History:
A Prequel of Sorts
1861Dionysus is the last born to a comfortable middle class couple. Like his siblings before him, he is given the name of a Greek god his mother was reading about at the time. Also as with his siblings before, she gives little thought on what said God was known for when giving her offspring their name.
1861-1865Dionysus enjoys a rather uneventful childhood. It is generally loving and he shares a close relationship with most of his family.
1866Morpheus goes off to Hogwarts. His presence is missed by Dionysus. However, he does find that he does not mind his sisters games all too much.
1868Dionysus causes golden bubbles to appear when his first signs of magic pop up.
1869Hera goes off to Hogwarts. Dionysus is eager for it to be his turn. He is lonely without his siblings around.
Where a Promise began
1872 - 1873
First Year
Dionysus goes off to Hogwarts where he is sorted into Slytherin. He is quick to make friends and is highly sociable.
1874 - 1875
Third Year
His third year consists of new classes in the form of Arithmancy and Divination. Admittedly chosen because he had no interest in most of the other electives and he thought they would be easy.
1875 - 1876
Fourth Year
Dionysus comes to the realization that he holds attractions to other boys but feels nothing for girls. He buries this deep inside of himself and speaks of it to no one.
1876 - 1877
Fifth Year
Dionysus is named prefect which isn't altogether surprising. He had always been sociable with his classmates and did his best to be helpful to them.
1877 - 1878
Sixth Year
It is in his sixth year when he finally tells someone else of his attractions though not of his own accord. A Peeves prank saw him trapped with a fourth year girl and Peeves informs them they can only get free if they each share a true deep secret with one another about themselves.

More mundane 'secrets' do not work so Dionysus divulges that he is only attracted to other boys, that he is homosexual. The girl then surprises him with her own secret: she is the same but with girls. A lifelong bond is born as they begin what grows to become a deep friendship.
1878 - 1879
Seventh Year
Dionysus graduates. It is the night before the Coming Out Ball that the two friends make a promise. They make a promise to one another that when they are older and the young woman is a spinster, they will do the whole courtship to marriage thing and support one another in their later years.
Main Character Energy
1879 - 1880Dionysus explores his options and in the midst of this begins studies to become an animagus.
1881Dionysus decides that he wants to be a fashion designer and works towards this.
1882Dionysus is drafted to the Hogsmeade Trail but comes out of it with no personal injuries.
1883Dionysus completes his animagus studies when he successfully transforms into a fox. He is insanely proud of his accomplishment and registers with the Ministry despite not really wanting to.
1884Dionysus and his family come out of the Laughing Plague unscathed, largely due to staying isolated in Ireland. Dionysus uses this time to work on many designs and moves forward with the blossomings of a fashion house.
1886Showing off some of his works at the World Wizarding Fair sees a boom in his sales and popularity. By the end of the year, he has a fully operational fashion house built in Hogsmeade with employees.
1887-1889Dionysus's success only grows despite everything else going on around him. However with his success comes many Mama's trying to saddle him with a wife. He has also developed connections to other men like him as well as other women like him. His life feels very full at this point, if anyone were to ask him.
The Promise Fulfillment Begins
1889The time has come, his best friend is twenty six and will soon be branded a spinster. The pair get a kick out of the small hoopla his asking her father for permission to court causes. There are all sorts of rumors given they were widely known to be good friends despite their opposite genders. They begin courting.
1891A friend of his that went through a lot of scandal after being exposed for being a gay man comes to him with a proposal. One Dionysus agrees to. And thus Dionyus's fashion house hosts a secret, hidden entry to the secret establishment of one Victory King.
1892They had been courting for three years which is a very uncommonly heard of length for courtship. So they decide they better get engaged now and do so.
1894They had been engaged for two years now and Dionysus feels like their mutual families might implode if they don't seal the deal soon. So the pair begin wedding planning though have not yet set a date.
