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!
It seemed harmless enough as something to start with. We need to work on something other than these, I don't like 'em. Then again I don't like a lot of things our government comes up with.
Course. Just checking.[He's not worrying, you're worrying, shut up.]
Owls can be intercepted. Could enchant mirrors for you and Pete, I suppose. [Though he has his reservations about Peter. They've --drifted apart some, these days.]
Right. When should that be, anyhow? I'm free whenever. As usual. [It's a weird thing, being a mostly-disgraced pureblood. Not exactly welcome at the ministry, but he can get along well enough if he has to., based on his name and charm.]
I've got free-time now too, funnily enough. Not too late in the evening, though, unless we want to move to someone's place for the rest of the night. [Because someone has a curfew. :/ And he definitely can't afford to pay the fine for breaking it.
The vote of confidence is nice, though.]
Not like it's your fault. [yes he knows that's not the point, still]

Yes, of course. Why? Are you alright, Padfoot?

[He's fine???? Everything Is Fine]
I'm fine, I'm just [there's a pause in the writing] Job searching again.

Damn. I'm sorry, Moony.

I wasn't surprised. It's a pain, but I'll figure it out.

You always do. I'm just sorry it happened.

It'll be like the dorms all over again, yeah? I don't know how any of us sleep without the soothing sound of Wormy's snoring from across the room.no subject

I'm hardly pining, I just got used to it at Hogwarts. The soothing sounds of muggle London traffic are too quiet in comparison.no subject

Moonykins. Shall I get anything besides firewhiskey?

I will! [Which means he's probably going to a Muggle liquor shop too, honestly.]
