Name: Edward Rostron

Placement: Counting Stars on the Ceiling/Co-workers
Backstory:

"The ability of Miss Lang cannot be challenged in school records, or her role as Prefect and then Head Girl. Her work at school set an example for all. That's fact, as well as high praise and not intended as flattery, yet, that would be selling the person far short. Despite her assertive and gregarious nature; we can't forget that there is a human being beneath that has survived some very serious challenges at the school and now as an Auror.

While I wouldn't say we are exactly close, I have always tried to extend a hand to the person that is Chase Lang. It's not just her ability that makes her valuable, but her principles and her vulnerability that make her truly unique. I value my friendship with her both as a mentor and as a fellow traveler on the magical journey we know as life."

Backstory:
Like most boys at school, I had a crush on Chase for a short while. Not that it mattered since at that time talking to any girl seemed terrifying. She was good competition on the pitch, too. Now I see her here and there at Diagon Alley and similar places. Lately I have been staying away from those places.

Placement: The very thing, this charming man
Backstory:

"I have to say that it was a bit of a surprise running into miss Head Girl Lang down in the kitchens in the middle of the night during my 6th year. She didn't quite strike me as the type to do that sort of thing being Head Girl and what not, but you can't blame someone with a taste for food. From there, I'd like to say that Chase and I became very good friends. We kept in touch after she graduated and I wasn't all that surprised to hear that she had become and Auror so fast - it was Chase after all.

We lost touch for a while when I got wrapped up in the contest, but when I heard that she was hospitalized, I made sure to visit with some of the honey castella cakes that she liked so much even if it was a bit difficult to get it past some of the St. Mungo's staff. It actually became a bit of habit, sneaking her in food and stuff; that hospital food is horrible stuff no matter where you go. She drops by the pub whenever she can and I make sure to give her a discount on the drinks. You can't expect me to give them to her on the house, do you?"

Backstory:

"I remember Chase from quite a different perspective than most of her friends, as I was a few years ahead of her in school at Hogwarts. But there was no doubt about it, she was someone to watch, and not just for her legs, haha! (She is a deucedly good dancer, though, I must say). Where was I? Yes, her legs, no no! She is definitely an top flight Auror at such a young age. Skilled in tracking and magics, with her eagle animagus making her even more versatile. Although I must say she has serious flaw: She puts up with me! Now as to how we know each other: Well technically we're distantly related, but most wizards are so that's not really important. No actually we're just good friends, and have kept in touch because my father was Headmaster for a part of her school career. We've had occasion to meet at reunions and so forth. I even had the honor of escorting her to a night at the ballet to see one of her school chums dance. Smashing girl, eh? But really, just friends."

Placement:the very thing | good friends, occasional dinner parties
Backstory:

"Chase Lang and I go back a long way. I think it was my First Year at Hogwarts when I was saved from the inevitable bullies of Slytherin by a very assertive Second Year old who was actually leading some much older students around with her like followers. (Which they somewhat were) Although we've never dated, we've grown closer over the years, (although she's a wildly attractive woman) and she's a major reason why I met, and am still with Aurelia. I've thanked her many times for that, but I'll take a moment, and thank her again. In our adult lives, we've shared a few tense moments in some cooperative Ministry case or other when she's needed help. Outside of work, we enjoy the social whirl. Matter of fact, I owe her an RSVP for Aurelia and I right now."

Name: Aurelia Murdir
Age, Occupation: 23, St. Mungo Healer
Placement: life effect
Backstory: "Chase and I first met many many moons ago when there were a few unruly Slytherin boys making a mock of me and openly harassing me. She whipped out that wand and her prefect badge and shoo'd the boys away. From then, I had such a fondness for her; and it's a friendship that I've let spill over into a form of kinship. She's like an older sister to me, and very much my own little family - as I lack a flesh and blood family. I'm the only one allowed to tend her wounds when she finds herself at St. Mungo. I love her very dearly!"

Backstory:

"While I can't claim close friendship with Chase Lang, I do admire what she's been able to do. Every time I meet Chase Lang in a meeting or on the street, she's got some exciting project going on. She never does slow down for a minute! I was really too young to appreciate what she did for the girls at school, but when I think back on it now, she was very much a role model for me, and for many others. She was also kind enough to put in a good word for me now and again. Sometime, when she needs s help, I'd be willing to return the favor. We're not close, but the female kinship I feel for her in a man's world is a strong bond."

Placement: reunion, your ex-lover is dead
Backstory:

"Oh, wow... Chase and I have known each other since pretty much my first day at Hogwarts. She kind of helped me out a lot in the first few weeks and I got lost quite often. But we were in the same house and we played on the Quidditch team together so we were pretty damn close. We dated a while back - if you could even call holding hands and Hogsmeade trips dating. She was the first girl that I asked out, but we were both too shy and unsure to really have anything beyond that. So our 'break-up' was mutual and very friendly and we remained friends for a while. We haven't seen each other in ages and its kind of weird. But we're both busy, so it can't really be helped."

"Cor, Chase and I have been close since that first fateful train ride so long ago. We've always been in sync - something about the way our brains work - to the point where whole sentences can be communicated in single looks. It may sound like some love affair just waiting to happen, but we tried that once. The problem? We understood each other too well for the politics of romance to be simple enough. So it's a love of sympathetic minds, not hearts. We're happier this way, though. She helps me realize whatever bravado I have left, and I know I'll always have someone to fall back on when I've made a dragon's dinner of things. In return, I level out the debates that run through her head near-constantly, and keep her from strangling co-workers out of frustration. We've got a good thing going. I'm grateful - truly."

Placement: Counting Stars on the Ceiling, The Vanishing, Elevator Love Letter, Your Ex-Lover is Dead.
Backstory: "As birds go, Lang is a pretty particular one. Besides the obvious- that she's bloody gorgeous- she's got something else about her too. She's tough, you know? She held up through training better than some of the guys twice her size. And so yeah, sometimes maybe I push her a little too far. She can take it. In school she was a swotty thing, not really my type if you know what I mean, but those Hogwarts Quidditch victory parties can get pretty rowdy and before you could say 'Merlin's pants', we were snogging in the Transfiguration classroom. And under the Quidditch stands. And briefly behind that creepy house elf memorial statue on the third floor. It didn't last long- it never does- and I was all too happy to be cut loose at the time. But it's like she gets under my skin, right, and she just sits there at her desk, obviously bored out of her bloody mind, just needing a nice distraction and well, who better than me to volunteer? Seriously though, Lang is great."

Backstory:

"Ah, Chaaaaase, now that's a can of worms. I thought we were in love back in school, but what does a teenager know of love? What we felt was pretty strong, all fire and boiling, threatening to burn us both alive, but love isn't supposed to be destructive, is it? I left, and yeah, that's definitely my fault. I admit it. When we graduated, Connor offered to have me go to the States for Auror training, with him as my mentor. Yeah, I took him up on it, but it was after Chase and I exploded yet again. I don't know, I guess it was just enough by that point. I had to get out, or we were just going to drive each other insane, and I was afraid that if we weren't careful, we'd start to hate each other. Better to remember the good things.

"So, I disappeared to America and got into all sorts of trouble. Connor's a bad influence, take it from me, so I had plenty of options where women were concerned, but I guess when you have Chase's kind of fire to compare to, nothing else is really going to cut it, right? Anyway, I tried to tell myself all those years that we were both over it, and even if I wasn't, she had to be. Who was I to think that she'd still be caught up on me? Well, running into each other again after all this time just went to show how wrong I was. It was instantaneous and the fire only built up from there. I think I'm like gasoline to her, but we're both a little older and wiser this time, so we might actually stand a chance.

"Regardless of the outcome, I don't think I can leave again. That's the plan, to leave after the wedding and go back to doing whatever catches my interest. Probably the Sahara, but the thought of walking away again brings this cold, sinking feeling along with it. As scary as it is, I think I might finally know what love is. We'll just have to see if it's destructive, after all."

"During school I very vaguely knew Chase. She and Liam were friends and even sort of dated in our earlier years at Hogwarts, so I really only ever knew her through Liam and later Ike, because they were pretty close. She was always good to me, and we spoke on occasion. She always seemed like she had a little too much on her plate, you know? Which isn't necessarily fair. Since school, I don’t really see her at all, unless she happens to be in Diagon Alley at the same time as me. But even then it’s usually very quick exchanges of ‘how are you?’ and then we’re on our way again. We’re also kinda-sorta related, which I only learned recently when I saw my mum’s parents last month. Her grandfather’s sister, married my grandfather’s brother… Not a blood relation or anything, but interesting.'

Let's just say that Chase and eye never really saw eye-to-eye as students. She was a year ahead of me and always seemed to have a bug up her arse about everything. I know now that I was out of line 80% of the time. Either way we seemed to have left the school with a bad taste for each other. Aiden pointed out that my extreme dislike for the witch came when I was trying to date Liam and Chase stole him away. Now I know it's childish, but I always had a bit of jealousy toward the woman. Now, I am quite content with my job and how my life is going. I am not about to try to start a new friendship, but I always stay appropriate and professional while I'm around her. Otherwise, I never see the woman, and trust me... there are no tears shed over that.

"Ugh! Chase Lang…

We hated each other, even as first-years. She was the Golden Girl, always top of the class, self-proclaimed queen of the world. The Little-Miss-Perfect act got old real fast. She just always rubbed me the wrong way. Our families didn’t really even get along, so that certainly didn’t help things. Yes, I’ll admit, I was jealous when she got Head Girl, but at the same time I almost expected it by then. We haven’t seen each other in quite a long time, and to be honest, I’m glad of it."

"Chase Lang...Aurelia is forever going on and on about her even from when we were at school. That's not to say that I hadn't heard about her before I met Auri - oh no, Tamora had plenty to say about the Head Girl as well. I am a bit ashmaed to admit that I may have contributed some of that gossip fodder around school, but it was no harm done really; just more of my foolish mistakes as a younger girl. She seems alright, especially if Aurelia worries over her. I remember glimpsing her when she arrived at St. Mungo's for a short spell and I have spoken to her sometimes, and she seems prone to trouble or at least poking her nose into it. Like I said, I don't have any problems with her though - it's not like she's ever done anything to me."

"Ohmy, ohmy, Chase Lang. Just the name -- Chastity -- (I saw it on her school records, honest) was enough to inspire me to write long poems and odes. Fortunately, my friends talked me out of leaving them where she could find them. They were terrible anyhow. I'm sure I was simply an annoyance in my school days. But those times are long past, and I grew to understand that we're all God's creatures, and even Chase Lang isn't perfect. Well, on the inside, maybe. I never see her any more, though sometimes I hear from Hugh about her. I think she bought a rug from our store once. I hope she's doing well at her job in the Ministry. She certainly was smart enough."
