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?

James saw the fire go out and he hopped out of the boat.
"I think I remember learning how to start a fire the muggle way. Let me give it a try, I just need some wood and dry grass if there is any around here."
He looked around at the damp ground near the lake.

"Well no luck here. Oh! Over there." He walked over to see some grass and branches on the ground, what a convenience."
He kneeled down to grab the supplies and walked back to the boat.
"Let's hope this works..."
He started rubbing the sticks together but they did not work.
"Maybe... let's try some rocks."
He then grabed two rocks around the size of a fist and started smacking them together to get sparks. Successfully, he made some. He brought the dried grass closer to him and tried it again till there was a small flame which lit up the area.

Jordanna stood around, looking curt, and waited for the teacher to assign her a boat.

"Ugh, forget this," she muttered to herself, and she hopped into one of the empty boats. All the other boats were full, but there were still first years who weren't even there yet.

Jordanna sat down on one of the seats in the boat, rubbed her arms to keep herself warm, and waited for the rest of the people.

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?

Dave stepped off the train, piled his trunk and owl's cage on top of the existing pile, and made his way over to the other first years, who were crowded around the teacher near a beach.

When Dave arrived, he noticed the presence of the boats, and the professor explained that they would be using them to cross the lake to reach Hogwarts.

I could probably swim all the way across there; I wonder if we're allowed to swim here on our free time...

Seeing as Dave barely spoke to anyone on the train, he had not really made many friends, as opposed to all the others, who all had their own little groups formed and packed their boats.

Dave looked around for Addie, mainly because she was like the only person he really spoke to. He watched as Jordanna clambered into an empty boat, and saw that it had three empty spaces. He continued looking around, until his eyes rested upon Addie, and then Venessa.

"Hey Addie, Venessa," Dave called to them. "Why don't we go on this boat?"

OOC: Trying to move us along :P

Ooc: As students wanted to go I hope some students don't mind but I wrote out a boat list of where everyone is.

Boat 1: John, Wendy, Nat and Ashleigh
Boat 2: Gary, James, Hellius and Sam
Boat 3: Addie, Jordana, Vanessa and David
Boat 4: Myself, Jason and Ophelia.

This is how the actions have panned out since Jason and Ophelia are the last two to arrive they had to be with the professor as there is no more room.

Bic: "Alright now could all of you pick up the oar on the side of the boat you are closest to and start paddling towards the castle" the professor said pointing up at the castle. The professor then hoped in the boat with the two other students and picked up an oar on either side and started helping them paddle across the lake towards the castle. "Just try and follow me" said the professor who was leading the way with long powerful strokes. He had been very active and was very fit due to the fact that he played a lot of quidditch when he wasa bit younger but then he gave up and pursued a teaching career in charms.

John looking around seeing other students picking up the oars on the instructions did so to. He then proceeded to start rowing but as he turned around he saw the professor rowing. John watched the professor rowing and it looked so smooth taking long strides. His oars bearly went into the water yet he was moving so fast. It was like watching the muggle olympics. John turned around and said "better start rowing if we want to make it ito the feast on time".

John had begun to row vigorously, but since no one else was, the boat began to turn in circles.

"This is such bollocks!" Nat cried. "Are we wizards for nothing? Why can't someone just fly the bloody boat across the water."

John gave a particularly hearty stroke and accidently splashed some freezing water in Nat's eye.

SHe cried out and gave him a dirty look.

She then resignedly took the oar and gave a hesitant stroke. The boat stopped spinning and gave a small surge forward. Nat looked at the other girls and said, "come on then, the faster we row the faster we get there. And if we don't get there with in ten minutes, so help me God I will jump overboard and swim."

John saw his last oar come out of the water and splash Nat in the face. "Sorry" John said.

This isn't as easy as it looks

John turned around and saw the castle coming into view. John got excited, the castle was beautiful. The problem was in his excitement he accidentally splashed Nat and Wendy with an oar full of water.

Nat turned on John in fury.
"You imbecile!" she cried. "I'm soaked thanks to you."

But Nat wasn't one to dwell on her anger- she liked to act.
She dug the oar deep into the water and whacked a wall of water towards John.
She noted with satisfaction that he was at least as wet as she was.

"Now that that's done, I can go back to liking you." Natalie said with a sweet smile.

Ashleigh Beckston
First year

ooc: if this is canon, how come we have to row? they're magically pulled aren't they? but if you instruct..lol

Ashy took hold of the oar at her side and began to row just as the other were. It took a while to get a rhythm going but she was doing ok, despite not getting a rhythm anyway.

She watched John and Nat throw water at each other but Ashy daren't say anything as she feared that if she so much as said a word she'd fall in which, being honest, wasn't something she'd prefer to do at the time being.


ooc:why is it that everyone's just gone inactive all of a sudden? <_< (just wondering :P)

ooc; Uh... Yeah, that's my question too, they're pulled by magic, why are we rowing? Sorry for not being on, school is rude like that.
bic:

Addie had clambered into the boat with Dave, Jordanna and V, and as the teacher instructed, took an oar. "You'd think they'd use magic, it'll take forever to row across, most of us probably aren't good at rowing at all."

If we see a man glorifying his race, gender, or creed, we can understand there is nothing about himself that deserves glorification.

Hellius was sitting in the boat when he heard this news.

"Are you kidding me?! We have to row the boats?! Isn't a school for wizards and witches supposed to have everything involve magic?! No! I don't do physical labor!" Hellius exclaimed.

Hellius let his hand and arm fall on the side edge of the boat and he kicked his feet up and let them stretch out.

I'll help if they really need it.

Hellius yawned.

"We seem to be moving, instead of just going around in circles," Hellius said sarcastically. He looked around and stretched a bit. "Fine."

Hellius grabbed a paddle and started rowing with one hand, still having his legs stretched out forward.

Wendy Dolington
First Year

Wendy just sat shocked at her robes were all soaked in water from John's oars.

"John!" She yelled, angerly. She brushed at the water, forgetting her oar all together. "This better dry before the sorting." She mumbled and then seeing that Nat had already gotten over it, tried to smile.

"But it's only clothes, right?" She chocked out, trying to be nice to her newly formed friends. She picked up her oar again and started to row once more. She could start to see the castle now, but tried to hide her atonishment.
It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.

John felt a weight crashing against him and realised that Nat had soaked him in water. John then, for no reason at all, burst into hysterics. As he turned around again he almost dropped his oar. "We've made it. Woo hoo" John said as the oar almost slipped out of his hands again. Then the small boat crashed into a sort of dockand John almost fell out not that it would have made a difference as himself, nat and Wendy were very wet already. The professor who had already arrived was now standing next to large wooden doors.

Both Natalie and John were giggling when they hit the dock with a clunk. She clamored out of the rickity boat her teeth chattering.
Making sure her friends were all with her, Nat shook back her wet, bedraggled hair and sashyed up to Prof. McDonald.
"Please Professor" she said in a sweet voice, "a rougue wave hit our boat and I'm afraid I'm all wet. Could you possibly dry me off?"

Dave smiled as John, Natalie, and Wendy proceeded to soak each other on the ride across the lake. He and Addie had taken to rowing, whereas Jordanna simply sat, attempting to look like royalty, and wouldn't do any work to help.

When the boat had finally beached itself on shore, Dave stepped out into the sand. He was dry, but as for John and company, they were pretty much soaked from the neck down.

I'm surprised their boat didn't sink with all the water weight, plus Wendy's fat head.

OOC: No offense. :D
