{main theme/narrative: expectations vs fate’s whims, the unpredictable nature of life (and the greater plan)} (ctrl + v)
- purpose of a partner, people in relationships [nurture] each-other to be better and [grow]
- individuality, being palatable vs being yourself [roses vs fruits & veg, herbal plants][beauty, artsy, classy vs practical, messy]
- gratefulness and generosity, overcoming despair and being thankful for what you have, helping unselfishly
conflict: *initial dislike, different life-paths, star-crossed (blood differences/race differences, family), being different (muslim), academic rivalry, secrets…
vague outline/paths:
- herbology class? - visiting each-other’s home for homework? raising a plant together? - 6th + 7th Yr
- patronus - duckling/swan? - Post-1
- takes place over 2/3 years? (6th - 1 yr post-graduation?)
- entanglement with marauders, point with mare to explore individuality, setting up a group for ramadan - 6th Yr
- making friends with year-mates, offering refuge to rex - include dorcas and caradoc (+ andy, dora and ted) as ones to provide home? - 6th + 7th Yr
- dirk has binge-restrict
sixth year plots:
- (something that disrupts their ‘perfect’ lives) - academic rivalry, shared detentions, begrudging respect (and a mystery they solve together - blood-purist bullying?)
- (filler, setting up friend group) - meeting with snake lot, friendship with rex, friendship with lily and mary and alice
- (something that disrupts strong images of eachother) - articles by daisy due to encouragement, leads to suspicions about dirk, mixed with ramadan plot-line (and family issues?)
inbetween:
- visiting each-other for herbology work, disapproval from parents but lack of care and lots of chivalry
seventh year plots:
- dirk is out of pic for a while due to blood-purist attack, returns guarded, meanwhile daisy makes closer mates with snake gang
- get rex outside of family to live with dorcadoc
post-one plots:
- staying with dorcadoc, fighting death eaters, getting separated, getting married
- gaining custody of baby neville
each plot-line will likely be 2/3 chapters - beginning, middle and end
