THE HOGWARTS MEME


Welcome to Hogwarts! Student, professor or ghost, you have been sorted!

How to play
① Tag in with your name/series/hogwarts house/profession. The latter can be a student, professor or anything else! For example, Jane Doe/That Oldie Zombie Series/Gryffindor/7th-Year
② Go to RNG and roll 1-10. That's your scenario!
③ Tag around!
④ Have fun. :)


Scenarios

① Transfiguration. Pay attention and maybe your teacup will turn into a whole rat instead of just a furry piece of nonsense! Ask someone for help.
② Potions. Watch out for Snape. How's that nastily complicated brew coming along, by the way? Looks like one of you screwed it up!
③ Charms. A relatively easy class ... when your friend isn't bugging you. The trouble is that you're both having too much fun together to concentrate.
④ History of Magic. ... IT'S JUST SO MUCH FUN. Spice up the lesson with your buddy's help!
⑤ Par-tay in the Common Room. Who the heck knows why it's going on, but you're not missing out on this for anything and neither is your friend! Who cares if they're not from the same House, right?
⑥ Quidditch. Training or playing an official inter-house match? Showing off or just trying to stay airborne? Good luck and don't fall off your broom!
⑦ Detention. Shelling out manky old exoskeletons bare-handed? Re-alphabetising an entire section of the library all night long? Maybe you're unfortunate enough to have been grouped together in the Forbidden Forest.
⑧ The Astronomy Tower. Whether a late night class or a romantic evening together, the stars are beautiful.
⑨ Hogsmeade. You have a whole day here with your friends! Where will you go and what are you up to?
⑩ The Great Hall. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? A feast sure sounds nice, be it for Halloween or Christmas. Celebrate together!

[Breakfast time in Hogwarts and Tony is doing his usual rounds. As a general rule, he grabs a bacon buttie from the Ravenclaw table, then flits around to see his friends from other Houses. It's not like he can't talk to his Housemates before breakfast, after all, and this is the only chance he'll get to chat with his non-Ravenclaw friends before class. (He would chat to them in class, but his father's beginning to get a little aggravated by his constant detentions for talking in class. Apparently he ought to have stopped getting so many a couple of years ago. Oops? It's not as if it's his fault; all this House nonsense can really put a crimp in a guy's social life...!)

He plonks himself down next to Charles without any preamble and snags a sausage from House table, getting a glare from one of his seatmates. Tony shoots them his most charming smirk in return before turning to Charles.]

What? I'm only taking his share-- it's not like he eats it, anyway.

Morning, sunshine.

[ charles is a morning person; he does his best thinking in the hours before class, and by breakfast in the great hall has read through the week's readings for arithmancy. his mind buzzing with ideas, charles attacks his breakfast with vigor, piling fruit and waffles on his plate as his housemates rub sleep from their eyes. charles likes mornings with his fellow hufflepuffs; as a prefect he's tried to encourage the entire house to attend breakfast together instead of wandering in and out or rushing in ten minutes before their first class. charles' influence on the house is already deeply felt, and the consequence is that nearly every hufflepuff is at the table mumbling pleasantries to each other and sharing important communal time.

tony's the sort to understand what he's trying to accomplish--though of course tony himself would never conform to anything so structured. when his friend sits down next to him, charles looks up in exasperation. ]

Yes, by all means invalidate any statement I might've made by lessening the amount of meat consumed.

[ but he might be grinning as he says it; they've known each other for ages, and it's impossible not to be in a good mood around tony. ]

Good morning, yourself. And congratulations; Professor Flitwick told me your independent study was approved.

[ex_flagrant831]

[Tony is a morning person once he has had tea; before that, he's not fit for much, afterwards he becomes his usual self (how fit for things he is depends hugely on your personal mileage). Tony is more concerned by cross-House relations than inter-House unity; honestly, the whole House system gets on his nerves a little, because his friends are scattered pretty evenly across all of the Houses, and it irritates him to no end that he can't just gather them all up and put them into one cohesive unit. If everybody could just live in the Tower, things would be much easier...!

He's not a Prefect, of course; he's always in far too much trouble for that, though he remains well-liked by most of the teachers for his charm and kindness, his impeccable marks, and his willingness to take detention without bad feeling or resentment. He's also something of a frustration for his constant tardiness and tendency to chatter.]

Hey, one sausage is like, virtually nothing. It's still lessened, it's just... Less lessened.

[He polishes off the rest of the sausage before picking at the crust of his sandwich.]

Thanks. Now if only they'd let me off the hook for all those useless classes...

[Arithmancy, Runes, Potions, and Transfiguration are great classes. Herbology and Charms can be dull, but they're necessary. History of Magic is synonymous, for Tony, with torture, and Muggle Studies isn't much better. DADA, in theory, should be excellent-- but in practice, there's so much textbook nonsense that he tends to find it irritating. He managed to escape Divination and Care of Magical Creatures, but that means he's still taking two classes which are pointless, and that doesn't exactly float his magical boat.]

What about you, has Dumbledore given you the all-clear yet?

[heritage]

They're not useless, Tony, they expand your horizons. You can't study modern magic without a proper understanding of what came before.

[ charles can get defensive of the 'lighter' subjects; his favorite class is muggle studies, which had surprised him and thoroughly irritated his family. perhaps because of that, he's become the class' loudest advocate. but the argument is an old one and he lets it slide. he's far more eager to discuss his project. ]

Not yet. He flew out last night to meet with the ministry again. I'm hoping he'll ask to see me today.

[ charles looks torn between self-assurance and concern, uncertain which to go with. he pushes a piece of cantaloupe around his plate. ]

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. My theories about legilimency would revolutionize the field. I can't believe there isn't more research about the connection between meditative practice and improved legilimency skill. Muggles, you know, have entire religions based on meditation.

[ charles only sort of knows what he's talking about, but since no muggleborns are listening in on their conversation he takes a few liberties to make his point. looking up at tony, he smiles suggestively. ]

We should practice tonight, in case Dumbledore asks for a display.

[ex_flagrant831]

You always say that, and yet miraculously all I hear is a sort of droning noise. It's funny, because I haven't even been working on my wandless magic.

[Of course it is, Charles, of course it is. Tony doesn't think they're lighter, exactly, he just thinks they bore him, and consequently he is fully convinced that he shouldn't need to have anything to do with them. (Although he would rather vehemently defend anyone else's right to study anything they pleased.)]

Merlin, all these stupid regulations-- I don't see the point. [He catches that hesitation, though, and the uncertainty behind it, and nudges his arm with his elbow.] Hey, they'll catch on eventually: I mean, they're a bit slow and bureaucratic and insufferable, but they're not actually stupid, mostly.

[Tony pretty much takes Charles' word as gospel when it comes to Muggles; he doesn't know too much about them, and he isn't interested in knowing too much about them. They don't have magic, after all, so how interesting can they be? Meditation wouldn't exactly be his forte, either, as it happens, but he's gotten a little better at the overall idea since he started trying to help Charles out.]

Absolutely; my evening is for once surprisingly open.

[Don't ask why.]

[heritage]

[ he knows better than to ask, but the implied trouble makes his appetite return. spearing a few strawberries, charles smiles at his friend. ]

Excellent. After dinner, usual place?

[ they'd carved out a roomy spot in one of the unused tunnels leading out of hogwarts; it had caved in decades ago so hardly anyone bothered traveling down to the end. charles had put up charms to divert attention away from the end of the tunnel where it ended in rubble, and they'd been stashing supplies and brewing potions there for months. the room of requirement was useful for certain things but they needed their own, more permanent location for ongoing experiments away from their gossipy classmates and overly cautious professors. and it was their own, a necessary escape. charles had never told anyone else about it, not even erik. ]

I want to try something new. It's experimental, most likely dangerous. I assumed you'd approve.
