OCCUPATIONAL HISTORY: Atrus graduated Hogwarts in 1983. There was no question that once his brother Cassius started at St. Mungos that Atrus would follow in his footsteps. He’d been a hospital wing assistant in school and very much enjoyed it, and so in 1983 upon his graduation from Hogwarts he started healer training.

He was in healer training which was a combination of residency and education from 1983 to 1989, and then was a full fledged healer being sent around from specialty to specialty for 3 years, from 1989 to 1991, and then in 1991 he chose his specialty in the Creature Induced Injuries Wing until 1997. In 1997, right before the war he became the Head of the Creature Induced Injuries Department, because the former head of department, Hippocrates Smethwyck was one of the first killed in the war (right around the time Fortescue, the ice cream man, was killed as well) when Voldemort sent Nagini to kill him in revenge for healing Arthur Weasley in 1995.

POLITICAL AFFILIATION AND OPINIONS:   Atrus’ views align very very very firmly with the Fellowship Party, and he is incredibly passionate and outspoken about these views. He firmly believes that the muggles need all the help they can get, and that magic would really benefit the muggle community. He believes that the muggles have reached a point where they have almost surpassed magic, and they would feel comfortable viewing it as simply another form of the technology that they have. He is a big fan of the idea that some sort of grand gesture is needed to show that magical society comes in peace, and that they are there to help the muggles. He has a secret dream of one day running a magical/muggle free clinic with his older brother. Atrus is the type of person who will be very open, passionate, and outspoken about his political views… More often than not it gets him into trouble.

EARLY CHILDHOOD: Atrus was born as the second son to Lucille (Bletchley) Warrington and Othello Warrington, and has an older brother, Cassius Warrington. Like his brother, Atrus is named for his Grandfather, Atrus Bletchley. The pair were raised by parents who could not be more different, Lucille was a vile woman, who viewed her children as a means to an end to advance her own reputation (which was already strong as her husband had a seat on Wizengamot and a member of the Department of Mysteries.) Lucille Warrington was a wildly manipulative woman who would do anything to make her children do what she wanted them to.

Othello on the other hand was a very caring father, who encouraged his children to follow their dreams, and do right by themselves. His only hope for his boys was that they do good. Atrus very much adored his father and loathed his mother. Most of all though, in his childhood Atrus was essentially his brother’s shadow.

Atrus’ life got markedly different when Cassius went off to school, without his brother around, the days with his father got even better, though they were fewer, as it was around this time that he received more and more work at the Ministry. Conversely, when Cassius went to Hogwarts days with Lucille got even worse, his chores doubled, as he had to pick up Cassius’ slack, he was forced to be even more of an adult, and forced to entertain Lucille. It was around this time that she forced Atrus to learn to play the piano, he was forced to play daily until the bones in his fingers hurt, and his fingers began to bleed (which he was always punished for, as the blood would ruin the ivory of the keys). Atrus prayed for the days he would be able to go to Hogwarts, and finally free himself from his mother’s rein of terror. It was also during this time that Lucille convinced Atrus that Cassius hated him, and wanted nothing to do with him, and had told her as much in letters, which she showed him (these letters were forgeries of course, but she never gave Atrus the letters his brother had actually set him from school.)

When Cassius came home from Hogwarts Atrus desparately wanted to fix their relationship, but he gave his brother space, since he didn’t want to deal another Lucille.

ADOLESCENCE: Upon Atrus’ acceptance into Hogwarts he truly felt he would be free from his mother, though he would miss his father very much. Mostly though he was very excited to try to fix his relationship with his brother that his mother convinced him was ruined.

Things changed though when the sorting hat gave him an option join either his family’s house of Slytherin, or to forge his own path in Ravenclaw. Atrus was not a hatstall, as the hat didn’t need the full five minutes, as the hat debated with itself Atrus told the hat that if he was put in Ravenclaw it would give him the chance to find out who he was independent of his family. Also that perhaps it meant that his mother would not want anything to do with him, which was all Atrus wanted in life. Atrus chose to go into Ravenclaw, and was promptly sent a howler by his mother, and a letter from his father. The howler suggested that both parents were disappointed with him, and that they’d better not see him at Christmas. The letter said that it was only his mother who was angry, and that Othello was very happy for Atrus, and hoped he gained a lot from being in Ravenclaw.

Atrus avoided Cassius for several months his first year, because he was convinced that Cassius would side with his mother, and hate him as much as Lucille did because she was such a manipulative piece of garbage. He was convinced that Cassius hated him for being sorted into Ravenclaw, and dishonoring the family tradition. One day at lunch during his first year Cassius’ friends came over to the Ravenclaw table to see Atrus and let him know how hurt Cassius was that he’d never responded to his letters, and how he’d told them how curious he was about how Atrus was doing in Ravenclaw after the howler.

Atrus told them everything that his mother had said, and they reunited the brothers, who talked things out and realized how abusive their mother truly was, and they rekindled their relationship, stronger than ever before to Lucille’s immense disdain.

Holidays were hard though, as Atrus listened to Lucille and stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas and Easter breaks, only returning home for the summer when he was required to leave the school, and spending as little time as possible at home.

In his third year Atrus received an Owl from Othello that Lucille had left him. He’d finally told her off, saying that she was literally driving the boys away from them, and she tried to blame him, when he wouldn’t stand for that she walked out. Later that year they received a wedding invitation for ‘longtime couple’ Lucille Bletchley and American Auror James Turner’s wedding in Massachusettes. Atrus refused to attend, and never found out what happened to his mother from there.

From Atrus’ fourth year onward he worked in the hospital wing as a student assistant, and healing was something he realized he had a knack for.

The rest of Atrus’ time at Hogwarts was uneventful indeed, as Hogwarts was, by and large, shielded from the first wizarding war.

INVOLVEMENT IN THE RECENT WAR:  Atrus by and large was not very involved in the second war, except that he’d recently been promoted to Chief of Creature Induced Injuries as the former chief had been found dead under mysterious circumstances. He did not receive as extensive training as the other department heads because it was his successor who went through that training. Atrus was sort of just thrown in and had to learn by doing.

During the war Atrus was very rarely at home once he’d realized that the werewolves were working with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named his job got simultaneously easier (because he had an idea of why he was getting an influx of patients), and more difficult because of said influx of patients.

After Voldemort was vanquished Madam Pomfrey sent an Owl to Atrus asking whether he would come back to Hogwarts to help treat those students too injured to be transported which he did happily.

Once he left Hogwarts Atrus and Madam Pomfrey brought the stabilized students to the hospital, and he truly worked around the clock to assist the injured, and counciled those who’d received knew werewolf bites. Luckily several years earlier theyd discovered the antidote to Voldemort’s Snake’s Venom, so any bites were easily treated, though still had extensive recovery time.

Because of all the work Atrus had done with Dementor related injuries throughout the years, when all of the battle related injuries were healed Atrus was put in charge of verifying the identities of representatives from Azkaban and releasing the healed prisoners into their care.
