Curtis McLaggen's Plotter!

[Deleted]

I

nfo: Curtis has had a really unstable childhood and very little stability. He has a huge family but has always felt excluded from it. Going to live with his dad was one of the best things to happen, but even that wasn't a constant and he never felt like he truly belonged. Hogwarts has changed that and gave him the stability that he needs, and he couldn't be happier returning to the same bed, in the same dorm, with the same people, night after night. 

F

friends: Curtis isn't really used to the whole 'friends' ideal, and he's fairly shy around his peers. He tends to come across as being a bit of an oddball and he doesn't really help things by being as socially awkward as he is. He wants friends more than anything, he just doesn't know how to go about actually getting those friends. 

E

nemies: Curtis doesn't like the idea of having enemies, and he certainly doesn't go out of his way to engage in conflicts, but he knows and accepts that not everyone is going to like him. He mostly keeps to himself. He's shy and an oddball, and sometimes seen as being a bit of a weirdo, which leaves him vulnerable to bullying. 

L

overs: Curtis is a bit to young to really care about any of this stuff, but even now he's slightly terrified at the idea. He's seen his mother go through marriage after miserable marriage and never be happy. His oldest sister is only 23 and she's been married, divorced, and is now engaged again. She's going down the same route, and the very thought of such a rocky, unstable, heart-break life scared Curtis.

Bethany and Curtis

It might take a bit of time for Bethany and Curtis to be friends, but I think they could make it work (especially if he can handle a little sarcasm). If nothing else, she might try to take him under her wing and protect him from bullies.

Curtis & Dexter
They're so similar that I think it'd be a shame if we didn't get them to interact somehow! The whole age difference and house difference makes it pretty difficult, plus the fact that they're both painfully shy, but if we could work out a forced interaction they could seriously have a brotherly relationship. If Dex found out about Curtis's unstable family life he would absolutely try to be a friend to him - as much as Dex is capable of doing - and like a protective older brother kind of? The hard part is getting them to interact... Quidditch pitch is where Dex is probably most comfortable, or in the library, or something...

Bethany and Curtis
He'd appreciate knowing that there was someone who will stick up for him, because he's really not good at conflicts. Knowing there's someone who doesn't see him as just an oddball will really help, too.


Curtis & Dexter
I think the library would be a good, comfortable starting place. It's somewhere that Curtis spends quite a bit of his time, because if you can't be sociable you might as well get good grades, right? I think if they bumped into each other and talked a little bit there a few times they could build up to talking elsewhere, like maybe outside, and they'd be able to speak more freely out of the library where there's no risk of someone listening in around the corner.
