Hey friends! I'm Emily, and Bill Weasley is here to enchant .

BOOM, SUCH ENCHANTING.

Bill is the eldest child of the Weasley horde, a former Gryffindor, married to Fleur, and currently the Deputy Head of International Cursebreaking with Gringotts (so fancy). He's a laid back sort of guy (fatherhood hasn't changed that), and he's generally friendly-- except for certain times in the lunar cycle. He's suffered more effects from being attacked by Fenrir Greyback than anybody aside from Fleur (and probably Charlie) really knows about, but he's determined to deal with it on his own. He loves his family more than life itself, but he's also still working on finding a proper balance between his girls and an advancing career.

For plotting purposes:
• Weasleys! Throw anything and everything Bill's way. He's always been an attentive, nonjudgmental listener, and making sure that his siblings are healthy and happy is very important to him.
• Co-workers and colleagues! Cursebreakers are bound to have encountered him at work at some point, and he's known to show his face around the Ministry/Dept. of International Magical Cooperation for meetings. He loves talking about the time he spend working with Egypt, and would be happy to take a cursebreaker with similar interests under his wing.
• Order members! Bill's pretty private about his feelings regarding things that happened in the war, but there are just some things that he's not comfortable sharing with family. It'd be great to have long-term friends who can share experiences with him.
• Any other idea you can toss at him!

Bill's information is here. You can email me at coffeebeandream [at] gmail [dot] com or find me on AIM at coffeebeandream. I'm really looking forward to playing here!

Hi Emily, 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, later Percy, and I think Fleur, too. She's the single (widowed) mother of Liam and Isla (twins, 6 this December, born in 1998), 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). Like with Fleur and Percy, she may know Bill through the twins as well, because I think that until the Final Battle, she would have only heard of him, and I'm not sure how much she actually remembers from that night.

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, 1 year older than the trio. 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, and other than as a customer, I don't think she would know who Bill is. She's sweet, though, very sweet.

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. He's friends with Charlie, so Bill might also know him, or of him.

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 (returned from Indonesia yesterday - Wednesday). If Rose was the fangirl type, which she isn't, Bill would definitely be the object of her fanishness. She does, however, look up to him, because Bill? Yeah, he's pretty much a legend, right? I don't know how you see his position (workwise) in relations to the trainees, but he may have been the recipient of not quite friendly Owls from Rose's parents, encouraging him to boot her from the program. Long story. Would love to talk and work things out there :)

Hey, Kat!

I love that there are multiple ways for Bill to know people now. With Alicia, there's the connection with his siblings, but also their kids! The Fawley Foundation is a cool idea-- I'd love for Bill to be able to contribute in some way.

As for Fin, I would love it if he and Bill could be friends! Maybe they were friendly during school, but have sort of reconnected in the time since Bill's been living back in England or after the war? Either that, or it'd be interesting if the two of them know one another, but just sort of rub one another the wrong way. What're your thoughts?

Rose! I'm so excited for another cursebreaker! Cursebreakers are Bill's tribe-- they just get it. As for his position at Gringotts, I see him as the guy who oversees international missions due to his past experience. He spends most of his time in London managing things, but I could see him taking port keys once a week to check on various important projects. So maybe he and Rose have had some field experience together? As for Rose's parents, Bill would never discourage anybody from becoming a cursebreaker unless he knew that person would be putting themselves in a danger that they weren't capable of handling.

I know! It's great, and that goes for me too, for all of my characters. As for Bill contributing, well right now there's the fundraiser on Saturday, which is nice and concrete, otherwise, Alicia usually announces for volunteers when it's needed and you're alway welcome to come up with ideas if there's anything you'd like to see him do or involved in.

Fin's generally an easy-going guy, so I haven't a clue how he would react to Bill... who also seems easy going. So yep, he would know who Bill is, and then we can try them out see how they get along before deciding if they're friends or buddies or rub each other the wrong way. I am good with either, sometimes it's just difficult to predict.

Oh, I'm excited about more Cursebreakers too! So far she's "only" had Eddie Carmichael and they... bicker. lol. Rose has only just started travelling, as in she finished basic training at the bank this summer and has so far only been on two missions, and just returned from Indonesia this Wednesday. When it comes to Rose's parents... no, I didn't expect Bill to have tried to discourage her, but they're not happy about her chosen profession (as very theoretical historians they find Cursebreaking sometihng akin to raping history, and have been trying to convince her to stop - which is the only one-way communication she's had with them since she was 14... long story). What I'm trying to get at is, that Bill may know about her background, which she is very, very private about, though she's very open about just about anyhting else.
