Wizarding AU

HARRY POTTER AU MEME

You're a wizard! Or perhaps you're a magical creature or a ghost. More importantly, where do your loyalties lie? Are you the Dark Lord or one of the Death Eaters? Perhaps you teach at Hogwarts or work at the ministry. Are you a member of the Order of Phoenix? Are you a student in Hogwarts? In which house did the Sorting Hat place you?

Leave a comment with your character's name and canon and your preferences in the title line. Then put down a few ideas about your character in your top level. Both AU characters and canon characters are welcome.

List of prompts: (Choose from these or make up your own.)

1. HOGWARTS
Are you a teacher or a student? Which house are you in? What subjects do you teach? Next week might be the most important quidditch match of the year and you're the team captain! Maybe you're the potions professor and someone just blew up their cauldron.

2. AURORS
Are you a trainee? The head Auror who has been dueling with dark wizards all your adult life? A dark wizard? Catch you if we can! Or maybe you're an auror breaking curses in a Death Eater safehouse.

3. DIAGON ALLEY
A bustling locale filled to the brim with wizarding shops and taverns. Are you a business owner? Perhaps you're a wand maker or a student buying your books for the next year in Hogwarts. Maybe you just want to get a shot of firewhiskey in the Three Broomsticks.

4. MINISTRY OF MAGIC
Do you work here? You could be in the Department of Mysteries, handling a new case about vanishing cabinets. Or maybe you work in the misuse of muggle artifacts office, dispelling singing teacups or flying cars. Is it a busy day, a slow week, or just another day in the office? Maybe you're one of the gossips who just heard of the newest bit of juicy gossip.

5. THE OLDEST AND PUREST BLOOD
Were you born to a pureblood family? Perhaps you're an heir of great, questionable fortune. Maybe you'd like nothing to do with your family who supports the Dark Lord. What if you fell in love with someone your family doesn't approve of? Or maybe both of your parents are muggle born and this is still all new to you.

6. FLYING
There are great many ways to fly: broomsticks, hippogriffs, dragons. Take your pick and soar through the skies!

7. DUELING/SPELL CASTING
What's the fun in being a wizard if you can't cast spells? Are you good at something specific? Do you use silent spells a lot? Perhaps you're the best dueler with a wand that's been seen for ages. Or maybe you're just starting out, and a spell just backfired in your face.

8. ST. MUNGO'S HOSPITAL FOR MAGICAL MALADIES AND INJURIES
Did your spell go haywire? Did you stick a satsuma up your nostril? It happens. Happily there's a hospital for your needs. Or maybe you work there, healing all those poor and silly wizards who turn up in desperate need of your care.

9. AZKABAN
A fortress island in the middle of the Northern sea, full of the most dangerous dark wizards. Are you a resident, or visiting? Watch out for those dementors!

10. POTIONS
You brewed the best pick-me-up potion but something went wrong? Maybe you ended up purple in the face. Or you gave a love potion to the wrong person. Maybe you mixed your hangover potion with magical viagra? It happens. But now you have to deal with it.

11. MAGICAL CREATURES
Do you work with dragons? Perhaps you have some giant blood in you. Or maybe you were bit by a werewolf and your first full moon is nearing. Maybe you found an injured unicorn. Or your house has become infested with boggarts.

12. WILD CARD
Come up your own scenario.

[Phichit is a 4th year Slytherin student and one of the Quidditch team's Chasers. He's one of the few students who is very much the opposite of his house's "image" -- while he is a Pureblood, he's one of the kindest kids at Hogwarts, and makes friends with pretty much everyone regardless of their House or blood status. He seems somewhat naive, still totally in love with all the new magic he learns, but he can also be quite sneaky, especially when it comes to pushing his friends out of their comfort zones!]

[ BODYSLAMS IN HERE ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT: First-Year Hufflepuff; Pureblood (mixed from Light and Dark lines, of course; complicated family life). His Sorting was a surprise to nearly everyone; bets were totally on Slytherin. Hyper-competitive, incredibly skilled in battle magic, and arrogant -- all of which gets him into plenty of trouble. Struggles with friendship, and tends to be a loner. Favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures, though he'll never admit it. Totally not raising an orphaned behemoth bat-creature off in the Forbidden Forest. ]

Come at me with your ideas! :D

[5th year Ravenclaw, of course. Is a Quidditch keeper, because he appreciates having that tactical view of the arena. Is available for tutoring if you find him in the library/common room and annoy him enough.]

1st year 'Puff or Gryf, very quiet and completely fearless with flying and magical creatures.

[Fourth year Slytherin, is a model student mostly because she never gets caught with her weird magic/science experiments she does after dark. Muggle technology enthusiast. Thinks Wizards are silly for writing them off when their technology is, at this point, as powerful as magic in many ways. Will find a way to get wifi to the castle if it kills her.]

[Gryffindor, sixth year, prefect. Orphaned during the Second Wizarding War and adopted (along with her brother) by Michael and Stacy Mason, famous both for their work helping Potterwatch and now as reporters in some of the new alternate Wizarding media. Georgia is starting her own Hogwarts paper.]

[The angriest Hufflepuff. Fifth year. Spends a lot of time doing research in the forbidden section of the library and fighting with people who call him short.]

[Seventh year, Gryffindor. Falls asleep in class a lot.]

[Hufflepuff, fourth year. Tiny but stubbornly determined Seeker on his House Quidditch team. Frequently does better in practice than in the actual match, getting performance anxiety with the whole school coming out to watch. Probably has like one or two others he considers to actually be friends, even if he's pretty much friendly with everyone.]

[ Small, quiet Cassandra Davies was of uncertain blood - she'd been found at around the age of seven wandering the streets in Holyhead, Wales as the sun rose, covered in blood. She'd been taken in by a young witch despite the uncertainty of her heritage and the concerns of the rest of the community.

She'd been mute when they found her, though no one was entirely sure if it was physiological or psychological. She hadn't spoken during the four years she spent growing up in Holyhead, but she'd proven a smart, curious child. She seemed intrigued by both magical and muggle society, so her heritage was even further muddied. Still, she had proven good at going invisible in shadows, usually accidentally, so they knew she had magic.

Come age 11, she had received her Hogwarts letter, and been sorted into Gryffindor, still without speaking a word. It made her a bit of an oddity at school, even now in her third year, but she didn't seem bothered, most of the time. She'd made the Quiddich team her second year - a natural at flying, with a surprisingly strong arm, made her a terrifying beater - and was at least passing all her classes that didn't require casting spells. She was a bit behind in both Transfiguration and Charms, due to her silence, but seemed to be starting to develop reliable unspoken magic. Still, it meant she was still in both classes with the first years, on a special dispensation from the headmaster.

There was, understandably, a fair amount of gossip about her. She didn't seem to notice it, but it was well known that one shouldn't bully her, either - she'd dealt with a couple of unfriendly Slytherins and upper-classmen in her own house when she was a first year with very well-placed and unseen-by-the-teachers hits to sensitive places, and her wide innocent eyes got her out of trouble quite easily, at least that first year. Even so, she doesn't really have any friends in her House, and her only friend is a fifth year who is so deep already into studying for her OWLs that she doesn't really have time to spend with her.

Cassandra's a third year now, but even the younger kids will probably have heard of her by now. Especially since she takes Charms with one class (Gryffindor and Ravenclaw) and Transfiguration with another (Slytherin and Hufflepuff).

...That was long and I apologize. GO NUTS. ]

[There are rumors that a dragon has been spotted in the Forbidden Forest... but really, a white and red dragon with of all things, feathered wings? Clearly whoever had seen it has been into the Firewhisky, and heavily. There was no such thing as a serpent like dragon that had been described, right?

Never mind that it would have been seen by now... Dragons weren't stealthy and they certainly didn't stay hidden for very long...]

((Ooc: Skyfire isn't the typical dragon of the Potter-verse. Based more on the oriental style of dragon, he's not a mindless creature out to wreck whatever annoys him and does not attack without provocation. It also takes a fair bit to get him angry enough to fight, he'd rather back off unless it's to protect someone else. He's friendly and social, but wary of humans in large groups.))

[Second Weasley child and eldest daughter, formerly Gryffindor Quiddich captain and chaser and now currently works in Romania looking after dragons.

Willing to AU her as either still in school or as the new Care of Magical Creatures professor.]
