Okay, so, the creedy spreading pernicious nostalgia may be creepy, but this bit of Daphne is glorious.

I'm enjoying it too, and I couldn't guess why, but I think @teceler is right, it has to do with the journals.

Who cast it, though, and what was the spell, and where? At Percy's funeral? Surely they couldn't get EVERYBODY at the funeral, but maybe all the people anyone cared about? But then Barty and Tosha would be doing it too. Unless they cast it? Ow, my head hurts from all this surmising.

No sooner do you say that, than...

I think I'd be enjoying it too if I wasn't so busy being distracted by a looming sense of DOOM

[ladyrelaynie]

I have to admit, I'm also slightly (majorly) curious about who else might be moved to remember, and write about it. Can you IMAGINE the possibilities?

Reason #349 why I love Alternity. Characters: "Let's share some fond memories!" "...a lot!" Fen: "DOOM!"

Okay, has to be at the funeral, Draco's snarking at people over it now, so it's not something more general.

[teceler]

But people who weren't there (Sirius, Lupin, presumably Snape) are also catching some of it.

...I am puzzled.

[kiya]

... true. It is a puzzlement, as the man says.

[teceler]

Okay, how's this for a theory. It's some kind of contagious magical effect, someone carried to the funeral, and someone carried it to the beer garden and it spread from there to Grimmauld... except... Draco hasn't been around any of the relevant parties?

The tricky part is Snape, really, why he would be affected and Draco wouldn't.

I was toying with the theory that it was spreading through the journals, to people private messages were sent to, but that again rules out Draco. Or Barty for that matter (hasn't answered Antonin's).

But maybe they're immune for some reason?

ETA: apparently not immune, in Barty's case. Why everyone but Draco?
