[Infamous Auror]

Quidditch World Cup

22^nd August, 1994

_{Ireland 170 – Bulgaria 160}

The on-pitch action was very much overshadowed by the events that followed this match. A spectacular Snitch capture by young Seeker Viktor Krum was enough to salvage Bulgarian dignity, but not to secure a win.

_{Reappearance of the Dark Mark}

Possibly the most infamous World Cup Final of the last few centuries was the Ireland-Bulgaria match just last week, which took place on Dartmoor, England. During the post-match celebrations of Ireland’s triumph there was an outbreak of unprecedented violence as supporters of Lord Voldemort attacked fellow wizards and captured and tortured local Muggles. For the first time in fourteen years, the Dark Mark appeared in the sky, which caused widespread alarm and resulted in many injuries among the crowd. The ICWQC censured the Ministry of Magic heavily after the event, judging that security arrangements had been inadequate given the known existence of a violent pure-blood tendency in the United Kingdom. Royston Idlewind emerged briefly from retirement to give the following statement to the Daily Prophet: ‘A wand ban doesn’t look so stupid now, does it?’

Letters by owl were sent out to each student, and it has since been made clear (in the Daily Prophet) that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be pulling out from the return of the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Hogwarts Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, has offered an alternative and Barty Crouch Sr. has accepted the terms of this arrangement. This year, for the resurrection of the Tournament, it will not be three champions, but four. One student from each house may compete for, as Albus has previously stated, "Eternal glory." Tri-Wizard Champion. Well, Quad-Wizard Champion?

Lastly, students, Quidditch will not be taking place this year, as champions (if any from a house quidditch team get chosen) can't partake in both events.

She takes it figuratively and literally, Katlyn believes in just leaving someone alone or if they are sleeping to never bother them, if something is bothering them then she will keep her distance. But if they approach her then of course she'd help out in anyway possible that she can.

Jake looks like he could be a model. With his pristine robes, stylish glasses and unkempt hair, Jake has always been a popular guy. People just seem to gravitate towards him. He doesn’t work out, but looks athletic all the same. Jake obviously comes from money, everything in his appearance spells confidence and nothing came cheap.

Psychology

| Intelligent || Impatient || Charming || Manipulative |

General Characteristic Traits
Enthusiastic, charming and clever, Jake is good at almost anything he puts his mind to, and can make anyone laugh. He uses his charm to get what he wants and usually succeeds. His intelligence and willingness to learn makes him highly adaptable. He’s a fast thinker and fast talker, often able to get inside other people’s heads while discussing almost anything. Jake is capable of arguing multiple viewpoints of the same subject. This mental complexity is often misconstrued as being contradictory, superficial or unreliable. The price paid for his mental firepower is a relative lack of emotion and a very low tolerance for boredom. He thinks too much, and feels too little, which has some consequences in many aspects of his life.

I personally am waiting on Cliffspiracy for a seperate 1x1 as well, and they haven't shown up so I don't think they're coming.

I also would love to see this roleplay get off the ground, that being said I'm not GM so if you want to wait a bit longer by all means :)

Jacob seems great though, @Dutchess Sarah really well done :)

[Infamous Auror]

@Noxxis

I am going to be posting tonight or tomorrow. I have tomorrow off, and if I can get to bed by a decent hour tonight, I can wake up early and spend the morning making a huge starting post while my daughter still sleeps. Prayyyyyy she goes to bed when I need her to xD

@Dutchess Sarah

You can go ahead and post your character in the other tab, love. You never had to submit it for inspection. I'm not picky about how it's done with a small group RP ^^

@Nallore

I will also be posting for our 1x1 tomorrow. :] Glad you were able to join me in this adventure, as well, my friend!

[Noxxis]

Poor Jacob has to compete against a bunch of girls xD

@Noxxis almost thought of switching my character over to a boy just because of that xD

Okay, I got a late start to my day. Alarm didnt go off and my Daughter slept in till almost noon, and so did I xP I'll be starting to make the 0th IC post in an hour or so, then I'll make my own post. I gotta clean out my old rat cage for a feeder my dad bought for his snake that she didnt eat. I feel bad for the poor thing being stuck in a box, so ima tend to him first before I come back to this. Sorry for the delay, guys!

[Infamous Auror]

Had shit go down at my house last night. Was barely able to get the 0th post up. Stay tuned for my post, unless someone wants to go first. That'd be fine by me, ig you guys wanna get the ball rolling.
I plan to start out at home just after the World Cup, then maybe a bit of Train time, and finally the night prior to the drawing, then the drawing of the names itself.

[Noxxis]

@Infamous Aurorare we doing all that in our initial post?
