Padma Patil wakes up in a bad mood. They just didn't sleep well. It happens. Only, their bad mood physically manifests in a little rain cloud over their head. It starts as a light mist, but as their mood worsens, so does the rain. This lasts until they get home and take off their shoes.
There seems to have been some confusion with the new owls at the Post office. Graham Montague, Alicia Spinnet, [CHARACTER 4], [CHARACTER 5] have all gotten wrong pieces of mail are now having to track down the mails correct owners and find their own.
[CHARACTER 6] spots what they think is a werewolf close to Hogsmeade, and Haley Diggory finds what they think is fur by the Broomsticks. This sparks concern as the children back to school, and Hogsmeade Weekends are about to begin. It brings on another round of calls for regulations, including a petition to the Minister. ooc: volunteers needed to write articles for this
A horrible sight is seen on the outskirts of Hogsmeade during the first Hogsmeade Weekend of the new school year: Dark Mark is seen over the village. Eddie Carmichael was out running errands in the village and gets more than just loud kids to contend with when they see it. Astoria Greengrass sees someone suspicious heading for the woods while everyone else is trying to calm the public. ooc: volunteers needed to write articles for this
Life for Lindley Montague, Andrew Kirke, Miles Bletchley, Rosa Atwood, and Gideon Prewett become a West End musical. All internal monologues become song and dance opportunities. Only they can hear the music, but they randomly perform show-stopping numbers for 24 hours. (think Buffy: Once More With Feeling)
Ever feel like you are being followed? Fleur Delacour and Luna Lovegood feel like that - only it’s real. For 48 hours, they are followed by at least four furry creatures. They just follow them everywhere - taking over their personal space, work space...it’s unbelievable. After the 48 hours - the animals seem to lose interest.
Peeves has escaped the castle! People in and around Hogsmeade are confronted by the poltergeist, but Xavier Ansari becomes the specific target of Peeves. The poltergeist follows them around all morning, making up songs and generally being a noise complaint. He'll disappear for a bit, but comes back when the person thinks they're rid of him.
As if people already didn’t think something hinky was going on - items are appearing. Strange things that no one quite remembers having owned before:ooc: you can play this however you want. We made sure every player had one thing for one of their characters. These are as close to canon items as possible. For the more OC characters, we had to make something up. Please stick with only these characters and items.

Paint your character into a corner. Create a situation for them where they have to use their wits to get out of it. This can be ic or ooc for them, and does not have to count towards ic knowledge. Use columns B & C here for ideas of the types of conflicts you can make for your characters. Completing the challenge will count towards your activity at the end of the month and will earn you one free space. So writing a narrative of 200+ words will count for two pieces of activity for the character involved. Tag all scenes with !challenge.
