#shiftmas2024 Day Four : Sledding 🛷

OG post

What does a hang out with your friend group look like? Where do you go? Who is your friend group?

Answering for my wizarding world dr

Who?

Irl #1 code name: Vanessa 🦁 bestie <3 manchester . pureblood . history & herbology

Irl #2 code name: Dory 🦁 my hometown . halfblood . history & divination

Ardal O'Ghadra 🦁 bestie <3 boyle . newblood . history & potions

Fenton 'Tony' Weasley 🦁 ottery st c . pureblood . charms & muggle studies

Matilda 'Matty' Long 🦁 the wirrel . halfblood . dada & astronomy

Clare Milburn 🦡 middlesbrough . muggleborn . transfig & cmc

Aurora 'Rory' Laurenson 🦡 lerwick . pureblood . charms & runes

What?

Depends who I'm with but I'm attached by the hip to Vanessa to the extent that people ask where she is if she's not there beside me. When not studying or at drama club, we spend a lot of time either chatting about academia and politics, singing along to musicals, hiking all over the hills in search of rare plants or just enjoying each other's company reading in silence, often on either of our beds in the dorm.

I also share a dorm with Dory who is quiet but with a dry sense of humour and she's an incredible artist. We often write and draw together in companiable silence or we yap to each other about our respective special interests (hers being wizard chess). We grew up together and just get each other <3

Ardal and I are also inseparable, we both speak irish and are druids so we have a lot of shared culture which bonded us as first years. We both make each other laugh so much and he helps me not take life/my studies too seriously. We like to hike to the druid temple in Hogswater, sing together in folk club and listen to our favourite shows on the radio in laundry rooms.

Alongside myself, Vanessa and Ardal, Clare is also in drama club with us and the funniest person I know. The three of us write sketches together and will form a comedy writing trio once we finish Hogwarts. She is also a football fan and we like to watch matches in the room of requirement or listen to games on the radio, as well as playing pick up games by the lake when the weather is good.

Being friends with Clare brought me closer to her best friend Rory who loves flying more than anything else and we like to fly over the Hogsmeade nature reserve as a group, Vanessa the only one who doesn't have a broom because it would just end in disaster. Me and Rory just like chatting to each other and doing various hobbies in companiable silence, often in each other's dorm rooms or atop the Astronomy tower on warm clear nights. These talks in the tower lead to us dating and our dates largely consist of walking and a meal afterwards. Occasionally I'll bring her to a muggle place like an arcade or ice rink and she will show me up having learnt to skate on the lakes at home.

Matty is another roommate and also on the quidditch team. She and Rory bond over their mutal love of flying, hard rock and stargazing. Her best friend is Tony Weasley, quidditch obsessed and rarely found inside the library. The two of them are pretty inseparable and often seen with Ardal (they are roommates plus Ardal carries a torch).

I'm glad shifting is a largely female practice because the horrors men would inflict on women on an infinite interdimensional scale do not bear thinking about

My most controversial marauders opinion is that Remus does not listen to the Smiths.

shiftmas2024 Day Three: Eggnogg 🥛

Talk about some drama in your dr

Answering for my main 4 drs:

Wizarding World dr

Okay so interpersonal drama wise there is not much apart from the usual good side/bad side hostilities that despite being 20 years on from the war still cause divides at Hogwarts.

But there is a lot of political drama happening oof. Kingsley stepped down as minister in 2016 after having gutted the Wizengamot and installing a parliamentary system instead to begrudging approval from all sides. However the minister elected in 2017 created another wizengamot in everything but its name and tensions from the war are resurfacing politically for the first time in years.

Not helping matters is a fringe lightside group that want to abolish the statute of secrecy in it's entirety- the reasoning being muggles are unduly suffering without magical help which like..yes true I'm a druid part of our tradition is helping the non magical but their plans are to tear up the statute and appear to muggles as some sort of godly benefactors which is uhh not how I'd do it.

Adding fuel to the fire is the installation of a muggle (not muggleborn but full blown muggle) muggle studies teacher at Hogwarts (this is happening as I'm going into 5th year which is when i plan to shift oof). I've scripted she is a fantastic teacher who absolutely revolutionises muggle studies at Hogwarts and I plan on having a good relationship with her so I'll have a front row seat to whatever unfolds.

PJO/White Vault dr

No drama man we're too busy trying to not be killed by my mother or the primordial beings who are trying to kill her.

Marauders dr

I haven't scripted out the prank so uhh yeah. That'll be a time. (Oh and also I'm going to get bit saving snape..)

Marscorp dr

I have not scripted this dr at all other than I get woken up some time after the Mr Velvet incident (because Hobb wants a scientist on hand who wasn't involved in a plot to have dominion over a parallel reality) but I might try and date Hobb so the drama of fighting over her with Eric will be not fun.

shiftmas2024 Day Two: Gingerbread

OG post

What does your house look like in your dr? Who do you live with? What is your favourite aspect of your house?

Answering for my main 4 drs:

Wizarding world

When I'm not at Hogwarts, I live in a druidic village in this dr so the houses are all covered in foliage, the architectural style is as if the houses are growing out of the hillside and we share a communal garden along the span of the lake. The house has 3 floors: my sister's room making up the 2nd floor; my dad's study, mum's music room, our kitchen, dining room and living room all being on the first floor; and my room, my parent's room, our conservatory and a pantry making up the ground floor.

It's incredibly cosy and filled with each occupants personality, with lots of wood and colourful furnishings. Stained glass windows decorate the front door and the bedroom walls and book cases line the stairwells. More book cases can be found in my room and in my dad's study. Druidic houses are built to maximise sunlight and every room aside from the kitchen and conservatory has a fire place, so the house is always alight and filled with warmth.

I live with my older sister and my parents however it is common for us to have family and friends round.

My room is probably my favourite part as it is so heavily personalised and it is much bigger than the box room I currently have. The ceiling is covered in a mural of waterfowl (my special interest in every reality <3) and water beasts such as plimpys, a corner of my room is dedicated to a small library (complete with comfy armchair), my bed is in a cosy nook and I have a fireplace in the centre of my room to keep me comfortable. I also have a door directly leading to the garden in my dr so I can get up and play early morning quidditch.

Marauders dr

When I'm not at Hogwarts, I live in a small terraced house in my dad's hometown.

Again, I live with my parents and my sister.

My favourite thing about the house will be the large fireplace in the living room and how, in order to fit everybody when family are visiting, the teenagers have to huddle around it on the floor.

PJO/White Vault

I scripted we live in St Johns for this dr and I'm imagining one of those colourful houses in downtown St John's like these bad boys.

I live with my dad and older sister in this reality, although my dad's job requires him to be away at sea for weeks at a time so sometimes it's just the two of us. Further, my sister often stays over with friends at uni so occasionally its just me and my dad or me by myself.

My favourite part of the house is my room at the top of the house which gives me access to the skylight and I can climb up onto the roof.

Marscorp dr

I live on the marscorp base in this dr so I don't technically have a house just quarters and as I have no family in this dr it's just a singular room.

I imagine it like this except instead of plants that part is a small seating area with a table and the rooms are a bit brighter.

I live alone in this dr.

My favourite part is the window next to my bed where I can look out onto Mars.

Day One: Carolling 🎶

Credit to @solstices-dreams for the challenge <3

What are a few songs that remind you of your dr and why?

Two songs for each of my 4 main drs because why not?

PJO/White Vault

This is purely vibes based. Vaguely ominious and, as a daughter of Khione in this dr, any songs about snow remind me of my life there.

The biggest appeal of this dr to me, even above having powers, is the roadtripping vibes a quest will bring (yes I know this song is about getting a train but its a roadtrip song to me)

Marauders dr

Planning on singing this at Hogwarts graduation and bawling my eyes out <3

Makes me think of Marlene :')

Wizarding World dr (my main dr<3 )

So many songs to choose from my playlist for this dr is 8 hours long..

Again just vibes based but specifically quidditch vibes like I can see this as a quidditch song the fans sing before a match a la sunshine on leith. My friend Clare is also big into britpop and quidditch so it reminds me of her <3 (even though she insists oasis is the worst britpop band, this is still one of her favourite songs)

Following the quidditch theme, this is the unofficial theme for the Shetland quidditch team aka 'the mirrie dancers' for obvious reasons and my potential s/o Rory comes from there and she wants to be a pro quidditch player. Just fantasizing about singing this to her after her first match I'm sooo pathetic.

Marscorp dr

This is pretty self explanatory to anybody who has listened to marscorp but the venn diagram of marscorp listeners and shifters is two circles. Tldr those of us who were sent to mars were not woken up when we thought we would be due to orders from above..

Just vibes. I don't know how to explain this one.
