    HOGWARTS, 1976

    Het tweede semester van hun vijfde schooljaar start voor de Marauders, maar niet zonder moeilijkheden. Terwijl de leerlingen van Hogwarts School of Magic hun eigen problemen, verlangens en connecties trachten te navigeren, wordt de dreiging van Voldemort's Death Eaters steeds reëler. De terreuraanvallen die plaatsvonden tijdens de Kerstvakantie wegen zwaar door op iedereen en de spanningen zijn voelbaar. De imminente oorlog sluipt steeds dichterbij, maar wat betekent dit voor de leerlingen? Is er nog plaats voor grappen in deze grimmige tijd? Bestaat er nog romantiek als iedereen kanten moet kiezen?



    REGELS
    ✦ De taal waarin je schrijft kies je zelf - bespreek dit wel eerst met je tegenspeler - maar voor het gemak gebruiken we best allen de Engelse woorden zoals Death Eater, Hogwarts en namen van lessen (:
    ✦ En dan alle huisregels en zovoort, y'all know the drill: wees vriendelijk, gebruik triggerwarnings, bespreek dingen op voorhand, sluit niemand uit, yadiyadiya.
    ✦ Als je even niet beschikbaar bent, laat het even weten in het praattopic, dan is dat duidelijk voor iedereen. Laat je na een week niks van je horen, dan mag je tegenspeler zijn/haar/hun personage vrij schrijven. Laat je na 14 dagen niks weten, dan wordt je personage een NPC maar kan je altijd terug inspringen. Na anderhalve maand vermoordt Voldemort je personage (mopje, maar laat gewoon iets weten, oké?)
    ✦ Het is geen canon RPG, maar houdt wel rekening met specifieke gebeurtenissen die in de canon gebeuren. Onderaan heb ik een timeline toegevoegd met wat relevante gebeurtenissen.
    ✦ Er is géén minimum vereiste voor posts, maar geef je tegenspeler genoeg om op te reageren. That's the point of RPG'ing, my gals (and guys and gays).

    kindness is never a burden.


    Barty Crouch Jr.

    15 • Gryffindor • Year 4 • @ Snape's hideout • w. Snape
    Before Barty realized it, Evan had already left. Although Barty agreed that Pandora could do better than Xenophilius Lovegood, he wasn’t sure if Evan would tolerate the same kind of meddling from his sister if the situation were reversed. But maybe this was something Barty didn’t understand. He had no brothers or sisters. The closest thing to a sibling bond he had was with his house-elf Winky, whom he adored, but who also washed his socks... and he doubted a sibling would ever do that for you.

    Regulus pulled him up by his sleeve.
          “Rosier!” he shouted after their friend.
    Barty’s head felt like it was splitting open. Why did Regulus have to choose now to raise his voice, when normally he could be so pleasantly quiet?
          “I’ll catch up with you in a bit,” Barty protested, freeing himself from Regulus grip. “I need to take care of something. Keep him out of Azkaban, Black.” With that, Barty turned back toward the dungeons. It didn’t really matter what time of day it was, he could usually find Snape in the exact same spot, surrounded by his potions and fumes.

    Barty ignored everyone he passed, letting his hand trail along the cold stone wall as he walked through the corridors. At last he arrived at the door where he often found Snape behind. How many people even knew about Snape’s little hideout? Maybe that ginger Gryffindor he was often seen with. What they had in common, Barty had no idea, and he didn’t care either. He knocked on the door.
          “Snape, open up, I don’t have much time and my head’s about to burst.”

    Xenophilius Lovegood

    Ravenclaw • 15 • Fifth Year • Hogwarts Grounds • With Pandora


          With arms still intertwined, Xeno and Pandora walked the Hogwarts grounds together. The age of Pip remained a mystery, since Pandora didn’t know. She also didn’t know where else Pip was supposed to live if not in the Forbidden Forest, which struck Xeno as a bit odd. Was this guy so strange that he wasn’t allowed to sleep in the castle?
    He suddenly felt a bit anxious. What if, at some point, he was also forbidden from staying in the castle? In the summer it would be fine, he guessed, but in the winter… Suddenly, Xeno felt a bit bad for this mysterious Pip, freezing in the cold and living in the forest. But it was about to get even worse…
          “Noodles is already pushing it. Also, Noodles might eat Pip…”
          Xeno eyed the snake rather suspiciously. Was he in danger too?
          “He isn’t so good at the whole ‘friends, not food’ thing yet. It’s going well with the students, but he has eaten a cat or five… some owls too. Just no toads. He’s picky, that one. I think it’s Regulus’ influence, but Regulus says that’s ridiculous.”

    When they entered the forest and found a patch of well-tended but snow-covered moss, Pandora asked,
    “Can you redo a heating spell? Last time I tried, I nearly set the forest on fire.”
          She said this while pulling a small bag from her pocket and shaking it, creating a clinking sound.
          “Oh, that’s a nice tune,” Xeno said, bemused, as he grabbed his wand and conjured a heating charm. The snow melted instantly, leaving the moss a fresh green color with a rich, earthy smell.

    It didn’t take long before a small niffler appeared from the forest, sniffing the air. Panda sounded delighted and knelt down.
          “Come, kneel!” She dragged Xeno down and he didn’t protest. The little niffler was instantly drawn to all the rings on Xeno’s fingers, and a wide smile spread across Xeno’s face.

    With its tiny paws, the niffler tried to nick the rings from his fingers. It was more ticklish than you would expect.
          “Oh, I’m so sorry! I should’ve warned you not to wear any jewelry,” Pandora began to apologize. “You have to give him one of your rings. There’s no choice now. I’ll get you another one, I promise.”

    Xeno’s smile only grew wider as he offered the niffler a big silver ring set with amethyst stones. The creature eagerly took it, stuffed it in his pouch, and made a happy squeaky sound. Then he scampered off to a nearby tree, only to return with a stick in his paws.
          “I taught him that he can’t just take shiny things from people without giving something back in return,” Panda said, staring at the stick. “We’re still working on the quality of the return gifts. But it looks really good for roasting marshmallows, don’t you think?” she added excitedly.

    “It’s a good stick,” Xeno said. He took it from the niffler and tucked it behind his ear.
          The niffler was clearly happy about the exchange and returned to his tree. Xeno stood up again.

    “Shall we go to the petting zoo?” he asked, pulling Pandora back to her feet.
    It was rather desolate in this part of the school grounds, with only the two of them in sight, but it didn’t feel lonely at all.
          “I want to write a piece about magical creatures for the next school paper. Maybe I can include something about the petting zoo too, come to think of it. Would you mind if I interviewed you for it as well?”

    Severus Snape

    Ω Slytherin Ω 15 Ω Halfblood Ω Secret workshop Ω With Barty






    The sound of knocking and the shouting of one Barty Crouch Junior woke Severus Snape. The young Slytherin pulled himself up and groaned softly.
    “Yeah, yeah I heard you.” He said and opened the door. He ignored Barty coming in and went straight to his supply.
    “The usual I presume?” He asked directly, skipping small talk.

    "I whisper 'what the fuck' to myself at least 50 times a day."



    REMUS

    𝓁𝓊𝓅𝒾𝓃

    gryffindor • 15 • halfblood • werewolf • fifth year • prefect • with the marauders • hogsmeade

    The cold was seeping into his bones. Aching. In winter, with ice and snow, the full moons were always worse. It was still a week away, but Remus already felt it in his limbs. He barely paid any attention to whatever James and Sirius were rambling on about, his full focus on just walking normally and not like some cripled idiot. On days like this, he preferred to be with the girls, though he'd never admit that outloud. They always hooked their arms through his, making it easier to walk. If Sirius or James or Peter were to do that, it would just be… gay.
          Remus sighed and sipped his hot cocoa, enchanted so it wouldn't get cold. Turned out, he should've paid attention to where they were heading towards. Because of course, James had led them to the Broomstick obstacle course. Never mind that Remus hated flying and that Peter was just simply terrible at it. It was like that, James and Sirius and Sirius and James. More often that then James and Sirius and Remus and Peter. But he could not blame them, he never did, or would. He too would pick them over himself.
          “This is the worst idea you've had since yesterday,” he groaned. Standing still, the cold was even worse. “If the two of you are so intent on getting yourself killed…” Remus pointedly looked at the man who was coloured black and blue from the Bludgers, “I'm going to Scrivenshaft's. I need some new quills.” James needed new ones too, but Remus did not feel like reminding him. And there was also a book he had been wanting to get at Tomes and Scrolls.
          A couple walked by, giggling from the idiotic game. Not watching where they were going and knocking the hot beverage over his hands. Remus cursed. Was this becoming a new sport? Throwing hot chocolate over him? He firmly pressed his lips together, jaw ticking.



    baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone



    PANDORA

    ᏒᎧᏕᎥᏋᏒ

    slytherin • 15 • pureblood • fourth year • chaser • with xeno • petting zoo

    Xeno was not angry at all that Pip had taken one of his rings. Rather, he seemed absolutely delighted, as if someone had just told him that Santa Claus was real. “I'll get your ring back for you if want,” she promised. “Or I can get you a new one.” At least he had gotten a good stick in return. Not all were so lucky. Pip had once given Regulus a dead leave. He had stared at the gift in tight-lipped silence before muttering something about ‘Pip needing better manners.’ Pandora had laughed so hard she’d nearly peed her pants.
          ”Shall we go to the petting zoo?” Xeno asked, after Panda had left Pip some food (which he was rather particular about, he only wanted to eat nuts roasted by the house elves at Hogwarts). “I want to write a piece about magical creatures for the next school paper. Maybe I can include something about the petting zoo too, come to think of it. Would you mind if I interviewed you for it as well?”
          Pandora clapped her hands excitedly, her bracelets jingling. “Oh, that is lovely. You should make a profile for a different magical creature each paper and then write to which professor it is most similar.” She hooked her arm through Xeno's and started down the path. “And yes, you should include the zoo. It is a bit sad it is so far from the school. They deserve all the pets. You can interview me as well yes.” Regulus once told her that she should not talk to the press, but he wasn't there and wouldn't know. Unless he'd read the schoolpaper, which—come to think of it—he probably did. Even if it was written by his archnemesis James Potter. Still, she reasoned, it was for a good cause.

    They reached the gates of the little petting zoo—a ramshackle cluster of enchanted pens, each glowing faintly with protective charms. A small sign swung overhead, painted in cheerful colors: ’Hogsmeade’s Haven for Harmless Beasts’.
          ”Where do you want to start?” Pandora asked, tilting her head as a faint hum of magical energy drifted from inside.


    baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone




    EVANS

    ƖıƖყ

    gryffindor • 15 • muggleborn • fifth year • prefect • with mary and marlene • outside honeydukes

    Were they slightly mad for eating icecream outside in the snow? Probably. You are so weird, Petunia's voice echoed in her head. Lily pursed her lips together and took an extra large bite of icecream, ignoring the brainfreeze that hit her like a Stunning Spell. Their noses had long been turned pink by the cold.
          “Shall we stop by the Divination Tent? Just…” Marlene squeezed her eyes shut, a victim of the icecream as well, “... thought it could be funny, you know.”
          Lily just hummed. She wasn't that much of a fan of Divination anymore. The last time they’d gone, the woman inside had stared deep into Lily’s teacup, gone pale, and whispered something about a young tragic death. Which, frankly, hadn’t done wonders for her mood for the rest of that week. She had even snapped at Remus.
          Marlene kept behaving… odd.
          ”Marls, out with it,” Lily sighed, narrowing her eyes. “you are acting as if professor McGonagall just caught you cheating on a test.”
          “I—uh. So. I have plans later,” Marlene finally blurted out. “With Dorcas. I… I’m going on a date. With Dorcas.”
          Lily froze mid-bite. Then a grin broke across her face so wide it almost split it in two. “I knew it!” she squealed, nearly dropping her cone. “No one spends that much time talking or thinking about someone without secretly liking them.” She jabbed her spoon at Marlene’s side. “So what are you going to do? Did you plan it? Or did she?” She glanced at Mary. They were definitely going to spy on them. And then ask for all the details tonight, perfectly innocent, as if they haven't been spying. She burst out in a fit of giggles and tilted her head back, letting snowflakes melt on her lashes. The world felt calm, for just a little bit.



    baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone


    MARY MARGARET MCDONALD
    Year 5 ♡ Hogsmeade ♡ W/ Marlene & Lily

    Mary was cold. Her toes were cold, as was her nose, as were the tips of her fingers. She was bundled up in layers upon layers of soft fuzzy wool and those little heating packets normal people - muggles - put in their shoes when snow-vacationing. She had absolutely no idea why she agreed to an ice cream brunch, yet here she was, holding the little enchanted pot - because she didn't like the cones, she always asked for a mug - like her own personal heater. She opted for the fizzy blueberry ice cream, she liked how it always left her tongue a soft lavender color.
          They were chatting about their plans for the day - Marlene wanted to visit the Divination tent, but Lily's lack of enthusiasm made Mary suggest the Petting Zoo instead. She continued yapping on about how adorable all the little creatures would be and whether they'd be wearing little earmuffs and puff coats, when Lily interrupted her.
          ''Marls, out with it, you are acting as if professor McGonagall just caught you cheating on a test.'' Lily sighed. They were walking side by side, Marlene and one side, Lily in the middle, Mary on the other. Mary leaned forward so she could watch Marlene's face turn a bright red color.
          ''I—uh. So. I have plans later,'' Marlene finally blurted out. ''With Dorcas. I… I’m going on a date. With Dorcas.''
          Mary's eyes went big and a loud squeal escaped her lips as Lily yelled: ''I knew it!'' She interrogated Marlene on all the date details. Lily and Mary had on occasion shared eye contact when Marlene had gone on on one of her suspicious Dorcas-tangents. Mary'd never thought Marlene would actually have the balls to do it. But maybe she didn't, and Dorcas did instead? She had seen Dorcas with girls on dates before, so that had never been in question.
          Mary dropped the half-empty mug of ice-cream in a trashcan, and switched sides so Marlene was now walking in the middle. She wrapped her arms around Marlene's as she listened intently to the other girls responses, occasionally glancing at Lily to gage her reaction. Somehow, she wasn't as cold anymore.

    evan rosier.
    year 4 ★ on the way to hogsmeade ★ regulus

    Evan heard Regulus' voice trailing behind him as he stormed out of the Hogwarts castle, following the stream of students heading towards Hogsmeade, and almost knocking back a few first- and second years in the process.
          ''What exactly is your brilliant plan here? Apart from potentially murdering Lovegood?'' Regulus' voice said, almost bored. ''I'll have you know you can't watch over her from Azkaban.”
          Evan scoffed. ''I won't murder him.'' Yet. ''I'm not that stupid.'' He took another bite of the piece of toast he was still holding, chewing it with an open mouth. He knew Regulus hated that. ''I just want to have a little chat with the fella, that's all.''
    [tan]Evans fast pace got to a brisk halt when he nearly bumped into a tall, dark figure.
          ''Rosier, you owe me for those party favors.''
          Evan had to take a step back to be on eye level with Dorcas Meadowes. There was a faint smile on her dark painted lips, yet the smile didn't reach her eyes. She was known for her resting bitch facing, but Evan wasn't intimidated by the Slytherin prefect. They had an understanding.
          ''Yeah, yeah,'' he muttered, looking over her shoulder to try and catch a glimpse of Pandora in the crowd. He couldn't discern her dark hair from the other heads anymore and fell back on his heels, annoyed and deflated. Without the rush of adrenaline in his veins, the headache came back pounding. He put a hand in the inner pocket of his cloak, pulling out a small bag of coins and handed it to Dorcas like they were just shaking hands. Just as nimbly, she put it away in a space between her scarf and chest. He averted his eyes.
          She smiled again. ''Great doing business," she winked, turned on her heel and darted off the stairs. He saw her greet some other fifth year Slytherin students and head off to Hogsmeade too. It was strange not seeing her without her sidekick Lovegood. Which brought him back to his initial mission, and the realization Pandora was on a date with him.
          Evan cussed under his breath and turned around to face Regulus and he'd assumed Barty too - yet only an unfazed, stoic-looking Regulus was in front of him.
          ''Where the fuck is Barty,'' he sighed exasperated, as if the entire day had already been enough for him and it wasn't even midday. He had the deck Barty gave him yesterday strapped to his back. It felt silly now, without Barty there. He felt embarrassed but couldn't really say why. ''You know what, nevermind. Let's go find Panda.'' He turned back around and sauntered off towards Hogsmeade, in a more casual pace than before.
          ''Where did you even disappear to yesterday,'' Evan said after a while, and as he was saying it, a memory flashed across his mind. Regulus' voice saying: ''On one condition: I do not want any involved from Sirius in any kind of way or him to have any knowledge about this. And you will take that right now, before I call Pandora over and let her kick you out.'' And James Potter's reply: ''To you needing Pandora to kick me out of the common room.''
          Evan halted, and looked at Regulus, a little suspicious. But how could he ask Regulus about it without shutting the other boy down. Evan wasn't good at confrontation, that was more Barty's thing.
          ''We looked for you, when we came back to the common room. You weren't there,'' he said slowly. And than casually added: ''We were going to hex James Potter but he wasn't there anymore either. Only your brother and his little pet.'' Evan studied Regulus' face for any reaction whatsoever.

    Dorcas Meadowes
    Slytherin ✯ 15 ✯ Year 5 ✯ Prefect & Chaser ✯ Hogsmeade / with Remus (& Daisy & Greta)

    Dorcas was pleased with herself today. Feeling chipper about her date with Marlene later, and the small bag of coins she'd just received from Evan for services provided, she felt like today could be a very good day indeed. She didn't even really mind the fact that Xeno had ditched her earlier in the day to go on a date of his own. He hadn't told her with who it was exactly, but when Dorcas watched Xeno pass by on the Hogsmeade main street a few minutes ago, arm in arm with Pandora Lovegood, it wasn't that hard to connect the dots.
          Dorcas' companions today were Greta Catchlove and Daisy Hookum, at least until Marlene came to pick her up for their date. Dorcas and Daisy, a chatty fifth year Hufflepluff, were leafing through books on growing Mandrakes outside of Tomes and Scrolls when someone softly bumped into them.
          Dorcas let out a startled 'oh' and turned around to face a slender brown-haired boy. He was almost drowning in the large sweater and scarf he was sporting, but Dorcas could still recognize him as Remus Lupin, the male Gryffindor prefect. She didn't really know him that well, as they'd only had a few prefect rounds together since the beginning of the year, but she knew he was friendly with Marlene.
          ''That's not ideal,'' she said with a soft smile, and motioned to Remus' hands. There were smudged with something smoking and brown, and by the smell of it, Dorcas could ascertain it was hot chocolate. She pulled out her wand from the inside of her overcoat and magic-ed the stains away. ''I doubt Hengist would be very fond of selling chocolate covered books.''
          ''Hi Remus.'' Daisy peeked over Dorcas shoulder to give Remus a little wave. The pinkish blush on Daisy's cheeks did not go unnoticed by Dorcas, who stifled a smile. ''I think chocolate covered books would be an excellent business idea,'' Daisy said and continued leafing through the book, but by the ways she was doing it, Dorcas could tell she wasn't actually reading anything but rather listening to whatever Dorcas and Remus were talking about.
          ''Are you alright?'' Dorcas asked in a low tone. Remus didn't look too well. She hoped she hadn't overstepped by using Scourgify on him.
