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?

Entry/exit rules apply.

Your student character can NOT ride their own broom. They will be using one of Hogwarts' ancient Clean Sweeps/Comets/whatevers.

Deputy Headmistress & Flying Teac

Professor Kelly entered the grounds followed by, not only her work and her own broom, but also by the thirty brooms she had taken out of the broom cupboard in the Great Hall.
She walked swiftly down to the spot reserved for Flying lessons and beagn to levitate the brooms to their place on the ground, carefully spacing each one out.

V rushd out into the Grounds and thought, damn it, this place is massive, where do I go?

She had only spent a small time looking however when she came across a small patch with many brooms laid out in two lines.

She smiled when she realised she was the first one there, Well that makes a change.

"Oh, hello" she said, only just noticing the professor.

Mascacra walked onto the grounds for the lesson on Flying.

Flying class....not that intrested....Quidditch is just a piece of rubbish. But, I'm glad that I know how to ride one....

She nodded to the professor with a blank look on her face and stood beside a random broom. She stared at it with an evil glint in her eye.

Flying has to do with air, and air was to do with hanging high up in the air...

She waited for the class to start. She saw a Gryffindor girl there, too.

So....we're alone here, you must be very glad the professor is here, or....ugh. I can't waste a good spell on someone like that, and I promised Mum no more hexing....for now.

Eliana left the building and came out onto the grounds

She saw that the teacher was already there, setting out the brooms. They were not normal, household brooms, but sleeker, thinner and more aerodynamic. She walked over to stand besides V, and that slightly creepy Slytherin girl she had never spoken to.

Wendy Dolington
First Year

Wendy entered the Grounds.

She stood for a moment, looking around the vast grounds, for any sign of the class. Finally her chocolately brown eyes fell on the many brooms and the professor standing wtih them along with Eliana, V, and her fellow Slytherin girl who had yet to introduce herself. She walked swiftly down the sloping field until she came to them. She stopped next to the other Slytherin girl.

"Flying lessons," She mumbled under her breath so only the girl would hear her. "What a bunch of rubbish, right? My father taught me to ride as soon as I could walk."
It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.

Mascacra looked over to the slytherin who had mumbled to her and smirked, agrreeingly. She mumbled back very low so the professor couldn't hear, but the person next to her, could.

"Of course it's rubbish...what's the point? I think the only entertainment is watching people fall to the ground from 20 feet in the air...Hopefully the numbskulls will get a concussion...I know how to ride, too. Father used it to escape everal times in tight situations..."

A glint of satisfaction showed in her eyes.

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

OOC: Yay! I missed my first(second?) class! 3 cheers for being a jackass![/sarcasm]

BIC:

Hellius strolled slowly out to the grounds to begin his first lesson on flying a broom. For one, he was confuzzled why people would ride a piece of wood; yet he was happy that he didn't have to sit through potions. For brooms, you could easily fall off and break a limb. Shaking his head, trying to rid the idea of 'ways you could die from falling off a broomstick,' Hellius continued to the broomstick class.

After several minutes of being a slow idiot, Hellius finally got to the class. When he arrived, he was humming part of his favorite Foo Fighters song quietly to himself.

Liam entered the grounds

Liam came to stand beside one of the brooms, near the rest of the first years that had arrived. The broom seemed to be old, not in very good condition. So far it seemed first years weren't allowed their own brooms however, so these would have to do.

Addie walked out onto the grounds, scanning the area for her classmates. Upon spotting the small group of students she walked over, standing beside Eli.

Silently Addie scanned the brooms frowning, she would make sure to get one of the cleansweeps. Addie glanced to Eli and muttered, "the one on the far right looks kind of shoddy, I think it's a comet, best stay away from it... And if I'm right... The one in the middle might actually be a shooting star, those are ancient, best stay away from that one too..."

Addie glanced around the group, trying to gauge just how many people already knew how to fly, and were silently choosing brooms as she was.

Eliana was walking around the brooms, trying to understand how to distinguish between the brooms. She avoided the ones Addie had pointed out, the comet, the shooting star. She finally came to stand next to one that she thought was a cleansweep. It looked a little worse for the wear, some of its tail twigs were sticking out at odd angles, and the shaft looked a little knobby. From what Addie had told her however, it was better then the older ones.

"Is flying hard?" She asked anxiously. "I mean, can you really get all these injuries? I've never flown before..."

Wendy was talking to the new Slytherin girl. There was something about her Natalie didn't trust, so she went over to the rest of the students and stood between Liam and V.

"Well, I find flying pretty easy, I think you will too. I mean, if you're just flying, it's pretty hard to be injured. After all, you'd have to let go. It's really only dangerous in quidditch, or I guess if you're flying in a storm or something." Addie commented, examining a broom quickly, apparently she approved, because she stopped beside it and glanced back to Eli.

"Cleensweeps and the older brooms are slower and have better control than newer brooms. The thing is though, the older they are here, the more they've been used for training, the shooting star looks a bit wonky, I wouldn't trust it."

Mascacra saw another Slytherin walk onto the grounds and saw her walks towards the Gryffindors.

Disgrace to Salazar Slytherin I suppose...

She smirked and looked back to the girl whom she was mumbling to.

Natalie noticed the new girl give her a long glare.
" If you want to compliment me, come over here and do it to my face." She said, pretending to misinterpret the girl's glare for a look of deep admiration.

Liam Reynolds
Second Year

Liam stared at the strange slytherin girl She certainly seemed to be keeping to herself, although she was now talking to wendy. He noticed that throughout the day she kept shooting poisonus looks at everyone and anyone in range. "What's her problem?" he mumbled.

He stared around at the ancient broomsticks that littered the field, his lip curling slightly. He wondered how they were expected to fly properly on these old things. He longed for his nimbus, but in the end he chose a cleansweep and stood next to it posessively. They did have good stearing at least, which would be good for new fliers.

Mascacra raised an eyebrow at the girl who told her something.

"Well, you look particularly hideous today. I love your acrorned color hair...."

She smirked evilly.

"I love how it's so curly....must be bad for you since it's winter..."

The look in her eyes shown pure hatred.

She'll be my first....nice to go with my collection...

She then smiled in satisfaction.

ooc: Scacra, you are tooooooo creepy.

"Darlin,' there is no reason for you to be so smug. Have you looked in the mirror at all recently?"
Natalie shot Wendy a look. It clearly said, go with her or come with me. If our friendship means anything at all, you will take my side.

Natalie turned her back on the strange girl whose face was red with anger. Her eyes blazed crazily and she had a twisted smile on her lips. It actually frightened Nat to see such fury on hate on such a young, and otherwise pretty face.

Liam was studiously avoiding the girl's confrontation. She turned to him and said, "tell me which broom to use-I'm utterly hopeless at flying and can't tell one end from the other."

Addie frowned slightly, glancing over to Mascacra and Natalie. "This doesn't look good..." She muttered to Eli, glancing at the pair again.

There were still a lot of people she hadn't spoken to yet, that she would like to meet or get to know better. People like Liam, or Wendy and Nat.

Then there were people like Mascacra who she was more hesitant to meet. She knew she shouldn't be so quick to judge, but she seemed mean.

"Well, out of this selection," he said, smirking slightly, "You'll want a cleansweep, like this one." He pointed to the one at his feet. "Whatever you do, don't go for the shooting star. That one was probably around when the headmistress went to school." He cast an uncomfortable look at the mysteriously furious slytherin, and then looked away again quickly, feeling the hatred in her eyes wash over him.
