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!

"Maman's blood is a little too strong for that, I think." Not that she was going to point out exactly why-if Bill wasn't entirely surprised he had children, he was probably already married, and he knew full-well what Fleur was. And if anybody was listening to them, well... as Victoire had pointed out to her, revealing their part-Veela nature was potentially life-threatening.

Taking a seat on the bed, Dominique smoothed out her robes. "Where to start... well, I'm a Gryffindor, about to start my sixth year." It should have come as no surprise that she was in that particular House, of course, considering the family history. While Fleur's looks might have been dominant, Dominique's personality matched her father's side of the family much more strongly. "I play Chaser, and do okay in my studies."

Bill was suspicious enough of this alternate past to have placed all the protective charms he could on his room, so Dominique didn't have to worry about being overheard by any passersby. Bill nodded, smiling. He should have realized that any blood that was something more than human would be dominant over regular wizard blood.

He was glad to hear she was in Gryffindor, of course, and he grinned when she mentioned playing Chaser. "I never played at school, but when we played little games at the Burrow I'd play Chaser." Charlie being Seeker, of course, and the twins being Beaters.

"Tell me more. What subjects do you like, who are your friends?"

"You still play, actually, when you get the chance. And taught me-or at least started teaching me." By the time she was on the team, what she needed to learn was beyond what Bill really had the time for-and quite possibly what he knew, at that point-but he'd still keep practicing with her on occasion over the summer break. It was weird to be recapping stuff that in her mind he already knew to her dad, but seeing the way his smile lit up at sharing a position was well worth it.

"Transfiguration is my favorite, but I'm better at Charms and DATDA." Some combination of natural aptitude-either in her or her wand-towards the latter two. "And I get on with pretty much everyone in Gryffindor, but my closest friends are Roxanne-she's George's-and a couple of muggleborns that weren't even born yet if you're as old as I think you are, so I'm sure you wouldn't know them."

"That's good to hear." The thought of having the time to casually play quidditch, to teach his children to play... the peace that that implied, was comforting to Bill after so recently having come from living under wartime.

"I should probably clear that up, shouldn't I?" he said, absentmindedly scratching his cheek. "When I'm from... Well, your sister's about a month away from being born. Your mum's on maternity leave from work, to get the cottage ready." It's already cramped with just the two of them, it had been hard to imagine adding a child, let alone three.

A thought occurred to him. "When's your birthday? I don't want to accidentally miss it."
