(JOHN BARROWMAN)- SECRETARY FOR LOVELY STARS COUNSELING
This is the secretary for Astoria Malfoy, he's a writer on the side for the journal of your choice or maybe he's trying to make a break with his first book. He gets along well with his boss and the jokes between them can be described as inside-jokes. There is a relationship that can be determined between him and the other two men in her life. Although she would have known him for a while, he would have grown up closely to Toshiko and Astoria. They are close in age because they were some of the younger ones of the group, although he isn't related to them he is however a pure-blooded young man. He's the family friend referred to in Toshiko's description, he attended Hogwarts the same year Tosh and Astoria did but he wouldn't necessarily have needed to be in the same house. Although a suggestion would be for Slytherin House.
How he will come into the story is that she gave him another job when she moved to the school with work but he grew bored. Missing the company of his friend, seeing that she was swamped he took the chance to ask for his job back. After some considerable convincing she will accept that she needs help, although that will be how he comes in, trying to bring up old times, and that he can be some help, not for the money but for the good of the job. He would be respectful of Astoria's wishes to work for good rather than money and sometimes will try and understand how to do her job. His pet name for his friend Astoria is 'the basket case' because Astoria is the only one out of the three who gets stressed.
TOSHIKO ANABELLE MCNAIR (DICHEN LACHMAN)- GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Toshiko was adopted by her father who happens to be Astoria Malfoy's favorite uncle, she grew up with her cousin's current secretary and Astoria herself. She is almost the same age as Astoria just a few months of, which hasn't really made much of a difference. She attended school with her cousin and close family friend but they don't need to be in the same house as Astoria unless you want them to. Toshiko is laid-back just as the family friend is only she has a habit of partying so she has been known to attend some fundraisers drunk but also can sober up if she wishes, she isn't entirely hopeless. Astoria was the first in the family to welcome her in, mainly because they were so close in age.
How she would come into the story is that she would drop by and want Astoria to join her for a party or something, or merely drop by and being a grown up it's whatever she wants. She thinks that money is something of a play thing but she is sure she would find ways around if she didn't have as much. Still she respects Astoria for working like she is, and even more that her cousin decided to take a low pay grade to work at the school. Toshiko's nickname for Astoria is 'the shrink' out of playfulness rather than meanness, she often suggests the most stressed out of the three calms down with a cool drink of liquor or some other supplement.
