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!

"I've plenty of moments for you, Horace." It's still strange to call one's professor by their first name, but when one is graduated, well. It becomes second nature. "What can I do for you today?"
(Horace Slughorn, one of the few people that sees her full potential, is worth her full attention as well.)

Merlin's beard, it was enough to make a tired old man wonder what the point of all his hard work was.
"The same as ever, of course," he said, trundling up to her counter, "a flask of Preservation Potion. Really must replace that old trunk someday, but on my salary..." He shrugged broadly, making the usual excuse. Couldn't replace his trunk, needed a potion to keep it together. Couldn't whip it up himself, she did things with the teak scent and the sheen even he couldn't (he claimed). But even the potion itself was just an excuse. "Though if you have the time, I've had a request for a Conflagration Concoction I simply haven't the time to make, if you'd be interested in the task."
Always more work for her. He benefited immensely, of course -- in free time, since passing jobs to her left him at leisure, and in favors earned from putting his clients in touch with someone so skilled at the art. That benefit kept his interest in her ordinary and explicable, saving him all sorts of grief. He'd have done it for her if it cost him directly and personally, but explaining that would have been such a chore.

Sometimes Lily wonders what the point of all of her own work is. She loves magic and she's never going to give up on it but she's also so tired of being seen as some kind of third-rate citizen over blood status when she can cast and brew circles around most anyone.
She smiles and leans on the counter when he speaks, lips quirking in a familiar way. "With how often you come in for that potion, skip a few times and you'll have a brand new trunk." She's teasing though, lightly, because, well, she knows what he's doing. She always does. If it were someone else she would be offended, but somehow with him it's just... Things are what they are and they'll be what they'll be.
"A Conflagration Concoction? I can have it ready in a few days. If they want it on a rush I can do that at a bit higher cost." With a hum. This is a dance they do sometimes too, seeing if Horace can convince the clients they need the potion right away or not. "But either way, I can get it done."
