Wizarding AU
 HARRY POTTER AU MEME You're a wizard! Or perhaps you're a magical creature or a ghost. More importantly, where do your loyalties lie? Are you the Dark Lord or one of the Death Eaters? Perhaps you teach at Hogwarts or work at the ministry. Are you a member of the Order of Phoenix? Are you a student in Hogwarts? In which house did the Sorting Hat place you? Leave a comment with your character's name and canon and your preferences in the title line. Then put down a few ideas about your character in your top level. Both AU characters and canon characters are welcome. List of prompts: (Choose from these or make up your own.) 1. HOGWARTS Are you a teacher or a student? Which house are you in? What subjects do you teach? Next week might be the most important quidditch match of the year and you're the team captain! Maybe you're the potions professor and someone just blew up their cauldron. 2. AURORS Are you a trainee? The head Auror who has been dueling with dark wizards all your adult life? A dark wizard? Catch you if we can! Or maybe you're an auror breaking curses in a Death Eater safehouse. 3. DIAGON ALLEY A bustling locale filled to the brim with wizarding shops and taverns. Are you a business owner? Perhaps you're a wand maker or a student buying your books for the next year in Hogwarts. Maybe you just want to get a shot of firewhiskey in the Three Broomsticks. 4. MINISTRY OF MAGIC Do you work here? You could be in the Department of Mysteries, handling a new case about vanishing cabinets. Or maybe you work in the misuse of muggle artifacts office, dispelling singing teacups or flying cars. Is it a busy day, a slow week, or just another day in the office? Maybe you're one of the gossips who just heard of the newest bit of juicy gossip. 5. THE OLDEST AND PUREST BLOOD Were you born to a pureblood family? Perhaps you're an heir of great, questionable fortune. Maybe you'd like nothing to do with your family who supports the Dark Lord. What if you fell in love with someone your family doesn't approve of? Or maybe both of your parents are muggle born and this is still all new to you. 6. FLYING There are great many ways to fly: broomsticks, hippogriffs, dragons. Take your pick and soar through the skies! 7. DUELING/SPELL CASTING What's the fun in being a wizard if you can't cast spells? Are you good at something specific? Do you use silent spells a lot? Perhaps you're the best dueler with a wand that's been seen for ages. Or maybe you're just starting out, and a spell just backfired in your face. 8. ST. MUNGO'S HOSPITAL FOR MAGICAL MALADIES AND INJURIES Did your spell go haywire? Did you stick a satsuma up your nostril? It happens. Happily there's a hospital for your needs. Or maybe you work there, healing all those poor and silly wizards who turn up in desperate need of your care. 9. AZKABAN A fortress island in the middle of the Northern sea, full of the most dangerous dark wizards. Are you a resident, or visiting? Watch out for those dementors! 10. POTIONS You brewed the best pick-me-up potion but something went wrong? Maybe you ended up purple in the face. Or you gave a love potion to the wrong person. Maybe you mixed your hangover potion with magical viagra? It happens. But now you have to deal with it. 11. MAGICAL CREATURES Do you work with dragons? Perhaps you have some giant blood in you. Or maybe you were bit by a werewolf and your first full moon is nearing. Maybe you found an injured unicorn. Or your house has become infested with boggarts. 12. WILD CARD Come up your own scenario. |

Roland Deschain | The Dark Tower | OTA
It isn't the odd design of his robes that's making the woman manning this desk at London's Ministry of Magic turn him away; there are plenty odd robes here, and the fact that his are too thin for this weather, built oddly around the legs to allow for more mobility, that shouldn't make him stand out. It might be the wands strapped on over those robes, though. Maybe he should have hidden the second one, acquired later, back home. Maybe he should have holstered them differently, probably no reason for wizards here to have an arrangement very like a cowboy's gunbelts to hold them. To him it looks neither threatening nor overblown and ridiculous; to him it's sensible. You want to be able to draw them quickly, after all.
Roland tries to remember how unusual any of that might seem to the people here. He can't.
Well, nevermind that then. Maybe it's something else. Maybe it's his accent, damnably American - it'd done him good the last time he was here but it's a great deal easier to fit in with children, it seems, than adults. Perhaps children are more easily impressed. Or maybe it's the green stripes on that scarf around his neck. Her robes are accented in red, and there always had been a rivalry there, hadn't there? He remembers that now, too late to do him any good.
He does not leave. He turns around, puts his back to her - makes him itch a little to do it but it's very crowded here, his back is always going to be to somebody - and sighs heavily, loudly, running a hand over his jaw. He feels stubble there, and that's rare enough to be notable. Maybe that's why she doesn't trust him enough to give him proper directions. It hasn't occurred to him that the grief, the exhaustion of a great deal of travel, maybe even the desperation are probably written all into the drawn lines of his face, into the bags under his eyes.
Is he blocking the way of the next person in line? Maybe. Is he paying any attention to that line, or to whatever mood the witches and wizards making it up might be in? He certainly is not. Hasn't given up yet, after all, and he has a great deal more on his mind than lines.
