Felix Felicis

Hello new friends! (Old friends, too?) I am Squeaky, and reading the contact page, I don't think I recognize any names. I am 31 and I live in Boise, Idaho. I am a professional dial tone. At least that's what the boss calls us. What I do is I do one-way transcription of phone calls for the hard-of-hearing, they talk on the phone to a friend, I supply closed captioning of what the friend says. It's pretty neat work most of the time. I am a hobbyist photographer and a World of Warcraft/Star Wars: The Old Republic addict. I will talk forever about my cats, so you've been warned (Salem is 12 and he's diabetic and grumpy, Binx is four and she's a spaz that I've had since she was a tiny baby, and they're both black and I love them.)

So! Taryn Howard is a school librarian in Hogsmeade, she's sort of quiet and keeps to herself, but she's got opinions about things. She was a seventh year Hufflepuff when the Twiwizard Tournament came to town, and as Heather already said, met the man of her dreams in History of Magic class (even though at the time she wanted to hit him with a book.) Speaking of books, they're her favorite thing in the world, she always has one on her person, and spends all her free time absorbed in them. She's Muggleborn, and, again as Heather said, spent the second war in Russia, hiding from the Muggleborn Registration thingie.

Um. I think that's everything about her for now. She needs friends and things, so throw them at me!

My AIM is WhereDoAngelsGo, so feel free to hit me up there. If I don't respond, it's because I'm on the call floor (cell phones aren't allowed for privacy reasons, but IJ is TOTALLY cool between calls), or you could email me/comment, that's a faster way to reach me.

GLAD TO BE HERE. :D

Plot with meeeeeeeee.

Sadly, Erin has taken an indefinite hiatus, so we've lost Kelleigh and Jem.

HOWEVER, I'm happy to welcome Squeaky, who brings us Taryn Howard, and Heather also adds Ivan Volkov Maksimov - so run the button!

Me again! Heather here! This is Maks and I will try and keep this short. That'll never work. XD

He's a Durmstrang man, who came over for the Triwizard. He used to play Quidditch with Viktor and Anzelm on their school team. He's Russian and goes by Maks, never Ivan. His family is old money and actually comes from the Russian aristocracy. Remember how the Malfoys tried to keep in with the Muggle royalty? That's a game the Volkovs played and won. Or they did, until the downfall of the Tsar when his great great grandfather was brutally murdered in front of his entire family. So, no hang ups there, then.

The Triwizard was a fun time for him because it set him up for his future career. He is now an interpreter and translator for the ICW, British seats, as he speaks five languages - Russian, English, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish. Being something of a Scandinavia specialist, he's picking up Danish in his spare time because he's totally normal, you guys!

He and Taryn have been engaged for two years and they plan to marry in April 2006 at his family's estate in Russia. Right now, they have a place in the Cotswolds while they commute in opposite directions. They attended the Yule Ball together and dated ever since. When the war broke out, she went to stay with his family in Russia to keep her safe from Umbridge and her machinations - My head canon is that either Viktor (via Fleur) or Fleur herself tipped them off.

Any way, PLOT WITH ME IM EXCITED.
