Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

Seventh Year. Lori rocks! But srsly, Morgan is the best! I love Malynne! But not as much as I LOVE ANNA AND LORI. BUT MORGAN STILL PWNS THEM ALL, THE END. I love Meg she is so awesome and epic. Did I mention how silly Jess is?

Full name: David Mark McKelvey
Nickname(s): Dave, which is short for David, and what he prefers to be called, though teachers will most likely refer to him as David, as that is what is listed on class lists.
Gender: Male
Birthdate: April 16, 1996
Age: 16
Year: Sixth
Blood: Pureblood, but it doesn't mean much to him.
Wand: 11 inches, willow. Magical core of a kelpie hair.
Preferred House: Slytherin


Height: 6'1"
Eyes: Yellowish/green colour. They tend to change from each colour to the other randomly.
Hair: Brown hair of moderate length. Always worn down and left untidy.

Physical Description: Dave can be seen as fair-skinned, or pale. He's not bad looking in terms of his face, which has no freckles, but has a very faint scar across his right cheek, which is barely noticeable, which was caused when he was first born, but it is very insignificant, and is rarely noticed by anyone. Dave is tall and lean, as he is a seasoned swimmer during his time away from Hogwarts. In his spare time, Dave is often seen wearing baggy clothes, which usually includes a large, hooded sweater, and baggy jeans. In the summer time, coloured T-shirts are Dave's upper attire of choice. He's not into overdressing and hates fashion, and doesn't aim to be trendy.


Personality: Dave is an extremely independent person who often likes to keep to himself. It is very uncommon for Dave to take the opinions of anyone but himself to heart, as he has many doubts about the intelligence of other people until they prove their potential to him. This is, indeed, a negative quality, which leads Dave to be somewhat self-centered, demeaning, and egotistical. Dave likes to consider himself a self-driven intellectual, not relying on other people for anything. Due to this quality, Dave is usually not very eager to interact with people he is not familiar with. This, however, is also due to Dave's shyness around people he does not know, as he usually fears what others will think of him, and that his attitudes easily lead to other people disliking him.

Around his friends, Dave is often very verbal about things, as he does not like to beat around the bush about anything; he likes to tell things how they are, as he feels that wasting time with euphemisms and the potential embarrassment is pointless. He can be very direct, but this quality is seen as somewhat positive to those seeking guidance from him, as he does not sugar coat anything, and will usually tell the truth. Dave bases his thinking around simple logic, as opposed to his emotions. He will often ignore his feelings to go with what is logical, even if it has a negative effect on his mood.

Dave is much more comfortable around his friends than he is with unfamiliar people, and is much more open when he is around them. Dave's conversations often contain many sarcastic jokes, and double meanings, as he finds humor in them. All around, when he is around his friends, Dave is a positive guy, but when around strange people, he does not like breaking the ice, and prefers to keep to himself. When it comes to friendship, Dave is reliable for guidance and moral support, as friends often come to him with problems, seeing as they know that he will be frank with them; Dave values his friendships, and will do anything to keep his friends happy.

Dave is a very independent thinker, and likes to ask questions when it comes to things he is unfamiliar with. Dave is the type of person that, when he finds out about a new subject he knows nothing about, he will go to many lengths to educate himself to the best of his abilities. He likes to think about philosophical things, and theories, as he feels that thinking about the unknown expands his ability to think creatively when it comes to more practical things. Though Dave considers himself to have a supreme intellect, and he is male, he does not let his feelings of pride, or his ego, take over his personality. He will usually try not to make someone look like, or feel, stupid, unless he has a certain distaste for the person. Though he is male, and is very big, he is not an aggressive person, who avoids physical violence, and violence in general, by any means necessary. The reasoning behind this is that fights never end well, and Dave takes pride in keeping a clean record when it comes to school, and places his grades above all other things.


History: Dave was born in a rural area of North America, where he had lived throughout his entire life. Dave grew up without a father, but rather, with a single mother. He did, however, grow up with a stepdad, to whom he looked up to with great respect, and considered his real dad anyway. Dave was brought up to respect other people, and to have manners, which rubbed off on him pretty well, as he is very courteous when it comes to his elders, such as teachers or people in authority. Dave is an only child, the only other children in his family being his cousins.

Dave's first sign of magic occurred when family problems arose one Christmas Eve. Witnessing a fight between close family members of his, he felt extreme anger at the perpetrators. Clenching his fists, he trembled with rage. He yelled at the top of his lungs for the fighting to stop, and at that moment, all of the windows on that floor of the house shattered violently. During the next summer, Dave received a start as a large barn owl entered his room through an open window, dropping an official looking, sealed envelope into his lap. It was addressed to David McKelvey, Second Door on the Right, McKelvey Residence.


Family: Single mother, father deceased. No siblings.
Pet(s): Morgan. Large, pure white owl, with big, yellow eyes.
Extras: Nimbus 2020
