Summary: Deep within the Ministry of Magic lies the Department of Mysteries — and within that, the Animus Chamber.

When Harry gets recruited as an Unspeakable, he embarks on a quest into his ancestor’s memories, searching for a mystical weapon that could wreak havoc in the wrong hands.

What he does not expect to find inside the Animus, though, is a mentor, a companion, a friend and a lover — especially not all wrapped up in one prickly coworker whose true identity he can never know.

We have been loving seeing all of your amazing submissions! We are still working through them but one thing came up a couple times that we realized we never addressed. That’s on us, sorry!

For your fics, while we don’t need excessive tags or anything, there are a few at minimum we would like to see. At the least, please make sure you include “Drarry Let’s Play 2023”, the game your work is inspired by, and any relevant squicks or triggers. To your discretion a bit of info on content or other minor ships can be helpful for people to find your story.

To help, I’ll make another post with a little guide I’ve saved to give you ideas. Don’t feel like you need to add all of these but they can act as inspiration if (like me) you have no idea what tags to use.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out to us as we can assist you. For those that have already submitted, please go back and double check your tags to include the required ones as well as any additional you think would be helpful.

Thanks for working with us and being patient as we all figure this out together.

To get us in the mood, let’s play a game.

What video game do you think is best for our boys to be in?
