Dennis Finnigan Creevey
Hello boys and girls and others, it's your friendly neighbourhood Dylan bringing you Dennis Finnigan Creevey!

Gryffindor, 21 years old, Gay (because this game needed more of the gay)
He's a journalist working the Crime and Justice beat at the Daily Prophet
He writes under the pseudonym Finn Collins
His brother's death has HUGELY affected him. Make a joke about Colin Creevey and you may find yourself cursed.
He is a complete daredevil with a sometimes scary lack of regard for his own wellbeing, so any daredevils where you at?
He's more curious than a bag full of cats
His ex-boyfriend left him for his now ex-best friend and he's pretty torn up about it - especially since they maintain that the cheating was all his fault for working so much. It's kind of shattered his confidence with men
He's willing to play with pretty much anyone, but if you're a dark wizard or a criminal he doesn't have the time of day for you. Although he has come to the conclusion that not every Death Eater was there by choice
Open to any and all storylines - antagonistic, friendly, flirty, unrequited affections, work friends, someone who he should hate but doesn't. ANYTHING.

Seamus can't decide whether to be outraged or amused that Dennis totally stole his name. I kind of imagine that after Colin's death the older Gryffindors would have made sure to be... around? Try to fill that big brother role? So Dennis totally got like, a dozen spare big brothers and sisters. And at least one of them also has experience with being gay and coming out so Seamus and Dennis could have bonded over that. Maybe Seamus got him drunk the first time, and took him to gay clubs in London, etc? He also thinks Dennis should come to Battlescars but he doesn't pressure people into that.

Dominic and Dennis were a year apart at school but would likely know each other from Seamus / Finnigan's. Dominic offers to take him for rides in his car and will also be his wing man, if he wants (Seamus is crap at that).

Lucy probably won't remember him, sorry.

Greg has vague memories of him/Colin as 'that annoying Gryffindor kid'. He may or may not realise they were two separate people. He definitely doesn't particularly care. Nowadays he doesn't like people who ask too many questions and he doesn't trust reporters, so expect much glowering. Uhm, it would be hilarious if Dennis thought Goyle was hot and got all shy around him and Greg was just oblivious? But maybe that wouldn't work because, you know, Greg has bad associations.

In the meantime, have this:

Dennis is totally down for Seamus to be one of his big brothers. I can see him just flumping on Seamus (because taller) and demanding affection or cuddles in a totally brotherly fashion. No crush on Seamus, just brotherly love.

Oooh wingman would be cool, also Dennis might have a teeny crush on Dominic but shhhhh.

Lucy!

Dennis might find Greg hot but still hate him a little bit?

	Excellent. Seamus might grumble a bit about all his friends being so goddamn tall, but other than that he is good with brotherly affection and cuddles. Oooh, yay! Because Dominic totally does not do relationships, so a crush on him has lots of plot potential. Okay! Greg is indifferent to Dennis's hatred and oblivious to his attraction.

	Dennis: schmoops bonelessly onto Seamus He'd also be down for Battlescars I think? I think that would be so much fun! Specifically if he falls a bit hard and Dominic is jut lol no. Poor Greg, Dennis will be polite at least? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	openbottle 2014-09-12 02:12 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome, yay battlescars. Ooh, or what if Dominic slept with him not realising there were feelings and then felt bad when Dennis was all pining and sad? Meh. Greg doesn't care. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	We've already chatted so yay! Dennis! Rolf is looking forward to hanging out and all the things! He will definitely be very sympathetic over the break up as he had a really bad one a couple years ago that still smarts a bit. And he's happy to be Dennis' friend! Yay plotting and fun! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-12 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	Friends! Yes I think Dennis will see lots of Rolf on account of living with Rose? Definitely another brotherly replacement for him! What plots do you reckon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-12 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Well I'm largely operating on what we've talked about, but good tight guy friends, Dennis having a kinda crush on him, definitely a bond about Rose, all that kind of thing. I'm just awake so I'm rather muzzy but that's what I remember just off the top. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-12 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Totally awesome. Very much looking forward here :) and Rolf can always use more friends. Though I have a vision of him as they get closer, flailing his hands at Dennis and telling him to stop scaring the years off of him with his daring do or he'll have a heart attack before he's 23 lolol (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hey hey. I am horrible at responding to these things with anything other than the basic one liner. Blaise likely ignores him. Hermione loves him dearly and supports him 100% in all his endeavors. Marietta doesn't really know him but will be polite should they cross paths. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-12 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	Dennis would think Blaise is hot, but ignore him as well. Hermione, Dennis loves Hermione! Excellent DA associations and friendly and let's plot about shared Muggle heritage and being awesome bamfs and yessss. Likewise with Dennis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weasley_now 2014-09-12 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Blaise refuses to accept that. Hermione is not a bamf she just did what she had to to survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-13 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	XD well Blaise may just have to get used to it. Unfortunately Dennis is a tad in awe of Hermione (and Harry, and Ron) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dark_blaise 2014-09-15 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	Blaise will never get used to that. In fact he's liable to hex any bloke that actively tries to hit on him. No reason to be in awe of Hermione. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-15 12:57 pm UTC (link)
	OH! No Dennis wouldn't hit on Blaise. He'd just find him hot. I thought you meant the ignoring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dark_blaise 2014-09-15 01:00 pm UTC (link)
	As long as Dennis doesn't make his thoughts clear Blaise definitely ignores. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-15 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	God no, hitting on someone that doesn't appreciate being hit on is the epitome of grossness. I don't know if I could even write that if I wanted to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dean: Likes him just fine. He might get twitchy about him cuddling Seamus for no reason at all, nope. Remembers him from DA, likes serving him, is friendly that sort of thing. Charlie: Didn't really know him through school obviously, but will happily welcome him to the club whenever. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	rogeringdavies 2014-09-12 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Dean: Dennis would try and cuddle Dean as well, show that he's an equal opportunities bromancer. Charlie: I think Dennis would really like Charlie? Older Gryffindor thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	artistdean 2014-09-12 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Dean can accept cuddles, but cautiously, if he pleases. Charlie honestly likes most not-twats, so that's all good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-13 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	Dennis is patient and used to people with PTSD, so he'll be careful around Dean. Charlie is a well okay lad. (Reply to this) (Parent)

DENNIS!! [insert Rose pouncing on him here]

So, obviously Rose adores Dennis and has since her 6th year. It has been decided.

Alicia is slightly offended that one of the very few people actually shorter than her in DA is now so tall that she needs a step-stool to pinch his cheek. Seriously, though, Alicia has nothing but respect and maybe a little protective streak when it comes to Dennis, if she recognises now that he's towering over her like he is.

Melinda, uhm, don't think she'd know him from school, but may recognise him as a customer.

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-12 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	ROSE THE ROOMY! Yes, I even have a Rose/Dennis icon to show their friendship. I thought ahead. Yeah girl. Dennis would love, love, love Alicia and come to her for magical motherly advice or to bleat about boy troubles or to help out in the charity transporting kids, talking to Muggle families etc. Dennis demands friendship with the Cake Queen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_rose_ 2014-09-12 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	DENNIS THE D... crap, my thesaurus isn't supplying a supercool D word here, so DENNIS THE DREAMBOAT! He looks so serious, though, but LOVE THE ICON!! Ali's home and office is always open and Dennis would be such a delight for her, I'm sure :D Melinda says "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!" and grants Dennis the friendship.

2014-09-13 10:14 pm UTC (link)

No, Rose adores Dennis and doesn't think him a menace (except when he is, of course). Maybe something more like DISHY DENNIS or, yeah, no, I'm still drawing blanks here this close to midnight. It will come, and it will come in the middle of a tag when it will make sense! Also, now that I've read that part about what went down with his boyfriend, would that be how he and Rose ended up flatmates?

He's very welcome. Been thinking that since he's involved with the Foundation work, could his parents (as parents of Muggleborns) be part of that network that the Foundation has in the Muggleworld? That would be pretty brilliant :)

YESSSSSSSSS, cake!

YAY DENNIS

Lisa - I don't think she'd remember him, but she'd like him if they meet/he comes into the bookshop. Friendsies?

Pansy - Don't see these two getting along, but that's fun too!

Ben - Ben's several years older than Dennis, but if he comes into the bar he'd be friendly as anything!

Harry - He still feels guilty about Colin, and might have a big-brotherish outlook on Dennis? idk idk we should talk.

	Dennis is a reader so let's put Lisa and Dennis down for a meeting in the bookshop/spazzing over books? Ben - ACCIDENTAL GAY SEX AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER. Harry - crush/brotherly feelings???? Pansy - blows raspberry at her (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zenben 2014-09-12 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Lisa: YES!! Spazzing over books is a good thing! Ben: OKAY. BEN IS ALWAYS UP FOR SEXY TIMES. Harry: yasssss. Pansy: sneers (Reply to this) (Parent)

HE'S HOT.

Cormac is more than willing to take his mind off the boyfriend anytime. In the meantime, there's flirting, drinking, sports, and mindless blather than can be talked about if he likes. Because he's very pretty and Cormac likes pretty things. Plus, Mac may be older, but they were both Gryffindors, right?
Adrian probably doesn't even know who he is, but there are potions to be sold!
Romi also finds him hot but understand she's not his type. If he's super heart-broken, she'd be willing to give him a discount on a nice male escort :)
Cho remembers him, and is very sorry about his brother even after this time. If he ever wants to commiserate about losing people in the war, Cho's great for that. She also really loves the Prophet so she reads his stuff!

	dennisthebrave 2014-09-13 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	Cormac: Distractions from his boyfriend with a sexy man person would be great. Though he'd have to get Dennis drunk to get him to stop stuttering and getting tongue tied. Potions, a daredevil always needs potions! LMAO he might like Romi actually. He wouldn't do an escort but he'd find the process interesting. COME AT ME CHO, FRIENDSHIP TIMES (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yay Dennis! I adore the Creevey boys (am still not over Colin dude!).

Ernie: Fellow DA member, would have totally joined the 'take Dennis in as a little brother' club - though would have gladly let others do a good part of the work if only because he needed to focus on Justin's reacovery post-Azkaban. Ernie's also someone who'd have offered Dennis someone to talk to about his mental health especially after he started at St. Mungo's, so there's that. He also came out to his friends/DA peeps, etc near the end of school (6th year or so I'd guess, officially or unofficially), so feel free to connect with him on that!

Percy: Fellow Gryffindor, though not much connection beyond that. However, he would avidly read the Crime and Justice pieces and probably knows the name Finn Collins more than Dennis Creevey.

Gemma: Before Dennis' time, for sure ;) But hey, if he ever wants a makeover, a new hairstyle, a nice massage, or an illegal broom, she's right on the Alley ;)

Vikesh: Probably no connection so far, but am up for making some!

Ernie: I am liking all these Ernie ideas, especially since he's basically suffering from depression at the moment.

Percy: We could have an amusing thing where Percy interacts with him as Dennis and then him as Finn Collins?

Gemma: Illegal is baaaaad *frowny face from Dennis* though he'd probably like her fair enough as she's not doing anything to really hurt others. He's also preternaturally good at winning bets so...

Vikesh: Dennis thinks she's cute and flees.

Ernie: Awesome! Poke me anytime :D

Percy: Love it! And acts completely different with both of them, and do the whole Clark KEnt/Superman thing.

Gemma: She's not out to hurt anyone, not even with the crup fighting - it's all business to her, some she inherited more than others. Would love to play on the bet winning one day - maybe she might take on another business one day or go in with someone?

Vee: Will take it as a compliment but think Dennis should seriously consider taking up yoga ;)

YAY! ANOTHER REPORTER! Ginny is a sports reporter at the Prophet. She covers the Harpies and Bats. She also has a nickname JUST at the Prophet, of Spike. Everyone there calls her that because of her hair; Ginny doesn't mind because it makes her more than a Weasley.

This is Padma, she'd be nice to Dennis. She has an Apothecary on Monument Alley, and another in Hogsmeade.

Last is Sally Smith, a non-DE Slytherin from Harry's year. She has very nuanced views on blood purity, that are mostly anthropological, but those aren't widely known at all. She doesn't like to admit her House, so if she ran across Dennis, she'd be friendly. She probably knows him better as Finn Collins.

HI!

Dennis and Ginny would definitely get on with Ginny/Spike I think? There could definitely be some friendly jocular rivalry between them: "Oh pfft write some proper journalism Spike"

I think Dennis would like Padma - I don't remember if she was DA, but he's always getting into scrapes and needing potions so room for interaction there?

I think there could be room for fun interactions with Sally as well?

	"It is proper journalism. People care about sports. They don't care about whatever it is you're writing about." She was DA! She'd be happy to help! Sally would be very fun, since she's a Slytherin semi-purist. (Reply to this) (Parent)
