We are a unique community of original characters that still respect the canon laws of the Harry Potter universe. We value in-depth character development and mature writers (Mary-Sues and self-inserts will not be considered.) This is an HP board for dedicated writers and storytellers that enjoy collaborating with their fellow &apos;students&apos; to create their own history.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;    &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;We welcome people to apply for professors, as Mischief Managed is one of the few boards that holds active classes in any and all Hogwarts subjects, but we are also looking for students of all houses and ages (especially Slytherins!) As a moderator, I can tell you that we are always open to new plots and new faces, so feel free to contact the mod account at mismanaged [at] gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Fenrir Greyback, too, is still quite at liberty and has his own brand of fear-wielding power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hogwarts School, Headed by Minerva McGonagall, reopened after reconstruction and the Headmistress has enacted sweeping changes to the Sorting System.  Minerva McGonagall has planted herself firmly against the Ministry&apos;s institutionalised prejudice.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &apos;average Joe&apos; just wants to be left alone, to rebuild their lives, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42145.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;work at their jobs&lt;/a&gt;, raise their families and not live in constant fear anymore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of the chaos, Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy have both begun to pursue the path toward Minister for Magic.  The season leading up to the summer elections promises to be very interesting.&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;With so much Ministry, Political, Death Eater and Werewolf plots in which to play, there is always room for more characters to join the fun!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyperlinks take you to any relevant, existing history of the characters and/or general game information regarding character-types:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/40121.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Neville Longbottom&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/56022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bill Weasley&lt;/a&gt;, and other &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42145.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Death Eaters&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42332.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Order of the Phoenix Members,&lt;/a&gt; and general &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42935.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;adult populace and Ministry workers.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a player-driven request for more politically neutral characters!  The world is in flux and with the current race for Minister, the swing vote is essential!  If you&apos;ve ever thought there was no place for your Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw to shine, then look here!  With so much going on, they are sure to get plot and activity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, our Harry wants more of the old crew from the D.A.  The world is turning upside down with Death Eaters turning martyr, and he needs like-minded individuals to counter the swinging pendulum!  Padma, Parvati, Cho, Michael Corner, Zacharias Smith, Terry Boot and others welcome and wanted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luna Lovegood would be welcome and would walk into a society more willing to believe and subscribe to the Quibbler than the Prophet due to recent events!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also have a request that Daphne would love to have her little sister about!  Astoria Greengrass would walk into a mesh of plots regarding love, politics and family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kinsgley Shacklebolt, Sturgis Podmore, Alastor Moody, Sybill Trelawney, Malcom Baddock, Vincent Crabbe, Blaize Zabini, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/32670.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Theodore Nott&lt;/a&gt;, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil, Angelina Johnson, Stewart Ackerly, Eddie Carmichael, Michael Corner, Ernie MacMillian, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Emma Dobbs, Eloise Midgen, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/669.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;many others&lt;/a&gt; are still open.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Adult Characters!&lt;/b&gt; - Non-Sue/Stu Original adult characters (at least 5 years older than the Trio) are welcome!

Lucius Malfoy has published a very moving book of his &apos;Memoirs&apos; regarding his years as a Ministry Spy, and how deeply &lt;i&gt;grieved&lt;/i&gt; he is over the things he was forced to see and do in this very difficult and dangerous role.  He is slowly stirring the political cauldron with unknown motivations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are Death Eaters who were not &apos;caught&apos;, waiting and searching for someone to lead them. Fenrir Greyback makes random appearances of terror-inspiration, yet has continued to evade capture.&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ministry, Hogwarts, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_ooc/271461.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Politics&lt;/a&gt;, Criminals, werewolves - they all combine to leave a great deal of upheaval, even in &apos;peace&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many Fun characters still available or newly returned to the available pool!:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyperlinks take you to any relevant, existing history of the characters and/or general game information regarding character-types:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/55709.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hermione granger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/40121.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Neville Longbottom&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/56022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bill Weasley&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42145.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Death Eaters&lt;/a&gt;,   &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42332.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Order of the Phoenix Members,&lt;/a&gt; and general &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/42935.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;adult populace and Ministry workers.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a specific, player-driven request for more politically neutral or even DE-sympathetic, pureblood characters, especially Trio-era girls.  The Malfoys would like to start trying to make Draco&apos;s life more confusing by discussing arranged marriages and similarly distressing things!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kinsgley Shacklebolt, Sturgis Podmore, Alastor Moody, Sybill Trelawney, Malcom Baddock, Vincent Crabbe, Blaize Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/32670.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Theodore Nott&lt;/a&gt;, Daphne Greengrass, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, Angelina Johnson, Stewart Ackerly, Eddie Carmichael, Michael Corner, Ernie MacMillian, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Emma Dobbs, Eloise Midgen, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/inception_apps/669.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;many others&lt;/a&gt; are still open.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Adult Characters!&lt;/b&gt; - Non-Sue/Stu Original adult characters (at least 5 years older than the Trio) are welcome!

Tired of one-liners and no character development?  Tired of Everyone-Is-Gay-At-Hogwarts Syndrome?  Tired of games that die after a few months as Muns get bored and move on to the next round of inspiration?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our game began three years after the end of the events of HBP.  We have a &lt;i&gt;LOT&lt;/i&gt; of fun exploring the Wide Wizarding World beyond Hogwarts (no Mun-played students or classes), dabbling in politics, character-developed businesses and careers, Ministry idiocy, scary situations with Greyback and other still-lingering Death Eaters and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not remotely an exaggeration to say we have some of the best quality, most dedicated writers in the role-play fandom.

Fill out an application and get sorted into one of the four Hogwarts houses. Once you are successfully sorted, you will gain access to your common room and the Great Hall. You will also be able to participate in the House Cup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we are a new community, we are still looking for many active members. We hope that it&apos;ll be a fun experience to all and look forward to seeing your application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/sortingitout/profile&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click for rules and more information.&lt;/a&gt;</description>
