Four friends from different Hogwarts Houses connected in their first year.
They bonded over their love of magic, the idea that they could create anything they could imagine. They had their share of fights and times where they grew apart due to school or drama. They still remained close enough to hang out during the breaks when school was out. They still remained close enough to support one another’s endeavors and give advice when it was warranted. These four friends have graduated Hogwarts and have found their own path to take. While they have written and visited, these connections are becoming more and sparser.
But an event is about to pull them back together.
Whether they reside in the Muggle or Magical World, things are changing for the worse. The economy is taking a dive and everyone is losing their job. The rate of homelessness is jumping while the rate of happiness is on the decline. People don’t know why their luck is taking a dive, it just seemed as though a gray cloud is hanging over the world, as if everything good is slowly fading away.
As people struggle to make ends meet, the crime rate begins to rise and the streets are becoming unsafe for even those who carry wands or muggle weapons.
These four friends cross paths one way or another and decide to get to the bottom of this negative mood which is beginning to suffocate the world. Little do they know that the one behind these emotional manipulations has a foot in both the Muggle and Wizarding World. Their gain is yet unknown but if something isn’t done soon, if someone doesn’t start to investigate these troubling times, society could be thrown into a black hole where rules and order are a thing of the past.
Some general guidelines for anyone interested would be that you shouldn’t sink into the typical expectations that the Houses established (ex: if you’re from Slytherin, you don’t have to be a sneaky evil back stabber). Yes, your character should fall into the House but it shouldn’t be the cliché that first pops into your head. Your character should be well balanced and also useful when it comes to mysteries. If they want to solve this puzzle, they need to be useful and bring something to the group. And one last thought, these are long lasting bonds we’ve established, it’s natural to grow apart and have things you dislike about another character, but this dynamic needs to be friendly to reflect the background they have shared.
So this will be a dark (not too dark) mystery set in the world of Harry Potter. If you’re wondering about a time or era, I’m not sure yet. I don’t really want it to be modern but it’s fine if that’s where the majority are comfortable. I don’t want to deal with canon roles or events so if this is set in the 1990s, Voldemort will pretty much be taken out of the world. He’s got nothing to do with this.
Anyone up for this? Obviously three slots are open, I'll take whatever is up for grabs I suppose. If someone happens to like doubling, I can turn this into a one on one pretty easily.
