SCENARIOS
1. GOTTA GET BACK TO SCHOOL You're a student at Hogwarts! ... Or another school! Go to class, have a food fight in the Great Hall, get detention, go wild! Don't get expelled from Durmstrang!
2. TAKE MY FIREBOLT GONNA TAKE TO THE SKY It's time for a Quidditch match! Whether you're playing for the house cup or the world cup, it's bound to be a good time unless you get hit in the face with a Bludger.
3. BACK TO WITCHES AND WIZARDS AND MAGICAL BEASTS You're a Muggle-born! Or a Squib in a magical family! Or a sibling of a Muggle-born! Are you leaving your family to go back to school? Are your siblings leaving you?
4. THIS YEAR I PLAN TO STUDY A LOT You're a TEACHER at Hogwarts. As faculty, it's your job to make sure these kids don't get into too much trouble while you're trying to teach them. Good luck, and go ahead and take away some house points. We know you want to.
5. I'LL HAVE THE GREATEST WIZARD CAREER You've graduated and you need a job! Are you a Ministry intern? Something a little higher up? How about an Auror or a healer at St. Mungo's? Infiltrating MACUSA to further your evil agenda?
6. VOLDEMORT IS GOING DOWN An obligatory war option. Depending on your era, maybe you're up against Grindelwald! You might have to fight Voldemort! Hell, depending on circumstances, you may have to fight a new dark force entirely!!
7. CAN'T WE JUST BE DEATH EATERS Seriously, you're tired of playing goodie-two-shoes. It's time to wreck things and ruin people's days. Maybe try to be not so OPENLY crazy wizard racist so you don't get caught, though. Or do and have some kind of redemption arc.
8. I COULD BE FALLING IN LOVE WITH HERMIONE GRANGER A shipping option! Is it puppy love? Soul mates? Are you in love with a Muggle? A Muggle in love with a wizard?
9. HAND ME A GLASS LET THE BUTTERBEER FLOW You need to go shopping! Or drinking. Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, Hogsmeade trips... Find anything and everything you want. If you go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, make sure you don't get busted by a teacher with your goodies. If you're in New York, bring by some of that swanky jewelry or grab a pastry.
8. SNAKES AND GOBLINS AND WEREWOLVES Sooo you're some kind of being! A Centaur, a Merperson, a Werewolf, a Vampire... What's life like for you? Eat any kids lately? Ha ha, just kidding!
As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun! |

[Matt blinks a few times, shaking his head.]
First of all, I'm not sure that's possible, but most wizards are a bit too arrogant to think it's possible, so who knows on that front. Second, what did you put in this thing, and finally, who are you sending it to?
There are easier ways to make people believe in you, though. And if someone doesn't want it, that could be a huge problem for them.
[Sorry, dude. Matt's always cautious about things.]

Oh, I put a lot of powerful stuff! See, I read a lot, about possible origins of magic. Also, wands. See, the things that make cores of wands? I put those as ingredients in my potion.
I'm sending it to Father, of course! There's not a drop of magic in him, and, and that makes him nervous about everything I'm doing and I am, and he doesn't believe in my success. So, see, everything will be perfect once my Dad's a wizard.
Besides, he'd make such a great Wizard, Dumbledore would pale in comparison, I'm telling you!
[looks down at his own feet, now hesitant. Maybe this was a mistake to begin with. He can't trust in anyone to share his great goals and ambitions. Even a Ravenclaw thinks he's being stupid, what a shame!] But you don't believe in me. I should've known!
no subject
[There's concern on his face, and he takes a breath, beckoning him over to a table and some chairs.]
Now. Let's start at the beginning, ok? I believe that you read a lot, I totally do. And I don't doubt that you could try to make something like that.
People are always afraid of what they don't understand. That's just people. Have you talked to him about what you do? Maybe if he understood, things would go better.
[A pause and a bit of a smirky smile.]
All that aside, though, it's really interesting and creative thought. I have to give you a lot of points for that.
no subject
I mean, I may need some help, or I won't make it in time for Father's Birthday, and I really want him to become a Wizard on his Birthday, that would be just so.... so cool!!
Do you think he could teach Defense Against Dark Arts next year??
[yes, his thoughts and imagination are already in too far of the future, that's Varian for you.]
Will you help? Please?? You promised I could ask you for advice with difficult stuff, you promised.
