IT'S BLOODY HOT IN HERE (no, really. it's seriously hot.)
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!
"Vicki!" Dominique nearly stood for the hug, but Victoire's swift approach kept her from embracing any more closely than the brief contact they had before the elder sister sat. A beat later, Dominique slid the remains of her plate towards her sister. "You can have the rest, if you'd like. I've had my fill."
There was no guarantee that French was safe to speak, but it was undoubtedly less easy to pick up than English. And so it was in their other tongue that she spoke as her eyes traveled over the crowd. The large number of people were both a blessing and a curse. "I know things are dangerous here-but just how bad are they?"
Victoire brightened as the plate was pushed in front of her- and eagerly took a bite with a muffled 'merci!'. Of course, with the severity of things as they were, she wasn't quite so keen to stay as bubbly as she was used to. She licked her lips, hand reaching for her wand to cast a quick 'muffliato' spell before she answered her sister.
"Bad," she replied, continuing in French for the sake of 'just in case'. "There's been a handful of helpful people, but they're strict in their curfew... And I'm afraid to ask their feelings on... not entirely human witches and wizards."
It was never something they had to worry about back home- but there would likely be a lot of that extra worry here. At least they all had each other.
Dominique gulped at the thought. Victoire had a point-there was every chance their Veela blood would get them in trouble here. "Does anybody know about us yet? Even family?"
Obviously any family from back home would know, but the other Weasleys, from 1980-did they know their grandchildren were part-Veela just yet? And that was far from the only thing worth worrying about-
"And the trace. Do you know if it still works on misplaced?" As a sixteen year old, casting spells could cause her Trace to go off. And if she was not particularly accepted as a part-Veela witch, that would only lead to massive amounts of trouble.
