~ Things From My Harry Potter DR: What I've Done to Hogwarts ~ <3
These are things I have added to my script to make my script and DR more comprehensible, customizable, and all-around cooler.
~~
- Setting
I have set both my HP and Marauders DR in 2020 (but scripted there is no coronavirus), and I have turned them into an extended secondary private school.
- Years and Ages
Basically what that means is all wizard go to 'primary' schools that are littered across the wizarding world where they learn the essential core classes and basic magic, and then when they're 18 they are sent to their region's secondary school (Ex. Hogwarts, Beaxubatons, Durmstrang, etc).
This secondary school (ages 18 (1st years) to 25 (7th years)) is basically where they 'hone their practice' and can choose from a wide range of electives (as well as some essentials) to fashion their schedule to their preferences.
- Core Classes
'Core Classes': History of Magic (6 years of it), Defense Against the Dark Arts (7 Years), Herbology (2 years) (Which you have to take 2 years of to be able to take your Potions classes), and Potions (5 years).
- Electives
Magic classes I've made electives:
Astronomy
Transfiguration
Charms
Divination
Muggle Studies
Ancient Studies
Ancient Runes
Ghoul Studies
Flying (Required if you are on the quidditch team)

Misc. Extracurriculars: Choir, Driver's Ed, Jazz Band, School Newspaper, Student Council, Yearbook
- Houses
Other houses are allowed in other houses dormitories and common rooms.
- Dormitories
All dorms are co-ed and accepting of all genders, not just female and male.
I have scripted that dorm rooms are bigger on the inside and function by stepping into one, small, communal lounging space connected to 5 medium-sized bedrooms.
Each of these bedrooms has a closet; a bookshelf; a desk and a double bed with two bedside tables. Thereās a wardrobe with 7 house uniforms in it. When you place clothes in this wardrobe and shut the door, they will be clean and wrinkle-free when you open the door again.
- Common Rooms
Every common room has a 'toiletry' closet. Inside are:
Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss
Hand soap and hand santizer
Toilet Paper
Paper Towels and Tissues
Razors
Blankets and sheets
Towels
Hand clothes
Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
Soap bars
Pads and Tampons
First Aid Essentials
Every common room has a 'stationery' closet. Inside are all of the supplies you would need for school, such as:
Parchment
Ink
Quills
Pens and Pencils
Erasers
Lined paper
Binders
Folders
Staplers and stapler removers
Tape
White out
A working/hooked up Printer
and art supplies like:
Paint
Colored pencils
Markers
Sharpies
Crayons
Oil pastels
Drawing paper and pencils
Non-lined paper
Canvases
Common rooms are where the houses host parties, both staff approved and hidden from staff š
A small platform and a microphone for karaoke night.
A bookshelf full of card and board games that anyone can use. These are always returned in pristine condition.
(I will reblog with more as I add more to my script)
~ Things I Add to My Script to Make My Life Easier, Part Two: Harry Potter DR Edition ~ <3
This is a list of things I add to my scripts to make my Harry Potter DR life easier. (These could also apply to any dr within the Harry Potter universe: Ex. FBAWTFT, Cursed Child Era, Marauders Era)
~~
- Setting
What I script: "The plot of Harry Potter will follow the plot of the books, except it takes place in 2020, there is no coronavirus and Voldemort died in the first war."
This is a big one for me because both my HP and Marauders DRs are modernized, aged up, and I've gotten rid of Voldemort. This sounds like a lot of work but luckily I have done it for you and am willing to share my scripts if you're interested.
Of course, the setting will be to your preference so if you want it to be a canonical timeline, with Voldemort, then disregard this section. <3
- Clothing
What I script: "I have all my clothes in a trunk at the end of the bed. Only I can open this trunk. The clothes in this trunk always fit me and I always look good in them. The clothing are [insert dr style]."
In the first part I mentioned the closet I usually script but since we're at Hogwarts, they have trunks and wardrobes for their clothing, not closets.
Once again, if you're changing the dorms of your dr to have a closet, then you can disregard this section. <3
- Dorms
What I script: "Dorm rooms are bigger on the inside and function by stepping into one, small, communal lounging space connected to 5 medium-sized bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms has a closet; a bookshelf; a desk and a double bed with two bedside tables. Thereās a wardrobe with 7 [house] uniforms in it. When you place clothes in this wardrobe and shut the door, they will be clean and wrinkle-free when you open the door again."
This is one of my essentials because I don't want to have to share a room with four other people.
- The Suitcase
Now, what is the suitcase exactly... if you've ever watched Fantastic Beasts then you will know about Newt Scamander's infamous suitcase of animals. Well, this is a twist on that, only instead of stepping into a zoo you step into an apartment styled to your liking!
What I script: "I have a suitcase that I have put under my bed that looks like a normal suitcase on the outside but is much larger on the inside. Inside is a studio apartment furnished to my liking. This apartment never runs out of water or electricity. Itās stocked with my favorite foods and drinks and is always the perfect temperature. I am the only one who can open this suitcase. I can always change this apartment just by saying simple commands out loud like āchange to modern decorā or āadd 2 more bedroomsā or āadd another chair to the dining tableā."
- Your Magic Ability
What I script: "I am a fast learner and extremely talented wizard. I excel at school and school and homework is easy to me. Enchantment of objects and things is my speciality. I am also very skilled in wandless magic and rarely actually need my wand or to say words to perform magic. I am particularly skilled in wandless telekinesis."
Now this is obviously very altered to fit my preferences the kind of magic I am interested in in my DR, so you can change this and switch out the specialities to better fit you and your DR. Also, this is where I would add in that I'm an animagus or a werewolf/veela/etc, if that's something you want in your DR.
- Plot Points
Here are some details I've added to my DR, to fit my own preferences, that you might want to pick and choose from!
Remus stays the DADA teacher even after the events of Prisoner of Azkaban and Dumbledore works to make sure he keeps the position.
Dolores comes to 'watch over' Hogwarts after the ministry finds out about Remus's lycanthropy, and she is appointed the position of Vice Headmaster.
There is a Triwizard Tournament every three years, but no one ever dies from it and they're actually quite fun.
Yule Balls are annual and take place the week before we leave for December Vacation.
On Halloween there is a competition to see who can come up with the coolest, most creative, or most elaborate Halloween costumes. There are prizes, a dance, and the house elves always put your favorite candy/treat on your bedside table the morning of so you can start your day outright.
There are many extracurriculars, including magical and non-magical extracurriculars. [This is where you list off any sports, clubs, or otherwise you would want the school to have.]
- 'Cheats'
I cannot die and I have a high pain tolerance.
If someone forces me to tell them the truth, in any manner, nothing about my Original Reality or shifting comes out of my mouth.
There is no Voldemort.
I am immune to diseases, infections, and poison.
I cannot break any bones.
There is no homophobia, racism, or transphobia and people arenāt against polyamorous relationships.
~ Things I Add to My Script to Make My Life Easier ~ <3
This is a list of things I add to my scripts to make my DR life easier. This will most likely be a part one because I have so many more.
~~
- My wallet.
What I script: "My wallet is located on my bedside table. Inside is an endless supply of 20 dollar bills. Every time I close my wallet and open it again, 5 more 20 dollar bills show up in the wallet. My wallet never gets stolen."
This is one of my essentials. I script the basics of this in every one of my DRs, though sometimes it'll be a coin pouch or safe/lockbox, depending on the DR.
- Friend Box
What I script: "There's a box under my bed full of notebooks. Each notebook has the name of one of my friends/family on it. In the corresponding notebook is all for their: Likes and dislikes (As well as their favorites), hobbies, allergies, other important information and memories (such as phone numbers, addresses, and birthdays), a picture of them attached to the back cover by a paper clip.
This is great for if you are shifting to a DR with prior relationships. Say you're shifting to a dr where you're already friends/in a relationship with your comfort character(s), then this will be great so you can read up on what you've missed and you know all of the information you would have known if you had been in that dr your whole life. This way you don't forget/miss out on important birthdays, inside jokes, core memories, and other things built through relationships.
- My Closet
What I script: "In my closet I have as many clothes as I can fit. The style of my clothing is [insert DR style]."
This is so I don't have to manually download pictures of the style i'm thinking of off of Pinterest, then insert into my script, then fix the sizing, yadayadayada. This is just way easier, especially if you're writing your script on paper, not typing it up. I do suggest keeping a Pinterest board of the clothing styles, though, for better visualization.
- Tattoos
I always script I have these three tattoos:
A ring on my left thumb that turns red when the person Iām talking to is thinking about having sex with me, orange when I'm talking to someone who loves me romantically, yellow when they like me romantically, green when they have a neutral opinion of me, blue when they dislike me, and purple when they hate me. Only I can see this tattoo.
A simple watch tattoo on my wrist that only I can see that changes with the time of my Original Reality.
A dragon thatās tail begins at my sternum and then curls up on top of my collarbone and then the dragon wraps around my throat and up the right side of my neck, itās face just below my left ear like itās whispering to me. This tattoo translates any language Iām listening to into english and translates my words into any language, accent or impression I want to speak.
The first one is because I'm nosy, the second so I can watch the time in my Original Reality and feel more connected too it, and the third so I can speak any language that my comfort characters can speak (and also so I can do funny impressions).
- 'Cheats'
Now I like to call these cheats because I'm a videogame nerd and they remind me of like adding cheats to your game but here are some of my cheats that go in almost all of my DRs.
I have perfect aim and can identify and use any weapon put in front of me.
I cannot die and I have a high pain tolerance.
If someone forces me to tell them the truth, in any manner, nothing about my Original Reality or shifting comes out of my mouth.
I am immune to diseases, infections, and poison.
I cannot break any bones.
I will not develop attachment issues to my DR.
Any events that take place in my DR will have no lasting emotional effects on me.
I cannot get arrested.
I never slip, fall or trip while running.
I will remember everything and everyone when I shift back to my Original Reality.
I donāt sunburn or tan.
Snot never comes out of my nose when I am sneezing/crying.
My breath is always minty fresh.
My skin is always clean and clear of acne or blemishes.
I have no gag reflex
My feet don't stink, ever.
I never get earwax
I look good in all haircuts and hair colors.
I look good in all clothes and shoes, and they are always comfortable and fit me well. They do not rip, stain or burn.
Blood/death/stitches/burns/injuries do not gross me out and I handle seeing them very well.
~~
I hope these were helpful, and I think I might do a part two because I have way more, even some specific ones for certain DRs/universes.
