Where: Picturesque Hawkshead, Cumbria, England (no seriously just look at this place)
Who: Marlene, any would-be Order members, and anyone who wants to gatecrash tbh
What: Insubordination Dueling Practice A Lovely Autumnal Picnic in the Lake District Nothing Suspicious Here

Proving that, once again, nothing gets done unless she does it herself, it's Marlene who sweet talks her second cousin in Cumbria to lend her some of those fallow fields outside Hawkshead. It's Marlene who puts up the wards that stop any Muggles from wandering in when people are practicing their offensive charms. It's not Marlene who caters the thing, though, so food is entirely dependent on whether said attendee remembers that the polite thing to do when invited to a party is to bring something along.

It's late in the day, and Marlene's leaning against her broom on a field covered haphazardly with picnic cloths and an incredibly odd assortment of food (someone 100% brought Muggle takeaway to this wizarding picnic). She raises a hand to shield her eyes from the sun, and if one went to school with her, it'd be easy to imagine her back in the Gryffindor Quidditch uniform she'd worn as chaser and team captain instead of the simple dress and boots she has to keep the autumn wet at bay.

Eventually, she slants a look over at whoever's next to her. "Well, are you just going to stand there, babes? Do something."

[If you want Marlene, feel free to respond directly, otherwise all the top levels ever]

( the time deviants registration department is open for business, and true to its nature as the unholy lovechild of the dmle and the dmac, its main defining trait appears to be 'ruthless efficiency'. well, that and being a little bit understaffed, considering that some parts of the registration seem to be held not just by your betters, but by your way betters.

like bellatrix, yours truly, who completely missed the seminar on work-life-balance, but definitely attended the one on dedication to the cause several times over. she can be found just about anywhere – maybe she just got done snapping at some poor sod, maybe you're unfortunate enough to share an elevator with her, maybe you're sitting across from her at one of the registration desks and looked at her a little funny, maybe you're someone who knows her well enough to be able to tell that she's been on her feet for forty-eight hours and counting –– or maybe you have an actual magical accident to report. whatever the case, she is going to be there, sharp and all cool politeness: )


And what would your problem be?

( and better make it a good one, because getting the trace only really hurts if you annoy her. )

( sooner or later, even she will be done professionally oppressing people for a living she doesn't even need too make –– and what better to do with all this fortune than spend it? odds are the actual purchase was made in knockturn alley, but maybe she is en route to some other shop. can't live off of dark artefacts alone now, can you.

anyway, as fate will have it, she manages to walk straight into you, or vice versa, and the newly-acquired item, an especially cursed manuscript wrapped carefully in spell-woven cloth, does as things do when affected by the basic law that is gravity: it goes tumbling. and since bella can't tell if the thoroughly warded cloth is still sitting snug in all the right places, all while being in no position to be involved in someone's rather public maybe-death... )


You mustn't touch it, unless you have a death wish.

( her tone all but implies you do, regardless of whether she was the one to cause the accident or not. )
