Character History: Rufus never got on with his sister Laura. She was abraisive, power hungry and had a thirst for violence that could not be sated anywhere else.
He meanwhile, was the opposite of her in every way.
Rufus did not blame his parents for the way she turned out. They had had a fairly normal upbringing in rural Scotland and had treated all three of their children the same. But ever since she was young she had a thing for picking on Rufus. One of his earliest memories is her forcing him onto a broom when he was five years old and telling him it would only rise a foot above the garden grass when in fact, in sent him soaring into the sky and he had to be retrieved by his father. He never cared for heights much after that.
Eventually, Laura was sent to Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. In her absence, Rufus began reading heavily. First it was simple Muggle fiction. Then Wizarding Fiction. All stories about great heroes who braved great dangers and fought off powerful enemies. By the time he started at Hogwarts this would have evolved into reading advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts books.
Eventually he did go to Hogwarts. He was worried that his sister would aggrovate him any chance she got. Fortunately she never spoke to him to acknowledged his existence at all. At least whilst at Hogwarts.
But Rufus was sorted into Gryffindor. Several years later his younger sister joined as well. His Hogwarts days went well, he was never pur forward for a Prefect, let alone Head Boy as he was often smoking behind the greenhouses. Still, he was a bright kid with a passion for Defense Against the Dark Arts. If he had been in school while Harry Potter had set up his Defense Against the Dart Arts group he would have joined in an instant, unfortunately, he left the year before.
After Hogwarts, Rufus joined the Ministry to become an Auror. His training was interrupted however with the takeover by You-Know-Who. He had expressed pro muggle leanings in his training previously so he knew he would have become an easy target. He decided to flee.
When his sister left Hogwarts, she packed her bags and was not seen again. It came as no surprise to Rufus to learn that she went and pleged her loyaly to You-Know-Who a soon as she could. Never a Death Eater, he doubted You-Know-Who would let her get that deep, but a strong arm he could throw? Absolutely.
Rufus found himself struggling to survive in the wilds for a year. Food was low and his morale struggled to rise at all. Then one evening while camping out in Wales, Laura arrived. They spoke for a brief moment before duelling. Though somewhat evenally matched, Laura got the upperhand. Maybe it was a brief moment of weakness but she didn't kill him. Then again, Rufus was in a bad enough position that he would probably die from his injuries.
It took him a great deal of strength to pull himself up but he managed to apparate to the place he knew Laura would be going to next. Home.
The house was destroyed when he arrived. His mother and fathers charred remains still sat around the dinner table.
Luckily a friend rescued him from the nightmare and several days later news came to them that You-Know-Who had been defeated by Harry Potter in Hogwarts.
Several more days later, came the report that Laura had been captured. She was tried and sentanced to life in Azkaban.
With his sister behind bars and the world returning to some sense of normality, Rufus finished off his training as an Auror and entered the Ministry properly. His younger sister, eventually graduated from Hogwarts and started playing Quidditch, eventually becoming a referee.
Rufus took five years abroad working in Russia and South Korea. When he returned he was offered the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, which he gladly took. Later becoming Head of Gryffindor.
