So it's that time of month! The second Surprise and Disaster is about to begin!
The event boards will open for threading on Friday March 22nd and will be open until we finish (because last time an ending date didn't work very well...). Then there will be one week between then and when the next Surprise and Disaster is posted! Hope you enjoy!
The Surprise...
So, with the new power known as The Nex rising faster and getting stronger all the time, a few things need to be taking effect.
FOR THE GROWN-UPS
With the most recent moves from the Nex, Sirius Potter has decided it is high time the Order of the Phoenix comes out of retirement, they're going to be needed. After talking it over with Claire, and with her help he is getting things organized and ready to start meetings and start working on a plan to defend their world and stop the Nex before it is too late. He is hand picking the members of the Order, people he knows through work, people he's known for years but only the people he knows he can trust. Sign up here and you will receive a PM about the initial meeting, and feel free to PM Padfoot for a thread if you want one where Sirius comes and seeks out your character for the Order.
FOR THE STUDENTS
After being abducted by the leader of the Nex himself, Ethan Potter has decided its high time the other students knew what was going on. After all, the whole wizarding world seems to be blind to the chaos going on all around them! He's not about to let Blackwell scare him off, he's going to make sure the students are ready. After all, the last time something like this happened, Hogwarts was taken for the control of the Death Eaters. If the members of the Nex want to try that, Ethan and his crew are going to be ready for them! Sign up here and then when the time for the first meeting, where Ethan explain's his case, you will receive a PM with linkage to the thread!
The Disaster...
Characters Involved: Juliette Benson, Sirius Potter, Cato Blackwell, Blaine Koon, Lyra Malfoy.
Juliette has a secret and she hasn't told anyone yet except for her father. She's pregnant and Blaine Koon is the father. Finally a few months later, when she know's at this point she wont be able to hide it forever, she gets up the courage to tell them. Her and Blaine wandered past Hogsmeade, just walking and enjoying one another's company as she tried to work up the nerve to tell him when the had finally wandered past the safety of the school and the village and no sooner had they done that then did Cato Blackwell appear, threatening his "son" and his "girlfriend" which is how he sees it. Blaine get's defensive, get's between his so called father and Juliette, and protects her from him. When Blaine has been injured and pushed out of the way Blackwell pull's his wand on Juliette, but a random passer-by show's up just after he starts the Cruciatus Curse on the innocent girl. Lyra Malfoy, a beast tamer heading to the school to assist Professor Teddy Lupin see's what is going on and disarms Blackwell and rushes over to help the two teens.
Blackwell, while not happy about the interruption, has more important things on his agenda today than this. If he was going to kill any of the Potter's again, it would be in front of Albus and Sirius -- Albus who he hated with a fiery passion and Sirius who he merely couldn't stand for the way he protected his murdering little brother. If he was going to hurt the girl, it would be in front of them next time. But before leaving, he made sure to warn his son, to stay away from the Potter family if he wanted to live. That he should come home, where be "belongs". Leaving his words off there, Blackwell apparates away and Lyra Malfoy brings the two students back to Hogwarts to the Hospital Wing to be checked over, and informs Sirius about what happened. This will be the action that causes Sirius to invite Lyra into the Order as well.
(This plot will be completely threaded in the order described above in the summary as the disaster.)
