| 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? You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

Right, so this is the stuff I believe need to be improved or something. I like most of the site, but this is just the only things that I believe need an upgrade. ---- 1. We need a solid storyline. Sure, there's Quidditch, classes, and then some of the stuff that members come up with that only affect a few people, but we need a new Site-Wide plot that involve everyone. Sure, there's the "Unknown" guy, but that still only involves a few people at this point. There needs to be an uprising, or a series of murders, or something that basically puts the school on lockdown. There could be another rising of a dark lord. Maybe it's cliché, but we can make it our own with a few corrections and revisions. Instead of one Dark Lord making a rising, there should be several... and they all fight each other for supremecy. This would give students numerous choices of what to do and what to fight for. There would be the Dark Lord groups and then the Ministry. They are all fighting each other and the students can choose to get engulfed in the darkness, or run towards the light. We can possibly go as far as to the point of where the dark lords start recruiting at Hogwarts like Voldy did; yet there would be more choices and possible consequences. Some of us have some dark childhoods, so we can probably make it so those characters (once they get a high enough year) start recruiting in secret wilst at the school. Before all that can happen, however, we can possibly use Mascacra's parents as a filler until that point. As it seems that they have been losing some control of her, we can make it so an Occlumens cuts her off from their hold and make them go berserk. They would come to the school and then reak havoc for a series of years until a big school wide duel occurs... or something. Maybe like they brainwash some kids and use them as puppets until they can get close to their daughter. Maybe. This is all up to her. So there's the dark wizard plan, and if there are some questions, PM me or Abaddon. We'll try to answer them to your desire. __ 2. So... what happens after we graduate? Is there gonna be some world for our characters out there, or are we just gonna disappear of the face of the earth? That would be drastically counter-productive. Instead of just graduating, and poof - we're gone, we should make an outside world for us to explore. This would round up Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley and all those other riveting locations and put them elsewhere. We could continue with those characters and eventually get married, have kids; and all that other good stuff. Then after that comes the continuing of plot lines and so such. __ 3. Soo.... jobs and stuff. We all need money. There are positions within the ministry and then positions within the school. All teachers eventually get replaced; that's a fact. There could even be student teachers where people that have graduated learn from the teachers on how to teach. For the ministry, the Magical Law Enforcement specifically - Aurors need special training and those that deal with dark wizards need training. So, there needs to be a program for those that join the ministry that learn how to do their jobs. ------ Well, I'm done... mostly. I have a brainfart now and I can't think of anymore ideas; my bad. If there's anything that you think that should be added, or if you need questions answered, PM me or Abaddon. (Now I'm repeating myself.) Thanks for reading. |

I quite like the first idea but we need to come up with a specific event that can occur ebfore we can think of implementing it. The Mascacra parents thing isnt bad. But possibly I like the idea of having someone i school start recruiting people, very Tom Riddle ish. But then againwe sort of already have that with our hardcore Slytherins. As for the jobs after graduation I'm all for that but its a long way off at this stage. |

This isn't meant to offend your idea's Hellius, they are meant to provide an opposition, a counter argument. 1. The idea from good versus bad at school is odd. People must realize, yes Hogwarts is bound to have some odd occurances but, not everytime is there going to be a new dark lord taking over and evil engulfing the school. think about the time line for Harry Potter and the prodigious (main) dark evil wizards, you have Voldemort and Grindelwald. Voldemort appeared in England, and England only, in the 1980's and 1990's. Grindelwald, the last known Dark Wizard before him had his stint ruined in 1945 by Albus Dumbledore. His power and rage was solely in Eastern Europe (Originating, in where most suspect would be Germany, due to Historical context, Grindelwald = Hitler) that means there were 35 years in between Grindelwald and Voldemort and they weren't in the same countries. Dark wizards are extremely rare. Such as with the case of Harry Potter. 2. After we graduate, should all characters survive and complete the seventh year satisfactorily, a ministry of magic will be set up and villages in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley will be set up, where partners (married, dating, etc) can live together and produce offsprings meaning the second generation of characters (meaning names and looks are already completed). In this, it does mean that such things as evil and good will come into play. 3. This has been addressed in number 2. Cheers, John |

I think the 1st idea is a good one, we need something to happen, but not something really too big or obvious. The 2nd and 3rds ones I also think are good but like the others say, thats a bit off Overall some good ideas there |

Yeah something John said there that I've always wondered about. Why did Voldemort stick to jus Britain? If he was so powerful why not set out on conquering the world?! Okay so it's not really relevant but like I say, I've always wondered. Onto relevant stuff-I like these ideas. For the dark lord one we're gonna have to have a whole Ministry and the likes which would also mean more characters for us to play around with. |

Something that I spoke to MA about, and he and I thought it could be a good idea, was playing the role play during the canonical events. That way we would have lots of things for our characters to be concerned with (basilisk attacks, Death Eaters, Voldemort), and the role play would be more linear in the story. I personally don't like the whole Ministry idea because there wouldn't really be anything to RP as adults. |

No offense taken, John. Every arguement needs a counter!  But, onto my approach. If IRC, in this rp, the events in the Harry Potter books never actually occurred. Then again, I could have forgot in the considerable amount of time that I was gone. Oh well. If the things in the book never occurred, then Voldy never rose and a dark wizard has barely been recognized around the world. So, why not make something like that on this site? Since a lot of the Slytherins and several of the other people seem to have a quite dark childhood, then why not have some sort of uprising of all of them once they graduate or something to that extent? Really, if we just stick with Classes and Quidditch as our storyline, then a lot of the members are going to leave because there's barely anything going on and almost nothing that they can participate in. If we have something like I suggested, then more members might come and more members might not leave. It's basically common sense at this point. I know some of the things I suggested are a ways off, but I don't like to say stuff right at the last minute. This is basically for planning ahead so we have a plan for later. There will probably plenty to rp with as adults for there's more to explore; and if part of my ideas (with the war... ect ect) works out, then we will have battles to fight, plans to discuss, and plotlines to go over within the group we are in. But yes, most of this stuff needs revisioning and an actual plan to it; because again, this was just a few ideas to spur some people up into thinking of an actual storyline. Something will come along.... If you want an in-depth idea of the plot I thought of, then tell me - I'll write something up. |

Umm... I would expect Death Eaters in the form of whomever is a dark wizard. Yeah... --- And maybe as a filler for the years that the darker members aren't doing whatever, we can possibly open up the smaller plotlines that many other people have into larger ones. Like with Julian for an example. (This is just an example. It won't happen... ect ect.) With the rising tension of betraying his Slytherin heritage, he runs away from the school. This would open up a man hunt where students start searching for him and so on an so forth. Again, that was an example. It won't happen. |

See the problem I have is that dark magic is far beyond any of the students reach. For anyone in Hogwarts anyway. This is why I agree to the possibility of continuing our characters, as adults. However, I think that until such a time, we have nothing to worry about. The point I was making was that Dark lords are rare. Kelly - Voldemort seemed to take over one country at a time. The eventual achievement of his dream was a world take over. One country symbolism as the representation of the world is seen if a lot of literature. This includes Animal farm. |

Ah, I see now. But there's always the possiblity of wizards becoming evil even when they don't use dark magic. But yeah, I can see what you're saying. |

And then there's the possibility of Mascacra's parents; they can probably come along and reek some sort of havoc. But besides that, I believe it would be better to hold it off until we're adults anyways. We just need some development in that category to give us reasons to be enemies of the world. But as some sort of plots, there could be the possibility of something happening when we try to control powers that we may have. Like I myself will have some sort of power that allows you to manipulate your opponent's brain to control the 5 senses. I'll have an arc where there are several screw ups when I try to control it. Blah... Idk; I don't have an imagination right now. |

The institution of Mascacra's parents would mean the creation of two new characters. I'd assume Mascacra would have to be one of them or both, this however, detracts from the actual rping of the site. Anyone who has multiple characters, surely will agree that one character over rules the other and gets certain preferences and it means a lot more activity then what is currently happening. |

Yes, that's true, but that was just an example. We actually need Mascacra's vote before we can do anything. And another idea just came to my mind a few moments ago. Soo.... what happens between the three schools? (Durmstrang, Beauxbaton, Hogwarts.) Are we just gonna be quiet and not associate, or are there gonna be some sorts of rivalry between all of us? Dunno. That was just a random idea that came to mind. |

Also, I'd like to ask a question to whomever can answer: How long are school years, and is there any sort of summer vacation between all of it? I'd like to make some sort of timeframe around the plotline, but I need to know certain details time itself. Gracias. |

Yes, we need a plot!! Am not feeling very creative atm so forgive me if I just pick holes in other people's ideas. The whole Dark Lord/Evil uprising will be good and is probs gonna happen but for all the normal chars(by that I mean the ones who are going to be opposing evil) there is very little to do.We can't have everyone running out and being the hero. I'm not sayin that I don't like the polt,I do, and like I say it's gonna happen but I just posted this for someone to come up with something creative for these chars(I'm just too damn lazy :P) |

Instead of a Dark Lord type thing perhaps something a bit more original. Think like a major event that is occuring around the school like the Triwizard Tournament or th Chamber of Secrets opening. Something like that is much easier to do, more original, and more realistic in terms of involving the students. Also it gives us a time frame of one year, with each new year we can create soething new, just like the books. So, who has an original idea for a school related occurance? |
