! intro, alison

Did ya see me playing earlier? Did ya? Did ya? I played stuff!

*ahem* Anyway, this here is Wayne Hopkins, whom some of you may know from Hogwarts Blogs, May02 or Snitched. I did briefly play him here before but couldn't get a hold on him, so you may also remember him from that.

Wayne is a Puff from Harry's year and he stayed on for an 8th year at Hogwarts, as he couldn't attend for his 7th, being sort of muggle-born (muggle father, muggle-born mother). He managed to escape the first round of collecting up muggle-borns because his mother claimed that she had stolen magic for him and he wasn't to blame. He spent much of the year pretending like he was a muggle before they cracked down some more and took him away to Azkaban. He now works as a clerk for the Muggle Liason office, and it's okay. It pays pretty good, anyway, and it's a stable job (Wayne is not a risk-taker).

The most important thing to know about Wayne is that he's a poet. He will write lots of poetry, he will post poems written by other people, and he will talk like a pretentious prat. The second most important thing to know is that in spite of his dreamy poetic la-de-da, he's actually scarily pragmatic, being from a verrrry poor background and wanting to get on with it and earn money for his family. He can be quite bitter about money and prone to inverse snobbery too :-( The third thing you should know is he's Welsh and proud.

For all his faults, Wayne is mainly a nice guy, and will talk to almost anyone if the mood strikes, but he can be pretty quiet and serious. Oh, and he's totally clueless about girls, which is always fun (most of my boys tend to be, for some reason). I'm not done with his bio, as I had some html issues this morning and I am too tired to sort them out now, but if you want to read more, his last bio is here and he hasn't really done much since then (it's accurate except that it says he avoided Azkaban during the war. I changed my mind because I'm cruel.)

Friends and plot!

Leah: They work in the same department, and she'll definitely be friendly. Are you still going for him having a crush on her?

Jamie: Friendly and jam buddies.

Declan: Friendly acquaintances. Declan will remember Wayne as one of the eighth years.

Luna: Luna is Luna, so she'll be friendly and share her weird trivia with him like she does with everybody.

Miles: Will call him Hoppy because he's witty like that.

Tiago: Will like Wayne.

Hamish: Is Scottish and proud and therefore prone to admire someone who has identical pride.

Samir: Fellow Hufflepuff with artistic leanings, though more geared towards the visual arts than to poetry, so I think he'll like him.

Cormac: Might be the victim of Wayne's inverse snobbery, or at least annoy Wayne just for being Cormac.

Zoe: Fellow Hufflepuffs for the win. She'll appreciate some ideas for poetry books that can be sold at Flourish and Blotts, since she's interested in increasing what the store has to offer.

	Leah - oh I'd forgotten that but yes, that sounds fun. Expect poetry about her dazzling red hair ;-) Miles - Wayne sighs. Is that the best you can come up with, Miles? Wayne is a bit '....' about Samir and Barney and their crazy energy, but he'll try. Cormac - yeah, Wayne may not be his biggest fan... Zoe - that sounds like a plot!

	Leah - Oh dear. Miles - He thought about "Hopalong Wayne" for a bit, but felt it sounded a bit too much like a cowboy. Ditto on "The Lone Poet". Zoe - Awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Morag: Probably at least knows of Wayne since they were in the same year. She didn't choose to do an eighth year and instead started her mediwitch training and got married. Mo is a friendly little thing and was before the war so she might have bugged him when they were still in school.

Mei: I'm guessing they probably haven't had much interaction though he MIGHT remember her as Cho's chubby little sister.

Spencer: Same house though Spencer is a couple of years younger. I don't know how well Wayne remembers him but given how loud he is he probably remembers Spencer and Sarah at least a little.

Edwin: I'm guessing that Wayne doesn't reall know Ed at all.

	I think he could be friendly with Morag. Mei - probably not, but he'll be friendly enough. He probably didn't make the link with Cho, as he only really knows her as a Quidditch player. Spencer - I think everyone knows Spencer! I think Wayne will actually like him, bizarrely. I'm not sure why. Edwin - probably not. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Poor Wayne. Ernie is very happy he made it through the war, but not so thrilled about the Azkaban bit. They have the "clueless about girls" things in common besides, you know, sharing a dorm for a long time. Ernie wants to be buddies please and thank you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Buddies, yay! Wayne's cluelessness tends to be along the lines of seeing all women as friends and not noticing when he has a crush on someone until enough people point out to him that he is writing an awful lot of poetry about X. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Anthony would know him - friendly? Yue, probably not very well? Same with Cece and Ethan, but in game connecting for the win! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yep, he can be friendly with Anthony :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)
