For the WIP game, whistleblower please ! :)

Buuuckle up it’s political and DARK and been rotting in my WIPs for a year.

Whistleblower

Premise: power corrupts. 

Dumbledore versus Riddle - think Berlin Wall. Blood purity. Magical world but no hogwarts. Dumbledore had the ‘moral’ high ground, but employed the same methods in the dark. (Think American politics)

Regulus and Sirius grew up on Riddle’s side. Sirius escaped at twenty, Reg 17, left behind. Beaten to an inch of his life being interrogated about how his brother possibly could’ve escaped, first by parents, then authorities. 

Thrown into a river to die, he survives thanks to to fate and the Rosier twins, similarly societally disgraced. Their parents were killed for allegedly being informants for the other side (they weren’t).

With the twins’ help, he managed to get in with the underbelly of society; drug dealers and prostitutes, and was masterful enough to make and trade drugs in exchange for information. Meets Dorcas - who worked as a server and knows a lot of powerful gossip. Expert in wandless magic. (Her parents viewed wands as a liability before they were outlawed)

Collected information, names and places of higher government officials. Barty + Evan pro thieves and able to get into places and get even more information. Pandora a forger, made fake documents. Information was collected not to tear down, but as blackmail if anyone tried to stop them. Reggie wants revenge for himself and wants to be reunited with sirius. Dorcas, for herself. Evan and Pandora because of their parents. Barty, for his father who sacrificed his mother and Barty to get himself on the other side.

In this world, there’s a “diplomat” between governing agencies. In reality, he sells information to the highest bidders and both governments think he’s loyal to them alone. Very shrewd. Diplomat hears a rumor Regulus is still alive, catches a peak of him when he follows Dorcas home. He tries to bring them in, but duel happens, and they get away.

They make it out, by the skin of their teeth, and the fake documents work for a beat, and they settle into a tenement on the poorer side of Dumbledore’s area. Idea to lay low.

It almost works ;)
