Find the horcruxes

Spring, 1981. The world is burning, everything you know is going up in smoke. Ten years of war and still the wizarding world burns, the aura of terror that lingers in the air so thick that it permeates even the minds of muggles who don’t know what they’re running from. People dash down streets and pray they won’t be the next reported case of someone disappearing from a dark alley, but the list of the missing and the dead grows day by day, old names carved into tombstones without anyone left to carry them. mobile navigation

Violet or Constance?

Oh my goodness. As much as I’d love to see Violet Parkinson, I think Constance Corner is in higher demand right now.

CHAPTER 02: CLASH OF WILLS

Following the release of Alexander Church, those that felt wronged by this verdict and that corruption won out over justice inside the government decided to take things into their own hands. Protests of circumstances turned violent, the crowds became rabbles, and the first place they struck was The Cake Walk.

A bakery owned by Church, windows were shattered and walls caved as the place was set on fire, the building well on its way to destruction before aurors arrived on scene, customer Leila Al-Amin dead inside while the fervor of the attackers spread, innocent bystanders getting caught up in the fighting.

All of Diagon Alley was caught up in the frenzy and the trouble spread through Knockturn Alley as well, those inside The White Wyvern meeting with severe trouble. As a pub with a reputation for being kind of creatures, it has a rough atmosphere that can bring in an even rougher crowd. 

By the end of the night, both Mafalda Hopkirk and Xiomara Rojas were arrested - Hopkirk for smashing a bottle over someone’s head and Rojas for using an unknown spell to defend injured coworker Odette Vogel, who has been relocated to St. Mungo’s.

In retaliation for these assaults, radicals on the other side of the equation decided to take matters into their own hands and attack those they believe to truly deserve punishment. 

Those related to or known to be close associates of accused Death Eaters were targeted by the other side, Carrow Manor attached by a mob that was eventually restrained and the home of former Ministry Employee Barty Crouch was attacked as well. 

While there aren’t any known casualties so far from any of these targeted attacks, Delilah Carrow has disappeared from her flat amid the chaos and it’s suspected she’s fled for the safety of family in Kent.

Despite the auror presence sweeping the streets, the chaos is too widespread to be easily contained, both sides escalating and leaving the final damage caused by the riots to be in question.

Good evening, everyone! I’m about to take a shower and then probably curl up for some gaming, but I thought you’d all like to know that Chapter Two will start on Wednesday, which is also our acceptance day! Some of our most wanted characters right now are Walden MacNair, Gwenog Jones, and Griffin Reed, so why not check them out?

Just a quick note to say that after all the changes the group has gone through, I decided to put us through another one by simplifying the url. Upinsmoke-rp is now Smokehqs and I’ll be switching over the links in a minute. Let me know if I miss any!

CHAPTER 01: COURT OF OPINION

Alex Church has been freed.

Two weeks of testimony and the Wizengamot declared him innocent in a very narrow verdict that was met with fierce outrage. It’s no secret that Lucius Malfoy thought the man should be locked up, just like it isn’t a secret that Church is married to head auror Alastor Moody.

Writers from the Daily Prophet have started yelling out that bribery is at play, favors likely pulled in order to secure votes for Church’s freedom. Those close to the auror Department will recall that a death eater was found in their midst, that auror Valentina Nott was imprisoned and then released, while auror Kingsley Shacklebolt is conveniently absent thanks to a two week vacation.

Over a year ago, a bill was passed to allow the DMLE to use unforgivable curses in the line of duty. It’s been implied that the aurors have started using these spells for their own gain and The Daily Prophet is calling for the Wizengamot to submit themselves to testing while the Quibbler is accusing them of fear mongering.

Today Alexander Church was escorted from Ministry Premises premises not only by aurors, but by members of the Hitwizard section of the DMLE, Yuki Yamashita and trainee Patrick Finnegan. The protection was necessary, as crowds were waiting in the lobby, eager to jeer or defend, depending on which side they fell on.

Church was tried as a main, but released as a symbol. His freedom is being touted as a sign of Great Britain surrendering to outside influence, as government officials and their family not being held to the same rules, and our children’s safety being disregarded. 

The way was cleared for Church to exist the Ministry atrium via the floor network and for a brief moment as he was swallowed up in green flames, there was silence. 

That’s when the riots started.
