TOO TIRED FOR A PITHY TITLE



MAKING MAGIC MEME


Magic is something intensely intimate. Whether it's something inherent in you from when you're born or something drawn out in rituals and summonings, it's full of depth and wonder and potential dangers. Maybe you're showing someone that doesn't have magic what you can do, maybe you're sharing magic with someone you love, winding things together. Maybe you're heading out with some friends to make a salt circle and do some summoning. The point is you're not in it alone. You're sharing in this intimate experience whether it's new for you or old hat. Take care of yourselves and each other; hope that the person you know isn't prejudiced against magic.

• Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops.
• Naturally you can AU your characters to have magic or AU them into other canons that have magic! Don't let a "mundane" setting deter you.
• Reply to other people's top levels!
• Have fun!

[You know what's great about magic? Well, besides everything. Magic is really great for getting back at bullies, especially when those bullies are suddenly like...twenty years older than you.

Are Draco's trouser legs suddenly smoking, and maybe a tiny bit on fire? Probably. Yes. Definitely on fire.]

[ There are several reasons they've always gotten along so well, Lucius thinks as they stand on a Welsh moor together, the last gurgling breath of the sacrifice dying in between them. One, of course, is the kind of almost reckless magical curiosity that encourages them to try a ritual even with no real need for it. Naturally, the love for torture and murder and just death - mutual loves that had them often paired together to wreak terror on Muggles and Muggleborns. But the last, the one that few really realize, is because he and Bella - their shared lust isn't just for blood.

Bellatrix Black is stripping out of her robes under the light of the moon, in a field coated in blood, and Lucius doesn't even bother to try to take his eyes off her as he unfastens the hooks and buttons on his own clothing. ]


Do you think we should have heeded the warning? Bound together forever?

[ He doesn't believe it, really, and suspects she doesn't either. If she did, it would be Tom Riddle who she tried to do this ritual with. But it could be true. If it is, how much does he mind? ]

"Goddammit!" Penny bellowed, arriving in a place he didn't mean to, at a time that wasn't correct, in little more than a loincloth.

He glowered at the man in front of him, muscles spasming as he got used to oxygen again. He'd just 'ported in from a planet with only 10% of the necessary gasses he needed for breath.

"Where...am I?" His hands fell away and rested on his knees. It took a second, but the breeze assured him that at least one ball was out of its pouch.

[In Felicia's defense, she naturally knows better. There's a reason, amongst many others, that her parents kept the fact the women in her family can enter and exit dreams as they please a secret and that's the fact that said dream tinkering also opens the door to other things. Not just the sheer exhaustion that comes with spending the hours one would normally spend sleeping on digging around in someone else's subconscious, but that the action leaves her own mind open to the paranormal. It's like leaving a fresh hot roast chicken unattended on the supernatural picnic table; sooner or later a ghost bear is coming for a leg or two.

So that's where Felicia has put herself, laid out on top of her blankets, arms down at her sides with her eyes closed, letting her mind wander off into sleep and letting it go where it may. She's been running into good luck these last few months, so nothing can go awry, right?

How about wrong?]

[After the war ended, it swiftly became apparent they couldn't keep living with Dora's mother. They needed space, and so did she, and with Dora reinstated as an auror and Remus picking up steady freelancing work, it was within the realm of possibility.

Harry was the one to offer the solution: 12 Grimmauld Place, left to him with all it's dark history and curses, both ancient and intensely recent. He had no wish to live there himself, and had felt that Dora, and thus Teddy, had as much claim to the place as he did. If anyone could make that house a place he'd come to visit, it was the two of them, he'd said. So, it was settled. It would be where the Lupins would make their home. Remus couldn't deny that Sirius would have approved.

But first, they had to make it a suitable place for a child to live, and that meant the sort of clearing out of Dark magic and curses that they simply didn't have the time or resources for during the war. Teddy's with his Gram for the day, and they've recruited help in the form of Bill and Charlie, who are tackling the main floor, but Dora and Remus have the upper rooms. Working in pairs is just a matter of safety.

Remus gives a wry smile as he looks over the daunting task before them; the library, full of the worst sort of cursed tomes and books.]


Who do you think got the worse deal? Us with this room, or Bill and Charlie with that portrait?

[It actually isn't the first time Magnus has had something shiny stolen from him, he's even been mugged before (not that it went well for the mugger), but this is absolutely the first time he's magically reached for the culprit and found a small furry animal gazing mournfully up at him. Before eating his necklace—all his necklaces, and three of his rings, how??—and wriggling out of his grip.

He learns, over the course of running after it and then giving up on that and instead using a few bits of fur to track it, that it is very fast and good at dodging, but cannot resist a jewelry shop. Magnus can sympathize, he can rarely resist a jewelry shop either, but he generally spends some time looking over the pieces on offer, chatting with the girl behind the counter. This one is just stealthily tucking brooches into its fur in the window display.

Magnus watches the creature turns a gaudy ring over in its little hands as if debating whether it's worth the effort, not realizing he may not be the only one at the window anymore.]
