Serving time for the murder of the McKinnon family, including Order of the Phoenix member Marlene McKinnon, Orpheus is the first Death Eater prosecuted and imprisoned in this leg of the war. To his credit, Orpheus did not give up the names of any Death Eaters was thus tried and sentenced quickly. He leaves behind wife Juliana Wilkes and sister Klio (Ravenclaw '80). There is no scheduled release date for Orpheus at this time. He will not be granted visitation rights until September 1980.
Klio's world is falling out from underneath her. With her brother behind bars, her BFF sitting on top fo the class, Klio feels alone in the big castle of Hogwarts. As she falls deeper and deeper into the shadows, she's going to need strong shoulders to lean on.
Luci has always been a free spirit, not caring what anyone else said about her or if she got herself into trouble. Tides are changing however, and a stable income is getting harder and harder to find. With the scary possibility of an extra mouth to feed, responsibility is coming to bite Luci in the ass if she's not prepared. She's going to need every ounce of conviction she can muster to clean up her act if she expects to find someone to support her.
Everywhere she turns, Cice's classmates are getting married and starting families. She spent most of her young adult life wrapped up in her family's business and never had time for frivolous things like dating and boys. She was always the bridesmaid, the best girl friend, that girl you could take home when you needed mum and dad to be proud. But now that she's seen how it can all end, Cice wants her own Prince Charming, her own happily ever after.
George cannot get it through her head that even after 6 years of trying to get on the Quidditch team, Slytherin will not let her play, simply because she's a girl. She can't see the similarities between her own oppression and that suffered by her Muggle related classmates but then again, George has always been very stubborn. She desperately wants to play professional Quidditch and she's determined to play overseas if the League won't have her.
Bobby has always been the jokester, the class clown, the one who can make even the Slytherins laugh although they'd never admit it, but she's not laughing now. After what the Ministry has been pulling, neither Bobby's squib father or her Muggle mother wanted her to return to Hogwarts. She was determined to return for her final year but it might require her going behind her parents' backs and plotting with Dumbledore, the repercussions of which might be more than she is willing to face.
De has always marched to the beat of her own drum, touting her peace signs, tie-dye and organic chocolate frogs. Her final year at Hogwarts shouldn't prove to be any different now that she's got a new cause to rally against as the Ministry rears its ugly head once again. She is already planning marches and painting her protest signs. Let's just hope she doesn't get arrested again because this time, her father isn't going to be able to bail her out.
So, new layout for Miss Brie, so excited! I finally have surrendered to S2 so please let me know how it looks. It took me forever to figure out how to change the sizes of the sidebar (like WTF, it was in 4 places!!!) but it looks alright in Firefox which is the browser I use. Lemme know if it looks excessively stupid in IE or whatever your fancy is. I also updated my personal journal so all is going well on this front I suppose.
I'm thinking about working on a Travers family page as well as some more profile additions for CiCe. But I'm supposed to be doing homework tonight so I'm not sure how much time I will actually devote to the site. Probably more than I ought however.
Speaking of work, the next two weeks or so are going to be brutal for me but after that I start my summer job where I shall sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day and get paid. So I shall be paid to post at Valesco and my life will utterly be fantastic once again. Until then, I'm around. Travers wedding posts should probably occur this weekend?? Just let me know Cor (email or comment b/c AIM has been being an ass) if you just want to post an invitation and leave it at that or if we wanna try for a more full RP. Much love.
EDIT: obviously, I spent too much time doing this. Travers family page is up, as well as most of the supplementary pages have been edited.
