Definitely, I actually think Simon Snow is my smol child and we know it. The closing scene was so down to Earth, absolutely a great way to tie it all up. The unreleased fanfic has never been seen by anybody but her. :( Secret Cupid time, for both you and Marietta and Parvati to answer. 1. What is your favorite place? 2. What music do you like? 3. How did you meet your best friend? And one more just for you: What is your favorite musical?

OOCI cried buckets at the end, both good and bad tears tbh. Aw that sucks :(

My favourite place is probably Loch Ness, It's so beautiful and tranquil. The kind of place you just want to sit beside and read meaningful poetry. I like all kinds of music but lately I've been listening to the new P!ATD album (love it so much) and also, bizarrely, a lot of Crosby, Stills and Nash. I've known my best friend pretty much all my life, I don't remember an exact meeting, but I also don't really remember a time she wasn't in my life. My favourite musical is either Spring Awakening or Les Mis, love them both to pieces <3

Marietta's favourite place is her workshop. It's cluttered and nothing is in its proper place, there's discarded coffee mugs all over the place and books scattered and opened on random pages. However, her magic just seems to flow better there and, despite the mess, her mind is clear. She loves classical music and could listen to Chopin or Tchaikovsky all day, but really she enjoys anything instrumental. Marietta met Cho at the Ravenclaw table after being sorted, they didn't click instantly, but over time formed a strong bond.

There is nowhere Parvati loves more than the divination classroom at Hogwarts. She spent countless hours just exploring and learning with Lavender, back when everything was easy and they were (fairly) innocent. She loves pop music; boy bands especially. Parvati hates when people act superior about their music tastes and insists that all music is good. Sometimes she feels like she listens to mainstream music to make a point more than anything else, but she enjoys it nonetheless. Parvati met Lavender on the train to Hogwarts. They immediately knew they were destined to be friends; it was written in the stars. As soon as Lavender was sorted into Gryffindor, Parvati was sure that's where she'd be sorted too.

OOC Whoever my secret Cupid is, I was kind of stupid and deleted the question in my inbox. However, I do have the answer saved. So here's the answer, without the question: I know, they're so perfect I was pretty much dying while reading <3 Really? If you find it then please let me know because I'm so there for that! I'm always early and end up having to wait for ages, it's a good way to get a better Piano Tiles score (I'm obsessed tbh). As for extra curriculars; I play in a jazz funk band, I sing in a choir and I act in local musicals. I'm a little bit of a musical theatre nerd ngl. My favourite thing about playing Marietta is the change to give her the redemption arc she totally deserves. I always felt really bad for her, especially considering everyone seemed to think she deserved it! As for Parvati, it's great to be able to add some depth to an otherwise shallow and overlooked character. Also, she's far more likeable than Marietta so I enjoy exploring her fun and outgoing personality. Parvati is less sarcastic and has more genuine banter. Marietta doesn't really care deeply about very much and isn't in a particularly happy place, whereas Parvati has deluded herself into thinking that now all of the trouble is over everything will return to normal. She's far more optimistic and naive in that respect. The drastic differences between them really make them more fun to play, and it's interesting to think how each character would respond to certain scenarios. They are similar in some ways though; they're both stubborn, passionate and entirely too attached to the past.

No, your books are super cool! I love Rainbow Rowell, Carry On and Fangirl are two of my favorite books. I should get started reading Pride and Prejudice soon, I've heard some very swoon-worthy things about Mr. Darcy that I think I'll have to investigate for myself. Now for questions! Question 2 IC: Most people say that your values are partly from your family, so how did Marietta's family affect her? And Parvati? Question 2 OOC: What secret talent(s) do you have that others may not know about?

OOC

I love Carry On and Fangirl too! <3 I love Mr Darcy, can't wait for the new zombie movie- it's going to be awesome. Secret talents? That's tough. To be honest I've never been effortlessly good at something in particular. I play the trumpet, although not particularly well, and I'm an okay songwriter, but I wouldn't say I have any talents. It's cool though, I'm fine with being kind of good at most things. They do say a jack of all trades is better than a master of one, no?

IC

Marietta trusts her family a lot; probably too much. She inherited pretty much her whole personality from her mother and would do anything to protect her. They're both difficult to understand and get along with, and deep down all they really want is someone that will spend the time to get to know them. Her father is light in both of their lives; he's too good to be true. And, although Marietta tries really hard, she can never come close to his kind of good. However, sometimes it's thanks to him that she even tries at all.

Parvati thinks that perhaps the reason she was sorted into Gryffindor stems from her upbringing. She had always had impeccable family values and a strong sense of loyalty. For some reason, despite being more superficial and emotional than Padma, she felt the need to protect her. From what she had no idea, but Parvati would go to impossible lengths to ensure her family's safety. This lead her to discover her inner strength and bravery, which might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

Hi Belle! How are you? I'm your secret cupid (I would usually insert my name here but that would kind of ruin the entire point), so I wanted to drop in and say hi! Throughout the week, I'll be spamming you with both questions about Marietta and Parvati, as well as yourself. So here's the first question: Do Marietta and Parvati have a favorite book, and if so, what is it and why? And the second: Do you have a favorite book as well? Who's your favorite character?

OOC

Hello! I'm so good right now, this whole thing is pretty exciting and I love the idea!

Marietta's favourite book would have to be ‘A History of Magic' by Bathilda Bagshot. She adores wizarding history and prefers non-fiction books above all other genres. She's the type of person that re-reads Charms textbooks for fun. However, occasionally she does enjoy a good romance novel.

Parvati doesn't read very often, preferring to occupy her time with ‘more important' things, but she is a hopeless romantic at heart. Muggle literature never interested her until a friend gave her a copy of ‘Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, she found the book so captivating that she just had to read more. So far, her favourite is ‘Emma'.

My favourites are far less interesting, at the moment it's a three-way tie between ‘The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern, ‘Landline' by Rainbow Rowell and The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe. I'm not sure that I have a favourite character from any of them, but still I highly reccommend them all!
