✩༝┊ it can be friendly or rivalry. if you have ideas for enemies even, i don’t mind hearing you out!

- genre: comedic or angsty, could go either way
- type: temporary plot for current Wizarding Convention event

Things weren't going great in Sirona's little corner of the convention. Perhaps it was her booth's topic or just the remote section of it all, but few stepped by and even fewer stopped to talk. The corner itself was practically dead. So no one would notice her sneaking away, surely. Just a step behind the nearest booth and Sirona was gone. In her place a small red fox dashed between the booths, happily searching for anything to do: People watch? Steal some food to eat? Chase a bird just to feel the air through her fur?

Yet you noticed. Because a fox among all these people seems odd. Why would a predator so fearful of sounds ever willingly wander into a place like this.

✩༝┊ you can choose between having your muse remain ignorant of emeraude’s private life (and being a spectator/outsider to their struggles), or having them learn about emeraude’s personal problems (this can affect how involved your muse will be in emeraude’s private life, which we will need to make a group pm for)

✧ 　 　forgotten  blood.

∴ open. (0/1)
∴ any gender, older than oscar.
∴ can be pureblood or half-blood.
∴ comes from or has lived in south korea or britain.
∴ distant cousin, rekindled family relationship.
∴ will have connections with either oscar's paternal or maternal side, doesn't need to share his surname.

✧ 　 　oscar has always avoided mentioning his family. he would answer people's queries with theatrics, saying that the the world is his family, anything to avoid answering the question. some even wonder if his name is his real one, since few even know about the hwang clan that oscar was born from. deeply desiring some sort of connection while keeping his biological ties distant, he tries to spark conversation but keep your friendship as cousins a secret.

✧ 　 　the  misplaced  love  story.

∴ open. (0/1)
∴ female, close to oscar's age (27)
∴ only met oscar in adulthood.
∴ inspired by love, rosie. sorry lmao. :)
∴ former flame and friend, possibly a past lover or his "what could have been" since there was obvious chemistry and mutual attraction but it was never fully addressed. there would be a possibly they slept together once or twice, but never pushed it further than that. very very low chance, but can become romantic (endgames to be discussed later if it's even possible).

✧ 　 　at some point it was a love story for her, one-sided. another time it was as love story to him but destiny had other plans. whether it was against time, or place, or their minds were just in the way, fate had made it clear multiple times that these two were not meant to be together. this was not a love story between the two of them and they believed it never will be.

　　ꗃ age range: around the age of jean preferably

jean's partner. the two solve cases together and work to fight against the dark underbelly of the magical world. you are one of the few people jean truly respects, and looks up to in his own way. the two of you may be merely co-workers on paper, but you are more best friends, despite any differences you may have. jean would trust you with his life, as you would with him.

you and jean follow a case into britain that involves a person from france, requiring the two of you to work alongside the british ministry of magic as you follow the criminal's scent. in an altercation, you end up getting injured, and jean is forced to work with other people while the two of you wait for you to heal.

✰⤸₊　┊　ᴇxᴛʀᴀ ɴᴏᴛᴇꜱ : this is in relation to jean and percy's thread regarding the case. if interested, dm for more info. you do not need to be injured for long and your thread with jean (if you want one) will be unrelated to the case with jean and percy.

[ ⧉ ] 　ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴅɪᴘʟᴏᴍᴀᴄʏ
　—　ᴄᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ: n/a.
annette takes her work very seriously, to the point she rarely gives herself some time to unwind and relax. one of her co-workers drags her out to a pub one night, and unfortunately for her, you and another person break out in a fight (whether verbal or physical). annette, having to deal with squabbling international politicians and the like, wants nothing to do with it. it's only when she snaps when she brings out her true diplomatic nature (perhaps more crass than necessary, she is british after all).

[ ⧉ ] 　ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴜxᴜʀɪᴏᴜꜱ ɢᴀᴛꜱʙʏ
　—　ᴄᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ: you are not from britain.
rubbing elbows with foreign powers is not unusual for annette, yet, meeting you is. the two of you meet at a party (whether high-end if you are someone of power and significance, or a small gathering if you are not, a welcoming party of sorts) and the two of you have to try to weave in and out of the false nature of politics and actually have some fun. whatever could that be? and can that really happen when annette (and maybe you) are such a stick in the mud?

　—　ᴄᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ: n/a. might be the most interesting if you are involved with quidditch (player, coach, manager, etc.)
annette does not like quidditch for very personal reasons, and avoids it like the plague. when her workplace grants her a free ticket to a very important match, she feels forced to go. yet, even being in the stands at the pitch causes her great distress, and she has to take a moment to take a breather. you see her, and go up to her.

[ ⧉ ] 　ᴡᴀɪᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴜʀɴ
　—　ᴄᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ: you work at a ministry, whether foreign or domestic.
a large council meeting is taking place and annette has been elected to speak at it. while the debate is mostly of boring old political stuff, it gets heated when annette is speaking and you keep interrupting her or one-upping her in how you speak. (could also work well w annette's 'rival' connection, but isn't required).

✧. ┊ relation : ex-flame
✧. ┊ preferred gender : no preference
✧. ┊ age range : late 20s to mid 30s
✧. ┊ origins : no preference
✧. ┊ student or working wizard : working wizard
✧. ┊ applicable warnings : this is *not* meant to be a positive connection. whatever past relationship they had will *not* be rekindled.
✧. ┊ **extra notes** : the only stipulation for this is your character *must* have attended hogwarts or any other magical institution around the same time howl did. there’s ample room for discussion on the specifics of what their past relationship looked like and how it looks now. post-break mutual pining and angst up the wazoo with this one.

Description: the notion of perfection was something that you didn’t believe in until you’d met howl. he was everything you could have asked for—kind, patient, gentle, and loving all in one. of course, though, what good things ever come to last? especially when it comes to someone like howl.
your friends advised you against getting too close to him back then and, like a fool, you never listened. it wasn’t until he’d gotten the order to kill you that things began to go south. you haven’t seen him in four years, and with your name having unfortunately been added to his hitlist, you aren’t quite sure whether seeing him again is really a good idea. a second heartbreak...doesn't sound that appealing. neither does the possibility of dying by the same hands that once held you so sweetly.

jean has a pet rabbit named jack, who is the size of a large cat and jet black. while animals such as these are not /uncommon/ for wizards to have, jack as jean's familiar isn't the most clean nor homebody of animals. on a particular day, jack escapes jean's apartment and finds his way over to yours, and you just so happen to have an animal that may not treat jack so nicely... to say the least.

[ ⧉ ] 　ᴘᴀᴘᴇʀ ᴀɪʀᴘʟᴀɴᴇꜱ
　—　ᴄᴏɴᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ: you work at the ministry of magic.
on his first day at the british ministry of magic, jean gets lost within the ministry and nearly gets his eye gouged out by a "stupid paper airplane" (the nicest french translation i can give you). he opens the paper and realizes the paper might not be the kind of thing that should've have been intercepted.
