Member-Driven Plot Ideas

[Isabelle Ine Iolani]

I am a huge fan of member-driven plots. It's fun and exciting and doesn't require everyone's participation. Plus, they can be as long-term or short-term as the participants want.

I'm trying to put together a list of mini-plot ideas! Feel free to help me out, or let me know if you're interested in pursuing one of these. Or, just provide feedback.

I'm asking a question I do when tackling things in real life: "How could Hogwarts be changed, shaken, or improved?" and going from there.

• Aspiring journalists of Hogwarts ask investigative questions to faculty, students, and Hogsmeade community members. They get to the bottom of what's going on - shortage of classes, any restrictions that might pop up, house elf rights.
• A group of students, or one student, who are heavily interested in Potions try spiking drinks. The drinks can be consumed by house elves, professors, or fellow students. What happens?
• Students/a student who are able to get their hands onto a magical creature. What happens next?

Yes, it's small, but let's see how large we can make it!

[Lexi Knight]

I'm plotting a highly escalating sibling rivalry between Lexi and her little sister

[Isabelle Ine Iolani]

Awesome! It would be really cool if that rivalry extended to their friends' circles or houses. The rivalry could be visible in classes, on the Quidditch pitch, everything! It would be exciting to get people involved. What kind of rivalry do you picture?

[Lexi Knight]

Well, it starts with Lexi being treated like she's the best, and Megan (her little sister) getting the short end of the stick. Like thaeir parents miss one of Megan's events to go to one of Lexi's, because they view Lexi as this child prodigy. Of course, Lexi doesn't understand why Megan is starting to distance herself from her, but Megan obviously starts hating her sister. Whoever plays Megan is going to have to be able to get pretty dark with the character, because later on, after both girls have left school, Megan kills Lexi.

Megan will be a 3rd year Slytherin this upcoming year, and the first 2 years Lexi and Megan were close, so I'm assuming the rivalry will already have started by now.
