Brilliant Event: Stronger United

Brilliant Ministry Atrium[]

"The Calamity most recently focused on Grimmauld Place, headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. It looks like there may well be another surge, and carly accounts indicate that it may also be related to the Order.

The Calamity always seems to focus on something in particular — a time, a place, or a group of people — if we can identify what the Calamity is targeting, we may be able to figure out how to stop it."

— Harry Potter


Name	Description	Remarks
Brilliant Nymphadora Tonks Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	Before she became an Auror, Nymphadora Tonks used her appearance-shifting Metamorphmagus abilities to cause mischief as a Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.	"Tonks joined the Order and died during the Second Wizarding War. I hope that Teddy — that’s her son — doesn’t come across this Foundable... I know from personal experience what it's like to interact with a dead parent." — Harry Potter
Briiliant Mad-Eye Moody Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	As an Auror, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody apprehended some of the wizarding world's most dangerous criminals, often at great personal risk. Even in retirement, he suffered kidnapping, imprisonment, and impersonation - ultimately losing his life in a battle against Death Eaters and Voldemort himself.	"Mad-Eye Moody was one of the original members of the Order of the Phoenix — one of the few that survived to fight Voldemort a second time. So perhaps the Calamity isn’t done with the Order yet?" — Harry Potter
Brilliant Madam Bones Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	Amelia Bones was the celebrated Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement before her untimely death, which is rumoured to have been at the hands of Lord Voldemort himself.	"If I'm not mistaken, Madam Bones wasn’t a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Odd that she would show up here... she did die fighting Lord Voldemort. Maybe that’s the connection?" — Harry Potter
Brilliant Kingsley Shacklebolt Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	Before ascending to the office of Minister for Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt worked as an Auror in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He used his role to provide information to the Order of the Phoenix and to keep the Ministry unaware of the fugitive Sirius Black's true location.	"Interestingly, Kingsley Shacklebolt was a member of the Order, and did his share of fighting... but he’s still alive. So I think we can rule out “death by Voldemort” as an element of this, surge." — Harry Potter
Brilliant Scrimgeour Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	After the ousting of Cornelius Fudge, Rufus Scrimgeour was elected to the office of Minister for Magic by a wizarding population frightened by the resurging threat of Lord Voldemort. Although Scrimgeour made little progress in turning the tide of the Second Wizarding War, he is remembered for heroically giving his life to protect the whereabouts of Harry Potter.	"Minister Scrimgeour died during the Second Wizarding War, protecting my location from Voldemort. So is the Calamity just... pulling people back who fought against Voldemort?" — Harry Potter
Brilliant Gethsemane Prickle Return To: The Atrium, British Ministry of Magic	Gethsemane Prickle served as Head of the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Despite her rather abrasive demeanor, she was well-respected within her department as an accomplished potion-maker and herbologist.	"Hang on, you weren't part of the Order of the Phoenix, were you, Gethsemane? And you certainly didn’t die during the Second Wizarding War..." — Harry Potter "I can confirm that I didn't die. As for the Order of the Phoenix, I was never invited to join them. But there were other — and some might say better — sways to combat te Dark Lord." — Gethsemane Prickle

"If you lock at ll of the things that we returned, there is one thing in common — everyone worked directly for the Ministry. Why is the Calamity suddenly focusing on the Ministry?

Could it be that our efforts to combat the Calamity are drawing its attention?"

— Harry Potter

Brilliant Ministry Lift[]

"Harry informed me that the Calamity appears to be focused on the Ministry itself. It's vitally important that you continue returning the Foundables that you find, but I must ask you to be discreet.

The publics looking for the Ministry to be a source of calm. We have no idea what would happen if the Calamity just whisked us all away at once. I don't think that’s possible, but I also would never have imagined anything like was feasible in the first place."

— Hermione Granger


Name	Description	Remarks
Brilliant Arthur Weasley Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	Arthur Weasley's fascination with Muggle technology served him well as an employee of the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, eventually leading to his appointment as Head of Department. During the Second Wizarding War, he also served a brief stint as the head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects.	"Arthur was a dedicated Ministry employee, but he wasn't exactly famous. It’s curious that the Calamity should focus on him." — Hermione Granger
Percy Weasley Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	As an ambitious new graduate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Percy Weasley enthusiastically accepted a position within the Department of International Magical Co-operation. Many years and various positions later, he eventually ascended to Head of the Department of Magical Transportation.	"Percy is Head of Magical Transportation. It's an important office, but hardly the largest in the Ministry. Why would the Calamity choose him?" — Hermione Granger
Minister Hermione Granger Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	After the defeat of Lord Voldemort, in which she played a pivotal role, Hermione Granger joined the Ministry of Magic, first within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and later the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. When the Calamity struck, she was instrumental in the formation and operation of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force.	"If someone at the Ministry had to become a Foundable, it’s better, I suppose, for it to be someone who has already come to terms with it. Honestly, it's rather awful. It doesn't hurt, but you feel a stifling sense of something missing from you and, until it is returned, you cannot put your finger on what it is. I hope you never have to endure it." — Hermione Granger
Constance Pickering Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	As Junior Undersecretary to Minister Granger when the Calamity struck, Constance was tasked with coordinating the efforts between the Calamity World Centre at the British Ministry of Magic and the global network of Statute of Secrecy volunteers.	"Now, Constance, I don’t want you to worry. The effects of being a Foundable are uncomfortable, but as far as we know, there’s no long-lasting harm." — Hermione Granger "Honestly? It’s all a bit flattering, isn’t it? All of my hard work has been noticed by the Calamity! I'm absolutely chuffed!" — Constance Pickering
Daily Prophet Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	In the weeks following the Calamity, the Daily Prophet kept its frightened and fascinated readers informed of the latest developments and theories coming from the Ministry. It was a vital source of information and played an important role in recruiting members for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force.	"The Daily Prophet seems to turn up as a Foundable often. It’s not surprising, given how desperately people await the latest issue for news on the Calamity. Since we haven't been able to do much more than slow it down, I fear they may be waiting a bit longer." — Hermione Granger
Flying Ministry Memos Return To: The Lift, British Ministry of Magic	When the Calamity occurred and the British Ministry of Magic took the lead in the global effort to combat it, memo aeroplane went up by ever four-hundred and eleven percent, instigating an unprecedented parchment shortage at the Ministry offices.	"Sometimes I wonder if the Calamity has a sense of humour. The Ministry is famously bureaucratic, and our critics would no doubt be amused by our memos becoming Foundables." — Hermione Granger
