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.

Charging? Please. Bellatrix is a regal being. Graceful and beautiful, far more than even a unicorn. She doesn't charge anywhere. She walks with purpose!

Those purposeful steps come to an abrupt halt upon the calling--not of her given name, but of the one permitted only to family. She whips around, grey eyes cold as they rove over the hall behind her... only to land upon a ghost. A tilt of her head follows, much like a bird of prey scrutinizing whether said ghost was victim or opponent.

"You may be dead," she says slowly, "But that won't stop me from finding a way to make you suffer if you continue to address me so familiarly. That right belongs to the Blacks, only." Though the ghost is muted in color like all others, the facial structure would suggest he's from a prominent bloodline. Which one? "What is it?"

"It's a good thing I'm one of them." By rights, he should be cowering, shouldn't he? But he isn't. He's even beginning to smile at the icy eloquence of the threat. That in itself might be proof he's family. Proof she may need, as he can't remember the last time he'd seen her. Not since she'd married.

Of course he'd gone to the wedding, naturally, but they hadn't exchanged more than a few words, and she'd had other things on her mind. And that won't happen for several more years. It's no wonder she doesn't recognize him, dead or alive.

"Bella, it's Regulus."

I'm one of them. A brow arches, arms folding over her chest. Just which Black could he possibly be? She's unaware of any inhabiting the school. Hasn't seen one in all the years she's attended, as well. Neither her father nor uncle mentioned family that might've passed, either recently or not so much.

"Regulus?" Now she frowns. Her steps are with purpose as she draws nearer, grey eyes sharp. Regulus is but a babe at this point in her life; however, there's no discounting the fact that this could very well be an instance of the ghostly headmaster playing tricks on them all once again. Cissy is older. Regulus, as well?

If this is Regulus... something twists in her chest. Her little cousin. "How old were you?"
