And this time, our youngest generation will take the lead! As usual, you don't have to participate every day, and anyone with a next gen OC (1999-2010) is welcome!

Day One: Favourite OC of mine – Tell me about your fave (or faves!) and why they're your fave!
Day Two: Favourite OC that isn't mine – Tell me about the OC or OCs that you don't own that you love and why!
Day Three: Favourite ship of mine – A ship or ships that you love and why!
Day Four: Favourite ship that isn't mine – Ship or ships that you love that aren't yours and why!
Day Five: Beach Day AU- Make up a mini AU of your characters on the beach! What kind of person are they? Do they go early, or late? Are they a sea lover? Are they afraid of any kind of algae...or seagulls? Tell me all about it!

HP Next Gen Appreciation Week | Day One: Favourite OC of mine
Noor Verma-Dhendron
She originally existed as a LOST OC but she and her sister have since been brought into HP and I still love her. Competitive, curious, an intellectual battering ram yet a little emotionally-obtuse, she's not a perfect human being but she's trying, and I appreciate her.
HP Next Generation Appreciation Week - Day 5: Beach AU
Hello! This is my entry for the final day of @endlessly-cursed's HP next gen appreciation week! On this one, we're invited to share an idea of how a visit to the beach would go for our OCs!
Now Brian would love to spend a day on the beach! His favorite activity could be to play volleyball, tennis or badminton with friends. The kiddo likes the soft, loose texture of the sand. Nothing is better than cooling off in the wave on the hottest days, and he finds listening to the cries of the seagulls while lying on a mat on lounger relaxing. Maybe he'll also watch the horizon and see if he can catch a ship, sailboat, or even a plane or helicopter. Brian never saw himself as being a surfer, but he admires the sport.
The best time for him to go would be the later afternoon when the skies have the best potential to be beautiful and the temperature a little cooler. Brian's both adventurous and relaxed. He's ready to catch and enjoy the rushing feeling of the ocean breeze. It could be happening while he's reading a book or studying a map. And of course, he wouldn't hesitate to invite his dear Alyssa @mjs-oc-corner

HP Next Generation Appreciation Week 2024 - Days 1 & 2
Hi everyone! I was busy yesterday, so I decided to combine my first and second entries for @endlessly-cursed's HP Next Gen appreciation week event.
Day one covers an OC belonging to you that you consider your favorite. I just have my boy Brian Haywood-Reese, so I will share a bit on what I like about him. He's been a quidditch aficionado since he was little. Young Brian has watched the games, kept memorabilia, and had dreams of playing for Hogwarts and later for a pro team when he grows up. He is a big believer in good sportsmanship and teamwork, ready to help people in need and very loyal to his mates. However, that also makes it easier for him to be swayed by bullies and rivals who play dirty into doing things such as unsanctioned races out of pressure to preserve his good name. Brian was afraid of his reputation being destroyed by rumors and gossip, so he fell for such challenges. However, he learns to stand up for himself more and is dedicated to building his own strengths and academics, becoming more confident in the process.
Today focuses on another person's OC that is your favorite. My choice has got to be my good friend @mjs-oc-corner/@clovermunson's Alyssa Lockwood. Not only is she the love of Brian's life, she's very driven to learn while looking out for her family and friends. Alyssa can stay at something for a while, whether it be class or being there for someone feeling down. A compassionate and kindhearted Ravenclaw, she also has a beautiful cat named Star with white fur who can be very soft and soothing. Alyssa fervently supports her friends in their endeavors, and you can always count on her if you need a friend to study with or just cheer you on. She may get deep into her work and seem distant from other things going on around her, but it’s never out of ill-intent and Alyssa has just as much fun getting out and spending time in the nice warm weather on a sunny day.

edmund "baby" quinn x rome st. james
baby and rome were best friends and everyone thought they would always be. everything changed when they started their fifth year at hogwarts, however. baby finally got into the quidditch team and started hanging out with richard beck, spending less and less time with rome. at the same time unbeknownst to everyone else, rome was struggling with a rare magical illness and chances of recovery were slim. as if that wasn't enough, forces of darkness start conspiring and the boys are bound to get involved but can they repair their relationship and save rome's life?
As John and Shreya set everything on the sand, Yasemin was already taking pictures of the beach on different angles as Scott and Jude discussed hockey passes and Noor started taking off her clothes, showing off her new bikini that Mansi had bought for her.
After setting the towels, Shreya too showed off her navy blue bikini, and John smiled at her "That's a gorgeous bikini. How come I never saw it before?"
Shreya shrugged "A gift from my father after he finished his business in Singapore."
Overhearing them, Yasemin clapped "Ohh! I have to show you my new bikini! It's gorgeous! Look!" She took off her beach dress and showed her pink and white bikini, and Scott beamed, a small flush on his cheeks.
"You look gorgeous, my love, as usual."
"Aww, Scotty!" She kissed his cheek, and he gave her a quick peck.
Noor, following the lead of her friends, also showed her bikini. Jude looked at her before commenting "You look great. It suits you perfectly."
"Let's hit the water! I'm already sweating."
Shreya took off to the water, and shrieked "Ahh! Cold!"
Yasemin followed her sister "I'm sure it's fi-AHH! COLD!"
Scott chased after her "Don't worry, I'll warm you!"
Noor chuckled, and took Jude's hand and they walked slowly, watching how Shreya tried to adjust to the cold Irish shore, and Scott carrying a giggling Yasemin on his arms, shouting how he'd protect her from the cold waters. They were exchanging kisses and giggles.
"Huh. I don't feel cold anymore." Jude commented.
Noor squeezed his hand "You're quite warm, yes."
He kissed her hand "I'll go try practise some hockey and let John have fun in the water."
Jude quickly exchanged places with John, who didn't seem to mind the cold water and soon had Shreya on his arms, tickling her and playing in the water.
"Scott, careful! You'll ruin my curls!" Yasemin cried, giggling.
After a good time in the water, the couples eventually returned to shore, where Shreya and John handed everyone their snacks and started swapping tales "...And then, Luke swore to never come to us with the beach!" Shreya giggled.
"Poor Luke! Imagine that all the birds nearby attack you and steal your lunch! He handled it better than I would have..." Yasemin empathised with her cousin.
Scott, who had his arm around her, kissed her cheek "Don't worry darling, I'll protect you from the aggressive birds."
Jude looked at Noor amused "Pretty sure Noor wouldn't need my assistance."
John laughed "Neither should Shreya. When it comes to food, the girl is mean."
They all laughed as Shreya stick out her tongue to John.
As the dawn began to come to the beach, Scott laid his head on Yasemin's lap as they whispered and giggled between them, Noor and Jude watched a hockey game in comfortable silence and Shreya and John cuddled, sunbathing with their eyes closed. They all silently agreed that they should make of this a tradition.
