! intro, taryn

Hi everyone! So I'm Taryn and I bring with me Mr. Henry Latimer, family man and aspiring broommaker. He's a seventh year prefect who played Quidditch in his fourth, fifth and sixth years. He's super friendly and has an open, big heart. He hates seeing people lonely and tries to make everyone feel included. He's every muggle health teacher's dream student basically. :P

I'm so happy to be here and I'm excited to start playing Henry. BRING IT!

Yayyyy!

Hi, I'm Alison and I play a billion million people. Well, five. I have Barney, Luke, Lee, Mel, Yakov and Valentina. They all have usernames exactly as unimaginative as this one. You know you want to hear all about them, right? Well, luckily for you I don't care about my job, so let's go.

Barney Dunstan is a sixth year Hufflepuff and was the Keeper for their Quidditch team, so I imagine he will know Henry pretty well :-) Barney is also super friendly and sporty and he's very bouncy and enthusiastic. His best friends are Cedric and Samir (only Cedric's quietness could balance out the other two, haha) but he will talk to absolutely anybody and everybody. He has a tendency to talk in run on sentences and use non-sequitors which can make him hard to follow sometimes. Coupled with the fact he's very loud and not that bright and there are plenty of people who can't stand to be around him, although very few actively dislike him. He wants to be friends! He's team Cedric all the way, although he seems to have calmed down a bit about Harry and his fans, and is actually talking to some of the Gryffindors again.

Luke Hammonds is a 7th year Ravenclaw who will know Henry from classes. Luke is a quiet and slightly socially awkward geeky muggle-born obsessed with Star Wars (his real name isn't Luke, but he chooses to use his middle name because he thinks it's awesome). He's very smart but doesn't ever put his hand up in class because he's scared of bullies. He probably won't know Henry that well because he's so quiet, but I can see Henry being friendly anyway, and Luke will talk back, albeit hesitantly. Luke supports both Hogwarts champions.

Lee Jordan is a 6th year Gryffindor. Henry will know him as Quidditch commentator and mischief-insitgator extraordinaire. As well as Quidditch and pranks, Lee also loves girls and spiders. He has a pet tarantula, but not a girlfriend, alas. I imagine he will like Henry well enough and respects his Quidditch abilities. He generally likes Hufflepuffs, although there has been some tension recently as he is a Harry supporter.

Demelza Robins aka Mel is a 5th year Gryffindor. She does love Quidditch (but hasn't made the Gryffindor team yet) and her dad is a sports journalist so she is full of inside knowledge on the game. However, her main passion is politics and debating. She will start an argument about anything and not notice that it's not fun for the other person. She is a really nice person, though, and always sticking up for the underdog and anyone she thinks of as oppressed. She's a Marxist and a Feminist and everything else. She's also half-Indian. Oh, and she loves boys and kissing! This year she has started up a model International Confederation of Wizards (we refer to it as the Model ICW), which is like the Model UN and is basically an excuse for her to debate with people from lots of countries. Demelza also talks to everyone and is team kind-of-Harry-but-Cedric-is-nice-too-and-can-we-not-fight-about-this.

Yakov Poliakoff is a Russian Jew from Durmstrang. He is the Poliakoff that Karkaroff calls a 'disgusting boy' for having food all down his robes. He is incredibly lazy and obsessed with food. Henry will know him from classes as he's 7th year, but they probably don't have much in common! Yakov's pretty friendly too and will talk to anyone who isn't mean to him. He's basically what happens when pushy parents push too far, as he's sitting there in his self-fulfilling prophecy now. Call me lazy and stupid? Oh look what happens! He honestly doesn't care who wins the tournament and is blatantly here for the food.

Aaaaaand Valentina is a fairy-tale princess, complete with wicked stepmother. She's Italian but loves everything French because Beauxbatons is so much nicer than being at home. She is team Fleur. She is also a 7th year so he will know her from classes. Oh, and she's friends with Anais so he will know her that way too. She's very sweet, very helpful, very shy, very jealous (but tries to keep that to herself) and loves animals and music and.... basically stands there singing with animated bluebirds on her hand. Unfortunately her handsome prince and BFF Remy is gay and kissing him didn't rouse her from a sleep but made things a bit awkward for a bit instead. Ah well.

Welcome! I'm excited to play with you! My CDJ is

fuckyeahbadgers and I'll friend you when I get home, as I'm playing on my phone at the moment which is a pain in the ass.

	I should also have said Lee likes winding up prefects. So. He may try and wind Henry up a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	i feel like i'm betraying Allegra or something... but Lee should totally try winding Allegra up about Cormac or whatever... idk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, normally when he winds prefects up it it's over prefectly things...plus she's pretty and that knocks him off his game a little. He could tease Cormac about it, though, since they seem to have that sort of friend?ship (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hehe that would work just as well. XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm going to reply to Lee this way then because I'd like to say that Henry would love that, LOL. Henry is really playful and gets a kick out of banter and poking fun at someone (mutually) so I think he and Lee would get along really well. I think Henry secretly wishes he was as funny and adventurous as Lee. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everyone wants to be a funny as Lee :-P He'll be glad to have someone who'll banter back. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OMG THE FACT THAT YOU ARE USING MY LOVE VANESSA MARANO MAKES ME WANT TO HAVE ALL THE PLOTS. But since she's friends with Anis and she's so sweet and helpful, I think he'd like her a lot and be happy that Anais has such cool friends like this fairy princess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She is so gorgeous, right? I couldn't believe it when I found out she was Luke's kid in Gilmore girls. Talk about growing up! Valentina is actually pretty shy, but she'll make an effort with Henry since he's dating Anais. (Reply to this) (Parent)

@Barney: I'm hoping Samir and Henry will be good friends so that along with Quidditch will mean he will know and like Barney a ton. I say we scene them for sure!

@Luke: Omg I'm getting so lazy with my responses, I'm sorry. I think Henry would definitely try to reach out to him over the years, partner up with him in some classes, too, if he finds Luke's alone and Henry doesn't want to be with X or Y for the millionth time. Conversations could be awkward maybe

@Demelza: Can she be MY BFF omg she sounds fantastic but I'm not sure Henry would know her. :(

@Yakov: Henry used to be fat because he snuck off to the kitchens and had biscuits and shit too often. :3 I think maybe he'd like Yakov a bit when he notices the food love and they could maybe get on all right from that, but other than that, like you said, they probably don't have much in common.

Cool cool, friends with Barney then :-)

Aaand awkward conversations with Luke.

Awww Demelza has a lot of RL people wanting to be her BFF, haha. I think clearly this means your next character has to be a 5th year to be friends with Demelza and Marietta.

Yakov has managed to avoid being fat so far. He must have an awesome fast metabolism. I think it will all catch up with him in his mid to late 20s which could be a bit of shock to him. But yeah, he talks about food constantly, so they can always talk about that.
