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!

[ Really? The speed at which students can descend into teenage angst is truly impressive. He holds up the slip, so Connor can see the signature and the small Hogwarts crest that denotes approval. ]

There is no need for self-pity. As your guardian, my permission is good enough for our esteemed Ministry until then.

[ besides, the Headmaster clearly didn't send out the slip on time, i.e. over the summer. ]

[rotiskenhrakete]

...Oh. [Teenage angst crisis over, and Achilles, as usual, succeeds in making Connor feel foolish. He looks down, fidgets, and clears his throat, before looking back up.] Um-- T-thank you.

Was there anything else you needed to discuss with me, Professor?

[colortheportrait]

[ Given that Connor is a teenage boy and therefore obligated to make foolish decisions on a daily basis, Achilles elects not to comment on the fidgeting. Speaking of daily foolishness, however. ]

There is nothing especially pressing, so why don't you tell me of your latest exploits? I hear you are doing especially well in Care of Magical Creatures. [ Or so Prudence's tale of a third year herding porlocks would have the staffroom believe. ]

[rotiskenhrakete]

Yes. [He brightens up at that.] I enjoy it a great deal. A few weeks ago we studied puffskeins... Most of the students did not seem to like them, but I do not see why not.

[They're fluffy, gentle, and they make happy noises when you pet them. What's not to love? The other third years were expecting to jump straight to fire-breathing lizards straight from the get-go, though, so maybe they were a little underwhelmed.]

I'll remember that the next time they get into the parlour. [ The cabinet was full of them and given that there's a Stasis Charm on the thing it all went wrong rather quickly.

But he digresses. ]

And how are you finding Divination?

[rotiskenhrakete]

[His enthusiasm abates quickly, at that.]

...Difficult. [As much as he hates to admit he finds anything difficult.] The traditions of the Mohawk in using visions, and for what purpose, is very different the traditions of divination here... Our way is more spiritual than reliant on trying to interpret objects.

[Which is a polite way of saying that he thinks the whole subject is probably bullshit. Maybe he should write to his grandmother for advice, before his grades inevitably tank...]
