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?

Professor Nate Aphelion
Member Avatar
Deputy Headmaster & Transfiguration Professor

Nate walked briskly across the wet grounds of Hogwarts, thankful that it had stopped raining at least for now. He spotted several students sitting under the trees eating some food stuffs and giggling as children do. A brief smile flicked across his lips before his eyes fell upon the Forest, his mood darkening instantly. The group reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "Here we go. And remember Charles: non-lethal force. If your not capable of following that order and getting 'trigger happy' then I don't think you'll be needed." Ever since receiving the illustrious title of Head of Slytherin House, Charles had gotten even more.....Charles-like, a problem he knew would one day cause serious upsets about the place.

Nate entered the Forbidden Forest.

Banni followed Nate into the forest with a newly-made longbow (to replace the one he'd lost the last time he'd ventured into the forest) in his left hand, and a quiver-full of arrows on his back.

Julian stopped in the middle of the Grounds, "Now, Addie. I want to show you something that hopefully will help you see things clearly. But you have to come with me into the Forest." He knew this statement would likely get a rebellious retort but he knew how to handle Gryffindors.
Are you my next victim? Are you my next prey?

Addie emerged onto the grounds, not even bothering to wait for the pesky Slytherin tailing her. The girl stuffed her hands into her pockets and turned her attention up to the sky absently, waiting to hear whatever threats Julian would come up with this time.

"So, get on with it then. What do you wan-" She froze, glancing to him incredulously. "The Forest? Why should I go anywhere, let alone there, with you? What could you possibly show me in the Forest?"

He shook his head, "If I tell you it won't be a surprise, will it? I gave you my word that you wouldn't be harmed. Anyway, aren't you Gryffindors supposed to be brave? And chivalrous? Breaking one's word because your scared of the Forest is hardly a model Gryffindor, wouldn't you agree?" He knew that by twisting the right handles he'd get her to follow; the house card was the easiest way to manipulate anyone.

"Who knows why I was put in Gryffindor, I don't feel particularly brave." She commented, clearly unaffected by the taunt. It wasn't hard to figure out what he was doing, a good portion of the time, Julian's mind games weren't too hard to figure out.

"I was in the Forest last night. Why would I want to go back again today?" She asked, glancing to him and raising an eyebrow.

"Why indeed." Taking this as an admission of affirmation he took her hand gently, yet forced her to follow him into the Forest.

Arthwen Eruwaedhiel Clover
Fourth Year

Arthwen entered the grounds and walked over to the lake. Watching the raindrops bounce on the surface she took a seat by a tree, waiting to hear the bell ring. She noticed some noises coming from the forest but ignored it. She was safe on the grounds... away from there. Arthwen wanted to draw but she knew that the paper would get wet and didn't know whether or not the water repelling charm would repel ink too. She decided to try it. She took out her wand and some paper and made it waterproof. She then got out her ink bottle and a quill and tried to draw on it... and a thin line appeared on the paper. Pleased with herself she attempted to draw a dragon.

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

The fresh blood that had drenched the boy's flesh made him feel invigorated! He felt the adrenaline--the sheer, inflaming adrenaline-- pulsing through his veins! He felt as light as feather, and even despite the chase that was probably initiated behind him, Hellius wasn't worried in the least. The thrill of the chase had begun for the boy which in other circumstances he would've found annoying, but now, he wasn't concerned with punishments in anyway whatsoever! He had accomplished the leeches tasks, and he was to be rewarded; no more trivial instructions were needed.

His feet stomped furiously onto the stone floor, the sound echoing lightly as he exited onto the grounds. The wind that passed through Hellius' hair which was wet from the blood increased with each passing moment; he wanted to separate as much land between him and whatever professor may be following. However, as he sprinted across the grounds, the back of his eye sockets felt as if they were being stabbed furiously. He fell forward and skidded across the wet grass about 5 meters before coming to a complete stop.

Do you realize what sort of shit you'll be going through now?!

"I don't care!" He yelled into the cloudy night sky as he clutched at his eyes.

Everything grew quiet and Hellius lay there completely silent with his eyes covered. He stared at the sky as he slowly pulled his hands from his eye sockets. Seeing his left hand which was covered with a small layer of blood which was still wet, he licked it once with the tip of his tongue to sample it. This blood was an odd taste; it was sour and seemed watered down. Frowning, Hellius licked the rest clean.

Staring at his hand for a little longer, Hellius soon cringed as a rain drop fell onto his forehead; it was soon followed by more drops of water until it was a complete downpour. He stood up and looked around cautiously through the pouring rain.

Arthwen had followed Hellius out to the Grounds. "I see you don't care!" She said, getting into his face, wand out. "I see you don't care about anything or anyone at all, do you!" She fired her wand at him. "Cloutus!" She shouted.

Nate could not recall a time he had moved so quickly nor been so angry over the actions of a student. Hellius had always been a problematic student but to attack another student so viciously and without provocation....Nate feared the worst for the boy's future at the school. With his shoulder lowered, Nate burst through the large, double doors and into the Grounds, spotting Hellius and another student both with wands drawn.

He ripped his own wand from his robes, the bonsai wood tingling as if it sensed the anger coursing through its owner. "EXPELLIARMUS!" he roared, seething with anger. He repeated the spell twice and disarmed both students just to be safe.

He reached the pair and saw the other was another third year, Ms Clover - a Hufflepuff. "Ms Clover, why are you out here? Mr Surla will be dealt with and it is not your place to take matters into your own hands." Deciding that perhaps he had been too harsh on the girl, who was obviously upset over what had happened to her friend, he reverted to a more gentler tone, "Perhaps you can go assist Mr Nightshade in the Great Hall as he takes care of Ms Edkins." He glanced at Hellius, "I will deal with Mr Surla."

Drawing himself up to his full height, he approached the boy with malice, his eyes flashing, "What the hell do you call that despicable display back there? How did you expect to escape unpunished by attacking a student right in front of me!?!?"

Arthwen, enraged now, yelled back at the teacher. "What'd you do that for?! He needs to be shot." She yelled back. Then seeing that the teacher was taking 'care of it' she started looking for her wand, pissed.

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

Hellius turned to the girl as she fired a jinx at him and then waved his wand, yelling out obscenities mixed with a spell incantation that was actually managed to be cast alongside the cursing. His anger was released in an immediate implosion and he hissed in a sadistic urge to kill and destroy. As soon as his wand was about to make a specific (and not so recognizable) pattern, the Gryffindor's wand was blasted from his hand by another force. It was different than a students'... more powerful.

Turning his head in the direction that it came from, Hellius glared at the sight of Professor Nate Aphelion. He as well was steaming and the Gryffindor could just about see the heat rising from his head that was about to erupt. As the boy was about to say something, the professor began on his own rant; his voice erupting to the point of where he sounded almost as if he was inside of his ear. Clutching at his head, Hellius leaned over and gritted his teeth in an effort to stop a ringing that was echoing through his head. It grew louder with each passing moment until finally, he couldn't take it anymore. The young Surla yelled out into the air at the top of his lungs with a blood curdling scream, until he fell backwards and smashed onto the ground with a large boom!

All was silent from the boy's direction. What seemed like an echo flowed through the air until there was complete nothingness. A small crackling noise followed from the silence that evolved into a more vibrant cracking noise. It sounded like a dagger being stabbed through pieces of cardboard at first, but after, it sounded more like the blades of swords clashing against each other. Eventually, it slowed down, and then stopped. More silence followed.

For a moment, nothing happened, but slowly and steadily, a maniacal laugh emitted from Hellius' body. It was a dark, deep, raspy laugh that was completely different than the Gryffindor's usual voice.

"Oh dear," Flauros hissed. "Dear Nate Aphelion to the rescue again. My, my…" Rising to his feet without any other bodily assistance, the body of Hellius looked back at the professor with a maniacal smirk. "I'm sure that the boy would call it something differently, but I assure you, that display was something I was the mastermind behind. You see… it was to prove a point, Nate Aphelion; no matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, because of the policies of the school, professors are completely unable to respond in any despicable manner that would put students at risk. But even so, there are plenty of hazards that put students in danger: Other students, the massive force of red caps that dear Mr. Surla was involved with two nights ago, centaurs, and possibly even outer forces that are beyond your current ability to recognize. Because of these factors, Nathan Aphelion, anything you manage to do practically goes unheard of in anyone's head simply because there are no punishments that can truly leave an indentation into the students' heads.

To Mr. Surla, you could send him to St. Mungos, but because of me, I will not allow it. If you manage to package him up and send him away, I will kill him and I simultaneously. Because you knew of the factors that came with sending us to the hospital, you would be charged with murder and essentially end up in Azkaban. So, I ask you, would you rather end your life in misfortune, or risk students' safety that's already being challenged every day they are at this school. Some days it will be bad, or some days would be worse. I hope you realize that. But… a wizard of your stature doesn't need to be locked up instead of making a change where it actually matters.
"

Flauros paused and his red eyes glowed through the darkness. Another sound emitted, this one sounding like a rough stone being scratched against a blade. A sharp, spike-like wand grew from his wrist and then dropped to the ground below him. He cackled.

"I wanted to talk to you personally, especially after that little chore you sent Hellius and Julian on quite awhile ago. Bravo with that," Flauros continued. "But honesty, Nate Aphelion, this boy's fate is within my hands. You wish him to stop, so be it. He has successfully completed everything that I wanted him to, and so, he is done. I can assure, unless someone like this pathetic Hufflepuff here attacks him, that he will never injure someone else without reason.

Farewell, Nathan Aphelion. I will be watching.
"

Noises of blades clashing reemitted and Hellius' body fell backwards once again. There was another thump, and once again, everything was eerily calm.

Nate could only look upon the boy in a mix of overwhelming amazement and sheer awe as something within Mr Surla took control of his body and spoke. He briefly considered the possibility that the boy was simply pretending but he dismissed it after only moments; if the boy was putting it on he was very very convincing. He had been about to explode back with retorts, furious at being threatened so overtly when his body went limp and collapsed back to the ground. Yet whatever it was inside the boy could surely still hear him as it seemed to know everything that was going on around the boy.

Nate approached the seemingly lifeless form of Hellius Surla, kneeling down beside him and talking in a calm, yet with an undertone of subtle threat, way: "Whatever the hell you are I know you can hear me so listen well. I do not know how you came to be inside this boy or what you hope to achieve by doing so, but you have sorely underestimate me. You suggest that I could not hope to do anything with Hellius for you will retaliate by causing his death which would make me culpable to murder? If I have to witness one death to potentially stave off countless others I will do it. Hellius Surla has caused nothing but pain and suffering since he arrived at this school. It is only his being underage that I do not attempt to have the boy arrested. He has used Dark Magic and there are spells to prove it. I am a Hogwarts Professor and you are inside a known delinquent with a considerable record, who do you think the Ministry is more likely to believe? I would experience nothing more than a brief questioning by a low level Ministry Official whereas you would no longer exist. Now you tell me what is stopping me from allowing this to occur when I could remove this boy from the school and put everyone's mind at ease?"

He pushed himself up from the ground, drawing his wand and taking a deep breath, "To even suggest that I am incapable of adequately leaving any lasting effect on you is naive to the point of absurdity. Surely something such as yourself understands the value and necessity of acting - putting on a mask if you will. I would not have risen to where I am if I had acted too rashly but that does not eman I am not prepared to do what it takes to protect those in need."

He pointed his wand at the unconscious form of Mr Surla, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. But if you will not leave his body I will have to come in and get you. Subpono Sanctus Benevolentia Phasmatis." What followed was a complicated wand movement and repetition of the incantationa s he summoned a positive force which hopefully could force out the leech inside Mr Surla. He knew it would not be pleasant, but it was the only means he could think to attempt to free Hellius of that which now lived in him.

Hellius Surla would now have not one but two conscious entities living inside of him. What form he second would take he could not tell.
