Sign up here to be suited.

Sign up here to charm a lovely magical bachelor or bachelorette.

So, do we sign up under each or do we have to pick between being a suitor or a bachelor/bachelorette?

You can do both!

Ladies and gents, I welcome you to the first dating game - an exciting round for certain. Our bachelorette, Sara of Slytherin (slytherati), is one the suitors ought to be panting for! At twenty-three, she has managed to evade all offers for her fine pure hand. She's a catch, but she's hard to catch - this witch knows what she wants, and she gets it. No substitute accepted. Like many a witch, she enjoys long walks on the beach, but don't spill any sand on her. You will not like the results.

Let us meet our suitors.

The first darling suitor has fierce green hair topping his travel-size bod. He enjoys 'science fiction and fantasy' - whatever that muggle thing is. By day he role plays (and eats marshmellows), fixing the costumes at night. You know he'll be a fun roll in the hay. Coffee, chocolate, movies, and reading are his interests, while he dislikes smoking, drinking, and that silly muggle invention 'reality tv.' The baggy jeans and sarcastic shirt are not very impressive, but let us not find out if he can use that pocket knife.

The second suitor is no man at all. This intelligent witch has hair that will blow you away. She will try new things (time to get creative) and swings both ways. And my dear bachelorette, she really does like long walks on the beach. Her jeans and shirt are pleasantly accessorized, yet I doubt you would notice - her hair is her main accessory.

The last suitor may be pint sized, but he more than makes up for it in personality. He is the life of the party, class clown, and practical joker, but whatever you call him, you can be sure you're always in for a laugh whenever he's around. And he stands out - business punk casual. I am not sure how he pulls that off, but if you do not choose him, I may just take him off into a corner myself.

Now, the questions and answers.

If you could do anything imaginable as your profession, what would you choose?
Suitor 1: I would choose to be philosopher who writes history books, and I would travel all around Middle Earth and record everything I saw.

Suitor 2: Hard question! I think I'd like to be an expert of some kind, having already earned respect from people in whatever field or circles I run in, and get to rub elbows with some really incredible and intelligent people.

Suitor 3: Normally, I would say thatI would like to be a rockstar, but at the moment, I think I would much rather act in movies. It would be an interesting experience, and even though I'd probably be typecast in certain... roles, I think I'd be able to get around that eventually.

What do you think is most important: fame, money, friendship, or charity?
Suitor 1: I would have to say friendship. For one thing, you can't get anywhere worthwhile without friends. Friends can also help you get ahead in life, so really, if you have the right friendships, then you can achieve fame, money and give charity. :]

Suitor 2: In order: friendship, money, charity, and fame. Friendship is what keeps me going; real friends are there for you in good times and bad, no matter what happens with the other three. Money is nice, but I just want enough to be comfortable and indulge myself as often as I want occasionally. And charity vs. fame - well, I don't really like either of them. Charity involves too much pity, and I'd have too much pride ever to accept it, so it's hard for me to give it; and fame - well, the spotlight can make you crazy, let's just put it that way.

Suitor 3: All certainly have their uses... ;) Nah, I'd say friendship is probably the most important thing in the world to me. If I do't have my friends, I don't have anything. Fame is nothing if my friends aren't there to share the fun with me; money means nothing if I don't have friends who can help me spend it; charity is important, but it still doesn't mean as much if I can't extend it towards my friends when they need it. And I don't care if that's cliche, it's the truth. =)

Which is better, a volatile relationship full of ups and downs, or a boring but stable one?
Suitor 1: I would choose a stable relationship. Full of ups and downs sounds very tiring, and if you plan on having any kind of functional life outside of your relationship, then you need some stability and structure. And besides, who wants to come home to someone who's constantly frazzled and argumentative?

Suitor 2: Having had plenty of boring and stable relationships, I have to go with the first. Not that I'm a wild and crazy person, but if I don't last long in boring situations, relationships included. There has to be SOME excitement and unpredictability!

Suitor 3: PFFT. Volatile. I can't stand a boring relationship. I don't have to be fighting with my SO all the time, definitely not, but I'm definitely a hotheaded, fun loving kind of guy, and if a relationship can't keep me on my toes and interested, then... I probably won't stick around.

It is time for our bachelorette to decide! Just whom does she want to have a date with?

Oh dear, this is a tough decision! I'm the sort of girl who wants a volatile relationship full of conflicts but plenty of understanding, so I think I have to say good bye to Suitor 1. I think I'm going to have to go with Suitor 2, I love someone who exercises some expertise!

My dear gentlemen, it appears this witch is not the right one for either of you. Yet do not be sad - perhaps you are the right fit for one of our later bachelors or bachelorettes. Their identities shall remain anonymous.

However, the witch you have selected is none other than your dear housemate Annalisa (hecticity). You two lovely witches shall be on a 6 day 5 night extravaganza to Avalon, the legendary island off the coast of England once ruled by Morgan le Fay. There are some misty beaches for you to wander and a house elf tended castle to stay in at the end of the night.

Have a wonderful time ladies!

Ladies and gents, I welcome you to our second dating game. Our bachelorette, Maaike of Ravenclaw (maaiker) is not one the oldest families may go for - she is a half-blood. Do not worry about me, my friends, I am wearing gloves. Yet she may arouse interest for some, being from the Netherlands, a recent graduate of Zwijnstein, Dutch school for wizardry with honors in astronomy and divination. She is an aspiring artist and fashion designer - so you better dress snappy.

Let us meet our suitors.

Our first suitor is a witch who comes from a strong Celtic and Eastern European background. Long pointy objects fascinate her, and she is a queen of lockpicking. Yet this witch has a soft side as well, for long walks on the beach are to be had with her. And just look at her - beautiful. The modern clothes fit this era, yet they do not forget our roots and are cut from only the finest clothe.

Our second suitor will soon be leaving his institute with a higher degree in arithmancy. He loves dark chocolate and margaritas. Cooking is not his specialty, but he makes up for it by trying to keep in shape. An American fellow, he dresses LA casual with a porteno flair, though you can get him in a tux if you like.

Our last suitor is also American - but a witch and from upstate New York. She may be an artistic match - drawing and acting. But she also loves travel and spontaneous activities. She is up for any adventure. While she is usually dressed simply - a shirt and trousers - she can occasionally be found in a corset and skirt.

Now, the questions and answers.

What would your ideal job be?
Suitor 1: I think my ideal job would be as a Seer, I love divination, maybe replace Trelawney, her methods of teaching need work.

Suitor 2: My dream job would be the Head Curse Breaker at Gringotts.

Suitor 3: My ideal job would be an actress for muggle movies. Prefferably the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror ones.

What would you do with a million galleons?
Suitor 1: I would buy really expensive clothes, throw a party for my friends, and invest the rest I think. You can never have too much squirreled away, but that doesn't mean you have to be overly frugal either.

Suitor 2: I would invest most of it so as to easily live off the interest, but use the rest to go on an amazing tour of the Wizarding world.

Suitor 3: I'd buy a castle someone in England or Scotland, then go on a shopping spree.

Had you been born a squib, would you have stayed in the wizarding world or try to adapt to the muggle world?
Suitor 1: I don't know what I would have done. Probably tried to stay in the wizarding world, but if I got tossed out, I would learn to adapt.

Suitor 2: Muggle world for sure; they would accept me for who I was whereas I would always be at a VERY low rung in the Wizarding world.

Suitor 3: I would want to be a part of both. Muggle life can get dull at times.

It is time for our bachelorette to decide! Just whom does she want to have a date with?

It was a very difficult choice indeed! Overall I think suitor 1 and I match best!

My apologies, suitors 2 and 3, but this is just not the witch for you. Eastern allure blows the competition away.

And the lovely witch you chose is none other than Calypso of Slytherin (stolenfairytale), a beautiful witch. The two of you shall enjoy a 5 day 4 night delicious vacation in Dijon, France, near Beauxbatons in the South of the Country. A cottage just out of the way can supply for all your needs, if you never make it out too far, but there is plenty for you to do.

Have a smashing time.

Ladies and gents, I welcome you to our third dating game. Our bachelorette, Ari of Slytherin (asphyxiette) has blood the house may prefer to overlook - she is only half. But you could not tell looking at her. She is from a small village and is looking for some adventure!
Besides enjoying dancing like a fool in public, she embraces her muggle half: this witch engages the television in conversation and brags about having more songs on her 'iTunes'.

Let us meet our suitors.

Our first lovely suitor is a stunning witch whose intelligence could stop you dead in your tracks. This bisexual witch is always trying new things - especially on the beach. She may wear the pants, but she knows her bling.

Our second suitor is a fellow half-blood. She is like a 'cut scene' - wonderful at first, but then she never shuts up. I cannot say I understand; perhaps it is a half-blood thing. This witch is a Southern girl - Southern raised and bred. As befits a half-blood, she works as well as attending school. This witch also works on theatre and never likes to get caught bored or without anything to do. But she is no fashion diva - preferring to wear what is comfortable.

Our last suitor is a witch as well, but she can be your gentleman. With long blond hair and a petite form, you may take her to be a pampered lady, but she enjoys doing the pampering. And my oh my that corset does look striking.

Now, the questions and answers.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, what colour socks was the apple wearing?
Suitor 1: Green, because green is the color to wear in the woods. Helps you blend in. Also, it's the color of the best house in Hogwarts.

Suitor 2: I'm not entirely sure, but hopefully something green or cyan (assuming this is a delicious red apple.) Complements, you know? But if they're socks from Hot Topic or those spa socks infused with, like...lavender or something, you can't really go wrong no matter the color. As long as they're awesome socks, or regular socks with holes in them. Shows dedication, you know.

Suitor 3: The apple was wearing plaid socks as we're obviously discussing a very lonely apple.

What would the world be like without hypothetical questions?
Suitor 1: Probably a lot more straightforward and logical, less philosophical. XP

Suitor 2: Like a week that's only Mondays; only ice creams, never sundaes...perhaps like a circle with no center or a door marked "Do not enter"?

Suitor 3: Rather like a dog chasing its tail over and over.

What is your favourite brand of pen?
Suitor 1: I'm still really in love with those sparkly gel pens I've had since I was in, like, 6th grade. I don't know what brand they are, though.

Suitor 2: Whichever brand of white-out pen I'm using at the moment. I like writing lyrics and quotes on my bag. Or people.

Suitor 3: Cross fountain pen.

It is time for our bachelorette to decide! Just whom does she want to have a date with?

Edited 2009-06-27 03:13 am (UTC)

Two lovely ladies were rejected, yet perhaps others shall be won over. Never give up hope.

The woman you have selected is Kelley of Gryffindor (corky_dorky), a lively witch of similar breeding - a right match. I hope your wands are on the ready, for your adventure date in Transylvania! Watch your back for vampires. If they are tasteless, they may want your blood.

Have a exciting time.

Could you please post this under the proper thread, for organization? Thanks.

Ladies and gents, I welcome you to our fourth dating game. Our bachelorette, Kelley of Gryffindor (corky_dorky) had blood that would not pass at Durmstrang in my day - half. What was her magical parent thinking? Given she is a Gryffindor, perhaps nothing. Yet, despite her background, she seems to have the right ideals at heart, for this nineteen year old Southern witch is a proudly active member of the Young Death Eaters Club. Or at least, if she feels inspired (anyone have hot blood around?). She is as many a Gryffindor - quiet until she wants something, and at that point there is no logic - only "want. take. have." Do you want her to have that attitude toward you? Three of our suitors do!

Let us meet our suitors.

Our first lovely suitor is a witch of fitting blood background for our bachelorette, and she is a crazy thing - living all over the place in everything. She can be a bit shy but is generally friendly. Do not mistake her for one to take abuse - you anger her, and she will kill you, in writing. Her dress is one of a kind - green polka dots.

Our second suitor is a pureblood fellow willing to give this witch a chance. He's the right size to hit the road. And his fashion references culture on a regular basis - will you catch the humor? His flaws are few when it comes to habits, and you better not have them either. But he will enjoy a dip into chocolate.

Our last suitor is a witch related to gypsies. Her relatives say she needs to find a pair. Only give her something sharp if you trust her. She can be your adventure - leave no vault unopened. And relax on the beach after in beautifully crafted clothes.

Now, the questions and answers.

What is your opinion on people who routinely wear costumes?
Suitor 1: I think they're having much more fun than the rest of us.

Suitor 2: I think we should be friends. Since I'm one of those people. We would make awesome and be wintastic.

Suitor 3: Well, it would depend on the costume. I have a slight victorian flair myself, (proper upbringing and finishing school do that), and I might find it interesting, so long as we're not talking something ludicrous like a clown or a mime.

If you had to choose between knowing everything about something normal/you didn't really care about (thus investing no effort or desire to know it, but having the knowledge) and knowing absolutely nothing about something strange/interesting only to you (wanting to have the knowledge, but having to put serious work and research behind it), which would you choose?
Suitor 1: The second one. If I wanted the knowledge bad enough I'd work for it, and if not I could just sit back and marvel at its awesomeness.

Suitor 2: I'd choose to be ignorant to something I was truly interested about. Chances are I'll research it and such, and thus learn about it. If it's something I truly want to know about, then it's worth the effort. And then I can impress everyone with my knowledge. :>

Suitor 3: I'd rather know about the interesting/strange thing, to me. I'd want to try to figure out some way to make a living off of my odd knowledge. The Lovegoods do it, after all, and you never kno where the next development or breakthrough will come from

It's time for Quidditch. Where are you?
Suitor 1: Cheering from the sidelines, probably plotting to seduce one of the players after the game.

Suitor 2: In my room reading. I dislike sports. I imagine that after watching one or two games, I get bored with the same thing over and over. I'm not much for social gatherings at all.

Suitor 3: I'm probably in the stands, cheering, because my team is full. But I think I'd like to be a beater, good defense, and you get a bat. Good for venting frustrations on black balls after unfair calls.

It is time for our bachelorette to decide! Just whom does she want to have a date with?

Hm...I actually struggled quite a bit between one and two, but I'm going to go with Suitor number 2. Really, numero uno - you don't know I play Quidditch; bad form to bring up seducing players when I could be sitting in the stands right next to you. But I do get number two's answer: if I'm not playing the sport, you won't find me watching it. It's boring to not have the in-the-game thrill.

Suitor number two, if you'll please, Mr. Grindelwald. Unless you're frightened that you'll break a nail doing a large, sweeping introductory gesture? I know how you purebloods are. :|

Ladies - stand aside, we have our first, gasp, heterosexual date. But do not be put off. It was his answers that reached into her heart and swept her away. I wish you luck in other games.

This half-blood Gryffindor made a smart choice. Uniting with a pureblood feller is a sure way of advancement. And this one is none other than Drake of Slytherin (drakiecakie), a better match than she may have hoped for otherwise. We will see how well this pureblood can blend with muggle society. The pair shall be going on a 6 night 5 day visit to Toyohashi, Japan, where many a muggle live. Yet the two shall have premier tickets to see the Toyohashi Tengu. Will our bachelorette be able to interest her date in the game? If the home team loses, perhaps he can enjoy the broom bonfire.

Have a lovely time.

Ladies and gents, I welcome you to our fifth dating game. Our bachelorette, Anna of Ravenclaw (anna_bm) is not one I would date, even were she a man. She comes from a common background of ilk. She claims to be open-minded about gender, how she thinks we of better blood ought to be. We shall see if she honors that! She really ought to appreciate homosexuality more, given she writes homoerotic stories with witty banter. I wonder if she has ever written about me? I shall have to check. This zesty witch will have to keep her affair under the table. It's a married witch you're wooing. Let us see who can catch her interest in conversation and more.

Let us meet our suitors.

Our first lovely suitor is a witch of similar blood background. Born in London, she has a mixed ethnic background - Jamaican, Mexican, and English. I am not sure if she is one to stay up with our bachelorette talking to the wee hours, as she has a short attention span, but some muggle interests follow her clumsy form around. But with jeans and a silly t-shirt on, what does one expect?

Our second suitor is of slightly better standing, a foreigner as well. She is young and fresh into the work force but already with plans along the way to open her own shop for fashion. And just look at her - the way she dresses, it is no surprise the mainland forgives her blood for a few moments. I may shop from her myself.

Our final suitor is another half-blood with eclectic style many may not understand, but your horizons may be broadened. This jack-of-all shades is friendly, but you may want to draw out more. The style of dress does not fit what I would wear, but my style is more classic than this one.

Now, the questions and answers.

Sirius Black: yea or nay? Why?
Suitor 1: I say yea, because Sirius is cool. Cut him open and he's full of dazzling, sparkly things. He looks like the kind of person who has a good sense of humour pre-Azkaban days, plus he's an animagus, and big, fuzzy dogs are just too adorable to be honest.

Suitor 2: Absolutly not, I'm not into self centered men who are keen to belittle and humiliate others in packs. Although I approve of his dedication and loyalty to his friends I'm not into his adventurous character.

Suitor 3: Yea! He was loyal, trusworthy, and fought for what he believed in.

You're on your first date with your potential love-interest, and the first thing he/she does is asking you to sit down and plan the evening in detail. He/She is not laughably uptight or anal, only sincere. What do you do/are you thinking?
Suitor 1: I'm happy doing whatever as long as it's nowhere near insects or spiders, but since I'm assuming a proper answer is expected, I'll just think up the first thing that comes to mind, like say, how does stealing a couple of broomsticks and water-bombing Professor Snape or Filch sound? Muggle style and all. But since this is a date it'll be a moonlit broomstick ride, complete with the soundtrack set to Filch's shocked screams. I obviously fail at the romantics.

Suitor 2: I'm no big fan of surprises myself so I understand my date's interest, and simply tell what I had in mind. Perhaps he/she is able to give some extra insight.

Suitor 3: I'm thinking it's sweet; they obviously want me to enjoy myself. But I'd also suggest that we leave a little room for spontaneity.

Do you consider acting out studied dialogues in front of a mirror or an unwilling audience madness or simply odd?
Suitor 1: Just a little odd. But that keeps things interesting, so go right on ahead.

Suitor 2: I consider practicing in front of an unwilling audience rather useless. It would lower your own morale and courage so it has only
side affects. In front of a mirror may seem odd but you can control the environment and see what your doing, which is very important for acting.

Suitor 3: A little odd perhaps, but it's good to plan ahead like that. Better to act it out and perfect it than screw up something that may be important.

It is time for our bachelorette to decide! Just whom does she want to have a date with?

Well, seeing I am of "that ilk", lucky thing I'm not dating you, isn't it, Herr Grindelwald? And since you wondered, no, actually, I haven't written about you yet -- I prefer a, er, younger generation, born around 1960, perhaps? -- but don't look so relieved, I'll get to you in due time!

Oh, hum, this is a tricky choice! But I've always been unable to resist humour and whimsicality, so I think I'll go with Suitor 1. And now when I'm about to spontaneously combust out of curiousity, would you mind drawing the curtain aside so I can meet my date? ♥

Lucky thing? I think not. It is not a matter of luck, silly mudblood. I would never get my hands dirty with you - unless we're playing a different sort of game, one with a bit more blood. But now now, I do suppose your date would mind if you came beaten, bruised, and bloody to the first date.

I am qute hapy that you chose one of similar lowliness. It is only fitting. And you have chosen, oh bachelorette, none other than Jessica of gryffindor (jessilestrange) for your date. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin will have to try again. With your fondness for the 60's generation, I hope you enjoy your 5 night 4 day stay in Godric's Hollow, where you will be staying in an exact replica of the Potter house, before its fateful visit from the rather pathetic excuse for a villain, Tom Riddle.

Have a lovely time.
