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?

Flying Lessons; First Years

Deputy Headmistress & Flying Teac

Justine descended the stone steps that led to the ground and made her way to the clear patch of ground where the Flying lessons took place.

Raising her wand, she pointed it at a small shed not far away, and said, "Accio Brooms". At once a dozen or so brooms burst out of the shed and flew to Justine, who spread them out on the ground using her wand.

Using her wand as a pen, she wrote in mid-air as if on a board.

Good Afternoon. I'm Professor Kelly, the flying teacher and today for our first class we'll just be going over the basics. Don't worry if you've never flown before, we'll be taking things nice and slow.

First things first, I'd like to find out who has previous experience on a broom and who hasn't. If you play Quidditch I'd also like to know what position you play.

Now I'd like to volunteer to demonstrate the correct way to mount a broom.


Justine read over the silvery writing then turned to wait for the class to arrive.

Ella arrived at the flying lesson, apparently lost in thought. Taking advantage of the fact that she was first, Ella began looking at the brooms for one that wasn't falling apart. Spotting the old cleansweep that she had once used in a game, Ella went to stand next to it. After reading the words that the Professor had written, she said "erm, Professor? I'm on the Slytherin team...captian, in fact. I play Keeper, but in the last game I played a little chaser too...."she trailed off, shrugging.

Evie arrived just moments after Ella. "Why did you leave me by the lake?" Evie questioned. "Also, what are you looking at? Are you okay, you look..." Evie paused, "you look different."

Ella sighed as Evie arrived and began her rambling once again. "to answer your...questions, I left because we had class, i'm looking at what we're supposed to be doing, and I do not look different!" she hissed under her breath, glancing at the professor.

"Okay, sorry, didn't mean to offend you." Evie replied. Seeing that Ella seemed extremly annoyed she backed away and looked at the professor. After a few moments of looking at the professor Evie moved off to stand by herself, staring at the ground and biting her nails.

August made her way across the lawn[/color and joined the Professor, Ella and another Slytherin by a pile of broomsticks. She picked out a decent looking Cleansweep and placed it on the ground before her. She wished she could use her newly purchased broom but decided not to press it.

As she had been walking down to Flying class a cascade of smells had assaulted her nose as she passed the Great Hall. She longed to eat something first but still had this final lesson to get through.

She raised her hand, "I play Keeper on the Gryffindor team, Professor."

Clif entered the grounds

Clif walked to his flying lesson. Already knowing how to fly on a broom he simply hoped that the more advanced fliers would not need to bother with the basics. Though he highly doubted that. Though on that note, Clif remembered the game against Slytherin, it wasn't your fault Clif tried to think. It was hard to lose, especially to Slytherin, after hearing so much from his dad about classic victories.

Clif stood next to August and smiled. "Hey, how've you been?" Clif said, happy that he was in flying class, and now he had a chance to talk. They had been so busy with classes there wasn't much time for anything but learning especially with the difficulty of the content. The only subject Clif seemed to be excelling in was potions. Still his mother would be pleased.

OOC: Is there a chance of having christmas coming up or do we have any plans for some sort of holiday thing?

OOC: I'm cool with it. Will be good to escape classes for a bit. SOme studnets can leave, others can stay, could be good if people are willing to make the storyline work.

Rule #76: No Excuses. Play Like a champion!

Justine looked around at the class, disappointed at seeing only four.

"Are we waiting for many more?" She asked.

After reading the sheet twice over Clif raised in his hand. "I'm on the Gryffindor quidditch team, I'm the chaser, I usually fly at home with my dad. He used to be a chaser with the (enter team name here). I can mount a broom" Clif said excitedly.

He stood next to a broom, "UP" He commanded, Then he straddled the broom, itching to take off.
