Changed RPG

( Owl Post delivery for Pansy Parkinson )

They have canceled Hogsmeade weekend for...well, until further notice. I can't see the outside of the gates until the holidays.

Tell me I can make it through this

Who: Zeth Yaxley & Antigone Ivanova
Where: A small cafe
Why: Drinks, Talk
When: Afternoon
Rating: TBD

( Antigone didn't have to hide, yet )

( Owl packages simultaneously delivered to the following members of the Wizengamot's households: Francesca Bozo, Griselda Marchbanks, Tiberius Ogden, Elizabeth Dinnet )

Across the country as things went dark, Bonfire Night fireworks began. As soon as those first bursts began in the sky, the marks of all Death Eaters burned, summoning them to their Lord’s side. The place, this time, a home in London.

There are two bodies, freshly killed, and Bellatrix sits between them on the sofa. Voldemort explains that the woman is a halfblood who dirtied herself by marrying a muggle. The two have a daughter who’s currently disgracing wizardingkind by being taught at Hogwarts. Obviously, this must be stopped. The dead bodies are Kathleen Li and Jun Li, Su’s parents. This is their house. There are pictures of the two with their daughter around, if anyone happens to recognize her.

Voldemort reveals that over the last several days the way has been cleared at the Ministry for the next step in His plan. And that tonight the Ministry, and power over Wizarding Britian, will be His.

( The Plan )

I’m going to start subthreads for each level of the Ministry.

Death Eaters can be masked if they choose to be, or open. DEs, comment if you were masked or not. How well you did your job. Etc. Anyone can feel free to post in with NPC family members and/or just random NPCs for you to terrify/kill/turn/etc. We need a variety of NPCs. From supporters who are glad to give help to the DEs, to people turning out of fear, to people escaping, to muggleborns dying! So jump in with whoever you’d like. While this thread will be IC/OOC, it would be fun to see some subthreads with some of the attack played out! However, it IS Saturday, and a holiday, so they offices would not be all that busy, so bear that in mind. Most groups of DEs will not meet more than ten people or so in any given office.

Order Members - Snape is going to manage to get patronus messages to Order members about this going down, so Order members can feel free to swarm to the Ministry’s aid. Unfortunately, they will not win the day, but you can feel free to jump in to any threads and battle! This patronus message is also the way that Minerva and Albus can find out about the attack and begin to prepare the professors, etc. for the defense of Hogwarts. Nothing will happen at the school tonight, but Albus will be fortifying it and making sure that when they do try something, the new 'Ministry' will not be able to get in.

Ministry members, if you were at the Ministry for some reason tonight, you should jump in on the thread for your specific level. People with NPC family members at the Ministry who you do not want injured, either have them not be at work, or have them get out quick! Or, of course, have them turn to the dark side!

Those who do get out of the Ministry will probably send frantic owls to their loved ones, messages, etc., about the Ministry falling to Death Eaters, unless they’re too worried about the threats to their families to do so? That’s up to you. Remember the “The Ministry’s been taken” fiasco at the Bill/Fleur canon wedding? I imagine that frantic scene happens in a lot of homes tonight. But it will not be reported in the papers, so unless you have first hand knowledge there is going to be a lot of conjecture and hearsay and disbelief. Phoenix Radio will be bringing you real news soon.

Everyone remember to communicate, etc. If someone is jumping into your level with an NPC, be sure to talk to them about what is going to happen to that NPC. Also, if you would please list out a list of the dead in the thread for LIST OF THE DEAD that will make it easier for us to have a good list of them later. The same goes for injuries, they should go on the LIST OF INJURES thread.

Questions should go in the QUESTIONS thread!

RATING: Start off with cautioning for language

Pansy knew she didn't have too long between classes and when she was supposed to meet Draco in the Common Room. She was excited to have Zeth see her in her dress. Zipping herself into her long green dress Pansy took a moment to do one last check in the mirror. Once she was satisfied with the result, Pansy grabbed her cloak and mask before leaving Syltherin.

Stealth was key in leaving the castle. Technically she wasn't breaking any rules as she never intended to actually leave the school grounds but that didn't mean that she wanted to be delayed. She hurried to the edge of the school hoping to meet Zeth.
