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. |

"Sixth year, is it?" he asks, a hint of a smile gathering on his lips. "I thought you looked a little young." Harry isn't that much older, three years. But he might as well be decades older given what happened during that one particular year.
"You're trying to kill Dumbledore this year. It's not going to work."
no subject
Far too late, he managed to find some composure. "As always you're talking nonsense. Did you actually want something or did you just want an excuse to harass me?" But he wasn't looking at Harry. He was plucking imaginary lint from his left sleeve, to hide the fact that he was checking to make sure it was all smooth and his arm was covered.
no subject
If there is something Harry has always regretted, it's that time when he cursed Draco in the bathroom. He has regretted the sixth year in so many ways. So many times. Maybe he can fix a little bit of it with this Draco.
"It's not too late to stop, Draco."
no subject
His hand tightened into a fist and he half turned to keep his left arm out of Harry's sight. Not very subtle, Draco.
"I don't know what you're on about, but it's a pretty stupid accusation, even from you."
He should have bolted. Just walked away and make sure he avoids Harry from now on. He tells himself that he needs to do something to keep the other quiet, but deep down he finds it difficult to walk away from someone, even someone he hates so much, who sees the truth. Pity and sympathy without being mocked. He finds it hard to turn his back on that, even if he can't acknowledge that it's even there.
no subject
He steps in closer, searching until he finds Draco's gaze and holds it, tight and demanding even, chasing him if he tries to look away.
"There's no point lying to me. I have been through the war already. I know how it ends. I know how you struggle and how you go through with the plan, the vanishing cabinet, you bring it back to life and you let the Death Eaters inside the school. You won't go through the rest of it, though. You aren't that person, Draco. You're no murderer."
He pauses there, looking straight in Draco's eyes, expectant, hopeful.
no subject
"I could be..." it's the right words, but the tone is all wrong. He sounds scared, his voice cracked and hoarse.
But speaking seemed to bring him back to himself. He gave a slight shake of his head as if waking up suddenly. "If I wanted to be," he said, snappish as ever. "I'll prove it!" He had his wand in his hand, but he didn't raise it. That chill had condensed into a sear of ice in his gut.
no subject
"I'll say it again," he repeated. "You're not a murderer.
no subject
He just knew that he had to stop the conversation. He had to stop Harry. Stop him from talking. From telling anyone else about the plan. Until he heard an official order, no timeline disruption could stop him. He'd kill a ghost if he had to.
"Petrificus Totallus!" He shouted rather suddenly, wand flicking at Harry. If he was from far enough in the future, perhaps he needed a reminder of how things used to be.
no subject
He should have, but didn't.
"No--!"
That's how far he got before the spell lashed out and he felt himself going stiff, falling backwards onto the stony ground.
no subject
"Almost poetic, isn't it?" Draco asked, crouching over the fallen boy's knees, unaware that the spell wouldn't last nearly as long as intended. "Shame you didn't have that stupid cloak with you, or else I could leave you here to be trampled by a bunch of idiot first years."
no subject
Just a moment longer and he would be able to cast a spell that would loosen it for good...
