Adrienne Lestrange is newly married and just moved to Hogsmeade. She's recently graduated, however she was in Slytherin at Hogwarts. She was always very friendly, but considered a bit odd since she and her twin, Aristide were always seen together and always seemed to be able to read each other's minds. She's feeling a bit lonely now that she's moved away from her family.

Benedict Sterling is my auror who's been put through the ringer in the past, but he's had a long career at the Ministry and even had a rief stint as the Head Auror before going missing and coming back with partial amnesia. He's since recovered, and is usual amiable, joking self. He also owns some stables  in Bartonburg!

Hestia is a con-artist and thief that is the bartender at the Hog's Head. She's a bit rough around the edges, but a few people seem to have gotten past that. She's got a few "children" of her own at Hogwarts in Gryffindor namely James Fletcher & Maxwell Beck. And by children, I mean kids who she's fed and looked after on and off throughout the years/recently xDD

Irene Crawley is my artist! She's very friendly and lives in Hogsmeade. Her family are gone, but she runs errands a lot in Hogsmeade so I imagine she knows a lot of people there. She works at the Magical Portrait Gallery in London as an art conservator. Also very friendly!

Hi! Mars might know Adrienne through his sister Katherine? I think they're around the same age so it could be funny to have her think about him as a friend's younger brother.

As for Benedict, he might know any of Mars' family that works at the Ministry, so maybe he's been at a house party or something similar with them?

Hestia, I'm not really sure if she would've met Mars because they seem pretty different, though he could've heard of her from the kids at Hogwarts.

And Irene, they could've met once or twice at the Magical Portrait Gallery?

I'm open to threads for anybody, but they'd probably have to be set in the past lol

I'm not sure if Millie can qualify for a friend for Marshall, since she's a girl and grew up in Bartonburg North to boot. She would be in his Ancient Studies class this year, however, and she might like a study partner for that one. She's a bit quiet, likes novels, should be better at Herbology than she is (her family has something of a penchant for it), and also has a pet cat at Hogwarts. Can always be casual acquaintances and see where that goes? 

Who knows, maybe she's a better enemy/rival? If Marshall is snarky and holds a grudge, perhaps she did something or made a petty misstep that raised his ire? Or he said something and she responded in a way that fostered a grudge?

Romance isn't off the books, but probably nothing bigger than a crush so far. Nor a priority atm.

Thank you, thank you!

Study partners could work well. Ancient Studies or anything else. If she wants to be better at Herbology he could help her out with that because it's one of his favorite subjects, but maybe she has enough help with that lol. We could see where it goes from there?

Again, I'm open to threads
