These positions, and many other duties and responsibilities he has accumulated, give him a significant measure of reputation and influence with his his fellow student, and to a degree, the faculty. He can use that to get his advantage... but all of that authority comes with a commiserate amount of demands upon his time. | These positions, and many other duties and responsibilities he has accumulated, give him a significant measure of reputation and influence with his his fellow student, and to a degree, the faculty.

− | + | Seeing the writing on the wall after Dumbledore's death, Malcolm's mother pulled some strings and had her son accepted as an exchange student at Ilvermorny the following year. Malcolm fought her on it of course, but with her son's life on the line, Olivia wasn't taking any chances. | |
− | + | And so Malcolm joined Ilvermorny and became a member of their Thunderbird House. He sent letters as much as he could to Cho, Luna, Hekate and other Ravenclaws, so he was aware of most of what happened during that year. He was able to send what support he could through the mail... potion ingredients... research from Ilvermorny's library... but overall he felt powerless. | |
− | + | Then everything went quiet and he feared the worst. He tried running away a few times to get back to Hogwarts, but Ilvermonry's security was tight... and they were paying special attention to the exchange students that were attending school there. | |
− | :''' | + | He felt ashamed when he returned the next year leading him to overcompensate for his absence... doing everything he can to be for the school now, and doing his best to bite his tongue when he is reminded of his absence. |

Malcolm is a natural at winning over people, and through all his games and matches he is careful to be a humble winner and a gracious loser. Given everything the school has gone through, he doesn't want Hogwarts being torn apart again. Certainly not over anything as relatively trivial as an intramural sports league. | Malcolm is a natural at winning over people, and through all his games and matches he is careful to be a humble winner and a gracious loser.

During his year as an exchange student at Ilvermorny, Malcolm had the opportunity to perform familiar summoning ritual. He thought he'd get something impressive or fearsome, but instead ended up with a Fairy. | During his year as an exchange student at Ilvermorny, Malcolm had the opportunity to perform familiar summoning ritual.

− | The Shaw wizarding family was founded a couple hundred years ago when a daughter of the Macmillan family married the muggle-born Wizard, Roderick Shaw. Malcolm doesn't remember the entire family history, but the Shaw's have married at least a few other muggle-born wizards or witches over the years. Most recently, Malcolm's Mum, Olivia, is a second generation wizard who married into the family. | + | The Shaw wizarding family was founded a couple hundred years ago when a daughter of the Macmillan family married the muggle-born Wizard, Roderick Shaw.

Most recently, Malcolm's Mum, Olivia Shaw, is a second generation wizard who married into the family. |
Since it's founding, just over half of the Shaw's have been Ravenclaw's, with a fairly even split between the other Houses. Malcolm's own father, Derick Shaw, is a Hufflepuff and his mother is a Ravenclaw. When the two got married, Malcolm's grandmother was pleased to see that her son married a 'nice Ravenclaw girl.' | Since it's founding, just over half of the Shaw's have been Ravenclaw's, with a fairly even split between the other Houses.

Derick has a relaxed, easy going demeanor. He's an Owlet Trainer with the Post Service, a job he can do just about anywhere. Which is good, considering Malcolm's Mum is one of the British Delegates to the International Confederation of Wizards. | Derick has a relaxed, easy going demeanor.
