Hey guys.

Laws here. It's nice to meet everyone. I'm bringing in Roger Davies (that one bloke who'd taken Fleur Delacour to the Yule Ball). Pureblood. 23. Auror. Former Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. He's an all around charmer with a bucket of issues. He smokes, he drinks, he loves his junk food. He can't cook for shit and he's livin' the bachelor life somewhere in London, England. Already two years into his job at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he has been dealing with insomnia, thanks to the vivid nightmares he gets from witnessing too many horrors.

He's a really outgoing and sociable fellow, the type that makes friends fast. Bars and parties are his typical hangout spots when he's not at home. He loves books, music, women, ~~long walks on the beach~~ dancing, home cooked meals, and his cat, Jim. Roger has a very down-to-earth, take-no-bullshit personality with a bit of an impulsive temper. Still, he's a great guy to kick back with when there's a shortage of entertainment. He doesn't like to get too touchy feely emotions-wise, but he's always willing to listen and help.

Oh, yeah. He also has problems with his parents, so avoid that topic at all costs.

If you want a more in-depth account of him, you can feel free to check out his profile here. Otherwise, I am up for all plots, connections, etc. You can contact me either on AIM (delirious deceit) or here. Looking forward to future interactions!

Hi there Laws I'm Laurie and I have:

Astoria Greengrass (this journal): Spoiled brat that's caught up in her own life and the troubles she has. Her fiance is engaged to another woman! She's sociable for the most part, so don't be surprised if she talk to him through the journals. Oh, and she's the cook/baker lol. =P

and

Lavender Brown (

lavenderrose): First, she demands I say "You're hot!" and now... She's the fashion bug, works at Malkin's shop in Diagon as an apprentice as she works on furthering her career in - well - fashion. She has this aspiring dream to become the biggest thing in wizard fashions. After a long day of dealing with people at the shop, she's been known to head down to the Leaky for a drink. And since Roger can't cook, she says she can tell him where all the good take out places are since she can't cook either >.<

Anyway, that's my two! I'm on AIM @ ragebrokenhearte and don't be surprised if you get an IM from me.

Hey Laurie. Pleasure to meet you.

Astoria - He has no complaints about the talking if it means he'll eventually get to try the cooking. Doubt he'll know who she is right off the bat, but he's always open to meeting new people.

Lavender - Apparently, she has an excellent taste in men then. He's not really a "clothes" man though. Fashion isn't his thing, so she probably won't be seeing him around the shop. Leaky, on the other hand, is a place she'll definitely see him at. Maybe they just might bump into each other one of these days. Who knows?

HI!! So Glad you're here!

Mandy - biffles, and life partners and annoy the shit out of each other. You know how it is. She's still finishing her healing training, so not properly employed yet, but I'm sure Roger can find plenty of reasons to pick on her.

Gwendolyn Montgomery - She's 3 years younger than him, so I doubt they'd know each other from Hogwarts, but she is very chatty and flirty, so she's probably talked to him a few times. She's an actress, so probably no personal interaction, though she says she is very good and he should totally have seen her on stage.

Theodore Nott - He works at the Ministry, so they would run into each other at times. He's a Hit wizard, who finished his training last summer, and I imagine there might be some sort of overlap there; he's not very talkative, but he'd be nice enoughh, at least.

Megan Jones - Bubbly, chatty and a muggleborn. If she thinks he's not a threat, she might talk to him. At the moment though, she's stuck at St. Mungo's having been unconscious for the best part of a week. She's a design student, and doing a bit of interning and such in Diagon Alley.

Marcus Flit - He's 2-3 years older, so not mugch there, but he was on the Slytherin team for quite a few years, so there could have been some sort of a rivalry there. Marcus lives out in Falmouth, and plays for the Falcons, so he thinks he's a really big deal, and can be rather annoying about it. They could have the occasional point maybe?

Oh, why hello there. Don't I know it that you're glad to have me here.

Mandy - Best. Friends. Forever. He's going to make her life hell. In a good way. Sometimes. Maybe. But at least he adores her?

Gwen - He'd definitely have flirted back. Actresses, man. What more is there to say? But, hey, if she really thinks her acting's so good, she should invite him to one of her shows. He just might be open to it as long as the invitation isn't limited to only that (if you catch his drift).

Theo - Yeah. I won't be surprised if their paths have crossed or will eventually cross. Same department. Kind of hard not to bump into people. Either way, he'll be polite at best. He's not a difficult guy to talk to, so maybe they'll get along. Just gonna have to see how it goes.

Megan - Definitely not a threat, but I won't blame her for any wariness she may have. He's an Auror working for the Ministry, after all. But, if she does speak to him, I think she'll find out he's not a bad guy at all pretty quickly. Mandy can vouch for him.

Marcus - Oh, Slytherin. He's actually pretty competitive, so I won't be surprised if there is some sort of old rivalry there. But he'll be good-natured about it since Quidditch is only something he does every once in a while now. Plus, as long as the bloke's not too bad, he'll be able to manage him easily.

Now that I am done fan-girling over Jensen *flail* Welcome! Glad you're here. I'm Tonya and the Mod-like one. Lets start in reverse ABC order b/c that's the kinda mood I'm in today^^

Alexander Yaxley (

agamemaker) is your DE extraordinaire or he likes to think so. I am sure he is known as a DE, because lets face it, most people know but it can't be proved. He also works at the Ministry too so I say they know of each other! Probably don't get along but I say he should ruffles his feathers and try to prove he's a DE. Lots of fun time.

Ginny Weasley (

petite_weasley) is another on of mine. I think she knows of him at least from quidditch! She's a pro player now though she splits time between that and Order things. She's going to be getting a bigger role in that but she can come talk to Roger! Fleur is currently MIA and they could use his Auror skills with that! He could be working on her disappearance if you'd like.

Next in order is Daphne Greengrass (

thornedroses) and I'm not sure she knows him directly but we can change that! She's Astoria's older sister and works at the Apothecary shop as the resident potion maker. She's brilliant at it, she did study under Snape and lets face it he's good but an arse. She would certainly willing to make him anything for insomnia or whatever ails him. She's not really a DE supporter but with her Aunt Alecto breathing down her neck (and scaring her really) she sometimes gets roped into their things under the threat of her life.

Lastly there is Fleur who definitely knows Roger. I would like to think their time at the Yule Ball was a good one? I mean that it ended in a mutual split. Fleur really wasn't type to have serious relationships. She was the type to go on a few dates, snog a bit and then leave. She was a bit flighty as a teen. Now she's married to Bill, a manager over at Gringotts running a different million projects and CO-Head w/ Bill on the Curse-breaker office, and pretty active in the Order. She is also pregnant but that's kinda a secret for now. And she's been kidnapped by Bella at the moment so he can help with that.

Anyhow welcome again! You can always find me over @ eclipsedletoile on AIM. I'm almost always one even when I should be working.

Yeah, Jensen's great. But, anyway, thanks! I'm glad to be here. It's also a pleasure meeting you, Tonya.

Yaxley - That's going to be interesting. He tries to be moderately polite at all times when he's in the Ministry, but, if provoked, he definitely won't hesitate to snap back. With a lot of snark. As much as he likes to think he's pretty damn tolerable about Death Eaters, he's not.

Ginny - Yeah, I think they'd have known each other in Quidditch. He doesn't hesitate to chat with other teams. Just kind of how he is. People person. If she ever wants to talk to him about something, he'll definitely be opened to it. He wants to help, so a link to the Order would be extremely convenient for him. If she comes to him with details of Fleur's disappearance, he'll do his best to help find her. Can't have her missing.

Daphne - If she works at the Apothecary, he might visit the shop on occasion. He's very adept in Potions, but there are times when it's easier to just buy it from the shelf. Don't think he'll be asking for any insomnia remedies though. He's keeping that pretty tight-lipped in general and his trust in people isn't exactly high nowadays. I think he'll enjoy having a good chat with her about potion making though. Always out for intellectual chats with pretty women.

Fleur - Yeah. He remembers that rendezvous. Good time, good time. The dancing was nice, but it was what had happened afterward that was really memorable. He isn't the type to have serious relationships ~~ever~~, so it would have ended very amicably between them. They could have probably stayed in contact over the years since I'd doubt he'd give up the friendship. If he finds out about her disappearance, he'll definitely get right on it.

I am glad to see Jensen get some love! Jared is great too but yeah, always been more of a Jensen gal myself. Okay back on target lol.

I see a lot of snarking from the pair of them. Alexander will likely provoke him purposely just to see how much a reaction he can get from him. He likes to play games like that. He sees it as a game and a challenge. It will be fun!

Ginny will seek him out! Because lets face it, the Order could really use his skills so the link is there if you want it! Working Fleur's disappearance could be his way to give him a huge leg up and into the Order. It would give him an in on the major plot arcs and such too.

Daphne will do her best to provide him with that. She says she doesn't get many intelligent convos with smart hot men these days. They will be friendly at least.

Friends it is! I like to think Fleur kept in touch with those she met over the years especially since she came back to live there shortly after the TWT ended. I am sure she'd be honored and relieved to have someone like him working on it.

Yaxley - For him, probably. I don't think Roger will look at it the same way. He'll be a bit more exasperated with it, but he won't have trouble standing his ground against him. Not an easy one to push around.

Ginny - Sweet. I've always figured he'd become part of the Order eventually. He'll have to keep it a secret, but he's been working on his Occlumency just in case. Sort of needed if he's going to take the risk while working under the noses of Death Eaters.

Daphne - Well, lucky for her, he'll be able to give her just that.

Fleur - Great. He'll do whatever he can to get her back home safely.

...You're killing me with the Jensen. Now I want to pick up Misha somewhere.. -roll-
Anyway! I'm Alex and I know you from a zillion games. I have four Kids here.

This lady right here is Susan Bones (Hufflepuff alumni 1998). She's an Order member, tries to avoid the Magical world at all costs because it might make her suspicious. Lately, she's been making sure Muggleborns can get out of London safely thanks to her handy dandy Pub/safehouse. Susan says he's always welcome to drop by the Pub if he would like.

Next is Tracey Davis

ispytracey (Slytherin 1998). Works for her dads business with merging and other fun businessie things. Tracey is a halfblood, but completely in secret. Everyone believes the Davis kids to be Pureblood. Tracey is attempting to help out the Order by sending whatever information she can under a pseudo name. It seems her job is keeping her busy and she hasn't had the chance to do much. I don't know how much interaction they would have.

I also have my two psychos.

Alecto Carrow

charmingsmoke who is teaching at Hogwarts. Muggle Studies, because she knows the topic oh so well. She doesn't like blood and would rather have people do her dirty work for her. Alecto doesn't leave Hogwarts much, but might know of Roger by his Pureblood ties.

Finally, Annabelle Rosier

redrosier. Holy shit balls crazy this one. She will paint with blood and kill whoever gets in her way. Annabelle was raised to be psychotic and a sociopath. She likes werewolves, death, and torture. She won't touch Roger since he's Pureblood, only try and bring him to the dark side. Again, not much interaction there.

Mostly, I think Susan will be the one that has the most interaction with him. Since that whole owning a pub thing. She says she'll cook for him if he ever needs a good meal. The damn 'Puff in her is just too nice.

Sorry for rambling! I've been super sick for the past week and a half and my brain is on dead. Woo! Welcome to the game.

If you pick up Misha, I would literally die inside. Absolutely love him. But, yes, what a small world! Nice to be playing with you again and I hope you feel better soon.

Susan - If she owns a pub, then he'll definitely know her. He likes to frequent those often. Never fails for decent entertainment. And, if he gets good food along with the friendship, then that's a definite bonus in books.

Tracey - He probably won't know her. We'll just have to wait and see if they'll get a chance to interact eventually.

Alecto - He doesn't exactly have time to visit Hogwarts nowadays. But, since they're pretty much part of the same "scene", he'd know of her too. Don't think there will be much chances for meetings here unless he bumps into her in the Ministry or at an event.

Annabelle - Yeah, I don't think he'll look at her too favorably. Depending on where they are, he'll act polite at best, but that's kind of where the line ends.

He's kicking in my head now...as John Dawlish. Okay, this might have to happen. Yes! Nice to be playing with you again, too! And thank you.

Susan - Susan is already excited about this, she likes the entertainment. Perhaps she'll get the pie ready or something.

Tracey - I think the closest they've been might be a mistake in last name. We shall see! Random interactions are always a blast!

Alecto - Yeah, that sounds about right. Sometimes she can be pulled away from the school for a social event. Like dangerous Death Eater riddled Carnivals from Hell.

Annabelle - haha! That's more than she gets with most, and doesn't even notice half of the time.

Oh, god. Don't get my hopes up now. It'd be great if Roger has someone he can really count on in his department.

Susan - She would be his hero if she had pie waiting for him.

Tracey - Yeah, pretty much. I'm sure they'll cross paths eventually one way or another.

Alecto - Then, they'll definitely bump into each other one of these days.

Annabelle - He'll probably figure that out eventually and say screw it with the politesse. Aha.

Hi! I'm Mel and I have a whole stack of characters.

This guy is Adrian Pucey, former Slytherin chaser, now playing for Falmouth. Friendly rivalry, maybe? I think they're about the same age.

I also have Draco, who probably thinks Roger is a tool, but he thinks most people are.

Next is Tonks, who's a bit older, but would probably know him through work.

Tamsin Applebee is a former Hufflepuff, now playing Chaser for the Tornadoes, but would know him from school, too.

And lastly, Bellatrix Lestrange, who is just like you'd expect her to be.

Anyway, looking forward to playing with you.

Hey Mel. Pleasure to meet you.

Adrian - Friendly rivalry works. He was pretty competitive with most of the teams when it came to Quidditch, but he's always been very good-natured. Plus, it's not like he's been able to play it very often nowadays.

Draco - It's alright. Roger probably thinks the exact same thing of him. Doubt he'll have much interest in associating with him either. Malfoys.

Tonks - Same department. He gets along well with coworkers, so I don't think there will be much problem between them. Not to mention, he happens to be friends with most of the Order members. Which works out.

Tamsin - He knows pretty much everyone who'd played Quidditch back in the school days. I wouldn't be surprised if they were friends or, at the very least, acquaintances.

Bellaxtrix - Yeah. Bellatrix. He's going to be working on Fleur's disappearance, so that might be something.

Adrian would have stood out, being one of the only Slytherins to not play dirty, and he respects good players, so j could definitely she a friendly rivalry thing going on with Roger.

Tonks will like him, caus she's a good guy and handsome so he's fun to look at, too.

Tam might have crushed in him a bit, so maybe a history there? Otherwise, definitely friends.

Bella looks forward to playing with him...

Adrian - Great. He gets brownie points for it.

Tonks - He could pretty much say the same.

Tam - Well, Roger dated very loosely back in Hogwarts, so, even if there's history there, it won't be much. Maybe one or two dates at the most. But, yeah, I like the sound of friends.

Bella - He'll be staying far away from her radar. Or, at least, as far away as he can as an Auror who's currently seeking the whereabouts of someone who she's coincidentally kidnapped.

Hi! I'm Jessica. Sorry I am sliding in all late! I had a couple of kids that could know Roger.

Pansy Parkinson might know of him. She helps out in her father's owlery and is engaged to Theodore Nott. I doubt they are friends but they could have random meet ups when she is in the ministry visiting for some reason or another. And yes she is pretty much how you expect her to be.

Lily Moon is a former Hufflepuff and member of the Order. She is in an arranged marriage with Draco Malfoy which they are trying to get out of. She owns a shoe shop in Diagon named Muse. So...if he needs a new pair of shoes or someone to have a random drink with then she's your girl.

Justin Finch-Fletchly is muggleborn and engaged to Megan. He would be friendly and talk quiddich with him if they were in the same place.

Remus Lupin would remember him from school. Again he would he friendly.

I think that's everyone. Feel free to say hi. I am most often on AIM and can be found at gothambookchick.

Hey Jessica. Pleasure to meet you.

Parkinson - Likewise, Roger will have heard of her. Or at least the Parkinsons in general. If they meet in the workplace, then he'll be courteous at most. He does know Nott though. Same department, etc. So, that might be another possible link. Not much of one, but it's something.

Lily - He... gives her his sympathies. Malfoys, man. What more can he say? He'll definitely take her up on that offer for drinks though. He always accepts offers for drinks especially random ones. They're technically the best kind you can have (aside from the free ones).

Justin - Excellent. He's always up for a good chat about sports.

Lupin - Oh, Roger would remember him from school too. He'll be friendly. And respectful. Once a professor, always a professor.
