HISTORY
Born in the countryside, in a suburb to Edinburgh, Scotland Joshua is the second child of purebloods Colin and Quornelia Wishart. He grew up together with his twin-brother Tyler in a normal and typical magical household. His parents were and still are deep creature lovers and history nerds. From a young age his parents tried to teach him and Tyler to love creatures and history facts just as much as them. For Tyler that was no problem, he was a natural with both creatures and learning to recite off history facts by heart. Joshua was the exact opposite. He felt akward and wrong around creatures and history fact’s just made his head spin and he often lost his temper when he couldn’t remember the dates of an important event in history or what a person was famous for. The area which Joshua shined in was around plants which was an aptitude that neither of his parents really knew who had inherited it from because they made plants die rather than flourish. His parents were proud though that he was a ‘plant whisperer’.
Joshua’s childhood zoomed by alongside his twinbrother with him being interested in plants, herbs and fungi while he was kept being into creatures. To visiting relatives or friends the Wishart’s household with lots of different creatures and plants was quite a peculiar sight. Around the same time as his Hogwart’s letter arrived his mother announced that Tyler was going to go to Ilvermorney. This was a big blow to Josh’s life since he was super tight with his brother. They talked and shared almost all firsts with each other and they were each others security and now they’d be at different parts of the world. Before Josh knew it he sat on the train to Hogwarts alone without Tyler. He was unhappy, grumpy and definitely not bustling with starting school excitement at all. He wanted to be left alone. That wish was though short lived when a red haired girl practically stumbled into his compartment and life. Julia as the girl’s name was came with a fiery temper and bossiness and enough excitement for both of them. Soon after Julia’s girlfriends of 4 joined them and decided that Josh was as interesting as a new skirt and started to spit out 20 questions at him. He managed to upset and anger the girl gang without even understanding how.
His conclusion was that plants were so much easier to understand than girls.
After the train ride was over Josh got sorted into Ravenclaw house along with Kaysha Stewart and Tristan Wayland while Celestia Grimsbane and Kalen Kennedy were sorted into Slytherin and Gryffindor where also Katrina Sabra was a house member but in a few years over. The girl Julia became a Gryffindor. Kaysha and him got off to bad start right at the table during the first feast night. The bad start turned into a mutual hate relationship that grew over the years at school. Josh didn’t share the same friends as Tristan, Celestia, Katrina or Kalen .
The seven years flew by in a whiz with Josh taking part in a few extracurricular activities like dueling club, plant club, qudditch reserve for the eagle team and quiz bowl enthusiast. Josh even participated in the International Wizarding Quiz Bowl Championship for Hogwarts for a few years where he met and competed against Foster Davies for the first time. Herbology was though his love and what courses he enrolled himself in at Edinburgh University along with education after graduating from Hogwarts. His girlfriend since a few years Julia enrolled in pre healing courses and some pre-auror classes as the same University. In 2080 he graduates from Edinburgh University and marries his sweetheart Julia. They move to France to try their wings and take a few more degrees together in potions and french (to learn his mother’s tongue) at the university in Paris where Joshua runs into Gaston for the first time and works parts time at a plant school.
After graduating from the french uni Joshua was offered a full time job at the plant school and he gladly accepts. He works there for 5 years before he gets sacked for not agreeing with the new owners views on the plant school management. Before thinking about what to do next a job offer to work at St mungos hospital laboratory apartment arrives and Josh accepts. He works there for about 10 years. During this time he loses his wife Julia to a fatal illness and curse sustained during an MLE mission that went bad and blames himself for not being able to save her or come to her side quick enough to heal her since she sent him a distress patronus.
Ridden with grief and sorrow he leaves his St Mungos employment to be a freelance herbologist because Mungos just reminds him of Julia. Josh has just started to get his life in order when Regina contacts him and after an interview offers him a new job as Herbology professor at Hogwarts and he gladly accepts. So that’s where he is going in September, back to his old school to teach. PERSONALITY:
Joshua is practical, patient, logical, detemined and well-grounded. He likes to be surrounded by love and beauty and is often seen as an artist. He is stable and conservative and sticks to his choises to the point of bullheadedness. He is a very compassionate, caring and supportive of friends and family. Can be too overprotective especially of his twin brother that he keeps in close contact with via fire-message. He is also very loyal but hates changes, being critisized as a person or for his work and those who can't take responsibility for their actions. If you critisize a plant in his vincity you'll be in detention faster than you can say bouncing bulbs. Likes: Gardening, cooking, music, reading books and solving crosswords, drawing, working with his hands, high quality clothes, some pranks. Dislikes: Sudden changes, complications, feeling insecure, all kinds of shopping, criticism, guilt-placing, liars. Went to school with:
Kaysha Stewart
Kalen Kennedy
Katrina Sabra
Tristan Wayland
Celestia Grimsbane
Gaston Marchand
