On the Other Side (More characters now available!)
♫ ♥ Where are my garters?! / / THE NORTH GATE ♥ ♫
On the Other Side - Ministry of Magic
Close my eyes. Baby, I am only dreaming.
Try to lie to myself - you are only sleeping.
Close my eyes. I close my eyes...
And so the phoenix cries.
And so the phoenix flies.
I've got to always keep in mind,
Another great adventure waits on the other side.
I'll see you on the other side.
A simple sentence can change everything a person believes in. It can make or break life as you know it.... or it can help you fix your worst mistake, your biggest regret.
A song can have a million different interpretations, and my take on this one is simple: You have the opportunity to change your fate with someone by dictating one of their dreams. But the question remains, will it be enough?
This year at Hogwarts, a special course is offered to select NEWT students to further delve into the Dark Arts. Whether they are tricked into it or well aware of what they are about to do, five students are able to trick their friend, enemy, or a complete stranger into having a dream that could potentially change their relationship to each other.
But who will fall for it? And who will notice that something isn't quite right?
And what will the repercussions do to the dreamers as well as the dream-dictators?
RULES:
The Rules will be posted when they are introduced to the course-attendees.

EDIT:
SPOILER!!: Fallon Nightly BIO
Name: Fallon Nightly
Age: 18
Year: 7th
House: Hufflepuff
History: Fallon was born exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds before his twin brother, William, but that doesn’t mean they have remained exactly close. As older brothers do, Fallon messed with his brother, not letting him live down those 3 minutes and 33 seconds, but William was always the dramatic room and got him into terrible trouble with their parents. When the two were sorted into different houses and William started becoming the Quidditch star (not to mention dating one of the prettiest girls in the school), the twins’ cracks in their relationship turned into a fissure.
Personality: Fallon is constantly looking out for people, however, he can keep secrets as well. Besides his caring nature for people, he does like to joke around quite a lot. At school he plays more of an unsung hero role, due to his brother’s shadow over him, which he can’t stand.
EDIT 2:
SPOILER!!: Professor Helifino BIO
Name: Maybun O. Helifino
Age: 77
Teacher of: Defense Against the Dark Arts
Head of: Slytherin House
History: Not much is publicly known about Professor Helifino, other than his prior Hogwarts house and his passion for protection against the Dark Arts. His father left before he was born, and his mother raised him and his four older brothers mostly alone. She died the week before his youngest brother graduated. He moved to Austraila for several years after her death, only to return to Hogwarts as a teacher.
Personality: Professor Helifino has always been a well-liked teacher, but he is a bit eccentric, some might even call him crazy. He’s incredibly bubbly if not a little naïve, although if you corrupt family values he can be a bit nasty.

But is she really dating him for love or popularity she might gain if Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup. She is a bit of a snob at times, but is there a sweet side in her. It may be shown with the new friend she has found in William's twin Fallon.
{More, really...}
History: Lea was born with a perfect life. Perfect parents, Amber and Justin Crestof, and perfect looks. She was always the sweet little blonde who was everyones friend.

sarahb: That's fine, it will take some time for people to get their bios done and then for the lesson to occur (which only the dictators will be at). I'll also be going away on August 6th through the 13th, but will have internet probably every night and somewhat during the day.
Annabeth: Of course you can be a made-up! Right now a girl would even things out. She can be friends with one or two of the characters or a loner, whatever you wish. Not dating any of the original eleven, though, since some relationships are already happening and just haven't been posted yet. But liking any character is, of course, fine

SPOILER!!: Kora Graham
Kora Graham
The Basics
Full Name: Kora Sapphira Graham
Nicknames: Really… none. Her dad used to call her Kora Bell, but no one else (other than maybe Alfred) calls her anything other than Kora.
Nationality: Mostly French/English and Brazilian with a little Kiwi and Egyptian.
PoB: Auckland, New Zealand
Current Place of Residence: London, England (with two months out of most summers spent in Brazil)
Blood: Pureblood
DoB: October 22
Age: 17
Year: 7
House: Gryffindor
Dig Deeper

Patronus: Blue Jay
Amortentia: Oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies, new leather, rubbing alcohol, Alfred’s original cologne (from when they first started dating)
Boggart: Pit bulls
Relationship Status: Dating Alfred Honeysuckle
Likes: Country, pop, and world music, Quidditch (playing and watching alike) and other sports—she would just as much like going to a football game as going shopping, dogs (particularly big dogs), Ty, and of course Freddy
Interests: Archaeology, art history (particularly ancient), Ancient Ruins, Arithmancy, Transfiguration
Dislikes: Technically, being told what to do (ironic, considering that’s the story of her life), cats, violence (yet again, ironic)
Other: Her accent is a mix of Kiwi (New Zealand) and English and other than English she can speak Portuguese and French.
Her Story
Father: Hunter Graham
Mother: Seraphine Mitterrand Graham
Brother: Tyson (Ty) Graham
Pets: A gorgeous brown and white barred owl named Osiris, an adorable Chow Chow puppy named Sumo, and an English Mastiff named Julius.
Kora was born in Auckland, New Zealand to an incredibly wealthy family and was the fourth and last edition. Her father, Hunter, is an intimidating Englishman, to say the least. He really does know how to have a good time and has a great sense of humor… as long as you can get it out of him. Work and maintaining a perfect family through strict rules and a stern persona seem to almost always come first. Hunter took over his father’s business: one of the world’s most famous wineries. Their wine truly is for the upper class and is “exquisite.” Kora’s mother, Seraphine, is an incredibly attractive Brazilian woman (with a lot of Egyptian in her blood as well). She’s always been very proud of her heritage, feeling that it made her unique and even more beautiful. Seraphine was a pretty popular model through most of her life, but now is a stay-at-home mom which basically only entails making sure the kids are on track and seeing to the family events and affairs. As for Ty… he was the son the Grahams wished they never had. He is now 25 and lives in Brazil, living his life of street racing and drifting. He’s already been imprisoned twice in his life and has been close a couple of other times, but the guy loves his cars and the overall lifestyle, so he doesn’t stop. Ty did not want to live under the suffocating life that was his family, so at age 19 he left for Brazil. He hated having to leave Kora, but he knew he couldn’t take her with him. They had always gotten along well and he was always her protector. When the family goes to Brazil, she gets in contact with him and sees him late at night so her parents won’t know. They would be furious if they found out. “He’s a horrible impression and no longer a part of this family.” After what happened with Ty, Kora’s parents became even more harsh and strict, leaving her little to do as she pleased and little room to have her own thoughts. They just so desperately don’t want her to turn into Ty. Hunter is always on her about grades. If they’re not enviable by his own standards, then they’re not worth mentioning. If they aren’t worth mentioning at Hogwarts, then he will pull her away from her beloved school and send her to a strict boarding school, closer to home. As for her mother, she’s constantly on her about her weight and appearance and her “ladylike” manners.
When she went to Hogwarts, she felt like she could finally be somewhat who she wanted to be. She could be herself! As long as she kept her grades up, life would be good. This remained the fact until she started dating the gorgeous Hufflepuff boy, Alfred Honeysuckle. Falling for him was easy. He was incredibly attractive (still is), talented, and charming. And the first part of the relationship was great. But slowly it took a downfall, getting worse and worse with each passing week. It started with him telling her what to do and what not to do then went to emotional abuse and finally physical. Again, she’s stuck being who someone wants her to be and putting on this picture-perfect appearance. Why didn’t she leave him? They’ve been together for a long time, almost everyone approves at school and even envies the relationship, her parents LOVE him, and… the big one: She LOVES him. What she goes through, that’s just the price of love, right? She rarely even considers leaving Alfred because Kora’s gotten it so set in her mind that this is just the way it is and this is what love looks like.
Don’t Judge a Book by her Cover
Kora Graham’s “cover” is the eye of every girl’s dreams. She’s gorgeous, talented, wealthy, has an enviable sweet and fun personality, and she has the guy with a seemingly perfect relationship. People walk through the halls and look at her with envy, wishing they could switch lives with her, just for one day, one hour even. Does Kora notice? Rarely. To begin, she’s not the most observant girl around, remaining fairly aloof to what goes on around her. She’s always been that way, but her abusive relationship and the constant watch of her parents only adds to that. If and when she does feel the envy of others though, she can’t do anything but pity them. If only they knew what they were putting their jealousy towards…
Despite everything, the true Kora Graham is full of light-heartedness, laughter, and fun. She loves surprises and spontaneity (plans hardly have the fun that following random ideas have) and she is full of heart and passion, holding more room in her heart for love than most. Her loyalties are strong and she has a lot of patience. Really, she has an incredibly long fuse, and even once you get to the end of that fuse, she has much more of a bark than a bite. Kora used to be much less of a doormat, always standing up for herself as much as she would stand up for a friend, but her current relationship has kind of taken that out of her. She tends to be more on the blunt side, though tries to be careful not to hurt anyone with her words. Things are all very black and white to her—things all fit into right or wrong and if something is gray, she places it where she thinks it best fits (though often she is so wrong). Because of her parents (particularly her dad) she is incredibly hardworking, driven, and organized. If she’s not with Alfred (or sometimes a friend), she’s studying. While Kora is outgoing among her friends, she tends to be more on the quiet side. She really isn’t the type to come up to someone new with lots of energy and ask them about their life’s story. She struts the halls as though her pores drip with confidence, however, she has very little. The appearance of confidence is something learned.
Kora definitely does have some athletic ability and LOVES athletics. She runs to stay in shape and was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team as the chaser from her third year up until now. Alfred “talked” her out of it for her final year at Hogwarts.
Kora is a lot of fun, but is a little less so with Alfred. She’s just so stuck on keeping him happy that she loses sight of other things. Yet, she still loves him and has an incredibly strong loyalty to him and the relationship.
Appearances are Everything
Complexion: Fair, but she tans incredibly easily
Build: Slim and rather fragile looking with some tone
Height: 5’7”
Eyes: Large and crystal blue. They’re one of her most striking features
Hair: Long, dark brown, falling a few inches below her shoulders. It is naturally straight, but she often adds some curl to it.
Dress: When in uniform her skirts always fall a few inches above her knee and she always accessorizes at least a little. When out of uniform she is usually in high-fashion dresses and if in jeans they are with a nice top. She doesn’t have anything against wearing colour, but she usually dresses in black, whites, and grays.

Family. Where Would You be Without 'Em? Mother: Unknown (most likely a witch) Father: Unknown (most likely a wizard) Adoptive Mother: Carrie Minda (nee Thorne) Adoptive Father: Kristhopher Minda Siblings?: None Zoe: Thank gawd. Pets: None
And still there's More!
Zoe Minda...Or rather just Zoe, was left unnamed and unhappy when she was dropped off at a local ophanage. Zoe, barely a month old, was taken in at the orphanage where the lovely people took care off her. Zoe stayed at the small little orphanage for two years. She seemed like a normal little girl. She played well with the other children and she hardly ever cried or complained. Maybe that's why the Minda family adopted her? Who knows? Who cares? Certainly not Zoe.
After being adopted Zoe, obviously, moved in at the Minda's small, yet cozy, home. Everything was going well and Zoe actually enjoyed being her new family. But things started to change as Zoe grew older. Her parents began to become more distanced from Zoe. Zoe couldn't understand why which frustrated her. She resolved to staying hours upon hours locked in her room, not that anyone seemed to care or notice. Somedays Zoe went without eating. As a last restort, Zoe created her own little world. A world only she knew about, a world where she could escape. During the time she would spend in the "real world" strange things were happening. Just small things but things that made her stop and actually think.
Finally, Zoe found her escape. Hogwarts. Zoe went to Hogwarts were she was sorted into Slytherin, leading her to believe to be a Pureblood. Though Zoe knew Hogwarts was her chance to make friends she rejected the idea. She couldn't allow herself the comfort of leaving her world. The world she had created to escape. As her school years went by there were only two things, or people rather, that Zoe seemed to notice. One was Selina Wagnor. A creepy Ravenclaw that always looks at Zoe. The other is charming Alfred Honeysuckle. The problem? His baggage (a.k.a Kora Graham)

Here it is:
SPOILER!!: Rosabelle (Rosie) Nightingale
Hello. Pleasure to Meet You~ Name: Rosabelle Elizabeth Nightingale Nicknames: Rosie, Rose, Ro, Rosa. Age: 17 POB: London, England Year: Seventh House: Griffindor Education: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Blood Status: Muggleborn Relationship Status: Single
I'm Like an Open Book, Easy to Read~ Wand: 11¾ inch, Oak wood, Phoenix Feather core, Flexible Patronus: Barn Owl Boggart: Spiders Likes: Chocolate, reading, learning, writing, talking, swimming. Dislikes: Spiders, bullies, really nice people(They are freaky).
Because My Looks Are Important: Height: 5'7 Skin Tone: Very Pale, she always looks ill Hair: Bright red Eyes: Stormy Grey
Family. Where Would You be Without 'Em? Mother: Grace Nightingale(Deceased) Father: Paul Nightingale Siblings: None Pets: Two fish called Catherin and Amber
And still there's More!
Rosabelle was really suprised when she got her letter, she had always thought that magic was real, but never thought that she would have it. She always wanted a sister, but never got one, so she had no practice of talking to people, so she always a little shy and only speaks to her close friends, which isn't a lot of people. When she was younger, she lived with her Aunt and Uncle as her parents were traveling the world so had no time to look after her. This never bothered her untill she began Primary school, when they had to draw a picture of their parents, she could not.
Then when she was 7, her parents came back from their travels, and she lived with them, until she was 8 when her mother tragically died in a car crash. She lived with her father ever since.
Finally she went to Hogwarts where she was sorted into Griffindor and met her friend, Fallon Nightly, from Hufflepuff, although his brother is the one everybody thinks is amazing, Rosabelle thinks that Fallon is the amazing one. She also met her friend Tommy Jones, he is also in Griffindor and is a good friend of hers. She keeps herself to herself, but only if needed. She has never really understood why she is in Griffindor, but will always accept it. She is kind and caring, and people go to her for help. Random Facts You Need To Know:
She is half American, and half English but you can not tell. She talks really posh and is dylexic.
Name: Alfred Honeysuckle
Nicknames: Fred, Freddy, Al (quite honestly he responds to most anything if you are nice to him...if not he won't even acknowledge that you exist.)
Blood: Pureblood
DoB: March 25
Age: 17
Year: 7
House: Hufflepuff
Relationship Status: Dating Kora Graham
Nationality: Mostly Swedish and English
Personality: A lot of the time a pretty nice guy, a good sense of humor and very like able.
Background:
Mother: Vanessa Honeysuckle
Father: Gabriel Honeysuckle
Siblings: Linus Honeysuckle (21), Emma Honeysuckle (19)
Alfred's family is all about status. They all had to be the most popular, the best dressed, the most athletic, the best students, etc....This was how Alfred grew up and is the only thing he ever knew. The pressure of this didn't only come from his parents but also from his brother and sister. When Linus was at Hogwarts he was the star Quidditch player, and Emma was top of her class. Now Alfred as the burden of doing both plus 'honor' his family name or at least that's what his father tells him.
As soon as Alfred started dating Kora things instantly become easier. Not only was she super attractive and an amazing person, they also became the 'it' couple. Everybody knew them making Alfred popular. It seemed either everybody wanted to be him or date him. From the outside looking in it seemed like he had the perfect life.
Alfred is not stupid he knows for a fact if he losses Kora he losses everything. He's friends, his popularity, his status. None of which he wants and he will do anything to keep her his and would most defiantly be considered abusive although no one ever sees this side of him. So nobody knows. And some where deep inside of himself he truly loves Kora more than anything he is just so blind sighted he can't see it anymore...
More info:
Likes: Sports (Quidditch, Soccer, Basketball, Running) Music, Kora, and being popular
Dislikes: When Kora doesn't want to do what he tells her to...
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Height: 6'1"
Build: Alfred is rather muscular, basically an athletic build.
