A dark and brooding Fotherington-Tomas sits in the drawing room of Haggrid's Gentleman's Club in London, wishing only to be a little closer to the fire and swaddled in a never-ending supply of brandy, to warm his bones.

Set against a backdrop of the mighty game of rugby and an Oxford University that exists only in the imagination, this is Fotherington-Tomas as you've never seen him before.
