mentions of "off-screen" friends

[lapin-agile.livejournal.com]

I've been reading back through recent posts to catch up on comment threads I might have missed by reading the post too soon. (How do you manage this aspect of the game?)

I thought we might do well to begin a list of references to those characters we've not yet seen:

* in an early exchange w/ Remus alt_sirius strikesout the start of a mention of Hagrid
     (who, perhaps, has Sirius' original, enchanted motorbike in his care in game as he does in canon)

* alt_arthur mentions to Sirius that he's had an owl from Kingsley Shacklebolt
     (who is undercover somewhere & thinks his cover has been compromised)

* during the Order Only thread re. the Quibbler fine, alt_mcgonagall mentions Mundungus Fletcher
     (who seems to be a fence/money-launderer as in canon)

* there's the heartbreaking thread in which Neville "meets" his Mum and she mentions Frank
     (who seems from other mentions to be working separately from Alice? is that right?)

Who am I overlooking? Of course, we've heard about Umbridge and Scrimgeour and the Lovegoods and some students (Oliver Wood, most recently) who aren't [yet?] being played actively. Have we had a reference to Tonks yet? Others?


I'll close by saying that I'm thrilled to see that Poppy Pomfrey has made her entrance into play, moving from the ranks of the "mentioned" to active status!

Anybody want to speculate what Harry wants from Pansy in exchange for giving her his old broom? (He doesn't want to write his request in the journal!)
