Changed RPG

Who: Any students returning on the Express, and their families
What: Things are not well
When: Today
Where: King's Cross Station, Platform 9 3/4
Rating: TBA
Status: Open/Closed

The first thing out of place was the obvious presence of very official looking wizards at the barrier to the Platform. At least it opened as usual for anyone who knew how to pass through - but inside the oddities were more obvious: Ministry officials and hitwizards posted throughout the Platform, checking the names of every student against some sort of list.

Bethanne Reynolds, a muggleborn second year in Hufflepuff, looked confused as the hit wizard asked her name, but she gave it easily. Beside her, a Slytherin boy whose name she didn't remember did the same, and after a moment was allowed onto the Express. The witch who was checking the list clucked her tongue, though, at Bethanne.

"Doesn't look like you're on the list here, dearie. Suppose you're not a witch after all. Off with you."

"But - " Bethanne didn't know what to say. Not then, and not when she was pushed out of line by the woman so that the student behind her could step up.

Soon it was obvious, all of the muggleborn students on the Platform that day were receiving the same treatment.

Open/Closed: Open to Sltherins, IC/OOC

Some of the Slytherin first years looked nervous, even scared, as the large group of Slytherin students tramped downward toward the dungeons and, coincidentally, the Slytherin Dorms. At the word of a prefect, the password slid the portrait blocking their dorm entrance open, and students made their ways inside and began to settle in for the year.

Who: Blaise Zabini,
When: July 27, 1997
Where: Diagon
What: School supply shopping, etc.
Rating: Low
Open/Closed: Open


Leaving the Manor had suddenly become a necessity. His mother had finally begun showing symptoms of morning sickness and had been in a foul mood for most of the day. Number Seven had been fluctuating between hovering and hiding, which meant that what little respect he had for the man was quickly evaporating. After the latest spat, Blaise had decided to leave before he ended up hexing someone. Deciding that shopping for his books would be a welcome respite, Blaise stepped through the fireplace and into Diagon. Brushing himself off, he looked around before heading out into Diagon proper.

Who: OPEN to anyone who would have received one of these invitations - all current Slytherins, and any current pureblood Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs.
What: Party time!
Where: The Spiney Serpent, Knockturn Alley
When: Tonight, beginning at eight o'clock.
Warnings/Rating: TBA
