With the capture of Verandi Farley and several high-ranking Trossach members, the British wizarding world has finally caught a break. The rate of rogue werewolf attacks have started dropping at a steady rate and, hopefully, things will stay that way. The Ministry is starting to loosen some restrictions, like not arresting werewolves standing on the street for loitering, however there’s still an obvious power imbalance between wizardfolk and werewolves.
The Cotswolds pack are continuing to advocate for the rights of werewolves and petitioning to change the legislation that has been set in motion by the current Minister for Magic, whilst the remaining Trossachs members are trying to stay out of the spotlight and keep a low profile… for now.
Whilst the British wizarding world seems to have calmed down, the same cannot be said for over in Northern Europe where a rebellion of magical creatures has risen. The state of things has gotten so bad that the European Ministry has enacted protocols to protect those under eighteen whilst their adult witches and wizards fight to keep control of their countries.
Students from Durmstrang have been sent to Hogwarts to keep them safe and those not old enough to attend school have been sent to live with relatives or designated British Ministry officials outside of Europe for the time being.
Will the low rates of werewolf attacks in Britain continue? How long will Durmstrang students stay at Hogwarts? Will the creatures usurp the wizardfolk in Northern Europe? Only time will tell.
SEPTEMBER 2019 It's been a very long, eventful summer in the wizarding world. A baby was stolen, several high ranking Trossach members were imprisoned, and werewolf attacks have drastically dropped as a result. What will happen now school has returned?
MAY 2019 An attempt to capture the beta of the Trossachs has been launched. Were the Aurors successful in their mission? Go read more here!
Negative Traits: bland (he believes of the triplets, he's the one that missed out on a 'personality'), clumsy (he's growing into his tall and lanky legs like a newborn giraffe), conformist, dependent (he'd be lost without the girls), some have called him foolish but for the most part it's just naïvety, submissive,
Quirks and Habits: - Ambidexterity; Joshua can easily use both his left and right hand for all tasks. He uses a pen, instead of a quill and ink, during class so that he can swap easily between hands. After his first year at school with a quill and ink, his parents were mortified by the fact that his left sleeve looked like a disaster zone with all the rubbed off ink. - Mechanical mind; Joshua has been building things from a very young age and has great spacial awareness as well as an inventive mind. This is the boy that will reinvent the wheel. - Leaves a room last; after every class, Josh waits until he's the last one to leave (other than the teacher) so he can push all the chairs back in for the next class. Don't ask why. - Strong accent; Joshua has a pretty strong Welsh accent which a lot of the kids at school seem to have difficulty with. Over the past five years, he's tried to standardise his accent but it's always a lot stronger after he's been home for Christmas, Easter or Summer break.
Likes: Grandma's stories, beef stew, his sisters and family, loves muggle aeroplanes and all things that fly, is obsessed with making his own line of broomsticks for a living, Quidditch (but only as the players have all the latest greatest brooms and not for the actual sport itself), innovation
Dislikes: shovelling mooncalf dung, chocolate, people who believe in "if it's not broke, don't fix it", muggle-haters, when people make fun of the triplets for how their parents make a living
Boggart: himself as a piece of cardboard; 2 dimensional and unloveable.
Mirror of Erised: An advert for the best broomsticks worldwide; Josh's very own invention.
Patronus: a hummingbird
history
Born to the sister of the famous "Dai" Llewellyn, Joshua grew up on the humble Llewellyn farm in Wales. From a young age, the triplets grew up assisting with collecting mooncalf dung. It wasn't an activity that Josh took to naturally - in fact he's spent the last decade at least trying to come up with easier ways to do it.
One particular time, Josh attached a kind of bag to the animal's bottoms so that the poop would collect in it and he wouldn't have to shovel all night long. Unfortunately it got all tangled and mattered in the fur and Josh had to spend the rest of his next day cleaning the mooncalves.
Another time the youngster came prepared to do the shovelling work... with a carefully rigged "automatic" shovel and wheelbarrow. It seemed to work great for the first minute or two, but then it hit a particularly sloppy poop which went flying through the air and... landed smack in Granny's face. Joshua ran for the hills that night but that did not prevent him from three days of scrubbing every floor in the farm house as punishment.
When he started at Hogwarts, the triplets were the subject of a decent amount of bullying because ... well, shouldn't they all be Quidditch stars? It was plainly obvious to everyone that Josh would never follow in his famous uncle's footsteps after the first flying lesson. This led to the fellow students finding out that the triplets were from the shit-shovelling branch of the family and it's been a particular favourite for people to pick on ever since.
With all three triplets in Hufflepuff, Josh couldn't be happier. He didn't realise that he wouldn't be able to get into the girl's dorm rooms - in fact he attempted many times to trick the magical slide. Once, he even stole his sister's clothes and drank a hair growing potion because that'd make him at least look like a girl. Suffice to say, it didn't work. From then on, Josh would have sleepovers with the girls in his dorm room much to Gabriel Avery's dislike.
Somewhere not too distant from where Aiden stood basking in the sun-shiny grin on Grace’s face, a dickthissel whistle played upon the morning breeze. Aiden was too busy trying not to laugh as Grace stumbled over her compliment to consider if that meant his twin really had gone. ”Grace, were you by any chance accidentally trying to compliment my culo?” his ocean eyes gestured down to his side to assist the girl in understanding before he repeated, in English, ”I mean, I think you have a nice bottom too but it’s a bit early in the morning to be talking about such things.” Yes, because bottom talk was far more suitable over dinner, Aiden? Really?
The moment of hesitation from Grace when he offered out his hand almost caused knots to form in his intestines. Maybe ... Merlin, was Grace like his sister and her... fidanzata ... and it just took the kissing game and that Gryffindor lesbian with the magic mouth to turn her too? But then Grace’s hand fell into his and his ringed fingers closed gently around them. ”Grazie a te for coming, Grace. It’s in ... “ I’d like to kiss you more kind of way he finished his sentence in his head as he swallowed and tugged briefly at the collar of his shirt, ”... a personal, let’s chat without worrying about duties or anything... kind of way.” You could have just said ‘date’, you stronzo, Alana’s voice echoed in his mind because Merlin he was making things awkward.
His hand felt the squeeze of hers and Aiden’s lips pulled into a small smile as he listened to her musings about eating breakfast. ”Well good, hopefully you’ll enjoy what the elves packed. Apparently they had a good idea about what you might like,” Aiden confided; he couldn’t take credit for the contents of the basket. He had many strengths but catering was not one of them. ”I... in a way I like...?” Aiden chuckled because yep. That was weird. ”I think that as it is a breakfast picnic, I won’t expect you to know how to use all three forks in the correct sequence. That’s for next time.” He gave her hand a reciprocal squeeze and even a slightly playful wink.
”Does it help to know I’m nervous too?” Aiden asked as he held out his other hand as if to usher her to a seat on the blanket. ”I enjoyed parts of the game,” Aiden said cautiously. Was this outing because of the game? Mmm probably. ”How about you?”
