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. |

"They were?" he asks, eyes wide and curious. "They fought like that too? Did she kick him out?"
It seems to be the Potter curse, having a thing for those sharp tempered gingers. Not that Harry is complaining. He rather likes his gingers. (Both of them. All of them. Ginny most of all.)
"Did my dad also have a sharp temper?" he asks, a little quietly so, looking at Sirius with almost pleadingly. His mum and dad are like the poster couple of eternal love for him. If they had issues, maybe it's not so hopeless for him and Ginny too.
"And yeah, I guess you're right about that." He's more than eager to drop the topic, though. Because Sirius always has something much more interesting to talk about.

With a chuckle, he leans forward and laces his fingers loosely on the tabletop.
"Oh, she had a temper for sure, your mother. She could be very.. energetic," he says, the ghost of a nostalgic smile creeping over his face. "Your dad's temper wasn't quite so bad, but he had a real penchant for walking right into trouble without looking both ways for it, and he never really learned not to. So he was on the sofa quite often, yes."
no subject
He knows she was good and had a heart in a right place. He's seen enough of Snape's memories to know Lily Evans like he did. But he's only really seen glimpses of his dad, nothing much to make him familiar at all.
"Was he angry about it?" he asks curiously. He's always so angry when he fights with Ginny. At first it seems like the best solution to just walk away. Then half an hour passes and he misses her terribly.
no subject
"Mm, not angry so much, I don't think," he says with a shrug, squinting thoughtfully. "More dramatic, got terribly mopey when she shouted at him, you know. He got angry, but not quite as often, but doesn't mean I didn't have to endure his moaning and whining."
no subject
Harry grins at Sirius' assessment of his dad. He sounds a little like Ron in that regard. Only Ron gets mad really often, but he also mopes and Harry has to listen to his whining and griping.
"I bet mum didn't like that very much."
no subject
He's really eating up Harry's attention though, it feels nice to chat with him like this, without a war in the way. "No, she didn't fall for his crocodile tears at all, to his chagrin," he says, pulling a plate of cookies near with two fingers. "She was ruthless, your mum, kept him in his place."
no subject
They're both equally sentimental and starved for love. It's a match made in heaven.
"She was very bright, wasn't she?" he says and leans his jaw to his palm, propping his elbow on the table. "Professor Slughorn told me about her when she was still in school. But I think dad wasn't slow either. It sounds like they knew each other pretty well, though."
