She ran the feather of the now useless acid green quill across her lips out of habit, a slight wrinkle forming between her eyes as she frowned. Rita didn’t mind being without her magic as much as she had imagined, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t without it’s drawbacks. She’d tried to Apparate, and when that hadn’t worked, attempted to transform into the small beetle and fly but that hadn’t worked, either. So she’d had to resort to muggle transportation all to get a cup of coffee, and it left her particularly frustrated. Glaring at her mug, wishing she could conjure up some whiskey to add to it after her ordeal, she let out an angry sigh that was more of a growl and slammed her annoyingly blank notebook closed, the resulting bang on the tabletop resounding through the small café. Catching eyes on her, she turned her gaze and took a moment to put on a sweet smile. “Sorry.” She said gently, voice suddenly soft as she ignored her former actions.

a flash, a bang.... silence

Only those closest to the Ministry were able to see it firsthand, but the repercussions were felt across all of the wizarding community.

No one was sure how it happened - not even the Unspeakables who had been assigned the task. They had warned him; told the Dark Lord with shaking voices that what he asked was dangerous, maybe impossible, even for the Department of Mysteries, but he insisted: take away their magic.

He'd intended to only take it away from those he deemed unworthy. But something went wrong. Very, very wrong; and across the country, purebloods, halfbloods and muggleborns alike found their magic sputtering and dying.

Voldemort had only created more of that which he sought to get rid of.

Under the cut will be all of the OOC information you need.

During this event, no magic at all will be available to your character. This includes everything from spells and potions to magical objects, apparition, and paintings! If we don’t have it in the muggle world, neither do they. Since this is meant to be solely for a bit of fun, no one knows why this has happened, including Death Eaters, but are of course free to speculate as much and as wildly as you want.

This event will run from April 21st until May 4th. Of course you may continue threads from the event after it ends, but please do not post any new starters after the 4th.

Please remember to tag any open starters with apr starter

APPLEBY ARROWS v. BALLYCASTLE BATS CHARITY MATCH pt. 2/2

The crowd burst into cheers as the Ballycastle Bats seeker caught the snitch, ending the match with a score of 250, beating out the Appleby Arrows.

The excitement quickly turned to fear, as spells began flying through the air, the stands crumbling around as people scrambled to exit the stadium. No one knows for certain who threw the hex that started the battle, but witnesses swear they saw Marlene McKinnon get into a heated argument only seconds before the stands began falling.

Many people were able to make it out safe and sound, but many people chose to stay to help protect innocent bystanders and attempt to de-escalate the situation that very quickly got out of hand. Hours passed and eventually, the battle fizzled out, leaving a few injured, but no deaths reported.

All of the OOC info you need will be under the cut!

APPLEBY ARROWS v. BALLYCASTLE BATS CHARITY MATCH pt. 1/2

There has been a massive spike in cases of Dragon Pox recently, and St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries has been begging for donations to support research on how to reduce these numbers, and make the disease more tolerable for those suffering.

The British and Irish Quidditch league has banded together to put on a charity match in support of this cause. Appleby Arrows and Ballycastle Bats will play against each other on the evening of January 17th, 1982. The game itself is entirely free, however, any sales made from merchandise, food, and drinks will be donated to St Mungo’s. Donation boxes will also be placed around the stadium for anybody looking to simply give cash.

So, please, come on down and enjoy this free game!

All of the OOC information you need will be under the cut!
