"I remember Tamora mostly as the ill-tempered older beauty from school who was the on-again, off-again girlfriend of my nemesis, Phillip Taggart. She had troubles with her spellwork, too, and no one really knew that I tutored her a little to help her out. As such, I think she held a grudging respect for my magical abilities. Fast forward a few years, and she's working as a Hitwitch/Enforcer for the Ministry. I don't see her that much, although she did help on security with one operation we had in Turkey. She's a housemate of some kind of Jake, so while we're still not friends, she's much more in proximity. I really don't think she's right for Jake, but I guess she has qualities I don't see."

"Who?

Oh right, her. What's there to say, really? Besides that she's a talentless slag with absolutely no class. Don't get me wrong; I haven't spoken to her since our Hogwarts days, as my career keeps me plenty busy, so it's not often that I have such a fresh opinion of an old classmate, but she really was quite nasty. She was constantly preening and acting an utter fool, hoping to catch the eye of some Slytherin pureblood and fancying herself a 'queen bee' of sorts I imagine, and so preoccupied with how her hair was and such. Just thinking about how desparate it all seemed bores me to tears, even now. Grandma Juidah always had a good laugh about the Greys, though I suppose I do pity her on some level - wanting so desperately to be accepted by purebloods (like Taggart) and yet being so firmly entrenched in the nouveau-riche must be quite painful.

Last I heard she was some sort of hit witch or another, cleaning up messes and the like, and though our Hogwarts days are firmly behind us, she's someone whose existence I'd frankly like to forget."

Tamora, what can I say about her. Well, a lot, actually. we were in the same year and had a lot of classes together. Maybe it was her wit and beauty, but when I was younger, I had a pretty good crush on her. Of course, being the simple idiot I am...was...am, I asked her out. That was disastrous. It only lasted about two months and I was done with her. In fact, I rarely interacted with her until she decided it was a good idea to snog me while I was trying to study in an empty classroom. That was awkward and, sadly, I enjoyed it. Luckily over the next two years or so I was with Angelina. Once we broke up I went through a wild stage that lasted a few months and there were multiple run-ins with alcohol, clubbing and Tamora ending up in my bed.
Then I got Maggie and settled down completely. She dropped off my radar until I saw her one afternoon looking completely a mess. I found out the cause and instinctively got mad about it. Mainly because I hate Taggart and I always seem to have a soft spot for women who I spent a lot of time with. I more or less forced her to move in with me after going to her house and packing her things. I don't like to yell or be forceful with people, but that seemed to be the only thing that worked.
Three months later she has improved a lot and I think she has a soft spot for my dear Marguerite. Seeing her now is so different from what I knew her as. No more heavy make up, no lingering scent of tobacco, no skank clothing. She's human and she looks more beautiful than I thought possible. It's a bad thing because up until a week ago we were sharing a bed and I cannot deny the temptation was there. She is still the devil though and nags worse than my cousins ever did to Alan. She does housework and rearranges all the rooms when she gets bored. I'm assuming this is what it feels like to have a really annoying housewife that you're tied to. Maybe it's not that bad, but she gets me SO mad.
Regardless, I just hope that some day she will realize that I am doing this for her since I know I will get nothing in return.

"I don't try to interact with Tamora if I don't have to. She's polite to Hugh, but she doesn't exactly get along with Chase. And while our school days are behind us, Chase is family to me. I don't hold any personal grudges for Tamora; but I'm sure she isn't exactly fond of me.. I won't go out of my way to make her feel uncomfortable, but she isn't someone I'd stop on the streets of London and have tea with.. Besides, I'm going to be biased, I hear through the grapevine how she treats Jake, and I love him like an awkward brother, so I think that's pretty lousy.."

"Okay, so... Tamora and I definitely did not get along while we were in school. She liked to pick on me and she was always pretty nasty. Besides, I don't think she liked it that I kind of got along with Taggart. Unfortunately I see her a little bit more now than I'd like. She hasn't been too horrible to me, but that's probably because if she said something mean Jake would have her head... I want to hope that she can change, but I'm a little reluctant to just make friends, you know?"

"I only remember Tamora because her family was wealthy and influential at the school; but she threw her little weight around like she owned the place. I had graduated by the time she really started to become the 'bad girl' of the Slytherin bunch, but I've heard the stories. The stories haven't changed much since, and despite the efforts of her friends, I don't think she'll ever amount to much. I just don't give her much thought, really."

we need a little pretty cause this country's insane, obessively opposed to the typical & and is your punchline just a joke (just slightly)

"I avoided interacting with Tamora during my earlier years until I shed all that horrid baby fat. I was able to keep a pretty low profile surprisingly enough in the Slytherin common room; everyone was too busy with themselves or other people to pay attention to me - something I was more content about back then. Even back then, not a lot of people had good things to say about Tamora, although everyone said those things under hushed breathes. No one wanted to get on her bad side. Despite all that, I always thought that she had spunk and as soon as I got to know her better I was right.Her way with words was practically as deadly as mine, something which I found greatly amusing. During 3rd year, I was quickly brought into that whole group there and spent the majority of my time with them. Believe me, I had more than enough fun and foolish actions than I ever need to do again in my life. I never got into things that were too over my head though. Yeah, I suppose she could get on my nerves every once in a blue moon especially back then and how she was, but I'm sure I did the same to her.

When we were older, we stayed in touch and I did grace some clubs with her, always making sure to keep an eye out for her since she tended to throw herselves into those types of situations quite...uhm, what's the word for it? Enthusiastically. I was there to help patch her up though when she was down, and while still to this day not very many of my friends are fans of hers, I consider her a friend."

"I know the Grey family, and Tamora slightly, mostly from my tenure in History of Magic. She was later a Prefect, but as Headmaster, I mostly left that interaction to my Deputy Headmaster. As I remember, she's a talented witch from a troubled family who I don't think ever really found out what she wanted to do. Some potential there. Nowadays she works as an Enforcer, I think. Probably a good place for her."

let’s get lost, you can take me home ;; crush

"The Greys have been customers of ours, and I can remember the first time Tamora came into our shop. She was not much older than I was, maybe 12 or so. But I had this terrible crush on her from the start, and it didn't get any better in school. She was in Slytherin, and she hated the Gryffindors, so I never really got close to talk to her. Well, that and I wasn't good at talking anyway. No-oh. I saw her all dressed up at a club and she looked wonderful. I think she's hanging around with Quidditch stars now. But I remember her. I don't remember her even being mean to me, but then I guess she probably never spoke much to me at all."
