🌟 When your OC loses all hope, who do they turn to first? What helps make them feel better? What calms them down and reassures them? Why?

Hard question, When David loses all hope is like a dead man walking, what he re-light his hopes is thinking about the worst-case scenario so he will be like “This is not the worst-case scenario, there is still hope, I can still do something!”. He feels generally better during peaceful situation(who doesn’t?). He feels generally reassured when he can talk with someone who doesn’t mind his odd way to talk(that is similar to Midoriya's way of mumbling when he explains something) 

☀️ What makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?

David is basically happy every time he shares his time with Penny. That aside he likes nature, it’s his happy place(maybe in a past life he was an elf from another world/dimension, *wink wink* or he was Snow White XD). He loves animals and creatures, even the colours of nature helps him to relax. Every kind of activity made in the woods makes everything nice and peaceful for him(even a lesson of Potions in the woods would be heaven for him). He loves working for the Magical Creatures Reserve(i headcanon that the Magical Creature Reserve, actually hired him as part-time worker and David gets money from that), even if those creatures can kill anyone(we have Chimeras and Dragons after all), in his opinion they’re way less problematic than anything inside Hogwarts(including people).

🌙 If your OC could have one wish come true what would it be and why? Would there be consequences to this wish or would they regret it once they get what they want? What would they give in return for this wish to come true?

Jacob never trapped in the vaults.

What will change(for the better): 

David’s memories will be unsealed sooner

David will never suffer from that depressing feeling of loneliness that brings him to try to resurrect his mother

This will bring David to not lose his sense of touch, never met God/Truth, never had a panic attack over his letter for Hogwarts, Jacob would be the classic “proud big brother” for the last two years(Jacob at least the one in the game, IF he is the real one knows how to apparate and Apparition is a lesson you can take only in Sixth or Seventh year)

David never met Minerva and had an agreement about her paying for his education...Dumbledore would do it instead.

David probably would have been sorted in Hufflepuff or Slytherin(with his brother)

IF the vaults were still a thing going on, Jacob would have a change of mind about over-protecting David, and instead, he would teach them the most advanced spells he knows and give him a strict training-menù, or have his Alchemy-tattoos way sooner

DavidxPenny would look like Hinny rather than a Romione with a “Beauty and the Beast” trope

David and Merula (aside opinions on her racism/elitism) they would be healthy rival(until she screws up everything at least...not implying it, just saying that it may happen, based on what we know about her in the canon game)

David wouldn’t have all those problems related to anger issues, stress, PTSD and depression, and thanks to his brother’s presence he would have someone to truly talk without feeling judged or dismissed(because Jacob dealt with a big part of the Vaults and actually understands him) so David would have mentally “grown” more healthy and without that feeling of “being hiding part of his personality for the sake of being loved” that actually has in the canon HPHM

David would be a better fighter, wizard and he would be more smooth with talking because he dealt with his mental problems way better and actually he doesn’t get triggered by almost everything related to Hogwarts and as consequence(with the secret wish of destroying the institution of Hogwarts like dismantling the staff, like forcing the Ministry to change everything about Hogwarts for the sake of making it a safer place), he would have more time to learn new things...

David would be way less shy about sharing PDA with Penny

❄️ What makes your OC sad, so sad that they can’t help but cry all day? How do they cheer themselves up? Does their sadness upset any of their loved ones too?

With everything happening in HPHM? Only someone dying would make him sad enough to cry, like the 12 students eaten alive by the Acromantula, he cried a lot and was also angry to Dumbledore, enough angry to try to punch him multiple times. He needed to vent for a while with Penny and/or Rowan(at first is supposed to be a PennyxDavid moment but JC is literally removing Rowan from the game...so I want to compensate) helping him to calm down.

🔥 If your OC is known for having temper tantrums? If not, what gets them really angry? What makes their blood BOIL? Is there any way to calm them down or are they unstoppable? What are they like when they’re angry? Do they take it out on their loved ones?

David main reason for a tantrum is when someone explains something but in David’s mind, that explanation sounds so stupid to actually get angry about it. David actual rage usually is extremely violent and sometimes cruel/sadistic, like against Merula for bullying Ben, against Fenrir for assaulting Penny, David going crazy against the chimaera who cut his left arm. David (and Jacob) is a walking natural disaster, you don’t see people stopping hurricanes with the power of friendship or their own strength. David can be calmed down by a couple of people (Penny by calming him down with kindness and love, Rowan by forcing him to use some logic and reason). David hates himself for feeling so angry like a beast, even though he never being violent with the people who care about...if he did, it means that either he never really cared for them or they did something so awful to ruin their relationship with David.

❤️ What would your OC’s ideal lover be like? Appearance, personality, voice? Would their family approve or would it be a civil war?

(I'm gonna be hated by @cynicaljapanophile for this and I deserve her hate)

David’s ideal woman would be either brunette or a redhead like him...someone who knows when push him and when it’s the case to let him reason…..if Merula wasn’t an ungrateful racist, bully(and a criminal, because between trying to kill MC twice and stealing other people’s things...she should be in Azkaban with her parents since the very beginning) she would be a cute potential love interest with a “Rivals to Lovers” trope(KILL ME NOW, HANA!); instead David fell in love with Penny, who is less daring but she knows him, understands him, and she is more of a supporter, more like Leliana or Liara(From DA and ME) but during their relationship is Penny the one who starts every passionate act of love(David needs time to understand what is appropriate to do and what is not, which it’s like living in a world where the political fairness mixed with religious bigotry won so much that even thinking about holding hands with someone is treated like sexual assault...so you can imagine what kind of panic has David when he wants to begin a common kiss without knowing if it’s okay or without having her consent or without reading her mind first).

David’s biological family wouldn’t approve(Father doesn’t care, Mother is a ghost who embraced the same ideals of death eaters, and Jacob thinks that David deserves someone stronger and more trustworthy)

David’s foster-family(Badea’s family) is happy as long David is happy and smiling.

Penny’s family, is pretty much okay, her father is like super happy, her mother is quite a sceptic because she knew David’s mother(and when she changed ideals from not-racist to pureblood supremacist, their friendship went to hell) while Bea...i think she would be conflicted like “Oh my god, my hero is related to us! David is my brother(in-law)” and at the same time “of course, my perfect sister got the strongest, the nicest student and hero of Hogwarts! It’s the cherry on the cake of her perfect life!”

🕊️ Would your OC ever get married or are they already wed? If they’re married, describe what their wedding was like! If not, describe their ideal wedding (or do this if you feel like it anyway!)

in Auror!AU, David and Penny get married during late spring, a place with flowers everywhere, a peaceful atmosphere, and as a “gift” their friends invited Metallica to play at the wedding(including David’s favourite song: Nothing Else Matters), everything is fine, it’s like a huge reunion of friends celebrating just one couple.

in Cursebreaker!AU(and by extension DA!AU, that is a route of Cursebreakers!AU) they never get married but they’re always being a couple, you can’t have one of them without the other, they would love the wedding like Auror!AU, but they’re busy, constantly travelling around the world, that for their wedding they’ll wait for their retirement...but they share a couple of enchanted rings and they’re their own engagement rings.

🍼 Does your OC have any children or want children? What names would they pick? Are they good with kids or a complete disaster?

In both AUs David and Penny want and will have kids, but it’s still a WIP idea and in general I’m not into the fan kids-thing(especially with a game still going and without its ending), so I don’t think I will ever talk about their kids directly(aside some random mentions, if it happens).

In general David and Penny as parents are nice, they don’t spoil their kids but they’re there for helping them, trying the most diplomatic approach with them, teaching them their specialities like CQC combat, magic, cooking and giving them hints about aspects of life but without going too far, in fear of spoiling them(and by extension making harder for them to be independent or learn things by themselves) 

☕ Give us one (or more if you feel like it) of your OCs deep dark secrets! Why do they keep it hidden? Spill the tea!

It’s not a secret, simply a hidden complex of David, the reason why such a kind but at the same time violent, never truly killed anyone is because he is scared(not enough to be a boggart) that if he will be discovered, even if he will kill a very bad guy(like Voldemort or something) he would be hated forever by anyone. Actually, this secret fear/complex makes his cynicism lighter.  

🍂 What are their opinions on the different seasons? Which one do they hate and which one do they love and why?

Spring: Quidditch season begins! Yuhu! Also, Winter is over, I can take some rest from panicking over the fear of getting frostbites and chilblains because of my metallic limb! Hooray! 

Summer: I wish I have my left arm back...at least I could refresh myself with a nice swim...i also must avoid every very hot place like Africa...so I can avoid to burn myself because my metallic arm can be extremely hot to actually being able to cook bacon on it.

Autumn: Best Season! Like Spring but without risk for allergies, but way more humid... I hate humidity!

Winter: Frostbites, chilblains...no quidditch and not enough clothes to keep myself warm, I hate my automail in winter! Will I ever be happy with the weather? At least I can enjoy every single PDA from Penny, or dating in Jacob’s room, with the excuse that is the cosiest and warm room in Hogwarts, and that is totally accessible anytime we want...not the best date idea, but at least we don’t freeze, YAY!

🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?

in the question about wishing something I explained what David wanted to change(through a wish, probably something with a genie XD)

Here I will say what David would change and why he would want to change that thing:

David would totally change his friends’ addiction to him.

Why? I have a headcanon where at some point Jacob, would use the connection they both have to each other to discover something about David’s social life and learning that David is so reliable that his friends are addicted to him to the point to seek for help surprisingly often even for being friends.

David will be forced to talk with Jacob, and Jacob brings up the matter, disappointed (like a parent discovering that their kid is hanging out with a bad company) after a long talk where David tries everything to defend them...he had to admit that Jacob is right: His friends are needy and addicted to his help.

So, David would change his friends’ addiction/neediness to him...for the sake of learning if they love him because he is reliable(and by extension they need someone who helps them) or because they really care about him…

It’s not about what would change, or what he thinks would happen if his friends change or what someone else would think...it’s about David insecure about his friends and his mixed feelings about the fear that maybe his friends care about him because they’re taking care of who is basically the solution to all their problems.

💐 Does your OC like flowers? What are their favourites? Do they keep a garden of some sort? What flowers would they use in a flower crown? (and if you like, research the meanings behind those flowers!)

David loves flowers, just not enough to have a garden(mostly because with his schedule of being in Hogwarts for 7 years and then either being a busy Auror or a nomad/wanderer curse breaker). In a flower crown meant for himself, he would use: Genisteae, Columbine/Aquilegia, Amaryllis and Gardenia…those flowers are what would describe David much as possible(but in general, David is not the person who messes with flowers, for him are just nice to watch them and smelling them).

In a flower crown that he would give to Penny, he would choose Agrimony, white Clover, Tillia(also known as linden in Europe or basswood in North America), and red Tulip.

PS: all the meanings of these flowers were found on Wikipedia(i don’t know how trustworthy is Wikipedia, everyone is telling me that is the wrongest website ever for this kind of things)

🌼 Write a short drabble from your OCs POV meeting their LI (or if they don’t have a love interest, their best friend. If you don’t want to do a drabble, describe their first meeting instead!)

“What a day...it’s the weekend but God said no! Snowstorm! 

That jerk...it’s not enough removing my sense of touch for almost five years?!” 

What a day... I supposed to hang out with my friends during this quiet period where for some reason or another, the Stone Curse took some weeks off but this bloody snowstorm came in and ruined my plans together with Barnaby’s flu…

[Flashback] This Morning...

< David! Thank god! You’re here! Where’s Barnaby? > yelled my boss at the Reserve for Magical Creatures while he is fast-walking to me, with his face that showed all his worries…

< Barny got flu...what’s happening? > I asked quietly while my hands were freezing in the pockets of my red coat.

< THIS BLOODY SNOWSTORM! EVERYTHING IS HELL! I NEED HELP AT THE RESERVE AND TODAY IS YOUR FRIEND’S TURN! > he kept yelling at me while grabbing me…

[End of Flashback]

“And before I knew it, I was kidnapped by my boss, during my day-off, ready to enjoy some hot soup at the Inn...and I spent it by repairing barns, lighting fires and lamps, and cooking soup for the creatures while I was starving and freezing...and now is late evening, still hungry and freezing...Barnaby, you owe me a day!”

< You’re too kind David...> I said, trying to verbally pat my own shoulder…

< As a matter of fact, this is what people expect from the Hero of Hogwarts...but people should learn to be grateful first... > said a voice while actually patting on my right shoulder

I happily turn so I can see her, blessed and feeling reassured to listen to her voice but then I remember in what situation I left…

< Sorry for... > I got interrupted before finishing the sentence by her index finger gently pressing on my lips...

< Like it was your fault for being dragged to work at the Reserve during your day-off, or for Barnaby having a flu…it was funny though, a big guy like you, being taken and pulled by the collar of your coat to work, it was like watching a baby walking a dragon on a leash! > she smiles and laughs a little while she covers her mouth during that short laugh

I smile scratching the back of my head, and checking around before meeting her breathtaking blue eyes, I still can’t believe how can she deal with these situations where I end to postponing our dates...and still choosing to stay with me: She could have anyone and she chose me over everyone, Penny Haywood your existence fuels my happiness!

< Wake up, love! > she snaps her fingers a couple of times laughing joyful

<Ehg! Sorry, I was thinking if I did everything at the reserve...> what an excuse, now she will think you’re a workaholic! You Moron!

<...and even if you didn’t, it’s your boss’ problem now...unless he begins to pay you in days-off from work...and in that case, I’ll be happy to help you to negotiate with him >  another laugh but this time I actually laugh a little

< Only if I could spend all of them with you and nobody else... > Fantastic, now she’ll surely think that you’re jealous and possessive... I can’t believe I said it!

She blushes a little < It sounds like heaven > she simply caress my right cheek for a couple of seconds <...but first: let’s go to dinner! You worked hard during a snowstorm since this morning and you deserve a meal...this time it’s on me, my love! > and suddenly she begins to push me to the Three Broomsticks Inn until I start to walk and only then she grabs my right arm smiling while walking next to me...

“Dear ungrateful annoying Truth/God, I’m busy with my absolutely magnificent, wonderful, beautiful, mesmerizing girlfriend, until Monday...mind your goddamn business!”

🥀 Has your OC ever been hurt by someone they love? Ever been betrayed? Abused? Attacked? Give me the angst! (if you’d like, write a short drabble about it!)

David? Everything can hurt him, he doesn’t fear monsters/beasts or criminals, he fears words and the emotions you can put in those words; many people used the wrong words in the wrong moments(aside from the basic game):

We have his father saying multiple times that David is only a future sidekick for Jacob and explaining that he’ll only be a feral boy unable to truly be civil or humane destined to be on a leash forever. His ghost-mother being disappointed in him for not being a pureblood supremacist and befriending everyone without really caring about their family’s status. 

We have David’s friends every time they say that he is obsessed with the vaults/his brother and the same exact friends asking for something meaningless in exchange of something important for the sake of Hogwarts’ safety.

We have Dumbledore being the worst counsellor ever always bringing out the rage repressed inside David with his words like at the end of the fourth year, a dozen of students died along the year but Dumbledore focus in punishing David first...their conversation went violent...David’s right knuckles were bleeding trying to destroy Dumbledore’s barrier and actually punish him for those hurtful words.

We have Jacob, arguing with David about how dependent his friends are and even more depressing...David agreeing with him at the end of the conversation, admitting that his presence(with his selflessness and kindness) made them addicted to his help admitting that for most of them he doesn’t feel he cares for them in a “we’re friendly and we got each other’s back” way but more “these guys are one of the few THINGS I have, and I’ll take care of them” with a little bit of “I’m so independent that I can’t even find a way for them to be helpful for me...aside be my eyes and ears and gather Infos for me...”

🏞️ If your OC could travel to anywhere in their world where would they go? Why? If they could live there would they?

David loves places near the sea/ocean(like the Philippines and its many islands), or with a great view from above(like Hogwarts) and yeah he would totally live in this kind of places, and he would love every second of it.

🏡 Describe your OCs ideal house! Give us a tour around! What’s their garden like? Their bedroom? Kitchen? Where is it and how many people live there?

David ideal house(it doesn’t mean he will ever have it though) it’s on the countryside, he loves big open spaces, pretty much like the movie version of the Burrow, big house with a lot of space inside and outside, not much else. The bedroom is actually small but cosy, it must give the “finally I can rest” vibe. The kitchen is quite a punch in eye to see, it’s like a spaceship trying to look classic but it’s quite organized, after all, it’s David’s kingdom. 

The house is occupied by David, Penny, their two kids, but he can handle at least other 5 guests...if the guest doesn’t mind to sleep on the couch or sleeping in the same room together, we can arrive at 8 total guests.

🔪 Has your OC ever killed someone? Ever had to defend themselves against violence? How did this make them feel? Or, alternatively, has your OC ever attacked someone? Seen someone die?

HPHM? Is basically a constant fight to the death with almost everything and everyone, David is born in a family that values strength, speed, and power in general, you either survive or you don’t...also he is bound to violence(sadly) because his biological mother cursed him by triggering murder instincts(towards anything that David thinks it’s filthy/unworthy to live) when someone says his second name(Jager). David never killed(during HPHM) because he is scared to lose himself while in curse breakers!AU(with DA!AU and TW!AU) he kills quite much, dark spawns, dragons, bandits, ANDERS, a bunch of Qunari in Kirkwall...he is never proud of it, but usually when he doesn’t think that a person may change for the better...he rather kills...

💎 Does your OC collect anything? Is there a reason? When did they start and is it beginning to turn into a little bit of a hoarding issue? What do they do with their collection?

Before going to Egypt to learn the transmutation of Ice/water, he was used to collecting knives for the sake of having many throwing knives, so he collected knives for the sake of using them(then he got the ability to transmute weapons from using the humidity in the air or water spells as materials). Meanwhile, he discovers his talent in cooking and begins to collect in a huge book his favourite recipes. After that is not much about collecting unless it’s a weird item or something funny.

In the Cursebreakers!AU (Witcher!AU the one where David and Penny end in the Witcher-universe) David goes nuts for Gwent and begins to collects cards for the sake of having nice pictures of people(like Geralt, Ciri, Yen and etcetera), he basically plays Gwent only with Penny and their adopted daughter Alexandria Elen Riannon Haywood. 

In general, David doesn’t collect much, unless it’s something that may be useful or some magical(but quite uncommon/unique) artefact.

📚 If your OC was given some kind of forbidden knowledge, what would they do with it? Would they tell anyone? Use it for evil or good? How would it change their outlook on life, if at all?

David knows how to make a Philosopher's stone...he simply tries to send Nicholas Flamel in jail for his crimes(mass murder for the sake of creating the Stone). He never personally use this knowledge(but connected to the 🔪 question, sometimes he transforms people in the Philosopher’s stone and uses the stone for healing extreme wounds either on himself, the people he cares or innocents...it’s his way to transforming a bad guy in a decent guy even in death...not exactly ethical and in fact he lives conflicted...but he didn’t find other solutions in lawless places...or where the laws are blurry(like in Dragon Age or the Witcher).

🌗 Early mornings or late nights? What do they spend their time doing during these hours?

He is a morning person...but he suffers from insomnia...and Penny loves to keep him awake at night ;) (if you know what I mean...and I mean cuddles mostly u.u)

👑 If your OC was made royal (or is royal) how would they use their power? Are they a good leader or bad? Do their subjects like them or is it ‘off with their head’? Do they enjoy being royal?

David hates politics, he likes to be influential but not having full political power, maybe for fear of doing something bad for the sake of a good cause, or the fear of being corrupted by power...but if he is destined anyway to be a royal, he would be a forgiving(but not stupid) king who always will take care of his nation/city first like in the song Cost of the Crown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMbbbopeVfc

💕 How is your OC like with physical affection? What are their boundaries? Do they enjoy being touched or is that a no-go? Is there any reason behind this?

David express love with his body! He rather shows love through actions rather than words. He loves hugs and kisses. It’s basically the most common way for him to actually communicate his feelings without feeling embarrassed or shy.

☁️ What’s something your OC wishes they could forget? Why is this? Or, what is something that your OC has forgotten? (or do both!)

Absolutely Nothing, he wants to remember correctly everything happened in his life. Jacob sealed his memories for a while and I wrote a lot about what kind of consequences it brings

David feeling like the last boy in the whole universe(between an absent father, a dead mother, a brother trapped in a vault, and the inability of living at Badea’s house) feeling alone and thinking he is an only child, tried to resurrect his mother, failed and got punished by God by losing his sense of touch….

Yeah, David learned the lesson of having a bad memory/forgetting things...

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

I’ll try a thing: 

< No shit! I swear he was that big! > he said still not believing to what he saw 

< Bullshit....> she answered with a sceptical tone with her arms folded under her chest

< I swear Rivaini! I just saw a guy tall almost like a Statue of a Paragon, with shoulders large enough that you could build a house on him, he was walking in the Hanged Man! >

< Oh-ho! >  gasped the woman 

< What? > he comes closer to the pirate with his voice filled my curiosity

< Did you see his face? > she asks meeting his gaze

< He was wearing a red hood but by the smell of it; either he was dead or he eats dark spawns for breakfast, I was scared myself: that guy was enormous! > he laughed at the end

Again Isabela gulped when the dwarf mentioned the hood when surprisingly a more joyful voice joined the conversation... 

< He was walking with a pretty blond lady that smelled like herbs and flowers? >

< How do you know it, Daisy? >an answer clearly shocked came out the mouth of Varric.

< I don’t see why Isabela looks so pale then...probably it’s just David and Penny..and he is not scary, he is like a mabari, big but with puppy eyes >

< I guess we didn’t meet the same guys, Kitten, I was in Denerim when I met them...when some thugs were walking to me, one of them grabbed that blonde's juicy ass...that red hooded man kill all of them...BAREHANDED, destroying half of the furniture of the Pearl! Trust me, Kitten, when I say that his gold eyes were like the eyes of an angry high dragon who just decided that you’re his next meal > she gulped like only remembering that bloodbath was enough to fuel some kind of nightmares 

< The David I met, spent a month playing with the kids of my clan, telling them funny stories of the place he came from while Penny was helping Marethari...He is like Hawke, you should be afraid him only if you’re his enemy...but he is cool, funny and reliable > narrated with her gentle voice

< Now I’m curious! Imagine what kind of stories could tell a dude that big! > commented the dwarf thing to hide his smile

< Mostly stories about in his adventures, like the time he rode a Griffin! That was a good story! > clapped her hands a couple of times joyful like she is asking for an encore.

< Ehm guys...less talking more survive-the-dungeoning! > coldly said Hawke while scratching his head.

❓ A random fact or short drabble! Or make up your own question to ask the OC!

He likes to Sing? What are his favourite songs? People like listening to him? Does he play some instrument?

1. what does music mean to them? what role does it play in their life?

He is not addicted to music but it helps him to calm himself…

2. if you were to hug them, what would they smell like?

Sometimes blood(when he just fought someone/something), but usually sweat and some ingredients (based on what he cooked recently…)

3. what’s their favorite food?

He loves seafood in general, but every kind of food that doesn’t make him feel bloated almost instantly is his favorite food

4. what’s their least favorite food?

Anything that smells weird like egg and anything fried(the taste of the oil kinda disgust him)

5. do they like nature? if they do, what’s their favorite natural setting (woods, beach, desert, lake, etc.)?

He loves every kind of natural setting but his favorites are beaches, mountains(he loves the scenery) and woods.

6. what’s their most prominent personality trait?

He is passionate, his emotions are quite reactive, either he is in love or flaming with rage, his emotions take almost the full control of himself before he can think rationally

7. what’s their mbti?

He is an ENTJ-T (made the test...but it may be slightly inaccurate because David is quite emotional...but he forces himself to be more ENTJ-T possible, because in his mind, because the Vaults and stuff, people need an ENTJ-T person...and he also need someone who is ENTJ-T, and he basically become one)

8. hogwarts house?

Gryffindor, but he wasn’t sorted, he was scouted by Minerva and then overiddens the sorting ceremony and talked directly to the teachers, and as a matter of fact he was the last one so while Rowan went to Ravenclaw(like he deserves u.u) before he could be sorted...then this negotiation with Dumbledore happened...still he regretted what he did, enough to asks, four years later to the Hat if he/she/it could “sort him/give their opinion about where David could be sorted at the time” and the Hat told him that many of his personality-traits came from his love and loyalty to the people he loves, while many of his accomplishment came from his hard-work attitude so David could have been either a Hufflepuff or a Slytherin like Jacob.

9. d&d alignment?

Chaotic Good.

Bonus(for @thereluctantherosrose mostly): 

If he was a character in DA:Origins he would be a Rogue with these specs: Berserker, Arcane Warrior, Duelist/Legionnaire Scout. (which doesn’t make sense, i know because basically i choose three different specializations from three different classes...but they describe David as a fighter, strong, decent with magic and quite acrobatic/agile/nimble)

In Dragon Age 2(and inquisition), he would be still be a Rogue with a personal skill tree based on martial arts.

In Pathfinder he would be an Unchained Monk or a Brawler.

10. if they were in a modern high school clique (jocks, goths, hipsters, geeks, etc.), what would it be? why?

Probably something in the middle, like the classic “rock and roll guy” maybe he was a jock for a while but his love for art (and specifically music) would have take over him.

11. tea or coffee?

Tea, he doesn’t like the taste of coffee

12. dusk or dawn?

Probably dusk...he is a morning person but he loves the colors of a twilight(they’re the same of a dawn but he can enjoy a twilight more than a dawn)

13. country or city?

Country or rural area of a city…

14. what do they do in their free time? do they have any hobbies?

Between quidditch, training, and his part-time job at the Reserve for magical creatures, mostly he tries to date Penny... with not perfect results...there isn’t much stuff at Hogsmeade.

15. do they like animals? if they do, which ones?

He loves everything but insects and reptiles...dragons are good though…

16. how are they in platonic relationships?

You mean friendly? If yes, he is the classic guy who tries to cheer you up with jokes and puns, with poor results...but you know that he cares about you when he tries to help you without you going to him for searching for help…

17. how are they in romantic relationships?

Quite passionate and mostly physical but usually he waits for a clear signal of consent, so until then he panics about “i want to kiss her, in public is it appropriate?She will like it?AAAAH! please help me to show you how much i love you!”

18. do they have any insecurities about themselves?

Many, mostly because his friends put a very high weight of expectations on him, so if he fails he feels like garbage.

19. what’s their favorite genre of book or movie (if they like to read or watch movies)?

Mostly fantasy and scifi, but Penny(in auror!AU) quite induced him(not planned) a love for muggle documentaries about history...but it’s easy to make him love him something if while you’re doing it, you’re also snuggling with him

20. what would their dream vacation look like?

Something very far away from home, like Hawaii or Soundermounts(in Kirkwall XD), the classic beach place with some trees/palms around

21. how many hours of sleep do they get on average?

it depends but in the game is stated that there are periods where MC/David doesn’t sleep at all, thanks to the stress and anything related to the vaults. In general David always wakes up at the dawn before anyone else in his dorm so he can go to train himself somewhere quiet and still be on time for breakfast and morning lessons.

22. what is their body shape? are they trim or tubby? tol or smol?

He starts as an average-small boy but with a toned body(typical body of someone who trains a lot) but during the years in Hogwarts he grows a lot.

Example:

23. if you had to pick five words/phrases (objects, places, weather, etc.) to describe your oc’s aesthetic, what would you pick?

i can post a couple of moodboards? it’s faster:

Thanks to @thereluctantherosrose and @cynicaljapanophile 

24. do they hold onto grudges?

He is not so forgiving, so yeah he tries to not hold grudges but at the same time, ruin your friendship with him once, and gaining his trust and love would be ten times harder than before. Mostly depends on the gravity of the act that makes David really mad(for example he will always hold a grudge over Kettleburn because the chimaera on a killing spree is the reason why he lost a limb during the fourth year, or he will be skeptical over someone if that person borrows his notes and bring them back ruined)

25. are they fiscally responsible? or would they prefer spending with wild abandon?

He likes to buy gifts and offering drinks but he is quite responsible with his money, thanks to his part-time job in the Reserve for Magical Creatures he learned quite soon the real value of money/currency.

26. what’s their favorite kind of weather?

Late summer but with a gentle breeze.

27. how old would they be if they didn’t know how old they are? (e.g., what’s their mental age?)

Probably 23, old enough to be responsible but young enough to understand kids and teenagers 

28. what’s their opinion of children? how are they around children?

David is the classic gentle guy that looks scary, he is quite kind and gentle with kids, once they overcame their fear for his serious and scarred face(because he doesn’t want to scare them by approaching them first)

29. what’s their sexual orientation?

Straight Demisexual 

30. what’s their favorite color?

Blue and Green(one of them should be the second most favorite...but he can’t decide)

31. what temperature would they prefer the room to be?

Around 20-25°C ( around 70°F )

32. how mannered are they? how proper to they act?

You mean while he is eating something fancy during a fancy night? He doesn’t get which fork is the right one for eating the right meal but at least he looks decent.

33. how do they dress?

His red coat over everything he will possibly wear, usually something that looks good but it’s also comfortable like a t-shirt, jeans(not too tight on the legs) and boots.

34. which season do they prefer? why?

Early Autumn why because it’s not too warm or too cold or too humid

35. what is their “morning ritual”?

Waking up at the dawn, going somewhere quiet to do some morning exercise(like jogging or weight lifting or both) going to have a shower, wear the school uniform(or his usual clothes once he will graduate) having/making breakfast.

36. what is their “nighttime ritual”?

In every after-hphm!AU David likes to spend some time talking with Penny, before going to sleep, usually they drink tea or chamomile take like an hour of random talking and chit-chatting until they feel sleepy enough to go to bed 

37. have they ever had a one-sided crush?

...Rakepick but in a “wow she is the first decent teacher in hogwarts” so it was the first time that David actually admired a teacher (and we all know how is going in hphm), so i consider it a crush but not out of love but out of admiration/respect...

38. do they like art? what form?

Mostly music, it helps to calm him down and he likes art in general, mostly watching paintings or photos...he is not an artist.

39. how do they read a book (if at all)? slowly, over the course of a few days, or within a few hours? do they sit, stand, lay down, all of the above?

just sitting, and he reads even 50-100 pages a day during HPHM, in his adulthood he is so busy that he reads like 25 pages a day(but it depends from his work-schedule)

40. do they have any recurring dreams/nightmares?

Yeah, mostly things about him being unable to save people he loves, or the horror of re-living the transmutation of his mother Gloria Denneth.

41. what would be their favorite subject in school? (e.g., English, Math, Science, History, Recess, etc.)

Science, PE and probably foreign-languages.

42. what physical features do they find attractive on other people?

Eyes and Lips mostly, he has a thing for redheads but Rakepick shocked him enough to discard that preference.

43. are they patient or impatient? what situations would make them feel one or the other?

Put a friend in danger and he would be impatient, put Penny in danger and he would go berserk like a beast. Take them as hostage for some ransom or waiting for some sort of trade and he would think to every possible step for saving them without giving you a single thing you asked.

44. what is their opinion of authority?

Power corrupts, Ministry of Magic is composed by neglecting and useless brain-dead morons and anyone who talks to them is wasting their time. Laws are useless if people can get away with it,

45. what is their opinion of tradition?

Some traditions are good, but evolutions and improvements of everything invented by human mind was trying and then succeeded to overcome traditions...so in the end Traditions are like a desert: rarely something grows from that.

46. are they into folklore and/or conspiracy theories? or do they think both are garbage?

He likes folklore but conspiracies must be proved...so he doesn’t have a positive or a negative opinion about both...he is neutral.

47. if they were to have a “happy place” they retreated to in their mind during stressful/boring situations, what would that place be? what would be in it?

Near a woods, a firm but gentle breeze is blowing and the leaves thanks to the wind make a sound that resemble the sound of the waves hitting the beach...so peaceful...

48. what is one value they hold higher than any other, in others and in themselves? (e.g., loyalty, intelligence, compassion, responsibility, etc.)

Loyalty, Empathy and Reliability 

49. what is(are) their love language(s)?

Kissing, Hugging, making food for you, and trying to meet every expectations you have for him.

50. what is their opinion of cheese?

“What a day…it’s the weekend but God said no! Snowstorm!

That jerk…it’s not enough removing my sense of touch for almost five years?!”

What a day…I supposed to hang out with my friends during this quiet period where for some reason or another, the Stone Curse took some weeks off but this bloody snowstorm came in and ruined my plans together with Barnaby’s flu…

[Flashback] This Morning…

< David! Thank god! You’re here! Where’s Barnaby? > yelled my boss at the Reserve for Magical Creatures while he is fast-walking to me, with his face that showed all his worries…

< Barny got flu…what’s happening? > I asked quietly while my hands were freezing in the pockets of my red coat.

< THIS BLOODY SNOWSTORM! EVERYTHING IS HELL! I NEED HELP AT THE RESERVE AND TODAY IS YOUR FRIEND’S TURN! > he kept yelling at me while grabbing me…

[End of Flashback]

“And before I knew it, I was kidnapped by my boss, during my day-off, ready to enjoy some hot soup at the Inn…and I spent it by repairing barns, lighting fires, and lamps, and cooking soup for the creatures while I was starving and freezing…and now it is late evening, still hungry and freezing…Barnaby, you owe me a day!”

< You’re too kind David…> I said, trying to verbally pat my own shoulder…

< As a matter of fact, this is what people expect from the Hero of Hogwarts…but people should learn to be grateful first... > said a voice while actually patting on my right shoulder

I happily turn so I can see her, blessed and feeling reassured to listen to her voice but then I remember in what situation I left…

< Sorry for… > I got interrupted before finishing the sentence by her index finger gently pressing on my lips…

< Like it was your fault for being dragged to work at the Reserve during your day-off, or for Barnaby having a flu…it was funny though, a big guy like you, being taken and pulled by the collar of your coat to work, it was like watching a baby walking a dragon on a leash! > she smiles and laughs a little while she covers her mouth during that short laugh

I smile scratching the back of my head and checking around before meeting her breathtaking blue eyes, I still can’t believe how can she deal with these situations where I end up postponing our dates…and still choosing to stay with me: She could have anyone and she chose me over everyone, Penny Haywood your existence fuels my happiness!

< Wake up, love! > she snaps her fingers a couple of times laughing joyful

<Ehg! Sorry, I was thinking if I did everything at the reserve…> what an excuse, now she will think you’re a workaholic! You Moron!

<…and even if you didn’t, it’s your boss’ problem now…unless he begins to pay you in days-off from work…and in that case, I'll be happy to help you to negotiate with him >  another laugh but this time I actually laugh a little

< Only if I could spend all of them with you and nobody else… > Fantastic, now she’ll surely think that you are jealous and possessive…i can’t believe I said it!

She blushes a little < It sounds like heaven > she simply caress my right cheek for a couple of seconds <…but first: let’s go to dinner! You worked hard during a snowstorm since this morning and you deserve a meal…this time it’s on me, my love! > and suddenly she begins to push me to the Three Broomsticks Inn until I start to walk and only then she grabs my right arm smiling while walking next to me…

Who is the most affectionate?

David is the more passionate, Penny the most affectionate, basically, they’re both the most affectionate but in slightly different ways. Mostly David shows that he cares by preparing food or acts of love(hugs and kisses) Penny is more like “Okay, our friends are giving to much of their problems to handle, i’m gonna kidnap you and have you all for me for the next two hours” (no NSFW-contents intended).

Big spoon/Little spoon?

Penny is the little spoon, i think she likes using David as a personal pillow, except summer or winter(David’s metallic left arm can be quite cold in winter and sticky because the sweat in summer), sometimes though, David is lazy enough to put his head on her lap(usually when he doesn’t want to study or he feels lazy) or her stomach(when he has the “little spoon” feeling).

Most common argument?

David and Penny are quite similar so they both get mad on each other for the same reasons: saying Yes to people too much(and too often), not saying No to people enough to have time to rest, their excessive selflessness(also similar, they’re soo busy in taking care of their friends or their junior Gryffindors/Hufflepuffs, the Vaults and their own homework).

Favorite non-sexual activity?

In Hogwarts: Everything that doesn’t involve Vaults, Curses or angry magical creatures, usually just dating somewhere private(like stargazing out of curfew or in Jacob/David’s room)

AurorDavid!AU(also known as “ and Oh my god!, they are roommates!”): Their free night together and watching random muggle documentaries on TV while snuggling and cuddling(some nights are not so SFW)

Cursebreakers!AU: Mostly after prepared everything for the next day(usually after dinner) they enjoy a couple of hours together randomly talking about everything may jump in their mind, while drinking something(usually tea or chamomille).

Who is most likely to carry the other?

Kind of clichè but is a fact that David is physically strong(I mean, we are talking about a workaholic who wakes up at the dawn, and runs somewhere quiet and has his own morning routine that basically is a full course of exercises and gymnastic, from jogging, flexing to intense shadowboxing) so yeah, Magic can make levitate people but David’s strength can carry anyone like it’s nothing.

What is their favourite feature of their partner’s?

David would start a riot if Penny will not smile(before the celestial ball, I headcanon that David will be like “Penny is smiling, today will be a good day” like he makes predictions about the day based on her face when she shows up for breakfast XD).

I headcanon Penny loves David’s eyes, that passionate amber/gold eyes that express his passion and determination. But if you ask her if she likes David’s body and his scars, she just blushes a lot(during HPHM at least).

What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?

David: The first spark of love is when she told him about Scarlett(third year if you guys don’t remember), it may be weird, creepy or horrible but in that moment, David, usually so focused on his own dramas(having his mother tormenting him as a ghost and as a boggart basically tormenting him) discovered that she is not only the girl who helped him in the Ice Vault(willingly) but she is a person, with a background, she is someone who even if she is living some very bad moments, alone, she kept smiling in public, basically David stopped to be so self-centred (even though at that time he has every reason to focus on himself because his family dramas, for more Infos click here but it’s a long text-wall without even mentioning his super needy friends). He got conscious of his feelings during the fourth year(Dementor-side quest), until then is just like “Where is Penny now? Should i ask her help for this potion? Or share my fav-sandwiches with her?”

Penny: The first spark of love is not much later than those moments(during the werewolves side-quest that i headcanon that it happens during year three)she yelled his name instinctively, and he was there, fighting so furiously, like a beast, only for her safeness, but a big part of her feelings came out during the Celestial Ball(i headcanon that David will get his sense of touch after fought the acromantula and the Celestial Ball is more like a “End Year Ball”, in how David is so willing to help her without ranting or whining even when he just got recently his sense of touch(and she knows because David basically re-gained with his own Alchemy in front of the teachers and his closest friends and thanks to Penny making an obvious point that David never thought about it about how gaining it back) and he is not totally used yet, and yet during the dancing he is so delicate even with his metallic left arm, and the after-Ball where he is bringing her back to her dorm basically carrying her on his back.

Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?

David to Penny: Honey/Sweetheart or Milady(when he feels flirty), Genius(She came up with the solution to regaining David’s sense of touch, i mean it was obvious but David was soo focused on the problem to forgot to consider to give away the Truth about Alchemy for his sense of touch, after all, God actually made that exchange in reverse, during the first human transmutation of David). During the After-hphm era but in the HPHMxDragon Age, David learns the elvhen language and she begins to call her Vhenan( = Heart).

Penny to David: Love(when she feels caring/flirty), Davy(short version of David, mostly when she is begging him, mostly when David is giving her a massage or something very enjoyable but she doesn’t have time for actually enjoying it), Hero(jokingly, even knowing that David doesn’t like being defined as hero of Hogwarts), Gryff(like Gryffindor, because of his hair and eyes that are like the colours of Gryffindor’s house)

Who worries the most?

Which one of them has some sort of passion for fighting creatures and beasts and having adventures? David...

So Penny is the one who worries the most(even though David is strong and fast enough to survive every time)

Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?

Both have a good memory but Penny is slightly superior to David

Who initiates kisses?

In Hogwarts, mostly Penny.

David is just too polite to just kiss out of nothing, but he is the one who initiates hugs, kinda feel like everything he does, it’s inappropriate so he kinda read her mind searching for consent(this, during HPHM, after HPHM he learned when it’s a good time and when it’s not, and when it’s a good time, he goes for some kisses and hugs)

Who reaches for the other’s hand first?

Penny is more for hand-holding, David for hugs and cuddling.

Who kisses the hardest?

David, after he is in the right atmosphere, is known to be quite passionate, so Penny puts the mood and David goes with her flow.

Who wakes up first?

Like I said, David wakes up at the dawn for his morning routine, every day except weekends(during and after Hogwarts)

Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?

Penny basically forces David to stay in bed more by sleeping either on him of wrapping her arms and legs around him.

Who says I love you first?

Penny. 

David is most like “I don’t like words because usually, i can’t trust them, i know that you’re honest and i’m happy, so let me show you my love for you by baking a heart-shaped cake with some cheesy compliment written on it” but after some time together he actually said it(it wasn’t S.Valentine, just a random day when David just took enough courage to actually said it”

Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)

David is the chef, and mostly in the notes is said something about the food, like “watch it, in this lunch there may be something you don’t like, because we ran out of the usual ingredient, please take care”

David is functional, he shows his love for you by showing interest in your life/health/everything.

Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first?

Bold of you to assume that they need to tell to someone(after the date-sidequest is more possible that Tonks has prepared a party for celebrating the new couple xD) but actually Penny tells stories of David(it’s stated at least with first-year Bea) to the point that in her family are not surprised to know that they’re a couple. David is so obvious about it(he can keep a decent poker-face for serious things like fighting and death-defying adventures...but when he is happy/in love/enthusiastic, you can read him like an open book) so Badea’s family knows almost instantly.

What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

David’s biological father: Don’t care.

Jacob: My Gryffboy, he is finally an adult *making a fake sad face trying to not laugh and start to make jokes about David*

David’s foster father: Good for him, she seems a girl worth fighting for (he’s trying to look cool and epic but he is quite happy)

David’s foster mother: OH MY GOD, MY BABYBOY IS IN LOVE, LET ME TAKE 9999999999999999999 PHOTOS OF HIM SMILING TO HIS GIRLFRIEND!

Friends: [Insert here what every Romione shippers think about any Romione’s moments]/FUCKING FINALLY!

Mr.Haywood: FINALLY! I HAVE A SON! AND HE LIKES TO GO FISHING(MAYBE)!

Mrs.Haywood: Break my daughter heart and i will choke your with your own intestines(She knows David’s biological mother and her ancestors and one of them was a dark wizard/witch, and she is not happy about it...even more after discovering that David’s biological mother cursed him while she was giving birth to him)

Bea Haywood: I’m not sure if i’m mad at her for getting the best guy of her generation or happy because David Fucking Denneth(he will change his surname in Haywood soon as they get married) is going to be my future brother-in-law and i’m going to make everyone else die in jealousy when I'll tell them that my future Brother is the hero of Hogwarts!

Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?

David likes to invite her to waltz from time to time. 

Penny likes to force him to dance something more energetic, but David suuucks in disco/club-dancing(but at least Penny laughs a little, still worth it XD)

Who cooks more/who is better at cooking?

David is talented in cooking like Penny is talented in Potions, AfterHPHM she learned at little, but David can make fancy meals like it’s the easiest thing ever.

Who comes up with cheesy pick-up lines?

David trained himself with Tonks, he is not perfect but sometimes he can actually say some decent pickup lines but most of the times are just weirdly funny. 

Penny is more talented in flirting in general.

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times?

David doesn’t want to seem a pervert or a creep, is soo scared to lose her...so usually is Penny to take charge. But during their adulthood, David learns the “do and don’t” and he is quite decent.

Who would sing to their child back to sleep?

Penny with normal baby-songs, David basically sings love songs in a soothing voice, imagine a big guy full of scars everywhere, singing Nothing Else Matters by Metallica but lullaby-style.

What do they do when they’re away from each other?

David is like a sad doggo(influenced by his animagus form: a German Shepherd), makes noises with the mouth closed, and sings love songs in a depressed tone

Penny, mostly panic, because either David is about to be involved in some trouble, or he is already in some trouble. She knows that David is strong and all but he is not immortal(this is basically a good part of her character arc during my idea of the Battle of Hogwarts but with HPHM’s characters)

one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart

From AfterHPHM: Either David or Penny just had a rough day, and one of them just came back home and they feel so tired and awful that literally push their face on the partner’s back/neck(It depends bc David is like 1,90m and Penny is 1,75m) and mumbling something “Call the world, say that for today i’m done” and the partner would prepare a bath and a fancy but light meal(something that doesn’t make you feel bloated or like weighing a ton) and go to sleep together with a lot of cuddling and kisses.

one headcanon about this OTP that mends it

24If they move in together, when does it happen?  What’s that transition like?

in the Auror!AU, soon as David(and his whole generation) graduates he tries to find a decent place near the Ministry because he is applying for being Auror and Penny of course is going to join him thanks to the Floo Network she can basically enjoy her job as substitute teacher in Potion(so Harry’s generation can have, time to time, a few weeks without Snape during their school year). The place is in Muggle London, so they can enjoy movies, documentaries and tv-shows in general. The transition is not worth mention, David always was quite independent during summers, he could take a journey on foot alone around Great Britain(mostly because the education from his father is quite like a survivalist, so he can hunt or find some part-time job for money, quite brutal education but it made him free and self-responsible for his own actions…obviously he doesn’t travel alone during summers…but if he wanted he could do it at that time) so the transition problem was the coexisting with Penny and her routine(/work schedule) while while he tries to have his routine(work-schedule).

In the Cursebreaker!AU(based on @lycopenedishere ‘s fanfic but remixed because the recent events in the main story), David will basically quit on Great Britain and everything related to Hogwarts, so he chooses a job that makes him travel a lot so he could work on his traumas, Penny joins him mostly because she loves him and really wanted to understand how big is the world magic community(something related to some stories David told her). In this AU their relationship evolves faster than in Auror!AU because they usually shares more adventures and more occasions to bond. Even in the AU written by lycopenedishere(where Rakepick is their mentor/senior cursebreaker) they always share small rooms with small beds for saving money  because they travel a lot all around the world. So at the end in Cursebreaker!AU they’re moving place to place so often that they’re used quite soon and there is no transition at all because they don’t have the time to enter in the mentality of “This is MY place now and it will be for a looong time”, they just do their own things.

30.Do they participate in the Second Wizarding War?  Or do they keep to themselves?  How do they each feel about it?

In Auror!AU, David and Jacob are mostly there, Penny is more like their healer, not that is needed(because i suck and decided that David+Jacob = Apocalypse). David feels like it’s just his job, not much different from the usual mood during the years in Hogwarts, constantly on edge, stressed, angry, but cold, a cold rage, someone who is silent but is freezing with rage(remember, Young/Teen-David was the classic angry and loud boy, Adult Auror David is like the classic war-veteran who knows how to hide his fangs), Penny before the final war is quite like her mother, casting defensive charms and spells, enchanting clothes, quite nevrotic but understandable, after all we’re talking about Voldemort and after the first war he left a huge scar in the mind of everyone…so while David is “in the frontlines” of the war, Penny will use her talents to brew potions and heal people, for a while their house it’s like a small secret hospital. Truth is, David can fight because he knows that his marvelous divine Wife(Penny) has his back and she can focus on help and heal people because she knows that David is doing his very best for solving the situation. They show us to the final battle but mostly they’re both busy dealing with death eaters and Greyback(David will inflict the death sentence on the werewolf, because you know…because the side-quest David has a grudge over Greyback for scarring him on his body and his face…) the real problem…is Tonks a part of them quite died with her….

1. Who is your MC preferred significate other?

MC(possibily my MaleGryffindorMC/DavidxPenny) for tons of reason

In general they both wear a mask with people, MC is basically the Hated #1, and Penny wears the “Popular Girl” mask(she told us/stated that she doesn’t like so much attention but she use it at her own advantage) and at the end of the day they’re both quiet persons.

Outside the canon moments, David finds Penny a person with a great empathy, a good sense of humor(while David has an absurd sense of humor based on what he deals everyday with the Vaults…so if you don’t know him, you can find him weird), also she cares deeply, (and thanks to JC, MC seems to care a lot about Penny even if you don’t fancy her, someone may hate me for being grateful to JC for this)

9. What song(s) describes their relationship with one another?

It’s more like a playlist: HERE  if you want directly listen (the most important ones are bolded)

- What I Believe(By Skillet)

- Comatose(by Skillet)

- Amaranthine(by Amaranthe)

- Over and Done(by Amaranthe)(not sure if i got the real meaning of the song but is a good song)

- Endlessly(by Amaranthe)

- Nothing Else Matters(by Metallica)

- Still Into You(by Paramore)(but in this case i chose NateWantsToBattle Feat.Amalee because is a duet)

- Be Somebody(by Thousand Foot Krutch)

The main point of all these songs is that they love each other, and they’re happy together to the point to forget about their friends

12. When did they have their first kiss? 

To me(for now) the date-sidequest happens before Bill’s Farewell Part(Y5CH33) also i kinda headcanon Penny’s birthday is in summer(around the 24th August) and for her birthday her parents take her to some relatives who live near a beach(i don’t know where because i’m not from England) but for the same reason David(his birthday is the 23rd but based on the adults’work-schedule they usually celebrate when they have a day-off or something) is there with his foster-family(and probably Rowan, and based on some incompleted headcanons Badea or Liz may be there too because David’s foster-family is either Badea’s or Liz’s, i need more infos about them before i complete the headcanon). The thing is that both families will celebrate together, Mr.Haywood would be in awe about David because they share an interest in fishing(mostly because with David metallic left arm, he can’t swim anymore in salt water so he is trying to have an hobby related to the ocean/sea like fishing), Mr.Denneth(David’s biological father) will be in awe because yay Mr.Haywood is muggle!(is stated in the game btw). So while they’re celebrating the night comes and finally! David and Penny are alone while everyone is going to sleep…they’re just stargazing like during their date, but this time they’re already handholding, and they’re near enough, and they’re just talking, but more they talk and more near they are to an important point that they need to talk about: Their relationship, What they’re to each other, some romantic words here and some cheesy funny lines these and before they knew, Penny is sitting on David’s lap and kissing him while holding his head, the kiss is long enough that even someone trained like David is breathless, and they’re only smiling before David trying to calm himself over the hurricane of emotions is feeling(like joy, happiness, fear to ruin everything, anxiety about what will probably happen after this kiss, etcetera) say some weird but funny puns, she understands him enough to feel flattered and go for some comeback puns about David’s achievements and they’ll go around like that between kisses and puns until late midnight when they go back to their places with a big smile on their faces…and a lot to explain to their parents because they’re awfully late.

17.Do they get jealous easy? And if so, who?

Both of them are jealous but for different reasons

David is jealous because Penny is quite popular as usual BUT he trusts her enough so he never made a scene, just asks some infos, mostly out of curiosity(but he dies inside over jealousy until she comes back). He never made a scene either in private or public, but time to time he asks her to some date somewhere quiet.

Penny is jealous because their friends are sooooo neeeedy and always wanted something from David, her kind of jealousy is related to “I want spend more time together” totally reasonable but sometimes she loses her patience and just “kidnaps” David somewhere quiet (there is a fanfic about it, but it includes nsfw so…i will not link it) David really understands her(i mean they love each other, David is very irrational when Penny is involved…i mean that for her he will do everything to make her happy) but usually he just explains that he takes care of their friends soon as possible so he could happily focus on her. After the first time that this situation/argument happened, they both try to compromise between MC saying no more often and Penny helping MC to fix their friends’ problems.

22.What do they think of each other’s choice in career and how supportive are they?

David supports any possible choice in career of Penny, as matter of fact he pushed her to let her focus in studying for her dream job first, so even if the relationship would end she still have enough competences to be independent and have a decent life(Bonus1: David is more than willing to be a househusband if she wants to focus on working) (Bonus2: David gave the same speech to all his friends)

Short Version: David would support her even if her dream job is being the ruler of the galaxy 

Penny on the other side in Aurors!AU(where David and Jacob are unorthodox Aurors) is happy for him but she isn’t that supportive, and i don’t blame or shame her, after all the problems derived from the Vaults, David still choose to be a fighter(this is what Hogwarts wanted from him and they got what they wanted), to be some sort of “legalized hero”(probably Harry Potter had the same thoughts about it) with all the risks he may be involved, like injuries, tight schedule, death…

In the Cursebreakers!AU we have Penny choosing the same profession as David but still focusing on potions, and be her supporter, also making most of the talks/negotiations with customers thanks to her social abilities, she is happy to be in an eternal journey with him, feels like a honeymoon when they don’t have customers or people searching for them. She wasn’t that supportive at first because she feared he could become like Patricia Rakepick but he will be more like Geralt of Rivia, while Patricia was selfish and chasing challenges, David is a cursebreaker for the sake of solving problems without being tied by rules or laws. Basically Cursebreaking for the sake of cursebreaking. (and let’s not talk about my Cursebreaker!AU where David and Penny are in the Dragon-Age’s universe…is pretty much the same but with more stress because they’re trying to fix some Eluvians only for the sake to have at least the choice to go back home if they want)

Recently i’m developing the idea that the perfect job(and i mean, zero stress, not much problems, some risks to be injured but not high as being an Auror or a Cursebreaker) for David is being a Magizoologist, basically it would mean that David will work in some habitat for magical creatures and take care of them…but i’ve still to figure out how insert his relationship(even if i already know, that Penny would love and 100% support this choice, because it would give David the needed time to heal from all the dramas and psychological scars he got during Hogwarts).

31.If one of them were to die, how would the surviving party react?  Who would take it the worst?

I think that by dying you mean “killed”, right? So no natural reasons (like old age or an heart attack or something alike)

It’s hard to say, i think that both of them would take quite badly, but in different ways, David will go full rage/revenge, he doesn’t have anymore reasons to stay quiet, he will go crazy and depressed, if they have kids, those are the only reasons he would not die(literally) by heartbreak.

Penny would probably keep it inside, she’ll suffer like hell but it would be a silent pain, no screaming, unless she is seeing him dying in front of her own eyes, but at the funeral she will be rather cold or inexpressive, she will probably like Minerva, devoted to her job(and her kids) for some years before actually talk about him or being social like before.

Both of them they will not marry again, David wants only Penny and Penny wants only David.

32.Have they ever said anything hurtful to the other during an argument?  If so, how do they go about apologizing?

Aside from the basic game? (i mean, Penny mentioned Jacob a few times in the worst moments possible, when i’ve read those lines, i felt like someone poked me with a needle, like it was slightly painful but mostly annoying). 

Not much, they argue but they stay on point, without insults or “verbally backstabbing each other” until the other one is agreeing with them. 

1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?

All began with Penny’s interest in adventures(like in the game), but what really started the relationship was Penny noticing that even if David acted like he didn’t care about anyone, he still does nice things for people, even he gets mad, tries only to point out the facts about the problems people is bringing to him. He may be cynical, blunt, straightforward with his criticism but still tries to be nice, and aside from his seniors, the younger students are quite fond of him(but still slightly intimidated because of his scarred face, but they admire him) mostly because he explains things straight to the point, rather than repeating the notions in the books like a parrot. By David side i can say that David began to notice her more when he learned about Scarlet, which may sound weird and creepy, but David was dealing with nightmares and with “I’m the most depressed person in the whole universe” kind of mentality, so knowing about Scarlett, and how Penny was shocked about her, put David in a new mentality, less self-centred, and with time they both noticed nice/lovely things that both do during the lessons or clubs and the love just sparked, and those little cute moments brought to the point of asking each other to be their date to the Celestial Ball and the date to Madam Puddifoot.

11. Do they have any inside jokes?

I add that there are many inside jokes about David and dogs(David’s animagus form is a German shepherd), like being called Good Boy or throwing him things, so he can catch them with the mouth.

16. Jealous at all?

Updated version: they aren’t at Yandere-levels of jealousy but they both want more time for each other so their jealousy/possessiveness is more like “That’s IT! We’re going somewhere quiet and doing something happy because i miss you so much that i’m in a very bad mood!”

27. What makes you excited about their relationship?
