With summer nearly upon Britain, BrĂana Mullet finds his or her kitchen invaded by dormice, which isn't so bad except the nest has decimated the newly purchased blackberries…. And their tea collection.
Overnight, a thicket of brambles complete with thorns as long as a person's thumb, pop up at either end of Knockturn Alley. Gideon Prewett tries to get through with brute force, but has to be rushed to St. Mungo's with an emergency supply of blood replenishing potions. Nina Devrill tries to fight plant with fire, but anywhere the fire touches the brambles grow twice as thick. Knockturn remains cut off physically until the next morning when representatives from Magical Accidents and Catastrophes are able to remove the enchantment.
Percy Weasley, Astoria Greengrass, Iona Rivers, Draco Malfoy, Olivia Diggory, [Character 9], [Character 10], and [Character 11] all spend their morning dancing the cotillion in the Ministry's Atrium. It doesn't matter if an individual doesn't know the steps, their feet are doing all the work for them. Eventually, around noon, the enchantment wears off and weary dancers are permitted to go about their business.
Miles Bletchley and Theodore Nott are in Hogsmeade when they each come across a path they have never seen before. Curious they start down the path together until they come across a cabin in the woods....made of gingerbread and candy? Suddenly ravenous, the pair begin to gorge themselves until passing out. Several hours hours later they come to in an empty clearing, gingerbread house disappeared as if it had never been there in the first place.
Celia Wood, Tracey Davis, and Lindley Montague buy different potions from different apothecaries across the wizarding world, but all experience rapid hair growth. Cutting it doesn't seem to make any difference and it is only when the cause is discovered three days later, a tainted potion ingredient, are healers able to reverse the effects. Of course, they might need to get haircuts more frequently for the next few months.
[Character 17] is looking to purchase a new rug. While poking around the second hand store in Diagon, they come across what they think is the perfect accessory. When he/she step on it, however the rug begins to levitate almost all the way to the ceiling. Misuse of Muggle Artifacts has to be called in because it won't come down. Eventually someone figures out that saying "I wish you free" deactivates the charm.
In response to the controversial article three weeks ago, the Moonlight Society has organized a benefit individuals with lycanthropy who have had financial difficulties due to their name being published. Nymphadora Tonks wins the live auction [item of player's choice] without ever bidding. [Character 19] is giving the keynote address, but is repeatedly interrupted by a pair of attendees who have enjoyed the open bar a bit too much.
Across town there have been a mysterious set of break-ins. Alicia Spinnet has his/her home broken into, but finds the living room furniture rearranged with nothing stolen. Cassiopeia Black comes home to find someone used their kitchen to cook what looks to be a fabulous meal. At least the mysterious stranger was considerate enough to leave leftovers. When Philippa Flint returns home to find their bed has fresh linens on it plus his/her laundry all done and folded. Nobody is caught for any of these 'crimes.'

Almost in line with our backstory threads from December and January, this month players will have the opportunity to explore their characters as they behave in the book/canon universe via threads/logs/google docs. It could take place in the past (during the war) or 'in real time' (the current date).
There is no requirement to participate, however these threads WILL count as activity if you so choose. Please tag each thread with the !Challenge tag.
