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!

[Remus is headed out from his own frustrating encounter with the Ministry, though it had been less arguing and more being given the run-around all day so he could be asked annoying, prying questions by someone who spoke to him as though he were a misinformed child she was correcting. He nearly runs into her in his rush to finally leave. Finally, someone he enjoys the company of.]

Lily! Are you just leaving now? Want to grab a bite? [Please say yes he needs some time with someone who doesn't treat him like the muck on the bottom of their shoe.

also he's very hungry]
fishpetals: (and little old me i lost my key)

[ lily only stops when remus nearly runs into her, but when she does it's a quick skid to a halt and she looks at him, wide-eyed - before she smiles, touching his arm lightly. ] Remus.

[ she can tell his mood just from looking at him and nods, hooking her arm through his and taking a deep breath to calm herself down before moving further out so they can leave and pretend the day hasn't been horrible for the both of them. when she speaks, her voice is low. ] What do you think about grabbing a bite out in London? I don't think I can take much more of these pricks at the mo'.

[ muggle london, specifically. where no one will know them, no one will bother them, and lily can cast a disillusionment charm on their table so they can chat with no one even noticing them. ]
wolfymcwolf: (but the thought of fresh meat)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-07-27 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[It's the first smile he hasn't had to force all day, tired and weary as it is. His reply comes on a sigh of relief.] Sounds perfect.

[They hurry out of the Ministry, Remus heaving another sigh once they're out in the relative anonymity of the street.] Sorry I nearly ran into you, I just-- you know how it is there. If I had to stay a moment longer, I'd have snapped.
fishpetals: (everything is happening)

[personal profile] fishpetals 2017-07-27 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ being out by themselves is a blessing and she practically slumps against him, exhaling slowly and nodding before she looks at him again. ] I understand. I practically did snap before I left.

[ she squeezes tighter against his side as they pass into muggle london - let people think they're a couple, it'll let them talk quietly without being interrupted as they walk, a pair of young lovers on a walk. ] Things just keep getting worse and worse, don't they?
wolfymcwolf: (but not if you go with me)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-07-27 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
And here I thought you went there specifically to snap at them. [He huffs out a quiet laugh, his face feeling a little warm from how close she is. He knows it's just something to keep them undisturbed by strangers, but still. He's only a man, after all.

Well, not only, but, the point is made. More important, Lily is a dear friend, and for as much as he loves the other Marauders, for as much as they are opposed to all the restrictions, they just don't understand what it is to live with it on the same level that she does.

He shakes his head on a sigh.]
They are... Have you talked to your parents about-- what's been happening? [The disappearances.] Mine have been checking in nearly every night.
fishpetals: (so i stay inside to watch tv)

[personal profile] fishpetals 2017-07-27 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, that was last week. [ whether he's only a man or not doesn't matter; they understand each other on levels that others they know don't even if lily can't understand how it really is for a werewolf and remus can't understand how it really is for a muggleborn. they both have their trials and they both bear them, it's that simple.

walking is nice. walking is soothing. lily thinks she'd like to do some more of it for a while so she does, at least for now, shaking her head. ]
Merlin, no. Imagine. They'd want me home and I can't worry them that much. It's awful and dishonest, but what else can I do?
wolfymcwolf: (and i won't need a pill)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-07-27 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Remus hums thoughtfully.] This is going to sound even more awful and dishonest, but have you considered encouraging them to leave the country? [His voice lowers even further, though they're in the muggle part of London now and the risk of being overheard is far less.] The ministry says they're looking into the missing muggles too, but you know that's just talk... Tad's trying to save up to move to Germany, he's got colleagues there... he's worried sick that Mum's going to disappear and no one will do anything.

[Yes, a nice, soothing walk with a nice, soothing conversation after a nice, soothing day. Merlin, he needs several drinks.]
