This RP is the backstory for one of my school RP characters, Professor Doyle Branxton. I find it intriguing that he was a Slytherin, yet he was very much the goody two shoes. I'm guessing he was placed in Slytherin due to his ambition but, I really don't know all that much about him and would like to explore his history a bit more. I get to know my characters best through RPing with others so, I hope some of you will join me in the RP. Since this RP will take place slightly after the time of Harry Potter, I'm looking for mostly made-up characters, though some of the professors may or may not still be around (we can decide those details later as I don't anticipate the professors playing major roles).

The year is 2035 (39 years after Harry & Voldemort perish in their epic battle of good versus evil). It is Doyle Branxton's final year at Hogwarts and he is Head Boy. Interestingly enough, it is also the final year for a Hufflepuff girl (Nora Leiden) and a Gryffindor boy (Kobus Hendrik).

Note for those who follow the school RP: Zizhen would be a second year, Devine would be a first year, Hutchinson would be a 3rd year, and Yarns would be a fifth year.

I'm not sure how this RP will play out since it's a simple plot: Doyle's life and friends in his seventh year. I suspect he had several close friends and they didn't necessarily all have to be in Slytherin house. This probably caused some contention between himself and his housemates so, there's room for people to chose whether they want to be a friend or foe. Remember, he's a Slytherin, but he is rather prim and proper (or maybe that's just what we think

)

Please don't be intimidated. I'm hoping to include some regular members in this RP, not just my staff buddies, though I'm sure they're going to join up (or, I hope). So, jump in if you'd like to play along. If you'd like to join but, are having trouble coming up with a character, post anyway and we'll work something out.

Name: Doyle Branxton
Year: 7th
Birthdate: March 8, 2018 (so he's 17 at the start)
Favorite Classes: Potions & History of Magic
Least Favorite: Charms
Activities: Head Boy
House: Slytherin

Looks: Doyle is six feet tall with black hair and blue eyes. He is a medium build and wears glasses. His appearance is always neat and tidy and it's a wonder he can even come out of herbology looking spic n' span.

Personality: Doyle is calm and quiet. He has a few close friends. Most people mistake his quiet, thoughtfulness for being shy. Despite this seeming shyness, he is well suited to prefecting though, he would prefer to listen in silence rather than participate in scuffles and arguments. He is very studious, excelling in all his classes, even though he doesn't particularly like charms (I'm not sure why not, yet). I see Doyle as being rather Percy-ish when it comes to his duties as head boy and being respected as such, though he's not quite as stuck up as Percy tends to come off.

History: There was some muggle blood a few generations back in Doyle's family, but there are few wizarding families without such interminglings at some point so, for all intents and purposes, he is a pureblood. Doyle was always interested in seeing how things worked, even as a young child. He displayed the typical signs of magical abilities in his youth and was, of course, given admission to Hogwarts.

It took him a while to make friends since he was sorted into Slytherin house and had seemingly nothing in common with his housemates. Despite efforts on the staff's part to promote inter-house relations, the other three houses were still wary of anyone in Slytherin house. Most of his friendships were formed with people from other houses, causing a further rift between Doyle and his housemates. Despite this rift, he was given the post of prefect in his fifth year, a duty he took to heart.

He is now a rather ambitious seventh year student and head boy to boot. He has aspirations of gaining employment with the Ministry of Magic and, as such, is studying hard for his NEWTs.

Clara turned around slowly to the thump. It was no surprise to see Max's robes billowing away. "Aren't the Ravenclaws frisky today?" Clara said loudly. "I think they're up to something, Doyle." Clara made a note and swiveled in her seat.

With a cautious look up to the staff table, then back to Max, she sent a charm across the hall to his backside. It would do nothing but sting him a little, but it was only fair. He'd got her first. And... if Clara knew anything about anyone, she knew Max would appreciate the reciporcal attention. She watched with bright eyes, her glasses changing to a bright magenta.

demented_death_eater · 09-21-2006, 01:40 AM

"WHAT THE . . . bloody hell!" Max yelped and rubbed his backside as he turned in the direction of the Slytherin table. Clara . . . of course. Let's see how she responds to this one . . . she hates to be embarassed . . . and so does Nora.

Standing up and facing the entire Slytherin table, a bright smile lit up his face and his blue eyes twinkled. "You need to get over it, Clara darling. I know it's difficult but life does go on," he beamed loudly and glanced over at Nora. "Yo, babe! You and me at noon . . . don't forget."

Si · 09-21-2006, 01:47 AM

As soon as the first drop of coffee hit Miranda's lips, she nearly choked on it because of something Max had just said in response to Clara putting a charm on him. She started coughing a bit and massaging her temples. When she realized he said something about him and Leiden, she started laughing as quiet as she could. "Looks like he's going to go through with it for us, Robert. This should be some fun to see."

Mad Eye Touz · 09-21-2006, 01:50 AM

Clara's smile wavered for a moment. Only a moment. She took a deep breath and stood.

Then, she did what she had to. Drama Queen Clara was up. "Oh Max, my Maxy! Don't do this to me! Not on our anniversary! OH Max....," Clara wailed, going up to him. She stopped in front of him, tears, fake and practiced tears rolled down her face. "I loved you. I do love you! Oh Maxy!" Clara had to bury her face in his chest to hide her giggles. Her shoulder shrugs could easily be disguised for sobs.

demented_death_eater · 09-21-2006, 01:50 AM

Robert couldn't believe it either, but he knew Max too well. "Lucky for us, he doesn't even think about his actions. He just reacts," he whispered into her ear. "That can explain him having a chair with his name engraved on it down in the dungeons." But he wasn't prepared for what happened next . . . .

"Oh, Clara just this last time," Max said huskily as he wrapped his arms around her and dipped her body to one side as he planted a firm kiss on her lips. Then he let go and dropped her to the ground. "Next time, use your hands and not a charm if you want to grab my bum," he said and sat back down.

Si · 09-21-2006, 01:57 AM

"I am so happy Max doesn't think before he acts. If he actually thought something through, I'd probably die on the spot or something." Miranda said quietly with a hint of amusement in her voice. Her eyes widened as Max planted a kiss on the lips of Clara. "Did he just kiss her? Max is definitely ready for the challenge of distracting Nora Leiden. I can't believe he just did that. The boy is insane."

Mad Eye Touz · 09-21-2006, 02:04 AM

Clara wasn't embarrassed easily. Hardly at all, really. She had full expected Max to go along with her, play his part. But, to actually kiss her in front of everyone was something completely different! Her cheeks turned as bright as her glasses. Then his remark about his bum just sent her over the embarrassment limit.

As Clara sat on the floor, her bum now sore, her cheeks on fire - she knew had to do something, anything to redeem herself. She was normally really quite a quick thinker. His kiss had her off though. So, Clara pretended to faint, hand to her forehead. A little ball of Slytherin robes was at Max's feet.

demented_death_eater · 09-21-2006, 02:10 AM

"Come off it, Clara. That wasn't the knock-out kiss, but if you want me to try it, I can," he smirked at the ball of Slytherin robes at his feet and gave her a gentle nudge. "Get off the floor before I'm forced to give you mouth-to-mouth . . . again."

Mad Eye Touz · 09-21-2006, 02:53 AM

Clara didn't move a muscle.

Cassirin · 09-21-2006, 03:02 AM

Leiden had made it almost all the way out the door before Max started shouting. She turned on her heel in the doorway and watched the scene unfold. Marching across the floor, Leiden clutched her books in front of her and glared. "Do not include me in your juvenile antics. For the much-vaunted brains of Ravenclaw..." She took in Robert and Miranda. "I'm not impressed."

demented_death_eater · 09-21-2006, 03:25 AM

"Give it a rest, Nora and learn how to take a joke before it kills you," Max said nonchalantly and looked back down at Clara. "Get up, Clara before I really have to kiss you and then we'll both be in trouble. The fun is over since Miss I-Think-I'm Important-Because-I'm-Head-Girl ruined our little party."

Something inside of him snapped and he knew he'd be assigned the first detention of the year, but this was going to be worth it. "Know what, Nora? I don't care if you're not impressed. No one cares what you think. That badge that you flaunt means absolutely nothing because the git that wears it doesn't know right from wrong," he said angrily as he got into Nora's face. "Go ahead and take points from Ravenclaw because it gives you a thrill, I don't care. Go ahead and throw me in detention, I don't care. Get used to it babe - you can't intimidate me with your false sense of power because I don't care."

What Max did next was unexpected, even for himself. He grabbed Nora by the shoulders and planted a firm kiss on her lips for a few seconds before pushing her away. He stared at her in disbelief at what he just did. First Clara and now Nora . . . Merlin, this was going to be a long year.

Fabian was too busy eating and getting his usual supply of morning caffeine to pay attention to Kailee's plate, until his name was somewhat mentioned in the conversation. He blinked at bren's comment before fully realising what he meant. Smirking slightly as the first years moved away from him, fabian leaned towards them more clicking his jaws together and making biting motions to scare them even more.

Fabian stopped his teasings when he heard max's scream accross the hall, he turned around to get a better look at him. Ravenclaw's making fool of themselves was always a joy to watch. He soon felt his face warm up and his heart beat rather faster than usual when he heard the conversation between max and clara, but felt his face burn even more when he saw them kiss. He clutched his fork tightly wanting so badly to throw it in max's direction, but the fact that those two were together for what seemed a year suprised him masking more of a smirk on his face instead. Max's odd behavior by kissing nora next with more yelling made the scene rather more enjoyable.

He turned again facing his friends shifting his gaze onto Doyle wondering why he was quiet the entire time before fixing it to his plate. "I never knew clara was dating max for a year? and whats wrong with him kissing nora infront of clara. Unbelievable! doesn't even know how to treat a girl right and they call themselves smart" said fabian shoving bread into his mouth as if biting something hard would take his anger away "Un...B..eli...va...ble", shaking his head more.

Crystal had been quietly eating some porridge and watched Clara cast the spell and giggled at that. She then watched Max and Clara act on what had happened and giggled at that also. However, when Max kissed Clara and she fainted her jaw dropped and when he kissed Nora, her spoon dropped; into the bowl of porridge with a clang.

Crystal removed herself from her seat and headed over to Clara and gave her a slight nudge with her foot. No response, "I think shes out. You can take her to the Hospital Wing, Romeo." She faced Nora, "I hope you feel ok, it appears Maxy's lucious lips are either so disgusting that it made Clara faint or that they contain secret pores which excrete venom."

Biochemkris · 09-21-2006, 04:30 PM

"You said hello, yes but that was about it," Doyle conceeded to Zitsburg. Then, it seemed all chaos started to break loose. He had hoped it would resolve itself but, it seemed he would be forced to intervene. After wiping his mouth with his napkin, Doyle stood, straightened his badge, and put a hand on Max's chest. "That's enough. I think you'd better go sit back down before you say anything else to the Head Girl that you'll regret."

Then, he knelt down beside Clara and put a hand on her forehead. "I think she might need the hospital wing," he said, and pointed to Zitsburg. "Go fetch the matron and I'll wait here with Clara. Everyone else should disperse. Classes are going to start shortly and you won't want to be late."

Si · 09-21-2006, 09:24 PM

As the scene between Max and Leiden unfolded, Miranda put her head in her hands. She didn't want to watch Leiden boss Max around like she did any other student. Leiden needed to leave now before Miranda decided to do something drastic like kill her. However when Max gave his little speech to Leiden, Miranda groaned and started feeling really dizzy. She suddenly fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Leeness · 09-21-2006, 09:27 PM

Crystal groaned. She would have told Branxton to go do it himself if it hadn't been Clara lying motionless on the floor. She headed to the office of the matron; hoping she hadn't patients already. Crystal returned about ten minutes later, the nurse in tow.

OOC - Will I play the nurse to? Ill just go for it ^^ haha

Nurse Campbell came gliding along after Miss Zitsburg after being informed of a student who had fainted. She had brought a small green bottle with a clear liquid concealed within it. She had come prepared. "Make way," she called as she tried to get to Clara. She knelt down and liftend Clara's head up and proped her lips open slighty so she could pour the solution easily into her mouth.

demented_death_eater · 09-21-2006, 11:10 PM

Max stared blankly at Doyle. "Sorry 'bout that, Nora. Doyle, I'm leaving . . . date with the Giant Squid," he mumbled and was about to hurry out of the Great Hall when he heard another commotion at the Ravenclaw table....

Robert was enjoying the entire scene before him when suddenly he felt Miranda go limp. "Miranda!" he shouted and caught her in his arms before she could hit the floor. It was quite the scene - he was kneeling on the hard stone floor while supporting his girlfriend who had fainted. "Doyle . . . someone, get help . . . please."

Mad Eye Touz · 09-21-2006, 11:45 PM

Oh MERLIN, Clara thought. What has she done to deserve this?! It was too late to cry wolf, so she just took it. First Doyle's pampering, Crys' panicing, Max's taunts, and finally... the undoubtedly disgusting potion she was about to have to endure.

Clara lay perfectly limp in the nurse's lap, praying that she really would faint. At least it would be an interesting thing to write about later...

Leeness · 09-21-2006, 11:52 PM

Nurse Campbell had only managed to pour half of the solution into the Slytherin's mouth when she heard a plea for help behind her. "What in the-" she said aloud but contained herself before she cursed. "That dribble should do her good. Make sure she keeps her head titled upwards. You take care of that Mr Branxton."

She zoomed toward the Ravenclaw table. "This is getting ridiculous. First day back is supposed to be a skive for me," she said whilst tilting Miranda's head up and pouring the rest of the solution. "You can be of help by making sure her head stays tilted upwards until she wakes." She placed the potion bottle into her apron and adjusted her hat, "Good day." She headed out

demented_death_eater · 09-22-2006, 12:03 AM

Robert listened to the matron and nodded at her directions, keeping Miranda's head tilted upwards. She looked so helpless lying in his arms and here he was, completely helpless and all he could do was keep her in this one position. "Miranda. . . wake up princess . . . please wake up," he whispered over and over, brushing her hair back with one hand. He had never seen her faint like this before and it was a bit unnerving.

Biochemkris · 09-22-2006, 12:08 AM

Doyle shifted away from Clara as the matron came. He took up a position behind her head when the matron turned her care back over to him, though. He was able to more comfortably keep her head elevated that way. He brushed a few stray hairs out of her face and glared at some gawking first years. "Move along, the bell is going to ring and you don't want to be late," he announced once again to the crowd.

Mad Eye Touz · 09-22-2006, 12:43 AM

Clara had to open her eyes to see... who was being so nice to her. She knew better than to believe Max was softly touching her face, and she knew Crys better to know that she'd be talking a mile a minute to her. Surprisingly, it was Doyle.

Clara the actress was back to work. She had the nastiest taste in her mouth.... and acted disoriented. Blinking, she wiped her mouth with her sleave and pretened to have a hard time sitting up. She looked at Doyle, then Crys, the back to Doyle. Her expression clearly read that she didn't 'know' what happend.

Biochemkris · 09-22-2006, 12:45 AM

"Hey, sit up slowly," he said as he saw her start to come to and try to sit. He shifted his weight so he could support her as he helped push her up to a sitting position. "How do you feel?"

demented_death_eater · 09-22-2006, 12:48 AM

Max looked at the scene before him one last time before hurrying out - Clara being the drama queen and Robert beside himself with a passed out Miranda cradled in his arms. And the one person he felt like hexing was standing there, oblivious to everything with her nose stuck up in the air . . . but Doyle did warn him not to say anything and so he didn't. He turned on his heel and walked away from the mess.

Mad Eye Touz · 09-22-2006, 01:32 AM

"Strange," Clara answered. "I don't know what came over me." Clara watched Max walk away. She owed him big time. She pulled her glasses off and pulled a Doyle, shining them. "And a little embarrassed."
