In Memoriam
Who: Open
What: Memorial 'Service' of sorts
Where: Phoenix statue on Monument Alley
When: Sunday 3rd May, after sundown
Rating: SFW for now

Though the Ministry had announced the place and time of this year's Victis Honor Memorial, they hadn't revealed the exact nature of the event. In past years, people had often gathered at various places across the country - the Hogwarts grounds, Hogsmeade, Dumbledore's tomb and Monument Alley among them - after dark to send up sparks of light into the sky. This year, some clever Ministry official had decided to take advantage of the tradition, and make it even more spectacular.

For the week leading up to Victis Honor day the phoenix statue in Monument Alley had been specially charmed to attract any passing 'lumos' incantations. When darkness fell on the Sunday, each light it had collected would appear somewhere on the stone surface. As more and more lights were added, the idea was that the statue would be covered entirely in light - and at that point, it would flicker like flame for a brief moment and then the statue would be revealed once more, in a slightly different position - as if the phoenix had risen from the ashes.

Hermione and Richard

Hermione hadn't realized that anyone within earshot was actually paying attention to her when she spoke. Turning to see who had spoken she recognized the individual as Richard Summerby though they weren't exactly friends. "Yes, I've seen other displays but this one is quite unique." Normally there was some sort of visible trigger and the effect didn't last too long. "The time release element is simply amazing. It takes a great deal of knowledge to set up such a spell. Not to mention the skill necessary to create the lighting effects."

	Rich chuckled. "Like I said, pretty lights. Haven't a clue how they might have done it. Just know somebody, or bodies, must have put in a lot of work on it." Not that he was weak at charms - he had made it in to Auror training. But these days he mostly concentrated on charms for his racing brooms and magic related to his fighting styles, weapons and armor. (Reply to this) (Parent)
