WARDED TO THIS YEAR'S DA

i'm here

( Wave your wands! )

Look at these cute puppies!!!


[ WAYNE HOPKINS ]

Where ARE you?? You'd better be ALIVE okay!!!!!!!

[ R7 ]

I love all of you. ♥

[ RHYS CADWALLADER ]

My mum is home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So apparently, you can have your lung reinflated magically, which is fun, but also apparently, if the healer doing it is rushed because, say, a big fuck-off battle just happened and they have a lot of patients, your lung can recollapse, in which case you have to have it fixed the Muggle way, a.k.a., a whole bunch of tubes in your chest.

I feel like a Borg. Resistance is futile & so on.

[Ernie]

Thanks for taking Sara-Jane and me in, or me later when I don't need to have tubes in me.

[Anthony's handwriting is looking a bit shaky today.]

they'll give you waffles if you ask nicely.

[G6 + LIZZIE]

Sound off.

[SHAWNA]

Hey - thank you again for looking after Ethan and Delia. How are you and Aisling holding up?

Do I look like a rabbit?

[H6]

I don't want to look at that list anymore so just write in when you can.

[VICTORIA, MEREDITH, ISAAC, SAM]

I can't believe we just had a battle at Hogwarts. I know everything has been pretty terrible this year but to all come down to a battle at Hogwarts? Fucking insane.

( Wards to some DA + Gryffindors, cut for spoilers )

HARRY

Hey.

HERMIONE

I missed you.

RON

Alright, Ron?

Thank you, everyone. I cannot imagine what this school year must have been like for you, but all of you have been so strong, you've kept faith, and you've managed to endure. I am only sorry that we were unable to help you sooner.

We owe our lives to everyone who stayed and fought, to all of those who sacrificed their lives so that we could end the war. They will not be forgotten.

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

That goes double for you, of course. We could not have done it without you.

So I've just arrived at St. Mungo's, and I don't know about anyone else, but I have no idea what's happened to most of my friends. I heard Kingsley is Minister of Magic, and I'm going to assume that's good news because I'm pretty sure that I saw him fighting Death Eaters, but really, I have no idea. I'm starting a list, if you know of someone's status let me know and I'll update.

Please don't share information unless you're confident - I'd like for this to be as factual as possible. And obviously don't read this list unless you're ready to know, because Merlin knows I wish I didn't.

( SPOILERS, obv )

OOC Note: He stopped updating/responding after this comment because FUCK THIS LIST.

"He was last seen escaping through the roof of the building, with a dragon."

Oh, just that? Well, jeez!

[Ritchie]

Hey.

It's nice to see the weather warming up a bit, good weather for flying if we still had that sort of thing.

Anyone else catch the season finale of The Founders on the wireless last night? Merlin, talk about a cliff-hanger.

WARDED TO HEP

I was thinking, I know some of the younger years are probably getting a little anxious with students disappearing and all. What about doing something nice for them? I know we put on that carnival before, maybe we can do something like a free day for them?

It's really fucking weird without loads of people. It was weird when it was just a few like Colin and Madison and then Luna never came back and Ginny never came back and now everyone's just gone Has anyone heard anything about the missing people There's months left of term and how the heck are we going to leave Fucking Carrows and fucking cruciatus curse hurts like a bitch I'm sick of being scared Remember when the worst things in our lives were just one prisoner on the run who broke into Hogwarts but he was just one person

Whoops, that'll teach me for knocking ink all over my open journal.

Anyone around and any good at chess? Or cards. I don't think I believe in homework today.

You know, it's really becoming quite pleasant with so many people disappearing.

WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD, ANDREW LUKAS KIRKE

Seems like a good night for a card reading.

( Charmed to Wayne and Megan )

( Charmed to Oliver )

missing: one tutor. defining characteristics: very tall, brown hair. answers to 'anthony golstein' or 'hey you, treetop.' last seen wearing ravenclaw robes.

[R6 - HEP + MEREDITH]

would it be too forward if i asked you two (daisy and sam) to move in with us or should i wait until next year? assuming that's all right with the rest of you (isaac, sterling, felix)?

also hey meredith. it felt weird not having you on the ward.

[R7]

unsurprisingly, they're having us use the cruciatus on each other. so just fyi for tomorrow.

filter: DA

So whose left still out here now?

[Ashton]

Anthony's safe.

[Stephen]

Hey.

[ DA ]

This is getting ridiculous. How to we protect ourselves so we don't end up having to run, and how do we protect the students who don't have the room to escape to? We can hardly fit the entire school in there, we need to figure out a better long-term solution.

[ Tracey ]

I know you were aware this was a possibility, but just to put any concerns to rest, Anthony's safe.

[ Megan and Lisa ]

Thank you again for your help yesterday. If it isn't too much to ask, I'd appreciate if you didn't share what happened with anyone else.

I'm almost used to the broth and bread at this point. Not quite, but almost.

Wonder if Ilvermorny is accepting new students for next year.

[ SOPHIE ROPER ]

Hey there, pretty girl. I have to talk to you about something important.

[ R6 that were at Daisy's birthday morning ]

I don't think I got the chance to properly thank you yesterday morning, but thank you all. All things considered, it was a good birthday. And I'm not even trying to get all the glitter out of my hair, because I think we all need a little glitter these days.

Also, anyone who needs me to come over and perform magic for them this summer, just let me know. Yay finally being 17!!!

[ shawna ]

[...] Thanks for your help with Dark Arts, I managed to do enough to avoid a stinging hex today.

Is Celia the first sixth year to go missing? At least, I'm assuming she is since she wasn't in class today.

[H6]

So. Should we be surprised that Celia is gone the day after her sister disappeared?

[SAM, ISAAC, MEREDITH, VICTORIA]

None of you are just going to up and disappear, are you?

Oh and Celia's gone now, if you haven't noticed.

[SHAWNA]

So how mu- Hey do the Car- About East-

[...]

Can I ask you something?

I miss Hagrid as a teacher much more than I ever thought I would. I even miss the textbooks that tried to take bites out of us. Anyone remember those? They were oddly charming once you stroked them.

WARD: MEGAN JONES

Please pardon my curiosity, darling, but are you okay? I saw your hand-- do you need anything?

WARD: MANDY BROCKLEHURST

I saw your argument with Ernie, lovely. Are you okay?

[S6G]

Really we should all disappear I can't leave my dad but I think you shoul Sticking around here is bad for your he Anyway, anyone planning on up and disappearing?

Does anyone have any idea why Muggle Studies is still happening, because Professor Carrow seems not to.

UGH PEEVES IS THE WORST AND I HATE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!

Okay seriously now my ENTIRE DORM has disappeared, what the hell is going on??!

[DA]

Vincent Crabbe Is anyone else getting worried the Carrows haven't said or done anything by now? All the pent up anger can't be good.

[RITCHIE]

I don't know if anyone has said anything to you, but Parvati is somewhere safe. I promise.

[TRACEY]

Where does bad light end up?

[WARDED TO STERLING, ASHTON, ISAAC, DAISY, & MEREDITH]
None of you disappear on me, please?
[END WARD]

More disappearances & (probable) links to Dumbledore's Army.

[ WAYNE HOPKINS ]

Hi, Wayne! Have you thought about our last conversation, still? I also have another question, but it's not quite related to what we were talking about. I mean, it is, sort of, but not really at the same time. So... yes. Hello!

Good morning Hogwarts ♥

I don't have any fun games today but dear Celia's post got me thinking perhaps we should share quotes that we love. I'll get started;
There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.

It's the kind of life advice that I love.

Your turns!

WARD: STERLING

Hello, how are you? You know our Dads work together, right?

I think my least favourite part of Sundays is that we have to go to Dark Arts again. Over/under on whether not we'll actually be doing the killing curse?

[ DA ]

Looks like both Seamus and I got attacked in the hallway for no good reason, anyone else? So, not that we're not already, but we need to be careful.

Also, did we still want to do a Howler or something to let people know that Neville and everyone are okay? I'm not sure if the fact that more people are disappearing is making those who don't know more nervous, or less.

[ Megan ]

You ever figure something out to counter the effects of the Cruciatus?

[ Tracey Davis ]

I may have mentioned your name to Viola Belby as someone who she would be safe around in the common room, so if you've developed a shadow, apologies. I kind of assumed you were safe since you're dating Anthony.

[ Wayne and Parvati ]

Parvati, I give very bad girl advice, so Wayne needs a love reading.

As I've done every year, here is my annual sharing of one of my favorite monologues from Shakespeare, since I am fortunate enough to share my birthday with the greatest playwright of all time! It's a great one this year! Also it's really fitting right now...

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
- A Midsummer Night's Dream

Happiest of birthdays to Celia Brown. Everyone be nice to her today.

WARD: JACK SLOPER

Hey.

WARD: CELIA BROWN

Happy birthday old lady. Present exchange? Usual place?

If there is a way out of the castle and people keep escaping, you know it's very rude to not share that information? Although I suppose it would be stupid to not expect selfishness from Dumbledore's Saintly Army.

I'm particularly bored this weekend, who's doing something fun?

[ HEP ]

Millicent and I were talking today about how sometimes you just tend to fall into a rut with who you're catching and who you're disciplining - Weasley, Longbottom, Finnigan - I'm sure we all have our favorites. And obviously, that's not fair - we should be treating everyone the same. So we thought we'd come up with a scavenger hunt of sorts, to help make sure everyone's looking at the whole student population, not just the old standbys.

We figured it would be most fun as a competition - see who can finish the list first, and hopefully the Carrows can give whoever wins some sort of accolades. List is below, and it starts today at 4pm, so if you had a productive morning just consider that a warmup.

HEP DISCIPLINE SCAVENGER HUNT
One person from each house
S R H G
One person from each year
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Great Hall
Dungeons
Astronomy Tower
library
outside
Greenhouses
Both members of a couple within the same 24 hour period
Two or more siblings within the same 24 hour period
Dumbledore's Army suspects (if you're not sure if they're a suspect just post to the group and we can decide)


And unrelated, but anyone know what the fuck is going on with the students disappearing? I thought it was the Carrows at first, but they haven't said anything, and their friends aren't freaking the fuck out like they did last time, so it seems like something must be up.

[ daphne ]

Last night was a lot of fun.

The party wasn't too bad either.

WARDED TO ERNIE.

Since you're the new school Casanova... I need your advice.

CONSIDER: A girl offers to set you up, but:

a) You actually like HER.
&
b) She already has a boyfriend.

What do you do?

WARDED TO HEP + ELOISE.

I caught Finnigan loitering in the corridors just now, badmouthing our Professors. I gave him a little piece of my mind, so to speak.

WARDED TO STEPHEN.

Sorry to bother you, again. Do you know anything about healing cuts?

You can see me in water, but I never get wet. What am I?

I think after lunch I might spend some time in the library and study. If anyone is interested, you're welcome to join me.

[ STEPHEN CORNFOOT ]

Happy birthday!

In case you're wondering, I have it on good authority that Michael Corner & Susan Bones are Dumbledore's Army members. Remember, everyone — always keep your ears open for these troublemakers. They could be anywhere!

[ ANDREW KIRKE ]

Hey, Andrew.

Is anyone else appreciating the practically free period that is Muggle Studies these days? It's proving an excellent time to catch up on my Herbology reading.

[ PANSY ]

Darling, two things. One, let's go to France once we're finished here. Two, if you were going to set Blaise up with anyone, who would it be?

[ ELOISE, SHAWNA, PANSY, OLIVER, MATTHEW, ALEXANDER, DAVID, added later STEPHEN, FREYA, THEODORE ]

Hello darlings! Eloise and I are having a little celebration tonight, and you're invited! Dungeon 2, from 8pm. See you then! xoxo

Hah.

[R7 LADIES]

[...] Michael's okay and he's safe.

It's nice opening to journals to games and things like that!!! I think it's important to try stay positive and do fun things even when everything is mostly terrible! So if you reply to this with one thing that has made you happy lately, I will give you a reading of some sort! If you want a reading! You can also tell me a happy thing and not get a reading, but I have plenty of time to do it since I don't do dark arts, muggle studies or killing magical creatures homework. It might not be a tarot reading because I want to practice some other things too, but I haven't decided yet!

[Joanna]

Susan wanted me to let you know she's safe! I can't tell you much more, but at least she's okay.

[...] [Jack]

I don't expect you to reply to this and that's fine because, like, I don't really want to talk to you either, but in case you notice he's missing and care enough to worry, Michael is okay.

Isn't it strange how you can share a dorm with someone for years and never truly know them?

WARD: HEP

I overheard Michael Corner and Susan Bones talking about being part of Dumbledore's Army. I told the Professors Carrow what I heard and hopefully they'll get caught but I thought you should all be informed as quickly as possible too.

[Ernie, Seamus - context]

Hello, Seamus?

[Blaise]

Are we the only two people who remember that NEWTs are at the end of the year? Yes, I thought so too.

[Anthony]

The school couldn't handle your Head Boy.

[Ritchie]

Having fun yet?
