1864: Richard shows his first signs of magic. The day is much celebrated within the family.
1869-1870: A late birthday means that Richard starts his time at Hogwarts a couple of weeks shy of his twelfth birthday. He is promptly sorted into Hufflepuff. In September of 1870, Rowena joins Richard at Hogwarts.

1875-1876: Richard graduates from Hogwarts and despite the fact that he had no real need for a job, he begins an internship in St. Mungos within the Magical Bugs department.
1877: Richard graduates from his internship and becomes a full healer. When Hogsmeade is opened, he opts to stay on at St. Mungos.
1879: Rowena secures a courtship and is soon wed to her beau and leaves the family home. Richard is quite happy for her but also a little lonesome with one less family member puttering about the household.
1880: Scarcely a year after Rowena was wed, Lenora joins the world of wedded people by marrying her own beau.
1883: During a visit to Hogsmeade, Richard unknowingly ingests some of the amortentia laced tea. He becomes quite flirtatious with a maid and even manages to steal a kiss. When he comes to his senses, Richard is quite embarrassed by the whole thing and avoids visiting Hogsmeade for some time. He also never drinks tea for quite the long while.
1884: Richard is promoted to Assistant Head of the Magical Bugs department.
1886: Now that he is 28 and quite wealthy within his own right along with being a heir, Richard has entertained ideas of finding a suitable bride.
