I can see Jimmy responding well to Thomas's influence and may indeed knock it off when he's told to, if only because Thomas seems otherwise fun and less teachery-than-some-other-teachers. Role model plz.

I think Tybalt, if they're pals otherwise, would be the person most likely to keep an eye on Thomas post-ending his quidditch career and do regular check-ins and cheer-up sessions; obviously Tyb quit the sport years before he did, but quidditch was his first love too so he knows the pain of having to leave xD

XD

Yessssss, so Augusta would definitely look out for Thomas too, especially if he's a friend of George's! (She will kick anyone's ass if they don't treat him well, so if Thomas is good to him she will think of Thomas as another brother, probably xD)

Jemima wants to marry for love but I am less interested in giving her what she wants, so am game to hurl her at anyone and everyone. Kit is correct, she also has flirty feelings towards Jack so if the boys are already quidditchy friends she might have ~noticed Thomas already and absolutely would chat with him if given the opportunity to fish for info, if nothing else

Rosamund's uncle was also a quidditch player so she knows they can whinge about injuries, and accordingly thinks the sport is dumb but would tried to have been a sympathetic ear to his complaints nonetheless xD

And headcanon accepted, Aubrey thanks him for his shoulder-carrying. <3

I think that's super cute he'll be Jimmy's role model! Is he coming back for his third year or will most of it be in the past?

Tybalt and Thomas should be best friends, I think we were possibly maybe going to establish that - or at least they were in their school days. Thomas dearly appreciates the cheer-up sessions and wonderful check-ins that he provides and he's doing much better, especially as he found he's really enjoying being a coach for Hogwarts, even though he didn't think he would at first.

Thomas is sweet to everyone, or, at least, he tries to be - he, of course, has plenty of people who don't like him for whatever reason but he generally speaking isn't antagonistic unless it's earned. So, I think he'd be very nice to George and may earn Augusta's favor.

Honestly, everyone coming at me with propositions for Thomas and having to say yes or no is sending me into a low-key panic attack so I don't want to say 100% yes or no to anyone. I kind of want to see where the chemistry leads, though I understand it'll be hard because for Thomas it's more about finding a best friend who'll have kids with him than getting a real wife. But still, if anything, he's happy to know Jemima for Jack's sake if they do become friends.

I also have Cadawalader Selwyn  - he was a talented flyer, got the captaincy of the house team -BUT THEN - the quidditch world cup incident happened, beaters were kicked off the house teams and he lost his spot on the team and his captaincy.  He is however DESPERATE for adult approval even that of an MC muggleborn. 

He would know Ginevra Blackwood - she is a social butterfly whose family sponsor the worst team in the quidditch league each year and hosts parties for the quidditchy people.  He probably received some sort of gift or help from them after his injury, and her father would definitely have provided support for his position at Hogwarts, or tried to talk him into coaching a team.  They are UCPB but generally very nice and good fun.

Yuri Podsnapper  - He's been trying to get on the quidditch team for years, he's attended every practice and covered for some other Hufflepuff house members when they were sick this year.  He FINALLY made the full team in the last few months and is very keen.  He is a bastard orphan who was taken in by a man he tried to rob, but he was also a stone child, so is also 15 years older than his stated age.

Thomas thinks it's absolutely wild that he once had Meserimus as a professor for the majority of his Hogwarts years and now he's one of his colleagues - definitely makes him feel way too young to have this job. Thomas wasn't in his house or anything, but I think maybe he'd ask him for some teacher-ly advice from time to time.

Awe, so Thomas would really feel bad for Cad as they both can relate to having Quidditch taken away from them (ironically both because of bludgers) and he would probably still like him to come and practice with the team, even if he substituted for a different position. Thomas would still even encourage him to practice while on summer holidays and try not to lose the love of the sport.

Yess!! So Thomas signed up for the Blackwood's Charity event as Keeper and he absolutely appreciates the support he gets from her and her family. He probably did consider coaching a team but felt like he was too young to coach professionals (or maybe he was still feeling too sorry for himself), but then ended up deciding to coach Hogwarts students instead. I'm sure they'll get a chance maybe to interact at the charity event and any sort of past threads where he was at any other parties.

Poor Yuri - Thomas doesn't know how to really feel about him being so much older than he actually is. It's kind of wild that Yuri and Thomas would be the same age! But he would definitely offer him tons of encouragement to keep practicing and cheer him on. He was probably very proud of him when he made the team in the last few months and tells him to practice often.
