[OPEN] What happens in Hogsmeade stays in Hogsmeade

[nonscriptum]

Who: EVERYONE! Especially you!
Where: Hogsmeade Village
When: Oct. 1-2
Rating: PG (Will change if necessary)
Summary: Get your wolf pack and head to town.
The Story:

Ah, Hogsmeade.

They say it's the Vegas of the wizarding world. Or they would, if wizards knew anything about Vegas. Or maybe they'd say it because they don't know anything about Vegas. It doesn't really matter.

What's important is that Hogsmeade is only a hop, skip and jump away from Hogwarts (Hogsmeade, Hogwarts? Coincidence? Wake up, America!), and is host to a number of exciting prospects for people of all ages, provided you're Year 3 or older. Perhaps you're a professor searching for a stiff drink at the Hog's Head Inn to wipe away the stress of the week's classes? Or maybe you're a hapless student with fresh eyes for the little hamlet, eager to try your first Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks?

The village has something for everyone, with all the assorted businesses a thriving witch-and-wizard town could need: grocers, an apothecary, magical item mechanics, clothiers, sporting goods, bookstores, and the Wizarding Wireless Network headquarters.

Where will you be?





NOTE: If there is a particular venue located in Hogsmeade that is not listed and you would like to add it for people to visit, please feel free to make an addition with a context image and a little blurb so the non-HP savvy (who are those people?) can identify it! xoxo

"Inspirational," he says, giving her a mock wounded look. Then a pause. "...Though I would also settle for scary."

[choosetruth]

"The idea of people being inspired by you is the terrifying part." She raises an eyebrow, hands on her hip. "Just think of all those young,impressionable First Years, Shaun. Think about how bad the life choices you would inspire them to make would be. Terrifying."

[adaptiveimmunities]

"I prefer to think I'm inspiring a new generation to greatness."

[choosetruth]

"Great stupidity, more like." She looks around again, then turns back to Shaun. "Had your fill of things idiots find scary yet?"

[adaptiveimmunities]

He sighs. "Yeah, I guess. Nothing happening here now. Maybe I'll come back later. This place is always so disappointing. I have no idea why anyone used to be scared of it."

[choosetruth]

"Same reason anyone's afraid of anything." George starts towards the exit. "Ignorance. They didn't bother to learn any better."

[adaptiveimmunities]

"I guess it's a good thing we have people like you around then, huh?" He grins at her.

[choosetruth]

"You know it." She smirks back. "And you. So get writing that article about how completely lame this place is so they can knock it down already and put up something useful."
