Itās a sunny day in Diagon Alley. With all the students back at school for the summer term, everyone else is enjoying the weather while they can, keeping Death Eaters far from their minds... until they come knocking at their doors. With a flash and a few bangs, the narrow street descends into darkness. The streets of Diagon Alley are suddenly bathed in a ghastly emerald glow as a Dark Mark crowds the sky. Windows are shattered and there are a few screams to get inside before shops are locked down.
Since the attack on Hogsmeade, many security measures have been put in place in highly populated wizarding areas, Diagon Alley included. When buttons are pressed, shutters come down, doors are bolted and protective spells are activated. There is no way to get in or out until the lockdown is reversed. This doesnāt stop the Death Eaters from causing havoc outside. Aurors and hit wizards are called to the scene while residents and shoppers alike hide inside, cowering in fear or fighting to get out...
In celebration of five years of SDHQ, we are bringing the drama !!
This event is a lockdown of Diagon Alley that will start on 13th of May at 12 noon GMT and end on 27th of May at the same time.
In three days time, we will release a list of everyone who is locked down in Diagon Alley and where they are as well as the aurors and hit wizards involved in defending the street outside. If you have a muse who currently works or lives in Diagon Alley, we will automatically assume that they are locked down where they work or live. We ask that everyone else who has a muse theyād like in the lockdown, message the main with their name and the shop/location they are locked down in and same goes for if you have a muse who works there you donāt want involved in the lockdown. Regarding aurors and hit wizards, we will also assume that most if not all fully trained ones are involved unless told otherwise. Those in training will need to message the main. And, of course, everyone outside of the lockdown can be involved in the event via text and call threads.
Please use the tag #sdhqlockdown for your starters, not #sdhqevent as this is for admin use only. As this is something for everyone to be involved in in one way or another, we do ask that any non event threads be put on hold so there is no need for this tag.
