• Plot Selection •
• Breakdown •

• Danny Lewis • 23 • Neutral ~ Order •
• Make it stretch | Word for Word, see who's your friend | And you will carry on | But no, you won't be mine •
• There's an eight year difference between Danny and Benjy, which would definitely have been a bad thing if things between them had gone any further than a drunken fumble in a bar that he can't remember and that she tries to forget. Since then - since meeting him formally through her friends, and actually managing to look embarrassed for once - the two of them have shared an easy banter centering around ripping the piss out of each other. And occasionally defending one another. •

• Zoe Little • 28 • Muggle ~ Order •
• Take your head around the world | And you will carry on •
• Apparently, this little muggle is a stealer of hearts. Well, shrivelled up chest-masses that only beat for tiny redheads. Whatever. •

---

• Allison Tanner • 29 • Order •
• Take yourself out to the curb | Who is kind, it's almost like a disease | Take your straight line for a curve | Make it stretch •
• Probably the only person in existence that really knew Benjy inside and out, and who puts up with his caddish ways, Allison wass - without any doubt at one time in his life - the love of Benjy's life. He's not averse to flirting with another woman, with making their blokes jealous or with getting ..close. Allison was what Benjy thought of as the love of his life. But things often turn sour. •

• Alice Longbottom • 22 • Order •
• Word for Word, see who's your friend • Who is kind, it's almost like a disease •
• Alice isn't really someone Benjy would go to if he just wanted to chill out with his mates, which isn't to say that she's not an exceptional woman. She's strong, steadfast, intelligent, businesslike.. She's a good Auror and an excellent member of the Order, and she always got his back when he needs her. After the trouble lately with.. well, everything.. Benjy and Alice have been getting closer. He's overprotective of the girl, even against her new husband, and Benjy doesn't really care who he riles up, just as long as Alice Longbottom is kept safe. Maybe there's a whisper of infidelity on the sidelines, from those watching who don't have the perspective, but let them whisper. There's nothing going on.
Everyone needs a mate like Alice. •

• Bellatrix Black • 21 • Death Eater •
• Why you're guilty for the way • You're feeling now, it's almost like being free • And you will carry on •
• Maybe if there hadn't been ten years and a foul taste between them, Benjy and Bella could have bee friends. You know, except for the "she tortured one friend and almost killed another" thing. Oh, and the whole part where she's the devil incarnate. Benjy, in short, would happily rip Bella's head from her shoulders if he ever got the chance. It's a shame he's not more skilled with a wand, really, because that would probably come in handy. •

Full name: Allison Tanner
Nicknames: Allie, lisa
Age: twenty-nine
Alliance: Order
House: Hufflepuff alumnus
History: "I've known Beny since Hogwarts, though I'm two years younger than him so when he was in his seventh, I was in my fifth. We were pretty good mates - best mates at the time you could say - I dunno how we got to be that close...but I think it was that time that Slughorn caught me in me skivvy's! We lost contact for a while after Hogwarts, and then out of the blue one day when I was sitting in a club having a drink with a few mates, he tries to chat me up! I blanked him, but the second I realized who it was? It was all 'BENJYYYY OH MY GOD' all over again. Call me weak, if you want, but I've always had a soft spot for the prick! I guess it didn't take long for things to escalate from there - we were best friends again and then we found ourselves as more than just friends, but I sure as hell wasn't complaining, and I'm still not. So we aren't married - I know he has his reasons, i wouldn't expect him to propose, not with all the shit that's going on in the world right now. If something happens to either of us then I know that we don't want to make it any harder - it'll be hard enough as it is, because...hell, I don't know what I would do. We're still together, though - I love the guy as much as he irritates me and as much as he tries to outdo me in every way possible, I love him, and whether that's gonna be my downfall or not I don't care. Nobody can take what I'm not willing to give - and that means they can't take him, 'cause I'll be going wherever he's going, no matter what, and I'll kill the bastards while I'm doing it."

Full name: Alice Diana Longbottom
Nicknames: Alice, Ally, Al, Longbottom (the latter not by preference)
Age: Twenty-two
Alliance: Order forever
House: Hufflepuff alumni
History: "There's quite an age difference between Benj and I -- I never knew him at Hogwarts. Despite that, we've both found ourselves in the Order, proving that, if nothing else, we share at least one thing in common: our hatred for Voldemort, and our passion to fight him at any chance. As you might expect, we talk whenever we see each other at the Headquarters, though it's nothing special; he's just a friend to catch up with and share a brief joke with. Merlin knows we need the humour in this dark time. If there's one thing he doesn't lack, it's the ability to make me smile. Benjy? Yeah, he's alright, he really is."

Full name: Bellatrix Isode Black
Nicknames: none for you
Age: 21
Alliance: Death Eater
House: Slythering Alumni
History: He's scruffy and foul, and a drunk from what I've gathered. He comes on to me in public like I've know him or more importnatly, care to know him. I've kneed him where he wouldn't care to feel it numerous times, and yet he still comes back. Stupid little bird.
Plot Ideas: Distaste; Flirt.

Age: twenty
Alliance: deathy death death
House: previous slytherin
History:

"Ah. That Benjy Fenwick. It's such a waste of talent, don't you say? He's certainly got the potential to be a rather fearsome and striking man, but it seems as if he's made the choice to fight with Dumbledore and his gang of merry men. I do hope he'll tell me how that works out for him."

Plot Ideas: glare. kick. snarl.

"Harrison? Hufflepuff, younger'n me (Not hard these days, I feel like a bloody relic around all these kids). I remember him as a good kid, fun to have around. We didn't so much hang about in school, and only just got us reacquainted when he saw Thea in Hogsmeade. They looked rather cosy, I must say; I felt bad for stealing her away. But Harrison's a good bloke I'm sure. I'll make sure to look into it before I let Thea get closer though.."
