welcome to our little soiree:
After some preparation, the decorations were set, the menu was planned, and the date was set. Rodolphus Lestrange hosts a fancy dinner exclusively for the pureblood society to have some entertainment and also discuss their plan of action during these trying times. Despite some small issues here and there, the gathering goes extremely well and everyone gets to go home reassured that the Lestrange family will both protect the pureblood legacy and their identities of those who are involved in less than legal extracurricular activities (that part is, obviously, discussed by a selected group behind closed doors.) It has been a lovely evening, with delicious food, some catching up that had to be done, and filled with secrets and whispering walls - pretty much a classic pureblood banquet.
(The Lestrange’s dinner party is celebrated on October 14th - roleplay date. Everyone with strong ties to the pureblood families can attend, mostly Death Eaters and Death Eaters supporters or part of the elite true neutrals. Players can choose to post starters happening before, during, or after the dinner party)
The pureblood elite was distracted, and apparently the Order of the Phoenix didn’t waste any time. On October 15th, at around 5 am in the morning, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore called in an emergency meeting via Patronus Charm. All the members were surprised when they arrived to the secret location and found nothing less than Elphias Doge’s pensieve. Both Dumbledore and Alastor Moody managed to steal it from the Ministry’s special vault before any Death Eater could put their hands on it. The news haven’t exploded yet, but they will soon. The pensieve is going to be hidden and analysed by Dumbledore. Now all the Order members know about the note found at the office that revealed the existence of other spies.
(If any Order member would like to be a part of the Pensieve heist, message the main so I can accommodate their role in it. As mentioned before, all the Order members now know about the existence of the note that was hidden by the Ministry. Players can post starters both before and after the Order meeting for this particular plot point. They can also choose to reveal these news to anyone including Order supporters or neutrals.)
OOC PLOT POINTS, PROVIDED BY THE PLAYERS
( Some of this are public knowledge, some not so much. Contact the main or the respective players if you have any doubts. Feel free to use them however you wish to!)
quidditch season: Quidditch teams have already resumed their training! Get those brooms ready because they coaches need to make up for the lost time.
an extensive research: Septima Vector is currently writing a book, and she needs what any researcher would call a golden commodity - information. She’s willing to meet up with some unconventional people to get it! Please contact Septima’s player if you want to come up with a plot using this information.
we were on a break: Lily and James Potter have been apart since the tragic night of October 1981. However, many people have seen them being more than friendly towards each other in the middle of the Ministry Atrium. Are they back together? Are they not? They were in public, so ask them yourselves!
look what the cat dragged in: After many months of not showing his face, Peter Pettigrew has finally decided to go out for a change. He’s been seen in Diagon Alley, applying for random jobs. Maybe your character was there, maybe your character works at some of the shops he stopped by. Make sure to contact Peter’s player if you want to plot something using this information.
thicker than water: Narcissa and Bellatrix, Bellatrix and Narcissa. The sisters have always been inseparable, especially after Andromeda left the family. The Blacks are known to be extremely reserved, however, they have been seen fighting in public. Yes, scandal! In the middle of Ministry premises too! Will your character take advantage of this slip up? It’s up to you to decide!
