Alright Y'all, I've been lurking for the last three days and it's about time I get my butt in gear and go on the hunt for some plot bunnies. It's very good to be back and I've missed you all A LOT. At the moment I think I am going to focus on Sophie and Waverly and get some things running with them, see how all that goes before I try to swing an adult with less built in structure.

Sophie Flickwick
Things to know about Miss Sophie Seventh Year Gryffindor, former Prefect, former head of SAWS, outspoken, short tempered, sassy in the face, and in general funny little bugger. Her father is a Wrock Star and her family is sort of massive. I'll be updating the want ads for them later!

What she's been up to In my mind she spent the tail end of last year with her head down and nose in the books. She was still kind of reeling from the death of her mother and I just couldn't find a sad-Sophie voice that felt genuine. She's not going on the school trip, but she did spend the first part of the summer traveling with her father's band Mandrake Siren. By Mid-July she's back in London and ready to take life by storm again.

What she's looking for: AO accrued a whole new crop of writers while I was MIA, I would love to find a new/expanded social group for Sophie - a mix of the old and new. She's a very helpful loving friend to have around, and generally good for a laugh. Her time away did her some good and she's come back to town with two goals in mind - to be tall (which is never going to happen, soz Peanut) and to be hot. She is moderately bothered by the fact Figaro got a new girlfriend before she got a new boyfriend but she's not looking for a single serious thing. She wants to have fun, and obviously beat Fig in a see-how-many-more-sloppy-makeouts-can-i-get-than-you contest. When it comes to conflict, I would like to see how people are feeling toward SAWS, if there is blowback from the fighting ring and cult plots that would impact the club directly, also are there any professors willing to oversee some things? I know it's never been an officially sanctioned school affiliated club, but /adult supervision/ is important okay? Okay!

Now onto baby number two!

Waverly Roh-Ballentyne
 Things to know about Waverly (aka Roh) Seventh Year  Slytherin, Quidditch Junkie, Animagus, raised by two awesome lesbians to be a strong independent witch. Not a part of the Slytherin Monarchy (though I get the impression the Queens have fallen and the new hot shot in house is none other than Gracie Slant <3). Basically she's a down girl who loves to dance with a hunger for knowledge

What she's been up to She is going on the school trip! When they get back however I don't have any plans for her currently. When I was last playing her she had bonded with a Salem student, so 7th year is going to be a bit sad now that they're gone. She is currently going through a "rebellious" phase in which she dresses like a Muggle Fly Girl and flaunts the numerous gifts Merlin gave her (swiggity swooty, she got da booty).

What she's looking for: Love and acceptance! No, okay, really, I want to build up her innerhouse connections because I didn't touch on that a lot before. She, however, isn't an elitist in the least, unless it's elitist to only want to be friends with awesome people - because that's what she's all about. She has a mouth on her though, and one of the ways she shows affection is verbal barbs. She gets this from her mother Zora. Mischief is always appreciated, maybe something with her Animagus ability on the trip? I haven't really mapped out her love life but I get the feeling she's a soft four on the Kinsey scale. Romance has not been an important factor in her life up to this point, and I still don't see it taking a starring role in her life, but everyone likes smooches sometimes. As far as people who don't like her or that she would have a problem with...Waverly just wouldn't bother unless it was obviously wrong situation. Her moral compass is a little muddy but she is quick to come to the defense of those who can defend themselves.

Hiya Sly and welcome back.

My boy Asher could work for both these girls. 

Hulloooooooooooo, SJ! 

Blast from the past to see you back, but yay

I can offer Jordyn up for any number of things: catching people breaking rules... actually being friendly... there are a number of possibilities!  She can fit in nicely with either of your characters though and the directions you want to take them in

SJ! So we talked about characters being friends and stuff, but I figured I'd just post stuff here as well. Because I can use it as an excuse to procrastinate on what I'm supposed to be doing and talk about my bbs. I'm terribad, I know.

So, I have 3 possible peeps for Roh and Sophie!

First off, we have Verity!



The 7th year Hufflepuff Prefect and resident overachiever extraordinaire, Verity would definitely want to bring back SAWS with Sophie. Because she clearly needs to fill her time with more things so that she doesn't have time to dwell on anything negative. She would most likely get along swimmingly with both Sophie and Roh, and definitely try to push Sophie to start thinking about her future plans and stuff. And maybe act as a bit of a moral compass for Roh. Which could be appreciated or not.

Maddie, the earlier mentioned "perfectly nice and adorable younger sister" (Sly pls) of Theo Whitman!



If there is one thing that Maddie is good at, it's being cheerful. She is now a 2nd year Gryffindor, so Sophie'd probably be the only one who'd interact with her, but she loves Quidditch and being adventurous. Maddie has no problem interacting with the older students, as she is used to hanging around her brother and his friends, but also knows that she's adorable and will use that to get people to spoil her.

And then there is Nico dun, dun, dun!



He's a grumpster through and through. But he is a Seer, and actually pretty good at it, despite his reluctance towards the whole thing. So he and Sophie could potentially interact due to both being Seers. Plus they have so many gifs/pictures together, haha (that will never happen =P).

Of course, there is Cal. (so I guess I have 4 people for them)



He and Roh could bond over being in the "I Have Two Mommies" club outside of class, haha. He is kind of a goofy fellow, but he knows a lot about different Muggle cultures and is very passionate about getting rid of the Statute of Secrecy. He believes that immersion with Muggles is the best way to move forward and be a unified race. If they don't believe that magical folks are inherently superior to Muggles, I'm sure he'll get along with them.

Shiny gifs shiiiiiny gifs Welcome back SJ - we missed you!



The werewolf fight plot sort of went quiet 'on page' around January 2010 in the timeline, but 'off page' it carried on in various guises. The event on July 26th was interrupted because it was discovered by attendees that the wolf was Healer Hannah Bombay, and horrible, nasty, stringy Wolfgang Storm gets his comeuppance by werewolf!Hannah but survives through help of others, and some luck. Hannah is vamooshed to Knox Greyfriar for help, Wolfgang to St Mungo's, and the Ministry are tipped off about an incident and are all over the scene in Birmingham trying to work out what's up. Gist is that Wolfgang will get further retribution from the Ministry, and there's further complication below the surface.

Anticipate this will be in the papers late July into August. So by September, new Arithmancy Professor (Mrs Storm, though under her maiden name of Duerr to distance herself from the white haired scary one and the trouble over summer, will either have a husband in trouble/Azkaban/worse - not sure yet.

SAWS may well come as an unpleasant surprise at first, but I feel she would come round to the idea and feel a little happier in herself to know the students felt that way. Possibly, bit further along, become more involved in helping them out? Possible thread: some initial disagreement or disbelief at what they are campaigning for?



Waverley's Gryffindor classmate - Ariadne can be assumed a friend, former enemy, or however you'd like given their 'opposing' houses. She's very accepting of her classmates so if you'd like her as a friend it'll fit. Ariadne also plays quidditch, so equally if you'd like them to be competitive of each other, that's good too. Tad short on a firm thread idea here, but there is an open thread at Kings Cross on the train that you're welcome to join.



Ambrose has, though I missed the memo, been hit with the puberty stick and is so far surviving. (I think it may have to do with these gifs of Max Thieriot?) He is also on the summer trip and still with his unpredictable magic, though it's getting better (thanks Professor Kesali). I think he considered himself either on the fringe of SAWS or involved last time? Also he is helping Fig with the paper. He and Sophie are fellow housemates and I think he's always been fond of her. He's also Winnie's best (male) mate still. Any Hogwarts shenanigans welcomed.



Still around, Deputy Headmaster, he is always up for interactions with students, even if they dared to stop studying his subject. Oh, and chance, awkward moments in Godric's Hollow perhaps over summer if you want to torture him. Gossip (via Jordyn Dimbleby and others at the hospital) are that he's been seen with Head Healer Miranda Elliot a lot. You know, former Durmstang Professor and Hogwarts Healer Elliot. Was voted least likely to do so in the yearbook.


I'm not sure the rest of my lot will have much to contribute, but I'm running out of time to get to work, so I will add them if I think of anything.

You guys! I feel so welcomed, this is amazing. <3

Angel: Maybe if you tell me a little bit about how you think Asher would interact with either girl I could formulate a better idea? Thank you for the welcome!

Jess Waverly and Sophie would like to congratulate Jordy on becoming Head Girl, looking good Dimbleby! When I started writing Sophie (all those years ago), she and Jordyn and Fergie were thick and thieves (because of all the Delena pic spam). I think if we write about it like they've just naturally drifted apart over the last two years what with Jordy being caught up in being a Prefect and then Sophie losing her mom that works. If we want them to be getting friendly again, I do kind of love that idea because I love Jordyn and I don't know yet if I'm bringing back Livi so any excuse to interact with her. I'm not sure we've ever talked about how Jordy feels about Sophie's activism

when it comes to Waverly, I think they're both the kind of neutral characters people don't often associate with Slytherins (which I do not understand but that's another thing). They have that drive to be the best and I think they'd get along. If they have any classes together we could throw them in on a paired off project maybe?

Amberlee: Ayla and Sophie should definitely have a talk. I think the last time we wrote them was when Ayla stormed out of a SAWS meeting at the beginning of "last" year, we can figure out if they ever made up then or not. I think they would have eventually just because Sophie doesn't like being mad I always felt like she looked at Ayla a little like a little sister.

Xav & Sophie don't have much history other than the one SAWS meeting he came into. Sophie was really suspicious of him but she didn't know that he was dealing with his own stuff at the time. She might look at him funny if he tried to flirt with her, just because she knows about Peyton being his brother and plus the Figaro thing (though I am pretty sure she and Fig are friends again at this point). Waverly on the other hand would totally flirt with him which might lead to some stolen smooches or not. It's hard to say, depending on her mood, I can see her being a bit of a tease and then sashaying away.

Peyton & Sophie are brosters for sure. Sophie's always had a soft spot for him, and is happy to know he's becoming more comfortable in himself. Waverly loves playing (I think she's going to be a Chaser this year) so they could totally practice together or whatever. It could be a fun thread and little friendly rivalry!

Cadance & Sophie could for sure get along, she's had really good friends in Slytherin so it wouldn't be unheard of. I don;t think Waverly would despise her, unless you really want to go that route? I think Waverly would think it's kind of really sad how everything is sort of foisted upon Cadance and she might tease her about being prissy and uptight but she'd also just try to loosen her up so the poor girl doesn't pop a vessel.

Sly SO MANY BABIES OHMUHGAWD. <3
Shona & Sophie & SAWS - would you be open to having Shona be a part of the whole SAWS thing? They would need a new meeting place and I feel like Sophie will need the support and encouragement? Sophie is very good with animals and CoMC is one of the classes she excels in so I can see her bonding with Shona. Waverly doesn't take CoMC, but she's on the trip so they could interact there and maybe it carries over to the school year?

Rick & Waverly - Roh is really good with her wand, she also would be pretty disinterested in the fact he's the resident "hot professor". We talked a little bit about her being sassy in a funny engaging way. Sophie is okay at Charms, but she still gets nervous casting. Depending on how he feels about SAWS, Sophie is one of those students who earnestly wants to please but not a suck up so, we'll have to thread them I suppose?

Gracie & Sophie - yes! Friendly friends who cuddle sometimes! I see them being the sort of friends who don't get a lot of time to spend together but when they do it's sort of like no time has passed. I also see Gracie and Roh really getting along, a lot of mutual respect plus Gracie is her Captain!

Theo is the devil. Sophie is wary but trying to give him a chance for JH's sake. He skeeves Roh out a little bit, but I like the idea of her judgement faltering a little for the sake of social interactions unless he's being a super asshole at which point she will tell him all about himself.

Esther and the girls- If she's really quit trying to ruin people's lives I can see Sophie giving her a chance, especially since she's made nice with Juni, Sophie adores Juni. Waverly would most likely be disinterested unless there was a reason for them to be interacting?

Micha and Sophie - I think Sophie would really like him, plus he's friends with Zel and Sophie love love loves Zel. She probably doesn't even realize that Micha is shy, because she's always been so loud and one to just invade people's space. It's a really bad habit she hasn't broken yet.

Derrek yes to all the things! We've talked about this over AIM but I would love to do a thread with Sophie and Verity whenever you have time! Roh probably really likes her too because she likes people, especially smart people.

Maddie is Sophie's favorite "Little" (who is now bigger than her), I see lots of hugs and fireside chats.

Nico - Would probably be teased by Roh, but in like a hair ruffling big sister kind of way? Sophie wants to cuddle him but will try to refrain. It will be hard though.

Professor Goof is adorable. Waverly would def. be down for the "I Gots Two Mommies" club. Sophie is a Half Blood and Roh isn't sure /what/ she is because she's adopted, so they definitely don't have issue with Muggles, half Sophie's family are Muggles (tho they're also American, so there's that).

Kit You have new babies! I'm so excited.

Professor Duerr - Neither of the girls will have her as an instructor but I love the idea of her being opposed to SAWS at first because I don't know who the big opponents at this point would even be without Professor Reid around. I also like that her stance is open to change.

Ariadne & Waverly, I think Sly mentioned that Ari was going on the trip and didn't have a roommate, I think it would be fun if she and Roh were thrown together? I can see them being friend who also compete with each other, not in a malicious way but they both like winning so it's no holds bar on the Pitch and then after the game they slap each other on the back and have a butterbeer. I think Sophie would really like her as well and since they're in the same house and year they'd be some sort of friends probably? Sophie can be exhausting as you know, but she has a good heart!

Ambrose is the cutest thing and Sophie just wants to pinch his cheeks and tell him to stop growing because she doesn't like feeling so short! SAWS is def. in need of more members so lets move him into the involved camp to bolster numbers a bit?

Storm & the girls- how very scandalous! Sophie still can't believe she sassed him and lived to tell the tale. If I remember right he didn't want to come out on either side of SAWS, though he did allow them to operate. I love the idea of Sophie running into him in the Hollow and having /no/ idea what to do. Roh enjoys his class and is good at it so theres that!

Whew! Thanks so much you guys!

SJ <3

I think we agreed that Alex and Sophie get on okay. Alex probably isn't involved in SAWS, but she definitely isn't anti-werewolf either. She supports it but doesn't want to join, kind of thing. She might not like Waverly as much though? Alex isn't fond of love and acceptance. But we could definitely do something with them being animagus!

Ji-Hyun is SUPER NICE and I like the idea of her re-connecting with Sophie. She would probably have been a member of SAWS, I think, and it would be fun if we wrote them corresponding over the course of the SEA trip or the summer holidays? Or we can thread them at Hogwarts, alternatively? She would probably like (and admire) Waverly, though if Waverly likes her back is of course up to you.

Bastian is an idiot with drama queen tendencies. He is friends with the usual suspects (Esther, Juni, Connor, Lua) and he says that both girls are very fine indeed. I don't have much idea for how they might have interacted (other than Bastian bothering them during detention or something) but if you would like to do something then it's there!

OH ALSO if either of them had a summer job they could have worked at Alohomocha? Which would mean they know Leon, although he spent quite a bit of the summer helping out on the school trip.

Professor Duerr - Neither of the girls will have her as an instructor but I love the idea of her being opposed to SAWS at first because I don't know who the big opponents at this point would even be without Professor Reid around. I also like that her stance is open to change.

Great - sure, when SAWS gets set up, I will be sure to play her as much alarmed at this society as things are raw in her family life.

Ariadne & Waverly, I think Sly mentioned that Ari was going on the trip and didn't have a roommate, I think it would be fun if she and Roh were thrown together? I can see them being friend who also compete with each other, not in a malicious way but they both like winning so it's no holds bar on the Pitch and then after the game they slap each other on the back and have a butterbeer. I think Sophie would really like her as well and since they're in the same house and year they'd be some sort of friends probably? Sophie can be exhausting as you know, but she has a good heart!

Super stuff, yes, please do chuck them in the same room. The fifth years have got some silliness going on during the storm, but we should probably grab a few older faces to do something together with as well. Friendly competition, me likes. Chuck Wav in the departure thread at Kings Cross perhaps?

Ambrose is the cutest thing and Sophie just wants to pinch his cheeks and tell him to stop growing because she doesn't like feeling so short! SAWS is def. in need of more members so lets move him into the involved camp to bolster numbers a bit?

Yep, I'll definitely get him in. We need a SAWS plotting thread. There probably is one. Erm. I'll have a look when I am home.

Storm & the girls- how very scandalous! Sophie still can't believe she sassed him and lived to tell the tale. If I remember right he didn't want to come out on either side of SAWS, though he did allow them to operate. I love the idea of Sophie running into him in the Hollow and having /no/ idea what to do. Roh enjoys his class and is good at it so theres that!

I think he remained impartial but in mild support. Having come face to face, and having erm, disposed of a couple, he wouldn't be rushing to hug a werewolf, but it's an ever closing circle that he needs to keep an eye on. He won't be holding a placard, but he might be less of an arsehole to them than Mr O'Morain was that time .. hehehe.

I'd be up even for a weird little moment of them both navigating round each other over summer with disbelief that they've crossed paths outside of Hogwarts. The corner of Ignan's eye is twitching in my head as I think about it. Ok, one to start perhaps. I'll give him a reason to leave the house and walk somewhere.

Shona & Sophie & SAWS - would you be open to having Shona be a part of the whole SAWS thing? They would need a new meeting place and I feel like Sophie will need the support and encouragement? Sophie is very good with animals and CoMC is one of the classes she excels in so I can see her bonding with Shona. Waverly doesn't take CoMC, but she's on the trip so they could interact there and maybe it carries over to the school year?

They could meet at the Hideaway, if they can't anywhere else. (I am hesitant bc that is Shona's living space and sometimes a wolf just needs her den.) Annnnnnnd I am not sure if Shona would immediately jump at the chance to join them? As a teacher, I think she might be hesitant bc it'd be a conflict of interests—not that she's intimidated by that, but I think she would honestly believe it'd be better to take a more impartial stance, since she's technically in a position of authority (especially over those who are her students).

Shona is waaaaay more friendly than Rick, so even if Waverly doesn't take COMC I don't see why they couldn't have!

Rick & Waverly - Roh is really good with her wand, she also would be pretty disinterested in the fact he's the resident "hot professor". We talked a little bit about her being sassy in a funny engaging way. Sophie is okay at Charms, but she still gets nervous casting. Depending on how he feels about SAWS, Sophie is one of those students who earnestly wants to please but not a suck up so, we'll have to thread them I suppose?

Rick is wary of sass LOL. But if neither of them plan on, idk, bouncing a knut off his butt, they should be cool. :>

Gracie & Sophie - yes! Friendly friends who cuddle sometimes! I see them being the sort of friends who don't get a lot of time to spend together but when they do it's sort of like no time has passed. I also see Gracie and Roh really getting along, a lot of mutual respect plus Gracie is her Captain!

Yay! Roster's been wiped until Club Day arrives, but that's just a formality tbh

Theo is the devil. Sophie is wary but trying to give him a chance for JH's sake. He skeeves Roh out a little bit, but I like the idea of her judgement faltering a little for the sake of social interactions unless he's being a super asshole at which point she will tell him all about himself.

AHAHAHAHAHAAAA perfect. :3

Esther and the girls- If she's really quit trying to ruin people's lives I can see Sophie giving her a chance, especially since she's made nice with Juni, Sophie adores Juni. Waverly would most likely be disinterested unless there was a reason for them to be interacting?

Try? Esther doesn't try. If anything, their lives were ruined before they caught her interest. Why else would she talk about them? UuU

Micha and Sophie - I think Sophie would really like him, plus he's friends with Zel and Sophie love love loves Zel. She probably doesn't even realize that Micha is shy, because she's always been so loud and one to just invade people's space. It's a really bad habit she hasn't broken yet.

If Sophie is Ji-Hyun's and Zel's friend (especially Ji-Hyun's), then u kno what, I'm sure Micah likes her! He's probably just overwhelmed by the loudness/forthrightness (less so about personal space; it's what people do in his personal space he's cautious about). Maybe he's even a member of SAWS (he's definitely gone to meetings, if that's okay w you).

SJ!

Nicholas has missed his friend.  He's still the same old Nicholas though he did get serious over the summer and take on an internship with the Obliviators.  (so he also didn't go on the trip).  And of course he'd still be in SAWS...and probably providing just as much trouble for Sophie as support.

It's so lovely to see you back, SJ.  I'm all aflutter!

Fig is a bit fuzzy for me lately, but I think it's a sure thing that he and Sophie finished out the school year as awkard as possible, and that they didn't run into each other over the summer. 

I'm not sure where Fig will be now that school's back in, but I'm sure his relationship with ancient Sophie will be fun to play with!

Welcome back, SJ! Super stoked to see you around here again, dear~!

I know we had turmoil and trouble with a blazing T with Sophie and Addie when you were aboot last. Addie is currently living alone (unless you wanna count Marmy the crup pup) in Muggle London, moving between jobs. I know Add feels that even as she graduated and likely left their situation poorly in shambles, she would be willing to resolve the differences if Sophie would accept it.

And p much also for Sophie is Myrtle if you need annoyance factors!! C:

Gabie is available if you should need her; Maurice Holmes is your nosy rosey wizard who's finding his own skeletons soon enough.

I can offer to you Rufus Delacroix, Addie's cousin, should you need a pub owner to listen to you, charm you, feed you, and whatever have you. Rover's Fancy is his place for a pint and such.

Feel free to drop me a pm, but again, welcome home, dear!

SJ! Welcome Home!!

The only baby I have to offer, since I'm still getting active myself... Is Miss Chloe.



Chloe's a seventh year now, prefect ravenclaw. And I know we've never written together (I really don't know why, because, obvi we'd be awesome together) but... Chloe's here, ready to hang out and make new friends, and live her life to the fullest. She's got an older boyfriend now, that she LOVES to talk about, (Shade. You know Shade? That boy who graduated last year? Yeah. They share an apartment. They spent the entire summer together. Yeah, they're perfect.) Shut up Chloe...

Anyway. She's got drama going on at home and could use a pal by her side, and I'm trying to get her an actual friend group, so she's not so damn alone all the time! I know that probably barely made sense, but.... yes! So! Friends. yay for Friendshipsss.
