Plot with Harry!

about

Everybody knows Harry. He's the Boy-Who-Lived, after all, and saviour of the Wizarding World - it's kind of impossible to not know who he is. He's also now playing professional Quidditch and recently made it onto the reserve national team, so he's still very much in the public eye. He did try Auror training, but dropped out three months in when he realised he was done chasing bad guys and wanted to live a life just for him for once. He tried out for a couple of teams, but went with the Catapults because the manager reminded him of his old Quidditch captains and didn't let his name have any impact on his try-out. He's been with them for five years now, and has no plans of going anywhere. 

He's a very damaged young man who's still working though 90% of his trauma - and oh boy, is there a lot to get through. He still has nightmares and he suffers with pretty severe depression; to that end he still lives with Hermione (and maybe Ron?) because he literally cannot function independently. He winds up holed up in the flat for days on end and he does actually need human interaction from time to time. 

Despite his trauma and depression though, Harry's a bright young man who's learning to be better. He's sassy and intelligent and far too reckless for his own good; he rushes into things headlong and it's only by virtue of the fact that Hermione's his best friend that he's survived this long, in all honesty. He's got a temper on him, part borne of suffering from c-ptsd since childhood, part genetic, but he's learned to control it over the years. He still has no great love for authority figures but he's loyal as anything and incredibly loving and affectionate to the right people. 

friends

Harry's the absolute worst at making friends because he never really got the chance to properly develop any social skills as a child. Having A Friend after meeting Ron was enough for him at 11 - which is frankly just sad - but over the years he's wound up with a decent circle of people, most of whom he's collected entirely by accident. He's pretty cool with his teammates, both the Catapults and the English team so now he's got quite the circle of drinking buddies. He's an incredibly loyal friend but he doesn't forgive easily when he's hurt and can hold quite the grudge, so please don't let him down! 

enemies

Harry has not let go of childhood grudges. He still hates The Prophet and Rita Skeeter and 90% of the Ministry - or at least, the people there when he was a teenager. He's still not on good terms with the Malfoys either, but he keeps his distance from them, and he's got no real fondness for Slytherins. He's really quick to consider them enemies and once he's taken a disliking to someone it doesn't change, but I'd really like to see him proved wrong about someone! 

lovers

Harry is so bi it actually hurts my soul but he's completely oblivious to 90% of the world around him, including his own romantic feelings. He's started having a couple of flings here and there in the last couple of years, but they've been super discreet and on the down-low, mostly with people who aren't British - and who he's probably met through Quidditch. He's got a thing for Hermione and has since forever but he's repressed the hell out of that and hasn't even acknowledged that there's feelings that aren't platonic there - but that's probably going to change!  

?

So Harry and Amelia were in the same house and on the same Quidditch team at Hogwarts (she's a tad older). She shared the Keeper position with Wood during her few years there while also playing professionally at the same time. She is still on the NY Wolves and US National team to this day. These two have probably crossed paths a bit since school both through Quidditch but also because she's close with Molly, Arthur, and the Weasley twin.

While in school Amelia was honestly too wrapped up in her love of the game to notice any of the insanity around her that is until the Battle of Hogwarts where she joined Wood to fight. Kind of a rude awakening for her. These days Amelia is excelling professionally but spiraling in her personal life. Wood has become an alcoholic, they're on again off again, and he can be violent.

As a teenager she probably gave Harry a hard time and didn't kiss his arse. I think as tough as she was/is on him she still is his friend and it's probably done out of love. I kick you while you're down because you need to learn to get up. That sort of thing. If that's ok?

Alicia Spinnet - So, these two know each other from Gryffindor Quidditch Team, though I imagine that they would have been relatively friendly outside of that. She's probably teased him in the past, especially about Cho / Ginny because she's a pain and that's what teammates do. They could totally be sassy at each other because that's just who she is. That said, they've probably drifted a fair bit, especially since her injury and general withdrawal from people.
