Application for Henry Winter, 'The Secret History'

(Cleared with Camilla-mun!)


The tall, dark-haired man strides through a door, looking down at his watch. The wire-rimmed glasses he wears glint as he reaches the middle of the room and lifts his head, checking where he is.

When Henry Winter speaks, it is in a cool voice.

’I do hope I’m not late.’



1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

Bel Paese. I like Italian cheeses; preferred them over the more readily available, in any case. The name itself means ‘beautiful country’—and cheddar, what does that mean? Nothing. It’s named after the village where it was made. Lack of imagination never made a good cheese.*his mouth quirks slightly here, at the absurdity of the questions; but match absurdity with absurdity*

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Bu--? Ah. Barney. I’m afraid I don’t hold a particular hatred for either; is this a failing at this place?

3. What time is it where you are?

*he spreads his arms wide; he is rather intimidating in this pose, it would seem* Here? I have no idea where here is. But my own watch says it is five pm, so I will agree with that for the time being.

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.

*Henry looks vaguely disgusted* No. No. I don’t think this question lends itself to any sensible answer.

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.


‘Live Forever’. Too often drunks and layabouts really do believe that; at least we’ll know where they are, drawn by the shining lights, perhaps.

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.


*here, he squints, pulling his glasses off* Fra--? Oh, no, Fred. How could I possibly answer? I don’t know any man referenced in the question.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.

Maybe you’ve missed a few too many deadlines; perhaps you’ve not anticipated the workload. But it’s more than likely you’re finding it too difficult; even with challenging amounts of work, if you are competent you should find time to do it.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Why, how can a man prove that? Even if I were to answer, all you would have is my word. Would that really be enough?

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe.

*here, he really does look disgusted* I did not anticipate this sort of question. All I have is my watch, and my wallet. *Henry opens his wallet, and, after getting a photograph from it, throws it contemptuously to the floor* Find something you want in there.

"... so chaos is supposed to act like you expect?" She huffs and straightens, flipping her hair over her shoulders. "I'd suppose you'd prefer I act like my mother." She clears her throat and blinks,slowly -- her eyes are a dark sworl of black, and her voice reaches into four tones, a discordant and angry sound.

"Behold, pathetic mortal, for I am chaos, come to destroy all that you hold dear, tear down traditions, and have a hotdog."

She blinks again and shakes off the voice, and giggles. "No I haven't. You confuse nature and chaos all the time, silly mortals. Don't blame Ceres on me. She does nothing but talk about her daughter, that's her problem."

"Maybe I will, and maybe I won't. You're fun to play with and seem to have money. I like those kind of people." She reaches out to pet a button.

"I bet you throw up like, projectile," she says, with undisguised glee.

"... oh please." She snickers. "You think a goddess of chaos cares about vomit? Spew away, buddy! C'mon! Spew! Spew! SPEW!"

"Aw, boringpants. All right, boringpants goes into the boring house." She waves a hand. "Ravenclaw. Welcome in, daaaaaaaaaahling!" She makes a dive in to mash her lips against his, or, failing that, lick any available appendage.

She narrows her eyes and holds up a finger. "I'll lick you yet," she promises, and flees the room, cackling.
