Hi All! Just throwing it out there what will happen with Leon on Friday, when the acceptance results for WADA are due to come out...

When the post comes at breakfast on Friday morning, he'll be sitting at the Slytherin table, chilling out before Transfiguration and basically looking his usual relaxed self. He'll look nervous, though, when the owls start coming in, and will practically DIVE for his mail (causing chaos in the process). Once he reads his letter and finds out he's got in, he's going to jump up from the table and without saying a word, run over to the Hufflepuff table and plant a great big snog on Maggie Wood (cleared with Sarah, btw), thus publicising their relationship, and run out of the door to the Entrance Hall for a celebratory lap of the grounds.

Phil and Maggie will both know why he's reacting that way, and possibly some of the other Slytherin 7ths and Leon's other friends? He probably won't post on the journals right away and will inevitably be a few minutes late to Transfiguration B. Anyway, if your char was at breakfast, feel free to post reactions/thoughts on the matter!

...here's Heather with #4, Slytherin 7th year (thus rounding out that dorm) - Leon Beery!

Background: He's the son of one Edward Beery and Vicky Frobisher. Great-great grandfather is Herbert Beery, the former Herbology Professor who attempted to direct the disastrous attempt at a school pantomime (The Fountain of Fair Fortune), which led to there being no school plays for many years. The Beery family own Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, so your characters may or may not have seen them - his grandfather runs the Diagon Alley branch, and his father runs the Hogsmeade store. His elder brother was a Slytherin two years ago, and now manages the other family business, a Muggle-stuff themed café-bar in Diagon Alley (they have TV and everything!). He also has a little sister in 5th year, who I've left open in case anyone wants to app her.

Anyway! What do you need to know about Leon? WELL. He has a definite love of the good things in life, and is a cocky shit very confident in himself. He presents himself very nicely, but does NOT suit the early morning, tired and unshaven look (truefacts. I have pictures). Like his family, he loves Muggle stuff, thinks that wizards getting involved in cinema is THE BEST THING EVER, and wants to go to WADA after Hogwarts. He even has a cat named after the one in Hocus Pocus - which I admit, is totally a detail I included to amuse myself. He takes Charms, DADA, Divination, Muggle Studies, Potions and Transfiguration, and is in the B group for classes that are split.

His personality section kind of ran away from me (seriously, it's more than twice the length of my other kids!), but in short, he's definitely what you'd expect from a more social, diplomatically minded Slytherin. Don't underestimate him, though - he reads people very well, and he's very loyal to his fellows. If you're in his house, he'll have your back. Make a friend in him, and you've got one for life. Try to chat with him, and he'll probably ask you "Why?" at least once (he's not being obnoxious on purpose, he just wants to know about EVERYTHING).

GIVE ME YOUR PLOTS! <3
