Introducing Leon
Hi all! Me again (as I said to Patricia - I'm insane. More characters doesn't phase me at all). This guy is someone all of you will get to know eventually - Ravenclaw 7th year and soon to be Head Boy, Leon Beery.
The most important thing to know about him is that he was the least likely prefect choice EVER (yep, even less likely than a certain Mr Weasley), let alone an unlikely candidate for Head Boyship. Regarding the latter, when it's announced, people will think Flitwick and Dumbledore chose him basically to troll everybody. Leon kind of suspects this himself.
If you frequent Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, you'll have encountered family members. His dad runs the Hogsmeade branch, and his grandfather the one in Diagon. Also in Diagon is Beery's, a Muggle themed café-bar managed by his older brother, Alexander. His great-great-grandfather is former Herbology Prof and Head of Slytherin Herbert Beery, he who directed the ill fated production of Fountain of Fair Fortune before buggering off to WADA. Incidentally, that's Leon's own ambition after leaving school. There's nothing else he wants to do - and rightly, because he's good. If you're in choir, you'll see him there.
He's taking Charms, DADA, Divination, Muggle Studies, Potions and Transfiguration. His optionals are his best subjects, but he carries himself well in Potions and Transfiguration, too. He's basically only taking DADA to make up numbers, and is open about that (he's not one of his house's geekier people. A lot of his smarts are to do with people skills).
Personality wise, he's very up front and straight talking - don't expect to manipulate him to get out of trouble - but he reserves his more acerbic comments for those people who are being utterly ridiculous or cruel. Don't expect to get out of trouble by going over his head to the Head Girl or other prefects, either, because he's rather savvy and will figure out what you're up to very fast. If there was a good cop/bad cop thing going on, I'll let you guess which he'd take ;)
Having said that, he isn't a bastard. He treats all four houses well, and is fair minded when it comes to prect/HB duties. You wouldn't get away with stuff just because you're a friend/a relative/ in his house, but he's not massively strict. For instance, if you do something against the rules and look really stupid as a result, he'll consider that punishment enough and leave you alone. He's no Percy Weasley and in general he's definitely one of the most laid-back prefects in recent history.
Plot with me! :)
