I'm in need of distractions. Any will do. Looking for a magical duelling partner? Someone to go shopping with? Manual labour? Now accepting any and all applications.

JAMES & SIRIUS
I love you two. The last few weeks can fuck right off.

TONKS
Hello my love. How would you and wee Teddy feel about a small lunch tomorrow? Nothing much, just a chance to get out for an hour or two? Or I can come to you and we can picnic in the backyard if the Burrow.

WWW is hiring for immediate work, if anyone is looking for a cashiering job. We lost a few of our employees over this last month and we'd like those spots filled as soon as possible. Part-time and full-time work is available.

[ FILTERED TO KATIE BELL & THALIA GRACE (VIEWABLE TO FRED WEASLEY) ]
Would either of you like to go full time? If that doesn't work for you, we're still happy to have you both part-time, but I wanted to offer you two the hours first, before we hired someone.

[ FILTERED TO BROTHERS ]
Sorry again. I just needed a bit of space and to get away from that awful castl- Fred, I'll have WWW shifts covered while we work on filling those spots. Also, real cute on the new wallpaper in my room. Charlie, do Tonks and Teddy need anything? Already checked in on Sirius and he's pretending he's fine, so, y'know, that's going to end well.

Hi.

Guess I should do this since it seems to be the way to reach out to other non-natives here. I'm Quentin, a Magician from New York/New Jersey by way of Fillory, and definitely still getting to know the place. Suggestions on things to do around here to settle in more?

So, the clock is here? I don't remember seeing it before, but it's definitely in the cottage now and it's... well, one of those waypoints, I think. I opened it when I saw it and expected to see the inside of a clock, but it wasn't, so...

I'm somewhere in the city. No idea where exactly, but I'm probably just going to go wander for a bit?

[GRIMMAULD PLACE + HARRY POTTER]

I can't be here

Oh my god

I need to stay somewhere else for a couple of days, I think.

It's Friday, I'm no longer stuck in ancient times, and no one I care about is currently in danger (please don't take that as a challenge anyone). I'm going out tonight. Drinks, dancing, karaoke. Who wants to join me? Extra bonus points if you're charming and pretty.

Check in? Is everybody doing alright in the past?

[People in the present]
Drinks at the Leaky tonight? I could do with some company, if anybody else feels like it.

I don't know who can see this and who can't, but Teddy and I seem to have been transported to some other version of this world (or at least that's what it seems like) and I'm without my wand.

There are a few of us at least, so I'm not alone, but I'm not sure who else is here.

Nothing like flying around your childhood home in a completely different world than you're used to.

There's also nothing like watching the house you grew up in disappear before your eyes. Well, most of it, at least.

I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for pulling pranks on your fellow Outlanders. While we had some strong contenders and it came close in the end, our winner for First Annual Fool's Contest is Wei Wuxian! You're free to come down to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes at any time to claim your prize.

Can't wait to see what next year brings!

So the Burrow showed up a bit ago and, with it, the broom shed out back. The brooms aren't anything fancy, but I reckon we have enough in there for a game of Quidditch if we wanted to give it a go at some point?

[FILTERED TO HP-VERSE]

So, when's everyone going to see Sirius in Wicked? He's all babyfaced and adorable for it!

» That something that sounds keen to you?

April Fools' Day will be here before you know it. Are you ready? Are you prepared for retaliation? Let Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes help you from being caught with your pants down!

One free Muggle magic trick with every purchase of over $20, today and tomorrow.

If you pull off any epic pranks tomorrow and have proof of it, submit it to WWW. The funniest prank will win one item out of our Explosive Enterprises line, winner's choice. Results will be announced sometime next week.

Well, I watched the video. The information was at least there. I have little knowledge regarding the music. Sirius stated it was from a Muggle film. Sirius explained most of everything else to me, so I do not have questions on what occurs. In Texas, it was much the same, but this place seems both more like home and yet not like home at all, which is very peculiar.

Before I go on for too long, my name is Rasalas Black. I believe most people likely know the name Regulus Black instead. I cannot fault anyone for what it true in their worlds. Anyway, I had some particular questions that I did not think necessary to ask the DoA and that I am uncertain whether my brother knows. But I could be wrong. Also it serves as a way to reach out to others here and start the process of getting to know people again.

Firstly, does anyone know a good tailor? I have some things of our Mother's that I would like to have fitted and some that need further work all things considered. I did not arrive with what clothes I had from before and I should likely get at least a couple alterations before shopping for new pieces. Secondly, are witches robes less out of style than more modern clothing or does it really even matter? Thirdly, I need a bookstore or a library. Fourthly, I am in need of some supplies for Potions. I don't know how long it will be before my things arrive or what order they might arrive in, so it would be better to plan ahead. Lastly, do we have a Quidditch league here or is that not a thing?

Until further notice, please visit WWW in person or send an owl with your orders. Or cats. Whatever other methods you may have. I don't fancy having all your credit card information out there for anyone to see.

Also, green pygmy puffs are available for purchase with St. Patrick's Day coming up. Get them while you can! Must pass a basic human decency questionnaire to adopt one.

How do you ev I should just

uh Hi. I don't know how much Remus and Sirius told you?

Thanks to my uncle, Ásynja Meadery is looking to expand into the ale business. We've been working on developing several ales for our first lineup, but I'd like to get feedback from the public before we make it available to sell.

So those of you who have been with me from the beginning (new people still welcome!), you know what time it is.

I'm looking for a handful of volunteers who could be available tomorrow evening to try our new ales and provide feedback.

- turn this on? Oh, looks like I did it!

- Right, well, I've got no idea how to use this mobile thingy and my thumbs are 800% too big to figure it out but I hit the tiny microphone and now it's supposed to be recording whatever I'm saying. Like - ha ha - like magic. Oy, except it's not magic at all but suppose that doesn't matter much -

- What am I supposed to be doing? Right! An introduction: hullo, name's James Potter. Once I learn to thumb smash on this thing, it'll be better and you lot won't have to listen to me prattle on and on like this -

- I'm supposed to be, er, somewhere else. With my wife and son. Who I've been informed did not apparate or portkey or what have you here with me, and I have to say, I'm not down with that at all - not - at - all.
