PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT MAGICAL MISFITS IS AU;
DO NOT EXPECT ANY OF JK'S CANONS TO BE THE SAME HERE AS IN THE BOOKS. [/size][/center][/font] - FEMALE RAVENCLAWS - [/size][/center] PLAY BY: Brittany Snow
BIRTH-DATE: June 1st, 1959.
CONNECTIONS: Andy Snuck; best friend and love interest. Elladore Guffy; friends. Krystal Hargreaves, Alice Adams, Nymphadora Tonks; mutual dislike.
YEAR: Seventh.
PERSONALITY: Stuck up, intelligent, hard working, spoilt, misjudged.
BRIEF BIO:Diane was born into a wealthy family, and was always given everything she wanted. She’s very much a ‘daddy’s girl’ and he would call her ‘Daddy’s little angel’. Of course she wasn’t nearly as angelic as her father liked to believe, but she played up to it all the same. She was very pampered, and many of her friends were quite jealous of her. Wherever she went, when people heard of her family's wealth, they expected her to be spoilt and bratty, so as not to let them down, that's exactly how she acted. Many seemed to miss her caring side, because they were always expecting the worst. She was always kind to her friends, and would help them out whenever they needed it. While she's a great friend to have, she's also makes an awful enemy.
When Diane came to Hogwarts, she found it was a different kettle of fish to what she had at home. She was so used to having everything handed to her on a plate, but here it wasn't so simple. Here she had to work for what she wanted, and surprised both herself and her family back home when she worked her way to high grades. It's not like her parents thought she was dumb because the opposite was quite clear, it was her working so hard which impressed them. She came to enjoy achievements being expected of her, instead of the negative traits she was so used to. Somewhat like a chameleon, Diane shifts her personality to suit those around her; to those she dislike, she can be bitchy and stuck up, but to those who are her friends, or are kind to her, she is caring and thoughtful.
It was in her first year she became friends with Andy Snuck, and before she even realised it, she’d found she had fallen hard for the boy. She thought he was the most amazing person she’d ever met, and would hang off his every word. She always thought she was in with a chance, especially since he took creative writing with her when she knew he hated it, but in their sixth year something changed. Much to her dismay, Andy had started paying more and more attention to one Krystal Hargreaves, a fact she was less than pleased about. She soon found herself hating her, which had nothing to do with the fact that she was immensely jealous of the girl. She had been used to always getting what she wanted, but yet Andy was the one thing she wanted yet he didn’t seem to want her. She just didn’t understand how Andy could like Krystal, sure she was pretty and quite smart; but no smarter than she was, and worst of all Krystal didn’t even seem to like Andy. She didn’t understand how wonderful he was, why should he like her? Without meaning to, she found herself insulting and being rude to Krystal at any given opportunity and when her friends Alice, Lillian and Tonks would step in to defend their friend, it made her dislike them just as much, forcing her to be just as rude to them too. The problem was, they knew exactly how to annoy her, so every time she was rude to them they would retort back with telling her she should be finding ‘Andy the expert’ or ‘her precious Andy’.
She’s now in her seventh year and too afraid to let Andy know how she feels since afraid of rejection. She’d rather have him as a friend, than lose him altogether.

BIRTH-DATE: July 17th, 1962.
CONNECTIONS: George Waddill; brother. Stephanie Meylan; best friend. John Bynes, Edward Bynes; friends. Allison Harte, Ruth Nelson; friends. Sirius Black; Older brother figure. Madeline Tonks, Herbivio Buckwheat; trying to set up.
YEAR: Fourth.
PERSONALITY: Loud, confident, silly, careless, giving, caring.
BRIEF BIO:The Waddill family are one of the most generous and giving wizarding families out there. They’re very caring, and sharing. Though they have a lot of money, much of it is used to hold fundraisers for charity. Kacey was raised to be just as kind and sharing as the rest of the Waddills’, and she would rather give than receive. When she was four, her mother gave birth to her brother George, and she couldn't be more happy. For her tenth birthday, she gave half her birthday money away to those who needed it more - Her brother George then copied and did the same for his sixth birthday. The family were very close, and would do lots of activities, or go on lots of outings together. Her brother and father were interested in the muggle sport football and would often go to the matches, meaning she got to spent some 'girly' time with her mother, which she adored. She loved to look out for George and play silly role-playing games with him, like knights and dragons, so was quite sad to leave him when it was time to go to Hogwarts.
It was on the Hogwarts Express that she met Stephanie Meylan and the two bonded instantly - both finding they had younger siblings the same age - and though they got sorted into different houses [Steph into Hufflepuff, Kacey into Ravenclaw], they still remain best friends to this very day. Steph introduced Kacey to the Bynes twins, and the four became friends and would often mess around together; though Steph being the more sensible, would always be the one to point out when they'd go too far. Missing home and her girly time with her mum, Kacey suggested that she and Steph had girly time every other week where they would do make overs, creative arts or dance around pretending to be popstars. In their second year, they invited first years Ruth Nelson and Allison Harte to these girly nights, who jumped at the offer.
Kacey is now in her fourth year, and her younger brother George has just started Hogwarts. Steph is doing all she can to look out for George, often embarrassing him in the process, and is delighted to find he is good friends with Steph's sister Rosie. Steph and Kacey can almost always be found together. Where Steph is quite quiet, Kacey is more loud; and while Steph is the sensible one, Kacey loves to be silly. The pair has recently started trying to set students up, starting foremost with their siblings Rosie and George; and though they are too young to be thinking about love, Steph and Kacey are sure as they grow they will fall in love. Steph and Kasey are beginning to take their match making a little too far, calling themselves Cupid's disciples, they will set up anyone they see talking - once accidentally trying to set up a brother and sister! Their latest Cupid's arrow is aimed at Madeline Tonks and Herbivio Buckwheat. Kacey loves to tease and wind people up, including Sirius Black; who responded in the same manner. She almost sees the boy as an older brother figure, and can often be found 'wooing' whenever he's with his girlfriend Alice Adams.

- MALE RAVENCLAWS - [/size][/center] PLAY BY: Zac Efron.
BIRTHDATE: 1st June, 1959.
CONNECTIONS: Diane Wright; best friend. Krystal Hargreaves; Love interest. Alice Adams, Nymphadora Tonks; dislikes.
YEAR: Seventh Year.
PERSONALITY: Intelligent, hard-working, controversial, pompous, funny.
BRIEF BIO:Andy’s parents, Daniel and Joyce Snuck, were both muggle nurses. He’d always looked up to them, especially his father; even though many people laughed saying that a nurse was a girly job, Andy always thought it the best job in the world. Andy loved to read, although unlike most boys his age, he always enjoyed the information books, finding the fiction books far too ‘fanciful’. His imagination had never been very active as he always preferred to base things on cold hard facts. In primary school he struggled to play certain games with children as so many of them relied on make believe. When faced with the instructions, he was brilliant at construction and fixing up new toys and the other children were always in awe of his masterpiece; yet he could never build something spontaneous like the many castles and garages his friends called their piles of blocks. As he grew older, he started to read his parents medical books and surprisingly understood a lot of it especially those to do with muscles and bones. When he was delivered his Hogwarts acceptance letter, he was sure it hard to be some kind of joke. Wizards weren’t real; they were the stuff of stories! Yet he was soon presented with the facts, making it hard to ignore.
At Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw house, and after hearing what the sorting hat had said about Ravneclaws being clever, he couldn’t say he was surprised. It was in Ravenclaw he met one of his closest friends, Diane. He was pleased to find that a lot of the Hogwarts classes required following certain rules and guidelines meaning he was always a high achiever, and soon found potions to be one of his favourite classes, although honestly thought Professor Slughorn to be a bit of a joke, and despite being offered, refused to be a part of the slug club. In fact, it was after one of Slughorn’s lessons that he spoke to Krystal Hargreaves for the first time. She had been dragged along by Alice and Tonks [two girls he thought quite ridiculous] who were trying to steal a glance of Slughorn, attempting to get his shirt off, while Krystal stood around waiting looking slightly bored. He recognised her as a fellow Ravenclaw, so he struck up a conversation whilst her friends fumbled about making a fool of themselves. Since that day, he would use any excuse possible to talk to her, much to the dismay of Diane, often asking about her studies and then boasting about how he found them easy. He could no longer deny it, he had developed feelings for Krystal which unfortunately were not reciprocated as, for one, he didn’t like her friends and besides that, she found him completely pompous.
Though highly intelligent, Andy would never offer his help unless asked and even then he would give the least information possible in his answer, seemingly bored at the questions fired at him. The only anomaly to this was, of course, Krystal whom he would always be offering his help to claiming he knew the answer to any problem she seemed to pose. To those who like him, Andy is, quite frankly, hilarious, but to those who dislike him or are annoyed by him in anyway, such as Krystal and her three close-knit friends, he is not funny in the slightest.
Andy is unaware that Diane likes him, and has always seen her as just a good friend. He knew that she admired him somewhat and that she would often gloat about how he was good about things but he didn’t take this as a sign of interest because, as far as he was concerned, she was just telling the truth. Although he enjoys being bigged up in this way, he sometimes gets angry with Diane and shouts at her thinking this is the sole reason he sometimes get dubbed as ‘Andy the expert’ by Krystal and Tonks, though truthfully is only a contributing factor; the other being his constant bragging about being right.
Diane has managed to convince Andy into taking Create Writing as an extra-curricular subject and he doesn’t know why, since he hates it. He’s just put it down as a favour to a friend, although he’s pretty certain he wouldn’t do it for any of his other friends.

BRIEF BIO: Dirk Cresswell was born into the muggle world to Julie and Darren Cresswell. Growing up he would often show interest in sciences, such as chemistry. However, unlike the childhood of his parents, there often seemed to be signs that helped him along the way. Things that no muggle could ever explain to another muggle. But they dismissed every strange occurrence and named it coincidence because they were such adoring parents, not to mention the fact that Dirk was one of those kids who seemed to get along with just about everyone. He was incredibly intelligent and was determined to excel at anything he set his mind to. Growing up in a patient household made Dirk incredibly patient and he was never the type to let anyone walk all over him. The only thing kids would complain about is that sometimes he would be more of a know-it-all and would correct anyone who said anything wrong. He wasn't afraid to correct even adults he encountered. It's not to the point that he has lost friends over it, but there are some things that he can't stand people being wrong about.
Then another strange occurrence came along the way of the Cresswell household. Dirk received a letter to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. More than a little excited, Dirk and his parents traveled to Diagon Alley. His first trip to Diagon Alley was a memorable one, more specifically his visit to Gringotts Bank. Languages had always been something he was interested in, and here were these funny little goblins speaking a language he never knew existed! Gobbledegook - a term muggles would use to describe a fake language - yet here it was being used, as real as the sun or sky. He was so intrigued by the language, and vowed on that day to learn it After all of his things were purchased, Dirk soon was making his way to this school he had never even heard of. Though he was sad to leave his parents, he promised that he would make them incredibly proud of this new world they only were just starting to experience.
At his arrival at Hogwarts he was stunned at the beauty of this school. Everything seemed so unreal in his mind, but he didn't want any of it to change. During the sorting ceremony, Dirk was sorted into Ravenclaw. As his first few years past, he made good friends with none other than Arthur Weasley. The two became quick best friends and there were times that Dirk would tutor Arthur in classes that he wasn't so good at. Dirk's favorite class, above all, was Potions. He was incredibly good at it and often had Professor Slughorn boasting of his talents and genius. He has been a part of Slughorn's Slug Club for two years and enjoys being boasted about to other students and teachers.
Now that he is in his sixth year, he strives every day to become better at potions. However, there's one thing that can distract him, the magical language of Gobbledegook. In any spare time he has, he's off in a corner learning this language that has kept him intrigued for so long. He rarely has time for girls, but when he is interested in someone he can be slightly clingy unless he is studying Gobbledegook or Potions.

BRIEF BIO: Michael was the second boy born into the Bond family. The family consists of his muggle mother, his wizard father and his older brother, Andrew. For the first few years of his life, the family would constantly be travelling; meaning the boys would lose friends as quickly as they made them. While both boys found it easy making friends, Michael [or Mickey, to his friends] found it far trickier than Andrew saying goodbye. Both brothers got on well, and Andrew was constantly looking out for Michael and in turn, Michael looked up to Andrew.
Soon, Mickey's mother grew tired of the family's travelling way and eventually their father got himself a stable job at the Ministry, meaning the Bond's could stay put in one location. They moved into a nice place by the coast and countryside, meaning they had lots of trips to the beach; so much so that Michael was somewhat jaded by this. Michael, like his brother, was home-schooled by his mother, learning languages such as French and German, along with the usual muggle subjects such as Math's and English. On top of that, Michael was given various other lessons, such as Piano or Cooking, and more than once would he turn down his brother's adventure invites of explorations and self-discovery due to these very lessons. While Andrew seemed the more daring type, Mickey would much prefer to read a book, apparently lacking the imagination his brother had.
While the scenic home and loving family seemed the perfect lifestyle, sadly it was not to last. Max Bond, the boys father, tragically lost his life while on, what should have been, a simple mission for the Ministry. To this date, the Bonds still do not know just who was responsible for the murder of their father on that ill-fated mission, that went so horribly wrong. After his father's death, the Bond family grew ever the more closer and Andrew fell into the leading male role of the family. Though Andrew had to mature much quicker than expected, this meant that Michael did not, allowing the boy to keep his youth and childhood. Of course, Michael didn't always see it this way and it was when he was ten that his brother was leaving for Hogwarts; upset by this and still hurting from his father’s untimely death, he took it out on Andrew, arguing that he’s not a baby and that his brother should stop trying to ‘control him’. The boys barely spoke for that year, though more than once Mickey wrote out a letter apologising before throwing it in the bin.
The following year, it was Mickey's turn to start Hogwarts and he wasted no time in sorting things out with his brother. Mickey was placed in Ravenclaw [unlike Andrew who was Gryffindor], and soon made a name for himself, like his family expected, for being a high-achiever. He still loved to read, and spent a lot of his time studying in the library. At the of age eleven, Mickey found it just as easy as he had when he was young to make new friends and befriended many, including Herbivio buckwheat, Tucker Jones and Krystal Hargreaves, through whom he met Alice Adams. Despite being liked by many, he also found himself bullied by the Slytherins due to his intelligence and love of study, and his brother Andrew would often get into duels, sticking up for him. He introduced Andrew to Krystal, and witnessed the two share a kiss in his fifth year and while nothing more has happened about it, he continues to bother his brother about his feelings for the Ravenclaw female.
Now in his sixth year, Mickey has a small crush on Alice but would never act upon it since she is currently dating Sirius Black. He finds himself quite jealous of the boy, and is sure Sirius has cottoned onto his crush since he never seems too friendly towards him.
He spends a lot of his time with his brother, and would do anything for him; family being high on his list of what’s important. Unlike his Andrew, who will eat anything, he is more sensible with his eating and drinking habits. Though he still likes to have fun, he finds he doesn’t need drink to do it. While Mickey is quite sensitive and caring, he also has a sarcastic and witty side, and can often be found goofing around with one of his closest friends, Tucker Jones.

BIRTH-DATE: March 12th, 1960.
CONNECTIONS: Michael Bond; best friend. Herbivio Buckwheat, Dirk Cresswell, Nymphadora Tonks; friends.
YEAR : Sixth Year.
PERSONALITY: Sweet, sensitive, goofy, intelligent, good-natured, nerdy, funny.
BRIEF BIO: For the first eleven years of his life, Tucker was a stranger to the magical world of wizards. Born into a muggle family, he was just like any other kid - or so they thought. His mother played house-wife, while his father worked to bring in the income. Unlike most young boys, however, he hated violence. At school while most boys could be found playing fighting games, he would be playing chess or reading a comic book. While he was very intelligent, he lacked in confidence. This meant he was subject to bullying growing up, which definitely didn't help his confidence issues. In fact it was in those moments his wizarding signs would present themselves; a bully's bike might ride away by itself or they'd somehow miss hitting him and end up punching each other instead, leading Tucker to secretly believe he was some kind of superhero, who just needed to learn how to control his powers. So when he got his Hogwarts acceptance letter, while he learnt he wasn't a superhero, needless to say he was ecstatic, and couldn't wait to learn how to control the 'powers' [or magic] he always knew he possessed. His parents were so proud and supported him all the way, and his dad told him he always knew he was special.
During the summer leading up to Hogwarts, he did his best to learn as much as he could about the wizarding world; so when he was put into Ravenclaw, he wasn't confused as to what it meant. Tucker couldn't be more happy to be in Ravenclaw, and he found himself all the more happier to make friends with his fellow house mates, in particular Mickey Bond who soon became to be his best friend. When he wasn't found studying or goofing around with Mickey, Tucker would be running around the castle pretending to be a spy, which is how he became friends with Nymphadora Tonks, since she also happened to enjoy the spy-life.
Tucker thought that since he was a wizard, no one would ever mess with him again, but sadly even the wizarding world has bullies, and along with Mickey he found himself subject to this. It was this way he worked out he wasn't very good at dueling, and that he had a low pain threshold. Luckily, this worked in his favour - after a while, the bullies got bored with Tucker as just the thought of physical pain would cause him to faint - though amusing at first, the bullies quickly became tired without someone conscious to pick on.
Tucker is now in his sixth year, and is a great person to have on your team in games or group homework as he has excellent problem-solving skills. His good-natured and wholesome nature means his friends are protective of him. Though for the very same reason, and the fact that he's trusting means there are those who take advantage of his naivety; often to get further ahead in their studies. Tucker has grown in confidence over the past six years, and is often cracking jokes - especially in awkward or uncomfortable situations. Recently, he's found he wants to be an Auror - his determination to do the right thing means he likes the idea of catching and locking up dark wizards - however the fact that he's not very good at dueling and his aversion to violence poses a problem. He's also allergic to cats, which can be troublesome since cats are one of the three pets allowed at Hogwarts and because Professor McGonagall frequently transfigures into one.
 HERBIVIO FABIO SLENKERD-BUCKWHEAT*PLAY BY: Kieron Richardson
BIRTHDATE: 15th November, 1960.
CONNECTIONS: Madeline Tonks; love interest. Michael Bond, Tucker Jones, Dirk Cresswell, Krystal Hargreaves, Nymphadora Tonks; friends. Fern Slenkerd-Buckwheat; squib sister.
YEAR: Sixth Year.
PERSONALITY: Joker, kind, obsessive, crazy, funny.
BRIEF BIO:Herbivio was born to Rose and Basil Slenkerd-Buckwheat. His parents were both botanists, and they passed down a love of plants to their son. They were never a conventional family, and people would always state how perfect Rose and Basil were for each other because of how crazy they both were. Six years after Herb was born, little Fern Jane Slenkerd-Buckwheat was born; Herb was always very protective of his sister and they got along like a flower and water! Coming from such a strange family, it wasn’t a surprise when Herb started showing his own unique personality. He started collecting stamps; he first realized his love for stamps on his 9th birthday; the family were lost on the way to a muggle garden centre, where they were going for a birthday treat, so they popped into a post office to ask directions. (They could have used a port key but the walk down there was part of Herb’s fun!) In the post office Herb saw some stamps and was intrigued when the lady behind the counter told him how they are used to send letters and that some people would collect stamps, and he has been a proud stamp-collector ever since. He soon built up quite a collection, Fern however didn’t understand and would try to play with the stamps, licking them and sticking them onto Herbs face. It was then he decided that his collection needed bodyguards so he started collecting rocks, naming them as he went along; Sage, Tulip, Poppy, Jasmine, Thyme, Daisy, Violet, Herb (after himself), Flitterboom until soon he had built his very own army lead by Colonel Mandrake. Fern feared the army and never dared to touch his stamps again, leading Herb to believe they really were protectors of stamps and possessed some form of magical powers.
When 11 he received his Hogwarts letter and off he went, taking his stamps and army with him. He was then sorted into Ravenclaw house. Everybody instantly loved him because of his wacky ways and bizarre behaviour. He was immediately labelled the “joker” of the Ravenclaws and would go to extreme measures just to make people laugh, even cross-dressing occasionally; not for his own pleasure of course, but just to get laughs. In his third year he befriended Madeline and has been secretly in love with her ever since; he’s just too afraid to tell her in case it spoils their budding friendship; that and the fact that she seems to be against guys. He's working on changing that. He even went out and found the most beautiful rock he could and named it Madeline; he keeps her next to Herb and pretends they are joined in holy matrimony. Now in his 6th year, Herb is dealing with the fact that his sister Fern is a squib; he would always be writing to her whilst at Hogwarts and it killed him being so far apart from his sister where he couldn’t protect her; and he took it hard when he found out she wouldn’t be joining him at Hogwarts.
Herb’s favourite subject is Herbology, and unsurprisingly he is quite the pro at it. He has a pet stuffed cat named Edwin Von Humperdinck, which he constantly drags around on a leash. He acts as if the cat is real and living, always causing other students to laugh and Slytherins to mock him; and whilst they think he is joking, he genuinely does believe that the stuffed cat he has had since he was 4 is real. He has struck up a close friendship with Krystal and Tonks, the trio calling themselves the three muskiteers. Krys and Tonks are the only people Herb trusts enough to babysit Edwin Von Humperdinck; probably because they are the only people who play along in acting like the cat is real. PLAY BY: Ridge Canipe.
BIRTHDATE: 3rd August, 1964.
CONNECTIONS:Jackson McCartney; best friend. Allison Harte, Curtis Harte; siblings. Ruth Nelson; close friend. Cyrus Talbot; aquaintance. Andy Snuck; idol. Professor Grimmer; innocent crush on.
YEAR: Second.
PERSONALITY: very intelligent, serious, secretly passionate, withdrawn, shy.
BRIEF BIO:Bryce Harte is the second child of the Harte family. His parents – Brad and Janet Harte – had a thing for words. More specifically, they had a thing for letters. And even more specifically, for the alphabet. So when they began having children, they decided the only logical thing to do was name their children in alphabetical order. Their friends told them this was a silly idea – there was no way that they were going to have twenty-six children and so it was absolutely no use even starting alphabetical names, because they’d never get far enough for it to matter. But Brad and Janet insisted, and so when their first child was born, they called her Allison. And then came Bryce and Curtis. And by then they’d decided that if they had just one child a year for the next twenty-three years, they could finish out the alphabet before they turned sixty. Sure, they might have to resort to adoption at some point, but they could do it. So it went on – Darla, Evelyn, Frank, Geoff, Hannah, Ian, Jillian, Kevin… By the time Kevin was born, Allison had got her letter from Hogwarts – but that was to be expected, seeing how Brad was a wizard. Bryce waited eagerly for his own letter.
Allison went off to Hogwarts and while she was gone, little Lawrence was born. This made eleven children in the house, even with Allison away at school, and so the Harte’s had to make new arrangements. They began sending their children away to stay with their distant relatives. Bryce and Curtis were sent to live with their Aunt Meredith and when Allison returned from her first year at Hogwarts, she moved in there too. While Allison and Curtis were immensely fond of Meredith, Bryce didn’t particularly like her. She wasn’t serious enough for him and he was allergic to her seven cats. He was miserable at his aunt’s house – but it was alright. He had Hogwarts to look forward to. He was too withdrawn to ask Allison to tell him about it, but Curtis wasn’t. Curtis was constantly nagging Allison for stories about Hogwarts and Bryce simply sat nearby when she was telling them.
When the time came for him to go to Hogwarts, he was excited. More than that, really – he was overyjoyed by the fact that he got to leave his aunt’s house. So off he went to school where he was sorted into Ravenclaw. He didn’t make friends very easily. He was too quiet, too withdrawn, too shy. But he did make one very close friend – Jackson McCartney. Jackson was outgoing and rambunctious and all the things that Bryce wasn’t. He was a Gryffindor and they had several classes together. When they first met, Bryce was annoyed by Jackson. But Jackson was persistent and determined to make a friend out of anyone he spoke to, so it wasn’t long before the two of them were getting along well. And it wasn’t long before they were the best of friends. He met Ruth Benson through his sister and though she was a year older than him, the two of them hit it off. They began studying together when Ruth wasn’t helping Allison with her studies. He also met Cyrus Talbot through his sister, but he and Cyrus didn’t get along nearly as well. Sure, Cyrus was intellectual, but much too whimsical for Bryce’s tastes. He avoided spending time with the older boy if he could. Bryce’s first year was fairly uneventful, except for one thing – it was in his first year that he met Professor Grimmer. He didn’t particularly like flying – actually, he really, really hated it. But it was required, so he took it very unhappily. At least, he was unhappy about it until he saw Professor Grimmer for the first time. And then flying became his favorite subject, because he was pretty sure he was in love with her. Also during his first year, Bryce gained yet another sibling – Marian.
Now in his second year, Bryce is keeping to the same habits. He remains withdrawn and rarely speaks to anyone but Jackson, Allison, Ruth, Professor Grimmer and now his brother Curtis since he’s come to school. The only reasons he will speak to other people are to avoid being impolite or because he has something very important to say. He knows that Curtis has been getting into some bad situations, but he’s really not sure how to talk his brother out of it and he won’t ask Allison for help, because he knows telling her what’s going on with Curtis will just upset her. He and Jackson are still the best of friends and Bryce is still close with Ruth, though they don’t study together quite as much. Bryce has failed to notice that Ruth has some feelings for him, because he’s too busy trying to woo Professor Grimmer. He is taking Flying as an elective this year as an excuse to be around her and he is constantly trying to impress her with his knowledge or by bringing her flowers and gifts.
