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!

diagon alley
So he goes. Reluctantly. And he's pleased to learn that no one recognizes him, not in the slightest. A year or two ago, he'd have hated that, but fear is a powerful motivator to not be quite so proud. He's walking past a bookstore when he bumps into someone coming out, and the words slip out, whether he wants them to or not.
"Watch where you're going, you bloody idiot."
Draco pales, stiffens and takes a step back.

This silence is deeply irritated and Regulus doesn't move, doesn't speak, only lifts his head to look at the person that's bumped into him. "Beg pardon?" There's something dangerous about it, cold and sharp and not quite vicious. Something wrong. He's smiling too in that way that's unsettling and there's a pin on his lapel that identifies him as a Ministry worker, but more importantly...
Regulus Black should be readily recognizable. Photographs, family trees... He's there, over and over, the golden child of that branch of the Black family, befallen a tragic death at such a young age. But here he is, smiling through grit teeth as he takes in the look of him and then he laughs.
"You're a bloody Malfoy."
no subject
"Must be a clever one to figure that out."
While instinct tells him that this man is dangerous, and familiar, too familiar, Draco is going to play the stranger card as long as he can. Then he can try to blame the mistaken identity route for his earlier rudeness to keep himself from any negative consequences. He'd wanted to lay low for a while here but that seems less and less like a possibility.
"Who're you?" A pause and then he digs an even deeper hole. "Dark hair, bushy eyebrows. It's common enough that I can't guess who you are by appearance alone."
no subject
Regulus is rather short but he has a lot of presence when he draws up to his full height, which he is currently. His lips twist into a smirk. "Perhaps you're a distant Malfoy, all the ones I know are brighter than this."
Sharp. Tight.
"My name is Regulus Black. Grant me yours."
no subject
"Of course not. You're just dead when I come from."
There. That's a good excuse. Good turn about, Draco.
"Draco Malfoy."
He doesn't quite manage to straighten himself up, to look proud, not here. He's still figuring out the pecking order and doesn't know exactly where a Malfoy might land.
no subject
His eyes flick over Draco's face as he speaks, thoughtful. "Have you been staying in the manor? I haven't seen you when I'm by there. Mind, I haven't had as much time to be by as usual."
There seems to have been some relaxing thing in him now - why, it's unclear, but Malfoy is clearly still a name with some clout. "There are no set places for the displaced to stay, so you're lucky to have the manor." He grins, and it's sharp. "I'm sure Lucius must find it interesting dealing with a grown son."
Lucius, who is only 26 here.
