[quote=Sloth]Oh, don't be so sure, give Johann a few weeks/months with the group and Eoghan'll have him singing Irish Pub Songs and river-dancing, and I'm sure if Johann stays put in his conservative worldview, the look on his face when Eoghan does some extraordinary feat will be all the more amusing to the shortest member of our party.[/quote]

I fully intend for Johann to develop, one way or the other. Coming into contact with [s]freaks and half-breeds[/s] will change him, for better or for worse.

[quote]Well, you've certainly piqued my curiosity with how you intend to write that up. I'm sure James' coming into the acquaintance with Johann will bring some light to that subject.[/quote]

In theory, they're deliberately designed to contrast and complement, and possibly bring out the best or worst in each of them. I just didn't really feel like James was going to cut the mustard, so I'm going to give him a bit more, ya know, character. Shall we go for the best buds prankster (Eoghan) and serious one (James) double-team, btw? As the two male Hufflepuff representatives in the group going on a gap year together, their friendship seems extremely logical. :)
