BIOGRAPHY:
During the summer of 1993, when Harry Potter stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for a couple of weeks, Florean gave Harry free ice cream sundaes every half hour and helped him complete his History of Magic homework on the medieval witch-burnings which may mean that he did well in his History of Magic classes.
In 1996, Florean was forcibly dragged away by Death Eaters, leaving his ice cream parlour a mess. Voldemort had sought information on the Elder Wand and the lost diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw, and so captured and tortured Fortescue.
The reason for his kidnapping did not become public knowledge; Bill Weasley speculated that he might have done something to provoke the anger of the Death Eaters.
Harry Potter: "Florean used to give me free ice creams. What's happened to him?" Bill Weasley: "Dragged off, by the look of his place." — Harry asking Bill about Florean's disappearance
