Joshua Dean Thomas

DOB: September 25, 2001

Appearance

Taking after his father, Dean Thomas, Joshua is blessed with chocolate skin and thick black hair. His eyes are dark and expressive, too, and he has one dimple in his left cheek, just like his mother, Katie Bell. He is rather tall, with a slim, lean build and long limbs. His handsome features make him the target of many of the girls at Hogwarts, along with his best mate, Louis Weasley, however he only has eyes for Daisy Wood.

Personality

Josh is extremely outgoing and likable. He is also very popular at Hogwarts. Although he enjoys mucking about with Louis, he does have a more serious, quiet side that comes from his mother. He is dedicated and hard working when it comes to Quidditch, but when it comes to schoolwork, he is somewhat less motivated.

Early Years

Joshua had quite a difficult childhood very early on in life. He was accidentally concieved and was raised by Katie only for several years. He didn't know his father until Katie finally decided to tell Dean that he had a child. Even after that, tensions were high in the household, for Katie and Dean were not together and didn't get married until almost ten years later. For a long time, Josh often wondered why his parents weren't married, as all of his friends' parents were, and this was difficult for Katie and Dean to explain to him. Although he loved his mother and father dearly, Josh often believed he was an accident and that his parents didn't want him. As he grew up, he realised that his parents loved him very much and that he was lucky to have both of his parents still alive.

Hogwarts

Joshua started his first year of Hogwarts on September 1st, 2013 and was sorted into Gryffindor House. His childhood friend, Daisy Wood, and Louis Weasley were his main companions for the entirety of his schooling life. He was a very talented Quidditch player, like his mother, and joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team in second year as one of the youngest member. However, he was not very bright and struggled with schoolwork quite a lot, so he often asked Daisy for help. When he decided that he wanted to play Quidditch professionally once he finished school, he realised that he needed to improve his school results in order to have the best chance of being selected.

He was a skilled artist and a rabid Manchester United football fan, courtesy of his father.

He was also picked to Captain the English Team in the World Cup, where England got to the semi-finals. As a talented and attractive athlete, Joshua's career was extremely successful and after he retired, he took up a job opportunity as a commentator.

Relationships

Daisy Wood

Josh and Daisy were best friends were many years, as their mother's were extremely close. They are also very close in age, as Katie and Alicia were pregnant around the same time. They both had a great interest in Quidditch, and although they both liked each other, the didn't want to divide the trio (Josh, Daisy and Louis). Eventually, in seventh year, they started a relationship and Daisy went to every single one of Josh's Quidditch games. They married in 2026 and two years later, Daisy gave birth to a daughter; Sophie Megan Thomas. They were happily married for an extremely long time, until Daisy passed away when she was 80 years old.

Louis Weasley

On the first day of Hogwarts, Josh and Louis became best friends, along with Daisy. They both had a knack for getting into trouble together and for flirting with girls, which was one of their favourite pastimes while at Hogwarts. They remained friends for many years and Josh often got Louis free tickets to Puddlemere home games, which Louis - and eventually Charlotte - appreciated very much. Their children became great friends, and Sophie and Christian ended up marrying.

Roxanne Weasley

Probably Josh's biggest fan, Roxanne had a rather large crush on him and had posters of him all over her room. When Louis first introduced her, she was initially extremely shy and starstruck, but she eventually overcame that, and the two of them became good friends. Roxanne was often given tickets to Puddlemere home games as well, and the two of them remained close for many years.

Dean Thomas

At first, Dean and Joshua's relationship was strained, as Dean didn't know he had a son until several years after he was born. Although he tried to be a good father, their relationship didn't start developing until Josh was about six years old, when he finally realised that Dean was actually his father and not just one of Katie's friends, like Oliver and Alicia. Dean was extremely proud of his son and watched every one of his games, as he was a Quidditch reporter. The two of them had a great relationship.

Katie Bell

Josh was a mummy's boy through and through, and loved his mother dearly. The two of them had that special bond that mothers and sons often had, and Josh would do anything to protect her. He was also very determined to please her, and strived very hard to join her former team, Puddlemere United, which he eventually did.

A/N: Another one of my OCs. I love Joshie. He's a sweetheart. My story 'Accident' describes Dean and Katie's relationship, which features Josh, so take a look at it if you like. I know it's a strange pairing, but I ship it for some reason. I think they are cute together :) xx
