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. |

He watches Albus' profile, taking in the sight of him. ] I never have.
[ There's a pause then and his head cants to the side as though he's curious, though his hands stay clasped. ] Interesting is certainly a word for it. I... have, yes. We spoke very recently. [ No sense in making Albus think that his counterpart knew he was here all along. ] It's strange. Seeing him.
no subject
perhaps, perhaps.
finally, he turns away from the lake, taking the step that will bring them close enough to touch. his hand lifts, fingers gentle as he touches them to gellert's mouth and chin. ] It's as I told him, then-- if you want me to remain at your side, there are things that have to change. Otherwise.. well. I'm certain you've done your research, and you know very well how stubborn I am.
no subject
His expression is soft when Albus approaches him, smiling faintly in response to those touches. ] Did you tell him that? He didn't tell me the details of your meeting. [ It's soft and he searches Albus' face for... something. It's unclear whether he finds what he wants there. He reaches out to idly brush his fingers over the other wizard's cheek. ] I don't want for us to part. I don't want for anything to happen to Ariana. [ Softer. ] I don't want for everything to fall apart.
[ He laughs softly then, shifting closer with the same easy confidence as always. ] We're both stubborn, Albus. Do you think perhaps we can find our way together even now?
no subject
Our meeting.. [ he trails off, then heaves a sigh. ] Well. Our meeting was a bit more intimate than I was initially expecting. Perhaps you'll be pleased to know that you're just as magnetic twenty years from now.
[ despite himself, he tips his cheek into the brush of gellert's fingers, eyes slipping shut. .. no, he's certain that gellert doesn't want anything to happen to ariana, if only because of what it does to albus and to their relationship. still.. can they? ]
.. I don't know. [ his hand lifts, fingers lacing with gellert's, squeezing gently. ] I'm not willing to do the things that you are, Gellert.
no subject
[ With an infuriating little smile. He watches Albus lean into the touch, thumb rubbing over the skin with a sort of open affection that may seem less genuine now. Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. The point is that he takes care with it and treats Albus as he's always done. When Albus threads their fingers his smile widens and he grasps at the other wizard's hand a bit more tightly, moving forward to press a soft kiss to his mouth before he can say anything else. ]
I only do what's necessary. [ A soft exhale. ] So help me find ways for it to not be necessary. You know that together we could rule the world. Instead let's do what's needed to really be free. Surely that's simpler, isn't it? Albus. I aspire to always be by your side.
no subject
[ it's bizarre, kissing the gellert of his time again so soon after the gellert of the future; a study in contrasts, in fact. and this gellert lacks the same pent-up near-desperation that two decades instilled in his future self.
he sighs, shifting to lean into gellert, his free hand coming up to curl loosely in the other teen's shirt. ] --I want to do good things, Gellert, and good isn't always great. Therein, perhaps, lies our greatest difference.
no subject
Gellert's expression filters more somber slowly, and Albus especially will know when that's genuine. It is now, fully so. ] Albus. I want to ask you a favour. I don't suppose I deserve it, generally speaking, but I'm still going to ask this of you.
[ He moves so close, encroaching, free hand settling on Albus' shoulder, keeping him there-- ] If things cannot be changed and we do fight, I want you to kill me.
[ There's a horrible silence. ] If you can't do it months from now then do it years from now the second time. [ When he takes a breath there's something blatantly desperate in the eyes staring right into Albus'. He means it. ]
Albus, I can't understand love. I've tried, for you. If you love me at all at this very moment, kill me if it comes to that. I don't fear death, I fear being left to rot. You're the only one that can beat me so thoroughly. Please.
[ Something in his expression shutters away after that, unused to dragging so much out of himself as he takes a step back. ] --I apologize. That's asking too much, isn't it?
