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!
How to play
① Tag in
② Go to RNG and roll 1-10. That's your scenario!
③ Tag around!
④ Have fun. :)
Scenarios
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!
