The year is 2012 and the scars left by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his followers have begun to heal in the wizarding world. A cautious hope for a brighter future grows stronger with each passing day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the epicentre of the horrifying last battle between good and evil. With new staff, Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic has reformed and emerged stronger. Newspapers called it the Lumos Alliance; the Light Alliance, and most recently it has been generally accepted as the official title of the new war against darkness. Take part, and create your own part of the story! Lumos Alliance is a PBBG that welcomes players of all ages and abilities.
The new Pensieve feature is now ready. You can buy a Pensieve at Borgin & Burkes, Knockturn Alley.
You can add to it, view and edit existing entries, and extract them into empty memory vials, which can be bought at Slug and Jiggers, Diagon Alley. You can then give them to friends (and not friends), or toss them away for someone else to stumble upon them.
The link to your pensieve can be found on the sidebar, under Your Options.
You can now use Remembralls to store reminders which will appear in your page at the specified interval. This can be done by going to your trunk and navigating to a Remembrall that you've bought, using the 'Create Reminder' option.
They can be bought at the store 'Sight', in Diagon Alley.
You can edit and delete stored reminders from your Preferences, under 'Your Remembrall'.
Our RPotM for April is Give Me A Second, I Need To Get My Story Straight, which details the meeting and bonding of Vanity Villiers and Saeid Yassin over a spot of Quidditch practice. Two very powerful characters convene in this commendably written RP, albeit with a hint of feuding and flirting along the way. This pair's writing makes for an excellent read and look as though they are one to watch!
First runner up goes to It's only awkward when you say Goodbye by Violet Archer and Addison Claridge. Secrets are revealed and explored on the Hogwarts Express as two young Ravenclaws discuss Violet's family issues and develop their close friendship over an abundance of confectionery. We really enjoyed the realistic characterisation that set this RP apart from the rest.
Finally we have Dandelion Wishes, a light and humorous RP from the acclaimed Brynlee Baublit and Kasia Lisette. The two girls consider typically teenage topics such as boys in a light hearted chat over term break, involving a bit of sketching which provides some amusement for the younger of the two. It's often difficult to structure open RPs but these two clearly cracked it and succeeded in writing a fabulous RP, well done!
Within the next few days the site will be disabled while we move it to a new host. The downtime could take up to 3 days (worst case scenario).
We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is something that is necesarry.
We may be able to keep the chatroom running, but no guarantees.
EDIT: The site will remain as normal for the moment until I can get the server up and running. Please continue on as normal and we will make sure everyone is informed.
To be on the save side, make sure you keep copies of your work that you have been doing from now until the change over.
Welcome to all students; new and returning. Welcome to a brand new term here on Lumos Alliance. As for right now, classes are open for all of those who wish to help your Houses win the race for the House Cup. This is also the only way to Year Up so it is a wise idea to get started on doing that homework.
Also, Platform 9 and 3/4 will stay open for 2 more weeks so this is your last chance to start or finish RPs that you have going on in there.
