IC's up: have at. Some quick housekeeping before I go to bed: The date of departure is 30th July. I will (later) amend the reference to June in the IC to account for the students... literally only just having left Hogwarts so they've had a bit of Summer to stew before setting off. I'll do some detailed stuff on available methods of transport later on (mostly to stop Apparition being a total gamebreaker) but for now just go with me on the portkeys. There are three, so feel [s]free[/s] obliged to buddy up and use them. Please don't actually have the portkeys go until I'm back next week, though! :P Aberdyfi passage is a Diagon Alley-esque location on the coast of Wales which I've totally made up so feel free to describe as you will. La Place du Fourmilier (Anteater Square - because anteaters are so fuckin' cute) is going to be an urbane Wizarding settlement in Paris - just somewhere to be for a little bit until we've worked out what we're doing in Egypt and also who's gonna be sticking around. If relevant to your posts, heads of Houses: Gryffindor: Neville Longbottom Slytherin: Horace Slughorn Ravenclaw: Filius Flitwick Hufflepuff: Unknown [sup]Unless HP Wikia contradicts this, but don't have time to check.[/sup] That should be everything. Sorry I've been delayed setting this off and don't have any Will or Beck action for you just yet. Don't forget: please at least shout out something here or post in the IC before next week or I'll assume you won't be taking part and the portkeys will leave without you! See you next week and have fun. J xx
