Merlin's Corner

Christopher Erebus Devereaux & @will

Kit is my Auror, he's 23, so a good bit younger than Will, but he's half vampire and kind of badass when it comes to doing his job. Maybe they could have worked together at some point, or are on friendly terms if they see each other around the Ministry. Kit is also in the Order, so if you ever want someone to convince Will to join, he'd be a good candidate. Lol

Tersha Alara Knight & @will

She's a writer for the Daily Prophet, she's no stranger to popping into the Ministry to do interviews with the staff there if anything big has happened in the wizarding world. If she ever sees Will around, she is going to flirt outrageously with him, because he's all kinds of hot, and she's all kinds of forward about it. LOL

Geralina Amara Drake & @will

Similarly, she thinks he's ridiculously gorgeous, but she's on the quiet side and finds that a tiny bit intimidating. She's friends with Dorcas, so she would likely stare if she saw him at the Ministry when she's visiting Dorcas, and then if he joins the Order, she'd stare some more since she's an Order member. Lmao XD

@will & @artemis

Lol, it's what she does. Hit wizards have a bed reserved for them at St. Mungos, and that's where she primarily works. She took the job because her brother's an auror and she wants to be first on call if he's ever in a scrape.

@will & @bellal

You dare insult my master! Your death will not be quick nor will it be painless. (She's not full on crazy yet, she's working up to it)

@will & @jaspers

There's a bit of controversy concerning Hit Wizards/Aurors and what they're roles would be in the muggle verse. But I think Hit Wizards are more like swat/military license to kill folks and Aurors are more like FBI follow the investigation collect clues sort. I could be way off base. Anyway I definitely picture Jasper having worked in various branches just to gain more experience. So decent history, friendly rivalry, Jasper knows that William's a good sort and trusts him. Maybe have saved each other's lives at some point.

Just sneaking in! What we've decided for TDT with regards to Hit Persons and Aurors.

As the Canon requirement for Hit Wizards is a DADA OWL and 4 other OWLs plus one year training and to be an Auror the requirement is 5 NEWTs in specific subjects and three years training, we're going with Hit Wizards are more like muggle police, capturing and apprehending your common criminals while Aurors track down and capture Dark Witches and Wizards.

The first year of Hit Wizard and Auror training is the same and then Auror's move on to more specialised in two more years of intense training. Just about anyone can become a Hit Wizard but only 1/10 applicants to the auror academy actually go on and become an Auror. The Hit Wizard department is quite a large one where as the Auror department is quite small but intense.

Rodolphus Adalrich Lestrange & @will // These two are on opposing sides; Will works for the Ministry and Rod works for Lord Voldemort, Will is a dirty halfblood and Rod's got some of the purist blood around. I'd say these two don't get on well, and probably haven't since school. Roddy would have been a few years behind Will, but they were on their respective house quidditch teams at the same time and Roddy would take immense pleasure in whomping Gryffindor's arse on the quidditch field. He definitely rubbed it in should they cross paths in the corridors later on. As adults, Roddy has had to deal with the Ministry from time to time regarding his business (Lestrange Industries) if there were ever trouble, and I see these two as being outwardly polite acquaintances but internally loathing the other greatly.

Dorian Michael Humbert & @will // My Auror; Dorian. They would have been the same year in school, probably started at the Ministry around the same time too. I'd say these two were friendly, if not friends, before Dorian shut out everyone on a social level after the deaths of his parents. Dorian is only now starting to move back into the world of keeping friendships so maybe a strained relationship between these two?

Lyra Ophelia Genevieve Burke & @will // How does William feel about the theatre? Lyra is a famous actress and singer, she performs in Whimsic Alley at the playhouse and at various nightclubs. She may have noticed Mr. Hottie in the audience a time or two? If so, she'd assume he was a crazed fan (aren't they all?) and because he's a half blood she would know that he is beneath her. Still fun to look at, though.

Euphadora Rose Parkinson & @will // Dora is much younger than Will but she'll flirt with him nevertheless. She tends bar at the Starlight Speakeasy, so if he ever goes there these two would likely have crossed paths. Dora is a broken soul that pretends otherwise, and being a Hit Wizard Will can probably see through her. So long as he gave her attention, she wouldn't care much. What would Mr. Montague think about a romantic fling with a younger woman?

Lucian Angelus Marcel Burke & @will // Lucian is my good little law breaker. He owns and operates an apothecary shop which is really just a front for an illegal elixir business, catering to the rich. He's good at covering his tracks, but with an influx of drugged up hippie-types (hey, it is the 70s!) I would suspect the fuzz would be keeping an eye on all apothecary stores. Luc is a really decent guy, you know, besides selling drugs and rooting for Voldemort, so there's potential for this relationship to go in any direction.

I also have my student Amelia Margaret Greengrass , a student of William's cousin Lenore, but I can't think of any relationship this pair may have, considering the age gap and differing backgrounds. If you think of something, let me know.
