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!

He takes another bite of his ridiculous sundae, which is covered in just about every topping Fortescue's has in stock, using that as an excuse to think. What could he say?] So-- You're Sirius Black, right? [It's not really a question, he knows who he is. But he has to start somewhere.]
no subject
I am, yeah. [He shoots Scorpius a considering look, frowning thoughtfully.] And you're....likely related to me, or more probably related to my cousin? [He has a little of a Narcissa look to him, at least.]
no subject
no subject
Ah! Right, that'd explain why I didn't recognize you right off then. Are you related to Cissy?
no subject
He nods, searching for a new angle to attack his ice cream from.] Narcissa? She's my gran. [and isn't that weird, so informal a familial name coming from a Malfoy. things must have changed an awful lot] I've-- read a lot about history, particularly this time period and the '90's... and, it doesn't really match with what's happening here at all. [He says slowly, trying to keep his tone still ever so casual. His eyes meet Sirius', begging him to understand. Things are wrong here.]
no subject
....Right. [He sounds a little skeptical, but he's willing to humor Scorp at least.] So what's meant to be happening, then?
no subject
Or that Tom Riddle isn't supposed to be Minister, at least not here, where people might overhear.] Uh, well-- there's some things that shouldn't be happening that are, and some things that should that aren't, and it's really a lot. I wouldn't know where to start. [He smiles sheepishly. This was a dumb idea.]
no subject
Just a tip, mate, if you've got something to tell me that you want to make sense of, maybe it shouldn't be in a place like this. [It's not exactly private, for one.]
no subject
Right, well, I didn't exactly expect to run into you here, so... Until we move elsewhere... [He shrugs, and casts a Muffliato under the table.] It's-- the curfews, and all, to start with. That's not supposed to be happening.
no subject
....Alright, so what is meant to be happening? Because this has been in place since before I even started at Hogwarts.
no subject
[He cuts himself off. Yeah, very subtle. There's no Order, and no resistance, because it's been long enough, people see this is as normal now. This is-- very complicated.
He stirs his own ice cream around the bowl anxiously.] No one's saying anything about it? The curfews and the restrictions? Are they really helping to stop the disappearances, though? [So he knows about those] Don't you find that odd? Never mind that the differences between who counts as a half-blood and who counts as a pure-blood is arbitrary at best--
[Can you make yourself any more obvious, Scorpius? Can you? He cuts himself off again.]
Sorry, I-- It'll have to wait, even with the charm. This isn't the place.
