Hey folks. Admin team here to say... We’re making a couple of changes. We understand the plot has been really vague and it’s been hard to develop your characters. For the time being, we’ll be revamping to a regular city rp still in the realm of Harry Potter. You may keep the same characters or drop/start anew. The story is staying predominately the same and we’ll be working on a full blown revamped plot in a little bit. The short gist is; 

Ardere is a city similar to London, England except it’s all wizards. 

There’s a secret entrance through London to get to Ardere (more on this later.) No muggles can see Ardere. 

Your characters can reside in London or Ardere, be from anywhere in the world and as of right now they can freely travel easily between London and Ardere. 

In Ardere there will be an array of shops and pubs, general fun things. So if your character would like to own a shop, please let the main know! Just for aesthetic purposes, there’s no limit to show many shops and things there’ll be in Ardere. 

There is underlying rumours of corruption in the ministry, some people don’t believe Hermione Granger is being completely honest. There is talk of a certain Edwin Dankworth who is very slowly rising to power. However at this point, it’s only talk. Whether your characters support the ministry or Dankworth can also be changed at any time. 

This revamping is already in the works and I’m going to be updating the plot & slowly working on locations before I post the festival event tonight. 

The festival is staying the same minus the treaty with Dankworth, he hasn’t done anything of value and the ministry is denying his importance! 

Now we understand this is a change and we hope it’s okay with all of you, but please let us know if that changes your decision to stay in the roleplay. Later today we’ll be posting an official event drop announcement, which will be the festival. Most of the roleplay is staying the same, we’re just adding in more information. 

Feel free to reach out and chat with either of us admins (L & Mar) if you need more information or anything of the sort. We love you all, we really do.

The festival was a success, Ignis was coming to an end and in a short 12 hours, it’d be over. The last night was the most fun night, some people only came to spend the last night. Ignis was a haven for witches and wizards of england, and today would be the last day they could consider it so. 

Beneath the laughter and freedom, an infiltration was happening. During Hermione Granger’s speech, there was rays of light, and fireballs being thrown. Ardere was lit, their beloved town hall, going up in flames as people looked around to see who had caused such a horror. The wizarding world wasn’t used to any attacks, nothing bad had happened since the days of Lord Voldemort. 

This attack was planned, as the ministry workers were first to be targeted. Several heads of security were missing and worst of all.. When the world needed her most, Hermione Granger was nowhere to be found. Panic ensued as everyone began to look for their friends and family and found a few individuals to get the worst of the attack. 

The aurors were scouring the areas to find who did the attack and how they appeared to be unseen, but no one was focusing on the big issues. 

The hoard of muggles that were standing there with phones and cameras. 

The Wizarding World had been discovered and this was an incident too big for them to be able to erase. 

-----------------------------------------------------

Heyo! Our first plot drop!! So tldr; the wizarding world is discovered and a few people were hurt (message us to let us know if you’d like your chara to be hurt!!) 

Hermione Granger is missing as well as most of the other important ministry workers. Mostly just random NPC, Harry & Ron and the gang are still okay. 

The characters that were hurt can be utp how much they were hurt and where they were when the attack was happening. They’re being flown into St Mungo’s to be checked out. 

Venturing into the muggle world is not forbidden but it is a scary time and wizards are actively working on erasing the muggles of their memories. The general public has been erased but there are muggles who know. 

The muggles were behind the attack, so the wizarding community is in active danger but some random pedestrian in london won’t figure it out. 

Anyone who was in attendance at the festival is not allowed to leave England (in our case they must reside in London or Ardere).

Hogwarts is cancelled :(

Ardere’s wards are back in working condition and there is a constant auror watch happening. 

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to message us! And let us know if your character gets hurt!

CHARACTERS THAT ARE HURT: 5/10

Teddy Lupin

Victoire Weasley

Eugénie Parkinson 

Summer Westwood

Hey guys! We just wanted to make a quick update about the use of technology within our Wizarding World. As we all know, it is the year 2026 within the roleplay meaning the Wizarding World has finally caught up with the times and wixes have figured out a way to integrate technology and social media into their lives.

When using social media, there are both Muggle Networks and Wizard Networks. The Muggle Networks ( such as Instagram ) are monitored by the Ministry to ensure there are no breeches but the Wizarding Networks such as Wizstagram all have anti-Muggle wards so wixes are able to post to their magical hearts desires. All Muggle social networking sites have a magical equivalent.

We are also adding a NEW TAG which is to be used when posting text message starters, to ensure the official starter tag doesn’t get clogged with text messages. The new tag is ARDERETEXTS so please track it and use it when posting text messages!

Hello!! I’m back for my very busy weekend, honestly it was a lot of fun and a much needed social media plug off! Our first event has officially ended and please bear with us while we really quickly put together a plot drop. If you’d like your character to be involved in an attack (at this point, only people getting hurt no one who was attacking**), please message the main!!

Earlier in the evening we were informed of one of our players receiving a very rude hate message. I would like to inform everyone that this is simply an online roleplay. We are on here to write with people like us and that’s it. We love and appreciate each other. Please to the person who wrote those messages, if you’re reading this... Just take a deep breath and relax. Think about your actions having consequences. This is just for fun. Do not bully people on the internet please!!

To all our lovely players, we love each and every one of you, new and old. Please come forward if you have anything at all to talk to us about. The situation saddened me a little, our roleplay is still brand new and we just don’t think now is the time to spread hatred, only love. Keep on loving, friends. Hope everyone has a good week.
