The Mansion sits in silence, everything inside it coated in a heavy layer of dust. It's waiting. It's plotting. It had reluctantly released its captives for a while -- back to their native books lands -- but that was only to lull them into a false sense of security. Now it's back with a renewed sense of mischief ( Read more... )

Around the mansion many drinking glasses can be found - all are full of a delicious smelling liquid which many will find impossible to resist. Once someone takes a sip they will begin losing at least one of their senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch. (For those already missing a sense they may find they get that one back but lose another ( Read more... )

A very ancient looking book with a black cover and a gold patterning that may look like a face on it (should someone close the book to inspect it) lies open on a table in the main room of the mansion. Where it came from or how it got there is a mystery. But there it is. And in bold letters it states very clearly on the open page:

She shuts the door behind her and turns around, fully expecting to see a different room to the one that's in front of her. Passing a hand over her eyes, she opens the door again to see if anything is the same as it was not a moment ago. Nope, that's not the room she just left...
Turning, she puts her hands on her hips and speaks to the empty room, " ( Read more... )

A frustrated Draco has charmed the main room of the mansion. Anyone walking through it will become nicer. He's meant for this spell to benefit himself and make people be nice and friendlier to him but the charm is not so exclusive - anyone affected will be extremely nice to everyone - even those they don't like.

The effects will wear off over time

For those who noticed George's entrance (and didn't know of the Weasley twins - but who doesn't?), it might seem like deja vu. Yet another redheaded male wizard strolls in, but this one has both ears intact and proceeds to look solemnly confused at the moment, a far cry from his usual flippant and teasing attitude ( Read more... )

The arrival of another person or red-head or even a wizard in the Mansion isn't a particularly big deal (even if the red-headed wizard is a Weasley), but this specific Weasley has changed significantly since the last time anyone here has seen him. When he isn't talking to anyone and when he thinks nobody is paying attention to him, he's quiet, ( Read more... )

The mansion's newest arrival crashes to the ground with a loud thump, having appeared in midair. The woman lies where she has fallen for a moment, before coming to the conclusion that she is not, in fact, dead. Also, this place has nice, soft carpets and is very well-lit. So, probably not a dungeon.

Beginning to rise, she notices her wand, lying ( Read more... )

And here's another young man, who looks suspiciously like a younger version of one James Potter -- except possibly more freckly and less -- glasses-y, soaring neatly into the front gardens on a broomstick. He hops off and looks around, smirking a bit, and then heads to the front door to peer in ( Read more... )

With a thump, there is a new arrival in the mansion, falling out of mid-air into the main room, and thinking that he oughtn't have entered that particular doorway. He's not sure what happened, but he's hoping that he won't get in trouble for it, it's only his second week at Hogwarts after all ( Read more... )
