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!

[ Doing work? That's for kids who care. Jean is... well he's still pissed about his house placement, even on the second day of class. As it is, he's been pouting at his notes that are pretty much just angry scribbles. ]

[ Hopefully the professor won't catch him dozing behind his cauldron. Because honestly, screw potions. Jean's too busy being a dramatic loser. He'll just ask Marco for his note later. ]

[Nice try, Jean. Waver frowns when he looks over in Jean's direction, and walks over to investigate further.]

Having any problems. Mr Kirsten?

[ Jean shoots up, looking around until he catches sight of Waver. Professor Waver, that is. Or whatever his name was, Jean hadn't actually paid that much attention. ]

Uh, ah--! No! No, sir! No problems here...

[ Just, you know, blank notes and a clean desk. And the book is open to the wrong page. ]

[Waver reaches over, and flips Jean's book to the correct page.]

It does help if you're on the same page with us, in the most literal sense.

I don't tend to hold it against students for slacking off in their first week or so of the term, but it would be nice if you even made an attempt to look busy.

Yeah, right. [ Jean mutters under his breath before looks up. ]

Sorry, Professor...

[ Not sorry... ]

[Waver smiles thinly. He heard that mutter.]

Just make an attempt, please.

Yes, sir...

[ He grumbles, pulling his book closer. Sage, thyme, cumin... ]

Are we making dinner or what?

Vegetarian chili.

[DEADPAN. SO DEADPAN.]

What for? I thought this was Potions.

[ RIGHT OVER HIS LITTLE HEAD. ]

The kitchens are on strike.

Aren't those run by House Elves, though? I didn't know they could strike...

[ He's young, Waver. I'm sorry... ]

....It was a joke. Even the chili.

Aw man, so we're not making chili?

[ He kinda wanted to... ]

What... are we making, actually?

Look down at the page in your book, and you will find the answer.

Oh, yeah........

[ Jean looks down. An Antidote to Common Poisons? ]

How're we supposed to test if these work? Are we gonna be making poisons next?

[ He sounds excited about that, at least. ]

Believe me, I'll be able to tell by colour and smell. And no, we will not.

What's the point of makin' antidotes without poisons, though? That just seems stupid.

[ Jean........... ]

Because you need to learn the basics, and this potion is good for that. You're going to end up staying after class at this rate, because you need to let the potion simmer for about forty minutes.
