Marauders!: An 80s AU

Who: Aurora and Severus
What: Dinner + Wine
When: Saturday evening, before sunset
Where: Atop the astronomy tower
Warnings: Alcohol, possibly mild language

( And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees )

As the new term is almost upon us, I find myself compelled to remind some of you that although you may think you're entitled to visit Hogwarts at your own personal whim, this is not the case. No one cares if you graduated here. Shocking, I know, but you're no longer a student nor are you a member of the staff, and without written permission from the Headmaster, your presence is nothing more than disruptive and grossly disrespectful to those who dedicate their time to the school.

Letters from parents will be burned That is all.

It is strange to be back here. They say home is never the same once you've left, and I found it true of the house I grew up in. The walls never seem as tall as they used to. The grounds aren't as vast. The echo's not as loud as they were when we ran through the halls. I am beginning to believe that Hogwarts adjusts to fit you as you grow, however. I got lost yesterday, and it took me off guard, even if it does make sense. Times change and so do stairways.

At least there are familiar faces all around. Even the newer professors are people I recognize. One in particular I will have to pay a visit to, maybe tomorrow. Maybe sooner, if he will still respond to me banging on his door in the middle of the night.

Anyhow, the new year is almost upon us and instead of sitting with the students in the hall, I'll be at the high table. I hope I remembered my fancy robes. Surreal is a better word than strange.

Inheriting a classroom is a daunting task. There are so many outdated charts lying around, but several of them are practically antiques. I'll have to come up with a way to display them that won't confuse everyone. Don't want first years relating Ascella to Scorpius because of my poor judgment.

[Warded to Sirius]

This would be a good time to tell you that I'm not dead and I'm coming home. Do tell me that we still have a home. Are you living in said home? Did you destroy it? And where's Kreacher? If you have mistreated him or hurt him, I will hurt you.

Regulus

[Warded to Narcissa and Andromeda]

My dearest cousins,

I know this will come as a surprise, but I - Regulus - am alive. For reasons to complicated to explain here, I decided to disappear after the Dark Lord's demise. However, new and raising Dark wizards have convinced me that it's time to return from the land of the dead.

I hope that this doesn't cause you undue angst and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Lovingly,
Regulus

[Warded to Severus Snape]

I'm alive. You probably knew because of Dumbledore, but I thought I'd make it official. Also, we have new dark wizards rising. Really can't this people find something better to do?

( Many things had changed in ten years. How much fun it was to bother Severus Snape was not one of those things. )

Marauders! is an AU 80s game based upon three major 'fixes' to canon. First, Peter died rather than give up the Potters, and despite Voldemort ripping the secret from his mind that fateful Halloween night had a rather different outcome. James and Lily survived, and Voldemort is presumed dead. Harry's still got his scar, but Dumbledore says not to worry about it. Second, Regulus got the ring to Dumbledore and Dumbledore was able to destroy it without cursing himself. Regulus was presumed dead as well, but not everything is as it seems. Third, the Lestranges were defeated before they could drive the Longbottoms insane, and are currently languishing in Azkaban while the Longbottoms (among others) are alive and mostly well. Current game plots: A dark-wizard cult has been kidnapping and killing people in the name of power. An unlikely source comes forward with information on how to stop them. Oh, and Harry Potter's pirate-themed birthday is a go. Main Comm | OOC Comm | Mod Journal Rules | Holds/Cast | Application | Wanted
