Hello there! Esther here, and I bring to your lovely game Katie Bell.

As many of you probably know already, she was a Gryffindor student who graduated a year before the trio. She's had her fair share of close scrapes in school, anything from being pulled off her broom by her head during a Quidditch match (thanks for that, Montague) to touching a cursed opal necklace. Ron also threw a Quaffle pretty hard at her head during Quidditch practice, and shortly after she was fed the wrong end of a nosebleed nougat by Fred. It really is a wonder she managed to make it out of school at all, accident prone as she was! It's also significant enough to note anyone from Dumbledore's Army would probably remember her.

For an added bit of history your characters might know about her...
• She had a pretty explosive end to her relationship with Slytherin's Terence Higgs back in her school days. Her mates were a bit more skeptical of the relationship from the start, and it really threw off her performance on the Quidditch pitch for a while. For the full history of that, please feel free to check out Katie's profile.
• Katie is the type of person who will try just about anything once to say she's done it. She also can't easily, if at all, back down from a dare. Gryffinodrs, right? ;D
• She currently works at St. Mungo's as a Healer and likes to joke around she has the makings of a mini-cat farm, leaving her destined to become a crazy cat lady when she's older.
• Unfortunately the girl never tried for a spot on a professional Quidditch team following graduation from Hogwarts, and that is the one decision she still struggles with to this day. Her closer mates probably know of that. Although Katie loves healing, there are days it gets to be intolerable and she's left wishing she had another life.

That's about it! Sorry for the novel. I put it under the cut to save your friends page. If anyone wants to talk plot, history, whatever, you can find me on AIM at alis aquilae 2012. Cheers!

	I think that Hannah and Katie would be friendly acquaintances, especially after their time in the DA together? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Friendly acquaintances definitely works for me! Hannah is too precious for anything but friendliness on Katie's behalf. ^_~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hey there! I'm Laurie and I bring you Astoria Greengrass! =D

(going to C&P this I'm sorry. Busy busy today)
She's very... snobbish. And believes mudbloods should have no place in the wizarding world. However, she is doesn't believe theyn eed to be killed for it, just returned back to their natural habitat and obliviated so they don't remember the world she loves so dearly. (yes, she sees them as animals.) Those few she can get to know, see another side to her. She can be quite friendly and has a heart. She even baked Seamus cookies after she pissed him off with Mudblood comments as a way to apologize.

Since Katie works at St. Mungos there could be a chance for them to run into each other. Astoria's in her second year of Healer training. I've actually compared this to medical and I believe she has two more years left to go before she's official, but she's been getting something like 30 hrs a week in at Mungos besides class work and all. (Haven't figured out how that works during the summer though, heh)

How're you? Thanks for the tag, Laurie, and Stori looks great.

Katie's a pureblood, but she definitely doesn't think much of it one way or another. I imagine she wouldn't even bring it up in conversation, but there's likelihood people who care about such things might know? Definitely they should know each other from work, at least in passing. I haven't quite decided which floor to put her on, but yeah! And definitely good on you for sticking with how long it takes to get a history in medical/nursing. It can take anywhere from 2-4 years depending on your track. Maybe there could be a time in the future, or has been a time in the past, when Katie worked with Stori training-wise? Totally your call!

Thanks, lovey!

	Hello!! I'm Nikki and I play Seamus. I like the idea of Katie and Seamus being friends. What do you think? I'm easiest to contact through gmail at colourlessechoes@gmail.com (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hey there, Nikki! Thanks for the tag.

I definitely think Seamus/Katie friendship is a "go". Their personalities would mesh well together if you ask me. We can talk backstory or future plotting ideas if you like. Feel free to hit me up on AIM (my e-mail is via AIM as well). I'm currently a ghost because I'm meant to be reading for class, but yeah. ^_~

Thanks again, love. Can't wait to see more of Seamus.

	Sooooo... I'm Kyra... and it's totally up to you if Katie and Lav are friends :D Then again, Lav's not too bright, but she's really friendly and really loyal.. and kinda brave :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

I love your PB for Lav, Kyra. =) And hello hello. Thanks for the tag.

I'm going to say "yes" to that one. I'd love for them to be friends. Katie just so happens to have many mates from the class above and below her year, so completely plausible. Bright doesn't have much to do with it, I assure you. Bravery, loyalty, and friendliness are more than enough to compensate for brilliance says she!

Looking forward to seeing more of yeh, Lav dear.

Oliver says w00t! w00t! He's a starter for Puddlemere United and is still all YAY QUIDDITCH! and still rambles on and on about the game. He's probably had her mend a few of his injuries and I'd like to think these 2 stayed in touch. He's secretly happy she and Terence broke up as Oliver most likely thought he was a git. He's not a big fan of people from Slytherin.

So, mates and have been for ages? Kept in touch and all of that good stuff?

And I'm Nancy, btw!! I also have Daphne Greengrass but I imagine these two wont really care for each other :P

Hey there, Nancy!

Katie is definitely glad to have Oliver around. She loves her mates something fierce, so hooray for that! I'm gonna take you up on that. I imagine she would have done all she could to keep in touch with him. She's happy to mend him up whenever, but truth be told she loves to see him in tip-top shape and kicking butt on the pitch. He probably has heard of her missing her Quidditch days quite a bit, especially recently, so maybe they can do a scrimmage or something in the future. <3 And as for Terence, I think these days she finally realizes how ridiculous it was to trust him to begin with. Thank goodness for amazing friends looking after her (especially when she went temporarily crazy and avoided her guys... sorry Oliver)!

Mates for life, you better believe it.

Haha. Daphne and Katie would be amusing to see together. I'm not going to lie about that. We'll have to see if that happens. ;)
