History:
A Prequel of Sorts | |
1861 | Dionysus 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. |
1861-1865 | Dionysus enjoys a rather uneventful childhood. It is generally loving and he shares a close relationship with most of his family. |
1866 | Morpheus 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. |
1868 | Dionysus causes golden bubbles to appear when his first signs of magic pop up. |
1869 | Hera 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 - 1880 | Dionysus explores his options and in the midst of this begins studies to become an animagus. |
1881 | Dionysus decides that he wants to be a fashion designer and works towards this. |
1882 | Dionysus is drafted to the Hogsmeade Trail but comes out of it with no personal injuries. |
1883 | Dionysus 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. |
1884 | Dionysus 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. |
1886 | Showing 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. |
1887-1889 | Dionysus'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 | |
1889 | The 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. |
1891 | A 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. |
1892 | They 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. |
1894 | They 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. |
