History/Background Story: Dafydd was born to a wizard mother and a squib father in the vast and beautiful countryside of Wales. While his mother is a renown potions master who's expertiese lay in medical potions, his squib father's work involved working with muggles that had encountered magical creatures such as Boggarts, Grindylow and the Welsh Green dragons before their memories got changed. Both of them are on the older side in age, having decided to have Dafydd very late in life as both of them persued their careers in their youth, however this doesn't stop them from spoiling Dafydd with unconditional love and affection.

During Dafydd's early childhood he would diligantly watch his mother's potion making as he sat on a stool next to her, it fascinated him, the various processes and steps his mother took to create and brew the various potions, exlirs and salves that she did. Yet as he grew even older he would discover his love and enjoyment for hiking and walking, the sights and the views that the welsh valleys had to offer the young boy as he often ventured out around his family's cottage with his springer spaniel Emrys. They were peaceful years, homeschooled by his parents and left mostly to wander free so long as he was back before dark!

It was only at the age of eleven that Dafydd discovered an owl waiting for him outside his cottage and.. after stopping Emrys from trying to eat the poor owl, he managed to get his letter and call his mother whom surprised to see the owl also became extremely excited for her son! It was his hogwarts acceptence letter. And that is where his story begins...

First Instance of Magic: Dafydd's first instance of magic happened at the ripe age 3 years old as he was sat in his cottage's living room playing with his toys while his father slept on the couch, growing bored of playing with his toys by himself and attempting.. but failing to wake his father up, Dafydd began to throw a tantrum as he sat on the rug, crying and throwing his toys around.. yet little did he realise the toys he threw away would be magically dragged back towards him to throw again. To this day both of his parents were unaware this event ever happened.
