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.


    1. Toplevel with your character
    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.

Prongs gets no response of course, but while he's moving fast enough that the bone doesn't actually hit him it does whiz past his head and he stops dead just in time to hear what's said to him. What the hell? From the staff table?

He turns on his heel, looking incredulous and not quite like James anymore, what with the green eyes slitted in annoyance and the lack of glasses. "What the hell? I didn't do anyyyy--" Oh. That's Sirius Black, isn't it.

"I'm not sure I'm who you're looking for. Professor."

Oh. Uh. Well, this is awkward. That certainly isn't James, even if they look a bit alike, a lot alike, to be fair, but this place, he's learning, is full of strange such anomalies. Sirius doesn't disguise his surprise, though it's brief, and then he's sitting back again.

"Ah, my mistake," he says, breezily. "Must've mistook you for someone else."

Sorry for throwing a chicken bone at you, or something.

For a moment Albus just stands there. He knows who Sirius would be looking for and he swallows, considering his options. "No, it's," his brow furrows like he's not sure what to say.

Finally he takes a step forward, gaze almost hungry. "He's my grandfather." A beat. "James, I mean."

When there's a silence it's to just look at him. "Sorry that I'm not him," he says, and it sounds almost mournful. It's not clear if he means literally or being inherently different.

Sorry? What on earth's he sorry for?

"Don't b-"

Wait. Grandfather?

Give him a moment, this place continues to take him by surprise, one mindblowing revelation at a time. Sirius looks mildly startled for half a moment, before cycling quickly through suspicion, disbelief, and finally, astonished amusement. Brows high, he cracks a broad grin.

"Grandfather, eh?" Sirius whistles, swears colorfully, then leans forward on his elbows. "So what does that make me, a grand-godfather? Hang on - so who's your dad? Harry?" It's got to be, of course, it's not as if James popped off any other children, not that Sirius knows of, at least, and he considers himself a bit of an authority on James Potter. Still, he's quickly learning that you never can know for sure, in this place.
