Placeholder for Daily Prophet article on Ireland banning unregistered magic.

The Muggle Republic of Ireland has announced a law that no witches, wizards, or other magical creatures are permitted to perform magic within its borders without registering with a board introduced today, the Magic Registry (MR). Located in Dublin, the MR has forms which witches, wizards, &c. are expected to fill out before performing any magic. Obvious concerns include how the MR will be able to detect unregistered magic, the need for magic in day-to-day life making abstinence from it impossible for persons and creatures who cannot make the trip to Dublin immediately, and indeed the ability of many of them to get to Dublin without using magic. Minister Bulstrode has spoken out against the law, saying that he will support Minister Moira Flynn in her resistence to its strictures. There is speculation as to whether or not this signals a turn in the tides for Magic Ireland, and a possible reconciliation between the Irish and United Kingdom Ministries.

WARNINGS: Delilah will swear, otherwise unknown.
STATUS: In progress.

Delilah slipped her shoes and socks off and stood, bare foot, on the grass near the lake. They were at the farthest point from the castle they could possibly get whilst still being able to see it and she watched a few of the students scurry about on the other side of the lake. Beneath her feet the grass was damp and the ground slightly soft from last night's rain. It was glorious. A stray, strong branch that must have fallen off years ago currently lay discarded near her and Delilah padded over, swinging her shoes in one hand and hopped up onto the branch. It was one of those beautiful days, the kind that signalled the end of winter: it was mild, a crisp fresh wind blowing but the sun was beating down and although she could see her breath in front of her in dense, white clouds everytime she breathed out she didn't feel cold.

Balancing on one leg on the log, Delilah spun to face Dominique, grinning widely at her friend. She looked restless and slightly jittery, she knew, her limbs flying everywhere and the smile she offered perhaps a bit too bright. Or perhaps she just felt it--Delilah couldn't quite distinguish between them. "January's my favourite here. Normally. I don't think it'd be right to say January was my favourite month this year--disrespectful and terribly uncouth considering everything," she started. Then a wicked smile slashed across her face, there and gone. "Although, I tried to say as much to Dad the last letter I wrote him and you know what he said, the bastard? That I could be as disrespectful and as uncouth as I bloody well wanted to be if that was how I felt."

Delilah fell silent again, pacing back and forth on the log, the bark digging into the bare skin of her feet. Then, "What do you think of the whole Committee splitting thing? Honestly. I want honesty. It's such a silly thing, but it's playing on my mind."

WHO Ravenclaw!
WHAT Party!
WHERE ...Ravenclaw!
WHEN The evening of January 17, 2022, after Ravenclaw won the game against Slytherin.
STATUS IC/OOC, in progress.

Els was, truth be told, not feeling particularly festive. He had come back just in time for the game against Slytherin, which had been entirely too loud and left him with a headache, even if the victory had been rewarding. The Healers had told him it wasn't a definite thing that the headaches would ever stop. He'd been sent back to school with a note for Madam Twonk detailing his pain prescription and encouraging her to keep an eye on him for signs of worsening condition.

As a genius, he was not impressed. He liked his head. Having it force the desire to curl up into a ball, vomit, and keep his eyes shut for hours on end was not the sort of behaviour he expected from his most valued body part. This was all, of course, not to mention the fact that Dominique was still being daft.

Trying to look cheerful (and ignoring the curious stares of many of his housemates, who had most likely noticed him squeezing his eyes shut during the game, or if not that, perhaps the minute traces of burns on parts of his neck, jaw, and left arm, which while mostly gone were still partly visible -- or, failing that, perhaps the almost imperceptible limp he was still sporting, even though he knew his leg had been healed; maybe that), Els sipped a Butterbeer and surveyed the crowd. Normally he'd been analyzing everyone around him, but tonight, he was just tired.
