[h3]tl;dr:[/h3]

You are one of a small group of Hogwarts students that have won a bursary to go and travel round Europe. The RP will follow an episodic format based on the various destinations the group will visit.
[h3]Plot:[/h3]

Apart from the basic concept of one big magical road trip, the plot is to be decided by you! By separating each destination into episodes, I’ll open the floor to suggestions for what we might find when we get there: a village overrun with werewolves? A bowtruckle that never learned the power of friendship? Just getting stupidly drunk in a Spanish bar? Let me know what you want to do! There are lots of not-quite-developed ideas in the HP universe, and if JK hasn't fleshed them out, we can do it instead! While we're in one episode we can decide where to go next.

You might notice the ‘slice of life’ tag: this is set just seven years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort. Our characters will be old enough to remember his regime, so, as well as taking a trip round Europe, the RP will also look at the aftermath of the war for them.

This is set in 2004 after the canonical Harry Potter story has finished and will add to the canon, but, as a general rule, not contradict it. IE: you should feel free to invent spells, characters, creatures, locations and anything else, so long as you don’t contradict the central canon. This is probably more for people that have read the books rather than watched the films. That said, I would prefer to steer clear from any canon characters or events. 

[h3]Players:[/h3]

I don’t have a set limit on the number of people to be involved in this. I’m more interested in people that can get grammar, punctuation, and spelling basically right who want to be active members of a group RP.

[h3]Questions?[/h3]

Apart from the concept, I know I haven’t put up too much information here, but I’d be interested to see what you guys make of it and what you’d particularly like to see.

[h3]Credits:[/h3]

I did nab the idea of 'Hogwarts students go around Europe' from an RP that didn't quite get off the ground ages ago, but I don't think I'll get sued for re-using it. ;)

[hider=Submitting Character Sheets:]

This is a quick explanation of the sheet. I know the sheet looks huge, but over half of it is just single-word answers, so don’t panic! Please do make sure you submit it with the code (see below) to keep it tidy. You may want to check [url=http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page]Harry Potter wiki[/url] for some sections. If you want to give your character a 'power' of some description (Animagus, etc), please [i]run this by me first[/i].
