Who the @!$! is----Figaro Sellaphix? Don't say his last name. Call him Fig, if you're a friend, and if you're not,
who invited you? Fig
aro Sellaphix is a friend to many with his openhearted, talkative nature. From a young age (did you know he once ate an
Alihotsy leaf), he's kept his ear to the ground and his mouth open, spilling secrets,
sometimes singing them, his hand raised to stop your hex, his other hand hiding a
gift behind his back, ready for forgiveness, ready to relinquish grudges. Just help him to his flat at night, will you, after he's ordered a dozen of the strangest drinks on the menu? Don't let him be a
bench person, if you're a friend.
He's grown up a bit since school, actually. Look at him, promising not to tell about
Moira's moonlit adventures, cleaning up his
mum's shop while she was possessed, oh and
flirting with a customer, and getting a date. Sources say this is very exciting, sort of surprising, but not really, because he's Fig of the look Ma, no gloves no jacket no winter boots policy, Fig of the crooked hat, and plaid pants, and big Hufflepuff heart.
There was that one time he sneaked onto
Level Two and charmed his way right into Solomon Carstairs' office and asked a bunch of questions about pentrals, but he paid for that,
once,
twice,
three times.
Four. Shut up! He doesn't even read the Prophet. He's a coffee fetcher. How many times does he have to tell you? Look at him,
sharing a coffee with the kindly, totally harmless Mr. Leslie, and forgetting a coffee once for the great Queen G. He made amends for that by asking Gen about her
love life with Kurby. Shut up.
Ok, we'll let you say it just this once. Get it out of your system. Go on.
Fig!
Figaro.
Figaro Sephalix?
No. Try again.
Figaro! #*&$^! Sellaphix!It was clear from just a minute watching that Figaro Sellaphix wasn’t clever enough to have done what Blake had brought him in for.Mel's Edward Pratt in
Let Them Fly the NestFigaro Sellaphix had a big mouth and had never been too far from trouble in Ignan’s opinion, along with many of the other students. For all Figaro’s shortcomings, the Professor could not doubt his pluck...Kit's Ignan Storm in
As Deep as a Bite, As Dark as the NightFigaro was not one that dealt well with direction and that could make him the best journalist the magical community had seen in a good long while.Michael's Minerva McGonagall in
A Full DisadulationWas Fig giving terrible suggestions on purpose, or was he really that daft? She had to laugh at his description of what she'd look like in the uniform. Giggling, she thought about how nice it was to chat with Figaro and not just grope at each other in some dark corner. Bri's Zia Pirelli in
QT Pies"...Like when Figaro asked me out he basically said, 'like your tits in that top. we should makeout' AND I SAID OKAY, WINNIE. How is that a reaction to anything?!"SJ's Sophie Flickwick in
Toast & JamAnd you know I've always liked Figaro. He's funny and he's always been nice and between me and you I think that he's a good looking guy.Thea's Winifred Oliver in
