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. |

"Lily," he starts hesitantly. "I'm so sorry about not being there when it happened. I don't know how much you already know about what really happened but I'd like to say I had never any intentions of betraying either of your trusts, and I never would. Nevertheless, I'm truly sorry for not being there to help you."
Blame is a tricky thing. He had been so wrapped up in his own business, in the order's business to see what was going on. He had known of course that James and Sirius had seemed very distant and now he's old enough to admit that he hadn't sought to change that because of self-pity and irritation, which is a poor excuse, especially when they lost so much because of it.

She tucks her wand away (never will she make the mistake of not having it on her person... even here) and turns to face him. Her hands are reaching up, gently cupping his cheeks, coaxing him to lean forward so that she can press a soft kiss to his forehead.
"I know." Her fingers tuck some errant locks of hair behind his ears. "We spoke with Sirius earlier. He explained what happened, with you and Wormy--" A sharp inhale. "With Peter."
Her darling Remus, how can he possibly look so ragged? Her hands slip down his shoulders, smoothing out any wrinkles she might've created by pulling him down. Then she's looking up at him, frowning.
"I'm sorry too," she whispers. And she looks it. Green eyes darting as she studies his features, looking a little glassier. "I'm sorry for doubting you. For believing that you could--I'm glad you weren't there, that night." That much, she knows. It would've been a slaughter, and now with the knowledge that Harry survived the night, she's come to terms. Or is on her way to. In time. "You were there for him when he was older. When he needed a friendly face. That means much more to me than you'll ever realize."

"I wish I had been there more for him," he says quietly, feeling guilt press tight against his chest. "This is fully on me, Lily. I wasn't. He's been living with your sister and I think he hasn't been exactly happy." Not that he had known that. But it doesn't change the fact that he should have. He should have checked up on Harry at least once during the twelve years. Why hadn't he? Because of petty reasons.
He reaches up to grasp her hands between his and holds them gently. "I fear I've failed him quite a bit. But I tried to make up for it in the past few years. He's grown to be so much like James and you. So stubborn and brilliant at the same time. I taught him for a year. As a Defense against the dark arts professor."
There's a bit of light in those pale green eyes when he talks about teaching the boy. He had done right by him then. For a while at least.

It's long ago, longer for Remus, but not that long. The wound is still fresh enough for her, aching over the loss of her sister. Yet it's nothing compared to the thought of Harry with them. Of him being even the slightest bit unhappy.
"Did you know where he was? While he was growing up?" Did he hate she, James, and Sirius for doubting him? Sirius mentioned his time being jailed. It's all a mess. All of this is one big, bloody mess.
The worst of it is seeing him in this state and wondering just how much of it they all contributed to it with their actions. So very grave and tired. It brings a great sadness to her which weighs on her heart. One that has nothing to do with her son or husband, and everything to do with her dear friend. One of her boys.
One of her boys becoming a professor. Teaching DADA, no less.
"What did you teach him? Was he any good at it?" Oh, she shouldn't sound so desperate to learn as much as she can about her son and what her dear friend has been up to, but she is.

"I taught the class about magical dark beasts. A little bit. We dealt with a boggard and some redknaps and so on. But I also gave Harry private lessons. I taught him to cast a Patronus. He could cast a corporeal patronus at the age of 13, Lily. Do you know anyone else who have done that?" Remus thinks it says enough about Harry's DADA chops. The boy is a natural.
Which is a blessing to him considering what he is getting himself in middle of, the war and Voldemort rising.

As she fills their cups, then carefully measures out the leaves, she listens attentively to his words. There's a grin blooming on her face. A patronus!
"You taught him that?" Oh this is one proud mama. And one very grateful friend. "At thirteen. But... why would he need a patronus at such a young age?"
