Since we are trying to create a new society, we need a list of bank holidays and I wanted your suggestions.

Already down: Christmas, Boxing Day New Year's, Good Friday, Easter and Easter Monday, Remembrance Day.

Any other suggestions? We're aiming for one a month.

Padma

You have carte blanche in studying the castle magic and the time travel. I've spoken to Regulus to put a rule that any study done through the DoM is legal.

Call it a hunch, but I don't think that the castle did this. I think we might have done this and the magic morphed or we did something to the castle. I don't know.

Ron/Hermione/Draco

I was talking to Jamie while putting clues together and it became obvious that the clues are made for us (or me). My gut says that someone was fucking with fertility and we knew something was coming, so we created some kind of spell that brought us back. Just a hunch but my hunches tend to be right.

What do you think? Am I being too arrogant here?

Things have been unusually quiet. That being said I acknowledge my part in the unprecedented unravelling of the structure we had in place. There is nothing I can do to go back and correct that. That is done and we move forward.

For the sake of clearing the air, we are a collection of 20 plus witches and wizards. All opinions are valid, everyone is connected to the government because we are so very limited in numbers.

Rather than focus on who is Minister, as that has drawn out nothing but silence, perhaps for the sake of necessity we can all discuss what we want, where we want to strive to be and how best to get that done.

Move on and move forward as a collective unit rather than a collection of factions.
Talk to me. Talk to each other. Talk. Argue if you must. The silence is deafening.
Thoughts?

((OOC1: Regulus doesn't know about the new Department so it's Padma, Lucius, Kirley, Savannah, Remus))
((OOC2: Regulus removed Kirley after his exchange and added Parvati))

We seem to have another problem. Granger hasn't shown up and neither has Weasley. I'm guessing they are- gone? Kreacher has checked and they are not in the castle.

Friday night, we'll be Apparating to Diagon Alley and then walking into London and finding a restaurant. I can't tell you what's around the Leaky anymore or what kind of cuisine, but we'll try to find something that can accommodate us all. We'll be working with Scorpius and magazines to transfigure clothes into Muggle clothes.

This isn't mandatory, but please let me know how many are interested so we have an idea.

Jamie

So want to look with me for clues in Diagon Alley? Unless you're busy.

Parvati

You're good to go. Give me the names and we'll have a new Ministry directory.


Padma

So my house and the floo in the Headmaster's office used to be connected. Do you think they still are? Or can you figure out how to do it without an entire system? If so, could your department be able to make more Floo powder? It would give us a great way to get into the middle of London without any Muggle seeing us Apparate.

[Padma Patil]
Good morning Ms Patil. Apologies, I meant to write much sooner. I've been told you are the person to speak to about research into the castle's magic?

[Albus Potter]
I've been thinking about your 'trigger' idea. Do you think it might work on more practical aspects of magic, as well as charms and spells?

Who: Open
When: 10am 2nd of May
Where: In the cloister of the courtyard
What: It's Remembrance Day

( In requiem )

Good Afternoon!

Just a few housekeeping notes as we get this team up and running.

Peter has been kind enough to set up our office on the Ministry floor and I would like us to use that room for meetings and whatever record storage is necessary. However, I will be looking to secure us some dedicates space on the research floor as well, somewhere we can conduct true research and experimentation without risking the rest of the Ministry offices.

At the moment, this department will function as a general research group. As such, we will be conducting both the sort of research one might traditionally have found in the Department of Mysteries as well as more immediately necessary work.

Peter and Theo - You will both be working with me to tackle the question of the castle's magic
Al - I understand you are working to preserve the buildings in Hogsmeade at the moment
Marlene - Your focus will need to be getting the hospital wing in order and looking into ways we can work around any deficiencies we may have in the supplies stored there.
Lily - We will need you to work closely with Marlene to stock up our medical supplies, potion ingredients and cures, etc. Please also coordinate with Professor Snape on the necessary ingredients he will need for classes and the Wolfsbane potion.

Although my own research focus will be the castle's magic, I will also be available to assist with any other project if you need an extra pair of hands or eyes for any reason.

If you have any questions about your assignments, please feel free to come and talk to me about it.

I would like to have weekly status updates on your progress, as well. For now, we can go with majority preference. Written report or weekly meeting. Nothing expansive. What you're working on, what your progress has been, and what your next steps are as well as if you have anything blocking you. Please let me know if you have a preference by the end of this week.

Please also let me know if there are any supplies you need in order to complete your work and I will see about getting it for you.

Who: Padma Patil and Theo Nott
When: Monday, 25 April, 2038 - Late Morning
Where: Department of Mysteries office
What: Padma briefs Theo on department directives.

( It's the unknown that draws people. -- E.A. Bucchianeri )

Does anyone have an old pocket watch? Or wristwatch? Or even a old music box?
Something with that little turner on it? You know, sets the time or winds it up.

If so, can I have it?

Warded to All the Women

So I have no idea when the VanishCup was invented, but for those who don't know, it's a little cup you put in your vagina and it's got spells that vanish your menstrual blood. Now, I don't go anywhere without it, because who wants to be flying while bleeding, so I have mine, but there have to be some from Hogsmeade and those two cataloguing stuff probably have no clue what they are dealing with.

Any way, my point is that A) we can find them for women who need them and B) some of you with all the smarts can create a spell to make both the cup and the spells if you can play with them, since some of the new students are women and will need to deal with that problem.

Also welcome to Marlene. We have one more woman to even up the numbers!

Warded to Jamie

So communication? Good for you. We should celebrate. Do you want to have dinner and the club? Yes, I know it's still just us, but it should still be celebrated that you have something you like.

Warded to Patil and Padma

Hello ladies. I'm in the process of updating our records and I want to confirm that your birthday is 22 December 1979 and you're both 24. Also I need your residence. Finally, you will need a job for the first of May. I know that there are some things in the works, but I just thought that I'd remind you.

Al, Jamie, Lilu, Lily

Just a reminder that you should have a job by May 1st. Al, I know you mentioned teaching, but like the rest you need to do something until school starts.

Lily, can I call you Lily? I'm assuming you're in James' room.

If anyone wants help with this, feel free to reach out.

Jamie

Hey darling, so we all think that you're terribly straight, but you also need to get laid. Since at the moment your options are relatives, me or Savannah, and I need to get laid, I wanted to know if you're interested. Strictly sex, no strings attached.

Let me know, gorgeous.

Who: Peter/Padma
When: mid morning, 12 April
Where: research floor
What: they talk work

( I had an idea )

James

So...I know I said that I wouldn't contact you, but I was an arse when we talked, and I wanted to apologize properly and talk. I'd rather do it in person, but if you're not ready, then I am really sorry.

Also I'm glad Lily is here with you.

Padma

Ms. Patil, I was hoping that we could talk about your job and how it might be used to help now.

Hello Padma. I haven't reached out sooner because I thought you might need a few days to sort your thoughts, but we should talk about what happened. Do you have time today or tomorrow?

Hogwarts Filter

In case it wasn't obvious, we were all switched personality. Yes, it was the castle because Glenda left. The house-elves were prevented to tell us. Winky also confirmed that the castle sent back Cho and Teddy. This answers the question of what happens if we leave.

On the other hand, during this experiment, Parvati had a brilliant realization that the house-elves can evade traveling bans, so we have a way to get food. Peter, you don't need to bother with the greenhouses. Lucius will take over for Cassandra.

Potters

Lunches are going forward as planned in my room

Lily

I'm sorry I wasn't able to greet you properly. I'd like to meet you before lunch if that's okay.

Parvati, Padma, Jamie

We need to speak about your memories.

Lucius

We can do commerce directly with foreign companies through the house-elves. Make the brooms and food a priority. If you need Savannah for the broom, reach out to her.

Professor Dumbledore

I had your memories. Maybe once things calm down, we can talk.
