Felix Felicis

Hey all. Just a heads up that I'll be gone from Monday (7/16) til Saturday (7/21). Family vacation times. Seamus is off at some sort of Healer Training in South America (he's very interested in plant based poisoning as a possible specialty) and has been for the last four weeks. He'll be back when I am!

FINALLY I've finished all my bios! Now I feel like I can introduce my kidlets. Hold onto your seats, it'll be long.

This here is Wayne, who some of you may remember from May02 (or Snitched, or Hogwarts Blogs), but he wasn't ever at Purgatory or Absolution, so he will be new to lots of you :-) He's a Puff from Harry's year and he stayed on for an 8th year at Hogwarts, as he was busy pretending to be a muggle to avoid Azkaban when he should have done his last year. He works as a clerk for the Muggle Liason office. 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's a nice guy and will talk to almost anyone (often without knowing who you are), but he can be pretty quiet and serious. Oh, and he's totally clueless about girls, which is always fun. Hopefully some of your characters will want to be his friend :-) His bio is here.

My other Puff is Lucy who I think all of you know! Towards the end of Absolution she was dating Jamie, but then he found out that she'd secretly dated Sean (her first boyfriend, who you'll meet once Max gets on here) and William, and they had a tearful break-up. After Hogwarts she sold her house, packed her mum off to Spain, and got a job working for a charity as a fundraiser - I haven't decided which one yet, so if you can think of one where she'll get extra interaction with one of your characters, please let me know! She has one more ex from between Hogwarts and now, but she's currently single. She wants friends... I also welcome people who hate her, although Lucy is not pleased with this idea. Her bio is here and her journal is notaspure

You also should all know Romilda, bless her. She and Devon broke up when they finished Hogwarts because he wanted to go abroad to be a cursebreaker. They're still good friends, though. She is much the same as ever, but a tiny weeny bit more mature - not so much fangirling and a little kinder. She works as a children's entertainer at the weekends, and is about to start a part-time course in clowning so she can make it a more full-time occupation and get some weekday work as well. She has recovered some more from her brain injury, and is basically just clumsy now, and sometimes slow in learning new things. Her bio lives here and her journal is clowningaround.

I think you all know Evan, too, my pervy lecherous creepy guy. Well, he's less creepy and lecherous than he used to be now - after a rather traumatic sex-changing incident during Absolution, he has a new sympathy for girls, and tries to respect them more, even if his penis does sometimes get in the way. He still very very much wants a girlfriend, if anyone's looking. No? No? Damn. He gets to be Vic's booty call sometimes, but it is not the same as having a girlfriend to hold hands with. Oh, and those of you who remember him as homophobic, he still is, but he's weakening. At the end of Absolution he found that his closest friend, Quentin, is gay, and stopped being friends with him. He is quite lonely. As for jobs, Evan works as a barman at the same strip club where Jasmine works, so that's fun. If you go in there, he will see you ;-) His bio is here and his journal is at notascreepy.

Another May02 person for you is Bernice Dunstan (at May02 she was known as Jade Dorny, but she's basically the same person). She came in towards the end of Absolution and pouted a lot. She's a quiet, bookish Ravenclaw in the same year as Leah and Mei who used to have a small circle of friends, but then the Carrows came along and showed her how much fun torture was, and she got carried away. Now everyone hates her. She's bi and crushes on the most inappropriate people, by the way. She's studying to be an accountant, and in the meantime does book-keeping for a few small businesses - mainly shady ones. Her bio is here and her journal is at moreberned.

Who else? Oh right, Alex. Most of you never got to meet Alex. He's basically an asshole because that is easier than being a sensitive soul, especially when you're in Slytherin. He was in the IS and now he's a drug dealer, as well as doing shady business dealings on the side. Fun times. In his last year at Hogwarts he had a friends-with-benefits thing with Vic, who told him she loved him, and he bolted, and they had a prank war, and... he still loves her, but isn't about to admit it. He's all kinds of screwed up and will be horrible to you, fair warning, mainly for attention. His bio is here and his journal lives at derailed.

Finally, I have Dean. Most of you know him I think, either from Absolution or from May02. He's a nice guy, cracking sense of humour, quite sensitive and rather gentlemanly. He's working as a temp, so may zip in and out of wherever your characters work if you can think of a reason for him to be there. He does want a permanent job eventually, but he doesn't know what in. Obviously, he loves art, but he thinks it's not very practical as a career choice. As the game begins, he's about to go on a date with Demelza Robins, who's been a friend of his for a few years, so it's kind of weird and awkward. That should be fun. His bio is here and his journal lives at banksywannabe.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Excited to start.
