Opening events can sometimes be intimidating and restricting, at least, that’s what we admins have come to realize over the years we’ve spent writing. This is why instead, we’ve decided to release our very own personalized starter meme ! This is by no means mandatory, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with an open starter on your own, so we hope by starting with this, it’ll encourage interactions between everyone and help in giving our group that ‘old’ nostalgic feel of easy, short starters to get to really know our characters ! So, feel free to reblog this, but again, it’s certainly not mandatory! 

While we are not yet open for interactions, you can start reblogging this and sending the memes out to people, but please wait to post any open/closed starters or you can  simply use this as an inspiration to work on an open starter. 

❝ There’s just one problem. All magic comes with a price. ❞

❝ I don’t understand why magic can’t fix this. ❞

❝ I don’t remember all the crazy stuff you told me. ❞

❝ I will always find you. ❞

❝ Sweetie, it’s four o'clock in the morning, what are you doing? ❞

❝ How am I? Are you kidding? Do you guys not get the news up there? ❞

❝ What the hell is the matter with you?! ❞

❝ I’m angry, um, I’m confused, and you know what, this, this is just crazy! ❞

❝ It’s kind of hard to heal myself when I’m knocked out. ❞

❝ Three years together, and now you’re asking these questions? ❞

❝ I’m working up a new potion. it’s for the greater good, of course. ❞

❝ shhh, you shouldn’t even speak of such dark magic. ❜

❝ all of these spells contain blood and sacrifice… ❜

❝ I’m still human, you know, with feelings! ❜

❝ you know, there is something else I possess; feelings! ❜

❝ look, it’s really not like any of that. ❜

❝  I don’t care. Anywhere is better than here. ❞

❝  Honestly, how can somebody be in two places at once? ❞

❝  Well, then, you must have some idea who’s behind it all. ❞

❝  But he’s a ghost, he couldn’t die again. ❞

❝  I’m the not only who thought you’d done it.  ❞

❝  I thought we’d be all right, you know, after you’d figured that out. ❞

❝  What are those?! What are those?  ❞

❝  You’ll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, [Name].  ❞

❝  Can’t even go into a bookshop without making the front page. ❞

❝  No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood! ❞

❝  Reading? I didn’t know you could read.  ❞

❝  I told you yesterday. How many times do I have to tell you? ❞

❝  What’s the matter with you two? You’re acting very… odd.  ❞

❝  Didn’t Mummy ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop, [Name]?  ❞

❝  Who else is here? I heard you talking. ❞

❝ You really shouldn’t have done it. ❞

❝ You’ve got dirt on your nose, by the way. Did you know? Just there. ❞

❝  I should have known that you would be here…  ❞

❝  Do you think it wise to trust NAME with something as important as this?  ❞

❝   Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see then.  ❞

❝  Associating with Muggles… And I thought your family could sink no lower.  ❞

❝  Now, I would appreciate it if you would lower your wand. ❞

❝  Out for a little walk in the moonlight, are we? ❞

❝ You French tart! Everything is a conspiracy theory with you! ❞

The days are getting longer, the temperature is heating up, and summer is here. With Voldemort now gone, it seems the Wizarding world can finally embrace summer for the first time in years, and all the joys that come along with it. In celebration of the newfound freedom, the Council has decided to truly celebrate the start of the Professional Quidditch season with a week-long festival, culminating in the first game of the season, The Montrose Magpies vs The Falmouth Falcons.

The opening game will be held at the Falmouth Quidditch Stadium, beginning on the 27TH OF JUNE, but the fun doesn’t start there! Beginning the preceding weekend, the first annual Quidditch Festival will take over the stadium and town. With games of chance and skill, to stalls filled with not only Quidditch memorabilia, but arts and crafts too, there’s something for the whole family!

Important Information:

This event will run for four weeks, from 20 JUNE at NOON EST- 13 JULY at NOON EST after which no new starters should be posted. However, any threads created during the event can, of course, continue

There will be themed sentence starters posted at the start of the event

If you have any suggestions for stalls and/or you would like to have your character be a part of running one, please let us know!

A list of stalls can be found under the cut!

The tag that can be used when tagging starters / edits / etc. is dmhqevent01 as we’d like to reserve the dmhqevent tag for admins to post information regarding the event!

Hello everyone, we hope you’re having a lovely day! This is an important announcement!

We have made some changes to the guidelines and would appreciate it if everyone could please take a look to see what has changed. For those worried that the changes may affect them, these will only be implemented for future characters. Please like this post so we know you have read the changes! Thank you!

[dominomortemhq]

hello members! i am so excited to have joined the team and get the ball rolling. while i am getting myself acquainted to the main, please LIKE this post if you wish for your character(s) to be involved in our upcoming plot drop. we have some exciting things heading everyone’s way!

[dominomortemhq]

Happy Sunday, members ! 

We have a couple little announcements to make, so please like this once you’ve read this. 

As you may know by now, Kait has decided to take a step back to take care of themselves and their health and we admins wish them them the absolute best. These are trying times for many in so, so many ways, which is why we’ve decided to take on another member of the admin team to help out with the main! We’d like to welcome Andy to our team, we’re looking forward to her joining and helping us in continuing to grow this group ! 

That said, we realize the activity hasn’t been at its best as of late, so we want to do an interest check and ask that all our members reach out and let us know if they would like to remain apart of this group and which characters they’d like to keep, if not all, who they’d wish to drop! Of course, dropping muses is certainly not a requirement. We’d like to give everyone three days to reach out to us, and if you haven’t reached out by Thursday, 11 June at NOON EST time / 6 PM GMT+2 time, we will be reopening your characters and faceclaims. This isn’t something we want to do, but we feel it’s necessary in order to get things back to where they need to be, so we hope you do understand and know that you’ll be welcome back at any time, should you find the time and muse returns. 

Warmest Regards,  The Admin Team.

Almost a month after the return of Druella Rosier, and questions about her disappearance still linger on. No one is quite sure what truly happened to the witch, as she has no recollection of the events herself. But time heals all wounds, or so they say, and Cygnus has declared this is a time for celebration!

With his wife back at home, Cygnus Black has decided to hold a special ball of unrivalled spectacle. Open to all of the wizarding world, regardless of blood or financial status, the Black patriarch has hired out the entirety of Hogwarts, taking advantage of the summer break and space, for an event like no other to celebrate his wife’s safe return.

The black-tie event, held in Hogwarts’ Great Hall, is, surprisingly, free to attend, allowing for a true celebration from the entire magical world. But while the ball is free to attend, Cygnus Black has announced in a press conference that the most important part of this event is not the extravagance or outfits or the stunning musical talents that are set to perform, but to help the community come together as one, to help those who need it, and there are a few ways attendees can give back.

A raffle, with prizes including the latest Comet 220, tailored dress robes from Twilfitt and Tattings, and an original Degas painting, will help raise funds for Pur Societatis and their efforts to help those still struggling from the aftermaths of the war.

Profits from the bar sales will also go to helping the community, through a fund for Hogwarts students in need.

Important Information:

This event will last for two weeks, from noon EST on the 15th to the 29th of August, after which no new starters should be posted. However, any threads created during the event can, of course, continue

There will be themed sentence starters posted at the start of the event

First, I’d like to apologize as I understand that things have been relatively slow as of late. Not only have we lost an admin, but the admin team has been quite busy as of late between work and summer, as you may have noticed. We’re still 100% dedicated to this group, but in order to continue we’d like to add on a FOURTH MEMBER to our admin team! 

So, we’ve compiled a little co-admin application that any member is more than welcome to fill out that can be found here ! 

[dominomortemhq]

ACTIVITY / CHECK IN.

The admin team has spent the past few days reviewing our rules and making changes we deem to be suitable for the group now that we’ve been opened for over two months! So, definitely make sure to have a look at those, and send any questions should you have them. 

That being said, we would like to once again to do an interest check in before starting to do activity checks more regularly again, but this time it’ll be a bit different. We would like for each member to send us a message on here, either through the IM or ASK BOX to let us know if they wish to say and if so; who they’d like to keep, and if not all their muses, who they’d like to drop! This extends to everyone in the group, whether you’re on hiatus or not. We are incredibly understanding towards people that need more time and we don’t mind the slow-paced dash, as we all know, but we do want to be able to open characters and faces of people that are no longer interested in this group! 

We will be giving everyone until 27 July 10 PM GMT time to respond, as we feel that’s more than enough time to drop a quick message.
