It's a day like any other day, until you pick something up and feel an otherwordly tug in your belly and the world around you begins to spin- or is it you that's spinning? Before you know it, you're crashing face first into the ground. Dazed, disoriented and feeling slightly ill, you pick yourself up and look around. You appear to be in the middle of a rolling, grassy hillscape somewhere in the countryside and even stranger still, you realize you're holding a stick in place of what you had been reaching for just moments before.
Before you can even begin to ponder further, you hear a series of thunderous cracks all around you as cloaked figures begin to appear, one after the other. They start to close in, all of them spouting something about the usage of an "Unauthorized Portkey" as they point their sticks at you.
One of them murmurs something you don't quite catch, but as soon as they say it the stick you're holding flies out of your hand. Another one of them speaks and the next thing you know, you're being struck in the chest by a jet of red light before everything goes dark.
Hundreds of miles away, behind a locked door atop a secret tower inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a quill sleepily lifts itself out of its inkwell as a thick, impossibly old book falls open next to it. The quill begins to write a name.
Your name. Portus Novus is a panfandom RP set in the magical world of Harry Potter, where your character will attend Hogwarts School of Witchraft and Wizardry. The year is 1984, a mere 3 years after the fall of the dark lord, Voldemort. A peace has fallen over the Wizarding World following his demise, though some of his most fiercely loyal followers remain at large.
It's revealed soon after arriving that your character is a Witch or Wizard.
Not only that, but the amount of raw, suppressed magical power inside of you is usually only observed in the darkest, most dangerous of creatures; an Obscurial. The Ministry of Magic fears that unless your magic is nurtured and allowed to flourish, you could turn into one of these abominations. Just one Obscurial is enough to cause irreparable damage, and with the vast number of unauthorized portkeys popping up over the country bringing individuals from other worlds just like you, the Ministry simply cannot let that happen.
You're given a letter that reads:
Dear Sir or Madam, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall
Until the Ministry of Magic can investigate your arrival and figure out how to reverse the process, they ask that you cooperate for the safety of everyone. They assure you that the Department of Mysteries is actively looking into it, starting with a thorough examination of the wand that you were holding upon arrival.
While you wait for answers, the owner of an inn located in the small village of Hogsmeade, just outside of Hogwarts School of Witchraft and wizardry, has agreed to put you up until the start of term. A warm bed, a cozy atmosphere and free butterbeer are just what you need to settle down after such a long ordeal.
