At the moment I don't have any Quidditch people or any students at Hogwarts for Thomas to interact with. My youngest character, Edgar Minks  is about the same age as Thomas (within a year or two anyway) so they would have spent most of their Hogwarts years together. Edgar Minks was in Slytherin and definitely wouldn't be the sort to tolerate Thomas's loudness. We can certainly plot their past interactions if you like.  For current times, I don't know if their paths would cross much, but always possible. Edgar has a more darker alias which he uses to do his more nefarious activities. (owns brothels and illegal gambling dens, that sort of thing.)

At school, I have Terence Higgs , who came on at the beginning of the current school year as the new Art Teacher. He's friendly and patient so I can see him getting along fine with Thomas, even if he's not much of a Quidditch fan. Then again he's more than willing to do a portrait of Thomas (magical or mundane, his choice). There's always a possibly of some kind of romance, Terence isn't 100% straight, though his preference is still women. If the chemistry is right I don't mind exploring that angle. Just simple friendship works too. Either way we can thread them and see how things go. I have a fair bit of free time on my hand so doing a few posts every week isn't any trouble.

Over the summer there's always a chance Thomas could run into my other two characters...but less likely. Feel free to check out my networking thread for more info on my other characters.

I would be happy to do some past threads if you'd like with Edgar and Thomas! Even if it's more antagonistic in nature, it could be fun to explore. But if not, that's fine too - maybe someday we'll have more compatible characters ^^

Thomas and Terence started teaching at Hogwarts at the same time! So that's cool, though given Terence's age in comparison, Thomas might still look to him for guidance the way he does Mason. Either way, being colleagues, Tom intends to be kind and helpful to Terence and I think even if they don't have a ton in common, they could be work friends. I looked at your Networking and I think if Terence hit on Thomas, just to experiment, I think it could be interesting to see, but I don't think Thomas would be the one to make the move due to their age gap (and the fact he doesn't want to get fired if caught).

When it comes to threading with me, even if you can't reply as fast as me, that's fine. Take all the time you need!
