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?

The Grounds; Day 4, Waiting for Herbology (Period 3)

Riley ran for the Greenhouses, trying vainly to shield herself from the pelting rain. She hoped beyond hope that the Professor was early and the greenhouses unlocked so she could escape into the warmth and dryness. Yet her expression turned to one of dismay as she found it locked securely. Whipping her wand out, she attempted to unlock the door but knew the Professor would have used a far more advanced locking spell to keep out intruders. Regular drops of rain splattered her body as she attempted to hide under the edge of the building.

Tristan made his way through the main entry doors and across the lawns, heading for the Herbology Greenhouses. It was always a pleasant change to escape the castle and get outside for a while, yet today this wasn't the case. Rain was pelting down and thunder continued to clap overheard, the occasional strike of lightning slashing across the grey sky. Tristan attempted to hold his bag over his head and was running madly for the cover of the greenhouses, only to reach them and find himself and Riley locked out. A groan of horror escaped his lips and he joined his friend huddled against the glass wall.

Leslie pushed open the castle's heavy front doors to find herself facing a frenzy of pelting raindrops. She groaned unhappily as she thought of how wet she was going to get on the way to the greenhouses before taking a deep breath and running out from the warm, dry indoors.

She kept up her quick pace all the way across the grounds, pulling up only when she arrived at the herbology door. Seeing Riley and Tristan already waiting outside, she groaned again, "Locked out?! Oh, owl droppings!" She fumbled with the catch on her school bag for a moment before thrusting an arm deep within it and pulling out a tiny umbrella. She pressed a button on the handle and it sprung open, bright yellow and flowery. "Mum likes to always be prepared," she said to the other two, smiling through the rain. "It may be covered in flowers, but it's better than getting all numb and cold from this," she said, indicating the storm and holding out her little bit of shelter so they could stand under it as well.

An idea suddely occurred to Tristan, born from their previosu class. He flicked his hand and his wand holster ejected it ready to use. He always loved doing that! Yet he aimed his wand above their heads where they stood and set about conjuring as much Bluebell fire as he could. Since it was waterproof hopefully it would stop the rain from hitting them.

"Permoveo Incendia. Permoveo Incendia." He had to cast the spell several times but after a minutes intense concentration a simple, yet effective, covering of Bluebell flames was absorbing the brunt of the raindrops and the three of them stood underneath, drying from the heat of the flames and all looking eeerily blue.

"Am I a genius or what?"

"Oh, that's brilliant!" Leslie exclaimed, smiling in relief as Tristan proceeded to create a little roof of fire. She hastily packed away her umbrella and held her hands up to the flames so they would get warm. "I never remember spells when I need them for practical things like this," she said, laughing at herself.

"I'm not in Ravenclaw just because I'm pretty, ya know," a smug look on his face. Yet he couldn't keep that up and laughed. "How'd you shape up after yesterday?"

Addie entered the lawns walking along at her own pace, not bothering to start into a run. She had conjured her own little flame upon stepping outside the doors and held it to her chest with one hand, while her other levitated her bag above her to shield her from the rain. Addie did like the rain, she loved watching storms especially. The only thing she wasn't too keen on was getting soaked.

Eventually Addie reached the group huddling by the greenhouse, a smile on her lips. "Well, you lot certainly don't seem thrilled, weather got you down?" She smiled and shivered, holding her bluebell flame closer. She conjured one or two more to place on top of her bag, to help dry it off while it continued to shield her.

"Do you think the professor will be around soon?"

He held up his hands mockingly in self defence, "Hey, I've got nothing against rain, in fact I love it! But I'm getting saturated here! Professor DeMedardo always seemed a bit trippy, she's probably forgotten she has us." Occasionally Tristan would have to conjure more flames to seal gaps where previous flames had faded away. All in all though it was a rather clever idea if he did say so himself. A hissing sound was issuing from the flames as the water was evaporating immediately upon touching it. He also realised that his Cheering Charm had finally worn off and the situation with Julian came flooding back, this time the negatives were able to come to the forefront of his mind.

Friggin' Julian! Always making things difficult. I can't believe I actually apologised but you'd think he'd at least consider the notion. Wanker!

Leslie laughed at Tristan's smug reply before responding to his question, "Yesterday? It was pretty good, besides that little episode in the Three Broomsticks, anyway. I haven't actually seen Mascacra since then, come to think of it. …How was your day?" she added with a twinkling eye. She was aware that he had spent the trip with Addie, and she personally thought that they were rather cute together. It was then that Addie suddenly came up behind her. "I've got no problem with this weather, I'd just rather be warm and dry than cold and damp, that's all," she said with a laugh, easily recovering from the shocked silence she'd fallen into upon seeing the girl appear so unexpectedly.

ooc: 'tis true - your chars with your sports and your smarts - oh so cute ;) ...if you don't mind my saying... lol

ooc|| Aww! Why thank you Leslie xD

Addie dried off a spot on the ground, before settling in to wait for the professor. She shivered and conjured more flames, basking in their warmth contently. She was beginning to remember the Julian episode as well, and his comment about her. She glanced to Tristan, a faint frown on her features. She felt bad about what had happened, no doubt Julian would continue to rub it in.

Addie had heard the last bit of Leslie's comment, soon realizing they were talking about the Hogsmaede visit. A faint blush crept to her cheeks at the thought.

Leslie watched as Addie took a seat on the ground and noticed the frown that she was wearing. She sat down as well and glanced at the other girl with a look of concern, "Something wrong?" she asked, knowing full well that if there was, Addie had no reason to be telling her. The girl would have plenty of friends that she had met last year who she would be far more eager to talk to, besides Leslie had only met her the other day and had hardly spoken with the Gryffindor, but she felt that it was her duty to ask. After all, how was she supposed to get to know anybody any better if she didn't show a concern when they seemed upset about something?

"Just thinking. Julian was his usual self in Defense, as always." She commented frowning and crossing her arms, hugging one of the pretty blue flames close. "Honestly, there's got to be some way to stop him, and the others. I don't know how we'll make it through the year, let alone until Christmas. Would hate to have them dampening the holidays."

Leslie simply nodded in response to Addie's statements. She hadn't realized until that moment the lack of time she'd spent with her own house-mates, but she had gathered quite easily that most Slytherins didn't get along with Tristan, Addie, Riley and the rest of that group. She began to feel rather awkward sitting there - being a Slytherin herself - so she decided to try and change the subject. "Speaking of which," she said after Addie commented on the holidays, "Are you guys all planning on hanging around the school, then? For Christmas and that?" she expected the answer to be 'yes' so she continued, "What do you guys do, exactly? With no classes? Do you just... run around and cause general mayhem?" she ended sarcastically.

Riley piped up from off to the side, still basking in the warmth of Tristan's conjured flames, "Can you think of any other way to spend Christmas with minimal supervision? The previous Christmas was some of the best fun I've had here. Honestly, you'll love it. if you choose to stay that is." Riley herself was in the way of thinking that she saw plenty of her parents over the break between years; she was entering that stage of her life when she enjoyed being with her friends rather than her family.

Riley too noticed that something was wrong with Addie, who was wearing a slight frown. She plopped herself down beside the Gryffindor, nestling into her for warmth as friends do, "Everything cool, Addie?" Riley was actually somewhat surprised and confused as to why the pair of them hadn't become better friends as both were near identical in nature. Both were the bookish, clever types and both had a fond passion for Quidditch. Then again perhaps she isn't too happy about your obvious feelings for Tristan. She grimaced internally at this thought and attempted to ignore it. She hoped that wasn't the case.

Tristan conjured a few more Bluebell fires and positioned almost like a small igloo around the gathering of some of his closest friends; he was getting quite good at that spell. He twirled downards on the spot, resulting in him sitting cross-legged across from the huddled mass of Addie and Riley, a smirk on his face, "Don't let Julian get to you, then he wins. He's a wanker anyway. Besides, we were all so happy at the time it didn't even bother me. Even now it doesn't."

Tristan decided that the blue was rather dull and he'd like to add some orange to it. He muttered 'Flagrate' and set about adding some thin lines of orange and red to the blue, playing dot-to-dot with his conjured Blebell flames. In the end it looked like something had exploded but frozen an instant later, blue and orange flickering eeerily yet with a beautiful warmth and dryness.

He grinned at his handiwork, "You guys thinking of staying here for Christmas? Or head hme to see your folks?" As he finished his words he began to hum a muggle song queitly: Step one you say 'we need to talk'. 'You what?' You say 'sit down it's just a talk'.

Riley tilted her head from side to side, "Not too sure. I feel like maybe I should go home and see them, but I'd really prefer to stay with you guys. I do miss them, but also enjoy being away from them." She began to pick at the wet grass and shred it aimlessly, "I just don't know. How about you? I'm sure the 'Nightshades' are dying to see you again. I've met your parents, I know what their like." She grinned as Tristan's mother was every bit the doting (sp?) mother and adored her precious son. Having said that she found her to be a lovely person and got along with her splendidly.

OOC - Hope you don't mind me making up this little back story.

OOC: Nah all good mate.

"Hey now, don't you be dissin' my mumma," Tristan joked in an American accent. "My mumma be a saint, girlfriend! Mmhmm!" He flicked his finger from side to side in mock irateness before giggling at how he must look. He checked is watch, "Man, wish the Professor would hurry up."

"I'm pretty sure I'll be staying here for the holidays. My Mum and Dad usually go to some tropical island anyway, so they probably won't mind," she said happily. She didn't try to conceal her excitement about what the others had said Running around the castle, no classes, this is going to be great! She was definitely in the 'Christmas spirit' now - she was feeling nearly as happy as she had with the cheering charm.

ooc|| The Fray! <3

bic|| Addie smiled faintly as Riley curled up beside her. The girl shrugged faintly and rested her head against Riley's. "I guess you're right. We can't let him get to us."

She was a little surprised by Riley's friendliness, but happy none the less. She'd wanted to become better friends with the girl who seemed to share so many similarities with herself. Of course, she was afraid that Riley still had feelings for Tristan, and wouldn't like her because of that. At the moment, that didn't seem to be the case, and Addie relaxed, cheering up quite a bit.

"I'm not sure yet whether I'll stick around or not. I know my parents would like to see me again..." She bit down on her lip thoughtfully. "Though running around the castle with you lot sounds like it would be fun." She commented smiling brightly.

Tristan noted with interest Addie and Riley's displays of freinship towards each other, failing to recall any previous time when the pair had really bonded. Which was strange because they all hung out together so often. Still, it didn't bother him in the slightest, quite the contrary as he wanted to see Riley making other good friends, particularly a girl who could be there for her in ways Tristan couldn't.

"What do you reckon? Think I should go find another Professor? I'd rather be inside doing something than out here freezing." However, as soon as the words had elft his lips he spotted Professor Aphelion striding across the lawn and unlocking the Greenhouse. He glanced at his friends, shrugging, and followed after him.
