~ Things I Add to My Script to Make My Life Easier, Part Two: Harry Potter DR Edition ~ <3
This is a list of things I add to my scripts to make my Harry Potter DR life easier. (These could also apply to any dr within the Harry Potter universe: Ex. FBAWTFT, Cursed Child Era, Marauders Era)
~~
- Setting
What I script: "The plot of Harry Potter will follow the plot of the books, except it takes place in 2020, there is no coronavirus and Voldemort died in the first war."
This is a big one for me because both my HP and Marauders DRs are modernized, aged up, and I've gotten rid of Voldemort. This sounds like a lot of work but luckily I have done it for you and am willing to share my scripts if you're interested.
Of course, the setting will be to your preference so if you want it to be a canonical timeline, with Voldemort, then disregard this section. <3
- Clothing
What I script: "I have all my clothes in a trunk at the end of the bed. Only I can open this trunk. The clothes in this trunk always fit me and I always look good in them. The clothing are [insert dr style]."
In the first part I mentioned the closet I usually script but since we're at Hogwarts, they have trunks and wardrobes for their clothing, not closets.
Once again, if you're changing the dorms of your dr to have a closet, then you can disregard this section. <3
- Dorms
What I script: "Dorm rooms are bigger on the inside and function by stepping into one, small, communal lounging space connected to 5 medium-sized bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms has a closet; a bookshelf; a desk and a double bed with two bedside tables. There’s a wardrobe with 7 [house] uniforms in it. When you place clothes in this wardrobe and shut the door, they will be clean and wrinkle-free when you open the door again."
This is one of my essentials because I don't want to have to share a room with four other people.
- The Suitcase
Now, what is the suitcase exactly... if you've ever watched Fantastic Beasts then you will know about Newt Scamander's infamous suitcase of animals. Well, this is a twist on that, only instead of stepping into a zoo you step into an apartment styled to your liking!
What I script: "I have a suitcase that I have put under my bed that looks like a normal suitcase on the outside but is much larger on the inside. Inside is a studio apartment furnished to my liking. This apartment never runs out of water or electricity. It’s stocked with my favorite foods and drinks and is always the perfect temperature. I am the only one who can open this suitcase. I can always change this apartment just by saying simple commands out loud like “change to modern decor” or “add 2 more bedrooms” or “add another chair to the dining table”."
- Your Magic Ability
What I script: "I am a fast learner and extremely talented wizard. I excel at school and school and homework is easy to me. Enchantment of objects and things is my speciality. I am also very skilled in wandless magic and rarely actually need my wand or to say words to perform magic. I am particularly skilled in wandless telekinesis."
Now this is obviously very altered to fit my preferences the kind of magic I am interested in in my DR, so you can change this and switch out the specialities to better fit you and your DR. Also, this is where I would add in that I'm an animagus or a werewolf/veela/etc, if that's something you want in your DR.
- Plot Points
Here are some details I've added to my DR, to fit my own preferences, that you might want to pick and choose from!
Remus stays the DADA teacher even after the events of Prisoner of Azkaban and Dumbledore works to make sure he keeps the position.
Dolores comes to 'watch over' Hogwarts after the ministry finds out about Remus's lycanthropy, and she is appointed the position of Vice Headmaster.
There is a Triwizard Tournament every three years, but no one ever dies from it and they're actually quite fun.
Yule Balls are annual and take place the week before we leave for December Vacation.
On Halloween there is a competition to see who can come up with the coolest, most creative, or most elaborate Halloween costumes. There are prizes, a dance, and the house elves always put your favorite candy/treat on your bedside table the morning of so you can start your day outright.
There are many extracurriculars, including magical and non-magical extracurriculars. [This is where you list off any sports, clubs, or otherwise you would want the school to have.]
- 'Cheats'
I cannot die and I have a high pain tolerance.
If someone forces me to tell them the truth, in any manner, nothing about my Original Reality or shifting comes out of my mouth.
There is no Voldemort.
I am immune to diseases, infections, and poison.
I cannot break any bones.
There is no homophobia, racism, or transphobia and people aren’t against polyamorous relationships.
