When: June 1 - September 1, 1893 (excepting Tu/Th)
The annual Wizards vs Inferi game has begun, played by students (officially those 17+, but practically all years may participate) during the summer between terms. An enchanted, white band of cloth, which can be tied around the arm or elsewhere, marks most participating students as the game's Wizards. Their goal is to stay 'alive' and not get hit by a spell.
Some, selected players have a black armband, which marks them as Inferi. Their goal is to 'kill' all the Wizards and turn them to their side, which is done by casting Finite. However, other, more enterprising Inferi may seek something with more flair and use more serious dueling charms to achieve this goal. A successful counter-spell charm, or something more powerful such as Expelliarmus, will turn the Wizard's armband black and mark them as Inferi.
Most of Hogsmeade and Magical London is fair game, however Market Days and indoors are designated as Safe Zones where the game should not be played, lest wandering adult eyes catch sight. Players engage in these places, or confide in adults, at their own risk to discipline or peer pressure consequences.
Wizards win if at least one is still alive by the end of summer. Inferi win if no Wizards remain alive. There are a few dozen chocolate galleons to be dispersed among the winners as prizes.
New to 1894: The enchantment on this year's armbands have demonstrated some instability in proximity to each other. The enchantment likes to switch, turning white into black and black into white. Should this occur during an encounter with an opposing player, you may find yourselves on opposite sides of the game. When roles reverse, perhaps the players should follow.
