History:

• 1826 — Huxley is born the second child to Frederick and Josephine. His mother's natal name becomes his name, as Josephine was always quite attached to it.
  
  1827 - 1837 — From a young age, Huxley shows that he has far too many aspirations for himself. He thinks that he can be the best at anything and doesn’t accept defeat. While these could be good qualities in a lesser extent, Huxley tends to go to extremes.
  
  1838 — Huxley goes to Hogwarts where he is sorted into Slytherin.
  
  1842 — Huxley is very angry and disappointed to find out that he has passed out to the position of the Slytherin male prefect to a Gerbold Ollivander. He considers himself far better than some wandmaker's son and rather begrudgingly decides to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team instead. When he doesn't make the team (and the position goes to a student two years younger than him, on top of that!) Huxley kicks a classmate's cat while it was passing by and gets all his body scratched. He develops a dislike for cats.
  
  1845 — Huxley graduates from Hogwarts with good enough grades and joins the Department of Magical Education.
  
  1851 — Huxley is promoted to the position of the Assistant Head after the previous one retires and there is noone else especially fitting. Although he's in reality the only one who could really fit, Huxley sees this promotion as a proof of his worth.
  
  1854 — The previous Head retires, so Huxley is promoted to that position. He feels very proud of himself.
  
  1857 — Benjamin Potter approaches him with a proposition. If he marries his widowed daughter, Perpetua Creighton and takes care of her and her two sons, he shall receive the Potter name and Benjamin's inheritance once he passes away. Although Perpetua is two years older than him, Huxley agrees, assuming that the old man would kick the bucket pretty soon and that he'd become richer than he ever hoped to be.
  
  1858 — Perpetua presents him with their first child, Isabella. Although he is rather disappointed with Bella's gender at first, he quickly grows fond of her for she is a pretty baby.
  
  1860 — Another girl, Cordelia, joins the family.
  
  1862 — Huxley had a good feeling that this one would be a boy, but nope, another girl. They name her Desdemona.
  
  1864 — His step-son Gregory graduates and find a position at the Ministry.
  
  1866 — Nope, no sons for Huxley yet. He is quite discouraged with the number of dowries he has to provide and as he doubts that he'll ever get a son, he decides that his daughters shall have two seasons to find a husband. If they fail to do so, then they shall take up a job.
  
  1868 — Benji graduates and becomes a Spell Damage Intern.
  
  1869 — Huxley is ecstatic to learn that Perpetua has finally given him a son, Florizel. In September, Bella departs to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.
  
  1871 — Cordelia goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff. Both Gregory and Benji move out.
  
  1873 — Desdemona joins Bella in Gryffindor.
  
  1876 — Bella graduates and by the end of the year is Mrs. Isabella Quirell.
  
  1877 — Isabella has her first child, Cornelius. Cressida goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Ravenclaw.
  
  1878 — Cordelia graduates and has a rather unimpressive season. She decides to follow her passion and becomes a hospital intern.
  
  1879 — Bella has a second son, Sebastian.
  
  1880 — Desdemona graduates and has a rather unsuccessful season. Florizel goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.
  
  1881 — Bad luck strikes Isabella, when her husband dies and after he wrongly assumes her an adulteress leaves all his belongings and the care of their two children to his cousin, Charles Porter (WHO'S ALSO PLAYED BY ME WOO). Charles also takes an Unbreakable Vow to never willingly allow the two children anywhere close to their mother. Huxley, who always had a soft spot for Isabella, takes her in and treats her with surprising for himself softness. Desdemona joins the Holyhead Harpies. Huxley leaves the Department of Magical Education in order to join the Wizarding Examination Authority instead.
  
  1883 — Cordelia announces that she is engaged to that cad Charles Porter. Although Huxley tries to be civil with the man, he is not particularly fond of him and shares Isabella’s dislike for him. Benji becomes Hogwarts' Earth Magic professor.
  
  Oh, and the other Benjamin has still not bitten the dust. Boo.
  

Personality: Huxley thinks he's the best.
