Hi all! I'm Heather, I'm certain I've played with at least three of you before, and I'm bringing Vicky Frobisher (yeah, I know, what a surprise!) to the game for my first.

To sum her up:

* Sixth year Gryffindor, November birthday (she'll be gutted she can't enter the tournament). President of the Charms Club, she's also in Choir and Book Club. She's also mad on Quidditch, and plays Keeper for a local amateur team in London when not at Hogwarts. Going to the World Cup? You'll see her there.

* Her family is ancient, but not pure. They've married muggles and muggleborns many times over the past millennium or so. They're also technically titled - her maternal grandfather is a Lord - but if you call Vicky 'The Right Honourable Victoria Anne Frobisher' (the honorific to which she's entitled), she'll wait till a teacher's not looking and hex you. Both her parents are descended from the upper classes and have former ladies-in-waiting to wives of Henry VIII in their ancestry.

* Speaking of parents, her father is a Ministry plant within the BBC, ensuring wizarding news doesn't sneak out amongst the Muggles. His cover is that he presents a highbrow politics programme called 'Westminster on Sunday'. Her mother is a society photographer (think along the lines of David Snowdon) who has clients in the Muggle and Magical world. Prices are high.

* She's taking Arithmancy, Charms, History of Magic, Muggle Studies, Potions and Transfiguration. Charms and Muggle Studies are her faves.

* She doesn't have a familiar but is thinking of getting one this summer.

* She's fairly laid back, but is very honest (and not as a euphemism for being a mean bitch, either) when approached. Doesn't usually poke her nose in unless her contribution might be listened to.

Looking forward to playing! :)

Were you in Euterpe's Corner? I feel like you were, and if that's the case, I did play with you before. But even if I didn't play with you before, I'm happy to play with you now!

I'm Lari and this is Marietta Edgecombe who is not a sneak YET, tyvm. She is also shy and kind of socially awkward, and a year behind Vicky and in a different house so they probably don't know each other well, but whatever. They might talk over the journals anyway. :)

	I was! I had Andrew Kirke, Alexander Summers, Penelope Clearwater and Melinda Bobbin :) Nothing wrong with random interactions! :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! Fantastic characters. I was Marietta (again, lol), Sylvie Fawcett and Emma Montgomery over there. Nothing at all! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi Heather! I'm Katie, and like Lari I've played with you before if you were in Euterpe's Corner :) In any case, HELLO. This is Cho Chang, who is a year behind Vicky but also into Quidditch so probably they at least know of each other, plus Cho is a total social butterfly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Heather! Patricia here, and we have NEVER played with each other before! Well, except for all those many games where we did. :P

This here is Cormac, whom Vicky will know from seeing him around the common room because he's hardly inconspicuous - and because he may have tried to hit on her at some point. He's actually a pretty cool guy who is trying to move away from his purist family's viewpoints, but since his flaws tend to overshadow his qualities it's very possible Vicky wouldn't have noticed it.

And then there's Hamish, who needs no introduction. He's a halfblood now, because his addition to the game was caused by Julie and I joking about him and Cass from ootp_newts being long-lost twins, but apart from that he's still the girl-shy kilt-wearing Scot you know.

	Pfft, who counts those? ;) That could be a good one to play out and see what their natural chemistry's like - whether she gets it or is utterly irritated by him, ha ha. Hamish! You know my thoughts on him, lol. Larissa kind of evolved over the course of Feinted so I'm kind of tempted to bring her back next to see if she stays that way in a different setting.

	Not me, that's for sure. Sounds like a plan. Hamish loves the idea of having Larissa around again. I expected you'd want to take a break from her after playing her for so long, but if you're up for it then I'll be cheering like crazy. A different setting is definitely bound to make things interesting from a writing point of view. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She became a little feistier and slightly less responsible than originally planned, so I'd be keen on starting her afresh and seeing if the more straightlaced setting of pre-war Hogwarts made her any different, really :) I'll put in the hold when I'm able because apparently I can't resist apping, ha ha!

	Since today is the last day for allowing more than one hold at the same time, you can still give it a try. However, I'd suggest you take your time and think things through, as I need to set a good example and all rather than go "omgdoitdoitdoit!" :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heather yay! Alicia loves her and thinks it is a shame there is no room for more players in a Quidditch team. Barney will chatter away to her and will probably like her too, although to be fair Barney likes most people. They can talk about Keeping, and how great it is. (Reply to this)
