location : fiendfire club opening status : open to all

RHYTHM has never been her strong suit ,  so whilst others find themselves drawn to the dance floor , hannah opts for a darker corner . too used to being the shadow , the fly upon t he wall in which her former classmates could hardly suspect . fluorescent lighting seeps through her skin , bodies becoming nothing more than a blur mere feet away from her . there was something about the confined space that had managed to strike an anxious chord within her heart . yet , it remains unbeknownst to those around her . petal pink lips plumped to perfection , lightly blushed cheeks shining if only to mask something likened to sorrow that lay beneath . fingers , nimble and delicate , are gripping rum filled glass that she so carefully consumes . it burns , and for a moment she regrets ordering it , but she’ll take anything that keeps her warm . it’s with a curious brow that hannah’s gaze falls upon her companion , another soul seeking solace from the drown out words that echo throughout the dance floor. 

“ not really your scene either , i’m assumin’ ? “ her vocals are sweet , as if liquid sugar , and louder than usual. another moment to masquerade , to hide her feelings beneath the guise of discomfort .

It was... strange. Like the past two years lacked normalcy and this was the most normal Zach had felt in years. Music pumped through the venue and Zach’s head swam from the booze, feeling extremely underdressed with what the other witches and wizards were wearing. Why did he decide to go? He’s been asking himself these kinds of questions everywhere he went that was outside his home and work. A Wizarding party might have been on his list of Things to Do back in his days at Hogwarts, but now Zach was... respectable?

Still, he must have looked as out of place as he felt, smushed against sweaty bodies. His glass had been refilling itself thankfully, as the need to drown neat booze consumes him whenever he’s around people for too long. As much as he was a social charmer when he wanted to be, most of the time Zach enjoyed his solitude. Except, now that he was positively drunk, he was actually having an okay time.

He stayed in the sidelines, watching people dance, head and feet tapping to the beat of the music. Something bold within him lit up and he found them standing a few feet away. Feeling bold, Zach licked his lips, put his drink down and approached them. “Hey,” he smiled, perhaps even flirting a bit. “Wanna dance?”

FIENDFIRE GRAND OPENING IN KNOCKTURN ALLEY! WEIRD SISTERS MUGGLE BORN BASSIST OPENS WIZARDING DANCE CLUB! CONTROVERSY ABOUND!

FiendFire’s grand opening sparks a curious eye for many in the London Wizarding world. Why? Because it's the very first time in Wizarding history that something like it has graced the streets of Knockturn Alley and yet its anticipated to be wildly popular. FiendFire is a dance club featuring bands like the Hobgoblins, Rhythmic Runes, and many more they plan to have live music every night with the dancing floor wide open.

In a bit of controversy, however, the dancing club is shockingly run by a muggle born. Causing uproar in the ministry and many to feel as though this will be a turning point in post-war relations. Things have been relatively quiet up until now but will that be changing with both the location and owner being suspect? Will this sudden popularity boost and displacement from pureblood norms ruffle too many feathers here in Diagon Alley and in the Ministry?

Club Owner, Donaghan Tremlett (of the popular band The Weird Sisters), has caused controversy a few times before with lyric choices and incidents caused at concerts. Quoted as saying, “I figure that if the muggles can make this work and get people to get together, we can too.” Tremlett is determined that their opening of the club will go off without any trouble. According to Tremlett, the opening week is stacked in the clubs favor featuring a headlining band each night. The Daily Prophet will be following this story as it develops.

FIREY ATTACK AT FRIENDFIRE!

Midweek of the highly successful opening week at Friendfire patrons inside felt horror grip their hearts are the Dark Mark was cast above the building in Knockturn Alley and two masked individuals entered the scene! Spellfire rang through the crowd as curses hit those who were on the front lines, after setting fire to the bathroom and trapping three inside. Critical injuries occurred but no deaths.

The year-long uneasy peace that Wizarding London has felt seems to be over. At this time the Ministry has no leads on who caused the attack or who was behind the all too familiar bone white masks.  This leads many to believe that this muggleborn run business will close due to the pressure of the still on the run Death Eaters but Tremlett says otherwise.

Stating, “This club? Nah it’s not closing, just needs some stronger fire dampeners and a few mending charms and it’ll be right as rain again. Come on by again tonight, you’ll see. Us muggle born are far tougher than a bit of fire.”

During this horrific attack, three patrons were seriously injured. Tracey Davis (20), Ronald Weasley (19), and Pansy Parkinson (19) were all in the line of fire receiving second-degree burns on various parts of their bodies. St. Mungos was quick on the scene after Aurors were able to put out the dangerous fire. However, the perpetrators were able to sneak away into the dead of night.

EVENT PLOT DROP:

Please do not start any new event threads after Feb 2nd, if you have open threads you should wrap them up by Feb 16th.

Music pumped through the amplifications spells causing the walls and floors to pulsate almost from the bass. The outfits were more daring on the half-blood and muggle-borns than the purebloods, since they had likely seen the muggle world version of clubbing at one point or another. This? This was by far the strangest but oddly fascinating blend of the two worlds Hermione had a foot in. A baffled smile kept overtaking her lips are she stood on the edge of the crowd of people. 

When she was younger she’d taken classical dancing lessons --waltz, foxtrot, and more. But the way people were able to trash about gave her a pause, she’d been able to be carefree at the Yule Ball with Viktor but it seemed that was all his doing since she couldn’t seem to bring herself to do that tonight. Maybe it was because she hadn’t seen anyone she knew yet? Either way, she was to the side and safely drinking a bubbling glass of the clubs specialty drink. The club wasn’t large but with so many people her age packed into it this week, it sure was amazing to see. No one seemed to give a shit about anything but the music and the good times.
