Gilderoy Lockhart has a new book out. Despite not being elected Minister for Magic, he is not going to let that put a damper on his spirits. Miles Bletchley doesn't want to be there, but needs a gift for his/her mother's birthday and what's better than an autographed book by her favorite author? [Character 2] has been waiting in longer than anyone would like to admit, when another customer cuts in front and then proceeds to cause a scene when asked to go back to the end of the queue. Juniper Dorney gets his/her picture taken with Gilderoy Lockhart and it is the Greatest. Thing. Ever. Nina Deverill came in for a new journal but somehow won the raffle--a complete set of works by Gilderoy Lockhart, autographed of course.
Darren O'Hare, the newest Minister of Magic is to be sworn in today. The ceremony is to take place at 10 A.M. and will be broadcast live by both the WNN and the WWN.[Character 5] is upset that the coverage has bumped off their favourite radio drama. [Character 6] has been assigned watch over the refreshments. Nobody wants a repeat of the Truth Serum Fiasco. All non-essential Ministry Employees are given the afternoon off in celebration, unfortunately Gideon Prewett has to stay at the Ministry
For the first time in history (that anyone can remember), Gringotts is broken into. Lydia Winters is in the bank at the time of the robbery and is attacked. To make matters worse, he/she is questioned first by the goblins than by Iona Rivers (auror). We'll let you figure out which experience was worst. Phillipa Flint's vault is broken into, but nothing taken. He/She has to come down, in the middle of the night, to give a statement and confirm inventory that nothing was taken.
In an otherwise boring game between Ukraine and Scotland, the real entertainment is the altercation between the Scottish Kelpies and the Ukrainian Firebirds. Charlotte Wood gets caught in the middle and just barely manages to avoid getting a hoof to the face, but ends up temporarily blinded by becoming acquainted with the Firebird's plumage up close and personal. [Character 12] manages to get down to the pitch in the aftermath and collects hair and feathers left on the ground. Do you know how much those things are worth?
It is time for Witch Weekly's Annual Most Charming Smile Award. Everyone thinks last year's winner, Cassiopeia Black, has a good chance of keeping the title, but there was a significant write-in campaign to give the award to Cedric Diggory, who was 'robbed' of the title last year. Evan Potter is still trying to wrap his/her head around being nominated and still think's a giant prank. [Character 16] is eliminated because it comes out that he/she tried to bribe a member of the deciding committee. Surprising everyone, dark horse candidate, James Potter is awarded the prestigious prize.
Newspapers have been reporting a rise in dragon poaching occurring across the Eurasian continent.Reserves in India and Norway have reported losses and both the Welsh preserve and the MaFusty clan have increased security.. As a result, dragon products, including wand cores, potions ingredients, and dragonhide difficult to obtain, which is unfortunate for George Weasley. Ministry officials, [Character 19] and [Character 20], are put in charge of stopping blackmarket/smuggled goods/unlicensed dragon products coming into the country
To help commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Merlin's birth, the Minister's Office announces its first major initiative after two weeks of being in office. The Ministry is undertaking a genealogical and historical survey of the wizarding population, The first serious study and inquiry of its kind, investigators will be contacting people across the country for their input. While it will take years for the study to be complete, they hope to unveil preliminary findings in time for Merlin's 1000th birthday on 26 of January 2003. (Open to all characters)
With the end of the school year just a few short weeks away, the Board of Governors would like to invite experts from the wider wizarding world to come lecture and teach for a few days so all students may get the benefit of their knowledge. Lecturers are of course, free to arrange with their host professor the best schedule for them. [Character 21- Astronomy], [Character 22- Ancient Runes], Millicent Bulstrode - Arithmancy, [Character 24 - Charms], Luna Lovegood - Creatures, Gilderoy Lockhart- Defense, Lavender Brown - Divination, [Character 28- Herbology], Cedric Diggory - History of Magic, [Character 30 - Muggle Studies], Francis Troy - Potions, Osgar Blishwick - Transfiguration
In a stunning amount of generosity, an anonymous benefactor has purchased a block of tickets for the entire student body to attend a World Cup game! [Character 33], envious of the good seats afforded to the students tries to attach themselves to the group, but is caught and ejected out of the game. Barry Ryan actually finds more entertainment watching teenagers try to slip away from their minders and turns a blind eye when a pair manage to successfully escape. [Character 35] something something something.
Peter Pettigrew, Primrose Dursley, and Mary-Anne Prewett, three completely unrelated people, receive a strange an owl from a solicitor, calling them to their office. Upon arriving, both characters are informed that a wizard they never met has left them both a small, but not insubstantial, amount of money. They are very confused. There is a catch, however, they have spend the next month living (sleeping every night) in the creepy Ram's Inn, where strange occurrences have been reported for decades. If both are unable to stay the entire month neither will be able to claim the money and a new trio will be selected.
To celebrate the beginning of the summer season, Godric's Hollow is putting on a fete! Food, games, music, entertainment, and vendors abound. [Character 39]. [Character 40. and Gemma Higgs pay for the chance to drop [Character 42] in the dunk tank, but the joke's on them. They're the ones to get wet.
To celebrate the beginning of the summer season, Godric's Hollow is putting on a fete! Food, games, music, entertainment, and vendors abound. Jessica Moran, [Character 44], and [Character 45] all sign up for the pie eating contest, but nobody told them about the side-effect of everything tasting like the fruit pie they consumed for the rest of the day.
