Prompts:
1. The Obligatory Hogwarts School Reunion - Has it been five or ten years since you've been back to Hogwarts? There's no time better than now to see what has changed, what hasn't changed and to visit old professors.

2. The Long Time No See Friend Reunion - Maybe it's been a while since you've met up with your mate. Or maybe you're being reunited after an exciting summer. Whatever it is, it's time to catch up!

3. Oh Shit, That's My Ex! - It's probably been a while. Or maybe not. Either way, you meet again, and it might or might not be awkward.

4. Annual Reunion - You meet in this place once a year to do the same thing. Maybe it's just the two of you, or it's a group thing. Maybe it changes slightly from year to year, maybe it is always exactly the same, but it's definitely a fixture in your calendar.

5. No Reunion for Us - Other people are doing a thing, and you are bailing on it. You might have snuck out of the main event, and hid behind a potted plant with another one who ditched. Or you avoided going in the first place. You might have planned this someone else, or caught them in the act. Either way, you are Not There.

6. Down the Memory Lane - You find an object that brings back a memory. You might want to tell someone who was also there, or maybe someone who wasn't. Either way, it's coming back to you.

7. Go Rogue - Pick and choose your own prompt with the theme around Reunion! We won’t judge. Do your thing.

[OOC: from here!]

The shopping area she'd suggested was not as central to gossip as Diagon or surveillance as Knockturn. Going out among Muggles was really too big a risk on two fronts—the Muggles themselves, and being reported.

The tea room Meda recommended looked all right: charming and inconspicuous. Cissa paused outside. She wasn't given to fidgeting—she'd had a poise since childhood that could conjure tiny crystal quadrupeds and oversee a score of Elves on house finance while balancing four books and Aunt Walburga's cat on her head. It gotten her praise from the Parents and driven Bella raving. (…what didn't, though…) Right now, though, the fingers of one gloved hand worked at those of the other.

Cissa hoped she'd dressed correctly. She wanted to show nicely enough as befit their shared House (because, yes, in the important ways, she and Meda would always remain sisters Black) to show respect and welcome, while also inconspicuous (usually the opposite of intent). Oh well. Cissa was rather good at Glamours, but that felt foolish, so nothing to do about it now. She entered the tea room.

The interior matched the outside with a nice balance of formality and comfort. They may not be at the heart of Society here, but this place still knew how to comport to it. Meda's choice of table, as agreed, was not in its own separate room but in a far corner for privacy. Good. In all ways, Meda's once-unchallenged taste and judgment was nicely displayed.

Cissa couldn't help stiffening her shoulders and back. Once, Meda was the only company Cissa could relax with. They'd see how things were, now…

the house swap meme!


𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒘𝒂𝒑 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒆


A meme for second-guessing the Sorting Hat and scratching that what-if itch. Here's a place to explore what might have been for your character had they been sorted into a different house, where different friends and values awaited them.

Tag In!
Pick or roll for your prompt!
Tag Around!
Have Fun!
AUs/OCs welcome just detail in an ooc note how you're configuring your character into this canon!


THE HOUSES:

𝟏 𝒈𝒓𝒚𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒓 – You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.
Members of Gryffindor have been accused by some of engaging in pointless heroics, but there's no questioning that those in this house are blessed with courage and determination and many have gone on to do great things. Surrounded by so many noble deeds, surely your character can't lose.

𝟐 𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒘 – Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind. Where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind.
What if your character had all the time in the world to finally read? Many might write the members of Ravenclaw off as nerds, but they know how to think outside of the box. Surrounded by quick-witted people, you could go far, or take a tip from Lockhart and just convince everyone you have.

𝟑 𝒔𝒍𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏 – Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends. Those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends.
Resourceful and ambitious Slytherin might not have the best reputation outside of pure-blooded circles, but their crafty minds make them brilliant leaders. The lure of power and influence runs strong with the members of this house, as does the ability to look terrific in black.

𝟒 𝒉𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒑𝒖𝒇𝒇 – You might belong in Hufflepuff, where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, and unafraid of toil.
Fair-minded and steadfast, Hufflepuff might seem like a boring house but their sense of duty makes them as courageous as certain, allegedly spicier houses, and you'll always find a friendly face waiting. Could a little kindness and inclusion change the course for you?

𝟓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒅! – A Muggle AU or students at another of the many wizarding schools entirely? Who knows!

THE SCENARIOS:

𝟏 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 - A chance encounter or a new classmate/member of the faculty? Maybe they're a friend of a friend or someone your professor got to tutor you. Either way you only get one chance to make a first impression.

𝟐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 - For all your friends, foes, families, rivalries, and romantic needs. Co-workers, teammates, housemates, enemies, and everything else you can think of go here.

𝟑 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕! - Fuck around and find out.

Seven Minutes in Heaven


How to play
• Leave a comment with your character's name
RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your scenario. Or do what you want.
• Have fun!

Hard Mode: Limit the experience to 7 comments only.

SCENARIOS
01) One In A Million | The other person is the only reason you agreed to play this game in the first place and now you have them right where you've hoped for all night! Get it!

02) Not My Type | Well, this is awkward. Is it their voice? Attitude? Appearance? You just don't want them anywhere near you. Seven Minutes In Heaven, more like Seven Minutes Of Nope.

03) Seventy Minutes | You're so involved that neither of you notices the door has been locked and everyone else has left the room!

04) Unrequited | Tell them how you feel (so many! emotions!!). Even if you're a little too enthusiastic and your love is unrequited you still have seven minutes of smooching to do, as per game rules. You can't fail!

05) Seconds and Thirds | Some self-proclaimed funny man outside upped the stakes and now a third party has been shoved inside with the two of you. Make the most of it! (Three-way threads ahoy!)

06) Taken | One of you has a significant other and your seven minutes are spent smooching anyway. Oops?

07) Strangers in the Hangers | Hello there, Good Looking. Where has this hottie been all night? Who cares, now they're yours! Enjoy!

08) Long Lost Smooches | You haven't seen them in forever and didn't know they were going to be here tonight. Resolve that UST!

09) Party Pooper | One of those involved is upset because of #PartyShit and now they're trapped in a closet after getting dragged into playing a game they tried to avoid. Cheer them up? With kisses? Good plan.

10) Get A Room | Your seven minutes are up but neither of you wants to stop. Relocate to a spare room!

the transfiguration meme



The Transfiguration Meme


RULES;

1. tag in
2. tag around!
3. use RNG to pick from the scenarios below - or make your own up, that's what 10 is for
4. have fun

HINTS;

We welcome and encourage all OCs. Add a little blurb about your character so other players have an idea what to play with, and feel free to add your preferences and permissions.
Ship, don't ship; make out, don't make out - all is fair game.

SCENARIOS;

1. Animagus. Talking about what animal you’d turn into, mishaps while learning, telling people you're an animagus, being so used to turning into an animal that it’s a default response to any inconvenience by now. Are you registered or unregistered?

2. Turn a rat into a goblet. Are you proud of yourself? Do you regret everything now? Does the goblet have fur?

3. Transfiguring clothes. Maybe you suddenly need a muggle outfit, or you discovered that you're underdressed for an official occasion. Do you need help with your spell? How wearable is the result?

4. Frequently transfigured object. You have this one thing you always end up turning into other thing, and it’s basically a multi-tool now. Or you and your spouse/flatmate can’t agree what colour a piece of furniture should be, so you keep transfiguring it back and forth behind each other’s backs. Either way, you created an unstable monster. It might explode.

5. Pins and needles. Learning basic transfiguration, struggling or doing well, remembering or living through early years of Hogwarts.

6. Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration. You try to transfigure something, only to discover that transfiguration doesn’t work like this. Someone is helping you. Or mocking you. Or standing there ready to explain why it didn’t work out.

7. Body modification. You try to turn a body part bigger or smaller, or give it a different shape. Maybe it’s a disguise, or a prank, or you’re trying to do it to someone else. Might even be a sex thing.

8. Hide and obscure. You transfigure an object because you want to conceal it for whatever reason. Does it stay hidden? Does anyone see you do it? Did you panic and make it look really out of place? Maybe you find a hidden object and are trying to reverse the spell to see what it originally was?

9. Whoops. You try to transfigure something, and it goes terribly wrong. You were going to transfigure that turtle into a teapot, and it still has legs. You didn’t cast a strong enough spell, and the object reverts to its original form in the exact wrong moment. You wanted to turn your curtains Gryffindor gold, and you got a shade that can only be described as “mustard, but worse”. You tried to turn a hedgehog into a pincushion, and long story short, you now have a very pissed off hedgehog.

10. Wildcard! Just turn things into other things and see what happens.

AUs/OCs welcome just detail in an ooc note how you're configuring your character into this canon!



𝟏 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 – Maybe you zigged when you should have zagged, but either way, you don’t know where you are, or how to get back to where you’re supposed to be. Alternately, you’re part of the search party sent to go find the missing person, careful you don’t end up lost yourself!

𝟐 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 – Whatever you did you’ve ended up out in the forest after dark following after The Groundskeeper (or maybe you are the Groundskeeper). Careful, don’t hang too far back from the rest of the group, it’s dangerous out there.

𝟑 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 – Sure there might be spiders and centaurs, along with who knows what else, but you can’t deny how private the forest is, and how easy it is to steal away behind a tree with that certain somebody.

𝟒 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅/𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 – Maybe you’re after some extra credit, or just trying to suck up to a professor, heck, maybe you’re a professor trying to date a professor, or maybe it’s a full moon and you’re after some Fluxweed, either way, better be quick about it!

𝟓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔! – Death Eaters in the castle! Drama in Ravenclaw Tower! A Professor turned evil! An emotional exit and storming off turned cataclysmic! Dragons! Something serious has happened to bring you to the forest today!

𝟔 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 – A Rite of Passage? Or maybe you lost a bet or ran your mouth too much for too long. Whatever happened it’s time to put up or shut up and gain bragging rights for the rest of the term.

𝟕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒆! – Whatever it was you were just doing, it’s time to get away, and what better way to make sure your retreat is covered than to cut a path through the Forbidden Forest?

𝟖 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒌𝒆 – You don’t get why everyone thinks this place is dangerous, you love coming to the forest for some fresh air and creature spotting/hiking/bird watching.

𝟗 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒍𝒇/𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 – Exactly what it says on the tin.

𝟏𝟎 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒅! – Go wild! Live your life!

① Transfiguration. Pay attention and maybe your teacup will turn into a whole rat instead of just a furry piece of nonsense! Ask someone for help.
② Potions. Watch out for Snape. How's that nastily complicated brew coming along, by the way? Looks like one of you screwed it up!
③ Charms. A relatively easy class ... when your friend isn't bugging you. The trouble is that you're both having too much fun together to concentrate.
④ History of Magic. ... IT'S JUST SO MUCH FUN. Spice up the lesson with your buddy's help!
⑤ Par-tay in the Common Room. Who the heck knows why it's going on, but you're not missing out on this for anything and neither is your friend! Who cares if they're not from the same House, right?
⑥ Quidditch. Training or playing an official inter-house match? Showing off or just trying to stay airborne? Good luck and don't fall off your broom!
⑦ Detention. Shelling out manky old exoskeletons bare-handed? Re-alphabetizing an entire section of the library all night long? Maybe you're unfortunate enough to have been grouped together in the Forbidden Forest.
⑧ The Astronomy Tower. Whether a late night class or a romantic evening together, the stars are beautiful.
⑨ Hogsmeade. You have a whole day here with your friends! Where will you go and what are you up to?
⑩ The Great Hall. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? A feast sure sounds nice, be it for Halloween or Christmas. Celebrate together!

Of Lessons & Tournaments (for Draca)

Cassie couldn't imagine participating in the Triwizard Tournament. Even if fifteen-year-olds were allowed to submit their names, it wasn't anything she'd have desired to sign up for. She didn't need the recognition or money. It wasn't ego, it was a simple fact. She had plenty of both, in spades, and as far as she saw it, it was someone else's turn.

She was happy for Cedric Diggory being chosen as Hogwart's champion. She couldn't imagine anyone else taking on that role for the school. Everyone had rallied behind him and truthfully, it was refreshing to not have the typical inter-house competition.

One thing she missed from this absolute mess? Flying and the Quidditch games.

Cassie made her way through the library to a small table they usually commandeered near the back. It was quiet and away from the main thoroughfare, which was exactly what they needed sometimes. Cassie sat her bag down in the empty chair then sat across from the other girl.

"While the tournament is fun and all," there was a hint of sarcasm to her voice, "I miss flying and quidditch," she finished before taking out her advanced ruin's book and parchment.

Cassie looked at Draca and gave her a smile. The other girl was always so immaculate and absolutely beautiful. She wasn't sure how it was possible but somewhere over the holidays, she felt even closer to her best friend.

Of Mentors & Mentees (for Draco)

To know that in a matter of hours Newt Scamander was going to be in their home was bloody mindblowing, if you asked Harry.

"Do you think he'll be pleased by what he sees," Harry asked, walking over to Draco where he stood near the thestral herd. That wasn't to say he wasn't confident that they were doing all they could for the animals who made this their home because he was. He knew that they wouldn't still be here if they weren't.

Still though.

But this was a world-famous magizoologist and honestly, he was hoping they were doing right by them.

In his coat pocket, tucked in safely so it wouldn't move around too much was the Occamy egg that had mysteriously found its way to their home, staying warm. Honestly, he felt taken with the egg already and simply wanted to keep it safe and sound. And close.

"Obviously, I know they wouldn't still be here if they were unhappy," he continued thoughtfully and ran his hand down one of the thestral's necks. It was the first thestral that had made it to their home that winter evening and never left for any long period of time.
