Hi Hyacinth!

This is a quick drive by that I may add too later when I'm not half asleep:

For hurls: Felix Prewett is homosexual and is the identical twin of his quidditch playing brother.
For a wife hurl: @"Dahlia Potts" is husband hunting but wants a love match and @"Anandhita Pomfrey" is currently a Hogwarts student and is debuting very very soon.

Omg, so James totally will remind Thomas of him at his age! Both of them are fast talkers and always energetic and getting hurt due to sports and such. Though, of course, Thomas grew out of some of it and he'd definitely be the teacher to be like, listen, knock it off. He'd offer advice and he'd be supportive of him playing and try and help him improve, but he's also like knock it off before I make you run so many laps you wish your legs could be detached.

I'm always down for Quidditch acquaintances! It makes me wonder if they would still keep in contact with Thomas after his accident since he feels like that part of his life completely died that day. He might try writing them letters and check up on them, see how it's going if anything interesting is happening that season, especially Augusta because she would have been playing at the same time he was and so they'd know each other as opponents. Though I see that Theodore and Thomas would have played against each other for one year (the '80-'81 school year) so there's that.

Totally if Rosamund wants to treat Tommy Boy's injury I'm down - I imagine he was out in a coma for a good month or two and had to deal with a lot of bone healing and even now he deals with constant aches and pains, especially if he overdoes it with his muscles while training with the house teams. I think Thomas downplays his injuries a lot because he's super bitter and heartbroken about it killing his Quidditch career and this might cause him to be especially ornery with the healers who treated him.

Listen - if Jemima is looking and doesn't mind the fact that Thomas technically will never love her in the way she wants, I'm trying to get Thomas at least courting by the end of the summer. He's not interested in women, but he's interested in being a father so he's willing to deal with it and he's hoping to at least be best friends with whomever he marries. I think he'd find her personality sweet; being bubbly and optimistic - and when she's being insecure about herself and he's like a ray of sunshine like you're amazing!! Though he's Muggleborn and I can just see her parents grilling him on everything about his parents and what they do as Arthur Weasley did to Hermione and Harry.

Aubrey!! He's so cute lmaoo. Thomas totally finds him in the broom shed and puts him on his shoulder all casual.

Oh this all sounds wonderful!

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

But to start us off together, I would love to start with George/Thomas & Jack/Thomas <3 George is also MJ's Augusta's brother and Jemima is one of Jack's connections in that he flirts with her on the regular and kissed her once. xD So there is that as well if Thomas knows my boys and also knows those particular MJ characters. 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

look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3

Kenneth being a soft purist basically means he is fine with muggleborns and muggles existing - just don't try marrying into my family. He also isn't obvious and blatant about those views though so there'd be no reason for Thomas to be aware of his views.

But to start us off together, I would love to start with George/Thomas & Jack/Thomas <3 George is also MJ's Augusta's brother and Jemima is one of Jack's connections in that he flirts with her on the regular and kissed her once. xD So there is that as well if Thomas knows my boys and also knows those particular MJ characters. XD

Okay, good to know, thank you!! I'd be happy to write with Jack & George! :D And I'll keep those bonus connections in mind for the future.

Hi Hyacinth!

For a wife hurl: @"Dahlia Potts" is husband hunting but wants a love match and @"Anandhita Pomfrey" is currently a Hogwarts student and is debuting very very soon.

I don't know what a hurl is and I'm afraid to ask.
But, I'm sure Thomas knows Felix's brother, perhaps has played against him before he retired, and so they could know each other through that. They would have been in school together for Thomas's 1st-3rd year, but being in different houses, I'm not sure how much they would have interacted.

For Dahlia and Ani, if either of them is specifically looking for love, then I suppose they're out of luck with Thomas because he can only offer friendship, but you know. I shouldn't really promise anything one way or the other for him courting because I don't know, and I feel bad if I say yes to one person and say no to another and I don't know for sure yet. I offered a maybe for MJ for Jemima but I suppose there's no harm in having him socialize around for the season and see what happens.

Lovely Set by MJ!

My main person people for you would be Meserimus Valenduris - who is the Slytherin HoH and potions prof, he isn't much for quidditch but is a grandad type to pretty much everyone

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.

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.

My main person people for you would be Meserimus Valenduris  - who is the Slytherin HoH and potions prof, he isn't much for quidditch but is a grandad type to pretty much everyone

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.

Lovely Set by MJ!

Jimmy will definitely be around for third year so lots of time for future fun <3

Yes would love Tyb/Thomas bff times – we should definitely thread them!!

And do not worry at all re: romantic hurls, by "hurls" most of us generally just mean throwing people together in a thread and seeing if there's chemistry/if anything sticks! I am notably bad at planning anything romantic in advance so am very much a see-where-things-go/no pressure kinda person, no need to formally declare yes/no with me at any stage xD Hence my throwing Jemima at every male character on the board just to see

Let me know where you want to start thread-wise? I am up for anything, can start if you want me to, and my adult characters can easily be at the charity quidditch match if Thomas has room for threads there, for example~

I'm totally up for Tyb/Thomas threads if you'd like!

Okay, thanks for clearing that up - I just feel like if I say yes to someone I'll feel really bad for those that I said no to or there might be someone who works better but I didn't get a chance because I already made a commitment. I just want to see who Thomas feels most comfortable with through writing and development rather than just guessing. I'm not too great at love matches (or fake love matches) without some development first.

I think Tyb would be the first one we could do a thread with? I'd be more than happy to do some charity event threads so really anyone you think will see him and talk to him, I'm open to writing with! ^_^

Hiya! I don't have any kids but for Thomas, here are some options:

Alasdair Greyback is a little older and UC but he's very social so they might interact if Thomas is in the ~season scene. He's pretty easy going, doesn't want to make waves but likes to have fun.

Reuben Crouch is also a little older but MC. He has similar interests (Ex Quidditchers unite) but frankly he's a bit of a mess now, and has been for months, so not much fun in the friend department xD

And finally Fortitude Greengrass is slightly younger, MC, doesn't "get" Quidditch but is friends with other former Quidditch players (notably Cassius Lestrange) so that's not a deal breaker. If Thomas wouldn't mind someone occasionally going on nerdy rants about ghosts they could be friends.

Thomas is definitely going to be in the season scene because I have intentions to marry him off xD Whether it works or not we shall see. So, he could definitely interact with Alasdair during that time - I think they would both get along as they're both social and fun loving.

It's cool that Reuben was second string for the same team that Thomas played second and first string for (though he was still a student during Reuben's time). I read up on his drama and poor him D: That's yikes. Maybe when he feels better he might want to hang out with Thomas because he's always in the mood to shove down sadness and have a good time lmao.

I think Fortitude and Thomas would get along well; honestly, Thomas would find it funny that he doesn't get Quidditch, plus given he's no longer playing since his injury, it would do him some good to learn about new hobbies and interests. They could've known each other in school, maybe. Also, Thomas would love to hear about ghosts and will probably ask him dorky questions about haunted houses from a muggle perspective (since he's muggleborn). Side note, he thinks he's cute.

Lovely Set by MJ!

Hello!! For Florian and Elisabeth I have Venusia Crickerly and Lester Hatchitt - Elisabeth would remind Venusia quite a bit of herself, so she'd be moderately more friendly than one might expect. Florian wouldn't be likely to get a ton of empathy from her, but Lester is a deeply nervous person who would probably try to give Florian some good-natured advice. or if you want a "have you considered getting a grip," interaction there, Venusia could deliver!

For Thomas, I have Cash Lestrange - an 1884 graduate and former professional Quidditch player. Cash is generally rather distant with people and his family is far more conservative than Thomas is, but I can definitely see them being casually friends because Quidditch was Cash's whole life, too.

I wouldn't mind having some older year advice for my students That would be fun! Florian especially needs to be told to chill lmao.

Thomas and Cash probably know each other at least casually as they've probably played against each other while they were on professional Quidditch teams (and a little bit when they were both on house teams!). Out of sportsmanship, might have hung out as a team from time to time. I'm not decided yet, but Thomas may end up in the ministry as a washed up quidditch player in the same department too xD We shall see. But yeah, definitely up for a small friendship if you are.

Lovely Set by MJ!

I'm afraid I really don't have much for you :/ but piggybacking off last time

Sloane Bixby is my only student; she would flat out avoid Elisabeth, but would probably be friendly to Florian if they were to interact! Also the aforementioned Quidditch connection! Thomas would have gone to school with her two oldest brothers, Rufus and Alvin!

Mason Skeeter is the herbology professor!

For Thomas I don't have any gents close in age, but Elsie Kirke is MJ's Tybalt's wife and would have been in Gryffindor with him as well! She's kind of useless at the end of her pregnancy, but she's there lol. Gemma Simpson is a couple years younger, but also a Gryffindor! She was into quidditch in school, but never played. She's super outgoing and friendly!

Tabitha Chevalier is my only emotionally available hurl, but she's a half-veela, which may be interesting, because Thomas isn't into women XD

  

---

Hallo lovely!! I also have very little for you unfortunately but:

Irene Crawley is a Hogsmeade resident and artist who's around Thomas' age but she left Hogwarts cause #workingclass - but her father was a muggle so I could see her befriending Thomas if they ever crossed paths! The only thing is she rarely goes into Irvingly, it's a little too close to home and it makes her miss her family (all dead xD)

If Thomas knows Cash, I also have Cash's wife, Adrienne Lestrange! Adrienne was also in Slytherin and a friendly person then, so if Elisabeth would have talked to Adrienne, she would have easily chatted with her without any issues.

aannnddd unfortunately that's all that I have, I think! <33

What sticks out most to me is that Florian is naturally gifted in Herbology, especially as he already has some background tending to Muggle plants while working with his parents in their flower shop. Given that he spends a lot of time alone, I can see him volunteering all the time to help Mason in the greenhouses just to spend some extra time with the plants, talking to them and such.

As for the various ideas for Thomas - he's outgoing and friendly and the type of person to go out of his way to greet everyone and make sure that they are not ignored. I can see him maybe having said hello to Sloan in passing because he knew her brothers, he would have been friendly to both Elsie and Gemma if he saw them around the common room back when they were in school or if he ran into them out and about. And if Ty and Thomas are going to be bffs (literally I don't know if that's still a thing bc I was away and I don't want to assume), I'd assume he's very friendly and kind to Elsie as his wife. Sort of like she inherited an unofficial brother-in-law because they're friends.

Also! If you want to do an awkward hurl with Tabitha, that could be fun! I'm assuming her charms won't work on him because he's homosexual? I'm not entirely sure what the lore is there - if it matters. But he'd still be very sweet to her (and might pretend to swoon more if he knew she was half-veela just so it wasn't obvious he wasn't unaffected). Nevertheless, it might be interested for her to meet a man who isn't falling over themselves.

Hallo lovely!! I also have very little for you unfortunately but:

aannnddd unfortunately that's all that I have, I think! <33

Thomas goes to Hogsmeade from time to time, especially as he's fond of The Three Broomsticks so there's definitely a chance he'd come across Irene even if she doesn't see him in Irvingly. He will have her know he also left Hogwarts after his O.W.L.s, albeit for a different reason, so he at least understands what it's like to maybe be a bit behind his peers. He may have seen her at Hogwarts as an older year, just in the common room. But, nevertheless, I'd be interested in a possible friendship if you are :D

Of course, if Thomas is friendly with Cash it's on principle he'd be very polite and friendly to his wife. He might be reminded a bit of his little sister as they're the same age and she intends to marry upwards xD As for Elise, I can definitely see her as a first year, looking up to the seventh year ladies and mimicking them, wanting to be just as elegant when she grows up.
