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!

Re: privated ––
( that can't be true. unless this is something from his time, which wouldn't matter here, would it? of course it would, if he can convince enough people. )
Re: privated ––
Trouble reading now?
Re: privated ––
( she isn't going to use the word 'proof', she may have navigated herself into this mess, but she's not going to make it worse. )
Re: privated ––
Re: privated ––
( actually nervous now, that's who you are, bells. )
Re: privated ––
post icon: ah fuck it doesn't last does it
[The response is delayed because Ron can't tell if that's a haughty 'who do you think I am' or an actual question and it's tripping him up, not least of all because there's a different surname at play here.
He doesn't like this universe, pls trade for another.]
A deranged lunatic who's somehow convinced people otherwise, mostly.
Re: privated ––
( because she's not a lunatic.
or deranged.
according to herself, while ignoring the increasing built-up in evidence and leaning heavily on the fact that wizardkind is awfully behind on the mental illness front. )
Re: privated ––
[There's like three seconds where he honestly worries he's made a terrible, terrible mistake, but he doesn't even have to review their conversation to reassure himself.]
I'm not raving. And how many B.Blacks are there, do you think?
Doesn't matter where you're from, you're not any different here.
Re: privated ––
( but she knows he was going for 'lestrange', which, considering the ten-year-and-counting engagement sham the two of them have cooked up, isn't all that off the mark.
... except under what kind of circumstances would they actually seal the deal? )
I do reckon there is a difference between this reality and wherever you came from.
And whatever it is, it doesn't apply here.
Re: privated ––
Yeah, cause those never change, do they?
[Ron doesn't know anything about that relationship, or not-relationship, but really there is no situation in which he'd want details. Ugh. Lestranges. Gross.]
You know what? Maybe you're right.
Maybe here, you'll stay in Azkaban.
Re: privated ––
which actually turns out to be a fairly secondary problem when he mentions azkaban. she's been, once, for work reasons, and had been heartily glad to leave after what couldn't have been more than an hour. if what he says is true ––
which it absolutely can't be. clearly, he is just messing with her. )
I would need to be imprisoned first, for which I would have to commit a crime.
( and they didn't disable the entire justice system. )
Re: privated ––
Like you haven't done?
[one day he will regret every second of this so very much.]
You mean first you'd have to be caught.
Re: privated ––
( pureblood loyalty being what it is. )
So unless I am the greatest criminal mastermind of all time ( this is neither the time nor the format for sarcasm ) I daresay this would have happened a while ago.
Re: privated ––
'If,' are you joking? You're bloody awful at playing innocent.
[Keeping all the details close to his chest would probably be the smart way to go about this, but Ron is rubbish at these things: he needs his friends, he needs to know what's going on and what the goal is, because right now all he's doing is lashing out in fear. It's never been a particularly good tactic for him.]
It doesn't matter, you won't have long to wait. I'd say maybe there'll be someone to write to you, but they'll all be in there with you.
Re: privated ––
My sister?
( oh, she knows who else he is may thinking of, they do all have matching tattoos, but they could also survive in azkaban.
narcissa couldn't. and she didn't really get her into this mess, did she? )
Re: privated ––
[H u h. That's the unexpected cherry on the unexpected fudge sundae.]
Don't you have more than one?
[He's delaying just to be mean, at least mostly; getting his head around Bellatrix Lestrange having an actual tiny heart is not easy.]
Re: privated ––
( which... isn't the same as saying that she's not her sister. sure, they're rapidly approaching that point, are absolutely not speaking as of now, and if she were to actually marry ted tonks, all bridges will be burnt, but bella hasn't entirely given up hope yet. )
That wasn't the question.
Re: privated ––
H u h.
Well this is leaving Ron and his extremely strong feelings about family very, very conflicted.]
No it wasn't, but what makes you think I owe you an answer?
Re: privated ––
( but she can't let that sit. it's impossible. there are a great many things bella would sacrifice, a great many more if they are sacrificed to the cause, but her sister isn't among them. )
But she is my sister. I wouldn't let her lose her life to Azkaban.
Re: privated ––
Just let her lose her family, is that it?
Re: privated ––
( without her mudblood boyfriend, that is. as it always is in the black family, love is conditional. she doubts walburga would agree, but walburga doesn't make the rules – which is why bella herself gets to be 29, unmarried, and without children, but with a career and the dark mark on her forearm.
and, you know, some pretty obsessive love for a half-blood guy. )Besides, she isn't with the ministry, so whatever false charges I got arrested for in your world they couldn't tie her to. It's Narcissa I am concerned about.
Re: privated ––
It's Narcissa's family I'm talking about, too.
[Ron is not sure he has ever been more grateful to be a Weasley.]
Re: privated ––
( fucking hell bella what can he possibly mean )
Re: privated ––
What d'you think it's gonna be like for her, when everyone she cares about is in there?
Re: privated ––
( for someone who totally isn't buying the whole 'you are/were in azkaban in my reality' schtick he's going for, she did just breathe an awfully long sigh of relief. )
Besides, your scenario still lacks a crime you haven't plainly made up.
