The Wizarding Meme
shamelessly ripped off and tweaked from here.

Inspired by the plurk meme last week or something, haven't you ever wanted to see how your CR would work in Ruby City? Well now your character was born and raised in the HP world. (And if you are a part of the HP cast then welcome home I suppose!)

⚘ RULES:
- Post with your character, the fandom, their house and if you want to, their year (or what their house was when they were a student, etc etc.)
- Character can be a Hogwarts Student, a visiting student for the Triwizard Tournament, or an adult of any sort! (If your character is "old" feel free to de age them, or have them be teachers. Or give options for both. ~~That's my plan~~)
- Roll between 1-14 at RNG, or don't!
- Reply to others.
- Profit.

1 ⚘ CLASS: You may pick the class, but really the class picks you. Passing notes? Eying up the teacher? In class whispering? Spells going wrong? Any thing goes!

2 ⚘ LIBRARY: SSSSHHHH! It's study time, but some just don't see it that way.

3 ⚘ HOGSMEADE: With all that hard work, it's time for a well deserved break. Go for a walk, drop by the Three Broomsticks, get some shopping done, or maybe take a peek into the Shrieking Shack, so long as something doesn't grab you.

4 ⚘ QUIDDITCH: For some people, the Quidditch pit is the place to be. Whether you're practicing, watching a game or just doing homework in the stands, this might just be the place for you.

5 ⚘ FORBIDDEN FOREST: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? IT'S FORBIDDEN. Be careful the spiders don't get you.

6 ⚘ DIAGON ALLEY: Whether near or far, this is where your fellow wizards and witches will gather. Making a day of it or just dropping in to get some chores done? Take a load off, maybe keep an eye out for your friends as they come out of Gringotts or sneak off into Knockturn Alley.

7 ⚘ MEAL TIME: Ah, the Great Hall. A wonderful place to work or play, but then again there's always the Kitchens if you know where to find them.

8 ⚘ YULE BALL: Time to put your best foot forward. That is, until the Weird Sister's start to play. Then, all bets are off. Maybe somebody even spiked the punch when Professor McGonagall wasn't looking.

9 ⚘ SNEAKING AROUND: The Restricted Section? Going to get a midnight snack from the kitchens? Or someplace else? ...Are you sure you should really be in here?

10 ⚘ WANDERING THE GROUNDS: Much like sneaking around, but without the threat of...

11 ⚘ DETENTION: Well, that's what you get for...whatever you did. This isn't going to be fun, you can be sure of that.

12 ⚘ HOGWARTS EXPRESS: Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts! All aboard the Hogwarts Express, want anything from the trolly dear?

13 ⚘ COMMON ROOM: Perhaps you and somebody in your house are just chilling... or maybe- have you been crafty enough to sneak somebody from another house in?

14 ⚘ ACCIO OPTION: Pick your own or make something else up!

[ Despite the slam, it takes him a moment to look away from the cards he was mulling upon and at his new table mate. With a slight, somewhat eager smile, he sets them aside, neatly stacked upon each other. ]

I'm afraid it'd take more than our meal time to properly list every defect present in humankind.

[ Though he just placed it on the table, he subconsciously picks the deck and starts shuffling it expertly. ]

Is something the matter, though? Perhaps I might be of help.

[ Labrys lets out half a chuckle, dropping one hand to draw circles in the hard wood of the table. ]

Yeah it would, wouldn't it? People are just jerks is all.

[ Something in her eyes hardens and the line of her mouth gets tight. Labrys wasn't over eager to share her experiences before the school and other peoples actions did little to make her want to share. Really, it was just a recipe for disaster. ]

I hate it when people talk behind my back. It's rude, y'know? And it's none of their business to begin with.

[ He nods, acknowledging what Labrys had just said, and shuffles his deck once more, his mouth still curved into a slight smile. ]

It's human nature to seek fleeting entertainment by trivializing and mocking the privacy of others. Oddly enough, I've been in your position myself in the past.

[ It's not a matter of attitude, he just doesn't seem to get why it's important to care. ]

While it's definitely not an easy task to completely discard those worries, I'd encourage you to clear your head and seek solace among friends.

[ And in a quick motion, he curves his palm and the cards fly from one hand to the other. ]

In the meantime, may I interest you in a quick reading to take your mind off your troubles?

--Sure. Why not.

[ Labrys isn't sure she really believes in the powers of Divination; she's a logical creature at heart, for all her human like complexities, and things like Divination just-- well. They didn't make sense, really. But maybe she's wrong, Theo sure seems to believe in it. She grabs her books and puts them on the bench next to her, getting them out of the boy's way. ]

Lay it on me, big guy.

Very well then.

[ In a smooth motion, he reaches out and places the deck in front of her. ]

Please cut the deck, whilst keeping the predicament you seek answered clear in your mind.

[ She cuts the deck quickly, one thing instantly popping into her head (though if this is what he means, she doesn't know).

I want people to get over it and stop bein' jerks.

Please oh please. ]

[ With nothing but a tad of a smug smirk, he takes the now-cut deck, and lays out five cards in an upright arc. ]

From left to right, each card represents: The Present Position, the Present Desires, the Unexpected, the Immediate Future and the Outcome.

[ Shifting his head, he looks directly at Labrys. ]

Ready?

[ She stares at them for a moment and maybe feels like this might be a mistake. But, well-- there's no turning back. Labrys nods, still staring at the cards. ]

As I'll ever be.

[ And at that, he turns the first card around. ]

The reversed Justice card. Your present position is that of unfairness, and lack of accountability.

[ And then the second. ]

The upright Sun. Your present desires include seeking positivity, and vitality.

[ For some reason he presses the "vitality" a bit more, but his intentions are a mystery, Without further delay, he turns the third card. ]

Now, for the Unexpected... the Upright World. It symbolizes completion, integration, and accomplishment.

[ And then the fourth. ]

The reversed Lovers. The immediate future will bring Disharmony, and Imbalance.

[ And finally, the fifth card. ]

The Outcome is portrayed as the upright Chariot card. In the end, you will find control and willpower, but somewhat predominantly, victory.

[ Closing his eyes, he sets his hands on the table, then clasping them together, his gaze slowly shifting toward Labrys. ]

The interpretation is up to you, of course. It would also do well to remember that the future is never set in stone.
