So far we've established:

Harry x Hermione & Draco x Luna

I'll be playing Hermione and Draco and you'll be playing Harry and Luna.

As far as a period to start, I'm fine with any place though I'd prefer something post-year four at the earliest. And from there I think we could easily have some AU / non-canon event happen if we wanted to push for an aggressive start on the shifting of alliances and dark tones. I'll just ramble off some random ideas/thoughts I have and you can add some of yours and we'll see what we both can come to an agreement about. Of course these will depend on how we want to start and see our characters evolve.

1. Incorporating Luna is probably going to be the tricky part, Draco could kidnap her in the summer between year six and seven. There he attempts to convert her to join the Death Eaters because despite her oddities, he sense she could have potential based on what he saw in year five and six.

2. I plan on playing Draco as someone coming into his own, breaking out of his father's shadow and trying to take initiative on his own. He'll be more manipulative, selfish, cunning etc.

3. Considering Ron isn't as needed, I would suggest killing his character off, either at the beginning of year seven or somewhere in the middle. I guess it depends on our plot and beginning.

4. I'll probably play Hermione was her usual intelligent self but one who's now seeing the big picture, in regards to her association with Harry has endangered her family and loves one, she'll perhaps slowly resent him for that, And if a character death comes into play, it would probably add to the tension.

5. I do honestly, see the majority of starting points happening during year seven when they're on the run. It's the most stressful time with the least amount of hope to be found.

6. An idea but could be a stretch, Draco could decide it's time for a new generation of evil and thus could take it upon himself to go and find the Horcuxes on his own so he can gain status by killing Voldemort himself and thus taking over as a new dark lord for a new generation. And so he can clean up his family name.

7. If we wanted, we could use Ron as an antagonist and use his betrayal or double agent status to add some drama to Harry x Hermione.

8. I'm not sure how you'd like to write Luna, as someone susceptible to Draco's threats or promises or someone who really could go either way in terms of changing alliances. I mean it's not like she was "totally" accepted in terms of Harry's group and she probably lacks a real solid reason to protect them, except perhaps her father. I could see her changing sides with or without persuasion.

I like the idea of shifting alliances and pushing for an aggressive start. I am thinking during the 7th year would be the best place to start. Here are my ideas based upon the list of suggestions you gave me.

1. I can seeing him kidnapping Luna when she first comes back to Hogwarts for her 7th year. Maybe on the train?

2. I like this idea as well. Maybe using this motivation as a reason for kidnapping Luna. He is using her to prove his value to the Dark Lord? Showing he can convert people? Just an idea

3. I liked the idea of killing Ron off until you mentioned him going to serve the Dark side, and I like that idea better.

4. With this tension between her and Harry, would it make her want to leave him? How would be keep them together if she resents him?

5. I think the 7th year is the perfect place to start, maybe right around the time Ron leave them? Or maybe a little before so we can get our roleplay going first. What do you think?

6. I think this point is the most interesting. I could see him deciding to do this later on in the role play. Let's say after Luna and Ron have converted to the Dark Side? He decides that he wants to become the Dark Lord and goes to take out Voldamort. This is an idea I would really like to explore

7. I think I like the idea of Ron turning to the dark side a lot better then just killing him off. I say this because it could be fun to bring him back in periodically just to reemphasize the tension of betrayal.

8. I am not sure how I am going to write Luna. I want to give her more substance then just this quirky girl who says random things that no one understands. However, placed in Draco's hands I could easily see her character developing into his evil queen. I could see her developing into a force to be reckoned with because she would do things most others would not. I could see her standing up to Draco rather then caving under his attacks.

Let's see here...

> Having Ron leave, either because he's finally seen that in dire times, he doesn't have as strong of a bond with Harry and Hermione as they used to, ex: he wants to keep his family safe and if he's with Harry he can't do that. He could go to the Dark Lord and convert in exchange for his family's safety and possible insights to what Harry and Hermione have been up to, in terms of progress and whereabouts.

> In any instance, he probably would be killed off at some point, so we might as well make him evil, or rather fed up with Harry.

> I wouldn't necessarily say Hermione would resent Harry, that's a strong word. But she could be growing more weary as there's no light at the end of the tunnel. She'd probably stay with him out of strained friendship and with Ron gone, perhaps out of guilt. If I have her harboring feelings for Harry, his interactions in the past with Cho and Ginny could probably boil over, depending how you write him in relation to Ginny.

> If we're starting before or when Ron leaves, we could have Draco x Luna at school, with him already planning to do something with her. The question is whether to kidnap her or not, as how he approaches her will probably dictate their relationship. If he approaches her with an offer with valid points, it may make her convert more smoothly than if he held his wand to her throat.

I think all those are great points and I agree with all of them.

I am probably gonna probably write Harry in with Ginny like they were in the books. They would have dated, he broke up with her, and then they kissed once again in her room before he left with Hermione and Ron. He is going to yearn for her a bit, but it will take a back burner. There will be so many other things on his mind that she will be easily forgotten.

Depending on his argument and the way he approaches her, I could see Luna coming willingly with Draco. It depends on the circumstances.

So this would start at the beginning of the 7th year, on the train. Also, we would start Harry, Hermione, and Ron off after they have ran off?

Alright.

Well if Draco approaches Luna in the beginning and trains her up some, we can start at the beginning. Let's say with Harry, Ron and Hermione just having escaped the wedding fiasco? Otherwise we could wait and start slightly further?

I think starting at the beginning sounds great! :) this way we can watch all the shifts happening before they actually do rather then just saying they happened

Okay, I'll try to get a post up tonight and hopefully it'll be kickass, if not, I'll edit accordingly.

As far as Ron, should we share him?

No rush! I won't be able to reply until tomorrow night or Monday anyway.

Sharing Ron sounds like the best idea

Been a while since I heard from you, saw you still active around and worried that the post I made wasn't what you had in mind. If it's not, I'm happy to change it so we can get this thing rolling. Or if you'd rather make your own intro, I'll ask to have the post deleted or something. ^^; I just wanna get a story going so we can keep up with it and maintain interest and motivation.

I'm getting even more concerned...I don't mind if it takes a week to get a post up but I'd like to know I'm waiting for something rather than nothing if you've suddenly decided this won't work out. :/

Okay well it would be nice if you told me what's bothering you or why you're not interested anymore but it's time I unsubscribe. If you talked to me about the issue, we could fix it and I'd be happy to try something else but I have little respect for people who stone face me. Best of luck in your endeavors online and off. *waves*
