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!

When would that be, exactly?

We are, yes.

And no, not the foggiest. It's been happening to a lot of us, but not even the Ministry seems to know why or what to do about it.

2028. I've been graduated from Hogwarts for a bit, now. Uncle Charlie helped me find a group of dragonologists that was looking for a new hire. I was heading home for a visit when things ended up all wrong.

[Speaking of which.]

I popped up in the Ministry-- THIS ministry-- when I arrived. I was quite confused, as they certainly were by all of us showing up.

[There's one part that was most surprising. How to put this delicately...]

I was a bit startled by who the Minister is, these days.

[Probably not delicate enough.]

You're nearly thirty years out from me, then. I guess that explains the name you chose.

[ A bit of a comfort, not being the only one not to use his real name.

And yes, best to skirt around the subject in a medium to unsecured. ]


As was I. Certainly not what I remember from my own childhood.

Are you settling in alright? Have you found anyone else you know from your future? My lot are all here, sans Fleur.

Lily Luna is a bit of a mouthful, and Lily still seems a bit odd for everyone, still. So, Lila it is.

[She does like it quite a bit, too.]

Well enough, for someone without a place to stay just yet. And I've seen a few people I think are family around. Reached out to a couple, but they've yet to get back to me.

No sign of any of my Mum, Dad, or brothers, though.

I meant "heretherebedragons."

Your dad's around, or so I've heard. I've not seen him myself either. If you need a place to stay, I think my mum's coming around to the idea of additional relatives staying at the Burrow. You'd probably be welcome there.

Oh! Yes. Considering the differences, it seemed smarter.

[And her family said she was always impulsive and reckless.

.....Okay maybe it was 80% because she liked the name, but Uncle Bill doesn't need to know that.]


Dad's here?

[That's, well. Good, but also not, because if Dad's here then that means he's going to try to put things right all by himself, and Lila knows that no matter how old he is, Harry Potter will always need time where he doesn't have to play the hero.

She can do that, this time. She's more than old enough.]


I suppose I'll have to see if I can find him. And thank you for letting me know about the Burrow; I'll probably drop by and see if they've space

Somehow, no matter what, there's always space for more at the Burrow. :)

that's one of the best things about it :)

[The presence of family is the very best, though.]
