digs
Gideon changes flats a bit when he first moves to London in August 1972, mainly from one bed-sit to the next in the wizarding parts of the city.
In summer 1976 he gets hold of a three-storey house in Chelsea (117a King's Road), an all-Muggle area. He manages to get a long-term lease on the two upper storeys (the ground floor houses a bookshop specialising in geography), and renovates it extensively on his own (with help from friends and his brother, obviously). By October, he's more or less done and moves in.
random info on his flat
- fiction is in the living room, the study holds books on his academic interest
- there are no plants, as he has no talent whatsoever where it comes to keeping them alive
- apart from the painting, there are no pictures, but he has a photograph of himself and his brother (both about 17 years old at that point) in the top right drawer of his desk and a magical drawing of himself, done by his painter aunt when he'd just left Hogwarts
personality
random things about him
- is very fond of the sea
- has a large magical water colour picture hung over the dinner table; it was given to him by one of his aunts who is a painter, and it shows the Aberystwyth sea promenade and a fair bit of the sea as well, it's charmed to mimic the local weather
- has got principles and morals that are not negotiable for him, otherwise he'd probably not have joined the Order
- is easy-going
- is bisexual
things he's fond of, in no particular order
- reading; is an avid and attentive reader, which really is a bit of a prerequisite for his job
- his private research -- the topic of which he'll only tell about to someone who's genuinely interested
- his brother Fabian, very, very much (he's rather protective of him, too, so watch out)
- fooling around with a number of people
- Augustus Rookwood, massively ;)
- his nephews, a lot
things he has little to no patience with or is generally not in favour of
- heroism; mention to him he's a hero for having died, and he will think you're a few sandwiches short of a picknick, as attested in
- if he was being used, after his death, to recruit new members to the Order
- people who take themselves too seriously, he'll wind them up and leave then, rather bemused over the whole affair
- putting his neck on the line
