The room was a haphazard mess of articles taped to the windows, documents strewn in messy piles, coffee cups in various states of emptiness. There was something familiar about the mess, he always worked better in chaos, or as he liked to call it ‘organised’ chaos. He’d called a meeting with Kingsley, if felt awfully formal for them. There’d been a time when he would have simply barged into the other man’s quarters and spoken his mind freely, but it almost felt as though they were back to square one these days.

Alastor was the last person to judge a person by who their parents were- or had been. It had taken him months to trust Kingsley in those early days, not really because of who his father had been but rather because of his family name. He’d given the other auror a wide berth over the last couple of weeks. Part of him hoped that the stagnancy would shake the other man into answering that call to action that fuelled Alastor. With the vigil happening tomorrow, he found that their time was running out, they needed a plan. As he waited for the other man to join him, he began to sift through the latest correspondence they’d received from inside the ministry. More missing persons, more ‘random’ attacks. It was getting worse.

EVENT #01: CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

Dozens of candlesticks; some burned to the base, others never once kissed by flame. The Order found dozens of them in the homes they’d cleaned out. They were collected, tossed into bags, and left forgotten in a shed they’d repurposed to house their supplies, which at this point mostly consists of odds and ends found throughout Godric’s Hollow. Discarded by those who found them, it was Charity who saw purpose in the candles. Dark days had left them all feeling defeated, and many were desperate for even a brief glimpse of the light. Charity, along with Arthur who was overcome with grief for his missing wife, planned a candlelight vigil for their lost souls, missing and dead. It was meant to bring closure to those who needed it, and a renewed hope to those who weren’t done fighting yet. 

EVENT DETAILS: 

The event will last through April 26. 

Threads posted today through April 18 should be “pre-vigil.” Charity and Arthur would have just announced their intention to hold the vigil. Is your character helping Charity and Arthur plan at all? Do they plan to attend? Has the announcement forced any feelings to resurface? 

The vigil itself will be held beginning April 19. Threads at or during the vigil can be posted through April 26. 

EVENT 01: GRAD WEEK.

The school year is ending and Xavier’s Institute of Higher Learning would like to welcome back students young and old for a week of alumni festivities. Nicknamed Grad Week, the week celebrates those of us who are leaving to being a new adventure and those who have already left our hallowed halls.
