ANN:: Alright, so this story has been rattling around in my brain for…maybe close to two years now? I need to get it down. And this summer is my summer of writing, meaning I'm going to focus a lot of my time on that. So here's a new story that I promise I will finish…along with my other ones! ;w;

Anywho! As the summery says, I need characters. I usually don't do this, as it goes against a few personal rules, but this is a special case. Here's the actual story stummery;

Katerina Hartley's first year at Hogwarts are supposed to be great; learning magic, making new friends, the whole deal. There wasn't supposed to be bullies, or evil teachers, and there definitely wasn't supposed to be a pair of redheaded twins constantly bugging her. Fred and George were nothing but trouble, and she knew that. And when a prank set by the Weasley twins backfires horribly and she becomes the victim, Fred will do anything to make it up to her.

The story is set during Fred, George, and Katerina's first year at Hogwarts. There aren't many characters mentioned throughout the books/movies that are the same age as them…and ya know. It's a school. There's a lot of kids there.

So! I'd be very happy to put your guys' characters in this story~

BEFORE YOU GIVE ME A CHARACTER, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

If your characters do not follow the rules listed below, then I will completely ignore them.

There are only a few characters that will be actual semi-main characters. Most of what I need are background characters, and while I would make them up myself, I'm really terrible at that hahaha…

If you do give me a character, YOU ARE GIVING ME FREE WILL TO DO WHAT I WANT THEM. Now, that doesn't mean I'm going to go and make them have sex and do drugs and die some horrible painful deaths or whatnot. What this means is that you cannot get upset at me for something I make a character do/say/how they act and such.

For the love of Godric please do not make all of the submitted characters Gryffindor! I'm okay with having quite a few Gryffindors, but seriously; not everyone can be from there. I need diversity, and if I get too much Gryffindors I may just change some people and move them to other houses.

No phoenix feathers in your wands please.

Lastly, I'm looking for mostly first years, maybe a few second years. Ya know, since the main character is in her first year of Hogwarts.

Whew! Sorry for all the text, haha. I just needed to get all of that across…Now, please fill out the following application (just replace my answer with yours) to submit a character. (You do not have to go super in depth if you don't want to, I just need enough so that I can effectively use the character. For later chapters I may ask for more information, or I may come up with it myself if I cannot wait.)

Name: Katerina Marie Hartley

Gender: Female

Age & Hogwarts Year: 11, First year

House: Gryffindor

Blood(Smuggle-born, Pure-blood, half-blood): Pure-blood

Personality: Shy, socially awkward. Has social anxiety and doesn't make friends well/easily. Very easily embarrassed and prone to breaking out into tears. It takes a lot of time for her to open up to other people, which tends to rarely happen. She's a bookworm and prefers the company of 'me, myself, and I' to big groups of friends. She is very tedious in her schoolwork and studies.

So…yeah, that's it I guess. If you don't get enough characters I'll probably spend a good few…days making some hahaha…I don't want to do that /weeps ;w;

Thank you guys in advance~
