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 got out of the boat which just hit the edge of the lake and then stepped onto the solid ground, then looked up the hill yet again at the giant castle now finally in front of him. The dark sky made him feel even more nervious than when he began. He was now here, standing in the shadow of the giant school which would be his second home for the next seven years. He looked around towards the other boats, and students arriving at the dock that were getting out.

"Finally..." He said to the kids around him.

Sam quikly jumped out of the boat "oh man i hope i never have to do that again" he said while panting. "did any one els see somthing strange in the lake?" Sam asked, "i could have sworn i saw a white snake down there or somthing" Sam kept staring at the lake trying to see if he could see what ever it was swiming in the lake. Sam looked up to see the castle, the thought of what was in there compleatly disapeard and now all he could think about was the castle and what was in it.

Ooc: Sorry about the rowing. I totally forgot. For some reason I got a memmory of the kids having to row

The professor stood proudly as one by one the boats came to the shore. He turned as three students stood shivering wet. One of the girls told him that they had been hit by a wave. Immediatly the professor took out his wand and dried the three students. The professor stood infront of the doors and waited for all the students to get out and for someone to tell him that they were ready for the sorting ceremony to begin.

OOC: Whoops, thanks for taking me along Dave, and Professor... I would have hated to have been left behind. :P Busy week at school.

Jordanna simply sat in the boat and refused to assist in the rowing. She watched as the rest of the people in her boat struggled to pull it along, though she figured one boy and two girls would be enough for two oars.

With a wrench, the boat ran itself onto the sands of the beach, which almost unseated Jordanna, as she was sitting at the back of the boat. Feeling a little embarrassed, but not caring what the silly mudbloods thought anyway, Jordanna stepped off the boat and onto the sandy beach.

ooc: not sure if 10 means am or pm. So thought just to be safe I'd go into the great hall now. Also, how do you do colors on these posts?????

After Nat was dried and warmed she followed her friends and the professor into the massive entrance hall lit warmly with tons of flickering candles.

Gary got out of the boat he had helped row and stood up on the beach. "Wow," he gasped as he saw the castle up close. "I didn't realize that it was so big." Seeming, for once, to be at a loss for words, he mutely followed his companions into the great hall.

Gary has entered the great hall.

Ooc: You are still in the entrance hall and since the great hall is not open you can't go in there.

Bic: The professor opened the door and walked all the students into the entrance Hall. "Listen up, In the room right behind me all your fellow students are ready to watch an annual tradition in Hogwarts known as the ceremony. This will divide you into your houses. You will sleep in your house dormitories take clases with your house mates and eat with your house mates. Your triumphs will get your house awarded points while your trouble making will minus housepoints. You will be able to see how many points your house has in the . At the end of the year the house with the most house points will win the house cup. During your stay in Hogwarts you will not be able to change houses but you are strongly advised to befriend those in other houses despite the competition between you. As soon as they say they are ready we will get started.

Cheers

ooc: what?! what's EST? :( *confuzzled*

bic: Ashy followed the others onto the shore and, to say the least, was relieved they had arrived.
She loitered around whilst Wendy, John and Nat where getting dried off by the teacher.
Soon everyone took off to the Entrance Hall so Ashy followed and was starting to feel excited.

It's all just through those doors...

OOC: Est- eastern standard time lol, like NY and the rest of east US. Is it 10pm est than? Might go to a movie but should be back in time.

BIC: James listened to the professor as he talked and understood all of it. He then waited a bit longer until they were ready to be sorted.

OOC: If you use Windows XP, and you use the automatic time updater thing that requests actual time from Microsoft servers, you can simply change the time zone on your computer (all through right clicking the bottom right clock) and the automatic updater will change it to the timezone's time. Or you can just change your time settings on the board to display EST to check our time.

To do color, you use:

Code:
 
[color=red]test goes here[/color]


Also, you ONLY need to announce your entrance/exits when you leave a thread; since this thread technically spans from Hogsmeade to the Entrance Hall, exit announcements are not needed.

As soon as the boat hit the shore, Addie stowed her oar away and clambered out. Shivering slightly the small girl traveled up to the Entrance Hall with the rest of her peers, and the teacher leading them. She listened nervously, as the teacher explained what was to happen. They would be sorted soon, in front of everyone else. What would they have to do? What was it her mum had said? Something about a hat... but she couldn’t quite remember. She chewed on her lip nervously, glancing to everyone else, trying to see how all the others were feeling.

Gary shivered in the entrance hall. "I hope we get to go inside soon," he said to Sam. "It's freezing out here and I'm starving. I wonder what the food's like. I hope it's good."
Gary looked around and saw that everybody else was huddled around in groups.
There must still be some people rowing across the lake he thought. I hope they hurry up

Ooc: Is the sorting going to be tomorrow at 10 am EST?

Without warning, the doors to the Great Hall swung open, magically, revealing the gargantuan expanse of a room where the rest of the school had already been seated. The Great Hall had five large tables, four that stretched the length of the rectangular room, and one that sat on a platform at the end, where the professors were seated. Each of the four tables held the denizens of the four Hogwarts houses, and above each were the respectively coloured banners and decoration.

After a last minute smoothing of his robes, Professor McDonald began walking forward, bringing the first years along in his wake.
