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?

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Good question. In many-if not most-of all magical theories it is said that magic is connected to everything in the universe. Many things can have a weak connection that is almost completely unevident, like muggles; or incredibly strong, which is seen in wizards or elves. Some muggles get lucky when they are born to have a strong connection to the magical forces that surrounds everything and are able to 'come about', Charles responded to the girl, and nodding as a Hufflepuff handed in her paper. 3 points to Hufflepuff for the question, and 5 more for Miss Dior for her paper.

She nodded at Professor Tortal and gave him a small smile. She then turned her head back to where it was, turning the cloth over an placing it to her face once more. She wasn't feeling so ill anymore, but the fact that she was tired still remained. She sighed, as she took off the cloth and sat up straight, placing her bag infront of her, her hands ontop of that, and the cloth in her hands. She turned the cloth over and over in her hands, enjoying the cool feelnig of it in her small hands, as she looked aronud, biting her lip out of habit.

Fourth Year Posts: 708 Group: Hufflepuff Member #296 Joined: Jan 26 2008 Age 23 Location Portland, Oregon, USA	"Because, like maybe you need a wood that is a certain type and weights a certain amount so the certain type of magic is able to flow through the certain type of wood better." Arthwen was sure she sounded absolutely mad now. "If anyone understood that, raise your hand." She laughed.

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Charles paused for a moment and stopped all body movement and activity. He thought over this question, and the idea seemed... ingenious. Smirking and bringing himself out of the 'frozen' state, he looked at the Gryffindor with a slight glint in his eye. This one... had a very good imagination. I'm glad you asked, and I personally have never thought of the idea even in my countless years of living, he continued, folding his hands behind his back. No one in the Ministry would know either way because that would involve some sort of experimentation and black magic. That is against the law, and unfortunately, it hasn't been tried out legally as of the knowledgeable era. I suppose it is plausible... Charles paused and thought over the ideal more thoroughly. The magic would need an endothermic design and it would have to be intertwined with --determining from one of the theories-- the person's soul, or magical being. While the magical energies are sucked out, the victim dies along with it; then the successor will have his own magical prowess and the victim's along with it. Seems a little far fetched, but it can be plausible.

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

Glancing at the professor, he shrugged and pushed himself out of his seat. Gathering his things and throwing them into his bag with a thump!, he began to leave the class.

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	OOC: In case you didn't notice, Miss Clover, I spaced out for a moment while thinking over the question. If you felt ignored because I didn't see it, I apologize, but I'm just acting as if the character would. Cheers. BIC Charles motioned to Mr. Surla before he managed to slip out the door. Mr. S-- Hellius, could you stay afterwards, please? I want to talk to you about something. Charles leaned against the blackboard with his back away from the chalk-covered area.

Leaning against the desk he was just sitting at, he dropped all his body weight against the surface and awaited whatever it was that the intelligent professor was to do. "Yes, Professor?" He asked in a pondering voice, dropping all noticeable features of emotion.

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Back in my office when we had that discussion about your... ability, there were other things that I saw that I didn't want to reveal to other company. They mustn't know the details, but I realize what happened in actuality. You killed Mr. Delitrious, you killed red caps, and you have committed many other atrocities. But there is something that is... making you do these things, isn't there? Charles smirked at the boy, crossing his arms.

As he went over a small list of what he had committed, the young man knew that this man was definitely not to be reckoned with. He knew what he was doing when it came down to it and that made him a dangerous adversary. Taking information and using it to his advantage. Very brilliant, Tortal... As the professor finished, Hellius perked up. "What's your point?"

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Its name is Flauros, isn't it? Charles smirked, running his hand through his perfectly styled hair. A curse of some sorts was placed upon you and you have no recollection of how or why? Yes, yes... I realize all of this, and I realize that it has been a hindrance for you for about a year now, dear boy. Charles paused and nodded to himself. This is probably the... second case I have seen with this type of curse where a leech literally forms inside of a host. There isn't much I know about them because my other specimen died. What I wish to do is to use you to learn more about these things so I can possibly find a counter. In return for that, I will give you something... like training, or tutoring.

Power was his ultimate weakness, as if there were any chance for him to gain power, he would take it. Pushing himself off of the desk, he slipped his hands into his pockets and gazed at the professor with a look of confusion. "I would like to know how to work this whole, 'shadow controlling' thing."

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	A suitable question, and a respectable want, Charles nodded, holding out his palm once more. Siphoning magical energies from the room around him, he gathered them to the focal point in the center of his palm until a ball of flame ignited once more in his hand. It takes a lot of mental concentration to actually be able to tap into the powers behind the elements even despite the ability you were born with. You need to reach out with your mind, body, and spirit to actually begin; that in itself takes countless amounts of effort and many people are exhausted just from that. I want you to practice, with your wand, on a shadow on the ground anywhere. Reach out to it, and then flick your wand at it... like this, Charles explained, killing off the flame and then making a motion with his hand. With that motion, say the incantation, 'Compos elementum'. This should cause some sort of flutter with the shadow, and make it slightly change. You may not even notice it. Charles paused and then continued. As you gradually get better with the skill, you can literally control the power, but during that time, you have to be completely focussed. Your emotions have to be right in order to respond to the particular magic that follows with shadows. Once you manage to do that, then you can control it.

Unregistered	After everyone else had left and Tortal had begun in a deep conversation with Hellius. He raised and eyebrow and sat back watching the scene infront of him. It appeared to progress with them talking about powers once more, similar to those of his and Fera's. He watched, seeing what would happen next.

But... sure. I'll go with it," Hellius responded, slightly impressed by the display the professor had shown. "I'll start working with it over the next week or so..." The Gryffindor started for the door and could shake off a feeling of being drawn to the man. His power was magnificently brilliant and he wanted it. *I will assist you, dear boy. I watched, and I know how to operate the entire ideal. Believe you me....* Hellius left the Magical Theories classroom.
