Hello Everyone!

My name is Dea and I'm a newbie to your game. I'm bringing with me Fleur Weasley who you probably already know from the books. She's still happily married to Bill, the mother to Victoire and Dominique and a working cursebreaker. Her English has vastly improved after living and working in England so long, but sometimes she plays up her ignorance and accent to get out of things she doesn't want to do. To her friends she is loyal and caring, to strangers she is nice but can also seem abrupt and even snotty. She doesn't always mean to be condescending, but she's blunt, honest and doesn't always know how to soften her sentiments. She's a member of the dueling club at Finnigans and tries to get to yoga, but fails 90% of the time.

I would love to talk plot and look forward to playing with all of you!

Hi Dea! We've talked briefly, I'm Jasmine, and I have three kids here.

We've talked about Viktor (

snitch_snatcher). I see them as having kept touch and are pretty close friends. I can also see playdates for the two of them with the kids, for Tsvetanka is just 7 and so close in age to Victoire. Mikhail is not quite 1.5. He also speaks decent French. I'm open to almost anything there.

I also have Rolf Scamander (

outofthewild), grandson of the famous Newt Scamander, and his family owns The Bestiary, which can supply all of your familiar and pet needs, as well as said familiars and pets. He's a Hufflepuff, and the boyfriend of another curse breaker, Rose Zeller. So they could meet through that, or the shop, or random. He's friendly and helpful and doesn't mind children in the shop at all.

And lastly, I have Pandora Montgomery (this journal). She was a Slytherin a year above Harry, a prefect at the time, and I can see her having talked with the Beauxbatons girls. So perhaps something there. Her CS is probably best to hit up as it is hard to summarize, but long story short, she was forced to be a DE to save her family, is currently a Charms mistress at the shop Inside and Out, and trying to hold herself together after everythign that happened during the war.

Welcome! I look forward to playing with you. Feel free to hit me up via email or IM anytime.

	Hello again! She absolutely adores Viktor and has him over constantly. She might know Rolf if she has ever stopped in with the kids! Fleur would have happily talked to other students, when she wasn't preparing for a task. She might have been a bit brisk to talk to, but she wouldn't have been dismissive.

	Viktor is all, yay. He loves to teach kids about animals :) Dora can be occasionally as well, but she likes to discuss spells. Oh! And also, she competed a bit back on the dueling circuit and did very well, and occasionally pops into the Dueling club. :D:D (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey Dea! I'm Mercy, and I have Orla Quirke (this journal) and Zacharias Smith (

unspeakableness). Orla's a beater for the Montrose Magpies, and Zacharias is an Unspeakable and a member of the Committee on Experimental Charms. Sadly, I don't know that either would have had much past interactions with her, especially since the only time they ever saw her was during the Tri Wizard Tournament. BUt! They're both open for random interactions and plotting!

Welcome to the game!

Hi Dea! Welcome to the game! I'm Dylan :) and I have three kids to play with:

First I have Susan

susanamybones she's the same age as the trio and works as an Auror with Harry. I'm not sure what past interaction there would be, but she does speak French if that helps at all, and she's very sociable and friendly so I think there's room for interaction?

Second I have Roger

rogeringdavies she may remembering him as the guy she dated during the Yule Ball who was totally mesmerised by her? He's a Quidditch player for Appleby now and is kind of in love with fellow chaser Marcus Wood - but I'm totally open to lots of different interactions? Maybe they kept in touch, maybe they didn't, anything and everything is great!

Third I have Dennis

dennisthebrave I have no idea what interactions they may have had in the past but in the future Dennis is totally up for anything. He's a gay journalist with a tragic love-life so you know any interaction he has is great.

	Hi Dylan! Fleur would love to speak French with Susan. I'm also all for random interactions with Dennis. Of course she remembers Roger! Very fondly in fact. I'd love it if they kept in touch and remained friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hello, I'm Christie and I have three kids here.

Blaise Zabini remembers her from the Tri-Wizard Tournament but doesn't really know her though he likely did gawk a little back in the day.

Hermione Granger absolutely adores her. She's good for Bill and Hermione still feels she owes her so much for those days after Malfoy Manor. I've always envisioned that Fleur was the one that would have nursed her right after the curses and made she she was alright.

Marietta Edgecombe also knows of her and likely talked to her at the Yule Ball since she did take Roger after all.

	Hi Christie! I love your backstory with Hermione and would love to adopt it. Yay for knowing Marietta and she appreciates the past gawking, Blaise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course you may adopt it. They should have girl times together. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi Dea, welcome to the game. I'm Caroline and I have three characters.

This is Charlie, her brother in law. He's back in London and has opened a club thanks to losing part of his right leg to a venomous dragon bite. I imagine he likes her a lot, and adores her children. He's pretty good with children as long as he remembers not to swear!

Dean Thomas (

artistdean) has a pretty heavy (but well managed) dose of PTSD. He's a trained artist and works part time at the pub. He remembers her from the Triwizard and Shell Cottage, and likes her a lot. Trusts her more than some people I imagine.

Gwenog Jones (

haveyoumet_) is probably of least significance. She's an abrasive, flirtatious, prickly Beater and Captain for the Holyhead Harpies. Probably doesn't know her at all.

	Hi Caroline! She's obviously know and love Charlie. She's terribly sorry about his leg, but battle wounds only make the Weasley men stronger. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Welcome to the game! I'm Kaylie, the mod, and I have five characters, somehow...

1. Seamus Finnigan, who runs the pub and is generally friendly and outgoing and up for interaction of any kind.

2. Dominic Chambers, pub handyman, he was a Ravenclaw one year younger than the trio, finds Fleur gorgeous but will totally respect her marriage vows and not make a move - though he may flirt or compliment.

3. Lucy Spinks, working in the muggle world, was a Hufflepuff in Harry's year. I can't imagine she'd know Fleur at all yet, but they can always bump into each other.

4. Gregory Goyle, working in George Weasley's shop at the minute so there's an excuse right there for Fleur to run into him. I'd be curious to see how he'd deal with her veela charms.

5. Bryony Capper, pureblood, Ravenclaw, artist. Also likely to be utterly mesmerised by Fleur and want to draw her.

I will add you to the cast list etc in the next few days, I promise. I'm still trying to catch up after surprise-birthday events.

	Hi Kaylie! The more the merrier. No rush at all! <3 She'll know Seamus from the pub and thinks it's a fine establishment. Don't worry, Dominic, she still appreciates compliments. I'm sure she brings her kids to George's shop, so she'll definitely know his face! We'll figure out things for Lucy and Bryony! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi Dea, welcome to the game :)

I'm Kat, and I have 4 peeps here:

Alicia Spinnet (technically it's Fawley, but she still goes by Spinnet -

_alicia_) - Gryffindor, 2 years older than the trio, and friends with George and later Percy. She's the single (widowed) mother of Liam and Isla (twins, 6 this December), dating Adrian Pucey, part-time Healer for Pride of Portree, and co-founder of the Fawley Foundation (and there's a charity thing this Saturday. Non-romantic dates are raffled off, so.... yes? It should be fun).

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, 1 year older than the trio, friends with Cho, Marietta, and Roger, so she may know Fleur through that (she definitely remembers her). Melinda owns and run Sweet Nothings, the pâtisserie in Monument Alley (there will be a menu eventually, but assume that if there's a cake, pastry or dessert that you want, she'll either have it or make it... except macarons). She's dating Oliver Wood.

Finbar Quigley (

_finbar_) - Ravenclaw, several years older than the trio... he was in the year between Bill and Charlie, Beater and Captain for Ballycastle Bats and the Irish National Team. He's an alright guy who loves the limelight, though is keeping the true extent of his ex-wife's insanity from the press - he recently moved to London after she burned his house down. Long story. But he's nice.

and last but not least:
Rose Zeller (

_rose_) - Hufflepuff, 4 years younger than the trio, and Cursebreaker. She's just started her last year of training, moving from basic training at the bank to go on missions with the team that works out of the London branch (and is returning from Indonesia today). All depending on how Fleur is working at the bank, Rose may know her... Well, I'm sure she knows who she is, may have had a crush on her at some point, because she likes pretty things (though she's crazy in love with Rolf, so that would have put a damper on it). Anyway, all depending on how well they know each other Fleur may or may not be aware of Rose's issues with her family.

That got long, my apologies. Great to have you in game! ... and your AIM handle looks *very* familiar.

Hi Kat! I've been around HP RP for ages, so we might have been in a game together before!

She might know Alicia through the twins! Not sure if she'd know Melinda, but probably recognizes her! That year was pretty hectic for her. Although she probably is a fan of her shop now. Sadly I'm not sure she'd know Finbar. Fleur is a fellow cursebreaker so she certainly knows Rose!

	_rose_ 2014-10-09 09:09 am UTC (link)
	That could very well be :) Yes, for knowing Alicia through the twins (both the Weasley twins (although I guess that would only be George now) and her own twins) - Alicia could use more girl friends. And we should definitely talk Rose and Fleur at some point, just to figure out how they work and all that :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey Dea! Before I begin, here's my handy dandy list of character bio links because I'm lazy ;)

Percy: We talked briefly in chat about Percy and Fleur. He adores her, is terribly sorry he beat her and Bill to the grandchild punch, and is very happy that Fleur is teaching Lucy to speak French.

Ernie: My Hufflepuff healer, he's just generally friendly and genial and an all-around good guy. Remembers Fleur from the Tournament, though he was one of the few immune to her charms (though I think he had major flirtation with at least one of the Beauxbatons boys lol).

Gemma: My black market spa keeper, would love to get Fleur in her chair to give her a new look, and would definitely fall victim to Veela charms ;)

Vikesh: Beater for the Ballycastle Bats, very spiritual and teaches yoga and meditation.

Welcome Dea!

	I respect the links. <3 So excited for Fleur and Percy! She adores him just as much. I can't wait to see her interact with your other kids, too! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello, Dea! I'm Angel. Do you pronounce that as Dee, Dee-uh, or Day-uh? I'm just curious. :D

Hooray for Fleur! Millicent would know of her from Fourth Year, and probably know by now that she's married into the Weasley clan, but other than that, I'm not sure they would have crossed each other's paths with any sort of purpose. Mils speaks French rather well and is currently trying to convince Pandora to go to Paris for a day of shopping, so she and Fleur have the language (and a love of Paris?) in common, at least. But randoms can be good, if you'd like to go that route.

Welcome to the group!

	Hi Angel! It's actually short for Deana (Dee-nuh) so Dea would be correct! People always shortened it so I sort of adopted it over time. ;) I love randoms and Fleur appreciates ANYONE who can speak French. She knows how hard it is to use a second language with native speakers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Very pretty! I totally understand the impulse to just go with it. ;)

The woman Mils thought was her mother (best explained in her CS) was quite the fan of France, so Mils learned the language, though I'd place good money on it being Parisian French that she speaks. That may make her a little shy about conversing, if Fleur speaks a different dialect (without even going into the background she has with the younger Weasleys or younger members of the Order!). I look forward to seeing what we can devise. :)

Hello and welcome. Terry here with Richard Summerby, the Hufflepuff who took over Cedric's position on the house Quidditch team after the TriWizard. His mother is French, so he's fluent enough in that language to speak with either a Parisian accent or that of someone from Marseilles.

He of course knows who Fleur is. Might they be distant cousins on his mother's side. He's also rather fond of children.

If nothing else, always up for random.

Welcome to the game! I'm Natasha and I've got three:

Lavender Brown - Hit Wizard and general sweetheart who runs the Duelling Club at Finnigan's. She would have been quite impressed by/admiring of Fleur during the Triwizard because she was the only girl competing. Like Fleur's husband, she was also attacked by Fenrir Greyback.

Bryn Cadwallader - A Hufflepuff a year older than the Trio. He was a good friend of Cedric's but probably wouldn't really know Fleur, though he works behind the bar at Finnigan's and also at Sweet Nothings, so he's one of those faces people tend to see around.

Emma Dobbs - A baby Hufflepuff who works in the Monument Alley sex shop, Quickpulse, and also as an escort.

Hello!! This is Anick with my 2 boys!

Neville would know of Fleur by reputation. The Tournament and all that :) He was always a little impressed by her and damn!! Bill's a lucky man, he says. Mr Neville is an dissatisfied Auror and I'm open to plotting.

Justin Finch-Fletchley- Former Hufflepuff, Mediwizard at St.Mungo's, he's half-French. His grandfather Spencer Finch, is an English gentleman who married a French lady from the upper crust. They had 2 daughters and the oldest married the 3rd son of an Aristocrat gentleman (Jonathan Fletchley). So he does speak the language. Haha.

Hello there Dea! I'm Jinx, and I am late to this welcoming party, but I've got two kids here.

This here is Marcus Flint, and he has no idea who Fleur is, most likely. Marcus was a Death Eater during the war because his father blackmailed him into it, and then spent four years in Azkaban after the final battle. Nowadays he plays Chaser for the Appleby Arrows.

I also have Stacey Rivers (

pinkyink) who owns a tattoo parlor in Monument Alley and the engery level of a puppy on seven shots of espresso. She does yoga all the time, so they could have run into one another there.

Look forward to writing with you!
