Hi! *awkward wave*
Hi! Greetings and salutations :) My name is Jasmine, and I'm new here. I haven't done HP RP in ages, so bear with me a little. I'm also a bit shy to start, but please don't let that put you off! I love to chat about game or non game things if given a chance.

I'm bringing in Rolf Scamander . I hope you like him, and I promise he's more in depth than his bio seems! I'd welcome all kinds of lines and ideas, so please, don't be shy about contacting me. He's been back in England for a couple months, recuperating from a serious injury and taking over his family's animal shop and rescue operation, The Bestiary. I'd love to find him some friends and all sorts of lines.

Please feel free to ping me or email me. I do beg some indulgence right away - I just moved and I thought I'd get internet late last week, but cable misled me so it won't be til this week. So until then I'm mostly on my phone, and while I try to catch my errors, autocorrect is evil and IJ isn't always mobile friendly :P I work nights so I'm on a lot at late and odd hours, and if I don't respond immediately it is nothing personal! Just things being busy. I know I don't even have an icon yet for Rolf, but it's awfully hard to make icons on a phone! I promise he'll have one shortly.

I hope to be involved in some threading with you all soon!

Hi Jasmine!

Great to see you back to RPing and to see Rolf in this game. I'm Kat, and I have three girls here:

Alicia Fawley (nee Spinnet -

_alicia_) - Gryffindor, 4 years older than Rolf, widow and single mother of 5 year old twins, Isla and Liam. Alicia is a part-time Healer for Pride of Portree and the co-founder of The Daniel Fawley Foundation. She's sweet and somewhat no-nonsense but usually willing to help out. I don't know that she would know or remember Rolf from school, however, she's bound to have been dragged into the Bestiary by her own little beasties (Isla and Liam) ever since it's opened (and no, they're not getting a pet).

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw and 3 years older than Rolf. Melinda owns and runs the pâtisserie in Monument Alley, Sweet Nothings, and she is sweet and polite and gentle and smiling, and she may know Rolf either from the LBB or as a customer.

Finally there's Rose Zeller (this journal and my newest addition) - Hufflepuff, 2 years younger than Rolf, and she's just moved on from basic training to working with a Cursebreaker team out of Gringott's in London. Rose has some trust issues, but she's confident (or at least appears to be) and very careful not to come across as too smart. She may know Rolf from school (take a look at her profile and see if anything clicks), she may be open to a pet (though she would need a sitter when she's on a mission), but they might get along :)

Looking forward to playing with you!

Nice to meet you! It's a little nerve wracking getting back into a group, when I've done private plays for so long, but I'm looking forward to it.

Rolf would be happy to let the kids play with animals and teach them about them, sonlong as they listen about being gentle :) Alicia he might wheedle gently about a pet.

He likes sweet things so if he hasn't been there yet, he will.

They likely met, as Rolf was pretty friendly and very smart. I can see them bonding or having bonded over having distant parents. It's possible at some point Rolf deflected attention from her or her friends during that one year. And a petsitter is possible, he says!

I'd say you've picked the right place :)

They're gentle with animals, if they're told to be. Alicia already has twins and an Oliver Wood; she doesn't need anymore pets.

Sweet Nothings has been in Monument Alley since the beginning, so two years.

In that case, Rolf would be one of the very, very few people who knows. Also, if he deflected attention from her, she would have gone out of the way to help him out later. Perhaps that's when she realised her talent for forging documents and sweet-talking people? She'll definitely consider a pet. Not a dog. She's scared of dogs.

	Then he'll get on with the kids well. He likes kids. Lol and an Oliver Wood. Hahaha yes. If he knows he wouldn't say anything. It's up to her if that happened, but I could sort of see it. Hee just like a Hufflepuff, helping each other out. Aww scared of dofs. He's sympathetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're good kids, so I'm sure he will :) I think that shall have happened. Bonding during that war year where she was sent there even if she begged not to go? Yep, scared of dogs, don't know why, and terrified of vampires. Other than that, she's pretty fearless :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think he realized what was going on - out of the country the summer before - and then his family wasn't there to pull him out again. So definitely in common there. Yay a bond!

Well he has at least one dog (I'm still trying to figure out what is his nd what is the shop's, oy) but that dog wouldn't hurt a persom unless it was attacking him. But he won't let it bother her :) he met a vampire once. Didn't like it.
