I can't believe this news.
Fight back, I guess. Apparently nothing else we do can work…
We can't just fight back without any sort of plan. I'm sure that they plotted the worst thing that they could do to us for months. I'm sure that they've been working on his murder since You Know Who was killed. They probably have their next steps all planned out, Remus. Walking in blind would get us all killed.
Here we go again...
Perhaps.
Something needs to be done. It’s obvious they will just keep coming back otherwise. It’s disconcerting. Just when everyone is trying to get their life back on track.
I'm honestly not sure if any of us will really be able to get our lives back on track until we know that we are legitimately safe. There are still so many threats to us out there.
I can't believe this news.
What are we supposed to do now?
Here we go again...
It was foolish to think they wouldn’t react. Though I didn’t think the Order would reform.
At times it feels like I’m living out one of my brother’s comic books.
I had hoped that everything was over, but the Ministry hasn't exactly been good about catching all of You Know Who's followers. I think that we really should have anticipated this happening sooner. Maybe Diagon Alley wouldn't have been destroyed if we had reacted earlier
Activity Check II
How did your character deal with the reconstruction of the magical world? What did they do to try to make things feel normal again after an intense war?
During the war, Marlene McKinnon was so incredibly passionate about the Order, so much so that almost all of the major decisions in her life post-Hogwarts were guided by her desire to further the cause. She took a position at Madam Puddifoot’s to pay her bills, a job that allowed her to be easily replaceable, and she tried her hardest to avoid any sort of entanglement that would force someone she cared for to be hurt by her choices. Marlene was fully prepared to die for the cause, but that was only until she spotted that cottage with the bright red door in Hogsmeade. Unfortunately, this one source of hope was destroyed by Death Eaters less than a week before Voldemort’s death, which resulted in the end of the war.
Marlene was very surprised to see that she not only lasted through the war, but through a traumatic house fire, as well. Having nowhere to live now, she spent most of the reconstruction period living at her brother’s apartment. She spent a great deal of time trying to be strong for her brother, pretending like nothing happened. Like she didn’t keep her wand concealed and on her at all times. Like she wasn’t terrified that she could potentially be bringing danger into the home that he welcomed her into. Like she didn’t have nightmares that caused her to wake up choking for air. Of course, all of this stress was made noticeable by the sheer amount of baking that she did to cope with her anxiety.
A true sense of normalcy has not returned for Marlene, even though she’s returned to her job and her newly rebuilt house. She feels the most normal when she’s taking her cheering and sleeping potions, as they help her cope with the intense anxiety due to the fact that the wizards responsible for the destruction of her house are still at large. She is still terrified that they will come back for her to finish her off. Marlene is convinced that the only way for things to truly go back to normal for her is if they are all locked up in Azkaban.
I should probably start looking for a job...
One that doesn’t involve Law Enforcement, this time.
That's probably for the best. I can put in a good word for you with Madam Puddifoot if you'd like. Hogsmeade Weekends at the shop might be absolutely awful, but it's almost summer, so the students will be going home soon.
So close to summer...
Which means the new Quidditch season is all systems go. Beat back those Bludgers, Boys, and chuck that Quaffle here!!
I honestly don't see the fascination with the sport. I tried to enjoy the games back at Hogwarts, but they were so long, and there were far too many balls to keep track of. At least the after parties were enjoyable.
ooc: you're such a bitch.
I'm truly sorry that you feel this way, Anon. I'm not sure what I've done to offend you out of character or as an admin, but I can honestly say that I did not mean for whatever I did to come off as offensive, and that I truly think the world of everyone that is/has been at Dig Up Her Bones.
This comment makes me sad that I've done something so hurtful that you're unwilling to approach me off anonymous to discuss whatever I've done to you so we can try to rectify the situation, and for that I'm incredibly sorry.
That’s ridiculous. I don’t wear make up and even magical lipstick isn’t enough to replicate Black Family Cheekbones.
What would have been even more ridiculous is doing it on Easter or Halloween. The dead apparently walk the earth on both of those days.
Muggle cosmetics could probably do something. Muggles use it to make people look like other things in their moving pictures.
So, apparently, some of you haven’t realized this yet so I thought I’d update.
I really am not dead. You would think alerting people to this fact April First would be memorable but apparently not. Mostly just stop asking if I’m an Inferius.
I think that's mostly due to your timing. You know, with your announcement being on April Fools and all. They probably thought that you were some disturbed bloke in makeup.
what do you think about what your brother did during the war?
Marcus did plenty of things in the war that I wasn't exactly thrilled with. Like when he decided to join the Order. I was absolutely livid! I didn't like the idea of him going on dangerous missions where he could have potentially died. I didn't like the fact that he could have possibly become a Death Eater target, especially after what happened with my cottage in the fall. I wanted Marcus to be able to enjoy the remaining years of his youth, unlike me.
However, Marcus did prove to be an incredibly valuable part of the Order. I suppose that's due to the fact that he's stupidly brave, but that's just the Gryffindor in him.
Are you a natural blonde?
I use plenty of products in my hair to make it look presentable, but dye is not one of them. I have always been, and will always be a blonde.
Sirius said you make some AWESOME special brownies. Can you make me some, too?
All of my baked goods are special. It’s because I put so much time and effort into them. Also, I make them the muggle way. I think that’s the main difference from my brownies and the ones you find in most wizard bakeries, and that’s what makes them so special.
Have you ever considered running your own baking business?
I hadn’t really given my future much thought until recently, but I do think that it would be wonderful to own my own bakery. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a shop that sells baked goods for all occasions? I could just imagine it now! It would be full of birthday bundts, mitigation muffins, and everything in between!
I've been working with Gideon to help make this happen. Maybe one day I'll actually be able to open my own shop.
I've been thinking...
Nahh… We’d leave him there until he crashed from his sugar high. I learned that one the hard way with Pete and Sirius many years ago… Give him all the cookies you want, it’s all fine and dandy to me.
Speaking of Sir Gideon…. When you kill him, can I watch?
You might leave him with me during the sugar high, but he's still going to leave with an armful of new toys. Just imagine all of the clutter from all of the gifts. Horrifying, isn't it?
What did Gideon do this time?
I've been thinking...
Really, now? Crazy Auntie Marlene and little Harry? I don’t know who’s worse off in that situation.
I think that little Harry's parents are probably the worst off in that situation. After all, it's not like he can come to Auntie Marlene's house without her spoiling him terribly and feeding him heaps of baked goods.
Besides, if I can handle Gideon, then I can certainly handle a toddler.
