feinted

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you all a heads' up, Aidan's brother, sister-in-law, and their three children made an appearance in Hogsmeade today. Periodically various people would have seen him not only with his class assigned baby, but nearly-six year old twins and one year old baby girl. He was having a grand time, smiling, laughing, and playing with them all as his brother and sister-in-law were having a romantic/grown up time by themselves.

He was hanging out with his teammates/fellow Beauxbâtons students, introducing his nephews and niece to anyone who wanted to approach. If your character didn't, please feel free to have them speculate about who these children were/why Aidan was responsible for them.

At breakfast this morning, Hugo came dressed particularly snappy and sang When I Get You Alone. Only...it wasn't to Sonali, it was to Kingsley. He even had a rose for Kingsley.

However, I believe at some point Lala would have attacked him (Lis - would she wait until NOT in the Great Hall?) and someone would need to break that up.

Sonali, we give you so many apologies >.>

So, reactions can go here or in journals etc!



Also, as an OOC note, I have extremely limited internet access at home right now. But I will reply/tag stuff as I can from work too.

Ladies, unlike previous people who shall not be named, Aidan here isn't about to ask you to hold onto anything (in fact, he'd rather you didn't) and introduces himself as Aidan Pieter de Groen, keeper for Beauxbâtons.

Before you all ask, how did a Dutch boy end up with an Irish name, he's named after his great-uncle who died shortly before his birth. A bit of a mutt when it comes to nationalities (his four grandparents were from four different countries), Aidan's quite happy with the choice his parents made to send he and his siblings to Beauxbâtons. Overall, he's your typical sixteen year old bloke. He doesn't take things (except maybe Quidditch) very seriously and is more inclined to laugh than scowl. Definitely the clown in his family, Aidan grew up keeping up with two older brothers and watching out for two sisters. He's continued this trend since being in school.

Aidan tends to put up a front of a joking, dumb jock for those that don't know him very well. He can come off as cocky, smug, and just a little bit chauvinistic, but underneath that façade you will find a guy who thinks... a lot. He's an average (sometimes above) student, who often skates by on natural intelligence for when he doesn't really give a damn.

Some fun things about him:
• His family produces Jötunheimr Brandewijn/Brandy (iced brandywine), a wizarding liquor. Durmstrang can keep their vodka, he'll take that, cheers.
• He is a frequent target of Dani's ire, because she's so much fun windup. Though if you hurt her watch your back.
• He broke up with his long distance girlfriend at the Gala. Did your characters see him get pushed into the pool? I bet they did!
• His father went to Durmstrang and his mother went to Beauxbâtons. They met at Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. This isn't giving Aidan any ideas, however.

This is what happens when you guys let me icon. I get muses and then I enable myself. Ahem. Anyway, this is Lis, bringing you my fourth child Viola Constance Rosier, little sister to Rosalind and fifth year Gryffindor.

Yes. You heard right. Pansy Parkinson's daughter is a Gryffindor. No, Viola doesn't understand it (or truly believe it) either. She doesn’t consider herself particularly brave or courageous as she’d much prefer others fight her battles for her. Viola is the type of person you always wanted to be in your group on a group project. She doesn't vie for control and takes direction well. She'll complete her section and then turn around and ask if you need any help with yours. She tends to keep to herself and close friends (Annie and Gil), rarely branching out. Viola can come across as a little snooty and snobbish, and that's not to say she isn't on occasion, but wouldn't you be with a mother like Pansy Parkinson? If you make the first move with Viola, more than likely you will receive a warm reception. It is incredibly easy to make her blush, shutter, or otherwise embarrass herself. Some of the crueler (or less sensitive) people around Hogwarts has probably made her cry in earlier years.

Obviously I would love lines and connections for Viola. Friends, enemies, people who have made her cry, potential awkward romance?

Hello everyone! This is Lis and I'm bringing you my number three: Esmeralda "Lala" Jane Bradley, though she typically goes by Lala with her friends. Truth be told, she'll respond to most anything, including but not limited to: Hey You, Bradley, or Sexy Bitch.

She is a seventh year Slytherin and the other (better) half to one Kingsley Shacklebolt. They've been going out since the end of fourth year, a fact that boggles her mind to this day. In stark contrast to her boyfriend, Lala is an ambitious girl who is not afraid to tell you what she wants when she wants it. She fully intends on either going to Gringotts after Hogwarts or writing for Teen Witch. A people person, Lala isn't afraid to offer her opinion on your business, even if it wasn't requested. A word of warning for friends/aquaintances, Lala is a hugger.

( TL;DR: Some Facts about Lala )

So obviously the things Lala needs are friends, enemies, and frienemies. She's a familiar face around Gryffindor, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love her Slytherin peeps any less. Her favorite class is Arithmancy, followed closely by Divinations, though she can't claim any natural skill/True Sight. Lala is a fan of Quidditch, but there is no way you'll ever find her in the air. She's terrified of heights.

Hey everyone, this is Lis coming at you with my second character didn't take long, did it: Brooke Summers, seventh year and chaser for Salem Prep.

A halfblood, Brooke is the third of four and the only girl. Needlessly to say, she is a giant tomboy and wants to be friends with almost everyone. Her father, Jake Summers, attended Hogwarts back in 1994 when the Triwizard Tournament occurred (he tried to cross the age line), but moved to the States following his seventh year. Brooke's excited to be seeing where her father went to school and if any Hufflepuff wants to give her their house scarf that would be awesome. Brooke doesn't take Potions so she wasn't affected by recent events, but now she kind of wishes she was as everyone has been so freaking hilarious.

( Some Fun Facts About Brooke )

She loves her fellow Salemites and wants to make friends with everyone else, unless someone doesn't want to be her friend (which will make her sad), but conflict is good. Throw some plot at me, people.

Edit: I also just brought Will Longbottom</i> if you missed him the first time!

Hello everyone, my name is Lis and I'm bringing you the ever lovable, if occasionally annoying, Will Longbottom. Still sore that he missed the cut off for the Hogwarts team, he's distracting himself by looking at all the pretty girls. A bit of a loudmouth, he's both loner and social butterfly (confused? So is he, at times) but loves to make friends with almost everyone.

Will delights in needling Frank's buttons and is more alike Eddie than either would probably want to admit. He's an average student, but has rather good grades in History of Magic, though it appears he doesn't pay much attention in class.

Since it appears that I'm really horrific at intros, I'll just whore myself out for plots. Gimme, pretty pretty please?
