Hogwarts: A Jamjar Meme
 HOGWARTS: A JAMJAR MEME Wizards of all ages and from all times: whatever you were doing, wherever you were - none of that matters now. You've been brought to Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. You’ll find yourself in the Great Hall under a starry sky, illuminated by the light of a thousand candles. What happened? Why were you brought here? How were you brought here? All questions to be answered, perhaps. But first, mingle with your kind and find a seat for yourself. This will be your home for a while. Because there is no leaving. Student, staff, you with nothing to do - all of you trapped inside the school grounds. Sorting to houses & Start-of-term feast Those of you who have not been sorted into your houses, you're guided to sit on a stool while an old hat will contemplate a proper house for you. After, you can join your housemates at their long table. The ghost of the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, will soon give a speech once the last student is sorted... "The very best of evenings to you! Now… to our new students, welcome. To our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you…" He will warn you about the anti-curse charm set upon Hogwarts and how it will bring harm in equal measures to yourself. He will urge you to stay calm and have a lemondrop; they’ll be provided at all tables. Dumbledore would like you all to note few things, Hogwarts attendees: 1. This will be a continuous, no commitment necessary “storyline.” What does that mean? Depending on the level of interest, there will be at least one post per month on the 3B-DR that will continue the storyline which begins here. Players are encouraged to make top-levels in the dressing room if they want to keep this verse going with their characters. Madame Rosmerta’s made a tag specifically for this. 2. Multiple versions of characters at various ages are welcome. Whether that means there’s three Harry’s all in fifth year, or one Harry in first year, a second in third year, and a third in sixth year is up to you. All three Harry’s could also interact, depending on player preferences. AU versions of (HP)canon and non-(HP)canon characters are also welcome. Sometimes people disappear from Hogwarts and sometimes they come back. 3. Schoolwork Dumbledore's ghost will invite all characters of age and knowledge to teach their specialties to the younger wizards. If your character could be possibly a teacher, or is interested in teaching, refer to this thread to sign up for a teaching position. The courses do not need to be anything serious (unless you want them to be). If your character would be interested in a course, you can look it up from the character's toplevel. Your character doesn't need to be of student age to participate in courses. (They're free for all!) 4. Sign up for your house. Here is a thread for all the Hogwarts houses that your character could be sorted in. 5. This means… war! Are you a Death Eater? A member of the Order? Rival students? It’s likely your character will encounter someone they don’t get along with. Duels are fine, but beware that any attacks meant to cause harm (curses) will backfire on the caster. If your character doesn’t care that damage will also bounce back to them, then Dumbledore’s ghost will be intervening. He won’t tolerate harm to any of his students… even if it’s harm to Tom. 6. Housecup Of course points will be awarded and taken away by teachers and prefects. You can leave a comment in this thread for the points taken or given. Madam Rosmerta will add them up together for the next post. You can also sign up for a prefect role. Each house has one and that one will change in each post. First come, first serve is the rule, except if your character was a prefect in the last post, you can't sign up in this one.
Name in the title line. Do not leave an empty toplevel. Write a starter like you would to a game event. Link to preferences if you’d prefer. 2. Tag other characters The name of the game is interaction. Why is your character here? Do they want to be here? Are they being reunited with lost loved ones? 3. Have fun! Dumbledore (and Madame Rosmerta) is watching. Behave yourselves. Don’t godmod, infomod, respect other players, etc. |
Dungeons
Decisively, he bolted out of his chair in the common room and headed for the door. But he nearly collided with a slender figure just outside the door. "Hey! Watch where you're--"
As he spoke, he looked up at the young man's face, and felt the bottom of his stomach drop out. He'd only seen him at a distance before now. He'd tried to write the uncanny likeness off as a coincidence, as he was clearly far too young to be his uncle. But well within arm's reach, there was no denying it. No way to write it off. He knew that exact face, just many years older. He struggled to find his voice again, as the color drained from his face.
His mind raced. Was this some sort of transfiguration? A reverse aging potion? Was he here to keep an eye on Draco? Wasn't Snape enough?!
no subject
His demeanor remains unreadable as ever, but the steel blue of his eyes have somehow grown colder at the sight of the blond. He doesn't speak a word, however; simply stares for a long moment. Then, his arms slowly comes to a fold against his chest as he leans down slightly to look him directly in the eyes. "Do I know you?" His voice is frigid as ice, yet there is a hint of... curiousity, perhaps?
"I haven't seen you round here before. What's your name?"
Let's see how his most favourite nephew will act around him if he thinks he doesn't recognize him.
no subject
That is until now. Until he saw his uncle's face on a student, and his uncle behaved as if they didn't know each other. Was this a trick, or part of the strange magic at play here? He'd met people yelling about it being years later than it should be, could this be his uncle from his own student days, before Draco was born? But shouldn't he at least recognize a Malfoy? There were too many options, too many possibilities to consider to even make a careful guess.
"Draco..." he said, trying to play at being brave. Slowly, he was able to stand up properly again, looking his uncle in the eye. It was easier if he told himself this was his uncle from previous years. "Draco Malfoy. And you?" He even managed a sharp, if unsteady, note of contempt in his tone.
no subject
He straightens back up to his full height and, as Draco introduces himself, he allows a brief flicker of recognition to cross over his features. “You’re related to Lucius then.” It’s less a question than a general statement. “Who are you to him?” Considering the current state of the school, Rodolphus wouldn’t have to pretend he’s never heard of this particular Malfoy. It’s entirely possible.
“I’m Rodolphus Lestrange,” he sounds perfectly bored as he extends his left hand out to him, “heir to the Lestrange family. You must have heard of us.” Once again, less a question than an overall statement. After all, who hasn’t heard of the Lestranges?
He doesn’t see it changing, not now or in the future. Not if he has anything to say about it.
no subject
He looked to the offered hand, then back to the other's face. In abandoning his charade, he was able to reclaim some small piece of his confidence, able to push that fear down a little further. He hoped it would impress his uncle, a man whom he'd never been able to impress in his entire life.
"I know who you are," his voice finally firm. "Just as you know quite well who I am. If he's sent you, if anyone thought this...disguise would work, you're sorely mistaken!" He even managed to summon a little fire into his eyes, clinging to the one thing that kept him going. He needed to do this alone, and he would do it. For his life and that of his parents.
