blackpoint - the au community

Tonight is the launch event for Charmed, where we'll be unveiling the limited winter collection and to-come spring collection. We're having a winter wonderland themed party at Le Foyer.

Before showing myself off, I wanted to give a gigantic thank you to my husband, children, myself and Padma, my heterosexual lifemate Ginny Weasley, Hermione, the other Harry and even Draco Malfoy. Yes, Draco. Shockingly enough, he's quite good with children and makes a bang up babysitter. And he's single, ladies. (Ladies, yes Draco?)

But in all seriousness, I couldn't have rebuilt myself without Harry's help, support, love and devotion. And here's to trying again.

And now for showing off, this is what I'll be wearing tonight:
( Cut, not filtered )

Did that really just happen? Wha

But my shoes aren't here.

So many Mugg Branching into the Muggle world is more difficult and time-consuming than I expected. Luckily, the name affords me more interest and curiosity than judgement as far as that's concerned, but starting a company? Bloody hell.

Which is to say I'm looking for a few investors, preferably in-house. I had some offers from strangers and people outside the community, but I'd feel more comfortable and want to offer the opportunity here first before resorting to rich "fans" that would be more interested in Harry's autograph than being a shareholder in my business.

I'd like to recreate my fashion line here, and branch out even more. I owned a shoppe in Godric's Hollow, so I'd like to do the same here and perhaps go even further? All of my clothes are self-adjusting, meaning they fit any size, any body type and look amazing while being functional and comfortable. Charmed fabrics that shift and change colour with different lighting. Jewel tones that can indeed look like jewels. Spill wine or have children? Fabric that is self-cleaning and impossible to wrinkle. Never worry about a tear in tights, never fuss over pantylines showing. Lingerie that is sexy and comfortable. Bras you can wear for hours and it'll feel like.. Oliver Wood is holding everything in place.

I've been sketching since I got here and have been building a portfolio, if you're interested and would like to see more. I could also use a few willing models, since Hermione sighs at me when I come near her with my measuring tape. (Really, you put someone in a couture designed gown and you'd think they'd be far more appreciative of your skills.)

Open position, to be filled immediately: Paid intern, does what Granger says, unless I say "don't do what Granger says in this specific case", in which case listen to me and not her. Make coffee and don't bitch about it. I don't care if it's good coffee but it's gotta be passable and if you just reheat that shit I will know it and you're gonna have nightmares the rest of your goddamned life once I'm done chewing you out. Filing the shit that needs to be filed; neither Granger nor I have done much with that so I hope you like piles. of. shit. Answer the phone, answer the door, be nice to our clients, and goddamn shower once in a while, Christ. Be a fucking human being, take some goddamn pride.

And for fuck's sake if I catch you smuggling magic carpets down at the blackmarket off Mayfair don't piddle about with "wow, what a strange coincidence that this illegal deal is going down so close and unrelated to me" because that's how we lost our last intern and I'm gonna be mighty upset if I need to go down memory road.

Anything else?



Oh yeah, what we do - detective agency, hire us when you don't want to deal with the brass's bullshit - just kidding HPD and NYPD, you're great - but we're not gonna front for you or hide your shit. We solve. Questions? Comments? Ask Granger, she actually likes people.

Apply or something by... doing shit, I don't know. Surprise me.

Podmore out.

Well, shit. Who's been hiding portkeys again?

[ ooc; Ginny from the werewolf!Draco/Slytherin!Hermione/Harry's babies have a different mama~ world! ]

I thought it'd be rather difficult to find employment here, given the Wizarding Standards set so far away from the Muggle world, but I'm happy to report that's not the case. With a bit of help from the HPD and my own knowledge of CVs and what my parents have gone through, I've already garnered interest in several different areas. I'm currently leaning towards social work, as it's the closest to what I was doing back at the Ministry.

I doubt it comes with such a large threat to biting, either. And I won't need to know Gobbledegook.

FILTERED TO PEOPLE FROM THE HP WORLD:

I wasn't sure how advanced we were in the potions department, so I hope no one minds that I took it upon myself to start experimenting about.

Sorry Harry, if one of your guest rooms smells a bit.. odd. I've charmed everything up so none of the children will poke their heads where they don't belong. So far my target of interest is Wolfsbane, to prevent the need for the puppet spell on Draco so he stops whinging. About that.

But if all goes well, I should have Wolfsbane brewing within the next batch or two.

Happiest of birthdays, Harry Potter. I couldn't be more proud to call you my sons, and there's enough cake and food at our house to feed three armies of werewolves and Potters.

I demand to speak to whoever is in charge of this madhouse; you don't simply yank people from their daily lives and drop them into an ocean and then say "well, we can't stop it, really". I'm DRACO MALFOY; does that mean nothing to you? This is what happens when Muggles interfere with magic they don't understand. Gross inefficiency and PASSING THE BUCK. Who's going to send me back? More importantly, who's going to pay for my robes?

( The Weasley family grew last night )

Alright, everyone done being mopey? Brunch at my house. Arthur is helping cook, so you may want to bring a side.

Not to be all "what the fuck is going on" in the wake of a perfectly lengthy explanation that I sure as shit didn't pay much mind to, but what the fuck is going on?

Report, assholes. One of you has to be capable of summarizing this bullshit in twenty words or less.

Sturgis Podmore, hitwizard, by the by.

So to get my mind off of the psychotic vampire currently trolling the world, I decided that I might as well read one of the books that my tutor assigned me. It's called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and so far, there are no stones. It's about a boy whose parents were killed by an evil wizard and he goes to a castle and learns about magic and one of his teachers is a monster dick to him. I'm not done yet but I'm enjoying it. Sorry to everyone who lived it and was miserable, but your lives are way more interesting than "Tess of the D'urbervilles", and also I'm not really sorry.

In the book, people get Sorted (with a capital S) into a House (also capital) that lets us know about their personalities. It's very interesting. So I decided to look up to see where people Sorted me, and I found this link that Sorts a lot of the people on the Teen Wolf show, and it's SO WRONG. I can't be a Slytherin! I'm not the bad guy! That's so untrue and terrible and makes me want to strangle whoever wrote that and display their head on the balcony outside as a warning to others. Just because I'm resourceful and I'm going to outlive you all doesn't mean I'm a Slytherin!!

I have already told some of you in private, but Ginny and I will be separating. We love each other very much, but we have decided we are better off as friends.

Bloody buggering hell

One would expect something like a magical portal to be more present in the curriculum at a bloody magical school. Though, I suppose since there's supposedly no way to return, the lessons wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. Still, something like this might've been a bit useful over the last few years.

What year is it?

[ ooc; Hermione from a world where the Battle of Hogwarts was just the beginning of a much longer war that the Death Eaters had a bit of an upperhand in. Muggleborns are being arrested and/or killed on sight, and so she was in the process of navigating a small army of them across the Scottish highlands in search of more fighters. ]

On February 13th, I will be hosting a benefit dinner at Orchids to benefit the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children. Naturally dress will be black tie, and all of the proceeds from the dinner will go towards buying more supplies for the child life specialists and comfort packages for the women. I contacted the center, and I've arranged for those interested in volunteering on Valentines Day to come in and help the children make Valentines for their friends and family. Marshall, how hard do I have to twist your arm for you to bring your guitar that morning?

Calendar invites will be coming soon!

'Lo. My name's Remus Lupin. Could someone point me in the direction of the library in Honolulu? This Maps app is shite not working correctly.

J. Potters & Families

Hello, dears! There seems to have been quite the influx of you lately so I think it's high time we all have a family dinner. I'm thinking the Sunday after next if that works for you all.

And I know that I might not look how you remember, but it's your mother so I'm pulling my mum!card on everyone, and you'll just have to cope with it.

Alright, then.

1- So we meet again, portal.
2- Hello, everyone! Hope you're doing well.
3- Has anyone seen James?
4- This is Aurora. Rory if you're my husband.

I was told my wife was here. Padmé?

Why is everyone hot? That's unfair.
