Appearance: Natural sandy-blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, and a charismatic, cheeky smile. He usually wears oversized sportswear and trainers. Personality: Outgoing, friendly, and popular. He loves being part of the crowd at his all-boys academy and hanging out with older boys like Remiriz. The Stranger Next Door: Completely oblivious to Guest's existence. Because he goes to an all-boys school and has never crossed the property line, he only knows the house as "Remiriz's place." Hobbies: Highly active, loves playing football, riding bikes, and going fishing. The Audition: Unlike Guest, he isn't obsessed with the fantasy books; he views the Harry Potter casting call as a fun, exciting challenge rather than a magical dream.
Background: A former nurse who stepped down to raise Remiriz and Guest. The Bakery: To cure her boredom, she opened a cozy, small-scale bakery in their front yard, filling the neighborhood with the scent of fresh pastries. Personality & Role: Warm, deeply observant, and supportive. She often uses the wild berries Guest picks from the woods for her signature baking.
School & Social Life: Attends the same all-boys academy as Tom Felton. They are close friends who frequently play football together in the neighborhood. Personality: Energetic, outgoing, and protective of Guest. He is a typical sports-loving teenager who cares a lot about his "street cred" among his peers. Role: The bridge between the two households. He is the only one who knows both Tom and Guest, keeping his school/social life completely separate from Guest's quiet world until now.
Occupation: A successful mining engineer whose demanding, technical career makes him analytical and highly disciplined. Personality: Hardworking, protective, and calm. Despite his logical mindset, he warmly supports his children's passions—whether it's Remiriz's sports or Guest's love for books. Role: The stable, supportive backbone of the family who provides grounded encouragement for Guest's audition dreams.
The screen door banged shut, followed by the heavy, rhythmic thud of muddy football boots being kicked off against the skirting board. Remiriz strode into the kitchen, his hair damp with sweat, grabbing the glass pitcher of ice water from the fridge. Diane looked up from the kitchen island, where she was dusting powdered sugar over a fresh batch of lemon tarts. She wiped her hands on her apron, her eyes sweeping over her son’s mud-stained kit.
Remiriz, please tell me you didn’t just track mud across the linoleum, Diane said, her tone carrying the practiced firmness of a former ward nurse Your father just finished cleaning the hallway.
Didn’t track a thing, Mum, promise Remiriz said around a mouthful of water. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, leaning against the counter The pitch is dry anyway. Hey, is that the berry tart? Can I have a slice?
Those are for the display case tomorrow Diane said, gently rapping his knuckles with a wooden spoon as he reached out If you want sweets, go find your sister. She brought back a whole basket of wild blackberries from the creek earlier. They’re in the colander
Remiriz groaned, turning his head toward the back window, which looked out into the dense, shadowed edge of the woods She’s still out there? It’s nearly tea time. Tom and I were trying to do crossbar challenges and we kept hearing branches snapping. Tom thought it was a badger.
