#dl plot drop

𝐇𝐎𝐆𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍.

The battle was a decision of the collective, or rather, a forced attack by the more foolhardy among the Order. It was the first which wasn’t a directive of Albus Dumbledore himself, the first which break a chain of command so carefully put in place. 

( THERE HAD ALREADY BEEN MURMURINGS AMONGST THE FOUNDING MEMBERS : these young recruits were going to be hard to handle. )

Among the dead are DEDALUS DIGGLE and ELPHIAS DOGE, dying as heroes often do with their bodies left to be claimed by the masked Knights of Walpurgis. Drawing blood and away the shrouds of anonymity lie the bodies of MORTIMER MULCIBER and ROSALINE WILKES, a somewhat hollow victory for the side of the Order. More questions, and more left hidden in their cowardice and prejudice. Injuries stack, a steadily filling infirmary kept safe in the Order’s current Headquarters while the rest attempt to flee what they had sought to protect.

As signal for retreat flickered through pure light, the groups fractured further while some were lost among the chaos. 

HESTIA JONES with GIDEON PREWETT, last seen near Dumbledore’s former office. SIRIUS BLACK, last seen near the dungeons, locked in a fierce battle with a slight, hooded figure.  The three left behind as another marking of failure as night bleeds into morning. 

( SEVERUS SNAPE, a shadow stolen beneath the menacing branches of the Whomping Willow as spell’s light rained down upon the castle’s midnight grounds, garnering less recognition. )

HOGWARTS HAS HOUSED ILL - INTENT IN THE PAST, THOUGH NEVER HAS IT BEEN KEPT LIKE A SPOIL OF WAR.

It sits now, fortified walls housing the most dangerous wizard the world has ever seen. A glaring signal of failure to those recovering among the scattered remains of the Order.

( DUMBLEDORE’S SILENCE, HELD HOLLOW IN THE BELLY OF THE MINISTRY, IS DEAFENING. )

Thoughts shy away from those still missing, whose bodies could be just another piece claimed, more shrouded heroes to mourn. Those that are left collect themselves, in some cases each other, in the hopes of recovering from this blow. 

THE STORY BEGINS HERE, written in the wreckage.

𝐌𝐎𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒.

We pick up in the immediate aftermath of the battle, with the Order fragmented and left for the first time without the guiding, knowing hand of now - Minister Dumbledore. 

Please feel free to plot through the following : was your character supportive of the strike against Voldemort and his followers ? What role did they play within the battle ? What state are they in now : emotionally, physically ? 

Who among the surviving did they first connect to ? Who are they looking for ?
