Echo was the year below him at school, she's a friendly, down to earth girl, they might have been on good terms. I know Aden was more of a reclusive person, but she'd have been lovely to him if they ever did get opportunity to chat or anything.

Johnny was in Slytherin, and the year above Aden, so they'd have seen a lot of each other around the common room and things like that. Johnny is more the charismatic, popular guy, I don't know how well he and Aden would have gotten on, but he's lots of fun, and really nice for a snake, he'd have given Aden the time of day, they could have been comfortable having quiet chats in the common room at night or something along those lines. He's a magical vet now, so if Aden has any pets, you know who to bring them to. Haha

Two years above him at school, Liv is from an elitist family, but she's not your typical pureblood snob. She follows the rules her family sets (don't befriend mudbloods, etc), but she does it in a friendly way. He's pure though so there's no worries there. Lol She's a good girl and a lot of fun. She might have enthusiastically tried to drag Aden into any Slytherin common room parties, she's a firm believer that everyone should be having a good time. XD

The notorious Fin Avery. He is a Death Eater and a bad boy. He's also Liv's cousin, and the same age, so two years between him and Aden. He would have seen Aden around the castle being quiet and unsociable and just thought he was a bit of a wet noodle. He wouldn't have bothered with him at all, maybe gave a few dirty looks. He had a reputation at school for being unpredictable and a wild card, he'd get in fights and was basically just cruel to anyone he didn't like. He's the same now, so if he ever saw Aden in the street, or Aden ever came to his club (he owns The Starlight Speakeasy), he might make a comment about the weirdo from school. Probably no love lost here. XD

They wouldn't have known each other at school, but she's a Hit Witch, so they might cross paths at the Ministry. She's very friendly with everyone (it's all fake, she's really a bitch), but she'd have made him feel welcome when he first started, and she might be someone he's comfortable chatting to in line at the cafeteria.

Let's finish on a good one! Kit is my Auror, he's half vampire and only his work colleagues know that, it's a pretty big secret, so I don't know how Aden would feel about that if he found out. He's only training, so he probably isn't someone who needs to know what Kit is, but the information is there if he wants to stumble on it. Kit is very much a stickler for rules, he loves his job, and is great at it. He's only young, so his training years are still fresh, and he's happy to help out the newbies if they need it. He would think Aden is a good lad because he's quieter like Kit, and he'd make a huge effort to help him if Aden ever needed it.

She's friends with Isadora, too, so that could have been an opening for them to get friendly! She'd love having Izzy and Aden at any matches they could come to! <3

Yeah, Johnny's the Muggleborn Slytherin that breaks the mould so he only would have been supportive about Aden being a so called "blood traitor". Hanging with Johnny might have just solidified that a bit at school, but he'd have still made a great friend for Aden. =

Yeah, she'd have had to distance herself when all of his family drama happened, but maybe if they ever ran into each other these days, she'd stop for a chat and be alright with him.

We can definitely do that at some point!

Awesome!

He could turn to Kit for help if you want, with training, and with Heller at some point down the line when you're ready to explore that. He's a sensible guy, as long as he thought Aden was doing the right thing, he'd be on board.
