IT'S BLOODY HOT IN HERE (no, really. it's seriously hot.)
it's the summer holidays! a perfect time to travel, relax, spend time with loved ones and bask in the sun. the wizarding world is lively with energy at this time of year. everyone seems to want to make the most of their break before september comes around the corner and life returns to its normal, mundane pace. it has been especially exciting with the sporadic and strange appearances of old and new faces. some claim to be from a different world while others claim to be from a different time. then, there are the ones who have simply found themselves waking up to be remarkably younger or older. just remember to keep to your curfews, half-bloods and muggle-borns! those eerie disappearances are still happening in an increasingly alarming rate...
MINISTRY OF MAGIC
for the ones who don't have the good fortune of going on holiday, you won't have to worry about having nothing to do, especially if you're part of the ministry of magic! with all the anomalies happening, you're going to have your hands full registering, documenting, interviewing and/or helping with a multitude of busywork relating to the newcomers. or maybe your job doesn't have anything to do with that. maybe you're on the opposite end and you've been brought in. or maybe you're just a tourist and you want to see if you can catch a glimpse of the minister for magic. whatever your reason is, welcome and stay out of people's way!
DIAGON ALLEY
everyone loves to go shopping and what better place to do it than diagon alley? you'll find mills of people looking at all the different items on sale or on display in store windows. maybe you're here to purchase materials for the upcoming school year or you're out on a date with your significant other. or maybe you actually own or work at one of the many shops here. whatever your reason is, you better be ready for the crowd and the heat.
KNOCKTURN ALLEY
oh no! what are you doing here? turn back right now! knockturn alley is no place for you to be. well, at least it isn't if you aren't a dark arts practitioner or you're not part of some nefarious secret group. just turn around and go back to diagon alley. it's much nicer there, friendlier and safer. have you not heard about all the disappearances going on? you're only asking for trouble stepping into a place like this, even if it's remarkably cool here.
M.I.A.V.I.
not in the mood to go out? or maybe you're stuck in the waiting room at st. mungo's trying to figure out why you're suddenly 10 years older and you need a distraction. disregarding the reason, it's sure a good thing you've conveniently brought along your m.i.a.v.i. so feel free to browse the public network, create your own post, or private message someone!
OTHER
not interested in any of the options above? feel free to make up your own! the wizarding world is huge, so get creative with it. the setting is the summer of 1980. have fun testing out and shaping your characters, mingle with others, and start getting those crs down!
The housing crisis just got even more complicated, seems like. Anyone have any actual ideas about what's causing the displacements yet?
Also, if you're family, and you know who you are, sound off. Preferably privately.

[ maybe you were minding your own business, trying to have a drink, or moping over the things that've happened. well, whatever, there's now an uncomfortably attractive young man inviting himself into the seat next to you. he slips a cigarette from a neat little case, bringing it to his lips and lighting it with a practiced twist of his fingers.
for a moment, two, he's quiet, but then blue eyes slot toward his companion and he smiles, ruthlessly charming and beautiful. (maybe if you've ever met one before, you'll note that the effect is a bit.. well, veela-like, maybe.) ]
Some day, hm? [ his accent's weird, too, a little english and a little french. ] Some week. Did you just show up, or is this your proper time?
If you're only looking for speculations, then it could be a wide range of things causing it — misuse of powerful magic, an unstable dark artifact, a breach in time itself.
The list can go on, but it won't bring you any closer to a solution.
You think you're getting off easy? I'm worth way more than just a cheap seduction in a pub. There are steps to this courtship. You need to be prepared to commit to the long-haul.
You speak rather highly of yourself for a Weasley. If you want to be courted, you should at the very least prove you are worth it. From what I can tell so far, you're all talk and no action.
The housing crisis at current involves staying with one's family if they are of magical origin and as a Weasley that lucks you out. Before you ask they are in fact still at the Burrow, and as I hear happily taking in any displaced family members.
As yet there is nothing we can do but ask the displaced to exercise caution regarding the dangers of time travel.
For them we are doing our best to work as quickly as we can to provide accommodations. It's not any fault of theirs they've ended up here, much like it isn't yours, and thus it rests on us to provide as best we can.
[ The fact that the answer could be 'neither'- and that 'our time' was a misnomer, considering Louis came from a few years further down the road than Dominique-hadn't really occurred to her. ]

How would time be breached like that? It would have to be some kind of artifact or spell messing with it, wouldn't it?
no subject
Then, there is the small matter of whether we're the ones even responsible for this in the first place. It could very well be out of our control.

What about those not of magical origin? Or those with no family? Is the Ministry providing?
