Maeve isn't really the type to take someone under her wing, unless she sees a way of making that person a useful ally in the future. At the very least, mentoring someone has to somehow improve her image. With ANNABELLE BECKETT, this wouldn't work because of the radically overt hatred of muggleborns and half-bloods she's showing. Maeve would not associate herself with someone like that. The days of blood purism are over, and people who still share those views are generally hiding them pretty well. She wouldn't want to be friends with a girl who won't even speak to a half-blood, especially when half-bloods are mostly acceptable even to extreme blood purists. So the way I see it, Maeve would just be avoiding Annabelle's company, not befriending her. She's been working on her 'good Slytherin' image for a long time, and a friendship like that could ruin it.

I feel Alderic could use someone who gets in trouble and push him towards the wrong side. Maybe he and Olivia could get in some troubles together and have a frienemy relationship. Where maybe Alderic is scared to tell anyone about Olivia and maybe Olivia picks on that and scares him even more and they keep doing things that they did earlier?
OLIVIA MULCIBER | ALDERIC DIOR This certainly sounds like something Olivia would do! She's not exactly a bully, but she's very strong-willed - so shy kids in her age group could find her intimidating. Testing people is also something she likes to do, which means she might just drag Alderic into danger to see how he responds. She recently spent a lot of time in the hospital, though (from November to around the end of January), so the two of them wouldn't have interacted during that time. Now she has a lot of catching up to do for practical classes. How is Alderic with Flying? We could have a thread where they are practicing some simple broom manoeuvres and Olivia is daring him to try something reckless.

Yeah I feel since Alderic is a shy boy he might feel intimidated with her. As for his ability in flying isn't that great. But yeah I can see her daring him to do something reckless and maybe he ends up finishing the dare and somehow gets more scared or something. We can try and figure out how things work out between them and see what they are once we thread these two.

You really have some really different characters! My ideas will be...
OLIVIA MULCIBER, seeing everything she is and what she has defined in her family, she will undoubtedly have serious problems with CHARLES BRENNAN, because he does not like purists and will not hesitate to call her out for it. If you are looking for Olivia to have problems, HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER is the ideal person, being prefect, could be involved in some problems and she could be punished.
Now we go with... DOMHNALL MCEVOY, I think there is a person quite suitable to have those crazy adventures, and it would be with GUðUNDUR ÞÓrðARSON, while it could establish a kind of friendship/enmity with HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER, because sometimes it is difficult to establish friendship when one of them is a troublemaker and another that are constantly enforcing the rules. It would be interesting to investigate this kind of plot, right?
I assume that MAEVE THORNE will hide her intentions and what she intends to do in her future, and seeing that she’s just a good student for everyone, so she could pretend to have a fake friendship with HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER, and if you want, at some point she’ll be discovered, can we create a huge drama between them? It would be great to have some drama with some of my characters.
Now with adults! PRESTON BURKE, I think he could get along quite well with Jaime, and since they’re both good professor and emotionally mature, I could suggest a close friendship for them?
I have some doubts about Dean, because seeing that his intention is to be a player in Quidditch, he might have met Pierson who was a player in his time, or with Alexander, that he could become some kind of coach in his free time to help him get the shape he needs to be a player?

CHARLES BRENNAN | OLIVIA MULCIBER Oh, these two can absolutely be at odds all the time! Also, Charles is a half-giant, which I think is pretty difficult to hide - so Olivia would at least suspect that he's not entirely human because of his height. She wouldn't even try to be civil towards him, I think. Although she usually does try with regular half-bloods, a half-breed is a whole different thing. Also, she is pretty vocal in classes, so if you want to interact with her there - feel free. Usually, whenever she speaks, it's either a complaint about the lesson itself or an attack on non-purebloods. However, she will eventually grow out of it during the next few years, as she encounters more resistance from her classmates and realises they are "too brainwashed" to accept her opinions.
GUðUNDUR ÞÓrðARSON | DOMHNALL MCEVOY Sounds great! Don does need more friends. I play him as a happy-go-lucky teen with plenty of charisma, but every time I get a friend for him the writer disappears, haha.
HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER | DOMHNALL MCEVOY I'm not sure enmity is the right word for it, because while Don does break school rules, he won't resent a Prefect for punishing him - unless Heirans is especially full of himself and sometimes assumes that Don is doing something wrong even when he isn't. A strained sort of friendship is certainly possible, though.
HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER | MAEVE THORNE I guess I need to update my plotter with more recent information, because that Dark Arts group she was planning has already been started and is about to become an actual club, haha. Sadly, Maeve's involvement won't be discovered. She will graduate in a few months, still seen by everyone as a model student and a "neutral" well-behaved pureblood. Her evil side isn't going to become known for many years, since she plans to be extremely cautious with her actions. We can still play them as "friends", tough. I suppose Maeve would have already realised that Heirans isn't into purism, so she would have lost all interest in him because it makes him a blood traitor. She wouldn't be actively trying to spend time with him because her time is precious and her schedule is always full, but she would be perfectly nice and helpful when they run into each other or interact in class.
PRESTON BURKE | JAIME ÁSGEIRSSON They can be friends, yes! Preston also has an interest in Astronomy, at least as far as it pertains to Astrology, since that is part of the Divination field. I could see them discussing Astronomy/Astrology and sharing their knowledge with each other.
As for DEAN FINNIGAN, he is already a reserve player for one of Ireland's best Quidditch teams, and will become a full-time Chaser for them as soon as the current term at Rutherford ends. Whoever is the coach for the Ballycastle Bats is also his coach, and I imagine he goes to training sessions multiple times a week. But he might still be interested in talking to Pierson if they meet, because anyone who has played Quidditch professionally would be interesting to him!
I'm not able to have quite so many new threads, though - currently got about 30 active ones going & 10 or so more planned - so could we start with just one at first? I'm actually quite curious about the dynamic between Don and Heirans, so we could begin with them - unless some other interaction is particularly appealing to you?

CHARLES BRENNAN // OLIVIA MULCIBER If, in fact, he has never needed to hide and his current height is that of an adult, that by the time he reaches adulthood, he will reach about three meters. Not only is he proud of it, he sometimes even mentions it (especially when introducing new people) and likes to point out some positive features that it has to be half-giant. If at any point Olivia were to attack him or even judge him, it would be interesting because that’s where Charles would pull dirt on her family to hurt her.
DOMHNALL MCEVOY // GUðUNDUR ÞÓrðARSON I hate to know that the writer disappears after a while! But I’m hopeful that I can change that and that Don has a friendship with someone sociable like my character (I can't even write his name without copying haha).
DOMHNALL MCEVOY // HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER In fact I was thinking of a friendship in which they challenge and test trust, how to separate the typical lines that define friendship. The fact that Don likes mischief and Heirans being prefect, makes me wonder how they will deal with a dynamic that contradict each other and being opposed, but which can prove that it is possible that two types of people like them can be friends.
HEIRANS BAUGMARTNER // MAEVE THORNE I already assumed Maeve wouldn’t reveal her plans or her future in a short time. As for the discovery, I meant that Heirans discovers that Maeve hasn’t really wanted to be his friend and that could have hurt him. Like that fake friendship that reaches a point where Heirans could be 'ghosted', if it makes sense.
JAIME ÁSGEIRSSON // PRESTON BURKE I just have a couple of words to say about this: Let’s make it happen! Absolutely awesome!!
Understandably, I also have many threads! You just pointed out the one that catches me the most, which is Don and Heirans, because I would love to have a plot where two people can challenge and make things change, especially that it makes the term of friendship more fluid than it seems.

Hey May, I was looking over your list of characters and noticed OLIVIA MULCIBER who's a first year Slytherin. Would you be interested in establishing some backstory? Perhaps their families know one another and they have had some interaction pre-Hogwarts (social events, playdates, etc)? Happy to discuss more if you're interested!
