Hello

finnigansmod peeps, this is Sarah (Oliver Wood

oliverwoodwould, Astoria Greengrass

sew_perfect and Megan Stewart (Jones)

hotcrossed) bringing you my 4th, Mr. Eddie Carmichael! A little about Eddie:

He's a Ravenclaw 1997 grad, meaning a year older than the trio, but was not in the DA. He's friendly and outgoing but he also comes across as somewhat contrary so might have explained why Cho didn't ask him to come along ;)

He dated Alicia in school her 7th year, his 6th, and they did help each other with things so there's that! But I'm also open to him having a couple other girlfriends while in Hogwarts.

He's a cursebreaker with Gringott's and is a full cursbreaker now, specializing in counter-hexes and spell detection. He recently injured himself on a mission and so is home recuperating (and listening to too many wireless shows...his post will explain)

Because of his globetrotting ways, he kind of makes for a feckless boyfriend. He's sweet and cool and then he has to run off to Algeria and owling a girlfriend seems like too much effort. Open to some exes from that. He means well, but yeah.

He's friendly and outgoing, but in Ravenclaw fashion he loves to break down things to their parts and to see things from other angles. He likes having contrary opinions, so he was the Founding/Sole Member of the Cuthbert Binns Appreciation Society.

He can be found dancing to muggle hip hop and dance music, talking about all the cool cultural quirks he's learned about, collecting weird objects and discussion the latest episode of Time Turner's Tales from the WWN. Wilhemina is his favorite character. Reginald does not deserve her.

I'm up for any sort of plot with him! Friends? Fellow cursebreakers? His younger sister? Exes? Potential patient love interests?? GIVE IT TO ME NOW!! J/k but I would like it. <3 you all!

	Rolf has also travelled extensively and was recwntly injured and still recuperating, so they have that in common. I'm open to whatever :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Brilliant! They shall trade stories of their favorite sights! Though I think Rolf paid more attention to the flora/fauna than Eddie did, who most likes finding out what roosters say in each country and how they take their tea. He was scandalized the first time he went to the states and people told him they mostly drink coffee!

By the way, nice to meet you! I'm going to respond to your intro with the rest of my brood but I love new people! Feel free to hit me up on AIM: oliverwoodwood or by email if you prefer!

	Awesome :) nice to meet you too! I love messenger unless you want email. Just know I can occasionally be slow to respond. I added you (I think) and I'm gelseydutchwood. Look forward yo talking to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excellent! I love chatting and plotting on AIM, though I don't always go in for blast chats because I have a hard time keeping up lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-03 02:32 am UTC (link)
	No worries :) I'm pretty chill and anytime is good for me if I'm on, usually, barring my phone going nuts on me (hey it happens, heh). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't know that Eddie and Zacharias would have interacted much in the past, but hurray for another character! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-03 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Maybe not a ton, but he'd be nice, which, I bet Zacharias could use more nice people!! :D Says him. And me. Poor Zach, people think you're a dick, but I have a soft spot for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unspeakableness 2014-09-03 02:27 am UTC (link)
	lol He's like I'm not a dick, I'm just guarded and you'd be guarded too if your sister was plotting ways to kill you when you were barely able to walk lol But he'd appreciate the niceness, even if he might be wary of it at first because he tends to think people have ulterior motives and what not. Just give him time, Eddie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-03 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Well, Eddie is as far from ulterior motives as you can get. Dude does not care enough to be that shrewd. But he can bro down with the best of them. And he has really diverse interests and a need to just talk to people so there you go! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unspeakableness 2014-09-03 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Zacharias will honestly appreciate someone without ulterior motives when/if they get to a point that it comes up! Until then, obviously we can throw them together and see how they get along lol He doesn't listen to the wireless soaps, though, so I don't think there will be bonding over that, sadly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-03 03:05 am UTC (link)
	haha maybe not, but he also likes collecting weird things, facts about other cultures, muggle music, dancing, singing...he's diverse lol (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unspeakableness 2014-09-03 03:42 am UTC (link)
	lol I mostly just meant in regards to the post and being able to comment on it lol I promise I believed he had a lot of different interests! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	susanamybones 2014-09-03 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Okay so Susan - she likes what she sees and she'd like to get a slice of that. She'd also see the walls he's built around himself and be like "challenge accepted" Roger - I am definitely thinking they could have been friendly? Like same house, a bit of thrill seeking, mates?

Oh, you are not going to hear complaints from him. She's gorgeous. Just sorry when he sucks at the whole like, communication thing because he does. It's awful.

And yesss for friends! He thought Roger was aces and loved cheering him on in quidditch and wishes he was good on a broom but he is decidedly not. Adventure seeking FTW! He says they could try spelunking! Or sky diving!

	She'll totally win him over and tie him down :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With rope? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, with rope. Also her boobs. Her boobs have amazing power. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I think we've covered Charlie, but he'd be happy to share travel and dragon stories. And if he'd like to suggest adventurous activities that work with most of a leg missing at some point he'd be all for that.

As for Dean I don't think he'd know him much outside the pub. Wrong house, wrong year. I don't think he'd be too annoyed by him though, so happily serving drinks and a little chat. *shrug* Dean is being an unhelpful muse right now.

	upstander 2014-09-03 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	He says he sees that as a challenge and naturally accepts! Hey, knowing in the pub is okay by him! He'll regale anyone who listens with stories! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	openbottle 2014-09-03 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	Woo. Seamus and Dominic will both pester him for Cursebreaking stories (that they will then retell to others with added extravagances). Dominic was two years below him in school but would remember him a bit. Lucy, as per, has no idea who anyone is. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-03 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	They are welcome to do so! He won't embellish much because he doesn't add much, so they can be ridiculous when they retell. He requires they make him more handsome when they do! Aww, well, he'll be friendly when she comes round at least. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I think we've pretty much covered all of the peeps, but I'm tired, so just to make sure:

He and Ali dated and that was years ago, so I'd think they were on pretty good terms by now (she kinda disappeared into Healing and things, so he probably wasn't the only one to be kind of distant, but it was fun while it lasted) :D

He and Melinda were in the same house, same year, so she would know him and not take offense of the distance.

And apparently Rose appears to have a kind of bratty little sister relationship with him, which I think is going to be fun. Not to worry, she's serious and focused when she works.

Yes?

(Reply to this) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-03 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, love it, he thinks Rosie is the best, like his little sister part II. She should be friends with his little sister and gang up on him. All the rest I love <3 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rose_ 2014-09-03 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Hee, I love it. I had to check his profile again, but his sister is 3 years younger than him, right? That would make her 2 years older than Rose, but they could still be friend. I have this mental image of his sister stopping by his desk and her and Rose just clicking immediately to make his life just that touch harder... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dark_blaise 2014-09-04 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Blaise may know him since he talked with Ravenclaws. Your call. Hermione has traveled some and actually misses it. She likely knows him because he dated Alicia. It would be funny if she caught them once in the halls during prefect rounds. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I think he would like joking around with Blaise. Eddie doesn't really give a shit so long as you weren't a marked DE and even then he's all about second chances and would just probably give you a harder time. So, sure, friendly!

Hermione gave him a detention and broke up his brain elixer selling ring, so she knew of him at least. Feel free to have her have caught them before! He says she's smart, and probably wishes he was as good as she is in Runes (that damn difference in a stroke!)

	Blaise doesn't joke around. It will be fun to watch him get annoyed. I totally forget little facts like that. Yay for you remembering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-04 02:42 am UTC (link)
	It's the entirety of his canon, so I'd be wise to know it haha (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weasley_now 2014-09-04 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Yes, you would. That's the one thing about playing one of the big three is the fact that there are so many things you can't literally remember them all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-04 02:46 am UTC (link)
	hah yes indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey Sarah again! We're talking Eddie & Vikesh in the other thread, but for my other 3:

Percy: Would actually have appreciated the Cuthbert Binns Appreciation Society, but probably not gotten why Eddie created it, thinking it instead was an appreciation for wizarding history.

Ernie: A year below, mediwizard, and friendly as all hell. Would be a definite listener of Time Turner's Tales, so there's always chatting that! Beware, he's a hopeless romantic.

Gemma: Probably wouldn't have had much opportunity to interact in the past, but totally up for future meetings!

(Reply to this) (Thread)

	upstander 2014-09-04 02:43 am UTC (link)
	lol oh Percy. It's possible he didn't realize that Eddie is just a bit of a bastard. But he would let him join anyway! Aww Ernie, they should discuss all the things but Eddie would just shake his head because he is unfortunately a manchild who can't commit. Future things sounds good! (Reply to this) (Parent)
