Incoming First Year

Childhood Friends/Child Acquaintances: An introverted yet cheerful girl with a love of learning and the outdoors, Leni has spent her whole life in Hogsmeade, so it's likely that she's made friends with other Hogsmeade/Bartonburg residents! I'd love to establish who they are! She's spent a lot of time in Padmore Park growing up, which is where she's likely met other kids her age.

Other First Years: I'd love to thread with other incoming first years - chance meetings while shopping for robes, books, pets, etc as an example. I'm also open to other fun scenarios too!

Family: Scamanders and Gallivans, I'd love to thread with you all and establish familial dynamics. ^.^

Childhood friends: I dont have anyone here but she might know Margaret Wallace who spends a lot of time in Hogsmeade after moving to irvingly when she was 10/11 (she's 12 now)

First years: Wouldn't know them yet as they are both from different worlds but would love to thread with them. Alys Gower is probably the most natural fit

Others: I have a charms professor she will soon meet but also matron, my sorting prediction from her bio is Hufflepuff so if that comes true her and Dorothea Potts shall become acquainted

Yay Selene!!

Margaery Lockhart will be my incoming first year! Even though she lives in Irvingly, they might have that quidditch overlap?

Ramona Pendergast will be a second year and again quidditch connection lol, she's around Hogsmeade often.

I'm sure Eugene had been pretty involved, though after having Theseus may have just gotten busy. She's welcome to hang whenever!

Chloe Greene will be a second year and is friends with Bee's Ramona. I can easily have her be friends of frenemies with Selene.

Chiara di Visconti is my firstie this year and will be around Hogsmeade during August with her British relatives.

Annnd Toby Seacoal is childhood friends with Selene's brother Nathaniel and plays quidditch.

Silas is a fellow first year and will be in Slytherin when term begins! He'll be shopping at Diagon Alley this year, but he'd love to meet Selene when they get to Hogwarts. As long as she doesn't hate him so much for his class or lack of blood, I could see them enjoying quiet activities together, Silas is probably more of a ambivert than obligate extrovert.

As far as Hogsmeade goes, I have Charley Goode who is happy to antagonize little girls, or on occasion help them (in her way). She is friends with Margaret Wallace and might be known through that connection, or as a patron of Hogsmeade's flower shops (Charley now works at the Florist Potts, was working at Montague's House of Flowers until more recently). It's also possible she's known by name or face as an example pointed out by family of How Not To Act, which leaves plenty of story opportunities as you like.

Chris
I could see Leni and Margaret knowing of each other! Leni's spent a lot of time going to Padmore Park growing up with her governess, so that could have been a good meeting place. High Street too, as her mother owns Quality Quidditch Supplies.

Would love to thread her and Alys once they start school! I feel like Leni would be intrigued by her unique upbringing lol.

That's interesting you say that because I suspect she could be a Ravenclaw too. Either way, I look forward to threading with both your Charms professor and Dorothea (good position for her btw). ^.^

Bee
The Quidditch connection works! I feel like she's a good mix of them both, so I could see her being friendly with both Margaery and Ramona. We could start with Ramona/Leni, and thread Margaery/Leni at Hogwarts?

Would love a thread with Uncle Eugene when/if the opportunity arises. <3

Fallin
Hahah I could see them being friends or frenemies too. I don't know how well Leni would take to being bossed around/corrected. Explore this possible dynamic at school next month?

Chiara looks interesting! Leni would definitely be curious about her life growing up in Milan.

Yesss Toby likely knows her as Nat's nosy little sister because she used to follow him around a lot when she was little haha.

Jordan
Absolutely, I would love a Leni/Silas thread once Hogwarts starts! From his personality bio, I feel like they could get along well. I don't see her holding any kind of prejudice against class or blood status. If anything, she'd be curious that he grew up without knowing about magic because she couldn't imagine that lol.

Ohhh yes, if Charley's worked in Hogsmeade a lot, I could see Leni's governess maybe commenting in passing on her behavior which Leni could have picked up on. Would be an interesting interaction, for sure!

I'd love to have that conversation with Silas and Selene, they'd both be coming from angles that make no sense to the other.

As for Charley, do you want a thread that might reinforce or disprove her governess' commentary?

Absolutely! Could you start, please?

Barnabas walks with a cane. Set by Lady.

Barnabas Skeeter - They likely could have met then! Leni frequents the park a lot with her governess, so that seems like a neutral place for her to meet other kids. Would definitely be interested in exploring a possible friendship between these two because I feel like they'd get along. Leni also enjoys a good adventure story. ^.^

Sounds great! I'm up for a thread if you want one, or we can wait until term starts?
