Worst Qualities/Flaws: Often arrives for class late and is usually distracted by seemingly trivial objects and situations for extended periods of time.

History: Born and raised in Blackpool to Welsh parents, Lloyd always lived with the smell of seawater wherever he went. His mother was Head of the Portkey Office, his father a Muggle greenskeeper. As a child he was very quiet, often running out of the at night to gaze at the stars, fascinated and longing to learn more about them.

He first encountered his magical ability when he pointed at the sky while staring at clouds and inadvertently rearranged them to his liking. His favourite past times included cloud watching, broom riding and wizard chess. At age 9, Lloyd’s weathered broom slipped beneath him and cracked in half, a thick splinter tearing up his cheek (Despite this he is still fond of broom travel and Quidditch).

At Hogwarts he was sorted into Ravenclaw house, presumably due to his calming nature and his insatiable hunger for knowledge. He was very amiable towards the other students and was well-respected throughout his school years. Lloyd excelled tremendously in Potions and Astronomy, and was very fond of Divination. On the side he was well known as a very adept Chaser and eventually Captain for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Upon graduation Lloyd found himself studying the stars for many years. He held many workshops for stargazing and planetary study around Great Britain, eventually winding up back at Hogwarts where he landed a job teaching his passion: Astronomy.

Lloyd is unmarried, and quite content with this, but he knows that once he finds a lady who shares his interests and wants his company, he will be more than happy to live the rest of his days with her.

Wand: Very swishy, 11½ inches, Walnut and dragon heartstring

Hobbies: Lloyd enjoys studying the stars, sculpting, and broom riding through the countryside during the summer.

Animagus/Patronus Form: Lloyd’s Patronus is well known to be that of a large fruit bat, but he is also a registered Animagus, taking the form of a fruit bat as well.
