We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!
The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!
A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!
Please use the form below to apply! If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the mods.

Personality: Hermione Granger is an extremely intelligent witch and is often referred to as the ‘brightest witch of her age’. She has a passion and thirst for learning, and has the ability to absorb information and then recite it verbatim. She loves books and studying, and can often be found in the library researching or furthering her learning.
Hermione finds it difficult to make friends as her peers (and some adults) see her as a know-it-all, and when she corrects people she comes across as bossy and elitist. However this is not the case - her perceived bossiness or ‘one-upmanship’ is a consequence of Hermione’s fear of failure (particularly in relation to her studies), and her self-consciousness about her outward appearance. It isn’t her intention to be bossy or come across as superior, but part of a front that she puts up to protect herself. While she appears confident when talking about her studies, she is deeply wounded when she is bullied about her intelligence and looks, and tends to retreat and steer clear of others, often escaping to the library.
Hermione has a deep respect for rules, structure and authority, and finds the thought of breaking rules abhorrent, often scolding others for doing so. She finds it difficult to accept that a trusted adult in a position of power would abuse it, and often defends authority figures when they are accused of wrongdoing when the evidence isn’t clear. However Hermione does come to eventually see that not all people can be trusted, and not all rules are fair, and she will break the rules if the need is extreme.
After making friends with Harry and Ron, Hermione’s bossiness isn’t quite as extreme, however she will still scold both friends if she feels they are breaking rules, doing something dangerous or neglecting their studies. Both Ron and Harry have helped Hermione open up and be less serious, however will always turn to her for advice, and make use of her impressive knowledge and intelligence. She is the voice of reason when Harry wants to charge forward into something without thinking.
As a friend, Hermione is also fiercely loyal – she is the only one to stand by Harry despite the rumours that circulate in the Daily Prophet about him, and stays by his side despite the difficulties and dangers he is faced with, even though doing so could result in her death. Even when she is shunned by Harry multiple times, she still reconciles with him and remains his closest friend. Her loyalty may be tied to the fact that she finds it difficult to make friends, and therefore clings to the ones she does have.
Hermione also has a strong sense of justice and will stand up for others. She feels that all sentient creatures are equal, and will fight for the rights of minority groups despite knowing she faces an uphill battle, particularly against purebloods.
She can also see past the exterior to the uniqueness and beauty inside – her love for her cat Crookshanks is evidence of this. Crookshanks is one of the ugliest, meanest cats Ron and Harry have seen, however Hermione loves him and Crookshanks is loyal to her, particularly since he chose Hermione as his owner rather than the other way around. She is also one of the only people who treats Harry as a person in his own right, rather than by his title as the ‘Boy who Lived’. She sees past the title and heroic deeds to the real person inside, and treats him as a proper friend.

Victory Road Sample: Hermione leapt up, wand out as her eyes darted around frantically, heart racing. It took a few moments for her to realise that she was no longer in the Department of Mysteries, but also not in the hospital ward at Hogwarts.
She lowered her wand slightly, confused but still alert. Why did this place look familiar?
Her answer came moments later when she found herself bustled out the door after having a backpack shoved in her arms by a cheerful woman who waved goodbye before closing the door on her. That woman had been lucky Hermione hadn't hexed her by accident when she'd burst into the room.
Left alone outside, Hermione sank to the ground, realisation dawning as she took in the music playing in the background.
No.
No, it couldn't be. Not now.
She shakily raised a hand to clutch at her chest. She'd been hit by an unknown curse. She could still feel the ghost of pain deep in her chest.
Had she died? Is that why she was here again?
She shook her head. No, that was unlikely. She wouldn't still feel the pain if she had, and the spell hadn't been the green of the killing curse.
The adrenaline from the fight, from trying desperately to stay alive as Death Eaters hammered them with curses and unforgivables, was wearing off.
Tears pricked at her eyes. All her friends....nothing had prepared them for that fight. She'd told Harry it was a trap and he hadn't listened. She should have tried harder to convince him, to stop him from going.
She had no idea if any of them were still alive. The Order had come in, wands blazing, but that just increased the number of dangerous spells flying around. And now, when her friends needed her the most, she was stuck here. Again. Her only small solace was that when she'd been hit, all her friends had still been standing.
She numbly flipped over the top of the backpack, staring at the red and white ball nestled on top.
