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. |

[ Not really. He sighs, trying not to focus on the tone of Scorpius' voice because it makes him want to just pretend nothing happened. But a lot happened: he wants an apology and an explanation. He wants so many things and he's still bitter and angry and pretty often feels like punching a wall in annoyance.
He doesn't. ] Don't muck about with time, remember? Who would even have a time-turner strong enough to do that? None of this makes sense. It's almost like some kind of purgatory but the problem there is we're seeing people younger than we know them so they can't have all died.

Al is still mad. He knows without even looking at him properly, just from what he can see of the set of Al's jaw in his peripheral vision, how tense he is.] I don't know, I'm just theorizing. It could have been a newly created one that went horribly wrong. What else can move people through time? [He sighs, shifting the books held to his chest in his arms.] If it were some kind of purgatory, that'd mean that-- we died too, wouldn't it? Can't be that.
no subject
[ Suddenly he seems agitated, stopping and looking at Scorpius full-on. ] Did you see that Tom Riddle and Gellert Grindelwald are teaching here? I'm learning charms from Gellert Grindelwald. None of this makes any bloody sense.
no subject
His face pales at the reminder of who was in the school with them.] I saw, but I-- I didn't want to believe it. Who would allow that? It's not as though everything's under their control, if that were the case, it'd be flooded with dark magic here. And half the students and other teachers certainly wouldn't be here. If this was purposeful and not a catastrophic accident, does the person behind it truly believe we can-- peacefully coincide with just an anti-curse barrier?

That last thought is enough to startle him back into reality. When he smiles it's sharp and a little bitter. That's not going to happen now, is it? ] I'm not in Riddle's course, it's probably he's avoiding Potters if he knows what happened. [ A breath. ] but Grindelwald's class, he's so... [ His brow furrows. ] He's so brilliant, Scorpius. He makes casting easy in ways no one else ever did and I don't feel like a bloody failure when I'm in there. I don't understand how someone with that kind of skill can just go off and do the things he did. His goal seemed so noble but the way he did it was so...
[ He pauses. ] Do you think that this kind of place could change them for the better? I think probably Riddle's past saving already but Grindelwald, I don't know, his goal was to abolish the statute but if he could be turned from the part about ruling over Muggles instead of coexisting... [ He sounds almost ashamed to say it. But it's there, in the open, and he searches Scorpius' face for a reaction. ] If he could be turned from the methods he used, it might've worked.
no subject
Scorpius' concern grows at Al's words. He thinks very carefully about how to say what he needs to say without making Al even angrier at him.]
Being a good teacher doesn't change anything. Of course he's brilliant, he'd have to be to do what he did. What do you think it takes, to change the mind of someone who thinks the way he does to the point that he does?
[Scorpius knows the sort of things it takes, he's lived with the fall-out all his life.]
And who's to say his "goal" isn't a clever lie to make his cause sound appealing to those who take issue with his methods?
