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.

You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge, however you are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. Familiar routines are good, but sometimes you like to spice up your life with a bit of adventure or activity. You dislike confrontations and are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny your own needs in order to get along with others, however you are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.
