THE CHILDHOOD MEME

Childhood. That magical time between infancy and adulthood where you feel invincible. Where you haven't a care or responsibility in the world. It's a time where imagination runs wild and every day is a new adventure waiting to be had.

While there's plenty of fun out there in the world of adults, there's nothing that quite compares to the innocence of those early years. So, grab your juice box, your favorite toy and remember to be back before the streetlights come on.

HOW TO PLAY:

○ This meme is targeted toward the younger end of the age spectrum (15 and under), but that doesn't mean older characters aren't welcome. Does your character have a soft spot for children? Are they typically the type to be the babysitter? Or maybe they're the older sibling being dragged along to keep an eye on the younger one? Aging down is also an acceptable option, haven't we all wondered what our characters would have been like as kids?
○ Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and any other info you'd like to include.
○ Reply to others.
○ Thread and have fun!

1. PLAYGROUND/PARK : The spot where all the best childhood memories are made. Are you playing a game of tag? Are you hanging upside down on the jungle gym? Are you getting into trouble while your mom is catching up on the latest gossip?

2. SCHOOL : The place where 75% of your day is spent and lifelong friendships are forged. Maybe you're in art class, maybe you're at recess, or maybe you're on a school field trip. The possibilities are endless. Just don't be that kid eating paste.

3. MALL : For the kids on the older end of the spectrum. Whether you're at the arcade, whether you're meeting with friends, or whether your parents gave you twenty bucks to get out of their hair, you've got the entire shopping mall at your disposal.

4. CIRCUS : It's the greatest show on earth! Lion tamers! Acrobats! Elephants! Feats meant to stun and amaze you! Cotton candy the size of your head! Are you watching the show from the stands? Or is your family a part of the show?

5. THEME PARK/AMUSEMENT PARK : It's a classic vacation that's fun for the whole family. Are you the roller coaster type? Or are you the type to shy away from the thrill rides and stick to the carousel instead? Keep a hold of someone's hand, though, the only thing that can ruin a day is a lost child in the park.

6. FAIR/FESTIVAL/CARNIVAL : The theme park on a smaller scale. Sometimes the rides are a little shaky, but there's plenty of good deep fried foods and games to be played. Go out and win yourself a goldfish!

7. NEVERLAND : Yes, you read that right. Just like in Peter Pan, it's the magical place where no one has to ever grow up and adults aren't welcome. What kind of adventures will you get into? Remember, it only takes a little bit of fairy dust and good thoughts to fly.

8. WILDCARD : None of these work for you? Go ahead and created your own!

[ Getting on the train is hard. Leaving his parents is hard. Leaving Lily Luna behind is hard. Being stuck an entire school year with James Sirius is hard. He wants to go to Hogwarts but he's scared, more scared than he should be even with his father's pep talk. He feels better about potentially being in Slytherin, but he's not sure the rest of his family will feel the same.

In any case he doesn't like the way people talk about him when they think he can't hear, the way they talk to him like he's some kind of extension of the famous Harry Potter. It's overwhelming and he hates it. He wonders if they've all done this to James too or if it's him because he looks like their dad.

He wants to sit alone but all the compartments are full except one. One with only one other boy in it. Albus hesitates in the doorway, almost afraid to step inside. ]

Um... Is it all right if I sit here?

[It was strange for them to get a knock at the door. It was never a good thing. His dad's expression grew tense and worried, his mum's quietly encouraging. She told him to keep playing while his dad got up to answer it, but he couldn't help but watch, curious. He was pretty sure he hadn't broken any of the rules, so it must not be someone coming over because of that. Still, his mum had that look, like she was getting herself ready to start throwing things in boxes.

The conversation at the door was too quiet for him to hear; whoever was there seemed to be just as soft-spoken as his dad. Eventually, though, his dad moved out of the way to let them in, and Remus saw an old man guiding a boy just a few years younger than him into their house. Now he was even more curious; he hadn't gotten to play with any other kids in a long time.

His mother stood, and it was clear she didn't know who the man was, though his father seemed to.]

"Hope, Remus, this is Professor Dumbledore. And, ah--" [His dad trailed off uncertainly. He still looked nervous, in a way that Remus recognized. He was sure they'd have to move again now. And he hadn't even unpacked his clothes from the last one! But Dumbledore smiled disarmingly, holding up a hand as though to soothe the rattled nerves in the room.]

"I came to ask for your assistance on a very grave matter. You see, young Regulus here has found himself in a situation which may seem very... familiar to you." [It's then the old man looks right at him, and he knows that Dumbledore knows about him.]
