when you smile at the ground // abraxas' besties

[abraxas scorpius malfoy]

Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.

It would just be cruel to split up One Direction and so with Niall here, it's only fair to bring in his bandmates. As Niall is appearing as Abraxas Malfoy rather than himself, the other members of 1D will also need to disguise themselves as characters. In short, Abraxas needs his best friends and who better to play them than One Direction?

Rather than say that the names are completely up to you and thus make it difficult to explain the role of each character, I've assigned each of the play-bys to a canon character so that there is at least a surname to use rather than constantly referring to them by their face claim. Please note that you don't have to play them as that particular canon, you can create them as an original if you wish. The houses are quite flexible too but the majority will need to be in either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff with no more than one in Ravenclaw or Slytherin (and they'd have to be a nice Slytherin).

Dashiell Peakes (Liam Payne)
Peakes is probably Abraxas' best friend out of the whole group. As much as he loves his other friends, he shares a dormitory with Peakes and so they tend to spend more time together. The two of them first met in Diagon Alley before meeting again on the Hogwarts Express. Currently being requested outside of the forum as Abraxas' eventual boyfriend.

Loki Derrick (Louis Tomlinson)
Derrick comes in a close second among Abraxas' friends. The two of them first met on the Hogwarts express when Peakes and Malfoy stumbled into his carriage, thinking it to be empty and instead finding a new friend. His name can be changed if you wish, I've just left it as the previous player of Louis had it. I have the application saved on my computer if you'd like to use it for inspiration.

Maximillian Longbottom (Harry Styles)
Longbottom and Derrick were friends before Hogwarts and so it was through Derrick that he was introduced to Abraxas. Davies had agreed to share a carriage with him on the way to Hogwarts in their first year and he befriended Malfoy and Peakes when he found they'd also joined the carriage. As a fifth year Hufflepuff, he shares a dormitory with Davies.

Alfred Davies (Zayn Malik)
Davies was the last of the boys to join the group and it was only really be chance. During a Charms lesson that required being in groups of five, the others had formed a four. As the only person left without a team, Davies was invited into theirs and has stayed ever since. As a fifth year Hufflepuff, he would also share a dormitory with Longbottom. His name can be changed if you wish, I've just left it as the previous player of Zayn had it. I have the application saved on my computer if you'd like to use it for inspiration.

Hey i'd love to take Louis's character but i was wondering if i could change him into a slytherin (and yes he'll be a nice one) and change his last name from davies to derrick as davies is related to Raychel and i dont wanna play cousins, or at least try not to anyways.

[abraxas scorpius malfoy]

Awesome! Yup, changing him to Slytherin should be fine, seeing as you've promised he'll be nice.

[halleewood]

yay i shall get him up soon thanks

[lokiderrick]

here he is

In regards to Zayn's character, would you (Cait) like him to be in Hufflepuff so as to keep Max's dormitory friend or would you be happy to leave him in Ravenclaw? It could always be arranged so that Derrick replaced Goldstein instead of Davies and simply move Zayn into Louis' old place as Davies' play-by? If that makes any sense. :L

[maximilian eric longbottom]

i don't mind either way, so it's up to you, or if you don't want to choose, i'd say go with whatever's the easiest. i'm happy enough with either situation. (:
