				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/ZfwF16C.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Pansy Parkinson<br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Questioning <br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Pureblood<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Receptionist, Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Centaur Liaison Office <br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> oh don't even ask.... (Single)<br><strong>Children:</strong> grrr (0)<br><br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> <br>- Being bitter about not being an evil trophy wife<br>- Thinking of ways to get back at Draco Malfoy<br>- Thinking of ways to get back with Draco Malfoy <br>- Trying to get her parole auror to back off<br>- Plotting evil plots against pretty much everyone <br>- Destroying all evidence of such plots in a fit of guilt and fear that Hermione Granger will apparate out of nowhere and arrest her again. <br>- Gardening <br>- Raising Exotic Butterflies<br><br><strong>Pre War Bio:</strong> Slightly altered from canon. Before she started attending Hogwarts, Pansy Parkinson was a nervous, half-closeted transgirl who was highly encouraged in her identity by Narcissa Malfoy when she noticed young Draco spending a lot of time with her. She never fully transitioned but every year an expensive enchantment gifted to her by the Malfoys shaped her more and more into the ideal partner for the high class aspirant that they were grooming Draco to be. Starting her third year she brewed her own potions that transformed her one remaining body area female for several days at a time. Very few at Hogwarts knew she was trans, and those who did gave it very little mind. Otherwise Pansy was every bit the little kiss ass who spent most of her time coddling and crushing on Draco and insulting anyone she thought he didn't like that she is in the novels. <br><br><strong>Post War Bio:</strong> Pansy has had better days than what happened after the war. During the Battle of Hogwarts she snuck back in and helped many of the Death Eaters who fought for Voldemort arrive by disabling some of the shields around Hogwarts that allowed them to apprate in. Hermione caught her red handed, and a poorly timed comment about how Fred, Lavender, and the others who died would still be around if they had just turned over Harry like Pansy had suggested resulted in a broken nose and being dragged off in magical restraints. <br><br>Pansy's trial was a lot more dramatic than many people were expecting. Unlike many of the other Slytherins she was thoroughly unrepentant and uncooperative and refused to turn over any information. Through long veritaserum sessions it slowly came out that while Draco had been the figurehead for Voldemort at Hogwarts, she had been the one who did almost all of the real work. She kept the dark wizards in training organized, provided access to all parts of Hogwarts to some of Voldemort's darkest servants, and even had several Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students under Imperius curses working for her. <br><br>She was sentenced to Azkaban and felt glorious as it happened, imagining herself following in the footsteps of her idol Bellatrix Lestrange. She wasn't surprised that Draco avoided sentence, clever guy that he was, and was sure he was going to break her out any day. Instead, when he came to visit her it seemed like he was actually sincerely remorseful and not only that informed her that they couldn't be together anymore due to his revelations about his sexuality. To say Pansy became emotional on being dumped would be a serious understatement. She screamed, she sobbed, she begged she tried to seduce, to blackmail, and everything in between but Draco was firm that their relationship was over.<br><br>Pansy's anger over this turned into resentment which she took out on the world at large. Despite her age she was considered one of Azkaban's more dangerous prisoners due to her ability to organize and manipulate and she spent a lot of her time with instructors finishing her schooling (hey, Azkaban is a nicer prison under Auror management!). She is, to a mix of chagrin and pride, the top rated student of the first ever graduating class of the Azkaban Reformatory Academy. <br><br>But that was only part of what got her out. Halfway through the first year of her stay in the prison, she was approached by Rita Skeeter, who managed to sneak in in her beetle form, and thoroughly interviewed about a new article she was writing. Pansy played along just like she always did with her favorite gossip columnist. A few months later <em>Voldemort's Forgotten Victim</em> was published and picked up for nationwide distribution in many different journals.<br><br>The article portrayed Pansy as an innocent dupe, a victim of prejudice due to her transgender status (descriptions of how she was denied the potion she used to have a fully female form provoked more sympathy than anything else, while also informing the whole world that she was trans) and the backlash against pureblood families that Rita not so subtly suggested was worse than what the mixed bloods had ever experienced. She glossed over the hundreds of hours of evidence of Pansy's truly impressive evil machinations in favor of photos of young Pansy dressed in overalls down on her knees trying to work on her garden as a large Auror stood over her menacingly, testaments of how Pansy looked out her barred window every night dreaming that the man who had lured her into the dark world of Voldemort would come to save her. Draco got raked over the coals pretty hard for his "betrayal" of his former lover. Pansy became the poster child for unjust punishment seeking revenge rather than justice. Meanwhile the article gave Draco a lot of bad boy buzz that really helped launch his modeling career.<br><br>When she was up for parole, political pressure, popular sentiment led to her early release, under very strict parole. She moved back into her ancestral home with her parents, and proudly bore their signet ring again. She engaged in a brief affair with Oliver Wood, who had read the articles and found himself feeling sorry for her and greatly aroused, but as he slowly realized she was still rather stuck up and pining for Draco and he proved several times to be extremely rough in his tastes the relationship fell apart. Also it didn't seem to make Draco jealous at all (well, not of Oliver anyway), which had been the whole point from Pansy's end.<br><br>As part of her parole she must attend a weekly former Death Eater support group. Seeing Draco every week there is something that makes her rather uncomfortable as she still dreams of him turning to her, announcing what a fool he's been, and presenting a ring to her. She has gotten pretty good at not letting on and they are mostly friendly nowadays. <br><br>After a few years of this routine her parents passed away in a tragic dragon attack and she inherited their rather considerable estate. She was forced to auction off many of their old prize heirlooms as they contained too much dark magic for her to be around due to her parole, which infuriated her but ultimately made her richer. This included their ancestral estate which had so many old dark charms in it that the Aurors condemned it. Pansy brought a very nice little house in a magical ward of London with a large garden area and quiet and polite neighbors.&nbsp; She spends most of her free time there tending to her truly beautiful and impressive collection of rare flowers and exotic butterflies. Her enchantments leave it practically running itself. Unfortunately her security clearance with the Ministry is far too low to let her near anything poisonous or potentially lethal so she can't get a job with magical plants. While it is a very nice house, she finds it lonely and empty most of the time. <br><br>While she has the funds to live modestly for the rest of her life, Pansy has never been one to live modestly. She has just enough money to barely need a job to keep herself in a lavish lifestyle and so she went looking for well paying work that would accept a resume that had Azkaban listed under education. Pulling some strings was able to use her family connections to get a job with the Ministry. Even though it is the very definition of dead end. She is the receptionist for a division that never gets any visitors, as the Centaurs still refuse to acknowledge that a Liasion for their people exists. She spends most of her day sitting behind her desk reading about her more successful classmates in gossip magazines and hearing about other people getting promoted and brought up while she wastes away in a dead end job. Although the fact that she has a job with the ministry at all is enough to infuriate some of the more conservative good guys, she isn't likely to describe her job as a lucky one anytime soon. Still, it pays rather well and on top of her inheritance she is quite well off financially for a single lady. <br><br>Pansy is up for yearly parole review at which she can request to be let off, which has been denied every time. Many Aurors don't think she should ever have been let out at all and would sooner vote to throw her back in Azkaban than end her parole. She is viewed as not truly repentant (which is true) and still a threat (which probably isn't). The fact that she has been caught growing technically illegal plants and keeping illegal butterflies several times hasn't won her any favors either, although the "oh come on those laws are outdated, they're harmless" counter argument is not without merit.<br><br>About a year ago she was assigned a new Auror to be her parole officer. Pansy was stunned when she found out that the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, the famous Harry Potter was going to be knocking on her door doing surprise inspections any time he liked. At first she thought she was going to get tossed back in prison, but she soon realized that Harry was nowhere near as enthusiastic about his work as she was worried about. He wrote her up for her infractions but didn't go beyond that. At times the two almost became friendly with each other and talked about their lives and what they were going through, although it was very guarded. Pansy expressed great sympathy for Harry's failing marriage, and quickly learned that when she wore tight and small outfits around the Auror that he tended to more easily forget that he hadn't checked a certain room and when she put a hand on his leg to comfort him he would sometimes forget to mention the illegal plants he had found on that trip. She could never get away with anything serious, and most of the time the stuff he forgot to do was completely irrelevant as there was nothing illegal there anyway, but Pansy started to get a sick thrill out of teasing the poor Auror on his way down. She also realized he was one of the few constant social interactions with her life, and would be embarrassed to admit that she found herself looking forward to getting dolled up for his visits. <br><br>At least the very expensive beauty enchantments have all proved themselves worth the money. Pansy remains younger and sexier in appearance than many of her classmates. So at least she's got that going for her. If anyone would just glance her way to notice how pretty she is....<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Halfway between bitter and self-righteous, reformed and rebellious, worker drone and queen bee. Very sensitive about her social status. Sorry for what an evil bitch she's been but more sorry she wasn't more successful at it. Still completely obsessed with Draco. Would probably be very happy if she could find someone to be subservient to the way she used to be with him. Sincere efforts to be nice are often thwarted by the simmering rage and frustration over all her bad decisions. She is obsessive over her appearance, viewing it as one of the few assets she has left.<br><br><strong>Goals and the Future</strong>: Deep inside, Pansy does feel terrible for the things she has done and the things she thinks about doing. She is a nurturer at heart, and loves being responsible for making other's lives better, even though she brought into Voldemort's ideas of what better constituted whole heartedly. That part of her is often nowhere near as prominent as the part of her that is just angry about how her life has played out so differently than she wanted. She wants to see her old foes hurt because it's the only way she knows to dull the pain she feels, and the sometimes obtuse attitude she got from the Aurors (at least before Harry took over) only fed into her resentment and anger. She often doesn't know how to react in those rare instances when people show her genuine kindness, it is the one thing that makes her psychological armor of disdain crack and let out the Pansy who's ability to commit, love, and nurture could be a truly positive thing for everyone, especially someone she settles down with.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/65/HarryCS.jpg)</div><br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Somewhere between bisexual, gay and clueless.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Half-Blood. <br><br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Junior Auror <br><br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Divorced (Ginny)<br><br><strong>Children:</strong> James Sirius (5), Albus Severus (3)<br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Conspiracy charts, AKA the only ‘décor’ around his shabby freshly-divorcee-pad. Dozens upon hundreds of newspaper cut-outs, pictures, memos, notes and diagrams linked with differently color-coded strings (the only use any real man should have for yarn) and the random crack, bump or puncture where Harry threw something at the wall. <br>Dogs, more importantly- rescue dogs. Harry volunteers in a dog rescuing shelter, where they rescue dogs from the streets, abusive homes and just plain difficult situations, and bring them in, provide veterinarian care, food, grooming and sometimes even training, in hopes of finding loving homes for them. There's something about the look of a suffering dog that Harry just can't bear- residue from his brief relationship with his late godfather, perhaps? Sometimes he takes them home over the weekends, especially the ones that can't stay in the shelter alone. <br><br><strong>Post War Bio:</strong> Everything started out so nicely, smoothly, even. Every last door was open for Potter, from the mail room to the minister’s office, favours were offered, interviews mentioned, positions secured, especially during the trials of the death eaters, everybody wanted to be the Chosen One’s friend. Harry probably married too early, but he couldn't really keep his best friend’s baby sister hanging, could he? And after all that pain, violence and loss, they were all desperate for something sweet and pure- a new family born of young love. <br><br>She deserved so much better than him.<br><br>Once the trials were over, once the dust settled and people went back to their routines, Harry quickly discovered that The Chosen One isn't very meaningful without a Dark Lord to run an awe inspiring campaign against. It's not every day that you find a dark wizard to capture and detain, especially when the greatest of them all has just been recently dealt with. Most of the active mal-practitioners lived abroad, and as much as he tried- Potter simply wasn't one for mastering foreign language, especially not at the level required for undercover work (not that he could, with that GD scar shining bright at the top of his face). He could feel their eyes upon him, looking up to him, as if asking- “What, is that it?” like a bunch of muggle kids at a birthday party, waiting for the magician to show his next trick, but Harry had no more tricks up his sleeves. <br><br>It didn’t take long for them to realize that the boy wonder has grown up into a big sack of nothingness. The promising junior Auror stayed just that, minus the promising, doing two-bit field work every now and then, but mostly pushing paper, checking facts, amending reports.&nbsp; <br><br>He should have known better than to take his frustration out on her. At the time he had no idea he had been taking anything out on anyone. He simply did his job, collected his paychecks, came home, ate his dinner and shut himself away at his study- which basically was a miniature model of his current conspiracy maniac flat, reading the newspapers, watching some muggle TV news, looking for signs, scanning for shadowy connections, searching for a purpose. <br><br>So yeah, sure his purpose should have been his family, thanks for that inspiring pearl of hindsight bullshit, where were you three years ago? Think it’s easy, seeing a failure coming your way? Harry didn’t see it, and that- according to his ex-wife- was a fundamental part of the problem. <br><br>He lost her, he lost his kids and his best friend stopped taking his hesitant calls.<br><br>All of that really was a slap in the face for Harry, it was a beyond a wake-up-call, it was practically a scream. Realizing he simply couldn't keep going as he did and that he needed help, he decided to get it and seek counsel in the form of a psychologist. He is now a beaten man seeking redemption- how's that for a pick up line? Any takers?<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Maturity peeled away the layers of the once shy yet passionate teenager to discover the brooding and intensely silent type Harry never realized he was, being used always having a pair of extremely talkative friends around him, the boy who lived never did learn how to actually start a conversation. Inner dialogues are his thing, conflicting voices and thoughts that sometime drown out the external ones in his immediate surrounding, it’s not rare to see him lost in thought, or witness him change moods suddenly and with no apparent reason. He’s still kind, caring, generous and noble of heart, but in the real world- there’s not much chance for those traits to shine on their own. <br><br><strong>Goals:</strong> Quite frankly, Harry just wants to reach a point where he can look in the mirror and not feel like a complete letdown. He misses his sons fiercely, but he knows that he is in no shape to be a positive influence on their lives. Just recently having started psychological therapy, Harry had decided he's going to actively try and improve himself- at work and in his personal life. What is he doing to change his situation? Well, for start, he is taking the more far-fetched conspiracy tables down, anything that seems like something a crazy person would conclude gets binned. That was greatly due to an eye-opening conversation he had with Hermione, where she notified him of how unmerited and illogical his thought process had been on some of them. <br><br>By Dumbledore's hat, he might just have to go wallpaper shopping! *shudders*

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y365/Petra_Carpenter/Emma_Watson_zpsq92ntyke.png) (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/Petra_Carpenter/media/Emma_Watson_zpsq92ntyke.png.html)</div><br>&nbsp; <strong>Name:</strong> Hermione Granger.<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Age:</strong> 27<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Sexuality:</strong> Heterosexual.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; <strong>Blood status:</strong> Muggle born.<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Occupation:</strong> Ministry of Magic: Department of Magical Law Enforcement. <br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single.<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Children:</strong> None.<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; <strong>Hobbies:</strong> Reading, writing and spending time with her friends.<br><br>&nbsp; <strong>Post War Bio:</strong>After the final battle she returned to Hogwarts to complete her education having missed her seventh year because of the war and having gone&nbsp; hunting for&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Horcruxes with Harry and Ron. All through her school years she had thought her future might be with Ron but a heated kiss during the final battle and a brief affair after the war threw cold water on those thoughts. Though she loved him she soon realized it was the same love she felt for Harry...the two of them were like her brothers and relationships as close as theirs should never be ruined by sex! <br><br>Having gained her N.E.W.T.s she interviewed for and won a position within the Ministry in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Now ten years on from the final battle she has risen through the ranks to Magical Law Enforcement. This was the career she had wanted and had worked hard to&nbsp; obtain though her private life had proved less successful. Hermione had wanted it all, a career, a husband and children but at 27 she only had her career and the memory of her beloved childhood cat Crookshanks. Not that she hadn't dated or had flings and affairs, she had but she had wisely kept those from becoming public knowledge despite Rita Skeeters best efforts to expose them! Just as when she was at school she has a few very close friends whom she spent time with and who knew of her loves and losses and just as it had been since they were 11 she had shared more with Harry than Ron..perhaps partly because she had never been foolish enough to have a fling with the boy who lived.<br><br>Being someone who wishes to forgive but never forget she has fought hard to help change the laws from within the Ministry. This has meant she has had involvement with several pure bloods whom at one time may have despised her simply because she was a Mudblood.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Has been called bossy as well as brilliant since she was a child and that hasn't changed. She is still a loyal friend though now one or two of those friends now include former students of Slytherin. Less uptight than she was at 17 she enjoys having her nose in a glass of wine just as much as a book these days. Losing so many people reminded her that life can be all too short and sometimes it's fine to let your hair down, drink, dance, laugh and have fun. However she still fears failure which is why she works so hard, in her mind it compensates for her personal life which she finds much harder to control...much like flying on a broom which she still avoids at all costs! She is strong but sometimes her more vulnerable side will appear, when it does she relies on those close to her to help her through with a shoulder to cry on and some words of wisdom that perhaps match her own. Oh and not forgetting the chocolate!<br><br><strong>Goals:</strong> Given so many barriers have come down during the ten years since the war ended Hermione hopes to continue to build bridges between the pure bloods, half bloods and the muggle born witches and wizards. She would also like to find someone with whom a relationship forms beyond a fling or an affair, someone who wants to be married to her as much as she does them and whom she can have children with. However most people only know her desire for the first, she doesn't bore others with the aching within her for a husband and children. Only those closest to her know of those more personal goals though everyone she meets soon realizes how passionate she is about her career and her goals for that!<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>EDIT</strong></span> Updated to include the new goals section now included on the CS.<br>

				<strong>Luna Lovegood</strong><br><br>(http://i.imgur.com/hBqIvak.jpg)<br>Age: 27<br>Sexuality: Bisexual, but prefers the ladies more<br>Blood status: Pureblood<br>Occupation:&nbsp; Journalist/Magical Biologist<br>Marital Status: Single<br>Children: None<br>Hobbies: Going on expeditions to discover new magical creatures, writing, researching<br>Post War Bio: Right after the war Luna went on an expedition to Iceland on another attempt to find the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, as well as a testament to her father who died in the second war. Much to her shock and to the shock of everyone who teased her and bullied her at Hogwarts, not only did she manage to find and photograph one, she also brought it back to London, where she made the front page, she is now a common feature on the wizarding paper for Magical Biology, but the Quibbler is now a respected source of information, surging in popularity over the Daily Prophet due to people remembering how they spewed pro Voldemort and ministry propaganda in lieu of actual news. She also is a loved and looked forward to, substitute for Hogwarts Care of Magical Creatures class. Many years ago before she had a short fling with Nevile Longbottom while it ended somewhat heatedly they remain good friends. To say that the young woman with a sad past was successful and busy would be an understatement. <br>Personality: Luna is still as odd and quirky as always but now that more and more of the odd creatures she always talked about are being proven real, she had started to become less introverted and gained more friends but she hasn't really changed all that much

She thinks she might be bisexual but isn’t completely sure.<br><br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Pureblood<br><br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Currently works as a waitress at a muggle restaurant in Oxfordshire as well as training as a chef at a school of Culinary Arts in the city of Oxford itself. <br><br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single. Has been engaged but broke it off (if anyone wants to be her ex-fiance let me know).<br><br><strong>Children:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Alysia loves cooking, reading, going for walks in the countryside and studying Wand Lore and potioneering.<br><br><strong>Post War Bio:</strong> Alysia was fifteen years old when Voldemort was defeated. Against her parents’ wishes, she quit school as soon as she finished her OWLs, despite receiving quite healthy results (2 Acceptables, 2 Exceeds Expectations and 1 Outstanding). They very reluctantly paid for her to travel throughout Europe, where she became absolutely fascinated with the cuisine of every place she visited.<br>When she returned to the family home in Wantage, Oxfordshire, almost a year later, she expressed a dream to open a gourmet restaurant in Diagon Alley. Her parents were horrified and considered this an unworthy career choice for their daughter. Determined, she took a job at a muggle fast food outlet, saving her earnings to pay for training as a chef. She later quit this job after a very nasty argument with her boss and took up a waitressing job at a restaurant closer to home, where she has worked ever since.<br>She has had very few relationships, although she was engaged to be married at one point. However, the engagement was called off and the relationship ended before wedding plans were in full swing.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Alysia can appear a little spoilt sometimes but has a good heart and is loyal and compassionate to the people she cares about. She does have a bit of a temper though, and her success at controlling it varies.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Goals:</strong> To open her dream restaurant.
