jean's partner. the two solve cases together and work to fight against the dark underbelly of the magical world. you are one of the few people jean truly respects, and looks up to in his own way. the two of you may be merely co-workers on paper, but you are more best friends, despite any differences you may have. jean would trust you with his life, as you would with him.

you and jean follow a case into britain that involves a person from france, requiring the two of you to work alongside the british ministry of magic as you follow the criminal's scent. in an altercation, you end up getting injured, and jean is forced to work with other people while the two of you wait for you to heal.

annette takes her work very seriously, to the point she rarely gives herself some time to unwind and relax. one of her co-workers drags her out to a pub one night, and unfortunately for her, you and another person break out in a fight (whether verbal or physical). annette, having to deal with squabbling international politicians and the like, wants nothing to do with it. it's only when she snaps when she brings out her true diplomatic nature (perhaps more crass than necessary, she is british after all).

rubbing elbows with foreign powers is not unusual for annette, yet, meeting you is. the two of you meet at a party (whether high-end if you are someone of power and significance, or a small gathering if you are not, a welcoming party of sorts) and the two of you have to try to weave in and out of the false nature of politics and actually have some fun. whatever could that be? and can that really happen when annette (and maybe you) are such a stick in the mud?

annette does not like quidditch for very personal reasons, and avoids it like the plague. when her workplace grants her a free ticket to a very important match, she feels forced to go. yet, even being in the stands at the pitch causes her great distress, and she has to take a moment to take a breather. you see her, and go up to her.

a large council meeting is taking place and annette has been elected to speak at it. while the debate is mostly of boring old political stuff, it gets heated when annette is speaking and you keep interrupting her or one-upping her in how you speak. (could also work well w annette's 'rival' connection, but isn't required).

✧. ┊ applicable warnings : this is *not* meant to be a positive connection. whatever past relationship they had will *not* be rekindled.
✧. ┊ **extra notes** : the only stipulation for this is your character *must* have attended hogwarts or any other magical institution around the same time howl did. there’s ample room for discussion on the specifics of what their past relationship looked like and how it looks now. post-break mutual pining and angst up the wazoo with this one.

Description: the notion of perfection was something that you didn’t believe in until you’d met howl. he was everything you could have asked for—kind, patient, gentle, and loving all in one. of course, though, what good things ever come to last? especially when it comes to someone like howl.
your friends advised you against getting too close to him back then and, like a fool, you never listened. it wasn’t until he’d gotten the order to kill you that things began to go south. you haven’t seen him in four years, and with your name having unfortunately been added to his hitlist, you aren’t quite sure whether seeing him again is really a good idea. a second heartbreak...doesn't sound that appealing. neither does the possibility of dying by the same hands that once held you so sweetly.
