What is your plot idea? Please explain in great detail: Jonah is at the lake skipping stones when his pet owl, Circe, swoops in with a letter from his brother Orion. Orion wrote to Jonah to warn him in advance that once he got home from Hogwarts, their parents were going to drop the bomb that they were getting divorced, and Orion wanted to let Jonah know ahead of time so he could be ready for it. Jonah doesn't respond to the information well--since he hasn't been home to witness the buildup, the news comes completely out of left field for him and he's left angry that he can't do anything about it and scared of the thought that he and his siblings could possibly get separated in the aftermath. He crumbles up the letter, throws it to the ground, and incendios it just in time for Sonora to catch him upset.
Sonora asks him what's going on and Jonah, currently angry at the world, tells her everything about the letter and how his parents are awful for taking so long to decide something like this without even considering their children. Initially he thinks it's his father leaving, not being able to handle two magical children, and he expresses how he blames himself for being such a mess growing up that Marco must have had it by the time it came for Rhea's magic to start appearing. Jonah cries for the first time in front of someone that isn't his own mother, and Sonora manages to calm him down and reassure him it will be alright.
The following Summer Jonah moves with his Mom, Orion, and Rhea to her father's old house in Godric's Hollow. Jonah comes to the conclusion Delia was the one to initiate the divorce since she obviously had been keeping the house as a fail-safe, and their relationship will suffer as a result.
When do you plan for this idea to go into effect? Spring 2044, last week of school.
What are the idea's drawbacks? (e.g. Does anyone get killed? Is Hogwarts going to have to suffer? etc.) Jonah's going to develop some insecurities about his magic and blame himself for the divorce, much like his sister. His relationship with his mom gets rocky since he thinks she's the one that decided to leave and take everyone away from Marco. He will also be more broody going into the next school year, but he will eventually get back to his usual self after a long chat with his mother.
Why are you interested in doing this idea? Jonah can't be sunshine and daisies forever. He's got some growing up to do, and this is one of the first steps in that direction. The event will also serve to bond Jonah and Sonora that much closer together, giving their friendship a deeper connection.
