*waves*

Well, I am Meg. I bring to you Julienne (Jules, Julie) Dorny. Former Slytherin turned PR guru. After the war she retreated to France (and her fraternal twin brother) to move on. An ill father has brought them both back. (If ANYONE wants to pick up her brother for awesome times - you are my hero.) She can still have the occasional night terror from that but for the most part is a bright, flirty young woman who is setting up her own business and trying to keep her brother and father from driving her around the bend.

Plots - she needs them all! Friends, Enemies, Frienemies, Ex's (there is a guy that has been on and off for ages that awkwardness would be hilarious since the last time she MIGHT have left him while he was on a business trip - with no note.) She has trust issues, works too much and needs to be drug out and made to socialize.

You can find me on AIM at MegWrt, or by email at megschaos at gmail.

I am REALLY looking forward to playing with all of you!

OMG A RIVAL!

Hi I'm Jess, and I have Pansy, also a PR guru/marketing expert/sometimes agent all rolled into one arrogant, difficult to get along with independent woman. She and Jules should either be best friends (and maybe go into business together? idk idk), or hate each other. With Pansy there is no in between.

I also have Harry Potter, Lisa Turpin, Ben Stebbins and Terry Boot, all of whom would be friendly and I'm up for any sorts of plots! :)

	ohh i just read her CS, and has she just moved back to England? Perhaps she approaches Pansy about working in her firm? They can do it Mad Men style, only with class and pizzazz instead of misogyny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey Meg! I'm Tina, I have...

Adrian Pucey: He'd have been two years above her in school and as a fellow Slytherin he already likes her :) We can have them be friends if you like? He's also close with Blaise and Draco.

Romilda "Romi" Vane: Romi likes her, she's flirty and fun and really pretty, so Romilda is a couple years younger and a Gryffindor but would love to be friends.

Chris Summers: Older Hufflepuff and generally a sarcastic meanie, I don't know that they'd get along. But Chris is always out and about so a run in could be fun :)

Cormac "Mac" MacLaggen: Mac likes everyone, even Ron Weasley at this point, so they could easily be friendly!

Cho Chang: Cho needs to get to know Slytherins to get over old fears, to be honest, and Julie not being around has probably prevented that from happening. BUT Cho also runs her own business, Charming Parties (event planning throughout the magical UK) and so they have a lot in common.

	Hi Tina! Oh, she TOTALLY needs friends! The more the merrier! I think she and Adrian, Romi and Mac would be fun! Julie grew up with a twin brother and an older brother - she can hold her own Chris...I think a run in could be interesting. Cho - she promises she doesn't bite. Really.

I think Romilda and she have been owl'ing since the war ended? To keep up a school-time cross-House friendship? Because that way Romi is, like, super excited to have to her childhood bestie back, you know? Plus, she's going to want to hire Jules for PR for the shop :)

And Adrian's family also fled after he took his NEWTs, so I imagine they've kept in touch as well? I can see him seeing her a bit as a little sister (even if she's only a year or two younger, lol)?

I'd love to have her/Mac and her/Chris and her/Cho run into each other anytime!

Hi Meg :)

I'm Kat and I have

Alicia Fawley (nee Spinnet) - Gryffindor, 2 years older than Julienne. Widowed mother of (almost) 6-year old twins (Isla and Liam), part-time Healer for Pride of Portree and co-founder of The Fawley Foundation. Generally a friendly person, though may have her reservations about Julienne, all depending on Juliennen's (potential) friendship with Adrian who's Ali's boyfriend.

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, 1 year older than Julienne. Owns and run the pâtisserie Sweet Nothings, and she's really, really sweet. She gets along with everybody, to a certain point, at least, though that point is very hard to reach.

Rose Zeller (

_rose_) - Hufflepuff, 4 years younger than Julienne. Rose is a couple of months into her last year of training as a Cursebreaker. She loves people, doesn't trust them (except from very very few), so she'll talk and be friendly, but will leave you knowing nothing more about her than she wishs you to know.

Finbar Quigley (

_finbar_) - Ravenclaw, 7 years older than Julienne (I think). Beater and Captain for Ballycastle Bats and the Irish National Team. Recently relocated to London after his ex-wife burned down his house. Said ex-wife is a bit of a pr nightmare, and currently Pansy's the one dealing with everything that has to do with him and publicity.

Alicia you have nothing to fear - Jules REALLY isn't that kind of girl - she promises she can be friends without crossing lines. Really.

Melinda - Jules has a bit of a sweet tooth so I best she will be stopping in for a treat.

Rose sounds interesting! Having them run in to one other could prove interesting as Julie isn't the most trusting either.

Oh poor Finbar! She isn't trying to not laugh at the idea of a PR nightmare ex. Really she isn't.

Aww, Alicia isn't either, but I don't think she would know Julienne, so she may be a little hesitant at first. She is, however, always open for volunteers for the Foundation, so there is that, and I can see them getting along :)

Sweet Nothings will cater to that, so always welcome!

They should run into each other, it could be fun :)

Lol. Yeah, Finbar. The whole story is in his profile, and I'm still making up my mind whether he will have to sit out the remaining 3 years of separation before the divorce or if the ex will be deemed unfit at the time of marriage = annulled marriage. We'll see :P

	Jules is up for getting involved - Alicia just needs to point her in the right direction. Well, she wishes Finbar luck and promises she still isn't giggling. She promises. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey Meg!!!! I'm Anick and I have 3 boys in here all from the same Hogwarts year.

Neville Longbottom- Gryffindor, DA, Auror and very much the same guy he was at school.

Justin Finch-FLetchley- Hufflepuff, DA, Mediwizard at St.Mungo's (emergency room), very nice and friendly.

Michael Corner- Ravenclaw, DA, Potionmaker. Not quite as social as my other 2, but friendly enough.

	I can see Jules being nice to any of them while out and about. She may try and pull Michael out and about. Because no one can really say no to her for long. Her brother have been trying for years. I wish you luck Michael. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendlyjustin 2014-10-22 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	HAH! Michael isn't really that hard to convince, actually. When stressed he has a bit of a stutter or can have troubles coming up with words (damn those injuries) and he is a little reluctant to be social, but he can :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hi Meg! I'm Jasmine, and I have three for the moment (working on my fourth).

Pandora (this journal) will probably be most significant for her. She was a year above Julienne in Slyrherin, a prefect, and up for head girl in her time (though didn't get it because Slytherins rarely do). She was rather vindictive too but only when crossed. Her history is complicated so alas I recommend reading her app. They would definitely know each other though.

I also have Viktor Krum (snitch_snatcher), who she would likely remember from the tournament. He has a publicist which I'm willing to teplace with her, if you'd want, or even say it was her all along. We can talk.

Then I have Rolf Scamander who was two years under her in Hufflepuff who works at his family's shop thr Bestiary, for all your familiar needs. Open to whatever there.

Hi Jasmine and mystery fourth!

I love having her interact from people at Hogwarts - especially since she split to Paris after the War. Reconnecting would be great!

Having a client - especially Viktor would be a a great opportunity I am not sure she could pass up. Let me know!

She is looking for a cat - someone to listen better than her brother can. Rolph might see her yet.

The fourth is Imogene Boot, Terry's supposedly dead sister :)

I'd love to hash out a past connection - I have a feeling those two personalities might have clashed a bit.

We'll totally arrange it then :) I'll be on line later and we can talk.

Rolf would love to find her a cat. The Bestiary also runs an animal rescue, so there's a lot of variety.

My AIM gelseydutchwood and my email is awhisperinthewind at gmail dot com. Please feel free to hit me up anytime for plots (I love them!) Or just to chat!

Hi! I'm Natasha and I've got four characters.

Lavender Brown would probably know her from school, though even with that pesky Slytherin element Lav is all for giving people a fresh start (for lack of a better term) since the war. These days, she's a Hit Wizard.

Bryn Cadwallader was a Hufflepuff the year above. I don't think he'd really know her, but he works at Sweet Nothings and behind the bar at Finnigan's, so he's one of those people that just seems to be everywhere. He's very friendly.

Emma Dobbs is a younger Hufflepuff who works at Monument Alley's sex shop (and who is also an escort, shh). Probably wouldn't know Julienne, but she's friendly, loves Quidditch and shopping, so there's always potential.

Finally, Ron Weasley. Auror. I think he runs the chess club at Finnigan's. Dating Hermione Granger. I don't think he'd really know her.

	Hi! I am sure she will run into Bryn then for sure...possibly Emma and Lav too! Random interactions are the best! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi, Meg! I'm Angel, and I have Millicent Bulstrode. She's Julienne's year and House, so they would at least semi-know each other, I think -- if Julienne was friends with Pansy, then she was definitely in Millicent's social circle. :) They have a couple of interests in common, if I remember J's CS correctly, but I admit I had to scan it while I was out and about today. I promise to read it more in full when I have the chance tonight. ;)

I'm not always around on chat due to scheduling, but I would enjoy talking plots with you, so I will find a way to poke you!

Hi Meg, welcome! I'm Caroline and I have 3.

This is Dean Thomas, he's an artist and part time barman, has PTSD and is a bit wary. He has a French NPC girlfriend, and is totally not in love with his best friend. Not at all!

Charlie Weasley (

hopalongcharlie) owns the local club, Wingbeat, having returned to the UK after losing a good portion of his right leg to a dragon bite. He's pretty affable, but sweary, and also asexual (that's knownish, not like he tells everyone but people know).

Finally Gwenog Jones (

haveyoumet_) is yr resident Holyhead Harpies/Welsh international beater. Not that nice, bit of a PR nightmare because she gives pretty much zero craps. Very sexual, nasty temper, has had lovers of many genders but prefers ladies.

	Okay - I read that Dean was an artist and part time batman. And I thought "WOW...he's BATMAN" then I reread it. Well, I am glad he isn't. Really. grins Jules loves to drink and dance - so Charlie will be seeing her! Oh Gwenog, Julienne says people like you have helped keep her in stilettos. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Sorry, my last comment was so short, I didn't even think. Let me start again.

Hello! I'm D! I'm a pretty new arrival too, and I only have Draco here at the moment. I guess he'd know Julienne from school, being as they were in the same house, but I don't know if they'd have had much by way of communication. He has some trust and socialising issues, too, so I don't know how much they'd have seen each other in recent times, either. But we can alway hash something out if you like!

All right, I'm home, I'm working on tags, so now I can answer intro posts with some brainpower lol. Jaime here, and to speed things up I have a quick Character Bio Link Page. Now for my peeps:

Ernie: Same year as Julienne but Hufflepuff, and definitely someone who gets people out of their comfort zone ;)

Percy: Same as we know him but a single father as well - yes, the stick is still firmly lodged ;)

Vikesh: Gorgeous quidditch player with a spiritual side, so far just starting on the first line of his team - maybe he might need a PR person soon?

Gemma: Salon/spa owner, with links to illegal shit all over - if Julienne's into any of that, definitely give me a poke!

Hello and welcome. Terry here, with Richard Summerby. She might remember him as the Hufflepuff that took Cedric's place on the Quidditch team after the TriWizard.

From looking at her C/S they have a lot in common. His mother is French, from wine country. He collects languages like Ron collects Chocolate Frog cards. Rich is also a top-level amateur broom racer. Looks like they'd have lots of things to get together about.

Take a look at him and see what you think.
