play by: Darren Criss
features: Noel's hair is black, short and curly. He keeps it gelled back when at work, lets it loose when off of work. His eyes are hazel, though they look brown in the dark and have green and golden brown highlights in bright light. They are framed by dark lashes.
build: Not too thin, not too heavy. Muscular but not overly so. Fairly short, stands at 5'6".
distinctions: Has a thin scar on his left arm resulting from a fight with his father, and another he got in school from a potions accident. His smile is another one; mostly because he's so serious most of the time, it doesn't get seen unless he really cares for you.
style: Noel dresses like an upper-class young man, though he prefers to dress in jeans and t-shirts normally. At work he wears wizard's robes and suits, but around his family and girlfriend he dresses more casually. As for jewelry, Noel usually wears a watch and a silver ring his grandfather gave him before he passed away, but other than that he usually doesn't wear it. He does wear glasses for reading, but more for eyestrain than because his eyes are bad.

mirror of erised: For his father to come to his senses so they can be a family again
veritaserum: Noel is bisexual; Though he loves Jessica he does get attracted to men, though he'd never leave her.
patronus: Cheetah; the birth of his niece Alyssa and holding her for the first time.
dementor: His father holding a knife on him during one of their arguments. It was when his father wanted to kick Renee out for becoming pregnant and Noel stood up for her. It turned physical quickly and Noel ended up against the wall with his father's knife to his throat.
overview: Noel's proud and can be a bit of a snob, but it's not genuine. He's actually a decent guy but doesn't show it unless you get to know him well. He can be a jerk sometimes, but to friends he's an absolute sweetheart, and if he snaps at you he'll come back immediately after and apologize for it. He's a gentleman when it comes to women; he'll hold doors open for them and hold chairs for them, but he has a girlfriend so he won't go too far with them. He can be cold and reserved at times, mostly at work since he's careful not to bring attention to the fact that he hates the state the wizarding world is in at the moment, and refuses to let anyone he doesn't know well into his personal life since he doesn't want them to know he holds no alliance to Voldemort or the Minister.

At home, he's very laid back and is usually either playing music, playing with his niece or cuddling with his girlfriend. The home isn't as stressful since his father left, so it's a place where he can let his hair down so to speak. He can be a bit of a dork, and teases his sister just like he used to when they were kids. He loves his 3 year old niece and spoils her rotten, much to her mother's dismay. He and Jessica still have a very playful and flirty relationship even though they have been together since they were seventeen. Noel identifies as bisexual, but he's close enough to Jessica that he'd never consider leaving her for a man, and is indeed actually scared of losing her.

overview: Noel Andrew Foster was born to Peter and Vanessa Foster on June 21st in East Setauket, NY. His mother was a pureblood American witch, having attended the school in Salem when she was a girl. His father was British, and was an alumni of Hogwarts, also having pureblood parents. When he graduated, he moved to Washington DC and worked for the American equivalent of the Ministry of Magic as a British ambassador. He met Vanessa and they married in 1968. They waited three years to have children; Noel was born in '71, then his sister Renee was born two years later in April. The Fosters moved back to England, Peter wanting his children to attend Hogwarts like he did. He went back to his job at the Ministry of Magic and Vanessa got a job as a healer at St. Mungo's.

Noel got his letter to Hogwarts when he was 11, and his father was extremely proud of him, buying him his familiar, a male Russian Blue kitten he named Azure. Noel was excited to go to his father's school, however he didn't expect to be sorted into the house he was put in. Most of his family save a few had been in Slytherin since the early 1900's. While the Fosters aren't the oldest pureblood family, they were pretty well known nonetheless, and only three members have NOT been sorted into Slytherin. Not thinking he was better than anyone else, he actively avoided bullying muggle-borns and half-bloods, and mostly stayed away from them, preferring to either stick to his housemates or study alone or with close friends.

Noel met Jessica during a Hogsmeade trip in his seventh year. She was a pretty Hufflepuff girl that he hadn't expected to even be attracted to. But, he asked her out anyway, not caring that she wasn't a pureblood and not caring that she wasn't a Slytherin. He'd already decided he didn't really care about the same things his father or housemates believed in, and he and Jessica became closer. When they graduated, she moved in with him since her mother had kicked her out, and became a part of the family.

His father and mother grew apart and Peter left the house after a serious fight involving Noel and his sister. Turned out Renee had gotten pregnant by her boyfriend and the boy panicked and fled, wanting nothing to do with Noel's sister or his baby. Renee's brother and mother supported her and Noel took over the father's role, while Jessica helped as well. Noel went into Auror training as soon as he left Hogwarts, and has been loyal to them ever since, though he hates the state the Ministry is in now that Lucius Malfoy is Minister. He knows that his father is an active supporter of Voldemort and basically wants nothing to do with him.

secret phrase: fight it out
sample:

Noel shook his head. "My mum and I get along fine, but my dad and I aren't close." Understatement of the century. Translated by people who knew Noel well, that meant 'My dad hates my guts for being gay, is ashamed of me because I'm a Gryffindor and disappointed because I'm not following his rules like a good little Death Eater wanna-be.' Noel didn't say this out loud, mostly because he refused to be one of those pathetic souls with daddy issues. Whatever atmosphere Zach felt was lacking as they talked, Noel couldn't help but notice it was missing either. Usually Noel kept up a mask with most Slytherins unless he was talking to his sister, but that mask didn't seem to be necessary here. While something (mostly force of habit) told Noel to be careful talking to Zach, he wasn't feeling the need to get out of there like he usually did.
It felt good, to be honest, he thought, watching Zach straighten his legs and lean back. Noel did have jeans that were that tight; he couldn't imagine sitting in the sand while wearing them was all that comfortable. He was wearing loose jeans at the moment and they felt rather tight sitting there.

Noel did laugh a bit when Zach said he usually targeted guys like him around fourth year. Noel had to give the kid credit; he wasn't nearly that brave with his sexuality. Sure he liked guys, and he had crushes on guys, but he was a bit more reserved. It was pretty much how he was raised. "Probably why you missed me; I knew I was into guys in fourth, but I wasn't actually out until the summer of my fifth year," he said. And even then, he had only talked to Renee about it. Now though, he wasn't afraid to admit he was at least bisexual. Noel agreed with the 'out of bounds' comment. Classes were strictly considered off limits when it came to talking to Slytherins, unless he was paired off with one of them. Even then, that was rare and he usually paired off with another Gryffindor. Really though, whoever made the rules up considering Gryffindor/Slytherin relations needed their heads checked. He nodded, smiling when Zach remembered who Renee was.

"I'm proud of her; she wanted to join the team earlier on. Took a year to convince her to even try out for the team, she was so nervous." Noel liked Quidditch, but he didn't really play the game. Renee was the fanatic in the family, and he followed the house teams mostly for her sake. He laughed as Zach realized who Renee had really been sitting with at the Gryffindor table, and the assumption that she was dating a Gryffindor. If Noel had his way, she wouldn't be allowed to date until she was married. "My housemates are never too happy about her coming over to sit with me, but no one really says anything about it out loud," he replied, thinking, 'Mostly because they know that if they insult my little sister they'll get hexed to hell and back.' Noel had put a fellow Gryffindor into the hospital wing for insulting Renee when she was younger; he never tried it again.
