Name: Andrew Stephen Kirke Age: 19 (DOB 1st June 1983) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1994-2001 Occupation: Administrator for the British and Irish Broom Racing League, Department of Magical Games and Sports, Ministry of Magic. Bloodline: Halfblood PB: AB de Villiers Andrew is one of those people that just doesn't see a problem with the two labels he's usually given - The Gentleman, or The Boy Next Door. The label he really doesn't like is The One Who Is Too Nice And Must Be Gay - he's not, and for the record, is not homophobic, he just really likes girls! He treats them well and wouldn't dream of hurting one. Although this earns him respect from the female of the species, it means they don't always notice him beyond his good looks as a potential boyfriend. Speaking of good looks, his are inherited from his Muggle mother, a South African model named Elize du Plessis, a younger Jerry Hall type figure. He's neither embarrassed nor pleased that his mother is famous - he just accepts it. His father, Ryan Kirke, was a wizard but died seven years ago, an event Andrew still hasn't got over. He has two older siblings, Jonathan and Susan, and a younger sister, Martha. |
Name: Anthony Goldstein Age: 22 (d.o.b January 28, 1980) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: Pediatric Healer at St Mungo's Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Hale Appleman A good-natured (if at times rather sensitive and highly introspective) type, poor "Emothony" has been dragged through the romantic ringer recently with long-time flame Susan Bones having dumped him prior to moving into Euterpe's Corner herself. The pair are now back together, but don't fret. Our ever-resourceful Anthony will soon find something else to grow melancholy over. He lives with Richard Bradley and the Patil twin posse, with Padma providing a voice of reason and Parvati conversely doing what she can to drive him to insanity in the guise of helping him. Perhaps due to the aforementioned circumstances, Anthony is a tolerant sort. Just don't post photographs of him shirtless, no matter how (surprisingly) decent he looks in a towel. |
Name: Blaise Zabini Age: 23 (d.o.b September 29, 1979) House and Year: Slytherin, 1991-1998 Occupation: Assistant Reporter for the Daily Prophet Bloodline: Pureblood, first-generation PB: Getty Guy A rather sardonic young man, Blaise has the potential to be more sociable than what he actually is, but finds most other people beneath his notice, or at least not worthy of an attempt on his part to become better acquianted with them. Being a Slytherin pureblood neither affliliated with Dumbledore's Army or the Death Eaters, plus at the time possessing enough familial wealth not to make either option appear tempting, during the war he managed mostly to keep his distance from the going-ons and emerged relatively unscathed. The Zabinis managed to hang on to their Galleons during that time of upheveal, only to have Blaise's mother (despondent over the loss of her latest husband and the lack of ability - nature having finally caught up with her - to get a new one) blow it all, so that by 2001 both she and her son found themselves with barely a Sickle to their name. Forced into being responsible for the first time in his life, Blaise took over. He sold as many of their possessions as he could, secretly siphoning away money with the understanding that his mother would spend whatever they saved, and landed his current gig at the Daily Prophet. His official role is assistant reporter, but in reality he is little more than a glorified barrista. |
![]() Name: Cho Chang Age: 23 (d.o.b November 17, 1978) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1990-1997 Occupation: Staff Healer, Puddlemere United Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Patty Hou |
Name: Daphne Greengrass Age: 22 (d.o.b October 21, 1979) House and Year: Slytherin, 1991-1998 Occupation: Characters believe she is a "relationship consulant," but she is actually a call girl. Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Sienna Miller In school Daphne was the aloof ice princess who stood in Pansy's gang of Slytherin girls with her eyebrow raised with that imperious expression that said not only was she worth more than your entire family - she was far superior than you too. She still hasn't lost that expression, even though her father is in Azkaban, her brother is in Mungo's, and her mum is a suicide case. Posing as an overpriced Relationship Consultant, Daphne hides her true life as a high priced Muggle Call Girl from everyone, and hides her fear of her precarious house of cards she constructed falling down around her by chain smoking as much as she can. |
![]() Name: Eddie Carmichael Age: 24 (d.o.b September 25, 1978) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1990-1997 Occupation: Assistant Editor for Quidditch Illustrated Bloodline: Halfblood PB: John Krasinski Assistant Editor for Quidditch Illustrated, Eddie is mischievous and self involved. If it doesn't amuse him then he wants nothing to do with it. Instead he will break his usual pattern of laziness and do everything in his power to make the situation amusing. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will make life miserable for the other person until they break, cry uncle, and give in to his demands. He also happens to be engaged to the one person who is possibly more stubborn and ridiculous than he is. |
Name: Ernie Macmillan Age: 23 (d.o.b January 4, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1991-1998 Occupation: Junior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Topher Grace |
Name: Evan Cadwallader Age: 21 (d.o.b November 30, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1992-1997* Occupation: Security troll trainer Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Wayne Rooney * Left school after obtaining his OWLs. |
Name: Hannah Abbott Age: 22 (d.o.b February 27, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff (1991-1998) Occupation: Waitress at the Leaky Cauldron Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Bethany Joy Galeotti |
![]() Name: Katie Bell Age: 23 (d.o.b April 23, 1979) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1990-1997 Occupation: Writer for Witch Weekly Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Kristen Stewart |
![]() Name: Laura Madley Age: 19 (d.o.b July 4, 1983) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1994-2001 Occupation: Administrative Assistant, Department of Muggle Relations Bloodline: Halfblood (halfblood father and Muggleborn mother) PB: Danielle Panabaker Born twelve years after her nearest sibling, Laura was very much the afterthought as far as her parents were concerned. The unplanned nature of her coming into the world very much the Hippogriff in the middle of the room that no one wanted to speak of, her parents made up for it by spoiling her rotten and giving her an overly inflated sense of her own worth, her father in particular been instrumental in this. Wary of being overshadowed by her potions brewer sister and professional Quidditch player brother, Laura has a work ethic that would do a house elf proud, graduating from Hogwarts with six NEWTs and landing prefect and Head Girl roles in the process. Part of the latter, along with her appointment to a Ministry post not long after sitting her final examinations, might have been as much due to a sympathy vote as anything else. Laura's mother, a Muggleborn who held a senior positon in the Department of Muggle Relations, was incarcerated in Azkaban, something from which she never recovered. This in turn led to a decline in health, and she passed away shortly before Laura's sixth year. Her mother's death led to Laura becoming still closer to her father, someone who is very supportive of her but brings out the more irritating facets of her character. An example of what the end product may have been like if Hermione Granger and Percy Weasley had ever married and procreated, Laura means well, but her high-mannered and condescending way of dispensing advice means that it is often ignored, if not slighted. |
![]() Name: Lavender Brown Age: 22 (December 3, 1979) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1991-1998 Occupation: Cleaning Lady Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Alyson Michalka Parvati's unofficial twin, Lavender is best known for mooning over her former Divination professors and coining the unfortunate nickname "Won Won." She came close to redeeming herself for this during the Battle of Hogwarts, which left her with some monthly side effects not of the usual female nature. After a period of counseling by werewolf experts, she reemerged as - at least superficially - the bubbly and none-too-bright (unless you count the colour of her attire) blonde she used to be. These days she professes her biggest worries to her being The Last Single Person In The Building, her avoidance of the Nerd Flat and her best friend's recent fetish for surly Hufflepuffs. |
![]() Name: Lee Jordan Age: 24 (d.o.b December 29, 1977) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1989-1996 Occupation: WNN DJ Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Prevail He's... he's loud. He's loud and he's boisterous, and he's extremely talkative to the point where you might just start to wonder if he ever shuts up. He's vain, slightly shallow, and a bit superficial, heavily believing that looks matter; he's confident in himself and in his looks, and it really shouldn't be a surprise if he holds things like pulling a lot of girls in high regard (especially as he's a bit obsessed with sex - and by "a bit," it's more than a bit... like, a whole lot of bits). He knows nothing about the states of mind called shame and embarrassment, having rarely felt either of the two, and he rarely takes anything seriously - not even his dream job hosting his own late night show at the WWN (evident in the way he disregards Savina Capper's threats of cancellation). He's a bit of a prankster and a trouble maker, nowhere near the level of the Weasley twins' fame, but he does well. Sometimes. His favourite hobbies include annoying "Pouty Lips," talking about anything and everything, and pulling women. He also has no self-control when it comes to others' things, especially when it's of the edible variety. Oh, and he's still chasing Angelina Johnson. On and off, really, because if he continued on faithfully, that would mean being celibate, and he wouldn't last a week even if he attempted. |
Name: Luna Lovegood Age: 21 (d.o.b May 22, 1981) House and Year: Ravenclaw (1992-1999) Occupation: Recently unemployed Bloodline: Mixed, though both sides are old family names. PB: Ludivine Sagnier |
![]() Name: Mandy Brocklehurst Age: 22 (d.o.b February 14, 1980) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: None Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Emilie de Ravin |
![]() Name: Marietta Edgecombe Age: 23 (d.o.b December 13, 1978) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1990-1997 Occupation: Forensic Diviner Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Taylor Swift Best known for being the girl who ratted out the DA (an event she doesn't remember in the slightest), Marietta now makes her way through life working as a Forensic Diviner, visiting her Mum (gravely injuring during the war) at St Mungo's, being dragged along by Cho as usual, eating ice cream, reading bad romance novels and trying to convince Eddie Carmichael to spell her name correctly. Polite, proper and a bit shy, Marietta really is a lovely girl underneath it all, so long as you're not a champion of Obliviation. |
![]() Name: Matilda Dukelow Age: 22 (October 10, 1980) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1992-1999 Occupation: WWN Actress Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Mandy Moore It takes a certain kind of person to tolerate Eddie Carmichael enough to want to spend your life with him. Luckily Matilda Dukelow could eat such a person for breakfast. Petulant, loud, demanding, and a former spoiled princess turned struggling Actress. She lost her parents support when she went after her love of performing and Halfblood editors. She's still holding out hope for a Trustfund once she gets married or turns 25, though knowing her future husband and her parents it'll probably be once she's 50. |
![]() Name: Meaghan McCormack Age: 29 (d.o.b September 9, 1973) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1985-1992 Occupation: Keeper, Pride of Portree Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Tristan Prettyman Meaghan didn't intend on following in her mother's footsteps, but when her older brother Kirley (who she likes to say steals all her good ideas) started up the Weird Sisters it was either that or follow in his. Quidditch brought her fame, fortune beyond what she already had through her mum, an unwanted wartime pregnancy (which she terminated) and a stalker, though the last two thankfully aren't common knowledge. Her hobbies are playing the guitar (which she learned before Kirley, thank you very much), strenuously avoiding children, posting pictures of herself on the front door, counting her freckles and upgrading the privacy wards on her flat and, more specifically, her bedroom. She seeks moderation in everything, including moderation, and is completely unpredictable except when she isn't. |
![]() Name: Megan Jones Age: 22 (d.o.b February 29, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1991-1997* Occupation: Maid in a Muggle hotel Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Jessica Rose An Azkaban survivor, Megan isn't quite as bubbly and vivacious as she was back in Hogwarts... which makes her only about 75% more bubbly than the average person has any right to be. She's obsessed with cleaning, which means her job as a maid is very well suited for her. At least until she manages to buy a real camera and pursue her love of wildlife photography. Her deep empathy with animals makes her a fantastic photographer of them, and also contributes to her being a Vegan and healthfood fanatic. She is one of the most genuinely good people in existence and she would do anything to help a friend. She doesn't dislike people at all and strives to see the good in every bad. * Was incarcerated in Azkaban during the war. |
![]() Name: Melinda Bobbin Age: 24 (d.o.b October 10, 1978) House and Year: Slytherin, 1990-1997 Occupation: Vice-Chair of Bobbins Apothecaries Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Stephanie Sherrin Though her pureblood name runs back centuries, her Gringotts account is stuffed with Galleons and her family is famed within the wizarding world for the success it has achieved, Melinda is far from the stereotype of the spoiled little rich girl. In fact, she's not even a stereotypical Slytherin. She is noted amongst her peers for not caring about houses, (as long as people don't think she's a blood elitist) and for being a big fan of Muggle culture. As well as being Vice-Chair of her father's company, a fact of which she is extremely proud, she runs the Albus Dumbledore Fund in memory of the victims of the Second Voldemort War. You may often find her contemplating mad ideas for a new fundraising adventure. |
![]() Name: Michael Corner Age: 22 (d.o.b March 21, 1980) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: Unspeakable for the Department of Mysteries Bloodline: Halbflood PB: Matt Dallas Michael spent his school years with his nose in a book, his hand on a Beater's bat, his head usually in the clouds, and his heart thoughtlessly handed to one girlfriend or another. Having avoided a dinosaurish extinction at the hands of the Carrows, Michael went on to work as an Unspeakable, where he researches memory modification. He's friendly and sociable, emotional and sulky, and more than anything, he likes being right. While he has a history of being a crusader and has no problem championing lost causes, his toughest (but most rewarding) battle remains getting others to laugh at his jokes. Just remember: the pun is mightier than the sword! |
![]() Name: Miles Bletchley Age: 25 (d.o.b October 24, 1977) House and Year: Slytherin, 1989-1996 Occupation: Chaser for the Falmouth Falcons Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Chase Crawford |
![]() Name: Morag MacDougal Age: 23 (d.o.b September 16, 1979) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: Part-time tutor and nanny Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Elisabeth Harnois |
![]() Name: Neville Longbottom Age: 22 (d.o.b July 30th, 1980) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1991-1998 Occupation: Herbologist Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Ryan Reynolds |
Name: Owen Cauldwell Age: 20 (d.o.b October 1, 1982) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1994-2002 Occupation: Broom maker Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Jamie Bell Introverted and skittish, Owen would give Eeyore a run (or slow mosey) for his money when it comes to gloomy self-deprecation. He's down-to-earth to a fault. Look past his dour and laconic exterior and you'll find he's...well, dour and laconic. But having spent a childhood fearful he might be a fairy changeling and then faced persecution and imprisonment as a Muggleborn, Owen is trying to be more assertive, and he'll even spare a few words to express his displeasure when poked and prodded at. |
![]() Name: Padma Patil Age: 22 (d.o.b June 21, 1980) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: Gringotts Curse Breaker Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Priyanka Chopra The eldest of the Patil twins, Padma is generally known as the 'more serious one' and has a reputation for strong glares and list making. Never as sociable as her sister, she did have some close friends at school and was a dedicated member of Dumbledore's Army as well as a prefect for Ravenclaw. When the war was over, Padma took her N.E.W.Ts and on passing, embarked on the path to becoming a Curse-breaker. Her successful career encountered a set-back when she was skewered through the knee while on the job and she is currently confined to a desk job at Gringotts while undergoing physical therapy. Padma is something of a workaholic and is just a tad bossy. She's also a perfectionist, practical and hates mess, but she does have a mischievous side and she's very caring towards her friends. |
![]() Name: Parvati Patil Age: 22 (d.o.b June 21, 1980) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1991-1998 Occupation: Barmaid, Hog's Head Bloodline: Pureblooded for several generations PB: Priyanka Chopra The youngest (by a scant few minutes) daughter of Imran and Lakshmi Patil, two British-born Indians, Parvati was one of the prettiest and most sociable girls during her time at Hogwarts. She had grand schemes of becoming a dress robe designer a la Madam Malkin, but the war and its aftermath put everything on hold. She dabbled in modelling for woman's magazine Witch Weekly for a while, hoping it would get her foot in the door as a designer. What it did get her was more male attention than she could handle (please to be not interpreting this unfortunate wording literally) and even with her modelling days behind her, Parvati's love life is still as intricate as the Black family tree. Recently she was sacked from her job as a waitress at Circe's due to a falling out of such a nature with the owner, and now finds herself Scorgifying the table tops at the Hog's Head. Not all changes have been for the worse though. While it was sometimes hidden under a veneer of pink and glamour charms, Parvati has always been a brave and kind-hearted witch, and the events of the war have helped her realise an emotional depth and strength of character that she always had the potential to. These days she sees herself as something of the Euterpe's Corner den mother, but watch out for her matchmaking tendencies. |
![]() Name: Penelope Clearwater Age: 26 (d.o.b December 19, 1976) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1987-1994 Occupation: Psychologist, St. Mungo's Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Nicole Linkletter Having been hiding out in France during the events of the war, her Muggleborn status putting her at risk, Penelope made her way back into the Wizarding World in some style. Having obtained a degree in Psychology, she now works for St Mungo's in its new Psychology division - the only specialist in her chosen field, sufferers of the same War she herself had to flee. Still the typical Ravenclaw Prefect, she is classy and carries herself with refined behaviour that is a relic of her privileged upbringing in Muggle High Society, the daughter of an MP. She now is looking to let loose a little... |
![]() Name: Sergei Poliakoff Age: 26 House and Year: Durmstrang Institute, finished in 1994. Occupation: Maintenance and Repair, Euterpe's Corner Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Skeet Ulrich Sergei Poliakoff, a former Durmstrang Institute student and classmate of Viktor Krum's, had been short-listed though not selected for the Triwizard Tournament. Upon completion of his studies, he had worked briefly in the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic before his job was put in jeopardy due to increasing political unrest in the face of Voldemort's return. Moving to Britain, he found himself in unfavourable competition with native wizards and witches who were more familiar with the environment and language, and not really to his choice, ended up being hired as a caretaker and man-of-all-work after the establishment of Euterpe's Corner. Surly and rather unsociable, Poliakoff speaks with a heavy accent and is somewhat resentful that he is forced to chase out doxies and unplug drains for a living when technically he is rather overqualified for the job. He does sometimes argue with Terence on the tenants' behalf, however. And those tenants who manage to get on his good side typically have any problems with their flats repaired very quickly and well. |
![]() Name: Richard Bradley Age: 24 (d.o.b 11 October, 1977) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1989-1996 Occupation: Owner of a magical matchmaking service Bloodline: Muggleborn PB: Jonathan Bennett If you are looking for love and don't mind being mocked behind your back and often times to your face as well, then Richard Bradley is the bloke you need to meet. He's stoic, sarcastic, and likely knows far more about you then you'll ever know about him. Unless you're his girlfriend, Daphne, in which case he hardly knows anything about you. |
![]() Name: Savina Capper Age: 23 (d.o.b August 22, 1979) House and Year: Slytherin, 1990-1997 Occupation: WWN management staff (alias "Pouty Lips") Bloodline: Pureblood PB: Camille Belle Born into an Italian pureblood family, Savina has, does, and possibly always will think that she owns the world. It's not as if she can't afford it. And she's not your friend, no matter how much you may think she is. She will, very seriously, toss you under the bus the moment it will wok in her favour, and she probably won't regret it either. She's evidently selfish, but she's also very proper and a bit od a prude. Toss in the fact that she's at times rude and straightforward and doesn't care much if you like her or not, and you can pretty much guess what she's like in the flesh. However, she's a person of secrecy, often keeping most of her personal matters to herself, but if she's trying to make a point, she has no issue with airing things out for the public to know. Even still, she works in management in the WWN, forcing her to deal with people she wouldn't ordinarily, such as Lee Jordan - who wastes no opportunity to call her "Pouty Lips." At the heart of her, she's a woman with strong familial obligations, which, strangely (or maybe not so much), affect her every word, thought and action. |
![]() Name: Seamus Finnigan Age: 22 (d.o.b April 11, 1980) House and Year: Gryffindor, 1991-1998 Occupation: Theatre worker Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Paul Walker |
Name: Stephen Summerby Age: 22 (d.o.b February 12, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1991-1997(imprisoned in Azkaban during 7th year) Occupation: Bartender at Club Siren Bloodline: Halfblood (raised as Muggleborn) PB: Shun Oguri Adopted by a Muggle couple, halfblood Hufflepuff alumni Stephen was imprisoned in Azkaban during his seventh year and left Britain shortly after his release. After traveling across the world and taking a variety of odd jobs to pay his way, he returned to Britain with little money and moved into one of the lower flats in Euterpe's Corner. Working as a bartender at Club Siren to keep himself financially afloat, he aspires to be a gourmet chef (and has the talent for it too). Honest and friendly, Stephen is a good friend and seems well adjusted, but Azkaban has left mental scars and he has his moments of black depression and hates being in the dark. |
![]() Name: Stewart Ackerley Age: 19 (d.o.b May 19, 1983) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1994-2001 Occupation: Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office worker Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Steven Strait |
Name: Sylvie Fawcett Age: 22 (d.o.b February 24, 1980) House and Year: Ravenclaw, 1991-1998 Occupation: Charms specialist Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Model On the outside Sylvie Fawcett may just look like a giant slag. In reality, however, she's an auntie, a sister, a daughter who argues with her parents and worries about her father, an employee of the Committee for Experimental charms, a huge flirt, a troublemaker, devious and arrogant, a former Ravenclaw, anti-romance and relationships, Morag MacDougal's best friend, loads of people's enemy, and, oh yes, a giant slag. |
![]() Name: Veronica Smethley Age: 27 (d.o.b March 3, 1975) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1986-1992* Occupation: Landlady and socialite Bloodline: Halfblood (Muggle father, Muggleborn mother) PB: Anna Friel Brash, bold, and best known for turning her ankle and having to be carried back to the Den while streaking through a heavy downpour at Hogwarts, Miss Smethley is anything but your stereotypical quiet and retiring upper crust product. Having spent most of the last ten years away from the magical community, she's more than a little rusty and out of place within it, but tries to hide it through her exuberance and enthusiasm. A scandal of a broken engagement involving a third party has forced her to leave the familiarity of the Muggle world, and so she reluctantly finds herself back in Diagon Alley. Disorganised, catered for and coddled all her life, she doesn't quite understand those who live more hand-to-mouth, but whatever happens (and plenty will), this scatter-brained landlady always does the best she can. * Left during sixth year. |
![]() Name: Wayne Hopkins Age: 22 (d.o.b February 5, 1980) House and Year: Hufflepuff, 1991-1998* Occupation: Bartender at a Muggle pub, sometimes manager Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Riley Smith Extremely patient, tremendously easy-going and friendly, as long as you don't bring the drama or the vain (or catch him when he's tired and in a bad mood), Wayne can find something to potentially like about you. Tending to stay off to the side, and having a knack for fading into the background when he wants to, Wayne is just your normal bloke, and keeps himself busy with work (sometimes working more than one shift in a day), his guitar (that he's total rubbish at playing), and indulging in his not-quite-so-healthy junk food obsession. * Did not finish seventh year. |
![]() Name: Wilda Griffiths Age: 26 (d.o.b February 3, 1976) House and Year: Slytherin, 1987-1994 Occupation: Chaser, Puddlemere United Bloodline: Halfblood PB: Laura Harris Former Harpie and current Puddlemere United Chaser, Wilda Griffiths is always looking for the most advantageous way to advance herself and her career. Even at the expense of her memory, which is very faulty to that little disappearance stunt she doesn't remember pulling at the Holyhead-Puddlemere game. |
