DORCAS MEADOWS*

PLAY BY: Nina Dobrev
BIRTH-DATE: February 15th
CONNECTIONS: Minerva McGonagall; best friend
OCCUPATION: Order member,
PERSONALITY: Strong willed, patient, smart, loving, caring.
BRIEF BIO: Dorcas Meadows was born to Breanna and Thomas Meadows. While she is an only child, she grew up with many friends. Having parents who had attentded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she knew from a very young age that she would would be attending this school and the closer her eleventh birthday came, the more excited she became. She was generally a very strong willed child and would always push her opinion at every oppotunity. Dorcas wasn't the type to let people push her around or let people get to her. When someone around her wouldn't understand or couldn't keep up with her, she would very patiently help them catch up. She was known as being incredibly smart with her studies in the muggle world and this carried over into her time at Hogwarts as she was very good at flying and transfigurations class.

To most of her friends, she was more or less a mother figure for when they were at Hogwarts, she became friends with Minerva McGonagall and even to this day, they are still very good friends. As she progressed through her years at Hogwarts, everything with her studies seemed to be flawless and she passed with flying colors. It's only natural that she was a Ravenclaw while she attended Hogwarts. During her last few years at Hogwarts her dreams of becomming an Auror moved further and further from her mind as she realized that she needed to stay close to Hogwarts. She wanted to stay there and protect the school that gave her so many wonderful memories in her past. So instead of following her initial dream, to become an auror, she decided she needed to make something closer to the one place she'd always felt safe, Hogsmeade.

Dorcas works in Hogsmeade at the Three Broomsticks and Minerva comes down occassionally just to see her best friend. The two are incredibly close and will often share stories of when they were in school. The customers at the Three Broomsticks adore Dorcas because she isn't afraid to kick people who are causing problems out. She runs a tight ship in there and no one dares to cross her path. Even now she's protective of anyone who comes into the Three Broomsticks and she takes care of everyone who walks through the doors. Her workers love her dearly and she always treats them with the utmost respect.

MAYA KELLEY*

PLAY BY: Jennifer Hudson
BIRTH-DATE: 3 July, 1950
CONNECTIONS: Brenden Kailey {3rd year, Hufflepuff}
OCCUPATION: Auror.
PERSONALITY: Brave, confident, intelligent, hates change, scatter-brained, sharp-tongued, mistrusting.
BRIEF BIO: Maya Kailey was not born to David and Louisa Kailey. Well, that's not entirely true; she was born to David Kailey, but Louisa Kailey? Not so much. Maya's mother, Annabel Kailey, was David's first wife, and she died in childbirth. Maya never knew her. The loss of Annabel was a heavy blow to David Kailey, but he'd always been good at adapting to change, and he remarried to Louisa Kailey when Maya was just a year old. Louisa was a good deal younger and much more attractive than David, and while some people whispered that she was a gold-digger, nothing could have been further from the truth. Louisa was a good, sweet woman, who loved David - and she loved Maya, too.

Maya was a happy child - and why shouldn't she have been? She had two parents who loved her and while David and Louisa weren't rich, but they weren't poor either, and Maya never wanted for anything. She went off to primary school and made friends and rode bikes and did all the things that normal children do. But then things changed. When Maya was eleven, it was explained to her and her family that she was a witch and that she was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Surprisingly, David and Louisa took this very well. Maya, however, did not. The idea that she was different terrified Maya, and for a short while she was determined that she would not go to Hogwarts, because she didn't want to be a witch. When the time came though, Maya gathered her courage and went away to school - and she was glad she did, because she quickly grew to love Hogwarts. She was sorted into Gryffindor and it was there that she met her best friend, Rosemary Chilcott. She and Rosemary did everything together and they were inseparable for all seven of their years at Hogwarts.

During her time at Hogwarts, Maya was reasonably well liked. She was, by no means, one of the popular girls, but she had lots of friends, and even a few boyfriends, and she was content with that. When she was thirteen, Maya gained a little brother - his name was Brenden Kailey, and Maya absolutely adored (and still does adore) him. She was very smart, and did well in classes, in spite of the fact that she was the one of most disorganized students Hogwarts had ever seen. More often than not, the essays she turned in were written on crumpled, folded paper, and when she generally had to dump out everything in her book bag just to find a pencil. To call her scatter-brained and disorganized would be an understatement. Still, she managed. Her best class by far was Defense Against the Dark Arts. She loved DADA, and she was brilliant at it, and it was these things combined that led her to decide to become an auror. So when she finished school, she went on to begin training to be an auror. This proved to be one of the best decisions she ever made, as during her auror training, she met Sidney Marshall. They'd been in the same year at Hogwarts, as well as the same house, but somehow they'd never really got to know eachother. They did get to know eachother during their training though, and they hit it off. Sure, Sidney was a little bit awkward at first; but he was clever and fun to be around, and Maya found his initial shyness endearing. Sidney quickly became one of Maya's best friends and he introduced her to his brother, Fletcher. When she met him for the first time, Maya had a little crush on Fletch - he was kind and articulate and paid her a good deal of attention. At first she thought he liked her back, but then she met his girlfriend Jennifer and realized that this was not the case. However, the fact that he had a girlfriend just made her like him more, because it meant that he wasn't being nice to her because he wanted something from her, he was being nice to her because he was a genuinely nice guy. Her crush on him only lasted for about a week, and then she got over it and she and Fletcher eventually became good friends.

When she was twenty-three, Maya met Luther Talbot. He was fresh out of Hogwarts and planning on becoming a rockstar, and Maya couldn't help but be charmed by him. She and Luther had a whirlwind romance and for a year, Maya was positive that he was the man of her dreams. Luther got famous quickly and when his old friend Ambrose St. Claire appeared on the scene and he and Luther began to butt heads, Maya was immediately took Luther's side. She spent hours trashing Ambrose and once even sent a hex his way when she saw him in Hogsmeade. But then she discovered that Luther was a death eater and things changed very quickly. Maya left Luther after a huge fight. She spent several nights in Rosemary's living room, eating ice cream and sobbing, and then she vowed never to let herself be fooled like that again.

Now, Maya has become a proper auror and has also joined the order. She has met Ambrose St. Claire during order meetings and upon learning that Luther actually stole all of Ambrose's songs, she was absolutely appalled with herself for taking Luther's side in the very public St.Claire/Talbot war. She and Rosemary are still bestfriends and every other friday night is movie night for them, though they rarely actually watch movies - usually they end up getting very, very drunk and doing very, very stupid things. A few months ago Maya did something especially stupid on one of these nights - she called Luther and invited him to her apartment. She has no memory of what happened after he arrived and she hasn't told anybody about it - not even Sidney or Rosemary. Recently, Maya has realized that her feelings for Sidney are more than just the typical bestfriend feelings - much, much more. However, she's pretty sure that he doesn't think of her that way, and she's not sure telling him is worth the risk of ruining the friendship, so she is keeping her feelings to herself. Maya loves her job, though her parents don't quite understand it. When they ask her to explain what she does, she tells them she is a 'wizard cop.' Since breaking up with Luther, Maya has had trouble trusting new people. She is suspicious of everyone she meets and this causes her quite a bit of trouble.

RHIANNA JADE WRIGHT*

PLAY BY: Evan Rachel Wood
BIRTH-DATE: 9th September, 1955
CONNECTIONS: Christine Wright- Sister
OCCUPATION: Shop Girl
PERSONALITY: Intelligent, compassionate, brave, proud, indecisive, competitive, unforgiving
BRIEF BIO: Rhianna Wright was born into a family that was absolutely normal in almost every way - but only almost. What wasn't normal about the Wright family was that Mrs. Wright was a wizard - and Mr. Wright was the only member of the family that didn't know. At least, not until one morning during the summer of Rhianna's twelfth year, when an owl flew in through the kitchen window and dropped a letter on the kitchen table while they were eating breakfast. The letter explained that Rhianna had been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and that she was to board the Hogwarts Express from Platform Nine and Three Quarters at precisely eleven o'clock. Naturally, this raised a few questions from Mr. Wright. Questions like, 'what the bloody hell do you mean you're a witch?' and 'what the kind of name is Hogwarts?'

So, Mrs. Wright came clean and by some stroke of good luck for them all, Mr. Wright could not find it within himself to leave his family. Sure, the fact that she'd lied to him was upsetting, but he couldn't bring himself to stop loving them just because they were different. And so it was that Rhianna went of to Hogwarts - like she'd always known she was going to - leaving her little sister Christine at home with her parents while they worked out their new issues. One the train ride to Hogwarts, Rhianna met three people who would become very important to her. These people were Ambrose St. Claire (then called Algernon Adams), Dave Williams, and Luther Talbot. The four of them rode together in the same compartment and they hit it off. Ambrose was a muggleborn and so Dave, Luther and Rhianna told him everything they knew about magic. Admittedly, for Rhianna this wasn't much, because while she'd always known that she was a witch, her mother had never told her much for fear she might let something slip to her father. Still, she knew more than Ambrose, and she told him all of it. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, the four new friends were sorted into different houses. Rhianna was put in Ravenclaw, Ambrose in Gryffindor, Dave in Hufflepuff, and Luther in Slytherin. In spite of this, they were determined to remain friends - and they did.

Rhianna's time at Hogwarts passed mostly without incident. She was very intelligent and did well in all her classes, though her best (and also her favorite) class was Herbology. She made many friends, though Ambrose, Dave and Luther were always her best friends. In their fifth year, Ambrose, Dave and Luther formed a band, and while Rhianna was not a part of it due to the fact that she had no musical talent, she was a devoted fan. The three boys were immensely popular, and this made Rhianna quite popular, too. A number of boys chased her {Luther and Ambrose included}, but she never showed interest in any of them. Some suspected that she was a lesbian, but this was not the case. The truth was, Rhianna was desperately in love with Dave. Dave, however, was completely oblivious to this, much to Rhianna's dismay. In her sixth year, Rhianna befriended Billie Tyler, a Gryffindor girl who was a year older than her.

And then, in the beginning of her seventh year, everything changed. Luther came back to school acting strangely and it didn't take long for Ambrose, Dave, and Rhianna to figure out why. Luther was considering becoming a death eater. He tried to convince the three of them to join up with him, but to no avail - Dave and Rhianna politely (well, as politely as they could manage when they were completely disgusted) declined, while Ambrose, being a muggleborn himself, flew into a rage at the very suggestion. The situation ended in Ambrose and Luther getting into a physical fight, Dave having to break it up. The rest of their seventh year passed quickly. Ambrose refused to speak to Luther and Luther refused to listen when Dave and Rhianna tried to talk him out of becoming a death eater, and so, needless to say, the band was no more.

After finishing school, Rhianna really didn't know what she wanted to do. At first she was rather concerned about this - everyone else had such plans. Ambrose was going to be famous, Dave was going to be his producer, Billie was going to travel... Everybody knew what they wanted, but she didn't. While she worked on figuring it out, she got a job at a shop in London. One morning, while she was getting ready to go to work, she heard something strange on the radio she kept in her bedroom- it was one of the songs Ambrose had written for the old band, but it certainly wasn't being performed by Ambrose. She was living in a flat just across the street from where Ambrose and Dave were living at the time and so, in a panic, she grabbed her radio and barged into their apartment. When the song ended, the DJ declared that it was by 'breakout artist Luther Talbot.' And that was how they discovered that Luther had stolen all the songs Ambrose wrote for the old band.

Now, Rhianna is still living in that same flat and working in that same shop. She's still not sure what she wants to do with her life, but she's working on figuring it out and she's happy where she is for the moment. She has joined the order and, though she's sorry to have to be the enemy of her old friend Luther, she would rather die than change sides. She is still bestfriends with Ambrose and Dave, and is also good friends with Ambrose's fiancee, Faith. She finds it absolutely appalling that Ambrose has not yet told Faith that he is a wizard. Rhianna is immensely proud of Ambrose and Dave for all they've accomplished. She is still desperately in love with Dave, but is under the impression that he thinks of her as a sister, and has not yet worked up the courage to tell him the truth. She and Billie Tyler remain good friends and Billie is the only one who knows of Rhianna's feelings for Dave. There is quite an age difference between her and her sister Christine, and because of this, she doesn't really know her sister very well - but she's working on changing that, by writing Christine often and occasionally even visiting her in Hogsmeade.

AMBROSE ST. CLAIRE*

PLAY BY: Russell Brand
BIRTHDATE: 31 October, 1955
CONNECTIONS: Alice Adams- Sister. Nymphadora Tonks, Krystal Hargreaves, Lillian Morris- Acquaintances, Faith Silvestre- fiance. Rachel Toulsen; used to be friends, before she turned death eater.
OCCUPATION: Rockstar in the muggle world
PERSONALITY: Extremely intelligent, laid-back, liberal, open-minded, creative, witty, sharp-tongued, rebellious, a flirt, charming, charismatic, violent when angry.
BRIEF BIO: Ambrose St. Claire was born to Martin and Janice Adams in 1955 on Halloween. The two of them named their first born Algernon Michael Adams, a name that Ambrose always hated and only kept until he turned eighteen. Martin and Janice were two perfectly normal people – Martin was a doctor, Janice a stay at home mom. They went to church on Sundays, ate dinner together at the table every night and never did anything out of the ordinary. And they expected their son to be just the same. Unfortunately for them, this was not the case. From a young age, Ambrose was very, very different. He didn’t like going to church and when he was three he declared that God did not exist – a statement that earned a shriek of horror from his mother and a spanking from his father. He refused to do ordinary things that his parents thought he ought to – this included cutting his hair, bathing regularly, and eating any food other than bread and jam. Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t obey his parents. If they told him to do something, he did it, but Martin and Janice didn’t want to make him do things he didn’t want to, so most of the time they simply suggested things; it was always, ‘Darling, if you don’t mind, could you take a bath tonight? You’re starting to smell…’ or ‘Son, what would you say to going out and getting your hair cut tomorrow, nice and short like mine?’ The only thing Martin and Janice never budged on was his name – though he asked on multiple occasions if they would call him something else, they continued calling their son Algernon.

When Ambrose was nearly four years old, his mother got pregnant again. Martin and Janice were excited, but Ambrose was vaguely annoyed. He was sure the new child was just going to swoop in and take away all his attention and eat all his bread and jam and then what was he supposed to eat? Crackers and peanut butter? He didn’t think so. When Martin and Janice brought home his new baby sister, Alice, Ambrose was wary of her. Upon seeing her the first time time he told his father he didn’t see what the big deal was, she was just a little pink thing, and for this he was sent to his room with no bread and jam. In spite of his initial dislike of Alice, he quickly grew quite fond of her. As it turned out, Alice was just as strange as he was, and though this made him very happy, it was a bit of a letdown to Martin and Janice. Still, Martin and Janice were supportive of their children – even when Ambrose insisted on wearing a pair of black cowboy boots everywhere and Alice began using a pair of bright orange binoculars to spy on the neighbors.

Ambrose and Alice soon grew very close. They played together all the time, in spite of the four year gap in their ages, and spent a good deal of time mocking the other children in the neighborhood for being such squares. But when Ambrose was twelve and Alice was eight, things changed. A man arrived at their house and told them he was from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Ambrose was being invited to attend. At this point, Martin and Janice were so used to their children’s strangeness that they didn’t even question the fact that Ambrose was a wizard. In fact, they clung to the idea, using it to explain their children’s quirks and asking the man if Alice was magical, too. The man said that she was, but she would have to wait three years until she could start at Hogwarts.

So, Ambrose went off to Hogwarts, leaving his little sister behind, and it was on the train that he met Luther Talbot, Dave Williams and Rhianna Wright. Luther, Rhianna and Dave were first years just like him and the four of them very quickly became best friends. Luther and Dave both came from wizarding families and, while on the train, they told Ambrose everything they knew about Hogwarts. Just before the sorting the three of them promised that, no matter what houses they were in, they would try to stay friends – and it was lucky they made that promise, because they were all put in different houses. Luther was sorted into Slytherin, Ambrose into Gryffindor, Rhianna into Ravenclaw and Dave into Hufflepuff. In spite of this, they did manage to stay friends and Luther, Dave and Ambrose even started a band in their fifth year. Ambrose wrote and sang all the band’s songs, while Dave played drums and Luther played guitar and provided back-up vocals. Rhianna did not join the band for the simple reason that she didn't have any musical talent. She did, however, remain bestfriends with the the boys. The three of them were quite popular; Ambrose and Luther went through countless girls during their school years, while Dave was much too shy. Ambrose was charming and charismatic and very few people disliked him. One of the exceptions to this was Maxwell Wesley. Wesley was two years older than Ambrose and the older boy did not like him. This was probably Ambrose’s own fault, as Ambrose had a bad habit of flirting with Wesley’s girlfriend, Phillis Grimmer. Phillis actively hated Ambrose, but that didn’t stop him from flirting with her, and his flirting caused several fights between Wesley and Ambrose. Ambrose passed all his classes easily, doing as little as he had to and earning quite of few lectures from Professors about how he was wasting his potential.

Everything was going well for Ambrose, Rhianna, Dave and Luther until the beginning of their seventh year. Luther came back to school acting differently and it wasn’t long before Ambrose, Rhianna and Dave discovered that he was considering becoming a death eater. Luther tried to convince Ambrose, Rhianna and Dave to join up with him, but Ambrose, being a muggleborn himself, was so offended by the idea that Luther’s suggestion ended in the two of them getting in a physical fight. The rest of their seventh year passed quickly, with Ambrose being blatantly hostile towards Luther while Dave and Rhianna attempted to convince Luther to change his mind so they could fix things. But Luther didn’t change his mind and that was the end of their band.

Ambrose was eighteen when he left Hogwarts and had his name legally changed from Algernon to Ambrose and left his family’s surname behind in favor of the name ‘St. Claire.’ His plan was to take all the songs he’d written for the band and use them as a solo artist, with Dave as his producer. And this plan probably would have worked well if not for the fact that Luther beat him to it. Ambrose and Dave had been out of school only a couple of months when they found what Luther had done. They were renting a flat in London together at the time and they were shocked when, one morning, Rhianna barged into their flat in a panic, carrying a radio that was playing one of their songs. When the song was finished, the DJ announced that it was by ‘breakout artist Luther Talbot.’ Dave suggested they take Luther to court, but Ambrose knew they’d never win. So, instead, the two of them settled for making Ambrose far more popular than Luther as a means of revenge. Ambrose wrote all new songs and, because he was really quite talented, it wasn’t long before he became ridiculously famous. He met Faith Silvestre at a record release party. Faith was a well known muggle popstar and the two of them hit it off and quickly became a couple.

Now, the name Ambrose St. Claire is very well known in the muggle world – though not so much in the wizarding world. The fact that he isn’t famous in the wizarding world actually bothers him, and he has taken to carrying around a newspaper clipping about himself just so that he can prove that yes, he is famous. He is a member of the Order and has been since he was nineteen. He is now twenty and will be twenty-one in October of 1976. Unfortunately for Ambrose, Luther is just as famous as he is, and the two of them have a very public rivalry. They’ve gotten into countless fights, the most recent of which ended with Ambrose throwing an empty beer bottle at Luther’s head. Ambrose is a big partier – he drinks, he smokes, and he’ll try any drug once. His drug of choice is pot and Dave and Rhianna are constantly chastising him for it. Ambrose’s music is extremely controversial and because of this, most people either love it or hate it. Ambrose and Faith are still together – actually, they’re engaged. Ambrose knows he should be happy about this, but the problem is, he has yet to tell Faith that he is a wizard. He really doesn’t know how she’ll react to it, but he knows he has to tell her soon if he wants to stay with her – and he does.

He and Alice are still very close and he often goes to Hogsmeade to meet her on her school trips. He’s good friends with all of her friends and actually gets on better with them than most people his own age. Upon finding out that Alice and Sirius were dating, Ambrose threatened to ‘cut something off of Sirius’ if Sirius hurt her. He then started laughing hysterically and said, “I’m just kidding, mate, I’ll kill you if you hurt her.” In spite of his threats, Ambrose actually quite likes Sirius, because he sees a lot of himself in the younger boy. The only one of Alice’s friends who seems to dislike Ambrose is Emily Williams. Alice has assured Ambrose that Emily is just shy and Ambrose, not one to be ignored, is determined to get Emily to like him; unfortunately, most of his attempts at being friendly with Emily just frighten her. On several occasions he’s run into Phillis Grimmer in Hogsmeade and he continues to flirt with her every time he sees her, much to Alice’s disgust. He’s also run into Wesley in Hogsmeade and these meetings usually just end in the two of them fighting. Their fights never get physical though, because Alice’s friend Lillian, who has a crush on Wesley, always starts to cry at the thought of Wesley being injured, and then Alice shouts at Ambrose to stop making her best friend cry.
