Now that I'm back from Vaca, I've been working with X to delve into the timeline. As X announced, we are going to restart the game on February 4th...by moving the time the game is set forward by one year. On Sunday, the gamedate will be Feb 4, 1999. The War is over, Harry won and the wizarding world is still rebuilding. Those people who were seventh years will be allowed to get private tutors to study for their NEWTs and the Ministry will be making arrangements with people to take their exams so they don't have to go back to Hogwarts to repeat their seventh year. Hogwarts was so badly damaged that the school has been closed for the 1998-1999 year
To make things easier for all of use, we're going to ask you to comment to THIS post with 2 things:
1. what your character was doing between Feb, 1998 until May 1, 1998. May 1 is the date we've figured as best we can from the book and the Lexicon, that the Battle of Howgarts occurred. 2. what your character has been doing from May 2, 1998 until Feb, 1999
There are a four set 'categories' that we're going to have for characters, based on where you work:
Ministry: self-explanatory. Your character works for the Ministry of Magic, based out of London Diagon Alley: Those who have shops, work in shops and pubs, work for the Daily Prophet or are are otherwise employed in and around Diagon Alley Hogsmeade/Hogwarts: Those who have shops, work in shops and pubs, work for the Daily Prophet or are are otherwise employed in and around Hogsmeade, as well as anyone involved in the Hogwarts rebuilding efforts Other: Those who are independently wealthy, work in other places or other organizations
I will be posting Justin, Hermione and Draco's information, to give everyone an idea of what we're looking for.
Please have your info added to THIS post by Saturday, February 3rd. Also, A journal entry for yoru character wouldn't hurt either ;-)
