...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

In what is probably the quickest hold-to-character-add I've had ever, here's Heather's character #3 - Hufflepuff 7th year, Mr Kevin Whitby junior.

He's what you might call, in essence, a pretty decent sort of bloke. He'll be friends/friendly to most people and tries to rein in any of his more annoying traits and will go out of his way to help people in trouble. He's a good student but mostly because, in the best traditions of Hufflepuffs everywhere, he works his arse off for his grades. COMC and Transfiguration are his best subjects and he wants to combine his skills in some way for a future job - those he's good mates with will know that Professor Mulligan recently offered to write a recommendation for him to enter the Animagus training programme. He's not a massive Quidditch nut but goes to the matches to support the Hufflepuffs on the Hogwarts team.

Plot wise, I'd love for some family connections. I wrote him as having Muggle grandfathers and Pureblood witch mothers on both sides, but left their maiden names blank so there's potential for cousins/second cousins there if anyone wants to be related! Any other relationships are very much welcome also.

I'm doing his timetable later but he's in Astronomy, COMC, Charms B, Herbology A, Potions A and Transfiguration A for reference of the 7th years :)

So, as anyone who knows Larissa or has seen her on a broom can testify, she's bloody terrible at flying, so wouldn't have been involved in the Tournament as a player.

She is, however, now one of the Hogwarts medical interns, so use that information as you will! :D

(Thanks, modlies! <3)
