The Wizarding Meme

Now we've all seen this before, a Hogwarts AU meme!

⚝RULES:
- Post with your character, the fandom, their house and if you want to, their year (or what their house was when they were a student, etc etc.)
- Character can be a Hogwarts Student, a visiting student for the Triwizard Tournament, or an adult of any sort!
- Roll between 1-14 at RNG, or don't!
- Reply to others.
- Profit.

1 ⚝ CLASS: You may pick the class, but really the class picks you. Passing notes? Eying up the teacher? In class whispering? Spells going wrong? Any thing goes!

2 ⚝ LIBRARY: SSSSHHHH! It's study time, but some just don't see it that way.

3 ⚝ HOGSMEADE: With all that hard work, it's time for a well deserved break. Go for a walk, drop by the Three Broomsticks, get some shopping done, or maybe take a peek into the Shrieking Shack, so long as something doesn't grab you.

4 ⚝ QUIDDITCH: For some people, the Quidditch pit is the place to be. Whether you're practicing, watching a game or just doing homework in the stands, this might just be the place for you.

5 ⚝ FORBIDDEN FOREST: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? IT'S FORBIDDEN. Be careful the spiders don't get you.

6 ⚝ DIAGON ALLEY: Whether near or far, this is where your fellow wizards and witches will gather. Making a day of it or just dropping in to get some chores done? Take a load off, maybe keep an eye out for your friends as they come out of Gringotts or sneak off into Knockturn Alley.

7 ⚝ MEAL TIME: Ah, the Great Hall. A wonderful place to work or play, but then again there's always the Kitchens if you know where to find them.

8 ⚝ YULE BALL: Time to put your best foot forward. That is, until the Weird Sister's start to play. Then, all bets are off. Maybe somebody even spiked the punch when Professor McGonagall wasn't looking.

9 ⚝ SNEAKING AROUND: The Restricted Section? Going to get a midnight snack from the kitchens? Or someplace else? ...Are you sure you should really be in here?

10 ⚝ WANDERING THE GROUNDS: Much like sneaking around, but without the threat of...

11 ⚝ DETENTION: Well, that's what you get for...whatever you did. This isn't going to be fun, you can be sure of that.

12 ⚝ HOGWARTS EXPRESS: Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts! All aboard the Hogwarts Express, want anything from the trolly dear?

13 ⚝ COMMON ROOM: Perhaps you and somebody in your house are just chilling... or maybe- have you been crafty enough to sneak somebody from another house in?

14 ⚝ ACCIO OPTION: Pick your own or make something else up!

[ She jumps at the bang, and the cauldron she's currently swearing at goes rolling off under a bench. Instead of chasing it, she twists around to give him a look that would have scoured him clean if he'd been round, made of pewter and covered in charred flobberworm. ]

Edward! What are ye doing here? [ jfc if the professor comes back she'll be the one blamed for that door. ]

Can't you tell? I'm your gallant prince, come to rescue you from the dungeons.

[He swaggers in, which is awkward, given he seems to be concealing something under his robes at the same time. Then he sniffs the air and makes a face.]

Merlin's beard, it smells like a rat's arse down here. Fancy quitting this place and going for a stroll in the grounds? I've scrounged up some food from dinner for us both.

[ She snorts at that, and leans down to try and fish the cauldron from under the table. ]

Oh, does it? I hadn't noticed at all, like. [ Rat's arse is probably in the list of ingredients ruining her robes lbr. Wizards use some weird shit in their potions and she hates everything. ] I'd leave with ye in a flash, except Professor Torres took my bloody wand.

[ speaking of, that'd better be your wand or some industrial-strength cauldron cleaner under your robes, Kenway. ]

Don't worry about old Torres. And I've an idea to get you out of here with an excuse, although you'll want to step back.

[The lumpy thing from beneath his robes becomes obvious to see when he produces... ta da! A tiny cage. A cage with a stickman in it-- a bowtruckle, which looks none too pleased at being confined and carried around for hours on end.]

We leave this angry little fellow in here, so it'll be too dangerous for you to stay in detention. While everyone panics and tries to catch it, you get your wand back, and no one notices, while you're off scot free. What do you say?

[The bowtruckle hisses. Apparently it disapproves of this plan, but Edward ignores it.]

[ She recoils from the cage, not exactly a fan of magical creatures at the best of times and especially not one that's next to her face and hissing at her. And honestly she doesn't appreciate the implication that she can't handle herself around something the size of her hand... but she's retrieved her cauldron by this point, and one look at the gunk still crusted around its rim is enough to decide her. ]

If this don't work, you'll be the one owning up to it. Understood?

Hey, I'm sticking my neck out for you here, show a bit of appreciation. [Also he mostly just likes causing havoc for fun as much as defying the teachers for her sake, but she doesn't need to know that part.] If we're caught, we go down together.

[He crouches down, keeping his hands carefully away from the bars. Tiny bastard liked to bite.]

Now get out into the hall, and I'll let this thing out. You go get help, make a big fuss, and I'll get your wand when everyone is distracted.

[ Yeah, she'll let him believe that. Worst case scenario for her, she has to finish her detention tomorrow evening. But there's loyalty amongst delinquents yet, so she shrugs assent. ]

Alright, meet me in the hospital wing after. [ She's already at the door, and takes a deep breath of the - slightly - clearer air before making a beeline for the stairs up to the main corridor. Professor, professor, there's somethin' loose in the dungeons! ]

[As soon as she heads off, Edward lets the bowtruckle loose in the dungeon, then slams the door shut behind it.

Well, mostly shut. There's just about enough room for the creature to "accidentally" escape, buying him more time while the professors run around trying to capture it.

Picking up the cage to hide the evidence, Edward runs up after her, hiding behind a tapestry when another professor runs by to find the source of the shouting. Then he slips into the secret passage behind it, ears strained for the sounds of Torres and Anne. Once they were gone, he could sneak in and get the wand...]

[ It actually, somehow and against all odds, works out. Granted, Torres sneers at her for not being able to manage a bowtruckle and only the fact that she's wandless saves her from being suspended for hexing a teacher, but. Other than that, she's grudgingly excused from finishing her detention and told to go straight back to Ravenclaw Tower.

Like hell. Instead, she's to be found lurking in the corridor outside the hospital wing as promised, since Mary's asleep and therefore Not To Be Disturbed. She's not forgotten Edward promised her dinner. ]

[Cheerful whistling announces Edward's arrival before he even turns the corner into the corridor, a pack slung over his shoulder and a spring in his step. When he spots Anne, he grins.]

To think you doubted me, Anne. Edward Kenway, he greatest and craftiest wizard this school has ever seen! [He reaches into his robes, and produces her wand.] Here's your twig, I know you've missed it.

Shame on me, I'll never doubt your luck again. [ But she'll take her wand, thanks. He wins points for giving it back straight away, so for today, he's the most brilliant wizard she's ever met. She immediately points it down at her own robes and mutters a Tergeo, and is blessedly cleaner than she's been in hours.

When she grins back up at him it's her usual expression. The detention and bowtruckle are things of the past. ]

So ye promised me a stroll, and dinner.

[The way she says that makes him feel a twinge of guilt, of Caroline and of Bristol, but nothing was meant by it, right? He's a seventh year now. Soon he'll be gone and Anne will find someone else. Jack, maybe.

This is nothing serious.]

That I did, and I have all our grub here. [He pats his pack.] Might take a bit of sneaking to get out onto the grounds, but chances are everyone's still chasing our little friend to bother noticing us.

[ Let's be honest, not even Anne knows who Anne is going out with at any given moment. Jack thinks he is, but Jack crashed and burned the moment he realised NEWTs are actually a thing that can and will affect his future and she hasn't seen him for like two weeks. Maybe he tried to drown himself or something? She's sure he'll turn up sooner or later. Mary's amiable but overly loyal to her house. Edward's... Edward. Not even her classmates can tell with any degree of accuracy which of the seventh-years she's actually attracted to.

hint it's all of them.

But pish to 'serious'. These are the best days of our lives etc. To the grounds! ]

Where'd you get it, anyhow?

Smuggled it out of the Great Hall, where else? Oh, and I bribed a few house elves as well.

[A shameless grin as they set off back down to the entrance hall. He really does get too much of a kick out of bending the rules, even now after being expelled and supposedly turning over a new leaf. As long as it's harmless and no one finds out, what's the worst that could happen?]
