Intro

[di_intraining]

Hey guys, Coulson-mun here, bringing yet another law-abiding character into SH! Ironically, those are also the initials of a certain Sherlock Holmes, who drives a certain Detective Inspector Lestrade up the wall.

Greg Lestrade here in this AU is a Muggle-born 5th year Hufflepuff. He's not exactly the smartest of students, and he's a little rough around the edges and maybe a little bit insensitive, but he's got a good heart underneath it all. His background AU info is here on his app. I'm open to plotting for pre-established CR, and I'm looking forward to playing my first student character at Sorting Hat.

Tony and Greg should find each other annoying.

One because Tony rubs sensible people the wrong way.
Two because lol RDJ was Sherlock and well, yeah.

8D

[di_intraining]

Oh lord, don't make him punch you Tony.

Yeah, I imagine Tony would really annoy him. Tony can also point out his less than stellar school results; he's horrible at every subject except for Care of Magical Creatures, Transfiguration and DADA, which he's OK at, and Flying, which is the only thing he really does well in.

[arrogantalloy]

Everyone punches Tony. Because he doesn't realise how bloody annoying he is.

But yeah, seems like something Tony would do to. I liiiiiiiike

[di_intraining]

Tony's also in 6th year right? Eventhough he's the same age.

Wanna make Lestrade jealous with all the Outstanding OWLs and results? Even in Sorting Hat, he can't escape being outsmarted.

[arrogantalloy]

Oh yes. Yes I think Tony's going to do that in deed.

And yeah, he's 14 but in 6th year. Clever dickens he is.

[di_intraining]

Pffft. Lestrade is going to be so annoyed. Tony can totally sneak a look at his homework and embarrass him by reading out his mistakes and correcting them.

Oh, and I remember!! Lestrade's from a family that's not very well off. There's just enough to cover expenses, but even during summer he had to take an extra job to help his dad. Would Tony make jabs on that?

I think they should start off on a negative note, but hopefully we can work towards it being more positive?

[arrogantalloy]

Money's one thing that Tony doesn't belittle people over. One of the plus sides to Tony is that to him money is just like having brown hair or green eyes. He doesn't feel entitled or anything it's just something he has. It's why just just spends it on things, and keeps offering his money to his friends.

But I'm happy to have Tony and Greg not at all get along but then slowly get along when he starts figuring out Tony's ways. And Tony figures out his.

[moveslikejaeger]

He can Van can be buddies! Okay, so I can't decide that for Van, but since Maxim and him are attached at the hip, and Van's also a Fifth year Huffpuff, I imagine Maxim and Greg know of each other.

If he's a cranky pants, stick in the mud, I can guarantee that Maxim would be the kind to sit and push his buttons.

[di_intraining]

Please push all his buttons. Yeah, Maxim and him should know off each other, and may have spoken a few times though probably not in very good circumstances, given how law-abiding Lestrade is.

[moveslikejaeger]

Yessssss Maxim will find him hilarious and be all over him with the poking and the annoying.

[di_intraining]

No Sherlock in Sorting Hat, but he has Tony and Maxim to deal with instead. I feel a little sorry for him. But not really.

But I imagine that if Lestrade and Van do get along, he will hang out with Maxim as well. And he does think Maxim's a good person, even if he's ridiculous and he really should know better. I think Lestrade would count him as a friend; just a really, really annoying one.

[bubblingover]

heeeey since fef is in the year below him and a hufflepuff as well, i think they can be friends, she can look up to him and stuff, even tho he is only a year older than her~

[di_intraining]

Oh, that'd be fantastic! Big brother syndrome, yay or nay?

[bubblingover]

all the yaaaay from me!! \o/ fef needs a older brother to dot over her uwu

[di_intraining]

He's already protecting her good name here. Lestrade's got your back Feferi!

[bubblingover]

awwwww lestraaaaadeeee, total sweetie <33333 *A*

yes yes these two will be the best uwu

[formyownhand]

FIFTH YEAR HUFFLEPUFF YAY! :D

So, yeah, that means Rapunzel is in classes with him and such; she gets on well with law-abiding and rule-bending types alike and rough around the edges + sometimes insensitive + good heart = best kind of character to play Rapunzel off of, really. They could maybe already be pals?

Merida is a fifth year, too, so she'd... Know him. Not adore him if he'd bug her about following rules, but I think they'd get on okay.

[di_intraining]

Gimme all the Rapunzel CR, /on nom nom nom.

But yes, I'd love for them to be pals. Lestrade was a bit of a shut in in his first few years in Hogwarts because he was always working hard, but he started loosening up a little and hanging around others in his fourth year. With how warm Rapunzel is, I'd say that the two can definitely be friends!

I expect he'd have heard of Merida as well. He wouldn't bug her to follow the rules unless she did something disruptive while he was around; he's obeys the rules, but he does know that some rules can be stupid, or maybe Merida's not doing any harm by breaking this one. He'd prefer for her to follow all of them of course, and he would make some comment on that if she were to do something that has big repercussions, but other than that he'd be alright with her.

/eyes this

Would like CR.. because I'm always wanting CR.. but hmmm..

Arts is a sixth year Slytherin but he's not.. that much of a bad guy.. :V

[di_intraining]

The only hard thing would be chances for the both of them to interact. Lestrade was a bit of a shut in in his earlier years because he was really working hard. He wouldn't really talk to Arthur unless they met each other one day or something?

[rule_britannia]

It's a possibility. Where does he spend most of his time?

Arthur lurks around the library and greenhouses a lot |D

[di_intraining]

Aaaaaaand that's where Lestrade will be: the library!

Maybe Arthur's seen him trying very hard to finish his homework there? Lestrade isn't the brightest of folk, unfortunately. He's got street smarts, and he's alright with practical spells for DADA and Transfiguration, but he struggles with everything else.

[rule_britannia]

Oh gosh Arthur is horrid with transfig xD

But yes he may have seen him! He can understand putting your all in to succeed. He does it too.

[di_intraining]

Ah ha ha, maybe they can help each other out? I think they might've seen each other quite a few times over the weeks. Maybe Lestrade accidentally botched a Charm and set fire to Arthur's eyebrows or something, and that's how they met when he went to the Hospital Wing to apologize, XD.

[rule_britannia]

OH GOD I love this.

Yes. You are amazing.

[di_intraining]

The start of a wonderful friendship. Maybe Arthur can help Lestrade out with the subjects he's bad at (which is nearly all of them) while Lestrade can help him out with Transfig?

[rule_britannia]

So long as Lestrade can put up with Arthur's occasional outbursts of temper/feeling sorry for himself/sibling issues and etcetc I think they will get along marvellously :D
