Bishop is moving!

Running multiple accounts in the same fandom is getting very tiring. It’s forcing me to leave some muses sort of stuck in the corner, so to speak, and I’ve decided I would rather have one dashboard per fandom or groups of fandoms. So! Some of my muses are getting shuffled around a bit.

Bishop will now be a sideblog to my Neville, @worth12malfoys. He will keep the same URL, so please refollow @cybersquib if you feel so inclined. (He’s also had some minor tweaks to his timeline and backstory, but nothing too groundbreaking.)

I will continue any threads that my partners wish to continue, and will keep checking notifications here for a few weeks. However, @-ing the new blog is greatly appreciated, just to be extra sure that I see it.

This post will be queued a few times. Feel free to unfollow here, as this is now just an archive.

CHARIS ( @thewrongsorts​ )

“More or less.” Topics to cover, in any case. Charis half-smiled again and thumbed over the papers appraisingly, and when she looked back up at him, the blue of her eyes had narrowed to a tiny band around blown pupils.

She’d learned, once, to control that; but it wasn’t worth the effort to hide what she was doing here, of course.

“Would you talk to me a bit about how you discovered this world, Mr. Samuel? It was through your daughter, yes?”

Bishop cleared his throat, intensely aware that this woman would know everything he was thinking. Sort of praying that he wouldn’t have any inappropriate sexual thoughts, he replied, “Yes. She... well, she was sending her toys across the room with just her hands. When we took her to the hospital, someone from the Ministry came to explain...”

He didn’t particularly feel like delving into the rest of that story, considering how it had ended, so he did his best to shy his thoughts away from it. Which went as well as could be expected. What happened when you tried your hardest not to think about something? “It’s been a few years now. Someone told me she’d go to a wizarding school... it had some silly name...”

Just the End of the World

GRISWOLD ( @darkwizrdcatcher​ )

“Digital copies,” he huffed. The whole thing was ridiculous. A lot of muggle nonsense. “For centuries parchment’s been good enough. There’s no reason to change. There are still plenty of quills and ink to be had. It’s not as though we’ve run out.”

Rolf yanked the file out of a stack and held it out for Bishop with an annoyed look. “Daft load of bollocks, if you ask me. Muggle rubbish coming in here. And don’t think I haven’t heard rumours about putting one of those infernal things in every office. You can tell whoever sent you I’ve got a list of suggestions for where they can shove their com-pew-tors.”

“People also went without indoor plumbing for centuries. That doesn’t mean we should keep doing our business outdoors. Which, I should mention, was also a Muggle invention.” That was often Bishop’s go-to for times like this. Most wizards simply didn’t want anything to do with his office, it seemed.

“Oh, believe me, sir, you... would not be my first choice to receive a computer.” He took the stack of paperwork from Rolf’s hand, thumbing through it to make sure it was complete. “Unless we want first hand evidence of what spells a computer can withstand before bursting into flame--” Deciding he should just stop talking now, he snapped his mouth shut. “...I think this is missing a signature.”

// I don’t know if I’ll actually make this change, because I don’t know if the years will work out (and that timeline took long enough to figure out as is), but like... what if Bishop wasn’t a baby when he was left with the Muggles for his own safety... what if he was like, seven, and his parents did a memory wipe to keep him safe... so sometimes he dreams about his childhood before his parents left him...

PANSY ( @thelovelymissparkinson​ )

Pansy’s hand felt small in the expanse of his and she smiled at him. “Mr. Bishop. a pleasure,” she replied with a smile. “Pansy Parkinson, fashionista extraordinare, but you could’ve read that on the shoppe’s sign outside. I studied fashion in the Muggle world after the war,” she continued on a breathy sigh. “Creative, lovely, extraordinary things you can do without magic. You’d be surprised.”

Their conversation was interrupted by a cute request and Pansy turned to watch the heartwarming sight of a father caring for his daughter. Her breath caught at the scene and she turned away, blinking back emotion. She found a pink velvet box and packed away the jewelry set he’d chosen for Nora. Hearing the girl stepping out of the dressing, she guided her to the small platform in front of the three way mirrors, generally reserved for brides. The magical mirrors, set to sound the age of the client, murmured praise for the girl, telling her how lovely she looked and how lucky she was to have found the right dress for her evening. Pansy took out her wand.

“We can arrange for magical fairy wings,” she offered, with a grin.

“Oh, you don’t need to convince me of that,” Bishop replied. “I know what the Muggle world has to offer. I wish more people could see that.”

As Nora beamed and blushed in front of the magic mirrors, her jaw dropped at Pansy’s suggestion, the minor issue of her long sleeves forgotten. “Really? I can have wings? Actual wings?”

“There you go, head to the dance as an actual fairy. You’l definitely turn some heads that way.” Bishop smiled.

Just the End of the World

@darkwizrdcatcher ( continued )

“It looks like the end of history as we know,” Rolf grumbled, digging through one of the cluttered bookshelves in his office. He’d had his fill of Ministry red tape for one lifetime and it seemed like they were only getting worse. Didn’t matter how serious the problem or how urgent it was, there was procedure to consider and committees to pass things by. It was maddening.

“It’s just the end of the world,” he said in a mocking tone.

“Paperwork dooms us all,” Bishop agreed silently, hanging back in the office doorway. Most of the Aurors intimidated him, but Griswold in particular seemed like someone it was safer to keep a respectful distance from. “I’m just trying to get digital copies of everything. Really, once you find it and confirm it’s all filled out correctly I can be out of your hair.”

PROFESSOR LIADON ( @volcelmo​ )

It was an innocent question that had been coming up frequently ever since Eldon ventured back into public eye. People were naturally curious, and either feared or welcomed the great unknowable future. Encountering someone who could answer these questions was a novelty even in the magical world. Bishop probably didn’t know that, so Eldon tried to reword his answers into something a Muggle could understand well. Magic was a foreign language to Bishop, just like technology was to Eldon.

“I could, if I wanted to. I usually prefer a quiet, comfortable setting though and mediate on my visions. The future is always shifting and changing. There are many possible futures out there, but I can determine the best possible outcome and then work my way to obtaining it. Uh, let’s see here. A good example would be a final exam. There are many possible outcomes to scoring on the test, but you have to work for the score you desire. I might see a future where I would score high on the exam, but I would have to put in the work by studying to get that score. Futures don’t always happen if you are lazy and don’t act on opportunities. No one can get perfect scores on exams by doing nothing to obtain it. Understand where I’m coming from?”

Bishop nodded slowly, still taking in the novelty of discussing fortune telling in such a practical manner. (He’d explain all this in fascination to Nora, but she of course would already know this. And she’d chosen not to take Divination, of all things...)

“I think so. Just because you see something doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed. So -- you could do the reverse, too? If you saw something that you wanted to avoid at all costs, you could manipulate events to avoid it?” With a pang of regret, his thoughts went straight back to his ex-fiancee, her face swimming through his mind before he forced her away again.

‘ i don’t trust anything. ’

     percy taps a cigarette on the back of his hand before sliding it between his lips. he offers one to bishop before lighting his own. “i don’t blame you,” he murmurs, sparing him a TIRED look – he’s been exhausted for the past year. “it must be… well,” he pauses, searching for the right words. “i couldn’t imagine having this whole world dropped upon your lap.” percy purses his lips together. “i believe our fathers were friends, mr. samuel.” he remembers the tragedy of the family historically, since he was too young to remember it as it happened. “you’ve come to the ministry in a very interesting time, but i assure you – you are surrounded by GOOD PEOPLE… and now you have a friend in the minister’s office.” he doesn’t smile; he’s forgotten how. “if you have any questions, please – ask away. i hope to earn your trust of this world.”

The remark about fathers takes a moment to really land. It’s so easy for him to forget that this isn’t just a strange world he’s happened upon one day -- this is his heritage. Had things just been a little different, he likely would have grown up knowing all of this. Hell, he may have grown up knowing this man -- was it Weasley? -- if what he said was really true...

“Well thank you,” he finally manages, accepting the cigarette to be polite but not smoking it. Instead, he fidgets with it between his fingers. “I’ll definitely keep that in mind. How... how welcoming are you of very stupid questions? Because I’m sure I’ll have a lot of those.”

// This is mostly for my own reference because I keep forgetting this shit: Bishop is three years older than the Golden Trio, the same age as Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Angelina Johnson.
