Marauders!: An 80s AU

The wedding party is off. Please don't bring any gifts. The club is still opening on the 22nd. I hope to see you all there.

[Narcissa]

Any and all public posts about your cousin will end, even if I won't be representing your family any longer.

[Andromeda and Regulus]

Thank you for your kind words, but it seems that they were a little premature.

[Leo]

Men suck and not in a good way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for...





Saturday the 23rd, come party your arse off and drink the night away! Special guest artist Edgar Bones! Grab a portkey at the portable store front in Diagon Alley or apparate to 2576 Haversham rd in Brixton.

Friends and Family
Clorinda and I will be celebrating our marriage in tandem with the club opening. VIP section will br reserved for our use and the alcohol and food is on me! We hope to see you all there. And yes, if you can see this then I do in fact mean you!

Apparently I'm out of a job for being too friendly with people the Head Auror doesn't like. I never knew a secretary needed to submit her friends for approval.

Anyway if anyone has a job that requires an amazing woman with a great smile, let me know.

[Warded to Dumbledore]

Longbottom objected to me going undercover with Karkaroff so I quit. If you need anything, let me know. I find that I have a lot more free time on my hand now. Also if Flitwick ever quits, you know where to find me.

[Warded to Moody]

The boss is too afraid that her career will suffer if something goes wrong so she won't allow me to do undercover work.

[Warded to Edgar]

I quit, because she's a career worried useless woman who doesn't even know how things work.

Potions potions potions potions potions potions and more potions.

I got a new job as a clerk at a potions shop. Yay!

What would happen if I take a Alihotsy Draught and a Calming Draught in rapid succession, would I first get hysterical and then calm down? Or would the two cancel one another out? What if I mixed the two?

Here's an idea! Pepperup in different flavors! Like, maybe mint and strawberry? Or bubblegum!

[Private to Mary MacDonald]

Rita Skeeter at it again, huh? Writing lies just to sell papers.

It's good to be back in England.

But not really.

I am bored. What do wizards do around here for entertainment, nowadays?

Oh no, my secret sorkret has been revealed! You've got me world. I'm a blood thirsty werewolf and all my decades of shennanigans are just to cover it up! HOW SHALL I EVER GO ON!

Okay, but seriously. If you believe a word that leaves Rita Skeeters poison quill you're an idiot and you deserve to be brainwashed by ber tripe. And for the record, if I was a werewolf I still wouldn't care. There is no shame in being a werewolf, they're just people like all the rest of us. Yeah, some of them are assholes, but Wizards aren't all sunshine and lolipops either. Voldemort anyone?

So, in conclusion, Rita Skeeter you can go fuck yourself.

*Added later*
By the way, great photo of me Skeets! I'm going to start selling signed copies of it, all proceeds go to Werewolf Rights. If anyone wants a pic let me know!

Clorinda
You okay?

Mary
She's such a bitch, eh?

Remus
I won't let this get back to you, I swear on my life.

As you can see, finding your name was not that difficult. It only required deductive reasoning.

I've modified the spell. Ready for the first round of testing?

General service announcement: I'd avoid Honeydukes for the foreseeable future. People are getting married after eating toffees! Then again, it could be another remarkable advertising campaign from Pink Floyd.

So I got married!

It happened Saturday, or Sunday, depending on time zones. It was still Saturday here, but Sunday in Egypt where I got married.

Oh I forgot to mention I married Sirius Black. We met on Saturday, definitely on Saturday regardless of time zone.

It's exciting and adventurous and I never thought I'd get married, but this was the best way to do it: spontaneous, in a tomb and with great sex!

[OOC Added later] Threesomes are perfectly good valid gifts subject to our veto.

Ought to get one of those cards from St. Mungo's that gets stamped for every god damn time I'm admitted. Fill up the card, and get a free cup of coffee.

Very good news: I've got a new lead for a new artefact. I won't tell you what, because it's a surprise (and I don't want anyone else to get his/her hand on it)

Very bad news: Apparently there is a civil war in Sudan. Muggles have been killing each other and foreigners. I think my whiteness sort of lets them know I'm a foreigner. It's the reason why no one else is willing to go.

Good news: There's a war and I won't have competition

Bad news: I'll be gone from the 29th of September until the 9th of October. Don't break Britain while I'm gone.

Centaurs may be the most cryptic of species, but damn do they know how to party.

Who: Anyone who wants to show up (Please add tags)
What: Clorinda is having a party with lots of alcohol
Where: her house, Godric's Hollow

( Let's party )

There are times that I miss living in the city. It had its own benefits. Lots of noise, lots of distraction, lots of people. It was easy to get overwhelmed, and easy to be overlooked, and just easy. Everything within reach, any achievement a possibility. I often thought about how simply lonely it was, to be in such a confined space with so many other people. The country is vastly different. There is so much - almost too much - space. It's easier to notice and to be noticed, but there's also more room for my mind to wander. I don't think I ever thought this much in the city, there wasn't enough room. Ideas couldn't unfold and flex themselves. They can, here.

If I stand still enough outside, at night, it's like I can be lonely again. Nothing notices, nothing makes assumptions. I can stand on the porch and watch the yard come to life. There are so many sounds. Rustling grass, insect wings, bats chittering with each other. Occasionally there are rabbits. Occasionally there are people, walking without seeing. When did we forget how to look? How is it some of us manage to remember?

This would be a great space for a party.

I will be hosting a small event to test several new desserts. While it is not ticketed, please let me know if you plan to attend. You can see an example of one of the finished products below.


An éclair filled with a soft and smooth mousse, which still contains raspberry seeds for texture. It is topped with sliced raspberries to add a touch of summer to this éclair. We add a touch of rose water in the glazing to bring a sweet freshness that perfectly complements the fruits.

Emmeline
I am finally free of Miss Ingrid. Mother and father have conceded that her services are no longer required now that I am back in England.

Narcissa
I do hope the package* arrived in one piece. The Channel crossing can be tempestuous at the best of times. I hear your event was a resounding success, darling, as I predicted. We must meet for tea now I am settled.

OOC Note: The package was filled with a range of delicate pastries.
