivers twin girls, Annabelle and Araminta. They're babies, and so of little consequence to their brother...
|
| 1869 | ...Until Annabelle is kidnapped, at any rate. He recognizes, of course, the impact this has on his family, but also fills him with a sense of indignation and betrayal: how dare someone defile his family in such a fashion?! He grows quite protective of Araminta as a result of this.
|
| 1873 | Julius departs for Hogwarts. He works hard, particularly in his practical classes, with an aim of becoming an auror as his father had.
|
| 1875 | In his third year, Julius adds Arithmancy and Care of Magical Creatures to his repertoire of classes.
|
| 1877 | It is with dismay that Julius receives his Hogwarts letter and discovers that it does not include a prefect's badge, and he finds himself rather jealous of Eloise Pendergast for securing her own. He finds himself unable to remain anything less than happy in her presence, though, and the friendship that had sprouted since their early years at Hogwarts begins to veer in a decidedly different direction. He also finds a spot on the house quidditch team as a beater.
|
| 1880 | Julius concludes his education and has no trouble finding a place in the Ministry's Auror Training Program. His early months in the program, though, see him rather distracted, as Annabelle seemingly returns from the dead, having been raised by muggles. Though much of his family seems uncertain about the "new" addition to their household, Julius embraces his lost sister gladly. This autumn also marks the announcement that he had spent some years dreading: Eloise was to be married to someone else. The two conspire to elope in the new year, but ultimately, each put duty to their family above personal happiness.
|
| 1883 | Julius is now a fully-fledged auror.
|
| 1886 | Having realized what a toll the work of an auror can take (and did indeed take on his father), Julius applies for, and is accepted into, the Investigation department.
|
| 1887 - 1888 | Julius is a fully-fledged investigator now, just in time for the shit to truly hit the fan within his family. Ultimately, his father is arrested and charged for physically abusing his sister, who had, for some time, been rebelling—though he could not and would not condone his father's reaction, even Julius condemns her actions which led to it. His father dies in Azkaban. With all that has happened, Julius resigns his post, moving into the Portkey Office for something lower-key.
|
| 1889 | He remains close with Araminta and exchanges letters with Eloise, though the relations with his childhood friends is strained and he has not kept in contact with Anabelle beyond ensuring she isn't dead. The summer sees he and his colleagues placed under great scrutiny after three society ladies go missing.
|
| 1890 | Utterly fed up with his life choices, Julius ditches the Portkey Office and gets back to doing the job he actually likes. With two of her siblings set to marry, Eloise returns to Britain for the summer. This marks the first time they have seen one another face to face since her mother's funeral. It is more difficult than he expected, and a small part of him is actually glad when she returns to America. |
