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!

Yesterday, just woke up here like I'd always been. [He doesn't really want to say, 'oh, you know, just got done abandoning my best mate to the hardest thing he's ever done, what's up with you?' so he shuffles his weight a little, shakes his head.]
Got - got separated from Harry and Hermione. What happened, after the wedding? [He doesn't say that he listened to Dad's radio every night, every day, every waking second that wasn't preoccupied with something else, praying not to hear any of their names.]
no subject
He motions for Ron to follow as he begins to walk back towards the Leaky Cauldron. This is a conversation best had in private. ]
It's alright, everyone's alright-- not right away, but we manage. I'm from a bit further on. March, '99. Fleur and I, we're... Well, you're going to be an uncle soon. If I can get back to the right time.
no subject
(The space in his chest is quickly filled by guilt, because he really did throw something terrible in Harry's face for nothing. They were all fine anyway.)
Falling into step with Bill, Ron keeps his hands in his pockets, though his thumb brushes his wand where' it's stuffed down his waistband. He probably looks about as paranoid as he feels, but it feels impossible to be anything but.]
Blimey, Bill.
[An uncle. He's meant to be an uncle! And apparently they all survive another year, thank God.]
She's not here, then? No, obviously she's not - how are we supposed to get back? Does anyone know, yet?
no subject
No one seems to have any idea. We're stuck here, in a past that shouldn't be the way it is.
[ He looks pointedly at a poster in a shop window reminding passersby of the curfew. In a low voice, he adds, ] There's no resistance in place; the Order doesn't exist here because nobody thinks there's anything wrong.
no subject
When he catches on where Bill's looking, though, something small and tense snaps inside him.]
They don't think a bloody curfew is wrong? That putting the trace on adults is wrong?
no subject
Some do. You'll notice they're the once who've got the trace in the first place.
[ He pauses as they enter the Leaky Cauldron and gestures for Ron to follow him upstairs. It's not until they've reached room 6 and Bill's closed and locked the door behind them, and laid down a number of spells to prevent anyone from listening in or interrupting them, that he speaks again. ]
I've spoken with Lily Evans-- she hasn't married James Potter in this timeline, they haven't had Harry-- and Remus Lupin. Lily seemed eager to rebel. Remus... I'm still gauging his feelings, but it can't be easy for him, here.
no subject
He bites his tongue until they're in Bill's room, and there he paces, sharp steps and quick turns, until his brother's finished protecting the space. He very nearly explodes, until Bill lays down that bomb.]
Harry - Harry hasn't even been born yet?
[It's a weird thought, and then it's an absolutely terrifying one. What does that, what does any of this, mean for the world they've come from? And what does it mean for the people here, if Harry's meant to be the one to stop Riddle? Can he even be stopped?
Ron stops pacing and abruptly sits down on the edge of Bill's bed.]
no subject
No, he hasn't. Now, just what the implications of that are going to be, I can't say. Maybe there's no prophecy in this time. Maybe it's up to the rest of us, who've been displaced, to fix things.
[ He frowns. The outlook is certainly bleak. But they've fought Voldemort before, they can do it again. ]
no subject
[Ron shakes his head, hunches forward to lean on his knees.] The rest of us, like there was a load to pick from to begin with. Haven't seen anyone else from the Order kicking about, have you?
no subject
What I wouldn't give for Mad Eye or Kingsley about now. They'd know what to do, for sure.
no subject
But they'll have been born, won't they? Maybe we can find them here. Explain things.
no subject
[ Mad Eye might. He's always ready to suspect the worst. Surely that can't have changed in this timeline. ]
