How To Behave
#1
THIS IS EUPHEMIA. She is here to shake up Etiquette classes.

They'll be split by sex, but not by age. Oh no. Instead, they will be split based on your prospects.  Euphemia is known for being an expert in her field, and she is quite sure she knows how much potential you actually have. Will you be a...

  • SWAN: The best of the best. You're either from Old, Elite Stock or Euphemia expects you to marry it.
  • PEACOCK: Newer money, a bit gaudier, but still Up There.
  • RAVEN: The more erudite of the middle classes--future healers and aurors and those (ladies) who might marry up, but not super far.
  • OWL: More utilitarian, but still firmly Middle Class. If you're WC, she expects you to rise above your station.
  • SPARROW: The classier of the WC. You might go into service, or even the Ministry.
  • CHICKEN: She's here to civilize you and that's about it.

The classes are actually called by these names, but she never formally announces who is what—your character will simply have to figure it out as time goes on.

BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE!

Oh, she doesn't decide based on your class or who your parents are—at least not entirely. In fact, there won't even be etiquette lessons before October. Why? Because she'll be spending September in one-on-one (well, mostly, her lover-cum-secretary will be there in the corner) meetings with every single student over tea in her office to decide where they Truly Belong.

I would love for each student to either thread this out or complete the following form to help me draft up the rosters! Otherwise, I'll just be going through personalities and divvying y'all up :P

Tell me about your favourite relation.
Maddy is my step-sister, my quidditch team-mate, and she was my friend before she was both of those things.

#3
Student: Billie Farrow
Year: 3rd
Blood & Class: Working Class, Technically Halfblood, but she's assumed to be a Muggleborn since nobody knows about her father.
Reputation Factors: She lived a good 3+ years of her life as a boy, some of which was on the streets. She's obviously someone's bastard. Her manners are shit. Her hair is boyishly short. She's into rough and tumble hobbies such as quidditch, magical creatures, and climbing trees. She is trying to better herself for Gideon's sake. She's probably a walking red flag, tbh.

#6
Student: Edison Moony
Year: 7th

To become an auror and take care of my family.

How do you approach failure?
Determine what went wrong and devise a plan to improve upon the failure in the future.

I am not entirely sure I could choose a favorite.

To marry well and make something of my life.

Student: Eli Fox

Where Would YOU Put Them: Chicken
Reputation Factors: He doesn't speak. He's a scruffy, little nobody, and he likes to keep it that way. He's involved in a crime family.

Student: Archer Belby
Year: 5th
Blood & Class: MCHB
Reputation Factors: His father is a werewolf. He's a disaster, but he tries very hard not to be. Crippling anxiety. He has odd interests. He has somewhat of a stutter. He does well academically, but practical applications are difficult for him due to hating being put on the spot. He doesn't always display his aptitude.

MJ is the best!
#10
Student: Rachel Morgan
Year: Seventh
Blood & Class: UCHB
Reputation Factors:
  • Her sister's husband got himself killed in a duel literally on their honeymoon
  • Her whole family, except her, was named by naming seers. She wasn't just because the lady her mom used died.
  • Her father and brother are relatively high in the ministry. One is a Wizengamot Interrogator and the other a department head. The other is a lawyer who works for August Echelon-Arnost - sooo a liberal practice.
  • Not so much at school but at home or on weekends dress a bit more... extra. She very much wears clothes that favor her curves though technically doesn't show anything.


#11
Student: Charity Lloyd
Year: 1
Blood & Class: MCHB
Reputation Factors: She's an orphan, her uncle is mid-level Ministry, she was under Louisa Clearwater's tutelage


#12
Student: Calla Potts
Year: Sixth
Blood & Class: MCHB
Reputation Factors:
  • She is from a family of Florists and while all of her sisters have also been debs, some have married late/or are still unmarried
  • Her extended family is a bit eccentric. Her uncle is a werewolf, her aunt is a lingerie designer, her cousin got married, had a kid then ghosted, and her parents fit right in the bunch
  • She's played quidditch since her first year and is team captain but has made it know she has no plans of going pro
  • She very liberal with her friends and her main friend group us the GG and includes probably more boys than appropriate
  • She has an internship at the zoo and has always been interested in herbology and potions and will either persue this or work in the family shop
  • She has started to dress a bit less boyish and nicer over the years?

look at the pretties mj made me!!!
#13
Student: Katherine "Kitty" Arundell
Year: Incoming First Year
Blood & Class: Muggle Born, Upper Class - Nobility
Where Would YOU Put Them: A very atypical Swan (simply because I don't know where else she would fit given her class)
Reputation Factors: Kitty's got a bit of a penchant for accidently finding herself in trouble/ having accidents. Until Hogwarts these have mainly been signs of her magic showing that no one knew was going on since she muggle. That said she does know how to behave and what to do and does try to behave and be a polite well bred young lady.
How Would They Perform @ Tea: Very well, she knows how to be polite and does try - even if it does bore her and she'd rather be outside.
What is your greatest ambition?
To meet the fae folk - shy of that coming to Hogwarts will suffice. She hasn't really begun to think of the future yet. And would likely give the response her mother has drilled into her - to be a lady - if asked.

How do you approach failure?
To use the anology of falling, getting back up, dusting herself off, and moving forward.

Tell me about your favourite relation.
My cousin, Thomas. He's only a few years older and doesn't laugh or tease me.

I would love a thread, but just in case baby makes this impossible, I've filled out both forms.

Student: Sisse Thompsett
Year: Sixth
Blood & Class: Halfblood & Middle
Reputation Factors: While Sisse is friends with the #GryffinGroup, she is not a fan of quidditch and is friendly with just about everyone at Hogwarts. She is known for being super sweet and kind and is not a trouble maker. In fact she tries to keep trouble from happening. Of all the GryffinGroup Sisse is the most Lady like and proper of all of them. She is also a prefect and very studious. She also pursues lady like activities such as art and music. She is a member of dueling club but also a member of the potions club and the president of the charms club.

Student: Sisse Thompsett
Year: Sixth
Blood & Class: Halfblood, Middle Class
Where Would YOU Put Them: Swan, or Raven, but likely to marry up in some capacity

How Would They Perform @ Tea: Very well, very proper, polite conversation that doesn't stall
What is your greatest ambition?
I should very much like to get married one day and have my own family (mentally she is adding she would like to design the most fashionable gowns as well)

How do you approach failure?
Try again, study more, and try again until I get it correct (see her history with potions)

Tell me about your favourite relation.
My younger brother Henry. We have been close for all our lives. I have always looked after him.

Thank you Bee <3 Your magic has made Sisse bloom

Student: Henry Thompsett
Year: 5th
Blood & Class: Halfblood Middleclass
Reputation Factors:
Henry tries to be a good person, follows rules, studies hard, is well mannered at school, can be manipulative at times but not for melicious reasons. He's member of the Dueling Club and Leisure Sports club. He would join more clubs if he had the time, but between Quidditch and all the classes he signed up for in his OWL years, he keeps pretty busy.

Student: Odessa Pettigrew
Year: First Year
Blood & Class: Upper Class Pureblood
Where Would YOU Put Them: Swan, or Peacock because Thom tries to be an ~eccentric?
Reputation Factors: Odessa herself is very well behaved, however her father's marriage is iffy because he and his wife have been living apart for years now.
How Would They Perform @ Tea: Very well
What is your greatest ambition?
"I hope to be worthy of the Pettigrew name and make my family proud."

How do you approach failure?
"My governess has taught me to try and see why I failed, so that I can learn from my mistakes."

Tell me about your favourite relation.
"I am not sure I can pick just one. I love my Papa, since he is the one who gave me the gift of life along with Mama. Then, I adore my two grandmothers, who both love me dearly. I am also protective of my brother, Alexander, since he has always been more sickly than me."
