Two of the Ministry's brightest young aurors were honored today by the European Coalition of Aurors. Alice Longbottom and William Jugson were chosen out of hundreds of applicants across the continent to join four other young aurors in receiving the Daring Resolve Against Glaring Offensives Nationally award (The D.R.A.G.O.N. award). These six aurors will travel across the continent to speak to other auror programs and invoke positivity in these ever changing times.

Mrs. Longbottom works in the research lab along as in the field, and is married to fellow up and coming auror Frank Longbottom (recent recipient of the Order of Merlin). She has one son, Neville, who will be a year old in July. Mr. Jugson is currently located in Bobigny, France, in cooperation with the British and French Ministry's program to instate mutual understandings of each other's aurorly tactics. He is married to author Anneliese Jugson and they have one son, Henry, who turned a year old in March.
