Z O L K I N[/b][/u] | ★[/color] [i]"The girl’s the[b] definition [/b]of tireless."[/i] Zeke – against all odds – actually likes the girl. He expected her to throw in the befriending-towel after a couple of huffy rebuffs from him but she doesn’t seem to know what it means to quit. And that – before anything else – was what Zeke came to like about her. When at last he stopped trying to keep her away, he made disparaging and pointed comments about how sometimes it’s easier to just give up, but he won’t ever admit for the life of him that Alva’s persistence made him feel…alright. She’s got a feisty spirit for such a small girl – it’s wonderfully easy to ruffle her hair and feathers – even if she keeps trying to change his fashion choices. [color=f7976a][u][b]C H A R L E S . K E M P[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]“Hogwarts gave me a family, and it’s an unspoken agreement not to begrudge your own.”[/i] Charles is a year younger than Zeke, but the boy has a certain stand-offish way about him. And it’s known that his kind of news can only be bad. He’s made his sentiments about Muggle-borns known, and Zeke thinks with some degree of bitterness that people like the Kemp are the reason why purebloods have become targets of another kind of prejudice. Zeke’s also come across Charles bullying other students before several times, and stepped in. Beyond that, not many words have been exchanged between the two. He definitely disapproves of Charles’ habits, but the boy’s a Slytherin, and Zeke hasn’t got much of an appetite for keeping bad blood within a house. [color=f7976a][u][b]E L I Z E . V A N Z A N T[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Oh, the barefoot Herbology President."[/i] Zeke is hardly outward, and Elize seems to favour the company of beasts to that of humans, so he doesn’t know her from Adam. He’s seen her Patronus – a wispy conjured panther made of blue smoke – in Defence classes, and that wand of hers looks a peculiar thing. Zeke’s been tempted to palm it in class when the doldrums strike, just to see how long he could get away with it, but he’s resisted the impulse so far. The quietest embers always flare the worst, and Zeke isn't about to take a gainless chance. [color=f7976a][u][b]E V A N G E L I N E . D R A K E[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]“The girl with tattoos and sparse clothing?"[/i] Their paths haven’t crossed much, though from what little Zeke can glean the Gryffindor doesn’t seem to like Slytherins, or him, all that much. Zeke thinks maybe the red hair offends her. He would be insulted by such premature judgment, if the premise didn’t make him smirk so much. [color=f7976a][u][b]G R E G O R Y . J O N E S[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Seems decent enough. Never came across him before, or an urge to punch him, so that’s a wonderful start. No, listen, believe me."[/i] Zeke doesn’t know much about Jones, beyond the fact that he and Alva are good friends. The fellow is a Muggle-Born, and Zeke especially likes the strange hat-thing he frequently infuriates the professors with in class. For a Gryffindor, he looks like he’s got a good handle on his bravado. [color=f7976a][u][b]H Y A C I N T H U S . T R I V E T T[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"He’s got a name like a flower, and he wears ‘em like a crown.[/i] Two years his junior, and of house Hufflepuff, Hyacinthus isn’t very well-known to Zeke. His silver-blonde hair is made all the more noticeable in passing when topped with a ring of flowers. Hyacinthus’ name has been making rounds in the school, and there have been rumours of mischief to do with him. Zeke only finds it amusing, as he does the septum ring the boy has in his nostrils. He seems like a straight-edged kid, and trouble just doesn’t ring a bell with Hyacinthus in Zeke’s head. The closest to interaction he’s had with the boy was in sixth-year, when he came across Charles Kemp bothering Hyacinthus. There had been cronies arranged to stand guard in the corridor, but Zeke had flared his hair into a more alarming shade of fire and grinned a faux smile with sharp canines to get them to step aside while he went forward to intervene. Since then, Zeke hasn’t had much to do with Hyacinthus. The whispers say Hyacinthus has been training up his spells, and Zeke’s been keeping a ear out for that. [color=f7976a][u][b]J O H N S O N . L E E D S[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Wait wait, let me guess…the boy who thinks he’s a charmer."[/i] Zeke doesn’t know Johnson well, despite being in the same year. From what he’s gathered from his peripheral vision, Johnson seems to be have a high regard for himself, and he’s managed to get his way with nothing more than a grin before. Zeke’s never had that smile flashed at him, and he would prefer very much not to have that manipulative glint turned on him. [color=f7976a][u][b]L U C A S . W E S T O N[/b][/u] | ☯/☠[/color] [i]"Ah, the American…It is the American pretty-boy we’re talking about, yeah?"[/i] Zeke hasn’t talked much to Lucas, since his transfer in third year. They’re classmates, but Zeke doesn’t think he’s said more than five words to the kid. He gets the feeling Lucas treads on glass around him, but he hasn’t thought to evaluate the inkling yet. While generally unemotional about Lucas, Zeke harbours mistrust for the boy, especially because the Hufflepuff tiptoes so much it’s become his regular walk. [color=f7976a][u][b]M A D I S O N . L I[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Quiet, unassuming."[/i] They’ve hardly talked, but she’s prominent in class. People have said she’s too frank, but an amused Zeke thinks that’s a charm to have. He’s heard boys in passing call her a tease, but Zeke doesn’t think the girl even know what she’s doing sometimes. [color=f7976a][u][b]O P H E L I A . C R A F T E R[/b][/u] | ★[/color] [i]"Ha, she’s an alright one there. A red-headed oxymoron, and I like that."[/i] Ophelia’s always been slight of figure, but when they crossed paths in the Slytherin common room in the dead of night to sabotage the same less-savoury house-mate, Zeke thought she was definitely too small to be picking fights with snakes like that. He’s gotten to know Ophelia since then, and has come to the conclusion that the girl is, in fact, a nice Slytherin, rare as they come. Oh, she’s got that bite all of them do, but she very admirably keeps it balanced. She’s got this thing for integrity too, while Zeke’s forgotten how to play fair and honesty. Zeke might get his ear twisted a little for that, but Ophelia hasn’t tried to make him change, or overstep boundaries, and he can appreciate that. She’s nice to be around for down-time, when the common room is cold and murmuring with low conversation or when it’s roaring with life and unruliness, the two of them tucked away in chairs with a book to read and a hot beverage. [color=f7976a][u][b]T A D E O . D I A Z[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Eh, the new Slytherin recruit? Sure, why not."[/i] A transfer from King Cove, Diaz is a year younger than Zeke, so they haven’t crossed paths much beyond the obligatory passing in corridors in common-rooms. They might have said a few words, but no ties so far have been established. Tadeo seems like a rambler sometimes, but he certainly surpassed Zeke’s expectations when he arrived. [color=f7976a][u][b]T H O M A S . C R E V I K I[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Been in a lot of clubs, hasn’t he?”[/i] Zeke hasn’t met Thomas properly before. They belong in the same year, but their paths have so far been diverging. He seems a lad keen on Quidditch and learning, still glowing with bushy-tailed wonder about the magic world. Zeke can’t say anything bad about Thomas, but he’s managed to make the graphics on his shirts move, and Zeke is quietly bemusedly impressed by that. [color=f7976a][u][b]W Y A T T . B L A C K W O O D[/b][/u] | ☯[/color] [i]"Is he the one called Know-It-All? Not to enforce stereotypes and all that, but I’d wager the boy’s a Ravenclaw."[/i] Zeke doesn’t know Wyatt well, though the boy is certainly recognisable behind gawky glasses. He’s full of Mayflower Sensibilities – or at least it seems that way – and perhaps the lip ring doesn’t do it for the boy. Zeke doesn’t think he’s in any of Wyatt’s good books.[/indent]
