History: 1877 | Ganymede is born to an upper class pureblood couple and is ultimately their youngest child and only boy. Later that year, Nim and his family are part of the exodus of magical families moving to Hogsmeade. |
1880-1886 | Ganymede has always had an uncanny insight and perception of things and it becomes increasingly evident that he is a Seer. Over the next few years, he begins to lose his physical sight but not in a typical way. His Visions are so powerful and chaotic that he Sees past and possible futures rather than the physical world around him. There is nothing much that can be done about it though aids are discovered over time such as his staff that helps him keep grounded in reality. |
1888-89 First Year | Whether he should go to Hogwarts or not is an intense conversation. In the end, he does go and is sorted into Slytherin. It is a major adjustment and not without its issues but he makes do. |
1890 | Nim takes on Arithmancy and Divination as his electives. |
1892-93 Fifth Year | Nim takes his OWLs and scores well enough to go onto his NEWTs. |
1894 | The blizzard messes with his Visions and the numerous timeloops crashing through his Sight make him physically ill. |
1895 | With graduation swiftly approaching, Nim is looking forward to life beyond Hogwarts walls. |
