Monthly Poll: August

Feel free to answer for whichever accounts you so wish! Circumstances were obviously different then, but where would your character have ended up?

I'm cheating and using Michael because all my other characters are too hard.

Obviously, he kind of was on the Order's side.

well, the fact that a lot of my folks would be order folks b/c they're gryffindors or ex-gryffindors  and might skew the vote, i'll only vote once. serves me right for being a gryffy at heart.

Well, Hallie would obviously have sided with the Order!

As for my Notts, well they'd clearly side with the death eaters or at least Pansy would have been neutral during school before signing up after she graduated had Voldemort still been in power.


I decided to go with order though as I'm on Hallie's account.


Personally I'd stay neutral

You are more than welcome to answer the poll for each character's account if you want to, RJ!

Adrienne here would have been neutral, but probably would've gotten herself killed. XD

This is actually a really interesting question if you consider the dynamics at play.  Realistically, at the time, there was no "neutral". Neutral was Switzerland, not in that it was choosing not to fight, but in that it is not in Britain.  So, this is my characters, disregarding neutral as an option.

Selwyn
Wouldn't join the Order because what are the chances they would trust him? He could flee to Germany but that would draw attention and put his parents in danger.  So he'd just keep his head down and hope for the best.

Monroe, Shylock & Destrey
Okay, so in that political climate, their parents are probably not publicising why they're studying blood purity. 

I can see Monroe masterminding some scheme where they pass themselves off as pureblood supremecists, and their parents' studies as an attempt to prove the superiority of purebloods.  So they wouldn't have taken a side but they might have publically supported the Death Eaters as a form of self preservation.

Angelique
Would have joined the Death Eaters for kicks.  Obviously.

Tifanie
Would be living in France.

Ariane
Would have joined Dumbledore's Army.

Malaika
Would join Dumbledore's Army

Jenna & Calixta
Are second gen canons so their attitudes are influenced by their parents being in the first war. 

If I ignore that, Jenna would have joined Dumbledore's Army but refused to fight and Calixta would probably be naive enough to try to join the DA and get cursed either by them, or by the other Slytherins for "betraying" their house.
