Minimum word count is 200.
Lily Luna Potter is the youngest of the dwindling amount of Potters left in the wizarding world, but although there's few left on her now deceased dad's side, her mum's side more than makes up for this. It seems there's a Weasley around every corner in Hogwarts, and on a lot of levels it makes Lily's life harder - but on the same level it just makes things that much more interesting...
Lily has a certain flair for potions, and a skill for developing them that can only come naturally. She's taken to creating concoctions to help with a whole manner of things, and though most were created for personal need she's also invented a few just for fun - and its led to her making more than the odd galleon here and there. She sells under an alias, 'The Thestral', so no one will realise its her.
Friends
In her first year, friendships came easily to Lily. She spoke to anyone and everyone, and ended up having friends in all houses over several years. Things haven't stayed that way. She's pulled back a lot and remains mostly to herself now, but if you were once a friend she most likely still considers you one.
Family
There's a certain loyalty that comes with blood which Lily just can't deny, and whilst she still won't seek out any interaction with her family she won't shy away from it either - and she's probably secretly thrilled about it. But she'll also probably be sarcastic throughout.
Enemies
Enemy is a strong word for Lily - something has to have gone really wrong for you to end up in this category in her head. Although all journalists are in here by default.
Lovers
Look, she's 14. But she's 14 in a mixed boarding school. Shit happens.
Jean Valjean Lemarque Louis de Lafayette IV comes from a line of... well, Jean Valjean Lemarque Louis de Lafayettes. He's vowed that if he ever does breed he's giving the kid their own name - like 'Geoff', or 'Anita'... or maybe just skip everything and name it 'Five'. French aristocracy was never quite his style and he escaped that life long ago - he'd prefer you didn't use the 'de'.
Lafayette is fun and free-spirited, but takes a more serious approach to social justice. He was part of an unsuccessful uprising in his youth which resulted in banishment from his homeland. He'll never shy away from an opportunity to support a cause. He even became an animagus to support one, although admittedly his llama form wasn't overly useful in France...
Oh, also, ask him about his fake leg. He dares you.
Friends
Lafayette tends to get on with everyone he meets. If you've had a conversation you're most likely considered a friend, especially if you met in the pub. He likes meeting new friends in pubs.
Students
Teaching wise whilst not the most lenient, he's certainly not strict. You can get away with a lot in his classes if you do the work, or at least try to. He'll probably turn a blind eye where other teachers don't, unless you're hurting someone - that's when he'll step in.
Enemies
You don't get kicked out of a country without making some enemies. Luckily he's not come into contact with any of these for a good long while now.
Lovers
Lafayette is disinterested in sex and relationships for the most part. He doesn't mind some fun now and then but it in no way fuels his brain process. Also there's no sexy way to take off a leg. He's tried. (Notable exception: that one time with the sex swing. That worked.)
Lisa Deanna King is a no-nonsense business woman on the outside, and an absolute mess on the inside. Having spent over a decade after finishing Hogwarts focusing on a relationship whilst it burned into the ground, she's instead spent the last 3 years focusing on herself. She likes to run, she likes to go for nice food, and she really likes dancing around her kitchen in her underwear whilst loudly belting muggle pop songs.
Lisa spent the majority of her divorce settlement money on a 5th floor apartment overlooking the Thames on London's Southbank, and whilst she barely sees her ex-husband now she's actually still pretty close to his family - especially his sister. She's decided that next time (if there is a next time) she's not letting what she thinks of the guy's family dictate what she thinks of him.
Friends
Even though she rarely has time to catch up with her friends, Lisa loves nothing more than a good gossip. Especially if it can be over a decent meal and a bottle of wine or three. She works hard, but she also plays hard.
Colleagues
In a work environment Lisa is more reserved. She's good at her job and she knows it, and she doesn't really see the need for everyone she works with to know her business. She's friendly and she'll have fun with her colleagues but for the most part she's not going to be opening up to any of them.
Enemies
Her ex-husband has to come under this heading by default, right? Really, he's a grey area - something about too much history and good memories for there to truly be any bad blood. Although that doesn't stop her from wanting to push him off a building.
Lovers
Lisa went from a long-term high school relationship to dating the guy she would eventually marry within barely a few months. Although between separation, divorce, trying to make things work, and the eventual "absolutely fuck off now mate" she did get in her fair share of tinder dates... Right now she's happy with a decent lay and not much else. She's a romantic at heart, she just doesn't need that right now.
Christian George Fraser has an attention problem. He's either paying too much or too little, and he's not sure he ever gets it right. All he wants to do is keep moving. Dancing, playing quidditch, free-running. His life revolves around being able to move. He has an addictive personality and it shows in his hobbies - sports, friends, intoxicants. He Commits.
Christian is also convinced he's dying every time he coughs. He went over on his ankle when he was younger and thought it was nothing, but it turned out to be broken and he was on crutches for six weeks. As a particularly active 8 year old, this was hell. Since then he's not quite trusted his instinct when it comes to his own health. He spends a lot of time at the Hospital wing, just in case. Although given his cynical nature he's very blase about it (on the outside).
Friends
He likes to pretend that he pushes people away, but in reality he's like a limpet. Once you're in he's clinging and you will hear all his laments and life problems. You'll also have a lot of fun though. He's always up for a party and some escapism. #yolo
Family
Christian is from a big family and is used to being surrounded. Naturally he prefers some family members to others, but he'll always be there for any of them. He's the youngest of his generation, but due to a large age gap he already has a nibling at Hogwarts (in second year). He does try to give them space and not embarrass them, but he definitely keeps an eye out for their well-being on the sly.
Enemies
Dominique Weasley. She hates him.
Lovers
Dominique Weasley. He loves her.
He likes to think he's over his crush on Dominique Weasley. He's lying to himself. He's fancied her since first year and he's not exactly subtle - except they had a huge row in fifth year and he realised it couldn't last. He started actually seeing people after that. None of them lasted, but he went out there!! He did it!! Now its two years later and whilst he still thinks she's the most beautiful being he's every laid eyes on, he's can actually consider her flaws. She's not on that pedestal anymore, but he'd still follow her anywhere in a heartbeat.
Beatrice (Bringer of Joy) Hero (Brave One) Selwyn (Castle-Friend) loves words. They fascinate her in every way. Its probably to do with the fact she spent most of her life unable to hear, reading all the books she could get her hands on - which, given the library in Selwyn Manor is a lot. Since being able to hear thanks to magic fish in her ears, her current life mission is to learn any language she comes into contact with as thoroughly as possible. Preferably whilst also snuggled up with her girlfriend.
Bea often comes across as someone who's not altogether focused. Its just her nature - she's probably paying more attention than you think she is. She also has a habit of not reacting in the way people would expect her to. In that, she doesn't really react to anything - she'll treat someone telling her someone is dead with the same demeanour as someone telling her its currently raining. You get used to it.
She was born deaf and can now only hear because of fish that live in her ear canal throughout the day. Its made her an advocate for disabled rights in both the Wizarding and Muggles worlds. Because she spent so much of her life signing over speaking she's often slower to respond verbally. She does also have a habit of just taking her babelfish out when she wants some quiet time though... and not just when its time for bed.
Friends
Quiet by nature, Bea can come across a little reserved, but once she's spent more time with someone she does open up. She can be genuinely funny even if often the butt of the joke, but always takes it in good humour. She'll stand by you no matter what.
Family
The only blood relative Bea has left is her grandmother and she honestly has mixed emotions about her. On the one hand, she's fed and clothed her, given her a home, and she learnt sign language for her even when she thought she'd never get to meet her. On the other, she likes to remind her constantly that being a Gryffindor is 'not the Selwyn way' and that her parents supported the wrong side of a war and somehow that resulted in their deaths, without actually telling her how either of them actually died. So, yes, they have issues. To be frank, Bea much prefers Vee's papa to her nain.
Enemies
The thing with Bea is, she often fails to notice when someone is being mean to her. She'll respond to them in the same way she'd respond to anybody which often frustrates them. So whilst some people may not like her, in reality she still likes them. Its just how she is.
Lovers
Viola G. Bennett - we could practically just leave this heading at that. Bea fancied Vee from the moment she saw her on their first Hogwarts Express journey, and held that torch for a while without telling her at all. When their first Hogsmeade trip was announced in their third year she was determined to build up the courage to ask the Ravenclaw to go with her. She chickened out. But its OK, because Vee asked her anyway and they've been dating ever since.

Cousins! Dom isn't exactly the talking about your feelings type, so I don't really know how she'll have dealt with the whole Harry thing other than trying to go along as normal - working past her feelings is sort of her thing, so idk whether Lily would have found that comforting that Dom is not trying to be all sympathetic and try to talk to her about stuff. But trust that she's not someone that would probably ever try to talk to Lily about it unless Lily brought it up first.
Dom's very interested in Lily's potential, as one of the younger members of the family, and she wants to see Lily live up to that potential and be an invested and helpful member of her group 'Wizard's For a Better World' - I can imagine Dom really trying to get Lily involved over the years, and she's not the sort of girl that gives up easily, so Lily would really have to try her best to shake her haha.
Different years and houses, I don't see an immediate reason for these two to interact other than Jasper indulging in some of Lily's potion concoctions, but even then he wouldn't know that it was hers. We might be able to come up with someone fun in the future though, cos Jasper's a sweet guy, and Lily deserves a Soft Boi like Jasper in her life.
Paisley has no interest in the little Potter or even the big Potters unless they have the ambition to go anywhere in their life - otherwise, they're not really worth her wasting her time getting to know. She needs contacts, not people who'll slow her down. But watch out because Paisley's a do-gooder and a pretty unforgiving Prefect. If she catches you and about or causing trouble out of hours, you'll be reported to the staff for sure.

Not talking about your feelings type is definitely going to be a bonus for Lily. She wants normal again, so Dom acting the same as always probably means that Lily ends up gravitating towards her a lot, even if she doesn't realise it herself. She's also probably enjoying pretending she has no idea what "Wizard's For a Better World" is every time Dom brings it up, mainly because she can't decide if she can handle being part of an organised school group right now so she's defecting. I have no doubt that Dom will eventually bring her round to joining, if even just so she'll shut up about it....
Jasper has definitely bought some of Lily's potions! I imagine he was one of her first customers... if we want them to interact more maybe he even sells for her? Although if that's the case he may be in on the operation... maybe he's just found out who's been making this stuff? Or he's known all along? There's a few angles we could go with this if we want to go this route!
These guys probably have 0 interaction, agreed - especially if Lily knows she's the type who may try and catch her out, she will be steering well away as long as she's able to. Although next year if Paisley does become Head Girl I imagine she may be trying to crack this drug ring business - so she's going to have to be extra careful when/if that time comes.
Nate doesn't do friends. He just doesn't. He's too much of a jerk to really be friends with anyone nice or nice-minded except for Lottie, but I think he likes Lily's moxie. He has a sort of friendship that isn't really a friendship with James and like...no one knows about it except for them two. He's also just the right amount of shady that he probably realized she was Up To Something, but didn't quite realize what it was. Now, he wouldn't dabble in illegal potions or distribute them, but he would a 100% help her with everything legal. (He's an aspiring lawyer. Which, don't let that make you think he's a good person. He's going into corporate lawyering so he can make money and be an asshole and be paid to be a jerk.)
Lily doesn't like journalists, which Ben thinks is a very fair thing to dislike because journalists are generally trash. He should know. He was one of them. XD He was also Minister of Magic, too, and he thinks that politicians are also trash so...I'm not sure that the two of them would have had much interaction. In his younger days, he was a bit of an anarchist and wanted to bring the Ministry down for the sake of building up a governing body that actually functioned. >.> He ended up being a bit more socialist in nature, however. I'm sure the two would have met in some regard because Lily is a Potter and he was MoM. James looks so much like James I that Ben's first words to him were, "Your grandpa was an asshole." or something like that. XD I think Ben would like Lily a lot more.
Cece is a fashion guru and also a social guru and has probably too many followers to be healthy to her ego, lol. In all actuality, she's a nice girl. She likes to party and she likes to have fun. I imagine that they don't have the best of friendships, but that they like...nod at each other in the hallway and occasionally bond over being put in the spotlight?
Lily and Nate definitely have the fact they don't do friends in common... but she'd be aware of him, and probably aware he wants to go into law. I can see her seeking him out in the future if she thinks something might go down. But it would totally be in a "So, I have this friend... hypothetically what would you tell her?" way.
I think you're right and these guys have definitely been introduced, probably when he was Minister for Magic and she was much younger! I'm not sure they interact at all now but they'll at least be on each other's radar.
A gentle friendship here sounds about right! Hallway nods, maybe chatting when they end up walking down the same stretch of corridor? Lily isn't one for friendships but she's not mean at all, they probably follow each other on instagram and make sure to like each other's posts when they see them!
Nate thinks that's incredibly hilarious because he's as-friends-as-Nate-can-be with James. Him giving her any law advance would amuse him probably too much. He lives for being a terrible influence, tbh
probably! Cece probs comments a bunch on Lily's Instagram and tells her how great she looks in whatever. She's also always on her social media, so she'd always be amongst the first big name/popular people/people of note that likes Lily's stuff. Always comments something, even if it's just 'GORGE!'
Nikolette I. Abercrombie & Lily Luna Potter Niko will be a loyal customer and probably for some time. Since she's artistic, she likes to experiment with things that make her brain feel different, because the art that comes out of it is fascinating to her. Niko's muggle niche would be like...Stoner Hipster, if that makes it simpler. Besides that, I think they would get along famously despite the age difference!
The Thestral definitely sounds up Niko's street, yep! I think they'd get along well too. They both prefer to be solitary but I could totally see them ending up like working near each other in the library a lot. Or even maybe an overlap in a club at some point? I feel like their personalities would definitely make one of those friendships where its like "we don't discuss our feelings but we hang out a lot"
James Sirius Potter / Jean V. L. L. de Lafayette IV James is a total wad and not an actively participating student. However, he follows in his grandfather's footsteps and has developed quite a talent in Transfiguration. So, while he doesn't complete assignments and is a total drag (if he shows up to class), when he's there, he can perform (mostly). Maybe there's some contention? Jean should shut him down in front of people, that would really get him riled up.
Nikolette I. Abercrombie / Jean V. L. L. de Lafayette IV Niko's a very good student, but she sits to the back of class, doesn't like to have any attention, does her work and moves on. How he would take this is your call!
Valentino Rosier-Rowle / Lily Luna Potter Val is going to be taking an interested in Dominique E. Weasley, in trying to recruit her to Hextra. In his and Ezra A. Morris's current thread, Ezra has mentioned Lily as one of his talented students. Maybe they meet through him somehow? Val is on the board of directors and participates in a lot of Hogwarts initiatives, there's a chance they could cross paths.
Joy Therese Sweeting / @all Unfortunately, I don't see much overlap. Wump. The only potential plotline I do see is Joy maybe trying to figure out who the Thestral is. She's a prefect and a total goody-two-shoes.
Rochelle Rosmerta / Jean V. L. L. de Lafayette IV I plotted with Nel thinking that maybe Ezra A. Morris may be familiar with Madam Rosmerta because he is in Hogsmeade often. Jury's still out since I haven't heard back from Nel yet, but we could do the same sort of thing. Even though Roe doesn't live in Hogsmeade, she frequents her mom's place a lot, and I'm sure they would all have a hoot painting the town red on the odd night.
Rochelle Rosmerta / Lisa Deanna King SO, I NEED THESE TWO TO KNOW EACH OTHER LIKE I NEED AIR. Rochelle would think that Lisa is just total life goals in every way, and think she is the coolest person ever, and just want to pick her brain about her career and her life. I like the idea we came up with about a "mentorship" program that some ambitious seventh years can participate in that pairs them up with an older witch/wizard who has a fruitful career or something. Idk, we can leave the details blurry. But now they're just actually good friends and Lisa is like the total backboard for all the life advise that Roe wants and needs, because even though she loves her mom, her mom is also seventy years old and has no idea how to be young again. Lol. LOVE.
Yes yes yes we keep talking about this but never doing it! I'm mostly mobile for the next week so if you could throw a starter out? We've both got some fairly intense threads atm so maybe something more chilled... Sibling bonding? Gryffindor common in the middle of the night when neither of them can sleep? I honestly don't mind tho throw anything out there!
Ooooooooh I love the idea of Val being like "come work for me" and Lily being like "I literally just want to brew potions" because honestly that's all she cares about. I need to finish / post my timeline actually though as there's some stuff in Lily's future having a board member on her side may help with...
I feel like if Lily goes on Hogsmeade weekends at all she uses the time to buy potions ingredients and then just spends the rest of the day sat in the Three Broomsticks with a book, so if Rochelle is around those days to help out there's deffo potential for something?
Oh my god OK so with Lafayette if you can do the work he's totally cool, and he doesn't care that much about the methodology. However if James is disruptive in class too that's a different story. Like messing with your own time is one thing but distracting other students trying to do work would piss him off. And his reaction to that would be a heavy dose of sarcasm with a small amount of public humiliation. Essentially, he's calling the pricks out in class in front of everyone (well, if he knows the student can take it without a breakdown, he's not a dick).
Honestly if the kid is happy Lafayette is happy! As long as Niko's doing her work he's not gonna be concerned about a shy nature. He's not gonna call on her in class or anything like he does with James, if he thinks she'd need help with anything he'd take her aside - but honestly if she's generally a good student he'd wait for her to actually ask anyway!
Hahaha yes Val and Lafayette both being Ezra's friend means they definitely cross paths! Lafayette is always up for a good time so would probably take up most invites to leave the castle and hang out. Although he's deffo not big on the shopping front.... He's leaving that entirely to Ezra A. Morris.
Yeah this definitely works. Lafayette is bit on his wine and the castle probably doesn't support that habit much so I imagine appearing at the Three Broomsticks is a more regular occurrence than expected from a professor.... (he just wants a decent red, OK!)
Nah I don't see anything immediate. Although Nike is creative so maybe there's something in the future if she decides to look into any corporate work experience? Designs for quivs or something.
Honestly I love all this. And the mentor aspect is a really cute idea. We should start them out with a hext thread for sure? Like they're both busy but they keep in touch so they should totally hext a lot even if they don't see each other a lot (I'm assuming with Rochelle being a mediwitch they would have conflicting schedules!!). My thing with Lisa is she definitely has a front in the office environment, there's a difference between colleagues and friends so she'd be more open with Rochelle for sure and that could be really fun!
Yeah except for the obvious Jean V. L. L. de Lafayette IV is a teacher there isn't much here! Although ohhhhhh if she's get close on working Lily Luna Potter out in the future.......
Scarlet is a quite bit younger than her but she's friends with Rochelle Rosmerta . They might know each other through Val too. They were childhood friends. Scarlet attends the same galas and charity stuff as Val and also invested in the company some years back. Not common knowledge though.
Scarlet Taya Hansen and Jean V. L. L. de Lafayette IV Scarlet would probably feel really comfortable around Jean during school hours and stuff. She's a school healer. But I think that his presence would be soothing in a way because she knows he's not... up to anything. She doesn't go drinking with him, though she wouldn't say no to a glass of wine.
We've discussed this a little but I am so here for these two on spa days!! Lafayette's a big fan of self-care and spa days definitely come under that heading. He loves to be pampered.
Nate lives to passively aggressively drag Lafayette. Like, specifically starts off his questions with, “Professor Lemarque Louis de Lafayette the Fourth” and then tries to get him to go off on weird tangents. Nate never turns in anything but his best, so he’d be the opposite of a lot of Lafayette’s normal students. He’s fantastic on paper and a nightmare in person, lol. He laughs at causes and doesn’t support a great deal of them.
Oh my god. Are these two going to be fun. Because they will not be friends, oh no. Nate hates likes everything there is about Dominique Weasley. Except antagonizing her. That might literally be his #1 pastime. I think that Nate and Christian would also fight, especially since Nate also does not get along with Jasper (as in, he pretends he has no idea who Jasper even is). I imagine that he would like...call Christian out on his bull all the time, particularly about his weird tendencies.
I dunno about these two, but I think that Cece loves Professor Lafayette. He’s just the particular brand of a mess that she loves. I imagine that she does do a bunch of experiments with fabric and animals and the such and so she just shows up to his office/office hours like, “I have the best idea and also maybe keep your leg attached on Saturday night or you might not, you know, have the best morning on Sunday, but enough about you and totally about me - do you think this would work?”
Aww. Cece thinks that Christian is adorable and precious and must be protected at all costs? I think she’s closer to Jasper, but they’re both Hufflepuffs and they’d be really good acquaintances at best. She’s always down to party and likes to plan them or plan to attend them. And if he is convinced he’s dying at every cough and Cece likes to abuse her powers to tell him that he’s not dying and to focus on blah,blah, blah whatever.
Cece wants to work as a model so badly for someone who isn’t her Mama. She loves Quivs. She loves how it connects her with so many people and she has blown. The french toast. Up. She loves Lisa’s whole BRAND, probably because she doesn’t know anything about her personal life. XD I imagine she has a bunch of different articles about her, lol.
MILES ASKS HIM ABOUT HIS LEG. At least once a week. He’s fascinated with the concept of magical prosthetics and totally confused about it at the same time. I’m not saying that that’s the only reason he shows up to class, but I’m saying it’s probably a very big reason. Oh my god. He absolutely does not turn in 90% of any homework assigned, but he answers every question.
Miles thinks that Christian is cute, but in a different way than like Cece does. He’s confused about why Christian shows up to any of their club meetings when Dom hates him, but he doesn’t discourage it. Is just confused. I think, a little antagonistically, he likes to ask Christian about really weird magical illnesses just to see how he reacts. But, also, I think he sides a little more with Dom on things and tries to avoid Christian where he can.
These two! I'm so intrigued to see how they play out. As we've said, they share a couple of classes, of which I think particularly Arithmancy will be really fun. Toby doesn't quite get Christian, but they're friends for sure and he's desperately loyal to him. I'm excited to thread these two & see how it goes, definitely want to make more of them than just 'oh the roommate who is left'
