Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Friends: He likes friends, but he likes low maintenance ones who don't require a lot of effort on his end. He's nice(ish) and enjoys being the center of attention. He'd more likely to befriend ministry folks and other UC gentleman. Leo will be especially friendly to families in powerful positions.
Hurls: Leo's whole goal is to build a dynasty for his family. He wants a powerhouse for a wife who has the same ideals as him. Love doesn't matter. It's power and what she can bring to the table for him. He can be quite the rake, changing women like he changes socks, seducing them into bed just to cast them aside until the false pretenses of focusing on his career. Past hookups? Failed Courtships? Sign him up. Leo probably has a little black book of everyone he's slept. What he actually gets in a wife though, is probably not what he wants lol.
Disdain: Outside of Vincent Iago who's gunning to ruin his life, he probably doesn't get along with a few people. That's ok. He has no problems ruining people to get his way.
Others: Any other plotty things, feel free to throw them my way. Leo can be a handful, and if he thinks someone can help him reach his goals, yes please. Sign him up.
Murdock is his boss! so we should rap re: Their relationship.
as to the ladies - my main option is Ginevra Blackwood - we could come up with something fairly dramatic for them if they were going to work as a pairing.
For coworkers I have Walter Staghart an Auror. They likely had some interactions with work related things but probably not much on a friend basis, given he's Working Class.
Malcorvus Flint could potentially be a friend/coworker maybe even a rival depending on how they get along. Malcorvus is part of the Wizengamot so potential path crossing there. It's possible in his travels Malcorvus could have had dealings with Timoleon's family (something we could plot out)
Potential hurls...I only have Steliana Nicolescu who is about his age, widow and recently moved to the UK. She isn't going to be any easy conquest for him, I really ge the impression she'll likely chew him up and spit him out before he knew what hit him. That in itself could make for interesting threading/plotting.
Aldous Crouch Yes. Ready for some Fitz fun. I think he'd like Julius, too. Probably wouldn't go out of his way to hang out with him, but would converse with him if he saw him lol.
And debs<3 Yes. All of them please.

Murdock Greyback Well, I already pinged you, so there's that xD<3

Walter Staghart I'm sure they work closely together! He definitely doesn't want to be his friend, but doing something work related could be fun!
Malcorvus Flint I'd be down to explore a rivalry/friendship between the two of them. And yes! It would be fun to have them know each other from Leo's time in France; Malcorvus would have an upper hand in what Leo is really like which would probably drive him crazy. Definitely willing to explore that.
And Steliana Nicolescu. He's always down for a challenge. It might crash and burn but I'm ready to explore this.
Ministry options - Justin Ross, who worked in the DMLE before he was Minister and is now probably a stepping stone for dynasty-bu9ilding Ivy Sandow, a cantankerous little auror

Ross - absolutely. Prior Minister? He'd absolutely want to be his friend to use him lol. It's very important to him that people see his family as powerful.
Ivy - He would probably secretly hate her because of her class and attitude, but she's also cute, so he might also try to flirt with her outside of work to see what would happen. No shame there.
Seneca here is a good contender for a powerhouse of a wife - she's the daughter of the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and also a pureblood. As a person, she's intellectual, haughty, and very ambitious.

Seneca Lestrange
Yes. Leo approves. I approve. He likes that her last name is attached to a prestigious family. I can start something?
Victor is an UCPB of similar age and could be a low-maintenance friend, if Leo wouldn't notice Victor occasionally checking him out because damn.
No hurling candidates for him but @"Juliana binns" works in the Minister's office and could potentially butt heads with him if he's the usual misogynistic classist sort. Or if he's obviously unsympathetic towards werewolves or other "unfortunate" criminals.
If he ends up getting anywhere with Clementine I have Fortitude Greengrass available for brother-meets-suitor purposes!

Victor Daphnel Lol. I think Leo would be flattered to be checked out, in a weird sort of hell yeah, I could attract anyone if I wanted to kind of way. (He's so conceited lol). And he'd definitely want to use his ghostly abilities for who knows what.
OH. So @"Juliana Binns" could be fun. They absolutely would butt heads, and definitely unsympathetic toward well...everyone. BUT, I have plans to turn him into a werewolf (hopefully around Halloween? Unsure lol) and he'll have to eat his words. And it would be terribly ironic and fun if she found out.
Fortitude Greengrass Sounds like I should get off my butt and make a starter for Clementine because I'm here for this kind of drama.

I'm exceedingly here for this <3 We can thread him and Jules at some point this summer for work-related butting heads. She's very adept at recognizing symptoms so if they were in close proximity during/shortly after he was bitten she could likely work it out and feel conflicted about whether she should offer to help him or not. On the one hand he's an insufferable fool, on the other hand... probably shouldn't just leave him to his own devices :P

Yes! All of this sounds wonderful. He'll be a very grumpy werewolf, but it's his own doing lol.
