History

Josh grew up well-loved and taught to be ambitious, brave, and to always persevere. He was told from a very young age of his magical bloodline, so it was no surprise to him when he received his letter of acceptance to attend wizarding school. He was placed into Gryffindor, where he made fast friendships that would endure the test of time. He was involved in Quidditch, he had no issue with his teachers, and thanks to his girlfriend, Hermione, he even excelled in his subjects. He had the makings of a great Auror, and he became one upon his graduation from school.

His time as an Auror was short-lived, for during a mission he was petrified and made to drink Polyjuice Potion. Josh had no idea he would be made to take on the form of a murderer or that his own form would be buried in the ground. His only memories of that time were the sick feelings in his stomach and the knowledge that his wand had been taken from him, no doubt used to prove the identity of the body in the ground.

He was tossed into Azkaban Prison in the Spring of 2008, listed only as Prisoner 13187. It was the label meant for the murderer whose face he'd been given. By the time the potion wore off, he was in a cell, ignored and forgotten. The young man spent seven years in Azkaban pleading his innocence to anyone who would listen. It was that level of perseverance that brought an angry Straw Buckett to his cell. They had once been the best of friends, so it did not surprise him that the man wasn't easily convinced that the one buried hadn't been him. Josh managed to convince him, and Straw promised to get him out.

Josh was released on July 4, 2015. He has no idea how Straw pulled it off, but from the way they snuck their way through Azkaban's fortress, Josh could only guess that Straw hadn't used proper protocol to get him out. Currently, he is taking his time trying to get a grasp on life as it is now and filling in the pieces of all that he missed. He is lying low, staying secretly in the Ground Keeper's hut with Logan Renly, another trusted friend.
