THEMES EXPLORED: testing loyalties, political games, ambition is the enemy of success  

work husband 

british ambassador, rookwood. related to augustus rookwood (suggested relationship: father-son) the most british guy in the room. political acumen wears a suit and tie and can calm a room with azure eyes. take all the charisma and amplified dominance of james bond but leave out the penchant for violence. diplomacy is the key to sustainable power. polite, unhurried, composed—he’s the fair and just king in the fairy tales you read. but an elitist, an extreme purist; think king bradley from fma and how he has to keep his tongue and dignity as he treats with those he believes lesser than himself. his views on halfbloods and muggleborns are on the same scale. but you’d never guess it because he’s so likeable?? and dignified?? and his rap sheet is all governmental-centric. no wonder he’s so chummy with the minister. and his family legacy is, by all intents and purposes, perfect. probably a part of this as gluttony.  fc: daniel craig

junior lawmaker 

junior lawmaker. possibly related to broderick bode. probably the most kinetic figure in the room—he just doesn’t know how to sit still. this one is a critical thinker, bides his time, difficult to irritate. debates are child’s play. tomes of law and history books are for light reading. but these are the things that sustain him, this is where he finds the most thrill. picking people’s brains is habitual, he’s like a kid in a candy store when he goes to court or is in the same room with govt officials. he wants to impress, but more than that, he thrives on wisdom and a real trooper for progressive governance and modernity. eying to become chief warlock one day. he’ll digress to the outcome justifying the means, doesn’t mean he endorses it. might feel nauseous at the sight of blood. he’s the guy you ask really specific questions that no one but him will 100% know the answers to. also he’s become the office’s #1 sweetheart. can’t knock that grin off his face. low-working class background. he’s got something to prove.  fc: charles melton 

okay gang this has gone thru several meditation sessions and a lot of thought, a lot of omissions and we’ve arrived down to these two. hope i made the right call, let’s get cracking 

plot points and outcomes: alright so the basic of this plot is quite straightforward. at a crossroads, you either do the right thing or do the easy thing (some would argue is the only right thing). for the purpose of this plot, my character bedalia diggory (belle) is their main bridge. she’s the work wife (i mean, private secretary) of the british ambassador and has taken the junior lawmarker under her wing with regards to office work and laws and legalities. by that i mean charles has asked to shadow her, learn from her expertise on how to navigate the political waters by being exposed to the behind-the-scenes of the british ambassador, while still doing his main job! (he also happens to idolize daniel)  

so the plot progression would ideally arrive where the british ambassador’s ties to the de are revealed—and subsequently these two (one of whom is his work wife! for goodness’ sake) will make a choice of doing the right thing or doing the easy thing. at this point in time the familiarity within this lot would ideally have swayed alot of daniel’s earlier impressions of charles, especially given his blood purity. so playing off each other in a professional and personal manner will also determine how daniel handles this unveiling. it’s a BIG deal, and if it’s too early an unmasking, charles and belle will become dispensable. unless they sacrifice their integrity and keep their families safe by keeping their mouths shut.
