Accio Goblet!

So, if you've recently read this month's plot post, you'll know that at dinner tonight, Alexandra attempted to give a note to someone (Cedric) asking him on a Hogsmeade date, but Yakov got the note instead and accepted.

Alexandra looked confused, then distressed, and finally quickly pasted on a fake smile because she doesn't want to hurt Yakov's feelings. Any takers for the person who caused the mix-up? Reactions from the Durmstrang population? Go ahead and post them here.

Hi, it's Crystal! I have some bad news and some good news.

The bad news is that I'm living in the path of Hurricane Sandy, and there's a risk of power outages in the next couple of days, meaning I may have to take a hiatus, so I'm pre-emptively announcing it now since I obviously can't if the power goes out.

And onto the good news, I have a third character! Her name is Alexandra Volakis, and she's a 7th year student at Durmstrang. She's from a small village on the Greek island of Crete, and she's an aspiring healer.

If Alexandra had gone to Hogwarts, she probably would have sorted into Hufflepuff. She's very caring and likes to help others, hard-working, etc. She's very people-oriented and likes to be around others, though she's not the stereotypical extrovert- she's quiet, soft-spoken, supportive, and a good listener rather than the loud life of the party one usually envisions when thinking of extroverts.

Then again, like a Ravenclaw, she's a voracious reader and loves reading about faraway places that she hopes to travel to someday. In fact, she decided to sign up for the tournament because she'd get to go to Scotland. She was a chaser for the Black Team and the school team back at Durmstrang, but is substituting with Flying Club this year. She's also going to be in the Book and Charms clubs.

I'm up for Durmstrang plot and future connections of all kinds!

Sorry to take so long with this, but this is Crystal with my second character, Audrey (yes, that Audrey) Bulstrode! She's a 6th year Slytherin, prefect, and member of the charms club, chess club, and choir, and may be potentially interested in a drama club if that happens. She's the older sister of Millicent, though they're really not much alike. Unlike her sister, Audrey is ladylike, a good student, and tries her best to be friendly and outgoing, as she knows people skills and charisma are important in politics, which she plans on going into after Hogwarts. Despite the confident and in-control facade she presents, Audrey is kind of messed up. Her mother, whom she was very close to and aspired to be just like, died of a terminal illness a few months before she went away to Hogwarts for the first time, and since Millicent started Hogwarts, she's become resentful of Audrey and acts out. Audrey, on the other hand, tends to internalize her issues and tries to distract herself by keeping busy so she doesn't have to think about them. She's been in an on and off relationship with Adrian Pucey since late in 3rd year. They're not really the most compatible of couples, but they have a hard time letting each other go for too long, and Audrey's issues have a lot to do with that on her end. Audrey is a pretty good prefect, fair and neither overly strict nor overly lax. She's hoping to become Head Girl next year, just like her mother was.

I'm open to any and all plot, friends, enemies, frienemies, whatever! And maybe one or two boys Audrey attempted relationships with during her and Adrian's "off" periods.

ALSO, if a location for the Halloween party hasn't been officially settled on, she might be persuaded to try to get it in the Slytherin common room. She's unsure about letting outsiders into Slytherin, but she kind of wants the party, too, and if there's no better alternative, she might cave.

Hey, everyone! I'm Crystal, and I'm pretty sure I've RPed with most of you, and for those of you I haven't friended yet, you can catch me at themiserychick. I've got one character here so far, Leanne Clearwater. Leanne is a fifth year Ravenclaw, and a member of the Book, Chess, and Gobstones clubs. Leanne is very introspective and off in her own world a lot of the time, daydreaming, or just wondering about random things. She's shy, but once she's gotten to know someone, or you've hit on one of her choice topics, she can be prone to rambling, (and then gets embarrassed if she catches herself rambling too much). Her father is a Muggleborn and her mother a half-blood born to Muggleborn parents, and neither has forgotten their Muggle roots, so Leanne is pretty knowledgeable about Muggle culture, and loves Muggle clothes. She aspires to be a fashion designer and work Muggle styles into Wizarding fashion. She's a little bit of a drama queen and prone to exaggeration.

I want all the plot, so hit me up!
