Kermit "Ottie" Escher
Working Class Child | Incoming First Year [Hogwarts, September 1895]

---

Quiet-natured, curious, Kermit could not be more excited-- or more nervous-- about starting school in the Fall. He's a boy with big dreams. Particularly considering he is the second child of a working-class widow, and is unlikely to be able to afford a second year. Dreams of an academic scholarship may well be out of reach with a hand-me-down wand fighting him every step of the way.

Nevertheless, he is thrilled to be going at all! And eager to make some friends while he's there.

---

• Kermit grew up in the Hogsmeade slums, and being that he is a friendly child by nature, I would love for him to have some friends! People he knew growing up who might be his age or a year older.
  
• Gullible and trusting, Kermit would make a fantastic target for manipulation by other, less good-hearted children! Twist him into being your friend! Use him! It'll be fun [for me, not for him].
  
• I will be letting fate decide his House so I don't know yet where he's going, but when I do, obviously, this slot will be for his housemates!

It ain't easy being green

So I'm here to help.

Margaret Wallace is my working class girl, shes a year above but has left school now. She lives in irvingly but spends most of her time in Hogsmeade now via work and friends there. She would possibly be a play buddy.

Once school starts I have

Alys Gower who is my little cosmic seer girl, shes wealthy middle class but would not mind which friends she keeps whether or not they end in the same house.

Jocasta Flint is slytherin and would not approve of Kermit's blood or social class and once she finds her feet she is going to be channelling draco malfoy a bit so would be fun as an antagonistic relationship, possibly with the manipulation side of things getting Kermit to do stuff for her.

Depending on which house he ends up in I have lots of options but particualry if there is hufflepuff gold added to his name, Antelope Grace and Dorothea Potts would both love to take the little vulnerable urchin under their wing.

I have Leni here! She's also grown up in Hogsmeade, but in Bartonburg. She's the friendly sort, and wouldn't mind that Kermit is working class. Her and her governess used to spend a lot of time at the park, perhaps they could have met there.

Hello, fellow firstie, my future-Slytherin Silas is another curious boy but far less quiet. If Kermit doesn't mind hearing about ships and boats and the Navy, then Silas can gladly fill any quiet space if they spend time together. He's not one to bully or manipulate, either, but could easily share in the idea of big dreams for a fellow kid who wants more to life than Hogwarts.

At Hogwarts is also Millie Potts and Ravenclaw prefect, if he winds up in her house. They might have a chance to meet otherwise, especially if he enjoys the library or she catches him breaking rules.

And my Charley Goode is a former slums dweller, often visitor, and is familiar with Kermit's older sister. She's all too happy to lead someone astray if Kermit needs misleading for summer or holiday breaks. How is he at climbing trees or buildings?

Is there anything in particular Margaret Wallace commonly does around Hogsmeade? Other than her job at the tea room?

I bet Kermit would get along with Alys Gower. I mean, he'd get along with anybody who doesn't get offended by him prattling about some niche nerdy thing... but I think her being slightly odd would also open up a world of curiosity from him? So she might get peppered with questions...

Jocasta Flint please yes be mean to him. Bully him. Ruin his day. Get him in trouble PLEASE. I would genuinely love to have her antagonize him persistently during the school year >.> if you'd be down.

I will be back if he lands gold

Selene Gallivan How would she respond to being dragged into a stray game with a stray child?

Oh yes please I bet Kermit and Silas Merlion would get along super well. Kermit wouldn't mind hearing about ships and such at ALL he'd find it fascinating. Silas might have to hear equally as much about clocks though... clockwork and other mechanics... or just whatever Kermit is reading about at any given time. He's voracious with his books.

Millie Potts He absolutely enjoys the library. I foresee him being a strong Ravenclaw candidate, and if things work out with Jocasta Flint he may well be getting uh... tricked? Probably? Into getting himself into trouble :3

Man I love Charley Goode so much. He's not the best at climbing trees. He's tiny, and was sickly, and is now reasonably frail, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't TRY and let's be real it'd probably be good for him to learn to be able to climb trees.

Depends! If she knows him already, likely on board! If not, slightly confused, but willing to play along because she's curious. xD

Leo Lupin is here to be a budding sociopath who loves to make/watch people suffer. <3

Billie Farrow is a 6th year, but frequent Slums visitor and quidditch player. She always likes to help a fellow working class child.
