Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Holly Scrimgeour - December 12, 2020

It's good for reference, I guess :P

Are your students going home for the holidays or staying at school? What are your characters getting each other for Christmas? Are they traveling or going to visit family? Attending certain events?

Totally not using this as escapism from the fact that Christmas is about to be boring af his year IRL.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Melody Crouch - December 12, 2020

Alice: Going home, sent all her friends various candies. Sisse and Ned got additional gifts, watch this space for what they are.
Beau: Hanging out with Eva and co most likely? Definitely invited Murph and Fergus to have dinner with them.
Dorian: Doesn't celebrate Christmas? Any Fisk things I'm missing?
Eloise: Pendergast plans??? She's going home after the new year so she would want extravagant plans.
Fallon: missing most of Christmas. Will be home late to surprise Malou.
Freya: ??? Selwyn parties?
Jo: Ditching her family as early as possible to go be with Zach
Mel: ???? Lynn do you have any thoughts on NCE's first christmas?
Penny: Working most likely. Definitely avoiding her mother.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Calla Potts - December 13, 2020

Annabeth: She'll likely spend Christmas in London with her parents for the last time when not finishing wedding prep things.
Cornelia: Pendergast/Lestrange things??? Maybe she'll try and host her first event.
Calla: She'll be going home for Christmas this year. All her friends will be receiving presents via owl closer to Christmas. What those are to come.
Demelza: Will be going home for family events.
Linnet: Will be going home for Christmas. Idk what the Unbernaulds are doing.
Tanwen: Selwyn family events. Return to being a glorified nanny as the hoard returns.

People I am bringing back!
Germander: Lestrange events? Probably not that much of a festive person himself but can be dragged along.
Iziza: Other than the day of Christmas itself, work as normal.
Octavia Rose: Family events and uc events! She is very festive and loves Christmas.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Sisse Thompsett - December 13, 2020

Caroline would like a small house party Christmas eve but Fallin wont have time to make it a thing so it will be small family affair
Daniel will be at the obligatory Selwyn party that I need to talk MJ and Lauren into hosting
Hermione will be hosting a Longbottom Prewett affair if her sister isnt already
Malou will be working
Percy will be spending a quiet one with Cat and her kids in the Adlard hogsmeade home
Sisse will be home, she gave everyone their gifts and homemade cards before they left
Sybille will very reluctantly be home.

Asha and Galina have no plans.

Edit: Asha will be with the revs at the Augurey.
Malou will be attending a Christmas eve midnight service in London, then working the early shift at St. Mungo's before a supper with her godmother's family and then back home for a quiet night in.
Galina still has no plans but is likely going to rather more reflective and thoughtful then typical. Holidays remind her of her past and if no one is around she plans to wallow just a tiny bit.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Elsie Kirke - December 13, 2020

Elsie - Beauregard family plans, probably at Adella's, skipping out late to Tyb's during the night no doubt.

Winnie - with the fam at Emelia's, oh wait just kidding she'll be summoned away to deliver a baby. Presents of interest were left for Anne and Ned.

Daffy - typical Potts family shenanigans.

Eugene - is never left to fend for himself or allowed to just have a quiet evening in with Theseus, so they're off to his mother's and probably also visiting the Frasers.

Eavan - surprise Beau! We're also going to Emelia's. Murphy and Fergus can come too.

Nell - is hosting as per usual and spoils everyone, always.

Nemo - does not celebrate, but will stop by Penny's with something for her.

Phineas - is hiding in his study.

Quin - off to muggleville to visit the fam. Everybody gets candy, obviously.

Tabitha - probably choose to work to avoid her stepsisters/stepmother. Will do something quiet with her father after.

Sloane - Bixby family gathering. Will also attend the Gillenwater-Bell party. Friends get treats and cards. Still thinking on Cameron xD

Jesse - will spend time with the fam, get presents for the nieces and nephews. Then go be lonely guy at his place because no Fallon. XD he does have her Christmas present picked out tho, just in case.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Holly Scrimgeour - December 13, 2020

Not all of my characters but if you're curious about the unlisted ones then just... @ me, I guess xD

Annie is staying at school because she's become way too invested in the Hogwarts Christmas decorations to not see what they look like on Christmas morning. She's gifting Greta a box of chocolates shaped like quidditch balls before she they separate for the holidays.

Cameron is moving to Irvingly with his family and will be having their little Christmas party. He's gifting Maddy a new pair of quidditch gloves with her initials embroidered on them (which he probs had his mother do). Greta is getting a diary because it's girly and Cameron does not know what she's really into. Ned is getting some generic magic book that Cam thinks he'd like. Calla is getting a flowerpot he probably tried to paint but ended up mixing the colors into an ugly swirl pattern because he doesn't art. Alycone gets a quidditch book. Sloane is getting a new charm for her charm bracelet. Sisse and Alice get generic holiday cards bc life is awkward.

Charity is getting Uncle Evander two books: one about magical law because that's her nine-year-old perception of what Ministry people do, and one old copy of Cinderella because she perceives that to be her future if he and Miss Delaney marry (minus the handsome prince and castle) and she wants to give him a hint (although she'll probably say it's old and it reminded her of him, idk). Uncle Alfred is getting a compass that she found in a trinket shop that doesn't actually work but Charity doesn't know that because she's a child.

Dionisia did the Hanukkah thing this year but is still ~culturally Christian~ and so she probably got Ari a practical gift like new shoes to wear on the job. Elliot gets a mandrake plushie that's charmed to screech when it gets lost so he can find it.

Edmund is going home for Christmas.

Flora is going home for Christmas. She's doing handmade gifts this year to show off her developing art skills. Mama gets a painted picture of herself and Merriweather, Papa gets a painting of the Black Lake from Hogwarts. She's giving super over-the-top scrapbook-style Christmas cards for Sirius and Rex, while Hesper is getting a wooden hair comb that she painted herself.

Freddie is spending Christmas Day with his mother but will probably go to whatever Christmas parties are being held in the days before.

Frida is going home for Christmas and will be attending her CMJ church services. Gretchen is getting something generically girly while Meta is getting a "magic they don't teach you at Hogwarts" type of book. Seneca gets a leather journal. Her uncle and aunt get something suitable.

Helga is spending the evening with her family but will 100% be attempting to catch the eyes of every and any eligible gentleman by looking as romantic as possible during the Christmas parties and balls. She'll be bickering with Eugene for taking Theseus to the Frasers because "they lost the right to see him when their daughter abandoned him" and "he's a Scamander, not a Fraser".

Holly is staying at Hogwarts as she does every year. Connie gets her presence and probably a quill or something practical, because Holly needs to show that she loves her without being sappy.

Hortense is doing whatever the Selwyns are doing.

Justice is staying at Hogwarts.

I assume there's some mild festive thing Aldous & Roman typically do and they'll join in? IDK, Ben's tradition is drinking a lot and singing off-key Christmas carols and throwing magic snowballs at people, so he might do that too regardless of location.

Emrys will spend the first half of that looking for someone to bang and the second half either MIA (if he was successful) or drunk, disgruntled and full of snide comments (if he wasn't). (Assuming this is like a society party and not just family - if it's just family we can skip straight to being drunk and disgruntled and sassy).

He'll treasure it xD Also Elias Grimstone if Evander invited Alfred for Christmas he'll come and try to be well-behaved.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Sophie Ruskin - December 13, 2020

This is Sophie's first Christmas in the Ruskin house - she'll be spending it thusly as would expect, though, quite pregnant (drama with the Ruskin kids? Maybe).

Angelique typically takes the holidays in Paris, though she does visit with her English cousins as well. This year will be no different, in truth.

Vanessa's Christmas plans are currently up in the air.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Samuel St.John-Black - December 13, 2020

Madeleine - will be doing obligatory debuntate xmas things, and then sneaking off to the Backus xmas whenever she can.

Adrestia - society things, and then trying to be solo for the day itself Peter Salvage might have other ideas.

Benevolence - probably a few parties but probably alone on the day which is sort of pathetic! XD

Cad - will be home and enjoying UCPB festivities

Elizabeth - Will be home with her massive family

Emma Binns - Home with the family!

Ginny - will be at every part going and then hosting the Blackwood hunt! She needs to 'blood' someone ie -someone who will be attending the hunt for the first time and is subject to the hunts greatest honour!

Lucretia - still in England, schmoosing - low key looking for a pureblood affair

Meserimus - Massive xmas party at his Clue Leverett would be invited to spend xmas if he wanted, other adult waifs and strays that he might have had contact with are likely to be invited. But otherwise just a big family shindig

Murdock - has plans *shifty werewolf eyes*

Nel - Lestrange family parties, and fussing over whichever of the girls that came home.

Samuel - has other plans *gulp*

Yuri - staying at school and eating like a king


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Aldous Crouch - December 13, 2020

STUDENTS
Rex will be spending his holidays with the Lovegoods, likely with some frolics with the extended Longbottom clan.

Crispin is very excited to go home for Christmas!

Elijah will be returning to the ~fancy Urquarts.

George has elected to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays. Hit me for adventures!

Holliday, as always, will be at the Sanditon.

Idunn wanted to stay at Hogwarts. Her parents had other plans Sad

Maddy is going home for the holidays and is excited to see her friends whilst there!


ADULTS
Will all be spending the holidays with their family, bar Cyrus and Elinor whose family situation is ~dramatic. Hamish will be remaining at Hogwarts as well.

Julius will probably spend most of his time mooning after Eloise.

Tatiana is gifting Charles Macmillan with a small watercolour portrait of her.



RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Billie Farrow - December 13, 2020

Archer:  I'm on the fence!  I know he'd probably like to go hide at home, but he also doesn't want to go to all the obligatory, big family gatherings with all the cousins.  I'm leaning toward having him stay at Hogwarts, think it's going to be quieter, and then go "welp, there's Annie."  hahaha  (Who will get some candy because he feels bad.)

Billie:  100% going home and spending as much time as she can with the people she's missed.  Especially Gideon and Quin.  Not that she'll admit it.  Ice Skating funtimes with Gus at the Hogsmeade Festival.  As for gifts, stay tuned!

Deanna:  She'll probably go bug visit her daughter and sit judging everyone at Selwyn family gatherings.  Although, she will highly compliment some of the young Selwyn's on their grasp of etiquette. 

Eli:  He's fairly practical, so he's going to take full advantage of the distracted holiday crowds in London.  Maybe he'll "find" odd Christmas gifts for the Foxes that way.  (Although, he'll probably draw something for Hestia and Jay.)

Leo:  He's not active right now, but please know that he is telling little kids that Santa isn't real and making fun of their "childishness" as if he's not the same age (or younger).

Murph: He's going to make sure Fergus enjoys himself. He's also going to tag along with Eavan and Beau because they're basically like his adopted children at this point.

Ned:  Ned is going home to see his family.  He's attending the Gillenwater-Bell Christmas party.  He's also going to invite Alice to come out and enjoy the festivities in Hogsmeade. (He'll also extend a blanket invite to catch up with everyone else there, too, but most of them live in the area.) Stay tuned for gifts. They'll probably be second hand or something he traded for something else, but thoughtful.

Thomas:  He is taking NO CHANCES of running into his mother over the holidays, so he has elected to remain at Hogwarts.  Also, he wishes to take the opportunity to practice in his animagus form and doesn't want to freak out his muggle grandmother in the process.

Zach: He's going to be focused on various events at the Hogsmeade Holiday Festival and using it as an excuse to "bump into" Jo. He'll spend Christmas day with the Binns family and then steal away home to see Jo. Stay tuned for gifts, but they'll most likely be books. (Surprise, surprise)

Obviously we need that thread Wink


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Elladora Black - December 13, 2020

Ailsa and Ewart will be hosting the sort of charming, heart-warming Hallmark Christmas that their children will resist enjoying now, but when they're embittered adults looking back from their cold, lonely homes they will realise that their parents, while heavy-handed, were well-meaning and loved them. Ailsa will expect her reward for her efforts in about twelve years.

Ambrosia legit hates Christmas but the family are invited between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day for appearance's sake. Expect dinner to be tense and Ambrosia to retire to her rooms early.

Trixie and her family will shut up the shop and probably be drunk by midday.

Connie will be at Hogwarts despite getting a letter from her brother inviting her home because she's more invested in Holly than her actual nieces and nephews at this point.

Elladora will be raising a glass in thanks that Ursula isn't pregnant this year.

Gretchen will either be at Fort Lestrange or another Lestrange-adjacent household.

Harriet is hosting this holiday spectacular so if Hermione could host the actual day itself then that would be grand :D

Konstantin doesn't celebrate but will be gifting Amelia Evans a first edition of a magizoology book along with an antique locket.

Marlena might well tag along with Eugene to the Frasers for a spell because Aegir is kind of a hot, Idunn is a weird intense kid that Lena enjoys talking to and no one asks her when she's going to get married. Otherwise she'll be with the Scamanders and drinking.

Morwenna is extending an invitation to Elinor Goyle despite the ~thing and there will definitely be an awkward moment when, on Christmas night, she has to somehow hide from Mason that she's about to wolf out. gd full moon.

Temperance is doing church stuff, probably being awful to Blythe and may have her heart warmed momentarily either by delivering a Christmas baby or accidentally kissing someone Connall under the mistletoe somehow.


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Bragi Holm - December 15, 2020

Bragi is visiting his family in Denmark for Christmas. Lots of hygge! Back in the UK, he'll go to a Christmas party or two.

Ama, being single and estranged, spends her Christmasses (very merrily) with her best friend Marcy+family.

Arven is participating fully in whatever Hanukkah and/or Christmas traditions the Fisk family and extended family have. He'll also probably attend some Christmas dances with Dove (AKA Robin Ashdown).

Clue stays at Hogwarts for Christmas, despite invitations from Meserimus Valenduris and (possibly) Narcissus Laurent. He's just not the type to socialise willingly, unfortunately!

Djura stoically hosts a large family gathering at Crossridge Manor in Canterbury, as per his duty.

Dunstan spends Christmas with his recently-expanded family.

Eloquence spends Christmas with her family, and is sure to attend a number of seasonal dances with her friends.

Shrike spends Christmas with his family on the Isle of Skye. They will probably be snowed in. :P


RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Cassius Lestrange - December 15, 2020

Cassius Lestrange: Ft. Lestrange celebrations, as per the usual
Arthur Pettigrew: Arthur will be celebrating with his wife and daughter and probably leaving right after his daughter goes to bed because he doesn't know how to deal with Sad Dez!
August E-A: E-A Christmas, send help
Camilla: Zabini family festivities, presumably!
Emilia: will be hosting Christmas and is hoping it goes well
Kieran: will be having Bummer Christmas at the Augurey with other Revs who don't go home and skirting out early to be a werewolf
Peregrine: presumably Umbernauld Christmas??
Sirius: is going home for Black family celebrations
Venusia: is going home for Crickerly family celebrations
Zelda: is Jewish



RE: Your Characters' Christmas Plans - Rudy Sweeney - December 16, 2020

Rudy is going home for Christmas where he will lovingly dote on his little sister. They are going to have a giant meal (pun intended) and create garlands and decorate the house. They have made sure not to have anything particularly interesting for the neighbourly Nifflers this year. Sarah is going to perform a Christmas Pageant in the living room.

Anthea is doing whatever Selwyns do and is basically ignoring that the holidays exists.

Dot - depends on if Honeydukes is open Christmas Day? If so, she's working. Her father is a cook and most likely also working so they'll probably have a quiet night after their respective jobs are over and give each other a small gift.

Greta is moving to Irvingly and having a PARTAY!! He's probabably going to get to a Quidditch book for Christmas; and Maddy is probably going to get a nice ribbon. Her mother is going to probably get a nice broach, and Oak is probably going to get a different Quidditch book.

Ariel is going to probably gift away arts and craft projects she made with her governess/nanny. They will drawings, or random handmade things that a 6 year could concoct and think of pretty last minute....

Edit: Whoops! Forgot it's Dots Birthday! She's going to spend the day treating herself with foods and sweets she usually doesn't get to eat.
