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?

He gently pulled her back away from him so he could see her face. She still had tear stains leading from her eyes to her mouth but apart from that she had stopped crying.

He gave a small smile, "See? It's all good. Ok?" he said, as he wiped the remaining tear from below her left eye, "Again I'm sorry for bringing that up, but your going to be alright, yeah?"

She hiccuped once and returned his smile, "Yes I will. Thanks to you, Tris. I'm sorry for breaking down like that but I still miss her. But I just allowed myself to get too carried away. Sorry you had to witness it."

Riley looked at the concern and sadness on his face, his glasses with a few tears on the inside.

He was crying....over you... she realised.

He pulled her back into another hug, wrapping his arms around her once more.

"I'll always be there for you, Riley. Always."

Continuing their embrace for a few moments longer, they both released the other and fell back onto their haunches. Riley wiped her face, "Let's move on, I don't want to ruin the day like this."

Tristan lay back against tree, gesturing Riley to sit next to him, but she lifted his arm and snuggled in next to him, draping it around her shoulder for security and comfort.

She, and her new best friend, resumed talking about trivial things, enjoying the dying hours of the day in each others company.

"Thank you, Tris..." she whispered, unsure if he even heard her, not caring if he did.

Tristan allowed his gaze to wonder over the castle itself, taking in its many turrets, slit-like windows, various parts that seemed to jut out at dangerous angles and everything else that made the Hogwarts castle both an architectural wonder and monstrosity at the same time. Yet though unusual looking, it truly did give an awe of magic and the unknwon. Clearly, magic was involved in its construction and continued existence, as any muggle building the same design would have collapsed eons ago.

His eyes fell upon the tallest tower, the Astronomy Tower if he remembered what his guide had said to him. It was directly above the main entrance to the castle and was easily taller than all others; the Ravenclaw tower, the Gryffindor tower and the Owlery.

He had an idea, an idea to make sure that any thoughts of the past were completely pushed from Riley's mind. Without warning, he leapt up and pulled her to her feet.

"Follow me! I want to show you something!" he pleaded excitedly. "Trust me!" with a cheesy, 'trust me' smile.

She laughed at his sudden behaviour but allowed herself to be pulled to her feet. He seemed to have something in mind, and she decided to go along with. She allowed herself to be pulled along as they headed back towards the castle.

Riley, struggling to keep up and still laughing at the silliness of it all, followed him.

Ms Riley Blade, the happiest person in Hogwarts, ran onto the Grounds as if she were being chased by Cerebus himself! She had possibly one of the most valuable items in the wizarding world in her backpack. It was valuable for two reasons: any further information on the founders of Hogwarts was priceless, in particular anything written by them. But not only that, this book was valuable to any student of Hogwarts as it essentially opened up the entire school to his or her pleasure.

No teacher will ever catch me, no bully will ever be able to chase me and curse me, no way will I ever bored again!

She continued to run until she collapsed from exhaustion and exhilaration, looking around her to make totally sure she was alone. No one was in sight except for Sam who was doing whatever he was doing, but he was several hundred meters away. He would not overheard or see what she was reading.

She pulled the book from her bag and held it reverently. Glancing once more to make sure she was alone, she nestled in between two raised roots of a tree which formed a comfortable crevice and opened what would become her Hogwarts Bible. Turning the page that contained the foreword, she came across the contents page.

CONTENTS

Areas of Hogwarts where Students Aren't Allowed (and how to get in them)
Areas of Hogwarts that May Be of Interest
Passages in and Out of the Castle
Secret Passages and How to Access Them
Alternate Routes About the Castle
Concealed Areas of Hogwarts and How they Can Help You
and finally,
Points of Interest for the Youthful Rulebreaker


She turned the first page and began to read with an unquenchable thirst for secrets...

Sam continued carving shapes and letters into rocks, each one finer then the last. pretty soon almost every rock in the little area he was in had some kind of symbol carved into it. "hmm i guess i got kinda carried away" he said to him self. he looked around to make sure no one was watching, he only saw a girl reading a book. Sam looked at one of the few rocks that didn't have anything carved in it. he aimed his wand, muttered the incantation, he concentrated on the flame and got it into a small arc again. he continued aiming it at the rock, it slowly began glowing red, the hole he was carving was getting bigger by the minute. suddenly it exploded and caught the corner of his robe on fire. he quickly put it out before it any noticeable damage happened. explosions seem to be a common thing for me here, he thought to himself

Pausing to look up in amazement at what she was reading, Riley lay her head back against the tree to absorb everything.

Secret passageways exists all over the castle to escape Hogwarts into various other areas all over the place. Most go to Hogsmeade but one goes to the Forbidden Forest and another takes you to beyond the lake.

She flicked back several pages to where she had read about this,

There are seven secret passageways out of the castle. One of the easiest ones to access is behind the statue of the humpbacked witch on the third floor. Tapping this statue with your wand and saying 'Dissendium' will open the statue's hump and allow anyone through to a cellar in Hodsmeade. In our day this cellar belonged to a clothing store, hopefully it will still be a shop rather than a home when you attempt passage.

Another exists on the grounds just to the north east of the castle. This one will be harder to find as it is not indicated by any visible means and one must know where it is to find the hidden handle. All we can give you is the general area approximately 100 steps due north east from the front door. It will take you to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.


The book had continued on in this vein for a bit, describing where each secret passageway was and where it led to. It also told of various secret rooms that teachers would never find unless they actually knew of the room. It told of a room called the Room of Requirement on the seventh floor and how to gain entry, a hidden corridor on the fifth floor which could be entered by saying the password 'Bravery above all else' in front of Boris the Bewildered and "Cunning above all else" in front of Gregory the Smarmy. Two people were required to gain entry here and once you had gained access to the corridor it led down for some time before emerging into a room similar to the Room of Requirement but was much harder to find. The book mentioned how several students during their teaching period had discovered the RoR yet none had ever discovered what they termed the Recondite Room.

We can use this for our party tonight she thought.

Basically there were dozens of other passageways to get about the school and if one knew them all, you would never have to take the main corridors and stairs again.

Carmella entered the grounds

She spotted Jacob lingering near the greenhouses and made her way towards him. She hadn't seem him since she had been crying on his shoulder earlier that day about the burnt trees.

Carmella decided she should act like nothing had happened between them and be calm and sophisticated.

Unfortunatly this plan didn't go as well as she'd hoped because she happened to trip over her feet just as she approached him and ended up quite literally falling into his arms.

Jacob rasied his hand to his eyes to see Carmella aproaching.

"Ah my dea-" He began before she stumbled over his legs and fell on top of him, leaving them both in a heap.

Somehow he managed to straighten himself up and said, "Well now, if I didn't know better I'd say you were "falling for me"! Heh, get it?"

ooc: worst pun ever V. congratulations.

Carmella gave an indulgent smile.

"I do seem to be rather a mess today, don't I" Carmella saw with relief that the horrible was coming to an end with a gorgeous sunset.

"I do hope your day was better than mine."

"Oh now how can I complain when I have you to look at?" Jacob said, touching Carmella's chin.

"Come now," He continued, springing to his feet, "tell me about this day. We shall take a stroll around the grounds for 'tis such a delightful evening".

He took Carmella's hand and helped her up, bowing for her to take the lead.

Carmella snaked her arm through Jacob's and thought back on the day.

" Well of course the whole burning thing was stressful. And then I had to go to the hospital wing to get my lungs cleared up. And to top everything off I just heard Justine and Ed fighting. Again .

She shook her head, "maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never used to fight like that with any of my young men."

Jacob strolled leisurely along. "And I'm sure there were quiet a few hmm?" He asked suspiciously.

He took in big lungfulls of air, "Ah, the great wide open" He said, not really to anybody.

Turning his attention back to what Carmen had said, he replied, "Oh well, that just means plan polar bear will work all the better eh?".

"Panda." Carmella automatically corrected, "I hope so!"

"But knowing those two they'll start dueling with their wands before they drunkenly hook up."

"What? Where?" Jake asked stupidly, looking around for the animal. When he was absolutely sure they were in no danger of a panda attacking them he went back to strolling along, deciding that Carmen must still be drinking.

"Well then we'll just have to make sure there's plenty and plenty of drink!".
